Hurai( Seventeen)Hurai was barely done getting ready for the day when her sister busted into her room to pull her out of it.“Today’s our birthday and I got permission for us to go to town,” she said, not giving Hurai space to reject her.The moment she stepped out wearing a floral orange gown walking beside her sister who wore a flaming red one, Allen met her in front of her door.In minutes, she and her sister had entered a carriage and left the palace, with Allen and Lozia, her sister’s knight along with two maids.“At this point, you might as well tell me where we are going and when we’ll be back,” Hurai said as the carriage rolled on at high speeds that told her that her sister had a very important destination in mind.“What? Is there something else you'd rather do in the forest?” Fera asked her a question instead of answering her own, with a sly expression on her face.”Of…of course not,” Hurai explained, trying to defend herself only to hear Fera scoff at her in disbelief.“Eve
Today had been a particularly hectic day for him.He was twenty-two and unlike before, he now had many more princely responsibilities than before.It also meant that people including his private guards seemed to enjoy sticking to him harder than glue with the excuse of protecting him from harm. The same excuse his father, the king used to try to monitor every one of his movements. Still, with the artifact in his hands, it was almost impossible for anyone to see him, which was why he was now racing through the forest with lightning speed, with hopes that Hurai hadn’t been waiting long for him.It was already afternoon and the sun was up in the sky, and unlike other times when he was the one who usually waited for her, he couldn’t help but feel a little dissatisfied at being late.Karl had been to the forest enough times to be familiar with it. So even as he ran at full speed in the direction of his usual spot with Hurai, it was easy for him to notice that something was wrong the close
Hurai( Twenty)Three years went by in the blink of an eye for Hurai. Apart from having some responsibilities to fulfill in the palace, accompanying her sister to town, and lounging in the garden, nothing really bothered her, except the fact that she would be twenty-one in the coming year, and meet her wolf, possibly her mate. However, as much as she didn’t like it, thoughts of Kal flashed into her mind and she quickly did all she could to wipe them off.It was bad enough that she had heard the news three years ago, of the border patrol wolves finding a high-ranking vampire knight in the forest close to the palace garden who General Ploradi had fought head to head with and injured before he lost his left arm.Thankfully, she was glad that the huge event had thrown them off Kal’s scent completely which meant that he would have had enough time to sneak away.The main reason why she decided to stay away from the forest completely right after going back for the last time was to make sure
At that moment, Hurai felt like Kal said something but was trying to communicate something entirely different to her. But no matter how much she tried to figure out what it was she couldn’t.Still, that didn’t in any way stop the red blush that rushed to her cheeks from Kal standing a breath away from her, close enough to steal her first kiss.One she felt she was supposed to have with her mate, the moment her wolf matured and made itself known.“Kal…” Hurai spoke calling out his name not knowing what else to do, since pushing him away didn’t work and pressing herself into the tree wasn’t an option.“Please…if I’m late in getting back to the palace I’m going to get in trouble. I’m sure you also need to get back,” Hurai told him becoming increasingly anxious and worried about how much time she had spent in the forest.“Fine…” Kal sighed in a very low and miserable tone which he used as he continued to speak, taking one step back to show how genuine he was being.“Since this is our last
Dinner was silent.Apart from a few instances of both sides staring at each other the Vampire King also brought some of his councilmen along with him.With the vampires not particularly touching their food since they mostly enjoyed human blood even werewolf and witch blood depending on what flavor they craved at that particular moment.King Horansi no longer had any appetite for more, so he announced the end of dinner, before informing King Locan about the Grand hall where they would be discussing the reason he asked them to meet.“Okay…My two sons will be coming with me,” King Locan replied, satisfied to see the werewolf king nod in response to what he told him.“My son Darun would also be joining us,” King Horansi said with a smile on his face, gesturing at Darun who sat right beside him.Fera’s face was a blank canvas but Hurai was confident that she was boiling inside.But unlike werewolves who somehow upheld the alpha, beta, and luna rules, the vampires didn’t which was something
Sitting in the Grand hall were two sides facing each other, each group on one side of the hall.On the left side was the Werewolf race, consisting of King Horansi, Darun, his son sat on his left and three of the closest council members sat on the king’s right side.On the right side of the hall was King Locan, sitting directly opposite King Horansi. To his left sat Geran with Kal sitting on his right. The two Council members they brought along sat beside Kal, as the guards stood attentively behind each of them.Kal had been paying extra attention to every member of Hurai’s family he had met since he was introduced to them. Fera, her twin sister was easy to understand and might even be easy to manipulate but her brother Darun was the hardest person to figure out.He barely said anything while his father spoke but he could tell that he was listening with rapt attention to every word.“Is he smart or is he just acting smart?” Kal wondered, throwing a quick look to his left, where his brot
