Wycliffe Empire: The Conqueror's Mate Sentenced
“What does this all mean, Emyr? Why did you bring me here?” “Relax, m’lady,” he chuckled after he heard the nervousness in my tone, enjoying the taste of fear that was spreading inside the carriage. I can’t stop my body from trembling. My throat felt like I was being strangled by an invisible hand. I could barely breathe. My stomach tightens and my shoulders are so stiff. Beads of cold sweat ran down my face as I suppressed myself not doing anything stupid in front of the two werewolves in front of me, knowing there is no way I could escape from them alive even if I ran as fast as I could.“Just go on with the flow, Lady Eodelle… which you are supposed to do. Now, everything got complicated because you always think you are better than me,” Helena raised an eyebrow at me, her condescending look made me feel so small. She is like a dangerous animal ready to devour me any moment and I am nothing but a pathetic rabbit being cornered inside her den of despair.I couldn't do anything but

“AHHHH!!!”I screamed at the top of my lungs and Helena flinched away from me, shocked at what was happening. I can’t process where the pain comes from. It feels like every inch of me is aching. Especially my hips. It was just so excruciatingly painful that I had to stand up from my seat and prop my arms on the balustrade of the balcony, begging for someone to help me.“Help me, please! My baby!” I screamed but no one made a single step forward to see my condition. My eyes are getting blurry and I am in a deep panic. My whole body is already trembling in pain.“Get her inside,” Helena commanded the soldiers, and two of them pulled away from the balustrade to push me inside that building. I have no idea what kind of building it is but I saw that there are rooms inside. Helena led me and the soldiers inside until she finally stopped in one of the rooms and opened it.“Get her inside.”They dragged me inside the room and placed me on the bed. I can’t do anything but clench my teeth, supp

The rocking motions were the first thing I felt before I slowly opened my eyes. I couldn’t move any part of my body. I feel like I am being paralyzed from my neck down to the tip of my toes and my head is killing me—-as if someone knocked my head against a solid brick wall.My vision is so blurry. All I could see was darkness and the stars twinkling up in the sky. Then I heard the sound of the carriage slowly getting louder and louder into my ears and the warmth that kept me away from the cold was three blankets covering me from my neck to foot.I moaned in pain as I turned my head to my right.“Eodelle…”Tears fell down my eyes when I saw Aster’s face under the faint light of the moon. His eyes glistened as he leaned closer to me and kissed my forehead with his warm lips.“Aster,” I sobbed as soon as I recognized those gray eyes looking silver under the lunar light. I can feel the cold breeze against the bare skin of my cheeks as Aster caressed my hair while staring at my pale face.

[ASTER’S Point-of-View]“Aster!”I ignored it even if it was Laurent who yelled my name. I am preparing myself to return to Headow Stronghold with a bunch of Talaphatian Soldiers with me to make Helena think that I just came from the peace meeting just like I told her before I left the palace.“You don’t have to go back to that place! That’s suicide!” Despite walking with a stick after his fast recovery from all the horrible injuries he took from his attackers, Laurent still managed to find me at the back of the camp. I was a little surprised to see him walking already but even though I saw the worry in his eyes, he can’t stop me from going back, especially since Helena has my son."I have to, Laurent. In case I fail to come back, please take care of Eodelle and find my son… I will do my very best to save him from Emyr and Helena. If I ever die, promise me you will get him back to Eodelle…" I said to him and clenched my teeth as I prepared my horse for the journey, "You are the only

“Explain to me what you did, Helena! Why are you on my throne!” I snarled at her, glaring straight into her eyes.I can feel the weight of everyone’s stare at me while I wait for Helena to answer my question. I never thought something like this could happen…that she had completely lost her mind in just a matter of a week. But then I noticed something—in her belly. A small heartbeat I used to hear in her womb was now silent as dead. Is that mean…Helena raised an eyebrow at me, “What are you looking at, Aster? I gave birth to our child while you were gone and here he is! He looks so much like you…” she said the words with so much love that I have never heard from her lips for a very long time. She stared at my son with glittering eyes, adoring the baby.My eyes widened for seconds, realizing what was happening.“I don’t need you anymore, Aster. I already have everything I need,” Helena coldly uttered the words, her face returning to her usual condescending expression. Everyone looked

