Chapter 5: Castle Duvall

last update Last Updated: 2024-04-12 16:28:37

Aimee's POV

The car drove into the premises of the castle that stood in pride before me. There was a huge water fountain at the far right side of the compound. It looked neat and well-kept. There were a lot of people standing at various points in the compound and I could only guess that they were…

“Guards, mostly warriors” my thoughts were interrupted by a man I had never met

“Good day, Mi lady” he greeted me the moment I turned to him. “I’m Alec. I’ll be your tour guide until Princess Reine is ready to see you”

I stared at him for a good number of seconds. He was so close to being as tall as Lucien. His brown hair and green eyes fit him quite well. Reluctantly, I forced a smile. It was like I had not trusted someone to bring me here. And now I am here. However, the aura he gave up was that of authority but it was also calm.

He gestured for me to start the walk up the stairs that would lead us into the castle building. Before stepping on the stairs, I glanced at the two gigantic statues of wolves that stood side by side by the stairs. “That is a little symbol of strength for the pack. The one on the right is the Alpha and the other is the Luna” Alec explained, pointing at them

I nodded in understanding even though I was still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I was being told something I did not believe in. It was hard. For years, I had one belief. Magical things are not real and are only fictions of our imaginations.

In just one day, I walked through a portal and found myself in a world that was so different from the one I knew and recognized. The warriors that stood at ease at every point looked nothing like normal. If I thought the people I had seen outside here looked more complex, tall and agile then these ones were five times more than that.

I could easily liken them to human giants but then they were not human neither were they giants. “This is the open area. Living room like you humans called it” Alex explained, gesturing with his hand

I do not know if he was making a kind of jab to humans but it was hard to pinpoint it with how calm his aura was right now. Instead of delving into that for long, I looked around the living room. In my mind’s eye, I had expected something a little outdated but I was amazed as to how modern everything looked.

The couches were huge and magnificent. A huge chandelier stood in the middle of the ceiling with its light dim. There was a mini bar at the side with so many varieties of drinks and from the look of it, they were all alcohol.

Everything looked neat and perfectly placed. It was not a surprise when I looked down to the tiles below my feet and I could see my face on it. Unfortunately, I could not hide my surprise so Alec caught it and smiled at me.

“The maids do a good job at cleaning. Lucien would not be happy otherwise” he explained to me

Then I wondered where Lucien or Reine were. I had been in this castle for over thirty minutes now and still, there was no sign of them. I darted my eyes around and it seemed that it was obvious to Alec what my issue was.

“They will be down soon, Mi lady” he said

“I am Aimee,” I told him firmly

I do not really like being called Mi lady all the time when he was trying to address me. Alec nodded. “I am aware,” he said with a smile

“Then why do you keep calling me Mi lady?”

“It’s just a form of respect, Mi lady”

“Just call me Aimee please”

“As you wish”

He placed back his hand behind his back as we resumed my tour. I really did not know the point of all of this. I was happy waiting in the living room until Reine came. “That is the garden” Alex informed me while we passed it

“Aimee” I heard Reine call

Instinctively, I turned and spotted her some distance away from me. With a wide smile, she rushed forward and hugged me. “I’ve missed you so much” Reine confessed

“I missed you too,” I told her before she let go of me

Reine smiled at Alec. “I’ll take over from here. Thank you for showing her around” she told him

Alec nodded slightly then moved closer to her and placed a kiss on her cheeks. “Mi lady” he bowed at me before walking away

“Who was that?” I turned to Reine

“He is my mate” Reine explained with a smile

“Mate?” I could not help but ask

She nodded at me then linked her hand together with mine before leading me forward. I wanted to ask for more details but I chose to hold back. She would tell me when she was ready. From what I understand, it was crazy for a human to have a mate.

After the tour, Reine led me to the garden where a maid served us a cup of tea, bowed then walked away. All the while I had not seen Lucien anywhere. I did not bother to ask him because I was in his castle and if he did see the need to come see me then that was his problem and not mine.

“I know you might be wondering what is going on. This is moonstone pack. My brother Lucien is the Alpha of this pack and also the protector of Nexus. Alec and Isaac are both Lucien’s betas. Alec is my mate” She explained some more things that only got crazier and crazier and I found it difficult to believe her

“I know you might be wondering why I am telling you all of this” I nodded at her words “You remember the time you met my brother for the first time and you felt a connection with him, it was the mate bond that you both shared. Lucien is your mate or better still, you are Lucien’s mate. His fated mate. For so long he has lived without a mate” she explained

I opened my mouth to speak but I was finding it hard to get anything out in words. A lot has happened in only a few days. “I need to rest” I managed to say

Reine spoke to a maid to accompany me to my assigned room. It took a while to fall asleep but I did. I needed to sleep and maybe the next day, I would make sense of all that was happening around me.

