All Chapters of Once In The Dust: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Christopher. As we drove into the gates of the Lycan kingdom, I felt giddy because I knew the drama that would ensue. A king presumed dead had returned, and he had found his heir. I wondered how Agnes and her co-conspirators would take it. The men looked at my Jeep funny, and I could not blame them; it had just survived the attack of the Bandit Clan. I hoped we could solve this matter once the Lycan king was back in power because Aaron was not doing an excellent job. I wasn't happy about everything because it meant I would get to spend less time with my wife, and we didn't have much of that left. It was frustrating. Someone came towards me, where I parked my Jeep, to lead me inside. It was clear I was no longer an ally because I would usually walk in without issue. I linked King Edward to cover his face with a hoody while he carried my wife, who was wrapped in a blanket. Carrying my sleeping wife would draw less attention to him than if I were carrying her and he was on his own.

Willow. I watched as they dragged the culprits out of the dining room. People were in fear, and Queen Agnes was shaking. "I swear, darling, I did not know that was what they were doing. I genuinely thought you had a brain disease," She said, wiping away her tears. Elder Ramos looked at my father with concern and then looked at me. "Thank you for saving his life, young lady. The Lycan kingdom is indebted to you. You have averted a horrible war that would have happened had he died. Thank you so much." He said, and I smiled at him. "It is an honour to serve my king," I said, and then the man nodded. "If I may, your Majesty, Alpha Christopher's Luna looks a lot like your mother. She has her eyes," Elder Ramos said. "Is that why you are so fond of her?" he asked, and my father began to laugh. "You are too nosy for your good, Ramos; I am glad you notice the similarities between her and my mother because that brings us to the next reason why I called this dinner," He said and touched

Christopher It was amazing to see how Edward took Willow's explanation. I was waiting for him to feel insulted, but he believed her. I knew if it weren't for the incident with the Bandit Clan that attacked, he would have doubted her sanity or felt we were spewing nonsense. It is all working together for good. I was worried when Elder Ramos told us why former Beta Gregory tried to kill his king. If indeed these people possessed such powers, their offer could seduce anyone. Their strength was growing, and soon, I could see Willow's vision coming true. I did not know how to solve this matter. As things were, Aaron wasn't helping the situation in our territory, and I felt that would be the first place the bandits would overrun. Lucien blocking off his territory might have been to protect his people, but the bandit clan was part of his problem as most of them were bears and not werewolves, as presumed. Could he be waging a silent war with the werewolves? It was odd that the clan co

Willow The player looked at me with pure rage in his eyes, and I was a bit scared. Instead of showing fear, I felt my lips curl into a smile. "I have made my move, Apate; it is time for you to make yours," I heard myself say in a voice that wasn't mine, and he looked at me darkly and angrily. "You are not allowed to cheat, Selene," he said with a female voice, and I shook my head. "Who said I was cheating? I am just doing what you have been doing. I just aided my champion." She replied, and I wondered what that meant. Apparently, I was seeing through Selene's eyes, and our opponent was Apate. "That was your essence, Selene. Killing my team with powers wasn't a part of the deal," He said and soon, the event that transpired when the rogues attacked us on our way to the Lycan kingdom played. I saw myself. I was a lycan white wolf with bright light emitting from me. It killed all the rogues that came in contact with the light. "What do you say for yourself?" Apate said, and Selene l

Christopher. Luis, Garret and Mark were a bit confused with my words, and I could understand their confusion, but it was time to tell them the truth. They had encountered shifters that were almost impossible to kill and immune to silver; they should believe me. What they had witnessed was an impossibility, and yet it had occurred. "Willow, meet me in my office," I linked my wife, and she did not respond. I knew I left her with unfinished words. "Willow," I said, and there was no response. I looked at Luis. "Have you told the pack members to assemble on the ground?" I asked him, and he nodded. "Still linking them as we speak," He said, and I nodded. "Please excuse me; I will meet you on the grounds. I just need to check on my wife," I said, and they agreed. I sped back towards my room. I was worried. I shouldn't have left things like that. I shouldn't have voiced my pain as I did, but I had to. I was desperate, and I wanted the goddess to help me so I could keep my wife. I w
