Chapter 96 Arnou’s pov

I stood in front of my mirror picking apart my entire appearance and readjusting the neck of my shirt.

To be honest, I was nervous about leaving my chambers.

I was sure that the news about yesterday would have spread around the palace and everyone would be looking at me and waiting for my decision.

It’s not every day, you decide between saving your wife’s life or remaining faithful to her. Each choice comes with a terrible consequence.

I can’t imagine my life without Daciana and yet, there’s no way I would be able to look in her eyes if I had a one night stand with Herley.

Last night, I had been livid. I had stomped away from the meeting room with every intention of torturing Herley until she made the antidote.

But when my anger abated, I realized how foolish that decision would have been.

So many things could easily go wrong or she could just decide to not make the antidote.

I feel so deeply for Daciana. How on earth can I face her when I’ve been the cause of

Ok… I kind of feel bad for hating on Arnou now…. Not completely though because he’s right that it’s his fault that Daciana has been suffering so much.

    Daciana's povAll the generals were already sitted and waiting for us when we arrived.I walked in on shaky feet as I tried to calm my racing heart. Yes Alisa and I had a plan.But what if the plan doesn't work?What then? Do I really give my husband to Herley? These questions kept running through my mind.“Daciana, it's going to be fine. We have a fool proof plan. Please stop worrying, it's making me anxious,” Eva hissed at me in irritation.I decided that she was right and took a deep breath. Everything was going to depend on my acting.I took my seat beside Arnou, and caught Alisa smiling from the corner of my eyes.I rolled my eyes at her and she got into character immediately. It was almost comical. Hopefully no one was looking at us.Harley still had an accomplice in this palace and I still don't know who it is.After Arnou and I sat down, he waved the guards to bring Herley in. It was almost like she could read minds.I was so scared that she would know what we had planned. Th

    Chapter 98Chapter 98As soon as I got into my bed-chamber, I pushed past Lea and Brie and made sure my room door was shut firmly.Brie stood looking at me in surprise. I wiped the tears off my face and burst into happy laughter.“High Luna, what’s going on? Your reaction is scaring me,” Lea said curiously.“Girls, we have work to do,” I said to Lea with a wink.They exchanged confused looks, but I wasn’t bothered. They would catch on soon enough anyway.“Brie, please bring me all the books, the Lycan and I worked on. They’re in his bed chambers,” “Lea, I’m going to need you to sneak in Verena for me, Please get her here as soon as you can,” I said to both of them with a bright smile.Brie nodded her head smartly with a concealed smile and led to do my bidding while Lea remained behind still perplexed.“Who’s Verena, high Luna?” “The market lady who sells herbs. Please get her to me quickly. And remember no one can see the both of you,” I explained to Lea impatiently as I walked up

    Chapter 99I paced up and down my room impatiently. Venera and Lea had yet to arrive. If we were to make the potion in time for tomorrow, then we needed Verena here now.Alisa didn’t see me to share my immediate concerns and slept trying to get me to sit still.“Daciana, come sit and wait. Please stop wearing out your legs,” Alisa said to me exasperated.I paused my pacing and was about to reply to her when a sharp knock sounded at my door.Finally,“Come in!” I yelled out to the person knocking.The door swung open, and Lea entered my room accompanied by Verena in all her cowry-draping skirts glory.“Hello, queen of queens. It’s wonderful to see you again,” Verena greeted me with a smile and a slight bow.“Hello Verena, I hope you’ve been well,” I replied politely in relief.“Thank God you're here. We are working with a time limit,” Alisa said to Venera happily.She turned to face Alisa surprised and surprised immediately.“Good day, Princess Alisa-” she started but Alosa cut her sho

    Chapter 100I snuck around my garden silently. I guess I could have visited it normally with my girls, but I wanted my visit to be something I did alone.When Alisa left earlier, I had sent a message to Verena requesting she bring some more plants that I needed for my plan.Hopefully, she would just think we forgot to add it to the list. It's not that I don't trust Alisa, I don't just want to leave anything up to chance.Hence the reason why I'm sneaking around my garden in the middle of the night trying to find the poisonous plants Verena couldn't get for us.I walked about with a tiny flashlight and the book of toxic plants, trying to find some of the plants. The garden was a bit overgrown and, unkept since its primary owner hadn't visited in a while, so I had to be careful about where I stepped.I had taken a basket from Lea to put the plants and I wore my thickest gloves on both my hands to prevent direct contact with the plants.The first thing on my list was the Jemson weed. It

