Linda's povMorning came and as promised, Aurora sneaked into my prison cell. " Ready? " She asked and I nodded. Muttering a few words, I was freed from the chains making my eyes widen in surprise. " How did you do that? " I asked and she smiled. "The cuffs are something my family created so I can control them, " She replied, shrugging her shoulders. She then casted a spell on herself, looking exactly like me. Looking at her, I could hardly tell the difference, even her scent matched mine. " Go now! You can't waste more time. " She urged me. Nodding, I turned around and left. I found myself Following the path like I knew the place and ended up Aurora's room. Sitting on her bed, I prayed to the goddess to let her see the end of the day. My skin felt dirty from all the days I had stayed without a bath. Stripping, I headed to the bathroom.I washed away the dirt and the grime that had collected itself on my skin.After I finished, I stepped out of the bathroom feeling refresh
Alex povWe set off after Linda's mother and I had a little chat.While I was away, I instructed Fiona to take charge of the kingdom and if something happens to me, she would take over as the Next lycan king.As for Linda, she would chose whether to stick around or leave the kingdom and continue with her life.I know she loves her profesion so I did the only thing I thought was good for her, setting her free.With me gone, i don't think she will be comfortable living with the lycans. Not like my people won't accept her, it's just that staying back would only give her pain." We still need you, she needs you. " Leo mindlinked me as we approached the prison where the battle would be held.I smiled, albeit bitterlyI didn't want this for myself, for my kingdom and most especially for my mate but some things are inevitable.This battle will only end with my death.I nodded at him.Leo looked away. I could see the pain in his eyes yet he remained strong." Change of plans. Your mate will t
Linda's povThe fight between Rosabella and I was getting intense. She was like a cornered beast, fighting it's way for freedom.Her attacks were ferocious and unforgiving, not giving me time to breath as she unleashed her full force upon me. One thing I realised, her magic wss weak, meaning her witch side Wasn't that strong. She was relying on her vampire and lycan powers to fight."I don't want to do this Rosabella" I told her as I tried to disarm her without hurting her. "You should have thought about that before you betrayed your people and join that man to cause ruckus. Rosabella sneered. " And you think you are Qualified to tell me what and what not to do? " I shook my head. At this point, she could already tell that she was clearly not strong enough to rival me yet she was insisting on fighting to the death? " Even if you don't care about yourself, at least think about your son. He is young and needs you. He needs a mother to care and love him. " I said in an attempt to c
The more Lucian ranted the more I pitied him. Pathetic right? But as a child, he didn't deserve to be treated that way. Just like he said, I was raised in wealth but what more was I offered. Just like him, I was a caged bird, caged by the walls and rules of the kingdom yet what I went through as a child didn't influence what I am now. " That's no excuse to harm innocent people. " I started calmly.I could feel my body burning, no, scorching would be the perfect explanation. The heat was so much that I just wanted to claw at my skin. " Innocent people? " Lucian sneered. " How innocent could they be? Thanks to those so-called innocent people, I was branded dangerous, a traitor. And that stupid fortune teller, claiming that I would bring downfall to the whole land. Her useless words added to that pathetic man's hatred towards me and I was kicked away in the middle of the night, just like the dirty secret I was in his hands. Now, I just want to fulfil her words, bring the world under
Crawling to her, I shifted back to my human form. Clutching her into my arms, I watched as she took her last breath. Turning to look at Alex, he was slowly drawing closer to the claws of death. Letting out a loud growl, something snapped inside me and I felt a sudden rush of adrenaline rushing through me as something crawled under my skin. It was sweet, dark, eerie and sadistic.A sense of dread overtook me as a new power surged in my veins, burning and searing my flesh as it rushed to the surface. A shining beam of light surrounded me as I felt a strange coldness settling deep in the marrows of my bones then I exploded, letting everything go. The ground underneath me started to quake, the air inside the four walls turned thick, my skin felt as if it was on fire, but instead of burning me it felt like it was peeling off.Groans and grunts filled the room, a sudden tsunami surrounding me, lifting me up and driving in circles. Beams of pure light hit the enemy, a single blow sendin
The sickening scent of blood filled the air. Dead and battered bodies littered the ground. They are not bodies of random people. On the contrary, the bodies belong to all familiar faces; my family, my friends, and my pack members.The sound of wails, groans and grunts took over the once peaceful land.Tears streamed down my cheeks as the horrific view made my stomach churn.Cries of help travelled to my ears but apart from the dead bodies on the ground,no life could be spotted." This is all your fault!" A creepy voice whispered in my ears and I shook my head frantically.My fault? How could that be?" You could have saved them, but you chose yourself. All their deaths are on you. Their blood will haunt you to insanity!" Then the voice burst out laughing.Dark. Sinister. That would be the perfect explanation of how the laughter sounded.It emanated from the depths of hell, perhaps from the grim reaper himself.A sudden change of scene had me smiling.There he was. Alive. He was still b
I take a deep breath, smiling to myself. Finally! Finally, I am back to the place that holds my most beautiful memories but also my painful ones.For five years, I have dreaded coming back here. What was I afraid of? I certainly don't know but one thing is for sure,I don't see myself running away again." Running away won't solve your problems. The earlier you face them, the better." Those were the good-bye words my professor and mentor told me when I broke the news about going home to him.Leaving behind my glorious days back at the human world wasn't that easy but it was a decision I knew I was bound to make.I needed this, for my sanity and my family which loves me with everything they've got." Linda? Is that you?" A familiar voice called, making me stiffen before balling my fists.Turning around, albeit reluctantly, I plastered a fake smile on my face. Over the years, I have learnt something very important; masking my true feelings with a smile.' Smile until it passes or kills
Alex POV" It's been centuries of searching,your highness, I think it's about time you chose a mate and a Queen for this Kingdom." One elder suggested and I watched as the old foxes all nodded in agreement.I hate to sit down and listen to such stupid nonsense about choosing a mate." My decision still remains." I replied calmly and with authority." Everything is going on well, the kingdom doesn't need a queen." I added, my eyes regarding each and every member of my council.They looked away, not in the least confident to look me in the face.Choose a mate? Impossible." The kingdom might be prosperous but what's the need without an heir to inherit the position?" Lord Stephano asked and I had to applaud his confidence for challenging me so openly!" He is right. Nobody knows what tomorrow holds and with the vampires…"" Shut up!" I slammed my hands heavily on the table, my anger flaring up.The mere sound of those blood suckers makes my sanity slowly dissipate!I was about to lash at
