30: Father's Vow

Kailani knelt in the temple, praying, when she picked up Edward's scent, which wasn't far away. She paused in her prayer, and her eyes fluttered to find Edward standing beside her. He dropped to his knees and closed his eyes, and they both faced the altar without saying a word.She didn't know what to make of his appearance, and the question lingered. Still, he looked genuine with his prayers, so she said nothing in the first few minutes."What are you doing?" she finally spoke up when he became silent after a while."Praying.""Why are you doing it now when I'm here?""Because I want to be beside you, always." He replied.His lashes fluttered, and his blue eyes settled on hers.She turned from him to face the altar. "I spoke to the midwife." She began in a small voice. "They said we would have to wait a few months if we hoped to rid my body of it."He became silent, and his silence was the last thing she wanted right now. She turned to him with a frown and said, "You are going to sta

31: Enemy's Surprise

Foth“I brought you along because you promised nothing but pleasure,” Damien told the two female pleasers he had brought along on his voyage. “If you fail to do your duties, I will have no choice but to throw you into the dungeons.” He told them with no trace of humour in his voice.Panic flashed in the eyes of the two maidens, and they stayed quiet. “I have conquered five of the nine kingdoms, and in no time, the rest three will be mine. I know what I want, and if you do not do what I want, I have no use for you. Do you understand?” He raised a brow at them.They nodded. “Yes, Your Majesty.”He smiled and said, “Good.” He approached the maiden with red hair, kissed her lips, and pulled the other with blonde hair closer to himself.“Now, what are your names?” he asked.“I am Seyran,” the maiden with blonde hair told him.“I am Monique.” The red-haired maiden answered.He kissed Seyran’s lips before smiling. “Such lovely names for lovely ladies.” His hand moved up to cup Monique’s bre

32: Reality and delusion

While everyone returned home to be with their families and loved ones, Koz visited the tavern; he had never done it before. He was told drinking didn’t take away the problem, but it made one forget about it for a while. So, he wanted to give it a try. After the first cup, he knew this wasn’t what he needed, so he rose to his feet and returned home, which was now a shell of its former self.The light shone in the hallway, but Alpha Koz only saw darkness as he walked through. He had gotten so much satisfaction from watching the ship burn, but just like the king said, revenge would not bring back what he had lost. Going on the mission and being a part of the team that burnt the ship didn’t make him feel any better.It also didn’t take away his pain and sorrow. The hole in his heart remained, and there was no filling it, no matter how long he tried. The joy at his revenge only lasted for a while, but left even before they reached shore.He felt the same. Elena would never come back, and i

33: Desire

Mia returned home from the journey to the institute. Xavier and she should have made the journey, but in his condition, it was best she did it alone. The progress made in the last week was more than they expected. The warrior institute had increased as Shelled; the eastern region had taken a stand with them and sent their men and maiden.Xavier told her that the carer gave him three weeks at most. He also told her it was because of his mission; he knew of the risk but wanted to take the chance since he might not see the war.She felt angry for a while, but she understood that this sickness was going to kill him in the end; the least he could do was live. That meant he couldn’t do anything reckless again. The carers visited almost every day to check up on him while she took on the role of seeing through everything. They also constructed a roller (a rolling chair) for Xavier, which he now sat on and moved around in. This way, he didn’t depend solely on his legs. He used it in the past w

34: Plans To Win

Xavier and Mia lay in bed, and though Xavier drifted to sleep after they ended their session earlier, Mia stayed up. She couldn’t sleep. Her mind wandered. What they just had felt so amazing, and she didn’t want it to end. Knowing that she would lose that soon didn’t seem fair.She had not even thought about the idea of him leaving. A part of her knew she wouldn’t make it without him—to rule as queen and raise their sons. It would be too much for her. She didn’t tell him that, though; she didn’t want to let him down.She knew he was hurting every day at the thought of his inevitable fate. He didn’t want to leave her to fight this war alone, but things were out of his control already.She didn’t think she would be saying her goodbyes to him so soon, either. She saw them growing old together, but fate was a cruel bitch. A part of her also held on to the faith that this was just like the trials they had faced since their matrimonial rites. First, with siring children, then being sold off

