A passion-filled chapter here!!! I hope you liked it ;) Ciril needed a little happiness in her life… and she got it. But will it last long¿
{Ciril’s POV}I needed to validate things and clear my doubts.The Alpha Princess, Princess Anne, had given me an idea of the situation we were in but I also needed to validate her words as she might have been telling me lies and messing with me with her three questions and three answers game.— They all mess with me, all these Royals.But now I was going to know the truth and I was going to torture it out of that pilfer.I got to the Hencher now and my mind finally let go of the memories of the Prince as I was now faced with the gory sight that always seemed gory enough to distract me.The guards opened up the door and after I was let in, I immediately strolled towards my stationed axis to see Ozias. But then I didn’t meet him there. The metal table was unoccupied.I turned to ask one of the slaves, hoping he wasn’t dead. “Excuse me.” I said, calling her attention politely but then this slavegirl in question spun to me and glared at me. “Don’t you dare bug me, filth. I’m freaking ti
{Ciril’s POV}“I know you’re still mated to my brother, the Prince…” She whispered. I stopped walking.I stopped walking and stared at her in shock.I wanted to speak but I couldn’t. I wanted to deny it but I didn’t know how to.She had stopped walking too and now she was gazing at me, smiling a bit. I started to tremble. “Come on.” She said casually, prompting me to keep walking and I did as I realized it was for my own good. Me reacting so shocked would make everyone around figure out that something had happened. They might get suspicious and I didn’t want that to happen so I continued walking.She turned to smile gently at me now and then she looked forward. “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.” She started to say. “I just told you so that you would know that I’m aware.” She said and turned to look at me once more. I still didn’t react. I was still tense. She laughed now. “Oh, you look funny when you’re frightened. Has anyone ever told you that?” She asked me and I shook my head b
{Ciril’s POV}I swiveled around in every direction just to meet more eyes.These people were everywhere.They were watching me, waiting for me to be their source of entertainment.I trembled in fear. I didn’t want to entertain anyone— I didn’t want to get killed since that was what ‘entertainment’ meant. I roamed my gaze around again, but this time, I searched for the one who could save me. My mate— he would help me, wouldn’t he? A mate wouldn't allow his mate to die. I searched for Prince Landon but then I saw Ivanka, her mate General Dylan, Princess Anne, and then the Alpha King and Queen. I saw all the vile faces but I didn’t see the little Princess Anita or the Alpha Prince anywhere.The Alpha King and Queen were seated side by side under the Royal Wynd and then there was another seat beside the King and it was empty— Landon’s seat. He wasn’t around. Of course. My memory was incited now. He was out deploying troops for the scouting mission— troops that would later be brought
{Ciril’s POV}With the way the Alpha Prince had barged into my room, you would think he would be pouring out words nonstop but then my room was quiet as a graveyard now.The room was quiet.He didn’t say anything else because apart from me, there was someone else in the room— someone who he might have just told that we’re mates. The Hencher Mistress.He looked from her to me and then back to her. He was shocked that she was here and in reaction, the Hencher Mistress rose to her feet and bowed down at him reverentially.“Your Majesty.” She greeted him but Prince Landon didn’t respond as he just stared at her. She turned to me now and rested a sampling hand on my belly, above where she had made the stitches. “I think I’m done with the stitches.” She said and started packing her treatment kits. “I’ll come and check to redress the tourniquet again tomorrow. “ She added as she stood up straight and started for the door. I made a nod in understanding as I watched her go but just as she was
{Ciril’s POV}I turned back to look at the Hencher to see the Alpha Queen and King coming out through the doors. They trailed out and after them was a train of Sentries carrying the body carts outside too. There had truly been a massacre as the bodies I was seeing were truly warriors— but warriors who had been maimed and torn apart; Warriors whose bodies were now mutilated.Whatever or whoever had done that to them had been brutish as the signs were all visible for us to see. With the sight, the timid girl motioned to leave since that was what she had been doing before I had stopped her but then as she tried to do so, a group of Sentries suddenly crept out of nowhere and stopped her.“Nobody leaves. By the Alpha King’s decree, all witnesses are to stay in sight.” One of them told her and she wasted no time in trembling back to where I was standing. She was obedient. She would live long around here— in contrast to my stubborn self.I looked at her briefly before I returned my gaze to
{Ciril’s POV}“Are you here to quiz me again? Force answers out of me?” The timid girl asked me. She randomly found me at her door the next morning and I had knocked but she had refused to let me in. “No, I’m not here to quiz you again.” I told her. “You told me everything I needed to know yesterday… but I have one more question to ask.” I said. “Will you answer?” I asked.And she sighed. “I will have to. What choice do I have? If I don’t answer, you’ll probably beat me and force me to.” She responded with a sad tone and I frowned a bit at that.Why does she always think I’m a bully or I want to beat her?I can’t even shift into my werewolf form, meanwhile, I know she can, so if there was any fighting, she would definitely win.“What’s your name?” I asked her and she looked up at me since she had been looking down before. Her timidity was out of this world.“Anika.” She responded and I nodded and motioned to step forward but she stopped me with a gesture of her hand. I stopped back a
{Ciril’s POV}“Yes, I am, mistress. Let’s just hope that my dead friend, Vera, doesn’t rise up from the dead and come for all our heads …”Those were the words I said that made all the amusement in the room vanish. At once, all the gases at the table were thrown at me and they all turned to glaresSo many pairs of eyes glared at me now— except for some that conveyed shock and confusion, like Prince Landon’s and the little Princess’s expression.Princess Anne didn’t react. She was the only grownup who hadn’t said anything since the dinner started. It was weird but it was the least of my concerns right now. The Alpha King was the first to break the silence. “What did you say?” He quizzed me with a growl escaping his lips. He hadn’t been interested in me up until now that I had said something this triggering. I calmly repeated my statement. “My King,” I started slowly. “I said, let’s just hope that my dead friend, Vera, doesn’t rise up from the dead and come for all our heads.” I said
{Ciril’s POV}I immediately shot up to my feet And my heart seemed to make that motion with me as it threatened to break out of my chest with the way it was beating against it now.Abasha was in my room and she had seen me with Prince Landon. She had seen us together. It was a live and an unquestionable sight. I started to tremble.With her smile still on, she casually walked into the room now and I started to panic. She had caught me with her husband and mate-to-be— once he marked her, but she didn’t look angry because she knew it was over for me. I turned my weary gaze to look at Prince Landon. I wanted to know what he taught about what was happening. I wanted to get a glimpse of what was going through his head and I met him scowling.He looked angry… and seemingly, he was directing that infuriated expression to Abasha.— who didn’t seem to care.“So,” She started to say calmly.” Are you two just in love… or are you still mates?” She asked Like did you lie to all of us about bei
{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
