Serenda’s Pov. I bid farewell to the helpful stream as we made our way into the Lycan territory. The land before me felt so familiar and welcoming, indeed there was no doubt I was home. The longer we walked through the creepier I felt. I could feel peering eyes on us but none has shown up so far. Not even a soul. Houses could be spotted from a distance with the magnificent lycan castle shimmering in crystals settled at the center. Folklore says the lycans are the wealthiest of all beings, they are not only blessed with unique strength but their lands are the most fertile and fourth bringing in the realm. Now I understood it was no folklore. It was indeed the truth. The finest of flowers bloomed here with great strength and spirituality. ‘’I don't know if it's because I am paranoid, but my wolf and I think we are being watched.’’’ Mark voiced out. Yes, I had the same feelings. The land of Lycans is supposed to be the most protected, considering they were wolves would make their sce
Serenda’s Pov. “‘Welcome home child, we are happy the time for you to return to us has arrived. I am Elder MorganPotwell, I am head of the elders, and this by my side is Elder Fern Roxwell and apprentice Laurana Oyan, you must have met her first?’’ ‘’Yes we have, she helped us with a doctor to treat my companions’’ I so much wanted to address him as my mate, but stopped at the last minute. ‘’That's good. Rooms would be prepared for you friends while they will be judged before the council owns the other regains himself, you princess, your chamber is ready and everyone here is at your service, we are pleased to have you back with us’’ elder Morgan replied. ‘’Will my room be closer to Alpha Mckenny Goldon’s?”’ I couldn't help but ask, I wanted to take care of him, no female was going to trace their hands over the body of my man. ‘’Not Princess, they would be out of the castle, we can't have wolves live with you when we don't trust them with your security’’ Elder Fern frowned. His di
Mckenny’s Pov. I woke up with a doubling headache. The room looked so unfamiliar. Mark was sleeping like a baby, from the luxury of the room, I could guess we were presently in the Lycan castle. ‘’What happened?’’ I asked Kenny, but it took him rather too much time to reply. ‘’I am weak, I don't know.’’ his words were slurring and I could feel him drifting away. ‘’Kenny… Kenny, what's wrong?’’ I panicked. My wolf was not in the best of shape. I tried forcing a shift but it wouldn't, Kenny was too weak to shift. ‘’What is happening to you?’’ I could feel my voice breaking as I tried not to cry. A wolf or part of a werewolf is an entire identity, losing it is like losing one's other half. Panic rushed through me as the thought of losing Kenny surfaced in my mind. ‘’We can't lose you, Kenny, you have to fight this, come buddy you can do it”’ the more I poured in words of encouragement, I could feel my wolf holding up to the last line of life hanging on tight not to leave me al
Alpha Mckenny Golden. Your life and journey ahead falls on the part you chose and only then will you discover your full potential”’ she walks away in the same direction Kenny had a few minutes ago. ‘’Wait… please how do I get through this?’’ I called out to her, and she gave me the most beautiful smile. For a while, she looked so much like Emery, but it was only a thought. There was no way my baby sister would be in such a place. ‘’Learn to let go, and not grab on too tight. Always remember Mother will always be with you”’ she turned and I saw it. But just as quick as she turned she was gone. It was my mother, I was not wrong when I thought she looked like my baby sister. I couldn't take it anymore, I felt so dejected. Knowing I was soon going to be awake to face the reality of my predicament, I just lay low. Not letting random thoughts occupy my mind, just staring and waiting to be conscious. I couldn't sleep, this was not my world and sleep was not something done in such a plac
Seranda’s Pov. I woke up the next morning very energetic. The omegas were already in my room cleaning. They were so quiet, I barely heard a sound. ‘’Good morning princess’’ they all greeted. ‘’Good morning’’ Despite lashing out at them yesterday, they were more polite this morning. There was so much to be done, first I had to get to the elders and try to get some answers on the witches’ bloodline without giving out the fact that my mate was a wizard. ‘’May I come in?’’ a voice asked from the door. It was a Laurana, unlike yesterday which she was dressed in a plain gown, today she was dressed like someone heading for horseback riding. ‘’Sure do, what brings you to my chambers so early this morning minister Laurana?’’ I could not help but ask. Ever since my arrival I have been getting nothing but hits from every direction. Comfortability was a feeling my wolf and I couldn't seem to get close to Minister Laurana as much as we tried. ‘’Today you will be meeting the other elders in t
‘’You are not allowed to meet with them before the court ceremony. Princess, I will say this for maybe it will be the first and the last time you hear it in clearer words. The werewolf would never last here, he may be your mate but he will never be king. We both know you can't forfeit the throne and letting him go will be good for you and him. Holding on to someone as little as him will only drag you down with him and keep you distracted from what lies ahead.’’ I was pissed but I dare not say another word. Something within me agreed with that but Sera was quick to erase such thoughts. ‘’We are stronger with our mate Seranda. Do not give in to them or I will never forgive you’’ Her words hurt me, but deep down I could see the time was coming rather too quickly when I would have to make the worst choice of my life. Choosing between my mate and the world. We both knew what my answer would be, but we were rather too scared to voice it. I stared in the room unable to see Mckenny and he w
