The blade's Crest
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Lucius’s eyes strayed to the drip and he watched as the little drops of liquid fell one after the other into Emelda’s body. Emelda’s eyes were shut and Lucius watched her closely to catch a breath from her, one even but he struggled to catch it. And then, Lucius bent to kiss her on the forehead and that was when he felt the hot hair from her nostrils touching his face. The air was cool and slow but it was there. And Lucius was glad because that meant that she was still alive with him in this world.
“So what’s the prediction? Why isn't she waking up?” Darius asked the medics. Like Lucius, Darius was also deeply concerned about Emelda and if anyone had taken one look at him the whole time, they would have noticed the crease at the top of his forehead. The lines on his face had grown deeper and longer and h

The Twin Alpha's Curse Which of my sons is dead?
It had been over two hours since Sir Sule had left Cyrus’s bedroom and in that time, Cyrus had paced around in his room. Cyrus still experienced some sort of pain anytime he attempted to walk but that didn't stop him from moving around in his room.He was apprehensive and he had good reason to be because he was the man who was waiting for the news about the death of one of his sons.And that was not a good place to be in.His food had been brought in earlier and Cyrus had almost beaten the manservant who came with the food. He had barked at him so much that the man had hurriedly left the chambers with the food tray still in his hands.Cyrus wasn't in the mood for anything, talk less of eating and so he paced around in his room in a bid to calm his anxiety.And then he heard his door open hastily and before he turned around, he already knew who it was. He had picked up on the person’s scent even before the person opened the door.It
The Twin Alpha's Curse Cyrus is out of control
There have been several times when Cyrus has requested the presence of the chief priest in his bedroom or anywhere else. And even though the chief priest had shown up timely on all occasions, there wasn't any occasion where the chief priest was as fast as this time.In less than ten minutes after his order, both Sule and the chief priest were back in Cyrus’s bedroom.Cyrus was standing with his eyes looking down on the table where the blade was as he tried to imagine what exactly was going on. He had known for years that the silver lake kingdom was trying to get back with the Lakewood kingdom but their barn was a permanent one and no king in his right senses would have allowed it.So as Darius stared at the knife, he wondered why Darius had even granted his audience to King Barroc.Cyrus considered calling Darius as well, he was to answer for what had happened with the weird king and those were the first words out of Cyrus’s mouth the mo
The Twin Alpha's Curse The blade controls you
Cyrus’s brain seemed like it was clouded in a fog as he tried to remember the last few minutes. He was able to pick on bits and pieces but that was it and he could also remember that he had briefly shifted into his wolf form.He could see some burn marks on his skin and they resembled the kind of marks that were left after he had come in contact with wolfsbane. And then very slowly, Cyrus’s memory came to him and he started to get bits and pieces of what had transpired in his bedroom.“Your highness,” Sule was the first to speak up, “you were out of control for a moment and we had to stabilize you somehow. That was why the chief priest used some wolfsbane on you. Accept our apologies, your highness,” Sule explained.“There is no need to apologize, Sule, I remember faintly what happened and if anyone should be the one apologizing, it should be me,” Cyrus replied.“I’m sorry for losing control,
The Twin Alpha's Curse Because I am in love with her
Darius and his Beta, Adolf, were out riding away from the kingdom. Darius had left Emelda’s room with a strong determination to bring her a cure from the weird king but before he left, he had asked his most trusted person on earth, Adolf, to go with him.And without any pause, Adolf had jumped on his horse and had joined his friend in a ride away from Lakewood and to Silverlake.Silver lake was a far distance from Lakewood and it was going to take them the whole day before they could reach it. But Darius didn't mind and neither did Adolf.The friends had been riding for six straight hours when they found a small stream and Darius suggested that they take a break. The sun was already about to set but that wasn't going to stop Darius, he had every intention of riding through the nights, he wasn't going to stop till he got to Silverlake but the horses needed some food and some water and so, Darius and Adolf took a short break at the bank of the river wher
The Twin Alpha's Curse Yemanja is not an option
Adolf had initially suspected that his Alpha’s feelings for Emelda had grown deep and that Darius did not have strong negative feelings towards her as he did before. But it looked to Adolf that he had underestimated those feelings because never in his wild mind did he assume that Darius would fall in love with the girl. He didn't see it coming, he didn't see it happening but now that it was out of Darius’s mouth, it all made sense to him.It looked like the signs had been there all along but he just didn't notice it.Darius sprung up from the ground and dusted the sand away from his body. And then he went on to arrange his horse. It was time for them to continue on their journey to Silver Lake kingdom.Adolf followed suit and just like Darius had done, he also dusted the sand off his body and started to arrange his horse.There was an awkward silence between them and in that time Darius tried to avoid Adolf’s gaze and he had his reas
The Twin Alpha's Curse Where is King Barroc?
