All Chapters of The Rise of The Wereheretic : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

“I know what you are thinking. But, it was your father who begged me to let you go. I never forced you.”I lowered my gaze, “I had my own reasons for volunteering. I will never hold it against you.”He raised his eyebrow, “I wonder what that reason was?”“M..my mother was killed by the wereheretic. So, I wanted to avenge her death.”Something flashed in his eyes, “Ayame was killed by the wereheretic? How do I not know anything about this?”“Did you know my mother?”“Not really. I just heard about her from your father.”This was a surprising piece of news for me. I never knew that my father was close to The Lycan King. It was rare to get an opportunity to even talk to the king. The way he spoke about my mother ga

Upon returning to the packhouse, I was pleasantly surprised to find Corel in my bedroom. She all but threw herself at me, grabbing my hair and kissing me passionately, “Do you have any idea how cruel you are?” She said, laying her head against my chest. “It’s been almost a month since you met me.” Her eyes brimmed with tears, “If I hadn’t come here today, you would have not even bothered to meet me, would you?” “Today?” She pulled away and looked at me with teary eyes, “So, you don’t even remember?” A sigh escaped her lips and she wiped off her tears. “Never mind then; Go back to hunting your wereheretic.” My gaze fell on the calendar. Damn! It was the twelfth of April. I ran up to her and pulled her inside. I made her sit on the bed and knelt in front of her, “I am sorry, Corel. I didn’t mean to forget your birthday. It is just that….” “Your head is so filled with that bitch that there is no place for anyone else; not even your mate!” Her voice shook

“Now that it has come to this, I will just give up.” Two days had passed since Hera was captured but her final words kept playing in my head like a loop.Hera was going to be executed publicly five days later. I had finally avenged my mother’s death. Justice was finally going to be served but something didn’t feel right. I was drowning in this weird sensation that something was amiss.My eyes landed on the new robes sent by the Lycan King. I should have left for the celebratory feast an hour ago. I just couldn’t.Drawing in a deep breath, I made my way to the infirmary to check on my father. My steps faltered near the door hearing the hushed voices.“Has Justin left?”“I think so.” Corel’s familiar voice sounded.A smile spread on my lips and I p

I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. The one who had tried to kill my mother was still roaming free while the one who had saved my mother was behind the bars. She was going to be executed because of me.I felt like I was in some sort of a crazy game sequence. I was made to believe one thing and given a task. Once the purpose was achieved. I was told, Ding! Your belief is false. Then, I was given another belief with a new task.I wasn’t going to let people mess with my head anymore. I would investigate everything secretly. I would peel away all layers of pretense until the truth emerged; bright and clear. But, to do that I needed time.“I am here to meet the Lycan King,” I said, showing him the jade token. It was given to me by the Lycan King as a reward for completing my task. I could move freely within the palace with that token.The guard bowed and let me inside. If I told the Lycan King that I wanted to meet Hera, he would pro

The sweet aroma of cinnamon rolls drifted to my nose, pulling me out of my sleep. I threw off my sheets and rushed down the stairs to the kitchen.“One minute, fifty-eight seconds,” Emma said, looking at her pocket watch. Her lips curved in a sweet smile. “You have beaten your own record.”“Mom, it is not my fault that you make such tantalizing rolls,” I replied, picking up a cinnamon roll from the tray. I hissed as the heat scalded my fingers.“Careful! How many times have I told you not to be so impatient?” She shook her head as she placed the tray on the cabinet and handed me a plate. I bit my lower lip as I placed the roll on the plate; my eyes drifting to the assortment still lying on the tray.Emma laughed and added a few more rolls to my plate. “Happy?”“Very,” I managed to mutter, stuffing a piece into my mouth. A sharp tap on my head made me wince. I spun around to find Daniel standing behind me; his expression something between laugher and annoyance.“You know the rolls won