It was evening by the time Kal was shown to his room. The vicious stares he got from every side and direction were completely different from the looks of worship and adoration he got back in his kingdom.Still, he didn’t seem to mind it.“I’m here to get the job done, nothing more…” he thought to himself, getting back on his feet, out of the chair he sat in the moment he entered his room, already turning the door handle to leave only to suddenly pause with a confused expression on his face.He had thoughts of heading straight for Hurai’s room but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that doing so was a bad idea.He had no excuse to be seen close to her room and it didn’t help that he was a visitor and also a vampire.He continued to stand in front of his door, doing nothing more but stare at it when he unexpectedly heard a loud knock on it.He was still wondering who it was when the door swung open and a tall, muscular man with various minute scars on his arms entered Kal’s r
Hurai had been in her room when she heard a heavy knock on her door only to discover that she had been summoned by the king.Not dragging her feet at all, she got to the throne room five minutes later, slightly surprised to see her sister already standing there in front of their father the king.King Horansi, sat comfortably on the throne with a relaxed expression on his face as he looked down at his two daughters standing just beneath the stairs that led to his throne.Apart from his daughters, and the various guards around the throne room, everyone else had been sent out including the council members who usually insisted on clinging to the king all day long.Seeing as it was already late in the evening, King Horansi had no issues ending the session for the day, in order to have a few minutes left with his daughters before he had to return to his room.“Careena is going to be mad at me,” he thought to himself gesturing Hurai and Fera closer to him and to the seats on either side of hi
"As long as she's still breathing she'll be fine," Lozia said but Hurai simply shook her head, doing her best to stop the tears that had pooled in her eyes from sliding out and down her cheeks."She is dying." Hurai thought, knowing enough to know that her injuries were too severe for her to live with no doctor in sight.*******************The Alliance Ball.The ball had been publicized for weeks and the venue was set for the huge palace in the valley forest.Everyone was invited and the hall was peacefully divided into three, one for each Kingdom.**************On the far left- The Kingdom of Lunera."Who has ever heard of a female king? Women are Luna's and they've always been,""That's not the worst. I heard that she wasn't even the one that killed the former king, her father,""What's worse is the fact that Our King felt the need to collude with our long enemies the vampires, in this sham of an alliance,""That's not even why I came. I came because I heard that the prince is stil
Just because he could no longer transform in the meantime, didn't mean he was completely helpless, even though being in wolf form was more advantageous."Talking about killing me right to my face," Horansi fiercely glared at them all as he spoke."Then you should all continue the conversation in the afterlife,"The moment Horansi was done talking and no longer saw any reason to continue, he gripped his sword as hard as he could and he attacked.Without hesitating or showing a trace of fear on his face. He picked up one of the two swords on the ground and Instantly moved toward Horansi as he attacked.Hurai was still pissed off at Allen's actions of hurting Fera, but she was also thankful for his presence. Without him, both of them would surely have been dead.As quickly as she could, Hurai dressed up Fera's wounds by merely wrapping a piece of cloth around her wounds, which was the best she could do for her at that moment."We can't allow Allen to kill the King," Fera whispered into Hu
Yes, her wolf was almost as big as her father's own but he also had way more experience than her in fighting in wolf form.Hurai also didn't just stay at the side watching the fight, the moment she saw Horansi attack, and the fact that Fera was immediately in danger, she instantly ran to help.Still, Hurai's presence didn't make much of a difference as he easily overpowered the two of them, biting and clawing at them both until their furs were covered in blood.He would have surely continued if he didn't suddenly notice that something was off, which was why he suddenly backed off.Fera’s wolf was a mess. Hurai was also slightly injured, but Fera got the brunt of it.Horansi couldn't outright communicate in his wolf form using words but when he growled at them as loudly as he could with a vicious sneer, Fera knew he already noticed what she had used on him."Wolf's bane," Horansi thought, getting more furious with each second that passed, as he felt his connection to his wolf slightly w
