HUDSONAFTER THE WAR.The war had ended. Bodies scattered around an evidence of history made.“So what now?” I asked, turning towards Mikhail as he looked over at the horizon. We may have won this, but they were still elders who were loyal to Kane and his mission.For most of the world, the news of Mikhail’s death had travelled fast, we were ghosts, hiding in daylight.Mikhail smiled, a dark evil smile as he turned towards me, “We let them bask in their victory, while we plan to take down the rest of the Alphas that had joined Kane,” he said.“That would mean…”“We will return to the pack when we have eliminated the threats from outside,” he said, cutting me off.Xavier groaned, holding his chest, still suffering from the pain of the poison, “War heroes but can’t return home,” he rasped.Mikhail always had a plan, but right now, I was stuck in the darkness. Leaving the pack without a leader was only going to create more chaos.“Isn’t it risky to keep the kingdom in the hands of the sa
LANDONI smelled her.But it wasn’t her usual soothing scent. This had a tang of metallic blood hit to it.She was injured.The door creaked open, I slowly raised my head, my eyes hard in anger as I took in the sight before me.Aurora walked in, her lips swollen and split open, her eyelids swollen shut.Someone dared to place their hand on her. The thought alone caused my blood to boil, “Who did this?” I hissed, my veins surging with rage.She fidgeted, shuffling on her feet trying to hide the limp.“I am fine,” she said, her voice hoarse, probably from how loud she had been screaming.“Aurora, you have to tell me who did this, or I am going to burn this building down,” I threatened.She stiffened clearly frightened by my harsh tone. I wasn’t mad at her, I wanted her to know that, but I was having a hard time trying to understand the fact that some low life who was just a second away from dying had touched her.“Please eat your food,” she said in a monotone, her voice lacking the usua
MIKHAIL’S POVBlair stood her eyes black. Gone was the sweet witch I knew.“She is gone,” Hudson muttered, pointing to the battlefield. More undead were rising.“Blair, you have to stop, we have gotten back control,” I called out.She barely flinched.“Promise me to drive a sword through my black heart,” her words echoed through my head.I couldn’t do that.They had to be another way.“Mikhail we have to get out of here,” Hudson said, pointing to the number of undead that were about to surround us.“Not without her,” I growled, picking up my sword as I moved towards her.They rushed, flanking around her like shields, trying to block me from getting to her.“Blair, can you hear me?” I growled, cutting through the group and trying to get to her.I hissed, feeling as their bones slashed across my skin.Their loud snarls filled the air.Blair stood in the middle, her lips unmoving as she wiggled her fingers, bringing more destruction to the world.I caused this, I had pushed her.“Blair,”
AUTHOR’S POVThe first emotion before death was fear. Mikhail had mastered the craft of instilling fear in his enemies.The battlefield was tense, no man moved not when they could all see their end.“I made you an elder,” Mikhail hissed glaring at Kane like he was some dirt.The rest of the warriors bowed their heads, their wolves weakening at the extreme power that eluded Mikhail.Kane charged forward, claws drawn aiming for Mikhail’s throat. It was a bold cocky move. But he was an untrained brute, fighting blindly with powers he could not control.Kane was cocky. His mother had promised him victory. She had never been wrong about reading into the future.Mikhail dodged his attacks, matching each strike with a force that had taken centuries to forge.The undead moved, their hollow eyes fixed on the warriors, cutting through them like stacks of sticks.Hudson lunged at Knox, his eyes filled with vengeance. Knox had hurt Jade, but beneath that anger, there was curiosity.What was Jade?
MIKHAILThe victory was short lived, Damon moved forward, reaching out to the dead body as he took off the helmet.They froze. Their eyes were wide in shock.“This isn’t Mikhail,” Damon said in a shocked tone, stumbling backwards.“Grey?” Stone mumbled, looking at the dead body like he expected it to answer the questions that he had.Knox was the first to speak up from the men, “What do you mean it isn’t Mikhail,” he hissed, marching towards the body.“Should we attack now?” Hudson asked, his eyes hard as he glared at Knox like they had unfinished business.I smirked, “Not yet. Let them bask in their confusion,”“You promised that he would be here!” Knox yelled, his sword drawn as he pointed it at Kane.“You dare raise your sword against me? Your Alpha?” Kane yelled.Knox laughed, shaking his head slightly, “Take a look around you fool. Mikhail; the lycan king is alive. That means we are all dead men,” he roared, pointing to everyman in the field.I must say, this was getting more int
MIKHAILThe hooves had stopped thundering, they had reached the spot, it was only a matter of time before they turned and betrayed their king.Our vantage point was perfect, giving us all the view we needed of the battlefield. It was quiet, too quiet for a ground that would soon be swallowed with blood and screams.I stood by the edge, my eyes taking in the last moment of calmness before the chaos. The last breath before the screams and killing.The sun had refused to rise, almost like it was mourning the massacre that it was about to witness.“They are in position, four battalions all hunting for the Lycan king,” Blair said, announcing her presence.Jade rushed out of Hudson’s arms, hugging the witch who had a soft spot for her.Hudson watched with fondness in his eyes, staring at their exchange. It was cute and beautiful to watch. The fear of war hadn’t destroyed everything.“Took you look enough,” I drawled.She smiled, “Well, unlike you, I had to make sure that I wasn’t followed,”