**************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Lucien’s POV

I stared at the lady from afar. Where I stood, she could not see me but I could see her very clearly. “She’s beautiful. I can sense some fire in her. Quite inquisitive too” Alec's voice rang in my ear

I turned around to meet his gaze then shook my head. “I do not care. I can’t have a weak human Luna”

“She’ll grow” Alec tried to convince me but I had already made my decision

I was going to reject Aimee and get married to Cassandra instead. Cassandra is my girlfriend and even though she is not my mate, I would prefer her to be my mate rather than a weak human that would only weaken my lineage.

Getting mated to Cassandra is not for love but for the purpose that I serve in this pack. To protect this pack he needed someone strong and skilled in battle, not someone that would make it difficult to protect the pack.

“You should rethink” Isaac pitched in

“I know you want to for Cassandra but if you explain to Aimee, I’m sure-”

“No” I interrupted Alec “That explanation is something I do not have time for. She would be rejected by tomorrow and that’s final” I told them before they left

After a couple of minutes, I left to go have a look at her. She was my mate and even though I wanted to reject I still needed to know her. The first time we met it was only a couple of minutes before I had to leave urgently. Maybe, I could speak to her even though it would be once.

Walking over to her room, I pulled a nonchalant expression even though with every step I took, Shadow was getting agitated. Shadow was my wolf and I knew he was not happy that I was going to reject our mate but what had to be done, had to be done without emotional attachment.

I had to keep him under control before he did the same to me. I saw a bright light coming from her room but I did not think much about it and thought the lights were on.

Without knocking on the door, I turned the knob and stepped in only to stop in my tracks when I stared at her. My mate was levitating over her bed.

Aimee was not only levitating but she was glowing like the moon.I wanted to believe that she was doing this on purpose but then her eyes were closed. In fact, she was fast asleep. She certainly did not know what was happening to her body. What exactly was going on and who was this mate of mine? A lot of questions came into mind but I was finding it difficult to get any substantive answers.Before I could get into the negative, I remembered something vital. “The white wolf is not an ordinary wolf. She glows like the moon in the night and her powers are unmeasurable” I remembered the prophecy many years agoFor years I had gone in search of this white wolf to save my people. The white wolf was the only vantage point to destroy the dark forces and stop them from causing any form of trouble. Most especially, on

I knew what was happening. It needed to be stopped.Up till this moment, I was able to keep Shadow on a leash. There were a lot of things involved in being a wolf. One thing was for sure needed if they were to survive being a wolf and that was control. Wolves turn to rogues because they tend to lose this control they have over their wolves.Instead, their wolves control them. Usually, wolves have this sudden taste to kill anyone, especially humans and sometimes even our kind. With control, this can be curbed although was not usually a simple thing to do.Worse, if you are blessed with extraordinary powers. It can go haywire without control. From a young age, I had to be trained on how to control my wolf. Shadow was the strongest wolf in the entire pack. Having such a title was scary but also a privilege. Wi

She looked at the dead people around her; her supposed kidnappers.Her hair was disheveled and her clothes were torn all over with some flesh showing. She glanced at me as I approached her in the middle of the dead bodies of her kidnappers. They were cut up so badly that some of their internals were out in the open.Staring at my mate, both I and Shadow were relieved. I had not gone close to her since the imprint and had even considered rejecting her, but with each step towards her I felt a strange way. When I got to her, I gave her my hand and she looked around the dead men around her again somewhat scared, glanced at the others behind me, then back to me and my hand.Reluctantly, she took my hand and stood to her feet. I smiled, but it was not up to a minute that I saw her eyes weaken and drain before it shut c

However, I had to shut it back because the light felt too bright.When I opened my eyes, for a minute, I could not remember what had happened. In fact, my brain was blank as I stared at the ceiling. After laying motionless for a couple of minutes staring , I suddenly remembered what I had seen a while ago and everything came flooding back to me.I was in a world I never thought existed, a pack. A wolf pack in a supernatural world called Nexus. I was mated to Lucien, my best friend's brother. He did not seem to like me, which I did not really mind. And then the invasion, The attack! I remembered that I was with Reine in her room when she heard Alec calling out to her.She did not leave until she told me to stay right where I was. I did not doubt her and waited but someone or something creeped in through the window. I

