Hey! So what do you guys think about the turn out¿ Let me know.. Things are about to get even bitter… lol. See yA!
{Ciril’s POV}I kept being hauled by these Sentries and I kept on weeping as we went. The Prince had told me to act— hence make my hurt believable. So that was what I was going to do.But then I was scared. I was scared of the Alpha Queen. She looked like a very smart woman.What if she figures out the truth?What if she finds out that I’m faking and has me killed?I just have to hope things go well. We took a turn down an elegant and brightly lit hallway and then I knew we were getting close to her Chambers or room or wherever she was positioned. My eyes randomly fell on Edwin now and we made eye contact very briefly before he looked away. But then before he took his gaze away, I noticed something on his guise.Pity… or concern.I couldn’t really tell which I saw on his face but I knew he wasn’t all that comfortable with what was going on.Maybe he isn’t as cruel as I thought.Mighty and heavy gold-plated doors were opened now and I was flung into whatever room we had walked in. I
{Ciril’s POV}I tensed as my eyes fell on her.Ivanka in a royalty-embedded dress was still a vile sight. I trembled back now.She had power over at RawHowl since she was the Luna’s daughter but here she had even more power as she was now the wife of a Top Reignile General and the Alpha Prince’s best friend… while I was still a slave— always the slavegirl.I made eye contact with her and I backed away while she smiled in reaction— smiled evilly. Fear struck my chest and it made me pace faster but then I only succeeded in backing up into one of the statues. I stopped walking now with a hastily beating chest and just then, she began to speak.“How do I look?” She asked me weirdly now but then I stared at her dress for a moment in order to give her her answer.“You.. you look clean and pretty, Ivanka.” I said and she immediately bawled at me.“It’s Mistress to you!” She stoned her words at me and I tensed and then I corrected myself.“Sorry, Mistress.” I said with my head bowed low. “G
{Ciril’s POV}Last night was no common night at all.To me, it was a torturous night.I had just gotten to the Palace but I had already seen enough reason to want to run away. But then I couldn’t run away since I knew the repercussions I would face if I was caught— deadly repercussions. But then last night was still compelling me to scarper away, and now that it was daytime, I could only walk around with dread in the pit of my chest.I had seen gory scenes last night.I have never seen a werewolf so brutally wounded. There had been blood everywhere in the Hencher, and the more we tried to treat the Warriors that bled, the more they bled.So many of them ended up dying and the Caregivers could only save just a few. Hence, by the time I was done with my shift, I had the blood of 100 men on my dress and skin… and I had one question to ask. What sort of creature wounded these warriors in this fashion?Note. I had so many questions— a bunch of them, but this was most paramount among othe
{Ciril’s POV}How can the event of someone’s promotion be seen as bad news?How can you detest the rising up of someone to noble posts?Well, when that person is Ivanka, you think of it as the worst type of news.Ivanka was one of the most vile and cruel souls I’ve ever met and instead of her likes to be pulled down the ranks of supremacy, she was being exalted even more.Instead of her being stripped of her power, she was being fueled with more while I was abandoned on the opposite side of the spectrum.Now she had been made Seneschal and was now in charge of me— in charge of my life. What could be more horrific than this?I tried to stop myself from visibly panicking now that it was announced. I tried to stop myself from trembling as Ivanka’s eyes were on me since I knew that was what she wanted.With Edwin’s conclusion now, Ivanka stepped forward, spreading her arms apart in a dramatic fashion that signified pride and self praise. I and the other Slavegirls just stared at her displ
{Ciril’s POV}“I said, take a seat.” Ivanka glared at me with her harsh volume… and then she smiled weirdly. “Please.” She added with a gentle smile.I slowly started bending to sit, not bothering to check if there was actually something behind me that I could sit on, but then fortunately, my bum met with an object— most likely a clothed stool, and I sat down on it. “Good girl.” Ivanka muttered and she gave me a once over before she positioned her bent self before Alpha Dylan, causing her nipples to point downwards. Just then, Alpha Dylan rose up from his sitting position and hovered his burly figure over Ivanka who was bent, ass turned towards him.They both stared at me now and I tried to pick which vile face I would look at while Alpha Dylan inserted his shaft into Ivanka’s behind. I randomly chose Ivanka’s face but it was a stupid choice.Ivanka licked her lips now and then she sashayed her hips in preparation to receive Alpha Dylan and just then she gasped.Loudly.Her back arc
{Ciril’s POV}I rested my eyes on the Prince and I tensed with the sight— and I tensed even more with the proximity.I was standing skin-to-skin with him…His hands on my waist had stopped me from falling… but then they were still on my waist.He was holding me.— with warm gentle hands that caused the hairs on my skin to gain wild excitement.I stared at him, into the blue mystifying wonder that were his eyes.They were beautiful from afar, but up close…They were something else.—something more beautiful than beauty.. and I don’t even know what that is.I tried to focus on forming words now. “I.. M-My. It w-wasn’t.. I didn’t…”Speaking was suddenly the hardest thing in the world.But then I knew why— It was the effect he had on me. But despite knowing this, I couldn’t tear my gaze off of him.I couldn’t stop looking at the calmness and lure that adorned his face and features. He was effortlessly the most stunning chap I’ve ever seen— and I’ve met a lot of stunning chaps as over the