35: Last plans

At Xavier's instruction, the best of the king's squad gathered, and Sir Aira explained their mission to them. Their job was simple: they would attack Ville, Foth's capital and seat of power, and render the elders powerless in only a few hours. Once they established that, Sir Aira would stay and rule with the king's instructions until the war was over. Ace also knew about Foth; he knew almost every region and corner of the kingdom, from Ville to Dome. He lived there most of his life, so he could find his way even if he were blindfolded. He was an advantage to the mission.Ace thought it was a great plan of attack and promised to deliver Foth to the king and queen. Edward also chose to go along with them, increasing their advantage. When Xavier asked if he told Kailani about his decision, he said he did, and she supported it. There was nothing else to say; he wished them all the best, and the twenty-five brave soldiers took their leave.They took a few hours longer than expected, but th

36: Truth and reality

Just like Xavier promised his brother, he marched to the north of the capital, where Koz lived, as soon as Edward departed for Jade. The north of the capital was a few hours away from the palace in the carriage, and Xavier took a few guards for protection.He didn’t think he needed any protection, but he received advice against leaving the palace alone, especially in his condition.Adhering to the advice, he took five of the king’s men and headed out. The queen left for the farmers’ institute to tour the warehouses, their capacity, and their protection. In times of war, the enemy would attack food; taking out food would be a way to weaken a kingdom.He didn’t bother to tell her about his visitation to Alpha Koz’s house because he knew she would want to come along. She already had enough to worry about as it was. He could handle this despite his condition. His movement was discrete because many people didn’t know the king was gravely sick, and they intended to keep it that way.The car

37: King and Queen

“You know, when the alpha king left Jade six months ago, I knew something was off with him. His face was paler than ever, but he was still strong, and so I thought a little of it,” Lycan King Aeon Diamandis said as he and Edward walked through the garden.“Fate plays cruel cards on all of us sometimes.”Aeon nodded in agreement with his words. “How is his Luna holding up?” he asked.“Queen Mia is a brave queen; she has not allowed this to hold her down; she does her royal duties while filling in for her husband where the need arises.”He chuckled a little. “It reminds me of my queen, Olivia. I think our mates are the bravest side of us.”To that, Edward agreed. “You are right.”He knew the Lycan king’s story and how his mate helped him break his curse, which would have taken control of him on his twenty-seventh birthday and driven him mad with rage. The moon goddess chose her to rid the curse, and it was a story that went far back a few years ago, and until this moment, many still sin

38: A Brother's love

Ace walked into the palace, surprised to see it crowded with people—nobles of all races and classes. He didn’t think he would meet this many people today, and he wondered if he should return to Wahala and come back tomorrow. Then he remembered that King Xavier’s instructions were to stay in Klean until his mission was accomplished.He took hold of a guard’s arm, making him stop as he asked, “What is going on today?”The guard’s eyes narrowed at him, as if asking what he was doing here if he didn’t know what was going on. Ace didn’t have the answer, nor was he willing to let him go until he said, “It is the late king’s remembrance week; we wrap up the week with a feast on the last day.”Then he remembered that it had been two years since the former king, Ferdinand Ono, died. They had received news about King Ferdinand’s sudden death, and Simone ruled it a natural cause in his letter to King Xavier.Ace released his hand, chuckling a little. “Oh, thank you. For a moment, I forgot.”The

39: Pain of the inevitable

“You are thinking.” It was not a question; it was an observation that was correct.Xavier turned to Mia with a smile on his pale face and said, “Yeah, counting down the days to the war. It is hard to count when I know I won’t be here.” He replied bitterly.She reached out and stroked his face slowly. “Do not think about that, Xavier. Think about us and now, and think about everything you set up to ensure victory for your people.”His hand came up to her hand on his face, and he took hold of it. Slowly, he squeezed down on it and said, “I do not want to leave you, Mia. I never planned to leave you this quick.”His words broke her heart, but she had to remain strong for him, herself, and the boys.She smiled and said, “I know, and I do not want you to leave either.”“Can we stay in bed for a while longer?” He asked with his brow arched in the form of a plea.She turned from him and stared at the ceiling. “Yes, we can.”He brought her hand to his lips and placed a kiss on it. “Thank you.