    Aimee's POVI stayed in bed for a couple of days. All the whole Riene would come visit me but would leave the moment Lucien stepped into the room. Once he came, he always stayed for over two hours and sometimes until I was sleepy and needed to rest.I hated it! I didn't want to be around him and he had not apologized for what he did. Reine has been trying to excuse his behaviour and saying he was trying but I was not going to buy it. Yes, he was my mate but that does not mean anything. Just because we were mates does not mean I'll just accept him after being so stern. After two weeks, I was finally strong enough to move around and train to get to know my powers properly. For now, I had not told them that I had met with my wolf but it was fine they told me I was the white wolf. Practically, the same thing Menae had told me.“Try to understand him, I want to be with shadow, he is our mate” Menae said to me as she was also trying to make me not see Lucien as a jerkI had complained to h

    Aimee's POVI did not want to think I was right. It was not it. He was only being nice and that was it. I tried to convince myself of that as I nodded and he moved away from me, sensing my discomfort. We had to stay away from each other for an hour before getting back to work.During that, I shoved that thought to the side as I might have misunderstood his way of explaining things to me. However, at the back of my mind, something told me that Isaac had been withdrawn since I knew him and never tried to get close to me in that manner so why did he do that?Another part of me tried to convince myself that we had spent a lot of time together so he was just being caring and nothing extra. I wanted to confront him about it, but what if I had misunderstood what he did and it caused a problem that should have never been there?I chose to bite my lips and continue with my training instead of thinking about such things. Isaac most definitely knew I was mated to Lucien and if he dared have such

Not only was she the white wolf but she was my mate and I have chosen to have her as my Luna.Isaac's nurturing love for her and even daring to confess and bring the idea of eloping into her head was just beyond anything I could take from anyone not even a man I thought I could trust and was my Beta.“Please, Alpha. I was just trying to-”“Guards!” I yelled in angerIt was only a matter of time before I could no longer take his presence before me. He was a traitor but I had a little relationship with him which was why I was only banishing him. He could live in other packs that were far away from here if they accepted him as he would no longer be anything but an Omega with him wandering around or better still go by himself to the human city he wanted to take my mate to.The guards came in but Reine and Alec joined them obviously after

I had only heard her voice once and that was when I was unconscious but ever since I became conscious it felt like she vanished and would never come to me.Hearing her voice gave me hope but then my body began shifting. My bones were making cracking sounds and I let out a blood curling shriek because It started to hurt as hell and my bones were moving in directions I never thought they could. I saw Lucien and Reine running to my side and felt Lucien’s breath as he whispered in my ear that it was going to be alright.It was a quick but extremely painful transformation and I was soon on all fours, my vision blue as I looked around before finally bringing my gaze to my feet, my fur was glowing to match the light of the moon.“Menae” I called out and she replied with a little howlI did not have to be told that it was louder than any of the wolf growls I have heard, It was

    Lucien's POV I knew she was scared for our well-being. I too was scared as to what might be waiting for us when he got close to the pack. With each step we took, I could feel the dark aura of the dark forces all around the forest.It was thanks to the moon goddess that it did not spread to where we were able to camp. I knew what we were about to do was risky and we could not bring everyone with us so we did not gather much attention from anyone if any attack ensued, it meant we would not be able to protect ourselves very well.We walked a distance before we finally decided to stop. Our present location was at the peak of the aura of the dark forces. The aura was sucking up most of our energy. We had not worked for a while but it felt like we did and that was not good.So this was the plan. This was a way to weaken us so we would not be able to attack and defeat them. The dark Lord knows that he is no match for us. Our wolves were strong and with just a single bite they would die. Th

I could not sit and watch Lucien die.He was my life. Even if I died, he needed to live for his people, for Reine. With me, I doubted we would be able to save them. Lucien was the alpha. He had trained most of his life for this so if I could save him I took that chance.For two days, my entire body felt like I was hit and was under a truck. I could not move nor could I open my eyes. I was conscious but still, I could not do anything. I could still remember what I did last before falling unconscious and wanted to see him. I wanted to be sure that it worked but I could not do that.When I finally opened my eyes, I jumped out of bed and instantly regretted it. I still felt really weak. When I was finally able to move and taken to him, he was still unconscious. I waited for days for him to wake up but he was growing

    Lucien's POV The moment that sword went through me, I lost every bit of strength I had. I knew the sword was not an ordinary sword. It was laced in wolf's bane. If it were ordinary swords, I would have been able to get back to my feet, but with the wolf's bane, it paralyzed me. I tried to get back on my feet and fight but I knocked to the ground. I tried to fight it and get back up but my body shook with my pain replaying in my mind again. I pushed it aside but still, I could not. No matter how much I tried to fight this, it felt like I was only pulling myself down. I could sense that we were losing. My people needed me. They needed their alpha. I kept telling myself to stand and to join in the fight until my body could no longer take it. Wolf's bane knew how to travel fast and knew how to paralyze every avenue for wolves to heal themselves. It was dangerous for us, as that was our vantage point. Something was not right in this attack. I had so many questions as to how the dark Lo