After a long ride, Darius and Adolf finally arrived at Silver Lake and they went straight to the palace where they were greeted at the gates by three mean-looking guards. The guards did not move an inch nor did they acknowledge the entrance of the Alpha of the Lakewood moon pack nor his beta. Darius immediately sprung off from his horse and so did Adolf as they walked up the stairs into the palace.For some reason, Adolf had expected the guard to stop them but to his surprise, none of the guards made a move at them nor did they even flinch as Darius climbed up the stairs. Unlike Darius, Adolf was a little bit hesitant in climbing, and he took several looks at his back as if he was expecting someone to spring on him. But no one did and then finally, he followed the steps of his Alpha.At the back of his mind, Adolf wondered about what could be happening back at Lakewood. They hadn't told anyone about their short and impromptu trip to Silver Lake and Adolf co
The Twin Alpha's Curse Something in return
Darius stormed out of the dining room and back to the guard who Adolf still had pinned to the ground, “wherein god's name is the king?” Darius demanded and from the look on his face, everyone could tell that he wanted an answer to his question immediately.The guard struggled to speak but he was unable to because Adolf’s foot was pinned on his face.“Take off your leg, he can’t get away from us,” Darius commanded Adolf and Adolf pulled his leg away from Darius’s face.“I do not know where the king is,” the guard spat on the floor, just before Darius’s right foot.And that was all Darius needed to charge at him. His temper was already exhausted and he was not having it anymore.In one swift move, Darius was standing directly in front of the guard and his hand was delivering the most intense punches on the guard.The guard fought back but he was no match for the Alpha of the Lakewood moon p
The Twin Alpha's Curse Leave, Now!
Adolf’s expression of unbelieve was more intense than Darius’s own. Adolf didn't know everything that was going on but Darius had already told him a part of it.And one thing that Adolf could identify with currently was that he didn't trust the weird king at all, not even for a second.And Darius was beginning to feel the same way. Darius was struggling to admit it but something was telling him that the weird king had played on his intelligence and that there had always been a secret agenda the whole time.“Why do you want Gedoni and Tobias?” Darius demanded. The request was insane and Darius hadn't ever guessed that the weird king would have anything to do with his treacherous uncle or with Tobias.“That is for me alone, I do not have to tell you why I want them. But that is the request, I will hand over the cure the minute you deliver Tobias and Gedoni to me,” The weird king said as he tucked the cure into his pocket.

The Twin Alpha's Curse Something Happened
After the death of her mother, Yemanja had been the sole guardian for Emelda and the two had bonded in deep ways over the past years. If there was anyone who knew what Yemanja was up to and what she was capable of- that person would be Emelda. But there was one thing that Emelda still struggled to get used to even after all the years she spent with her grandma and that was the ability to have her grandma cutting right to the chase.Yemanja wasn't the person who would beat around the bush or who struggled with words. She always went right to the point and even after all these years, that attitude from Yemanja still surprised Emelda.And it was the same surprise that took over Emelda the minute her grandmother asked her the direct question.But instead of answering the question, Emelda tried to avoid it. And the only way she knew how to avoid the question was to tell a lie.“Yes, grandma. That was why I left the palace. I couldn't stomach what w
The Twin Alpha's Curse Is that everything?
Emelda sat on a little stool in her grandma’s kitchen as Yemanja put on a pot of soup on the stove. There was an awkward silence growing between them and soon, Emelda found herself drawing little imaginary circles with her index finger all over her grandmother’s kitchen table.Yemanja had her back turned to Emelda but she could almost tell what was going on. The energy from Emelda was consuming and Yemanja didn't need to be an all-powerful witch to notice it.“What troubles you, my child?” Yemanja asked as she stirred her soup slowly with the wooden spatula in her hands.“Nothing!” Emelda shrugged and sighed at the same time.Slowly, Yemanja placed the spatula aside and turned to Emelda. She stared at her granddaughter keenly as she wiped her hands with the kitchen napkin.“Don't lie to me, child. You know we have been through a lot these past few months. I do not want there to be any secrets between us. Yo
The Twin Alpha's Curse Back Home
Yemanja was at the back of her house, tending to her garden when she heard a noise that resembled the sound of a carriage. Slowly, Yemanja placed her garden fork on the ground as she closed her eyes and listened closely. At first, she had thought the carriage was passing through her house but she soon realized she was wrong when the noise from the carriage stopped in front of her house.Gently, Yemanja pulled herself from the ground and dusted her dry hands on the front of her apron. She straightened her back and walked to the front of her small house, using the sidewalk.“Grandma.” Yemanja heard the excited voice before seeing who it was but she didn't need to see who the person was to realize that it was her granddaughter, Emelda.“Emelda,” Yemanja called her granddaughter’s name in the same excited tone as Emelda had called hers.Emelda came down from the carriage and ran to her grandmother’s side, throwing her s
The Twin Alpha's Curse Take me home