Seranda’s Pov. I've never been this scared in my life. Walking with the elders everyone bowed to me as they greeted me. ‘’Your grace…. Hello princess”’ some would say. ‘’How do you do princess?’’ some asked. ‘’Welcome home princess”’ I've never felt so part of a place aside from the pack of Mckenny as I feel with the lycans. Every word they said made me feel more at home and welcomed. ‘’You should never forget the words of the chambers of mirrors. “‘ Elder Fern reminded me before we stepped into the court hall. As expected, it was already filled with lycans, some taking the form of their fur half. There was no way I could be convinced otherwise they weren't doing it on purpose to scare Mark and Mckenny, but knowing who Mckenny Golden is there is no way some little lycans like them would scare him but I could not say the same for Mark. ‘’what if they are not fit, what if they are not allowed to join us?’’ I asked Laurana who was rather too close to me than the elders. ‘’It will
I needed all the concentration I could get. I watched as Mark and Mckenny were led into the hall by 4 guards, they were all in fur claws all out ready to fight. ‘’Laurana what is the meaning of this?’’ this was not running, she had asked for guards to accompany them not stand by them like they were just waiting for the go-ahead to start a fight. ‘’He is dangerous and it wasn't my orders but that of the elders. If his powers can bring me to my feet then it is better to have him on close watch we never can tell’’ I watched as they were led to their seats at the center as every eye was on them. The hall of judgment was that which was rather built in a round shape, while the ones to be judged sat at the center right before the eyes of a thousand staring at them from every angle, back, front sidewards. No matter how much I stared at him he did not take a glance at me. I know he could feel I was staring, he was my mate and unlike others, we did share a special bond. ‘’Just one glance,
Unknown Pov. It's been a week since the massive death that swept across the land of Limfieya. Friends and loved ones came from far and near to mourn with them, but like everything, it came to an end. Chimere sits in the prince’s room opposite hers gently rocking the baby to sleep. He has been nothing but a good boy. She felt he understood the situation. Chimere sings for him as he drifts off to sleep. Evera, the newly appointed lady in waiting for Chimere and caretaker of the baby walks in calmly trying hard not to wake the sleeping baby. “What?” Chimere asked not to take her eyes off the baby. “the elders…. they want to see you” Evera announced, squatting down and taking the baby off her mistress’s hands. “I will take care of him,” she assures Chimere, who places a soft kiss on his forehead before walking off. The castle has not been the same without everyone. the rooms were suddenly so empty for her liking, her parent's room was locked and she dared not go in. Chimere walks to
Unknown Pov. Everything they had accomplished came flashing. from the time they first met, to the times they had to stay away from each other. a sad smile crept on Seranda’s face at the thought of their daughter. Chimere will have to stay alone, she will have to move on to be the very best leader the people could ever ask for. Seranda could only watch her mate wallow in pain and heartache as his life slipped away from his grip. She painfully crawled towards him, taking his hands in hers. “I am here” was all she mouthed before another mouthful of blood came coughing its way out. her life was gradually falling away and there was nothing she could do. Laurana lay on the side of Ciranda waiting for death to come, her mate was dead and Seranda knew just how painful it felt because she was watching hers severely right before her with no words. Mckenny couldn't open his bloodshot eyes, the pain was too much to handle. every part of him was threatened like melting lava, he could feel hi
Unknown Pov. Chimere stood by the railing, her eyes not peeling off from the direction of her parents. The elders kept bringing up ideas but she could not bring herself to stay focused with them. Time was ticking rather slowly and no matter how many times she looked, the soldiers were still on standby which was a thing of relief but also the worst possible anxiety. Chimere has tried every other way to get out to the hold of the Elders to no avail. Elder Morgan was rather joyous over her decision to ride on and meet her parents but Elder Fern wasn't in support. He couldn't bring himself to watch the old heir to the throne ride on to her possible death. “We can't go after them,” elder Fern kept repeating. The castle was on lockdown. The death of his daughter had been all he needed to know what path to be on. Morgan has always been selfish and deep down he could see the friend in him was long gone and lost.“Let the princess go, her presence could change so much for us,” Elder Morga
