A block buster chapter here!!! …And we’re about to welcome a new character… — which means more dramaaa. Lol.. Hope y’all are ready… See yA!
{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}The Prince’s plan was a wild and crazy one but then he meant it.He ended up not rejecting me but then as obligated of him and as necessary for our act, he still whipped me— which felt like the most awful thing ever as he was still my mate.— and him scourging me as my mate was bruising me on the inside more than it was doing on the outside.But then, he didn’t whip me with the metal strip whip that was required for the process as he ended up bringing out another whip he had secretly been carrying. It was still a whip but a much less torturing one as it had light leather strips and not serrated metal wires. The Prince was supposed to lash me all over my body but then he had only whipped my back and bailed out, saying he couldn’t go any further. Metal whip or no metal whip, full body beating or no full body beating, I had ended up shedding tears as the very idea of being whipped by your other half was not a nice thing in the slightest. In recompense, the Prince had hel
{Ciril’s POV}I started wailing loudly. The pain from the whip marks on my back was no longer hurting but I started weeping like I had just lost a limb.— and I didn’t lose a limb.My wailing was the Prince’s cue so he gripped my hair and started pulling me through the rest of the trail out to meet the Sentries.I groaned and gnashed my teeth as I cried loudly.We were doing such a good job. Soon, the path where the Sentries stood waiting for the Prince came into view and then almost immediately, I was thrown to the ground by the Prince. He bawled. “You filth!” He termed me. “I would have whipped you to your death if I wasn’t in such a weary mood.” He said and faced the Sentries. “Take her away to her chambers! She is to remain there for four days after which she would resume her usual Palace service.” He said and the Sentries promptly bowed in understanding and stumped towards me.“She can’t walk so you maybe have to carry her— or better still, drag her on the ground.” He added me
{Ciril’s POV}Sometimes I feel like if our heart had the option, they would just break out of our chest cavity and make a run for it. Some people’s hearts have been through so much tension and dread than they can handle— for example; my heart.My heart has been through so much tension and dread. Upon seeing Ivanka in the doorway, my heart ached and then it started thumping mightily against my chest. I didn’t like being scared of her but at the same time, I couldn’t control it.I immediately shot up to my feet, Vera with me, and I stared at Ivanka in tremble as she made her way in. “You are going to make what work?” Ivanka repeated herself and then motioned her hand at the Sentries in the doorway, signaling them to remain outside. I started to make slow paces back.I didn’t know what to tell her and at the same time, I couldn’t let her find out about the Prince and me. I dreaded that reality but at the same time, my brain wasn’t supplying me with any excuse.“I asked you a question
{Ciril’s POV}“Oh my goodness.” Vera started panicking. “It's real. It’s happening. There is truly a feral.”She was panicking audibly and she was doing it on both our behalf frankly. I couldn’t talk because I was too dazed to do so but then she was saying the exact words I was thinking.“We’re in deep mess, Ciril. Very deep mess!” She voiced. “What are we going to do?!” “Hey, lower your voice and calm down.” I told her, trying to be the emotionally stronger one among us. “How do you expect me to fucking calm down, Ciril?!” She retorted and I stared at her with a hint of surprise.“Since when do you cuss?” I asked her.“I cuss whenever my life is about to be over.”Good point. “Look.” I shifted closer and held her shoulders. “I know this is a terrible situation we’re in but yelling and complaining is not going to solve anything. It’s only going to call the guards' attention to us. They helped the wounded warriors into the Hencher and soon, they’ll be back out to guard the doors, by
{Ciril’s POV}I waited.I waited patiently until it was nighttime. I had been bored throughout the day so now that it was nighttime, my only impulse was to sneak out. And that’s what I did. Vera had subconsciously become my roommate so I snuck out before she could get back to the quarters, from her daily duty and try to stop me. I trailed through the gardened pathways now towards the Palace's main buildings as the Slave Quarters were separated from it. I was moving with stealth and a rapidly beating heart now but then my urge to know the truth kept pushing me. I just had to have my questions answered. I made it to the main Palace buildings and stood for a moment as I studied its architecture to know what axis the Prince’s room was. I was using the mate bond we shared to locate him and it was working just fine but then I realized that the Prince’s room was on the east side of where I was standing and it was in the upper story of the buildings. I needed to climb. I saw a group o
