AZALEA'S POV“Azalea! Are you ok?” his voice came through. It was weird hearing him in my head, and my heart actually fluttered.Stupid organ!“I don’t know about being ok, but I’m alive,” I replied.“Where are you? Do you know?” he asked.“I’m at the castle. I’m with your sister right now,” I informed.“Dove? Ok, so that means you’re safe for now! Are you hurt?” he further questioned.“Emotionally or physically?” I countered.“Emotionally?” he asked, the confusion lacing his tone.“Oh you know, because physically I have a bullet wound and all. But, emotionally, oh boy am I hurt and pissed off at you!” I replied.“At me? What did I do?” he asked, again, the confusion clear.“Where do I even begin? You marked me in a club and then you left me. I could’ve died Clayton, but you clearly didn’t care. And then after that, even after we arrived, you still stay with Harper, knowing that we are mates. Before you even ask, no, I didn’t know that we are mates until Dove pointed out that I have y
AZALEA'S POV“I’d prefer the latter, but something tells me you’re against that,” he noted.“Not so much against it as I’m concerned about you. They are your parents after all Clay,” I pointed out.“As much as I love that you’re concerned about me, Ginny and Carlton were never parents to me. Bentley and Bennett’s parents were better parents to all of us than our actual parents,” he replied.“And what about them? I heard they’re the Grand Betas right now. Should we win this battle, what happens to them?” I asked.“That should honestly be up to their children to decide. I don’t believe that they are acting willingly, so if it were up to me, I’d say that they shouldn’t be punished,” he suggested.He’s going to make a great king.“I guess we’ll cross that bridge when we get there,” I suggested.“We will. Have you left the room yet?” he asked.“No! I’ve been here with Dove, but I did manage to get the bullet out of my back,” I replied.“What kind of bullet was it?” he checked.“It was very
DOVE’S POVI watched my brother pace while he waited for the kettle to finish up so that he could make a cup of tea for his mate. It had been three weeks since she’d passed out, and she’d only gotten up minutes ago. I knew that he felt guilty, but I felt guiltier.“I’m sorry Clay,” I said for the millionth time.He sighed. “I don’t blame you Dove. You did what you had to. If anything, this is my fault. Had I just accepted her as my mate from the beginning, then she wouldn’t have been taken in the first place.”“What do you mean accepted her from the beginning?” I asked. This was the first I was hearing about this.“I denied that she was my mate from the moment I met her, but I marked her in a club and then disappeared,” he replied.I scowled in confusion. “You did what?”Surely my brother wouldn’t be so stupid and cruel.“And when she got here, even with my mark on her, I denied her. I cheated on her right in front of her, and then I ignored her and scared her off with my beast. I don
AZALEA'S POVInstead of answering him, I put the tea cup down. He watched me in confusion as I prodded my eyes. The contacts were sore, and I could only imagine that it was because I had them on for so long, but I managed to pull them out anyway. I looked down and blinked a few times before looking back at him. When I did, he froze.“You have King Aragon’s eyes,” he whispered.“That’s because he’s my father,” I replied.“Impossible,” he blinked.“I’m sitting before you aren’t I?” I pointed out.“But how?” he frowned.I sighed and told him my entire life story. Just like Thane, he was thoroughly entertained the whole way, and his facial expressions were comical, but I told my story without laughing at him. By the time I was done, he looked like he had a million questions to ask.“Ask away,” I told him.“How did you cross the barrier?”“Simiyan.”“What are those things?”“In the Nomad World, they’re called contact lenses. They are for people who can’t see, but would prefer to not wear s
CLAYTON’S POVI wasn’t expecting any of it!I’d had a million suspicions and theories about my mate’s eyes, but what she ended up revealing, knocked me for six. While she truly believes in me, I can’t bring myself to believe that I could one day be King.When I started The Rebelution, I didn’t do it with the intentions of one day being King. I just wanted to get back at my parents and dethrone them. The throne does not belong to them, and to now learn that it will one day belong to me was just overwhelming.I love Azalea, without a doubt, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to rule beside her.“Why do you doubt yourself so much?” Beast asked me. It had been a while since he’d spoken to me.“What do I have to offer as King? Hell, my mate is the Princess and I don’t even feel worthy enough to be her mate. How am I supposed to turn around and feel worthy to rule her kingdom?” I asked.“That’s what I do not understand. You are worthy Clayton, despite what you believe. As for our mate, she ha
AZALEA’S POV“I swear to all things good Clayton I will kick your ass!” I glared at my mate.He grinned. “You’d have to catch me first, and let’s be real. You’re pretty slow.”“You’re such an asshole!” I screamed in frustration.“I’m the asshole who has the power to set you free right now, so I would be gentler with my words,” he patronized.“Ag!” I tugged on the thing but it wouldn’t bloody move!So, here we were back in the cave which he apparently fixed (considering the big hole I blew in it and all). To be honest, I don’t even know how the hell I ended up in this position. One minute I was running away from him after having bleached his favourite pants, and now I’m attached to a pole with no way out.He bloody trapped me with one of the fancy devices this place has, and apparently the device is strong enough to hold a werewolf, except him and Beast of course. Titus is yet to come up with a device that can hold them.My point is, I’m in a position I do not want to be in!“Please fr
HUGH’S POV“Hugh, the results are back,” Edgar announced as he walked into my office.“And?” I asked.“And you were right! The three of them match, though Cyrus and Shay, more than Pixie. Pixie’s blood has a different characteristic that is also not known to our research,” he informed.We had taken Cyrus’ blood before he left, and Pixie suggested we get their blood tested and compared. When we told her that it wouldn’t test, she and Liza took the blood and did something to it that they insisted wouldn’t change the composition of the blood, and would only remove the ‘invisibility’ characteristic to it.“So, Pixie can crossover?” I asked.“Pretty much, though we already knew that,” he replied.“I know, but it’s always safer to confirm some things, or at least those things that we can,” I pointed out.“I know what you mean bud. When do you think she’ll crossover?” he asked.“She said something about having to wait for the right time, so whenever that is essentially,” I replied.“Alright!
HUGH'S POV“You know about him too?” he asked in surprise.“Liza and Hogan,” I replied, to which he nodded.“Well, the prophecy bit makes sense, but we cannot overlook the fact that she was lured back in there by either her father or someone on the opposing team,” he pointed out.“What about Simiyan? Liza and Hogan seem to believe that she’s responsible for leading her back,” I informed.“That’s not possible. Simiyan may help her on the other side, but she wouldn’t be able to lure her back,” he argued.“Why not?” Edgar asked.“Simiyan cannot handle technology. While she and Simoa are powerful witches, they can only handle natural things. Naturally, these devices would’ve been unstable and caused an instant explosion if they were brought over by one of them. So, with that being said, they can only have been brought over by someone who could neutralize them,” Claude explained.“I don’t understand! The devices are made of metals which are natural right?” Edgar asked.“Not quite! Once the