Unknown pov. Mckenny and Greggory led the men while Seranda was stationed behind them. Mckenny couldn't afford to have his mate take the first arrow. Cirenda stood alone, waiting on them. This was weird. “Caution,” Mckenny’s voice echoes. Ciranda has always been the type to play sneaky behind their backs and he was not going to walk into a well-thought-out plan. Mckenny took the lead with Seranda while Greg waited with their men. Mckenny took his human form holding tight to the hands of his mate. “Let me talk to him... I don't know what I am hoping for but I pray to the goddess he listens” Mckenny nodded, giving her hand a little squeak. “Whatever outcome, you will always have me” The couple walks up closer to the man standing in black like a funeral processor. his eyes carried no sense of feeling, he was rather so fragile than the last time they had met, Seranda could not bring herself to not worry. Cirenda had his head on the ground casually kicking rocks like they were kids a
Unknown Pov. Laurana couldn't bring herself to sleep, not when the night was old and weary. The cold breeze blows through her skin, making her body shiver in discomfort. Tonight was different from every other night, she could feel the rumbling danger suspended on the horizon, and she could feel the pain held from within. “Can you hear me?” she asked, staring at the dazzling moon, her eyes filled with unspoken words and emotions. He was close yet so far. her hands graze over her baby bump. “I do not know what the future holds for us.. but I am certain you will live a great life and be well loved.” her silent prayers for the wellbeing of her baby and his big cousin went straight into the listening ears of the smiling moon. The first wolwl of the morning came from a distance but it did not bring peace to her soul. Laurana watched the dark give way to light on her balcony over a glass of water and some sweets. “Laura..” a voice came from outside. she could tell it was the Queen even
Unknown Pov. Laurana held on tight to her baby bump. She would rather be banished than have to tell who the father of her baby was. “I can” Laurana speaks up, her voice barely audible. Chimere could feel her pain, her fears were the same. “What right do they have to ask such questions huh? I am the mother and only I decide who gets to know about the lineage of my baby and who not to tell. don't overstep your boundary” “We do not take that away from you Laurana” Elder Morgan replied. “For the safety of the land and everyone, is it only right that you tell us who the father of your baby is? we can't have another abomination waiting to happen when it could have been avoided before birth?” Laurana couldn't hold back her laugh. her hand caressing her baby protectively. This was out of love, she would do anything to have him again and even if she is on her deathbed she would change nothing of their encounters. “an abomination?” Laurana scoffs. “My child who has not seen the world is
Unknown Pov. It's been a day since they returned on their short trip to Central Crown Pack, Chimere knocks on the door of Laurana panic written all over her face. There was not only a riot outside the castle but everyone was shouting and demanding Nana's very surprising head. Laurana sighs as the omega opens the door letting in a panicked Chimere. “Nana” her voice broke into a sob. Laurana had long expected this day would come but never had she thought it would be this soon. “come here” Laurana beacons to her which she obliged without hesitation. “Look outside” In front of the view of Laurana’s window, the crowd was ten times more massive than what she had seen. Chimere glances over to the omega and then her nana. She could not understand why Larauna was so calm despite all the odds against her. “what will happen now?” Chimere asks. “I don't know, but I am certain you will be a good big sister to someone,” Laurana smiles, placing Chimera's hand over her baby bump. Chimere could
Unknown Pov.The girls went around, taking turns helping to fill up the cars with supplies. Seranda and Emery just watched them interact without saying a word to each other. The hurt burning in Iris' eyes couldn't go unnoticed while Chimere wore a beautiful smile ready to start her day on a joyful note.“done” Chimere dusted her hands smiling at herself. She felt satisfied with the work of her hands. “girls..” Seranda called making Iris and Chimere simultaneously turn towards her.“I want you two to cooperate and help the children. we all expect you back before dust. we have to head home before the break of dawn the coming day and I won't have you sleeping all through the way Chimere” Iris turns to Chimere who just smiles.“Come” Seranda opens her hands, making Chimere run into them without hesitation.“I know you will do just fine. take this as your first and official visit to the Pack as princess of Limfieya. get to know the people and interact with them both as princesses and as fr
Unknown Pov.Iris walks up to her father pulling out a seat for herself with her eyes never leaving his. “Hey,” Alpha Mark says to the surprise of his daughter who just stares at him, not sure how to react to his gentle gesture.“I'm sorry,” he said, almost throwing Iris off her seat. She had not been expecting him to be out straight with her, not to talk of him apologizing.“Daddy” Iris' voice comes out like a whisper. she could not hold back her tears as they came streaming down her face crowding her vision.“I thought you didn't love me anymore,” she says trying hard to wipe away her tears with the back of her palms with a snob running its way down her nostrils.“I will never stop loving you Iris, how can I stop loving my daughter?” Iris sniffs.“But mother doesn't love me. She loves Chimere more. I know she would have been happy if I were the one to have a deaf wolf and not Chimere and even the baby loves her and not me” Iris laments.Deep down she was aware she wanted no baby sib