    Chapter 101I hurried along to my room, carrying the basket underneath my arm with great care.As I walked briskly to my room, I could feel tension fluid in my legs.Alisa had been right. All the pacing I did earlier was beginning to tell on me.My guards seemed surprised as I appeared around the corner and walked quickly into my chambers.They hadn't noticed when I had slipped between them on my way to the garden.Once I entered my room, I shut the door quickly behind me and mind-linked Brie. “Brie, please come to my room immediately. I need the parcel,” I shot to her mentally.She couldn't respond because she didn't have such powers but I hoped she had gotten my message and understood the urgency of it.I opened the basket and set about separating the plants I had picked. Some of them were the ones Alisa and I needed and the other three belonged to me.I still couldn't differentiate between the two plants I needed but there was no time for me to carry out any research. I could feel

    Chapter 102As Gabriel walked briskly and bought me closer to the kitchen, I peeked open one eye to see if Alisa had noticed that my herbs were in the parcel.However, she was talking to a maid and hadn’t yet looked at the herbs that lay open before her.“Alisa!” I called out with a smile as Gabriel finally got to the kitchen with me in his arms.“Daciana, what’s going on?” Alisa asked me warily as she looked at me with a raised brow.I waved her concern off and signaled Lea to bring my chair closer.“Nothing serious, just my legs acting up again,”I replied to her with a smile as Gabriel dropped me into my wheelchair.“Did you know that Arnou called a meeting?”Alisa asked me with a sigh as the maid she had been talking to, gave me a bow and excused herself.“Arnou and I are not supposed to be talking remember? I didn’t get the memo,” I replied to her as I wheeled my chair closer to her.My goal was to keep her attention focused on me, that way she might forget to look at the parcel.

    Chapter 103“My gosh Alisa, you startled me,” I hissed in irritation as I carefully dropped the pestle I had been using to crush some herbs.“What’s the problem?” I asked her a bit worried at her obvious panic.“We have to leave. Hurry!” Alisa mumbled as she bent low and began to cart away the materials I was using to make the potion.“What is wrong with you? Careful, you might touch something. And what do you mean we have to leave?” I asked Alisa, annoyed as I tried to stop her from picking up and dismantling my workspace.“Herley, Arnou, and half of the generals are on their way here. We need to get rid of all traces of the potion Now!” Alisa explained as she resumed hurriedly clearing the space.“Help her!” I ordered Gabriel as I wheeled my chair backwards to give them space to work.“Why are Arnou and the generals coming here with Herley? What happened at the meeting?” I asked Alisa worriedly as I watched them clear and clean up all the equipment I had used.“It’s a good thing. Ki

    Chapter 104I scrunched my brows worriedly as I watched Gabriel and Lea try to wake Brie up. I was running out of time and Brie wasn't any closer to waking up than she had been an hour ago.I knew Lea was tired. She tried to hide it but I caught her yawning several times. Brie wasn't dead order terribly maimed she was just in a really deep sleep.I was growing frustrated moment by moment as we tried everything we could think of to rouse her. Sometimes it might seem like she was waking up, but she would be incoherent and go back to sleep immediately.“High Luna, permit me to say but Brie isn't waking up. We've tried everything we can think of. I think her body just needs time to recuperate,” Lea complained in a low voice.Gabriel nudged her and she kept quiet. They were currently messaging Brie's limbs to stimulate blood flow and wake her up.“I know Lea,” I sighed in frustration.“It's just I gave her something important to keep for me and I need it before dawn,” I explained as I whee

    EPILOGUE Narrator’s POV The woman floated around the ballroom in the arms of her beloved and surrounded by her pack members. Her subjects for she was their sovereign and their High Luna. Her heartbeat thundered with that of her husband. He was happy, she could feel it. So why wasn’t she content? Why did a niggling feeling seem to burrow away at the back of her mind? “My love? Are you okay?” The lycan asked as he focused his attention on her. “Yes, Just. I need some air. Please walk with me,” Daciana requested as she dropped her arm from Arnou’s shoulder and held on to his arm. . “Of course,” Arnou replied. No questions asked. Together, they walked out of the ballroom, their absence causing slight worry in a red-haired girl and her friend. “Do you feel a bit better now?” Arnou asked her as they walked down the palace hallway hand in hand. “Hmm. It’s just, we haven’t had this much peace and happiness in so long. Am I crazy, if I feel like it’s not permanent?” A slight frown

She was supposed to have some time to name her babies and hold and say goodbyes and…and…I pushed a trembling Alisa from me blindly as I crawled toward the burning figure in the middle of the dungeon.She didn’t even scream!Loud roars of anger resounded throughout the room as the Lycan sped into the dungeon and went straight for his burning wife.How could she do this?She burned brightly, with the flames so hurt that they charred my skin as I crawled towards her.As I screamed, cried, and sobbed, I vaguely registered someone wrapping their arms around my waist to keep me from reaching her.They didn’t have much success with the Lycan as he ran headfirst into the fire like it was water and held onto his burning bride.As I cried, I realized where the air should have been fil