All the guests started to exit as well, starting from the royalties that were seated on the front rows, and soon, the hall which had been filled to the brim was suddenly empty.The crowd marched to the battle filled and Cyrus took a seat on the podium.There were five seats on the podium and Lucius helped Emelda to one of the seats as he and Darius took the next two seats beside her. There was only one seat left on the podium and Sir Sule joined them on the stage, seated close to his King and Alpha, Cyrus.“Bring in the traitors,” Cyrus commanded and the gates of the battlefield opened up.Six hefty men dragged in the traitors- Gedoni, Tobias, and Barroc. Holding each of them by their arms and aggressively they flung them on the floor, right there in front of the podium.Cyrus got up from his seat and took a few steps till he reached the edge of the podium.With utmost disgust, his eyes turned from one man to the other as the men loo
The Twin Alpha's Curse The ceremony
Minutes after Darius, Lucius, and Emelda entered the hall, the ceremony began with a short cleansing session performed by the chief priest.The hall was filled with royalties from all the nearby kingdoms who paid their allegiances to the Lakewood Kingdom. The presence of the kings, queens, princes, and princesses could not go unnoticed. Everyone felt the presence of the distinguished guests as they all took their seats ceremoniously.But more than the royalty, another group that stood out, even more, were the different werewolf packs that had turned up for the event. The hall was equally loaded with different Alphas to Betas and down to Omegas. Anyone who was considered as an important personality, werewolf, human, or witch, was present for the greatest ceremony of all time.It wasn't every time that king and Alpha got to take the throne a second time, it was a historic event. One that had never occurred before and anyone who had the privilege of getting an invite
The Twin Alpha's Curse Fashionably Late
Darius noticed Emelda and Lucius walking towards the door to the hall even before they saw him. It was a mere thirty seconds of watching them-her to be precise but that was enough time for Darius to take in every inch of Emelda’s beauty. She was beautiful and even more graceful as she walked towards the door to the hall where the ceremony was being held and Darius could very well see that the Palace life suited her perfectly. It seemed like she had been born for royalty and he couldn't help but appreciate her gratefulness.But then, he was reminded of the awkward position he was in with her by how his chest tightened and his breath almost seized. In an instant, Darius had gone from admiring her to feeling like his very essence was being choked out of him. It all happened so quickly and even though Darius hadn’t meant for it to happen, he found his eyes wandering towards her, and the next thing, their eyes were locked!Emelda on the other hand, locked eyes w
The Twin Alpha's Curse You know the law
“How did he try to fix it?” Emelda asked Lucius. patiently, Lucius explained how Darius had gone to the Silverlake kingdom in an attempt to get the antidote for her. Emelda listened patiently as he explained everything to her but still, the pain in her heart wouldn't go away. She wanted to let it go but was finding it difficult to do so. Her heart was heavy and by the time Lucius was done with an explanation of what occurred between Darius and the weird king, she had to tell him how she still felt. “I hear everything you're saying Lucius but it hasn't helped in easing the pain I feel,” she admitted. Lucius squeezed her hand in his, “time will tell Emelda. Time will heal your wounds. I don't want you to go around with a grudge in your heart, you can see how that affected your grandmother,” he cautioned. Emelda nodded because what Lucius said to her made absolute sense. Nursing a grudge could lead to dangerous emotions that could lead to drastic
The Twin Alpha's Curse What Darius has in store
The council of chiefs headed by sir Theo had now put together a ceremony that was supposed to reinstate Cyrus as the king and Alpha of the Lakewood kingdom and the Lakewood moon pack and the morning of the ceremony had arrived. Before then, the crew that had been sent to the Silver lake kingdom had successfully recovered the weird king and he was locked up in a cell in the basement alongside Gedoni and Tobias.The royal advisers had agreed to their execution and that was the hallmark of the ceremony.The three traitors were going to be executed by Cyrus after he got crowned as king again. But before the ceremony started, Emelda and Lucius were tucked away in Lucius’s bedroom.“what are you going to do after this?” Emelda asked him with hope in her eyes. A Lot had changed for Lucius ever since he became a wolf, he was a different person of some sort. He seemed more in control of himself and his mood had gotten better a hundred percent. Lucius was already a ha
The Twin Alpha's Curse What Next?
“What do you intend to do about it?” Adolf continued his conversation with Darius. Adolf could still remember the last time that Darius had admitted to having feelings for Emelda and it had been on their way to Silver lake kingdom while they had been searching for a cure. Adolf could still remember how Darius had been embarrassed by admitting to having feelings for his brother’s feelings and looking at Darius now, Adolf could not see any trace of embarrassment. Darius was serious about his feelings and Adolf could almost tell that Darius was going to do something about it. “I don’t know what I am going to do, Adolf. But the truth is that Emelda hates me. We had a fight the last time we spoke, that was before the battle for the throne. She had come to me with the hopes of convincing me to step away from the battle and I had turned her down.” “Hate is a strong word you know, I doubt if Emelda could hate anyone. Not even you,” Adolf encouraged. Darius sh