For two days I have been trying to stand up on my own feet, wishing the effect of the poison that was given to me by that healer would finally be gone. Despite my anger and my demand not to see her again, the healer still comes into my tent to give me an antidote from the poison for my fast recovery. She had been asking for forgiveness for what she did to me and what happened to me and my baby but I refused to talk to her, letting her guilt eat her inch by inch. Without my baby in my hands, I can’t find any sympathy to give her. My heart is just filled with revenge and a huge desire to have my child and Aster back. To save Nina and make Helena pay for everything she did to me and to the people important to me.I have been suffering from a high fever and with the level of dizziness I feel, I could barely get up from my bed. My body feels like I am inside an oven, slowly being cooked into ashes. I am sweating so badly that the maidservants in the camp had to replace my bedsheet thrice

[ASTER’s Point-of-View]Now I understand how terrifying it must be for Eodelle when I threw her into this very dungeon. Dark, cold, stinking… I am a monster for making her suffer the first night we met. What a tragic first meeting we had. I totally hate myself just thinking of it.I promised Eodelle I will bring our child back. But I failed. I underestimated Helena and I was overconfident that I could still have her trust. I never thought that while I was gone, she had lost our child. I should feel bad about it but what she did to Eodelle is beyond forgiveness.I heard someone sniffing not too far from my cell in the middle of my mooring. The voice was familiar to me as I listened to it carefully.“Nina?”The sniffing stopped.“Your Grace? Is that you? Why are you here?” she asked in shock. I don’t know what cell she was in but her voice was clear. She is careful enough not to make it echo inside the dungeon.“Long Story. But can you tell me what happened?”Nina was very detailed when

I have to make him believe I have the ability to rule the Kingdom just like a true Wycliffe does. I can feel the blood of my ancestors running through me as my inner wolf convinces me that I am not the same Eodelle who used to fear a lot of things. King Laurent and Lady Marian looked at me with their brows angled upward, worried that I might fail to convince the Northern King to join the alliance. King Laurent cannot guarantee that he can beat the Headow Stronghold after the Southern Kingdom already pledged its alliance with Helena and the Western side was still indecisive about it.“Eodelle, you don’t have to. We all know…” Laurent whispered to me as he stood on my left and Lady Marian on my right. They still have no idea that I have finally had my wolf. But to be honest, I am scared I won’t be able to control myself once I unleash and shift into my werewolf form. It will be my very first time and I am aware I will have to endure a hell of pain once the process of physical change ha