    Chapter 223Narrator’s POVThe night was dark and the prison cell was cold yet the girl didn’t shiver or whimper. She stood with her arms chains and a resigned look on her face.The goddess knows this time she tried. She had looked on as everyone dropped to their knees and begged her. And even though she had dreamt, for months of the day they would all recognize that they wronged her, In that moment, all she felt was genuine worry that her best efforts wouldn’t be enough.It seems almost ironic, as she had been a proud, confidant general, Second only to the lycan and primed to be his high Luna. But living about those dreadful humans for months would do that to anyone. They would grate at you until all your confidence faded away.She knew the golden-haired woman wouldn’t die. She had taken measures against that a while ago but looking into the fearful faces of what had once been her family, Herley decided to scrape together what remains of confidence she had left and do her best.And i

    Chapter 222Daciana’s POVI stood in silence as I watched Arnou open my bedroom door weakly.The utter fear and grief on his face when I had agreed to end out marriage kept on replaying in my mind but I shook my head to clear my thoughts.Arnou stepped out into the sitting area and I followed closely behind him.The moment we came out, Maliya pushed herself out of Alisa’s arms and stood up with a fearful look on her face.“Well? What do we do now?” Alisa asked softly as she stood up and threaded her fingers with Maliyas.It gave me great joy to see that they had reconciled.“Nothing. We do nothing but wait fir it all to be over and I take this chance to say goodbye,” I replied her before Arnou could open his mouth to speak.He clenched his hands by his side in anger and I could feel the waves if his emotions and his hurt flooding through me.“But your children? Daciana reconsider this. Maybe there’s something we can do or-“ Danica said with a frown on her face.I walked up to her and

    Chapter 221Daciana’s POVI gasped as Triss yelled and everyone in the room turned to stare at me.Maliya blinked confused but I could already sense the animosity pouring from her at Triss’s announcement as she listened and didn’t hear any heart beating in my chest.“EVERYONE OUT!” Arnou growled suddenly as he pointed at the door.He was afraid. That much I could feel, but he was also incredibly relieved and that brought me small peace.My legs shook as I pulled myself to a seating position and Triss snarled at Arnou angrily.“I left just for a few minutes. What did you do? Where’s Daciana? Why is that thing in her body? She demanded angrily as her eyes flitted to me for a quick second.Hurt racked my body as tears pricked the back of my eyes and I started to speak. To tell Triss something. Anything that would make her know, I wasn’t some strange enemy but Arnou beat me to it.“I SAID LEAVE!” He yelled angrily as the doors of my bedroom swung open and several palace guards rushed in.

Silenced and immune to the world.“Yes. Someone similar, except I was alone, but you’re not. I’m here with you, and together we’re stronger,” Eva’s soothing voice flooded my brain, and I smiled in ecstasy.Perhaps this place, this dark cocoon, was better after all.The sweet feeling of peace that lingered in my limbs, the love between my wolf and me We were made for this, just the two of us. No one else mattered.“Yes. We are,” I whispered back as a content smile flooded my lips. This place was perfect. Paradise.None of the suffering above could touch us here. Here we were happy and here we would remain-“NO!” The sharp scream of someone cut through my peace, and I blinked violently, disturbed.That wasn’t my wolf! Who was that, and why were they disturbing our peace? Were they trying to take

    Chapter 219Maliya’s PovI groaned weakly as I blinked open my eyelids.“What’s going on?” I croaked to no one in particular.“Here, have some water,” A voice said calmly from my bedside.I sat up slowly and stared at Alisa in shock.She had dark circles under her eyes and looked extremely tired but apart from that, I could almost not tell she had been battling a magic wielding, Vampiric child just hours ago.Wait! What time is it?The last time I had seen Alisa, she had been battling Star by herself while Prince Xavier faced off some other Vampire.The moment Verena died and told me to get Herley for the high Luna, I knew I had to leave before the Vampires finished off Alisa and Xavier and came for me too.I crawled to their horses that they had left unattended, and this one is surprisingly because I have no idea how I achieved such a feat but I dragged my naked and poisoned ass up one horse and held on as hard as I could while the horse raced away.The goddess surely had a hand in m

    Chapter 218Arnou’s PovPower surged through me. Expanding as the warmth of the fire licked at my fingers greedily. For a moment, I feared I was drawing on Daciana’s power too much, and I retracted my hand.It was unmarred, and when I turned my head around to stare at my wife on the bed, she lay unmoving, like the power draw hadn’t affected her at all.I already knew she was powerful, but it just put into perspective just how powerful she is.More confident than the first time, I put my hand into the flame again as the familiar feeling of warmth licked at my fingers. The fire danced like it was alive, and it was relatively easy for me to pluck a piece, almost like breaking off a branch of a tree.I withdrew my hand from the fire, and with the little piece swimming in my palm like mercury, I poured it into the tube and stood to my feet.Everyone in the room, including Herley, watched in surprise. It was almost like she hadn’t expected me to be able to do it.“You stuck your hand into f
