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
HUGH'S POV“Well alright,” Edgar replied.“What about her?” Simiyan asked. She looked genuinely confused.“She knows things about that world, but she isn’t a Lycan,” I explained.“That’s impossible!” she replied.“It’s also true! She didn’t die when she touched these devices, and she managed to remove the invisibility placed on supernatural blood as she put it,” I elaborated.“Impossible!” she whispered to herself.“Why are you so convinced that it’s not possible?” I asked in confusion.“It’s nothing! Let’s go to your ex-wife. I have somewhere else I need to be,” she instead said. I knew not to press the situation.“What about me?” Claude asked her.“You should prepare to leave for home. I’ll meet you on the other side when I’m done with Hugh,” she replied before walking out of the room.“She’s one hell of a woman,” Edgar commented.“You’re telling me,” I concurred as I followed her out. I found her waiting in my office. She was trying on my military jacket.“Feeling comfortable?” I t
CLAYTON’S POV“There’s some activity occurring at the Northern border,” Brantley informed me before showing me the screen.“Hold on! Isn’t that the same person who left all those years ago? The Queen’s Royal Guard?” I asked. Everyone in the room shuffled to find the footage I was talking about.“I can’t believe we missed it. What do we do now?” Thane asked.“We bring him in. He might have answers for us,” I replied before leaving the room.“Bro, is your mate still chained?” Dove giggled.I smirked. “Yep!”She shook her head. “That’s so evil.”“She’ll learn not to mess with my favourite pants,” I shrugged as I walked towards my cave.You can imagine my surprise when I got there to find Azalea sitting at my chair, eating an apple, while Titus was the one who was now trapped in the contraption. She looked pretty chuffed and sent me a sultry wink upon my entry.“How the hell did you do it?” I asked curiously.“You forgot that she’s been trained in weaponry,” Titus rolled his eyes.He didn
CLAYTON'S POVOur mate was out and about before we could even blink. She has to be the fastest Lycan, and that’s a lot coming from me. She’s faster than Beast and I, but we both know that we still overpower her strength wise.But we’re not stupid enough to not know that we wouldn’t be this strong without her in any case.“Can’t keep up?” Azalea linked.“Nah! Just letting you shine,” I chuckled in response.“That’s not fair,” she replied. I could imagine her pouting.“I want you to have fun love,” I told her.“I’m faster than you, aren’t I?” she asked knowingly.“No,” I mumbled.“Oh my goodness! I actually beat you at something!” she giggled.I sighed. “Haha! Gloat all you want.”“Aaaaw, you’re too cute! I still love you my slow poke,” she teased.“I’m going to the lake,” I informed her before taking off in that direction. I could hear her following me.“I’ve been here before,” she informed once we got there.“Really?” I asked. It was news to me.“Yeah, but not physically. I was here i