{Ciril’s POV}We heard the peak of Feral’s outburst as he got to us with his murderous haste but then he never got to make any physical contact as another body jumped between us timely.It wasn’t a squad of strong sentries or a group of adept guards. It was just one person and now he seemed to be giving the Feral an actual fight than those four dead Sentries.The Alpha Prince. My heart started to race even faster when I realized it was him. His bold growl filled the air now as he exchanged blows with the Feral but then he was evading most of the blows that came from the viscous lunatic.With the noise, the Palace was awoken and bodies came running towards our axis and surrounding the area— warriors and Sentries alike. But then none of them interfered in the battle as the Alpha Prince seemed to be handling the Feral just fine.Now, he avoided a fierce blow to the Feral by shifting away to the side and then he retaliated with a clawing blow to the Feral back. And with the impact on th
{Ciril’s POV}I had been trying hard not to spill wine or do anything stupid while attending to the royal family. But I finally spilled wine. Yep.With the Queen’s utterance, I couldn’t control my uneasiness as the Prince being married and marked by someone else meant that he would reject me soon enough. And so, this sudden panic made my fingers twitch while I was pouring wine for the King so that I then dumped the remaining content onto his legs.I trembled away as realization hit me.I had been distracted.A look of horror claimed my face now as I rushed and knelt before the King. “My King, I’m so sorry. I d-didn’t realize that—”There was an impact. And I found my chin touching the ground the next second.The Alpha King had smacked me with a quick fist and now he was getting up to pour his rage on me now. “Have you gone mad, slave?!” He bawled and threw out his claws in his outburst. In reaction, I gathered myself up to my knees and bowed before him, my head touching the ground.
{Ciril’s POV} With the Alpha Queen’s voice, My mother shot up to her feet but then she staggered and threatened to fall so that I timely held her.I helped her balance herself and stared at her to see if she was okay but then she wasn’t looking back at me. She had her gaze directed down the path before us, the path where we had chained the Alpha Queen and Ivanka— and kept Balif. I didn’t bother chaining Balif because he was l maimed to the extent that he couldn’t escape. My mother had her gaze in that direction and she looked alarmed and frightened. I started to stroke her back gently.“Mum.” I said. “You’re okay. There’s nothing to worry about. They are restrained and under control.” I told her comfortingly but my words didn’t seem to calm her down. “You.. you captured them?” She muttered now. “Yes. I did. You are properly safe, mum— It’s them that should be panicking.” I said now but she kept staring in that tense manner.“You captured h-her— it’s really her…” she muttered and I
{Ciril’s POV} The air was calm. I was holding my mother in my arms..I was staring into her eyes..And then we were both shedding tears, making this the best feeling or moment in the entire world.I felt this heavy sense of relief upon me that she was finally here with me, that she wasn’t dead— that I hadn’t been too late in my attempt to save her. I wouldn’t have been able to live with myself had it been otherwise.She had her hand on the sides of my face and it felt like the most warming gesture ever… and the way she stared at me?I felt like I was made of gold because she was staring very lovingly so that I could see compassion in her every gesture. Seeing her shed more tears broke me so I attempted to make her stop. “Mum. It’s enough… you can stop crying now.” I said, trying to wipe her tears from beneath her eyes even though it was an overwhelming attempt as her tears were more than my hand swipes could handle. But now, she shook her head in refusal to stop crying and then sh
{Ciril’s POV} “Mother.” I shot up to my feet and the word left my mouth even before I could even think of saying it. I immediately shifted close to her and with my sudden motion, the others gathered around.I was breathing heavily now.I was sure I saw something— or at least I hoped I truly did.I stared at her eyelids for a moment and that time continued to stretch as I kept staring and waiting for something to happen. — waiting to get a confirmation of what I thought I had seen. Kiba and Kora were still licking her fingers and face respectively and I watched intensely, not trying to stop them or interfere.After a moment, tears glossed my eyes as I was beginning to realize that the fluttering I had seen was just something my mind created out of my intense hope, but then… just as I was about to claim disappointment and intense melancholy, I heard Clord’s voice.“Her eyelids twitched.” He voiced and I shook my head in rejection. “They didn’t…” I muttered in my despair. “No, Ciri