    Aimee's POV I was frozen in that spot, my hand behind my back as the other covered my mouth. My heart was so close to thudding out of my chest, killing me before this general did. My stomach was turning into so much anxiety. I felt twigs snap, indicating the general was walking closer to me. No, no, no. I yelled in my head as I shut my eyes and felt the general get closer to me. “We need to meet the dark Lord now,” the leader of the generals yelled and I heard the general close to me sigh. I felt another whoosh of air and the general was no longer close to me. I heaved a sigh of relief, placing my hand on my chest as I slowly took another peek at them. They all walked into the castle, shutting the main door behind them as they did so. I sighed again, as our only refuge had been taken over. Slowly, I backed away from there, heading back towards the direction I had come from. Not long after running back, I spotted Lucien and his betas coming towards me. Lucien was barely able

The words got stuck in my throat as I watched them drive the sword into him, making sure the tip of the blade came forth from his stomach.Lucien flew his hand to the stomach as he paused. His eyes locked on mine for only a minute before he dropped to the ground and Alec took the head of the dark force that did that to Lucien. I was rooted to where I stood, unable to move.Everything happening around me felt like it was being slowed down and I could barely hear or concentrate. My soul felt like it was being crushed. Lucien stood in all fours, then placed his hand on the injured part of his stomach.His face was very red, with his veins popping out at both sides of his head. He clenched his teeth together. My heart rate accelerated just looking at him. I wanted to move. I tried to move but it felt like I was no longer in control of my own body.There was fire, chaos, blood stains, and de

They looked just like normal werewolves, but what made them different was the aura that emanated from them and the dark eyes they had.We transformed into our wolf form and louged at them, scattering as they were everywhere. We needed to eliminate them before they got close to Reine and the women. It was of utmost importance that we kept them safe. I clawed at their faces, disfiguring them as I took their eyes and lips.I clawed and swung at each and everyone of them as I moved. I eliminated most of the ones that crowded me and looked around. Lucien and his betas were busy with the dark forces that gathered them.Then I noticed five others running towards the guest room. I tried to speak but since Lucien and his betas were busy, it was up to me to stop them from getting close. Quickly, I ran towards them at full speed. Once I was close enough to one, I clawed his back

    Aimee's POVEveryone in the pack is moving helter-skelter, trying to gather as many things as possible, as we only have a day left before the dark forces get into the pack and attack. Unfortunately, due to the outbreak of the illness, not much can be done.I and Lucien went down to the basement. He got to the side of the room, counting each step as he did so and on the twentieth step, he bent over and pushed the door down. A secret room came into view. Gradually, Lucien went in and on the second step, he gave me his hand to take.I did and we got into the room. It was a large space with a lot of food items but we needed more to be added to the stash. “I don't think this will be enough,” I saidThe pack was large. All the men would be at the battle field but the mother and children were still a lot and would not fit in here at once. Lucien nodded, still holding my hand. “Yes but we have somewhere larger and that is where they would stay,” he said, then led me out of the secret room.He

    Aimee's POV Lucien got to his feet almost immediately and headed out without saying a word. I trailed behind him as he was fast with his feet. Since this incident, he does not walk slowly but as though he was headed for war. I did not have an issue with it because it was needed for swift action to be taken at all times. I expected a lot of things. Maybe a letter from the border or a letter from the Oracle but I did not expect what I saw. When we got to the living room, Alec and Reine were already there staring at the man I had not seen for a while now. This should be more than three months since he was banished and thrown out of the pack. He looked thinner than what he was three months ago. The veins around his fingers were more visible but even though people could mistake his thin figure as weakness I could also tell he was stronger than when he left. Isaac, who was no longer dressed in his royal attire, stood there and bowed as Lucien got closer to him. Lucien did not spare him

    Aimee's POVA week went by with the dark clouds still hovering around the realm and pack. It stopped snowing two days ago, but it was still not good enough. Most of the pack members had fallen so sick that they could barely move a step without the help of someone.Both the pack hospital and the realm's biggest hospital have been flooded with lots of sick warewolves, and there is little manpower to attend to all of them. Some pack members have opted to go to the Oracle, but she was unable to help them.The pack was in chaos and disarray, as there were a lot of things that needed to be done but none had been done yet. The soldiers were dropping each day, and it was not helping the security of the pack. Masks and gloves had become a general way to prevent direct contact with the snow from the dark clouds to prevent falling sick, but not staying out long was still advised as that could create an avenue for them to fall sick.However, Reine and I have stayed indoors, only looking out throu
