Stick with me… Something is about to happen… See yA!
{Ciril’s POV}A crowd started to form…and it was happening faster than I imagined it to be. The people were shocked to see the Alpha Queen and soon we had a huge and loud crowd standing before us.Basically, the entire Pack was gathered before us as they were stunned by the Alpha Queen’s sudden appearance in the west and in their Pack, and then they were loud and expressing confusion because the Alpha Queen wasn’t saying anything.In their own POV, they were just staring at their Queen standing in the middle of their Pack Market with six cloaked figures standing around her.It was a very strange sight to them but it was perfect for us to gather the crowd we needed. Very soon, the crowd started to get wild as their curiosity couldn’t be suppressed anymore. They started attempting to get closer and scrutinize us and that was my cue to take off my own cloak… and reveal my face. I did that and the reaction I got was a rather chaotic one.The people at the front trembled away initially,
Chapter 164{Ciril’s POV}The Alpha Queen was trembling and I wasn’t even doing anything to her. We had gone back to the cave, Clord being the one who dragged the naked Alpha Queen— for some reason, he wanted to do that so badly and I had let him.Now we were at the Cave and Feryt was getting one of her dresses for the Alpha Queen to put on. But then when she got the dress and attempted to wear it in the Wretch, we encountered a problem.Turns out the Alpha Queen was not a wretch but a fat wretch. Feryt’s dress didn’t fit her. It was her size, hence we had to look for something else to wear her in.— we had to go to one of the Stores in a nearby Pack and steal her some clothes. A part of me saw all these things as unnecessary and annoying since I wanted to scourge and kill her so badly, but then I just had to play along as there was reason in it. Feryt, Anika and I ended up robbing a clothing house and I felt very silly while doing it, but then in recompse, we ended up getting a
{Landon’s POV}~ Three Days Ago ~We weren’t killed by the Ferals— at least anyone who didn’t repel or act stubbornly.For the rest of us who were still alive, we were struck with confusion and dread instead. Confusion about how we were surrounded by hundreds of mindless beasts who were now acting sane. And dread for what would happen next. The sight was disturbing but what was more disturbing was me realizing that Abasha was a part of this. It looked like she was mentally controlling them. It was like she spoke to them with her mind and they listened, and I wouldn’t have believed this if I didn’t see her walk out from their midst to pose before me. Now, we were in the fields before the Palace buildings, being rounded up by the sound of Abasha’s voice.With Ferals lurking in any direction you turn to, all Abasha needed was the sound of her voice to make anyone obey. And as the people in the Palace gathered to one point, I could see how frightened and shaken they were. Turns out
{Ciril’s POV} Clord didn’t hesitate this time around. The Alpha Queen was a more serious threat than Ivanka but he didn’t fear her now as he set her free. Instead, it looked like he feared me.I had my hands folded behind my back as I waited for the Alpha Queen to be set free, and weirdly, she looked like she didn’t want to be set free anymore..She was gazing at Ivanka’s dead body and looking back at me and I was glad she got the memo.— got the memo that she would soon be looking like that. Clord finally took off all the shackles from her and she was freed. But instead of relishing in her freedom, she looked cold and dreadful.I could see how her chest rose and fell and I could hear how furiously her blood rushed through her veins.She was properly shaken— just how I wanted her to be. I took a step forward and she took two steps back, gesturing her hands at me at once. “Stay away!” She voiced. She threw her claws out. “Don’t come any closer!” She threatened. At least to her, it
{Ciril’s POV} I stared at Ivanka as she growled furiously at me.Once upon a time, her growling or the sound of her voice used to be intimidating and scary to me, but now, if I’m being honest, it was funny.Oh, and she looked stupid.I remember the time she used to smack me in the face for the little inconsequential things I would do… so I decided to start with that now.The Alpha Queen was still watching us stare at each other, and after a moment, Ivanka lunged at me. She meant business. The force with which she stormed at me revealed her determination, but that word meant nothing out here. It meant nothing on me.I timely shifted out of the way just as her claws came for my face, and then I slapped her on the back of her head so that she staggered forward.I shifted back a little while she turned to growl at me now. “You Wretch!” She bawled in anger as she rushed at me again. She swung two swift blows at my face, and I decided to stop playing around, so I blocked both blows with b
{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 she
{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, Ciril
{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 remember
