Third POV.Although Aiden did not reply to what Jordan had said or glance at him as he walked away, Aiden had heard his words.He knew that Jordan did not tell him that because he was defending Leila since they weren’t close as he was close to him.He closed his eyes as he wondered what he had done.All these while, he had witnessed them practicing although they didn’t see them. He had always kept a close eye on them cause he was afraid that either of them would disappear just as his dad did.Despite that, he never thought that Leila could go to such lengths to help everyone to strengthen themselves to save his people. He also had to admit that she was the perfect Queen for both him and the kingdom.Any more dissatisfaction could lead the council to strip him of his position and he didn’t want that when his father came back, he would find their family wasn’t ruling anymore.Thinking of this, he let out a deep sigh as he made a decision.He stood up and walked upstairs.When he approach
Third POV.Aiden stood up and then picked up his clothes that were lying on the ground before wearing them.At this time, Leila was so tired but since she was happy that Aiden had agreed to mate with her, she didn’t close her eyes and thus she saw what he was doing.“Aiden, are you going somewhere? We just mated and marked each other. Why can’t you stop with me?” Leila asked as she was in disbelief.She had a bad feeling about everything but she did not dare think much as she didn’t want it to be true.“Yes, we mated and marked but do you think you are worth it? I just did whatever I did cause Aurora begged me to, I didn’t want to. If I were asked, you could have remained suffering in pain just as my dad is suffering currently but what good will it do, huh? Isn’t better to fuck you test your body and always use it to satisfy my needs?” Aiden said coldly as he looked at him.Hearing this, Leila was shocked and couldn’t believe it.“Why?” she asked as she started crying as she couldn’t b
Third POV.They looked at the figure leaving the corridor with deep eyes as they tried to understand what was happening.“You better make sure I don’t see Aiden 'cause I will kill him! Do you know that Leila has more darkness in her than her light? We always tried to make her give it up or control it but what has he done? He gave her a reason to let it have control!” Elana said as she glared at Aurora.Although it wasn’t her fault, Elana couldn’t find anyone else close to Aiden who could take the blame.She looked at the closed door before saying, “I am going to get Josiah. You should get all the guards in the chamber settled in less than an hour.”She walked away from them as she felt she was losing control thus she didn’t want to cause them any hurt.Seeing their retreating figures, Aurora couldn’t help but cry.She had tried her best to make everyone happy and have peace in the palace but her brother ruined it without caring what would happen. Although she was initially worried abou
Third POV.“Grandpa sent us some video which he saved from watching the rogues practicing as they prepare for the war,” Elana told him instead of answering the question she had been asked.Hearing this, Josiah halted and looked at her with an amusing look.“Does your grandmother know?” He asked as he knew that was against what they should do.To him, it was like they had a leakage. Although it made his work easier, he felt a bit sad as he wouldn’t be able to prove himself in front of his master.“Of course not! If she finds out we will all be in trouble!” Elana said in a serious tone as she shook her head.“True but you guys should know that it won’t be hidden from her for too long. I am afraid that once she finds out she would be disappointed and might punish both of you and I don’t want that,” Josiah said care was evident in his eyes but Elana just rolled her eyes as she didn’t understand why he seemed to care so much about them.“Disappointed? I am so much more disappointed in her t
Third POV.Josiah paused what he was watching and looked at her with a frown as he shook his head.“No, what they are being taught are skills aimed to kill after a few minutes. If we use the light’s tactics, we would kill them, it would just defend ourselves. As you know the light is righteous, holy, pure. It can’t be connected with people’s blood. Thus, most light’s tactics are defending till you tire your enemies but do we have time, can we do that?” Josiah explained.Elana felt a headache when she heard that.“So you mean it would be useless? Because we already know their techniques thus that can be considered as defending. We don’t need other defending skills, right?” Elana asked after some moments.“We can still teach both. The warriors aren’t gods thus they can forget the next move. In that moment, one can lose their lives. If we teach them the light tactics, when one tends to not predict the enemy's next move or forgets but can remember any light tactics, he will be able to save
Third POV.Elana halted and looked at Josiah cause she knew what he said but sensed.“You know what, I never knew you could be so stubborn,” Elana said in a mocking tone, making Josiah embarrassed.“So what do you think?” “If I don’t agree I think I would hear the end of your old talking,” Elana said, making Josiah roll his eyes but he didn’t say anything because he knew that he shouldn’t push his luck.“Elana, what took you too long?” Leila said as she pouted as she walked towards her sister.“Elana, why don’t you tell her to go rest? Isn’t she uncomfortable since she has just finished mating? What if she hurts herself since he hasn’t healed yet?” Doris told Elana as she walked towards them.She as a she-wolf knew the pain one caused after the marking and mating process. One often requires enough rest to heal and gain strength.Hearing this, both Elana and Josiah turned and looked at Leila who was busy glaring at Doris.Elana remembered that after her mating and marking process, she
Third POV.Josiah trained them for three days non-stop as he had passed some energy to them so that they would not get tired.“We haven’t slept for three days yet I still feel as if I have enough energy to not sleep even for a week,” a warrior said as he laughed, making the others join in as they agreed to his words.“Now that I am sure that you all have understood the fighting tactics and how to use your powers, I can go rest as I am very assured that you will win in the battle,” Josiah said as he looked around.All these while, Aiden had been hiding himself in the chamber’s inner room as he watched and followed everything that had been taught.He knew that the councils had not yet looked for him since they were all busy with training at the elders' side.Because he did not want to lose his position or become a laughingstock when everyone found out that he no longer had his wolf, he opted to work extra hard and become the strongest among the Lycans even without his wolf.All his old f
Third POV.Confusion was written on everyone’s face as they turned their heads to look at Leila.“Leila dear, what do you mean when you say that?” Amanda asked Leila.“He was stabbed when we got in the room that day. I tried saving him. Although he was badly wounded, I did try saving him but my energy was depleting quickly thus it would have been me who would have died if I continued,” Leila answered as she looked at the man who was her mate in everyone’s eyes apart from her.“You should have saved him no matter what!” Aiden shouted, making Leila laugh coldly.They all felt shivers run down their spine as they heard her laugh. It was a laugh that was wicked, mocking, and at the same time carried hatred in it.“Yes? He has been good to me and my family and my mate’s father, of course, I had to save him! Because of this, Amaya proposed something and I did it cause it was the only way to make sure he was eventually healed and continued to be alive. I had planned to tell you everything whe
