Chapter 1. Secret Artefact

Nightsword: Love And Ashes /Counia writes

Remilia's POV.I squatted silently as I listened to the tail end of a conversation that filled me with feelings of utmost betrayal. I remained motionless as Eryndor – Alpha Eryndor, also known as my lover – sold out his pack. He said his goodbyes to the rogue he was talking to and waited a few minutes more for the man to leave. The crunch of his feet on the dry leaves of the woods alerted me that he was about to leave, his act of treason complete. I stood just as silently as I had waited, and just when he was about to walk past the tree behind which I’d been hiding, I stepped into his path, my expression blank but with enough traces of anger left. The fleeting look of shock that crossed his face told me he now knew that I’d heard if not all, then a good part of his conversation with the rogue. He recovered quickly. “Remilia”, he said, “what brings you here?”I fixed my gaze on him. “What just happened, Eryndor?”“What do you mean, Darling?”The intensity of my glare increased. “You’v

Chapter 2: Traitor

Remilia's POV.Where did you get that?”, he growled. His voice overlapped with a deeper, hoarser one. That of his wolf. I settled into my stance against him. “It doesn’t matter, Eryndor. Stop what you’re doing now.” “Give it to me. Now.”I wasn’t scared to use it and I knew he could see that, but he came at me anyway. I should’ve been able to defend more easily, should have been able to match him more easily. But the truth was that my desire for truth held no candle to the evil desperation of a power hungry man. He moved with practiced speed and grace, dodging each one of my attacks and still managing to get in hits despite my having the superior – and only – weapon. I knew it was over when as the blade sliced across his face, he leaned in, instead of backing away. In a flash, a stunning blow cracked against my skull, blackening my vision and sending me slumping. My fingers loosened against NightSword and it clattered away from me. Eryndor’s eyes were dilated, his canines dripping

Chapter 3: The Hearing

Nightsword: Love And Ashes /Counia writes

Remilia's POVIt was out of the question. I couldn’t be seen with an ancient mythical weapon. I doubted it would help whatever case Eryndor brought before the Council. I was still contemplating my escape when approaching footsteps had me stiffening and moving away from the bars. Two guards conversed in low voices outside my cell and moments later, the same guard who had thrown me in appeared in front of the bars. I raised my head, shooting him a tear-streaked glare. He inserted a key into the lock and I shot up. “What’s happening?”, I demanded as the guards entered the cell and roughly pulled me to my feet. “Where are you taking me?”I let them pull me out of the cell with minimal resistance. “The Council had demanded your presence in the Alpha’s Hall”, one of them informed me gruffly.“What”, NightSword pulsed in my mind. “What?”, I asked loudly, trying to dig in my heels now. The guards simply pulled me harder and my feet slid against the ground uselessly. “That’s not possible! Th

Chapter 4: Truth Will Come Out.

Nightsword: Love And Ashes /Counia writes

Remilia's POV.I continued my statement despite the murmurs, I wasn't going to give in to his manipulation, although I knew there was a little I could do to change their minds. But I know one day, the truth will out.“Eryndor finalized things with the rogue and received payment in a form I don’t know about. When he was about to leave the scene, I confronted him and he attacked me after threats didn’t work. In defense of myself, I slashed at him with my knife and injured him. He called for the guards and got me arrested even though he was the one who attacked me first. This is my testimony, Council.”Immediately I was done, the room erupted in chaos. Shouts and yells as the Council members tried to talk over themselves and make their point known. As they argued, my eyes found Eryndor across the room and a slow smirk spread across his face. I forced my lips to mimic the motion even though it hurt. After what seemed like ages, Marcus’ hand shot out and grabbed a gavel that had gone unno

Chapter 5: Escape Plan

Nightsword: Love And Ashes /Counia writes

Remilia's POV. Eryndor stood before the cell, smiling at me with a glint of contempt in his eyes. He smiled gingerly, shaking his head and sighing. “Why did you choose this?” He asked. “I offered you friendship but you spat in my face,” he sighed.“Rather the world burns down around me than I accept to be friends with one who would betray his own people, are you not even ashamed of one bit of yourself?” I demanded from him. I felt betrayed but it wasn't because he turned against me, I already sensed that a long time ago. I felt betrayed because I thought he was at least a man of character but as it would turn out, he was just like any other greedy bastard! I felt glad at the moment though that I didn't allow my children to grow up in his presence. They would have been corrupted by these habits of self centeredness and greed. I still glared at him as he began to speak. “Misery, misery, misery, that is all you have chosen for yourself, an eternity of suffering. I offered you a chance

Escape (ii)

Nightsword: Love And Ashes /Counia writes

Chapter 6Remilia's POV.My heart pounded as I sprinted through the forest, my feet pounding against the damp earth. The moon cast shadows, brightening the path for my frantic escape, which I was immensely grateful for.I had to put as much distance between herself and Nightborne Pack's territory as possible.The memory of Eryndor's snarling face still haunted me. His eyes, once filled with warmth and admiration, now burned with hatred and ambition. How could I have been so foolish not to notice his annoying attitude? I always knew he was jealous but never imagined that he was going to take it this far. It wasn't my fault in any way that I was a genius. I had tried to numb my intelligence so that it didn't rub off wrongly on him, but guess who ended up with the shorter end of the stick? Me. I shuddered internally recalling the night he had taken control, ousting me as alpha. The pain was too much for me to handle but I guess I was foolish enough not to understand.I even went on to