Wycliffe Empire: The Conqueror's Mate The End
“Aster no…”But I couldn’t stop him anymore.As fast as he could, I saw how he killed the palace soldiers one by one inside the Emperor’s Hall and saved Nina. But to his shock, he stopped in front of Lady Marian’s body which was lying on the marble floor, cold and unmoving. He stared at her for a bit with a solemn face like she was some kind of a sister for him and lifted her, and carried her towards me and Nina where she covered her lifeless body with a curtain he took from one of the walls with the insignia of the North Kingdom as one of the allied Kingdoms of the Empire.As soon as he came back to me and our baby, He held me tight once again and looked at the small child in my arms with his gentle eyes despite the agony he must be feeling all over his body. And then he glanced back at Lady Marian's body which made me sob as my heart broke into pieces for losing a great friend.“She is a good person, Eodelle… She helped me through a lot about you and Laurent. She never deserved thi
Wycliffe Empire: The Conqueror's Mate The Emperor's Last Stand
"MARIAN!!!"My whole body froze as I watched her kneel in front of the red guard who stabbed her. Her face turned dark before she fell to the ground, her body not moving anymore. My nose was filled with the scent of her blood as it wafted all over the place, giving me shudders all over my body. The hall turned silent as we all watched Lady Marian dead on the floor. I feel like my heart and soul were shattered into millions of pieces and it horrified me more when I could no longer hear my child's cry. He also turned silent as fear crawled all over me. "See what you have done, Eodelle... I told you not to fight me anymore. I may be a liar sometimes but you know what I can do when someone upsets me," Emyr sneered while I stood frozen, still in denial that Marian was already gone just like that.Tears fell from my eyes, "What do you want me to do then, Emyr? What do you want from me?!" I tried to contain the anger inside me as my throat ached while I sobbed. My whole body was trembling
Wycliffe Empire: The Conqueror's Mate Trapped
It is a call of desperation.I glared at Emyr. He knew from the start that he and Helena won't win this war. That is why he is trying to make some bargain to spare his and Helena's life. But there is no way I could let these two escape after what they did to my son...to Aster. I don't exactly know if he will do his side of the bargain though. But I am getting more desperate to see Aster once again and have my baby in my arms. I know I shouldn't trust Emyr with his poisonous words. I shouldn't let myself be deceived by his lies. But my child's life is more important to me."Show them to me first, Emyr! And then I'll decide!" I yelled at him with confidence in my voice. It is me he is pleading to and not the other way around. I should be the one who must ask for demands. "Sure! Just follow me!" He answered with a grin on his face which made me more suspicious. I know I should be more careful but knowing that I am finally going to have my son back takes all the fear in my head and jus
Wycliffe Empire: The Conqueror's Mate Negotiation
I immediately went to the officers who were leading a horse for her to use and then thanked them shortly after I put on some new set of clothes and before I hopped on the animal and galloped towards the Imperial City in a route not too familiar for me. I had to take it as per Lady Marian's advice so that no Red soldier wouldn't recognize me on that path where few people take it because it was a little farther than the main road.With gritted teeth, I made the horse run to its full speed. But I have other plans. I know Lady Marian is already waiting for me at the downtown alley where four Talaphatian soldiers are with her. I know she will surely get mad once she finds out I didn't go just as we planned. I have to go alone and never wanted to put my best friend's life in danger just like what I promised King Laurent. She will be safe with her guards.Through the woods, all I think about is Aster and our son. I will go to Headow Stronghold alone and face whatever will be waiting for me t
Wycliffe Empire: The Conqueror's Mate Battlefield
This is the day.I feel like my heart is in my throat. My heartbeat pains my ears as the throbbing goes harder, faster, making my hands tremble in fear as we all march towards the wide plain at the border of Northern Kingdom and the Imperial city.King Laurent didn’t allow Lady Marian to march with us. She is waiting for me at one of the darkest downtown alleys for the mission to save Aster, and my child. I can’t wait until this battle march is over. I can’t wait to see Aster again and our son. I pray Helena didn’t do anything to him. I pray he is safe inside the Headow Stronghold and being watched by my ancestors, keeping him safe.The sky is clear and the sun is gentle on my skin as I rode with the three Kings on my side. The North, West and Talaphatian King swore their loyalty to me and the future that I promised to them. The future that we all are seeking is free from greed, violence and self-interest that the Imperial council portrays just to make themselves more powerful and t
Wycliffe Empire: The Conqueror's Mate The Plan
The council meeting with the Northern Kingdom and the Western Kingdom was not good. There was tension between the two Kings and I can feel that even Laurent felt a little frustrated about it. King Anthony never liked the arrogance of the King of the West who was Katrina’s father. His grumpy face reminded me of my father and I can’t deny that each time he looks at me with his mouth curved downward and his eyes judging, piercing eyes penetrating through the stoic facade I have been practicing because I never wanted them to think I am scared of them.We are all in a place—a carved cave the northern men use as the council chamber. In the middle is the wide wooden table with the map of the continent carved into it with wooden pieces representing each Kingdom and the Headow Stronghold. King Lauren and Lady Marian never left my side even when we entered the chamber. King Anthony never wanted his little sister to join the war meeting with me but she insisted because she is also part of what