{Ciril’s POV} People had been dying around me, but then I had no other choice than to escape. I had to save the people I cared about— the people that mattered to me.Plus I had been holding my mother in my arms, someone who was barely breathing so there had been nothing else that was more important to me than her life.We had raced towards the north gates of the Palace and I had gone into Celestial State after handing my mother to Feryt for her to carry. I had done this so that I could break down the gates that were never open.I ended up breaking through the thick Palace walls as brick was easier to punch through than metal. So I successfully created a path and we all escaped, but not before I had killed a fair number of Ferals that had sniffed us out. Afterwards, I had sent the group running and had stayed back to make sure no Feral would follow us. Fortunately for me, the Ferals around that axis weren’t that many so I was done dismantling them in little time, but then I remembe
{Landon’s POV} I couldn’t rip my attention away from the fact that I had just seen her. That I had been standing so close to her.She was gone now and we were currently surrounded by doom in the form of fierce and breathing dead bodies. They were storming the Palace and tearing it down and still my mind was ruminating over Ciril. She had been so fearless— so majestic and I just couldn’t stop thinking about her and the things she had done here today. I sound crazy. She had killed a lot of my warriors today. Heck, she took my mother away but then I wasn’t angered by that. I was only hurt.— hurt because I couldn’t have done anything to make a difference— hurt because I truly deserved all that had happened. I had tried to apologize to her but then she had made it strictly clear that she didn’t want to hear any of that. She had made it clear that she wanted to kill me instead— and I had seen it on her face that she had meant it.That she had truly wanted to kill me. It was hurtful
{Ciril’s POV} I was the first one to see them because I had gone into the Celestial State and my sense of vision had been heightened. But about some seconds later, I didn’t need the sense of the Celestial State to see them— Everyone could see them now and realize that a huge wave of Ferals was the cause of the earth's trembling.But even with the realization and the dread that claimed us, we were all frozen. Our feet were glued to the ground and we remained staring like that because we were stunned.The Ferals weren’t coming from just one direction.They were coming from every direction— racing towards the Palace in wildness and brutality, giving no room for the slightest hint of sanity.I could already hear screams of the inhabitants around filling the air and Landon’s men were equally befuddled as they were all panicking and contemplating their next move. No one was on their knees again. My heart was beating fast and I was struck with the highest measure of confusion and shock.
{Ciril’s POV} My guise switched at once.If I wasn’t furious before, I was furious now. Landon was walking towards me with an army behind him and all I could think of was ‘kill’‘Scourge’‘Rip apart.’I had no other longing. My growling grew louder as he got closer and Feryt and the others joined me in readiness since they knew I was preparing to attack. Landon should be crawling on the ground before me— shedding blood and tears after all he has done to me.My countenance became more fierce now and I was heaving furious in my pending attempt, but just as I was about to storm at him, he raised his hands slowly in the air and halted.“Ciril.” He said my name.He said my name and I was momentarily distracted by the sound of it as his voice and intonation sounded like how he used to regard me calmly once upon a time. And so, my scowling disappeared for a moment but then when it returned, it came with an aggressive pump of energy.I trudged up to Landon with ready claws in order to wip
{Ciril’s POV} [TRIGGER WARNING: This Chapter might be a bit too violent and Gory… maybe.]The night was here and the crescent moon lit up the skies— along with the fairly numerous Palace lights.The wind was in the air and there were random cries of agony being heard. And I felt good.I had three hands with me instead of two and it felt amazing. Dolores's hand was in my grip and I stared at her now as she cried in pain. It felt so satisfying knowing that I was with the body part she once-upon-a-time used to smack me, pull my hair, punch me in the face, and so on.Just this body part— her hand, had caused me so much pain and tears at nights when I would go to bed bleeding, and now I looked at it with such amusement seeing that it had been this fragile all along.“You’ll.. you’ll suffer for this!” Ivanka yelled at my face now as she poured out heavy pants before me. I took my gaze off Dolores’s hand and looked at her.“You’ll pay if you hurt her or me!” Her voice came out even louder
{Ciril’s POV} I lunged at the Alpha Queen, wanting to grasp her and begin her own sequence of torture but then these idiots jumped in the way. These weak idiots who swore their loyalties to her. Her warriors.In her defense, a whole lot of them stormed at me even though it was pretty obvious they didn’t want to. They were scared but did it nonetheless and I saw it as bravery.I was impressed by it but then I was going to teach them a lesson for it.I bashed some bodies to the ground with two arm swings now and then I growled as more warriors came at me meanwhile the Alpha Queen was escaping. She ran further away towards the Alpha building. I hadn’t thought this through. I had wanted to scourge the Alpha Queen but then I had forgotten that I was greatly outnumbered and would have to kill my way through.Well, I’m not complaining.Killing has recently become my new and persistent hobby. The warriors surrounded me now and were spread out over a great distance, and taking in the sight
