Chapter 51

Mia's POVMy heart beat wildly as Lycidas ran across the vine. Though I couldn't see Mason, I knew he must have already reached the tree and was probably making his way down. He was way too good at rope walking to fall. On the contrary, it was I and Lycidas I feared for. It had only been seconds till I jumped on him, but I now realized what a stupid decision it had been. I didn't know how good he was. We could fall down here and that would be the end of us. A very ridiculous death for two people apparently prophesied to be the savior from the evil clutches of the Silver Hands, even if I still didn't know how the hell Lycidas got it into his head that he was the one prophesied about. "Hey, slow down," I whispered in his ears. The next instant, wind whipped past my ears as his speed instantly increased. I had to stifle a scream. I don't know why he did it, but if it was for mischief, I wasn't about to give him the satisfaction of knowing he scared me no matter how hard my heart beat

Chapter 52

Mia's POVI snatched up the veil from the ground and prayed no one had ever described Mia to him. Even in the heat of battle, the possibility of him being my mate still worried me. Especially if he had corruption in him. I made a mental note to ask Mabel about this mate business. I didn't know much about soulmates, not even how they recognise each other. "Your eyes!" I gasped when my face was securely behind the veil. Lycidas shrugged and held up his palms. "Don't worry, it's still me. I'm not Corrupted," he said. I scoffed. "Your eyes say otherwise," Without waiting for his response, I turned and started walking back to my tree. He caught up and walked alongside me. "You know, I don't really know what I did to court your ire," he said. I ignored him and swung myself on to the tree. Sighing, he took his place on the tree opposite mine. A while later, Mason rushed past us again on his way to draw more people into the ambush.Silence lingered between us as we perched on the bran

Chapter 53

Mia's POVMabel looked around at all the corpses lying around the battle site and sighed. "We have to leave the cottage," she said. "Why?" Mason and I asked at the same time. "Because, this place is going to be smelling like hell in a few days time," Lycidas said with an air of overbearing patience, his chest puffed out. I scoffed and turned to Mabel who was smiling slightly. "No. A wave of Corrupted comes in the afternoon and a wave of normal humans comes later at night, that tells you our little lair has been discovered," Mabel said. I cast Lycidas a mocking sidelong glance. "Don't be too fast with your mouth," I told him. "But yes, this place is going to be stinking in a few days time," Mabel added. "Unless we can clear all these corpses. But like I said, we don't have enough time. They will probably send more in the morning if they have got more men in the pack. Otherwise, they would send more in a few days time when they've gotten reinforcement from their headquarters," Ly

Chapter 54

Mia's POVWe decided that Mason and Mabel were the best suited. Maya was Mason's mate, and Mabel knew the way. According to Mabel, the tunnel system was like a maze and it was easy to get lost. Besides that, we also needed to pack out all the necessary things from the cottage to give the illusion that we ran away. There was a cavern that would hold them till it was safe enough for us to return to the cottage. After they left, a heavy silence descended on the chamber. The tension was very palpable and so thick a claw could probably slice through it. For some reason, I suddenly felt uncomfortable with Lycidas and avoided looking at him. The silence stretched on and finally, I could not endure it any longer. I just had to look. When I did, I found out he was staring at me quietly in…I had expected amusement, but what I saw instead was confusion. And it knocked the air out of me. "Do you hate me?" he asked quietly. "Yes, I do," I gritted out. "Why?" he asked, bewildered. "We have n

Chapter 55

Amelia's POV"All these blood…smells delicious," he whispered in my ears, his tone almost reverential. Through the pains clouding my eyes, I saw him look at the pool of blood around me again. His expression quickly soured. "But it's a bit much," he called out to one of the other guards. "Get me some bandage and hemostatic," he said. "I'm not allowing her to bleed out yet." Turning to me, he smiled. "You denied me, didn't you? And see you now, all mine to do with as I pleased," 'Please, keep talking,' I said in my head. 'Please! The pain is too much!' Thankfully, he did. "You know, I was just outside the door when Luna accused you of treason. I could have saved you from the alpha king's wrath….thanks," he said, stretching out his hands to collect the hemostatic and bandage. "Know why I didn't come to your rescue then? Alpha Hazel trusts me. He would have believed me if I vouched for you. Know why I didn't?" 'Keep him talking.'' That was all I could think of. I shook my head at hi