Yes, he was there to kill them but that didn't mean that he had the intention of killing them instantly since he realized that there was no benefit in keeping them alive, but hearing what Fera called him, he saw red and had the urge to end her life that very moment."You're a coward…" Fera instantly continued completely ignoring the expression of rage on Horsnsi's face to say all she could before he could close enough to unleash the full extent of the murderous aura he was already releasing around him."You call yourself king and you need to bring this many knights along just to capture two women…" Fera yelled loud enough for the knights to hear even as Hurai who stood beside her with Mayory still on her back, began to wonder what she was up to."The only meaning is that you're scared that you're not strong enough to do it yourself," She had only finished talking when she watched King Horansi jump off his horse the next second with an expression of rage on his face wine that instantly
Kal expression instantly changed to a largely pissed-off one, as he finally realized what the burning spin he felt in his shoulder meant.Losing his arm wasn't a big deal and he felt that as long as he drank enough blood, he would be able to regrow it, only to find out that because of Locan's actions he would never be able to.Still deeply angered in his heart, but with a mildly calm expression on his face, Kal slowly walked forward coming to a stop right in front of Locan, gripping Locan's sword in his hand."Don't worry, I'm sure…" Locan began talking, but even before he was halfway done, Kal moved his hand, slashing his head cleanly off his neck in one big movement, watching him plop heavily the ground as his blood littered the floor.The silence in the room was palpable. Geran would have made one of his many jokes, but he knew that the atmosphere wasn't right for it, especially since the king just died, and the new king, was truly going to be a one-armed one.Geran could only sigh
"Clang…" their swords met again and Kal couldn't help but grit his teeth in pain and alarm, shocked and trying to comprehend where King Locsn got the strength he had suddenly used on him."You look surprised," King Locan said with a big smirk on his face as he instantly attacked Kal with the same strength as the one he used before, not surprised to see Kal barely defend it as his sword arm got a deep dash for his incompetence.Watching on the sidelines, even Geran was shocked since he couldn't understand what was suddenly happening to Kal, who suddenly seemed much weaker than King Locan compared to before."Swish…swish…slash," Blood splintered out of the gaping hole in Kal's left arm where it was supposed to be, with King Locan making a show of wiping his face that had been coated with elven blood on his sword with relish."I'm going to enjoy watching you die," Locan said to Kal with a big smile on his face, digging his hands into his shirt and bringing out the necklace underneath it,
At that point, he couldn't help it, as he opened his mouth to call out Kal's name without even bothering to defend himself.If he was going to die, then they might as well do it together, German thought.But he had only just opened his mouth to call out when he suddenly felt King Locan come to a stop in front of him, watching as a red substance slowly dripped down his head as he struggled to wipe it off."WH…WHAT'S THIS?" King Locan yelled in anger shocked at the stickiness of whatever was on his face, only managing to wipe off enough of the burning substance from his face in a way that wouldn't obstruct his vision as he quickly looked around to see his attacker, confident that Geran who he had been on the verge of killing couldn't have been the one by attacking him in such a manner."WHO IS IT?" He yelled at the top of his voice prepared to transform at any moment to finish with the new attacker and Geran who stood in front of him with a smug expression on his face."COME OUT!" He yel
A few seconds of silence passed by, when King Locan finally noticed Geran's strange manner of not responding to any of what he said."What's…." He opened his mouth to speak, while lifting his head up from what he had been staring at on the table when he suddenly saw a dagger flying straight at him, aimed at his head."That counts as an attack right," Geran thought to himself, even as he watched King Locan fly into a rage the next moment.He pushed his table aside, and grabbed his sword beside him with lightning speed as he glared heavily at Geran with eyes that showed their intention to kill."You attacked me…" King Locan stated in a calm and reserved manner, one Geran was sure was simply a mask for the boiling anger he currently felt as he slid his sword out of its sheathe.Geran said nothing and simply counted down the seconds to when Kal was supposed to appear, even as he gripped his sword tightly in his arm, while giving King Locan his entire attention, knowing that a simple mistak
"I don't believe it. It's impossible to get. They rarely show themselves. It would take years before…." "I already got some…" Kal replied chuckling a little at the exaggerated expression on Geran'd face when he spoke."How? How much of your soul did you have to sell to get it? You know it has to belong to at least a high elf right and they hide like their lives depend on it," Geran said to Kal, even as he continued to stare at him with a disbelieving expression on his face."Show me…""Really?" Kal asked with both his eyebrows raised, clearly surprised at Geran's requests especially since the elven blood was deadly to vampires even on sight."At least tell me how you got it," Geran said with a clearly dissatisfied expression on his face."Let's just say that the kingdom of Elfina has a slight Elven trouble," Kal instantly replied, before making it known that he no longer wanted to discuss it, as he went ahead to move the topic of discussion somewhere else."We need to do it as soon as