{Ciril’s POV}I crashed to the ground roughly and bruised my knees but that wasn’t the most disturbing thing.The most disturbing was the fact that I had just been dragged from the Quarters to the courtyard, embarrassed along the way and now I was knelt before the person I least wanted to be beside. — I didn’t know it would only get worse.“I am made to believe that the Prince didn’t reject the slave girl.” I heard the Abasha girl say behind me and then immediately, my heart started struggling to break out of my chest with harsh pounds. My breathing stiffened. I promptly swiveled around to look at Abasha now and I met a cunning smile on her lips. I tensed as waves of shock and dread poured through me. How did she find out?“Is that so?” The Alpha Queen said now, her voice calling my attention back to her. I promptly bowed down my head in mercy and to avoid making eye contact with her especially since my eyes were becoming teary. “Yes, my Queen.” Abasha responded.“And how do you k
{Ciril’s POV}“Oh, you thought I didn’t know?”Those words crashed into my consciousness like six daggers rather than six words. I trembled with more fear than I thought was possible now— on a hot day, I was shuddering. Abasha knew.She knew all along and she was casually here, trying to make me mess and lie… which I had just done. “Interesting.” The Alpha Queen muttered for the second time today. I turned to look at her but I didn’t know who to focus on anymore. The Queen was powerful and cruel and this scared me, but then, with the few things that had happened today, I was made to realize that Abasha was dangerous.Very dangerous.I swiveled back to rest my gaze on Abasha as she started to laugh and address me now. “Look at how edgy she looks.” She said while she chortled. “You’re literally convulsing. Your slave hands are shaking.” She added and laughed some more. Fresh tears streamed out of my eyes. “Guilt.” The Alpha Queen commented and then she faced Abasha. “Explain to me
{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
{Ciril’s POV} “Hi.”You know, I once quivered anytime I spoke to the Alpha Queen or Ivanka or any other esteemed bitch in this Palace… but now?I’ve never felt so confident. It felt amazing knowing that they dreaded my presence and not the other way around. It was a really incredible feeling. It felt amazing seeing Ivanka, the same vile Cunt that always reigned her devilry and aggressiveness upon me— it felt amazing seeing her tremble before me now.One word, “Hi” and I felt all their pulses rise. I decided to be as slow as possible in order to enjoy the moment to the fullest. I decided to take my time.— go to them one by one.I rested my gaze on Ivanka now, and I smirked. My first specimen. She was scowling at me and breathing heavily in her attempt to hide her uneasiness. She looked stupid. I wished I could tell her that. Oh, wait. I could.“Hi, Ivanka. You look stupid.” I said now and she tensed at me addressing her before she scowled.“You think being the Champion means an
{Ciril’s POV} I spilled blood and I reigned chaos… .. but then I was only just getting started.Weirdly, there were only a couple of warriors left for me to kill— a litter of about fifteen of them after I had just killed dozens. It was weird because I expected the Alpha Queen to send the entire Garrison after me since she knew I was here.Anyhoo…I punched my claws into the throat of one of the warriors just as he tried to attack me, and with the force of my bashing, his head instantly separated from his body and just stayed there on my claws.I used it to smash into the head of another attempting Cunt— skull collided with skull and they both cracked.“AHHH!” I heard the yell of a new warrior who was trying to be brave as he raced toward me with every aggressiveness he could offer. He got to me but just as he swung his blow for my head, I bent down and swept him off his feet with my hand grabbing his leg. I held him up in the air and growled at the rest of them so that they tremble
{Ciril’s POV} “Woah.”“Oh my...”Those, among several others, were the comments from Clord and Feryt. It was a few hours past midday and the once-clear clouds had suddenly gone dark… because of me. I was raging as I focused my eyes on these very walls that had caged me with gloom and torment. I was heaving now and as a result, Clord and the others knew that the sky’s fury was my doing— a reflection of my grief and rage. It was thundering loudly now and the wind all around us was beginning to grow wilder. I reveled in the pending ChaosI was about to resume my trail towards the Palace but then a voice stopped me. “Ciril?” The voice said beside me now and I instantly veered my gaze to the side to see Feryt. She trembled slightly with my gaze.“What do we do now?” She asked me. She spoke loudly since the wind was getting more fierce by the second and crowding the silence as a result. The skies thundered again.“Stay here.” I said now with my scowl evident on my face. “Stay here until
{Ciril’s POV} I didn’t say a word.I didn’t say a word to any of them. All I did was walk, trek, trudge— all of them. And this made us go faster.At the pace we were going, I calculated that we might actually get to the Palace in a day— or not. After some hours of my ignorance and my fast traveling, they stopped me.By they, I mean the democratic bunch— Feryt, Clord, and Gordius. Feryt was their leader or representative this time around and she crept before me to prevent me from moving forward.I scowled at her when she suddenly appeared before me. “Ciril, we need to talk.” She told me. I shifted to the side and slipped past her, continuing onwards but then she was stubborn so that she trailed after me and blocked my trail again.“Ciril, stop! Just stop and listen, okay?!” She said with a stern tone and was immediately joined by Gordius on her right and Clord on her left. As usual, Gordius was annoyingly confident with his old face while Clord looked frightened by me but then the