Chapter 56

Hazel's POV I paced around the room. Selena was still awake. I was trying to figure out a way to defeat these packs I planned to wage war on. They were way bigger than me, so my father would have called my decision unwise. But they also had resources I didn't have, resources that would make me stronger. I knew what the Silver Hands does, though they think I don't know. But I don't mind being Corrupted myself, I craved the power that came with it, in fact. But it was the pains and the insanity, and the everlasting life of being fought and despised that worried me. I couldn't accept that life. If corruption would give me unnatural powers and longevity, I wanted to enjoy both in relative ease and peace. The Silver Hands are not really making any progress on how to remove the insanity of the Corrupted, so I had to make my own way. Taking a deep sigh, I put on some decent clothes and walked out of the room. Two flights of stairs brought me to my secret lab at the top of the castle. I

Chapter 57

Hazel's POVI stare at the empty cell in shock, thinking that it couldn't be possible. This would be the second time someone was escaping from my cells, and they were supposed to be the most secure place in the city.That didn't go down too well with me, not one bit. I couldn't let this continue, or I would become a joke among other alphas. It had already been very embarrassing when Xavier escaped my cell on my Luna Declaration Ceremony day, and some alphas never stopped teasing me for it till I was forced to wage war on their pack and conquer them.I had never been able to find out how Xavier managed to do it. I don't believe the guard was lying when he said he knew nothing about it. He couldn't lie with the way I tortured him.But how had she done it?The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. That was my authority being undermined. Fury coursing through me, I turned away from the cell and marched up to the normal level of the castle.I knew one thing: it was impossible to esca

Chapter 58

Mia's POVI glared at Lycidas across the cave, same as he was doing to me. "Can we get on with it?" I growled. It has been two days since the invasion, but our tempers with each other were still running as high as ever, not diminishing in the least. If anything, it had only gotten worse, so much so that even Mason had commented. And Mason doesn't comment on a lot of things.We hadn't talked to each other since then, grunting and pointing and glaring when we needed to communicate. Though it was never spoken, it had been a challenge. One each of us was determined to win, even if it meant never ever talking to each other again. And I just lost. Lycidas: one pointMe: zero"Would you just speak? Or you want Mabel to come back here and find out we haven't done anything?" His lips stretched in a triumphant smile, but he remained silent, just glaring at me. Something in me snapped and before I knew what I was doing, I was already across the cave and holding his throat. The next second,

Chapter 59

Mia's POV "Okay…so, who's going first?" he asked me. "Me…no, wait. You go first. I want to see how you fight without claws and stuff," I replied. I was very fascinated to see how he fought. How I fought was basically by being on the alert and thinking on my feet all the time. I had to spot the enemy before they spotted me, then figure out which of the many traps and divide and conquer strategies Maya taught me to use. Of course, there was always the good old running when I didn't spot them on time, and the stealth to successfully escape, hide myself and pick them off one by one using guerrilla tactics. And if I had my wooden claws, I could take on a wolf on my own too using the superior nimbleness Maya had forced me to cultivate. But as I said, all these depended on being able to think on your feet, which I didn't think the numbskull could do. So, I wanted to see if I could learn his easily, and then I could add one more point to myself on our scoreboard. And that would be som

Chapter 60

Mia's POVI gradually became aware I was flat on my back and my head throbbed like hell. I opened my eyes, and even the light of the candle hurt. I shut them tight again, then opened it slowly once more to let them get used to the light. "Bastard!" I spat out. "Is that a level up or level down from numbskull?" Lycidas asked from the shadows. "Numbskulled bastard! What do you think it is now?" I retorted savagely. He only laughed. "You've been out for ten minutes and I'm already bored from looking after you. Catch up when you can get up!" he said. Immediately after, I heard his footsteps walking out of the training cave, accompanied by the sound of metal being dragged along the floor. That must be the sword. Mentally, I adjusted the scoreboard.Lycidas: two pointsMe: zero pointsShit! I had to do something about that. I couldn't let him have one over me, much less two! But the fact was, he had whooped me so thoroughly with the sword and his strange fighting techniques that accomp
