Levi’s POVIt was today.The day I’d watch Kai meet an embarrassing end just before all of his power was transferred to my deserving arms. The gods knew that I would’ve been better suited to be blessed with his boundless abilities and fate had finally turned things in my favor.“Are you prepared for the ritual?” I practically whispered as I bent towards the elderly men that were meant to perform the soul swapping ritual.They dropped their hoods at the same time and nodded in a slow synchronized movement, “As prepared as the gods permits their servants to be.”Creepily, that was also said in unison before the covered their hoods again in one swift motion and walked off towards the lifted stage where Kai’s body would be placed for the public execution. As weird and disturbing as their identical movements were, it didn’t deplete my excitement about the execution ceremony.“Welcome all,” I stood to my feet as I began to address the hundreds of people in attendance.“You have come from lan
Kai’s POVLevi’s pain strengthened me even more, he had no idea.“In your next life, when you get an opportunity to kill your enemy, don’t be an egoistic bastard by waiting to organize a lousy ceremony first and just fucking do it!” I gave him the last piece of valuable advice he’d ever get.“C-Cora….” tears dropped down his face as he fixed his desperately pleading eyes on my woman.“You brought this on yourself, Levi. I’d never have grown to love or trust a man that could betray someone he’d sworn an oath of eternal loyalty to, it just meant that you could switch up on me someday too,” she surprised me by intertwining her fingers with my bloody ones as she spoke.“I could never ever betray you, Cora. You’re my fated true love, and it’s not too late to leave this deceitful monster and save me,” my blood began to boil all over again as I watched him plead with her.I gave him one fatal blow to the jaw and he dropped to the floor groaning.“Stop fucking talking to her, you dead meat!”
Cora’s POV“Bitch, if you don’t get back in there!” Nina caught me just before I could sneak out to Kai’s chambers. “Man, you’re such a cockblocker,” I blew a raspberry at her and rolled my eyes in annoyance before stepping back into the room. “It’s bad luck for the groom to see his bride while she’s fully dressed and you know it,” she entered right after me. Maybe If I’d snuck out the second after she left I’d have met up with Kai for a quickie and I’d be back before she could come and spew rubbish myths to keep me away from him. “That’s a myth and whoever came up with it is clearly a hater!” I sunk into my chair, fully dressed in the most stunning wedding dress I’d ever seen all my life. “I’ll let you get away with that only because it’s your wedding day,” Nina chucked a purple flower in her hair to match her chief bridesmaid’s dress. “It’s my wedding day!” I squealed so loudly that Nina had to use both palms to block her eyes while smiling at me. I still couldn’t believe it.
CORAIt was my parent's wedding anniversary and as usual, the whole pack was invited into our house to celebrate them. I've never liked crowds because I've always preferred my own company and the company of the few people that were the closest to me which were my parents and my best friend, Kella and left to me, I'd have locked myself up in my room to read a book or paint over sitting with hundreds of werewolves from the pack. We live in Crescent Valley, a kingdom made up of infinite numbers of small packs that have learned to cohabit peacefully over the years. My father was the Alpha of one of the packs, the Night Shadow Pack and he was well-loved among the pack members and the other packs in Crescent Valley because of his great leadership skills. Crescent Valley was really the best place to be in and the cohabitation makes it easy for the packs to unite against common enemies, thereby promoting peace and security. Crescent Valley would have been perfect if not for a particular mi
CORAHis eyes were like staring death straight in the eye and merely looking at him made me feel like I was in the presence of the devil himself. Goosebumps broke out on my skin as he glanced at me from head to toe, his eyes appraising my body as if I was a piece of meat on the slab and the gesture felt like I was being shrouded in heat.He looked away from me dismissively as if I was irrelevant, unworthy of even looking at before he bent down to wipe my father's blood on my father's body. That was when everything that had happened in the past hour or so came running back and I was reminded of the death that was surrounding me, of the dead bodies, of the bodies that the Lycan King had destroyed and severed in the most inhuman ways possible and he didn't even look like he just killed over a hundred people with the way he looked put together in his cloak, shoes, long hair, and a smile that promised death and everything gory. There was another werewolf behind him, standing by the door
KAIWhat a stupid she-wolf! What an interesting but stupid she-wolf! Since I took over the mantle of power from my weakling of a father who thought I wasn't cut out to lead Crescent Valley, who thought the blood in me was too hot and too lethal for me to lead the Kingdom, I've made it clear to the whole Kingdom that I wasn't anything like my father who ruled over them with love and care. The only way I know to be a great leader was to instill my fear in their hearts, was to rule over them with terror and the sternest hands, to teach them that whoever dares to breathe wrongly in my direction will suffer a fate worse than death. I made this clear after my father's death and some Alphas gathered to have a meeting to select the new King because they thought I was too young, too impulsive, and too irresponsible to lead Crescent Valley. I had badged into their meeting place and I was even ready to be chivalrous, to allow them to explain to themselves but they dared to raise their voice
CORAMy life has ended. My parents were dead. My whole pack was gone, the remains burnt into ashes by a deranged psychopath whom no one was going to question. I sat opposite him in the carriage, thinking of a thousand ways to kill him. I know he must have a thousand horrendous things planned for me and as long as it doesn't claim my life, then I would suffer through it all, bid my time, and finally make him pay.He must think of me as a weak she-wolf but I'll end him, even if that's the last thing I'll do.We soon drove in through the gates of his castle and I noticed how everyone bowed completely as a sign of respect and didn't straighten up until we were far gone while the asshole didn't even pay any attention to them.In no time, we were packed in front of the entrance that looked like a getaway to heaven and an involuntary shudder ran through me when I saw a human's head hanging on a pole by the entrance. Of course, that psychopath must have killed the man and hung his body fo
CORAMy stomach clenched in hunger and thirst and the threat of my impending death left a bitter taste in my mouth. I was curled in a fetal position, my hands cradling my stomach as I lay on the dirty floor of the cell that I was thrown into a couple of days ago. A couple of days ago because I wasn't sure of how many days have passed, I had no way of knowing since the cell was in the underground with no windows and no source of air except the one from the barred door. I've been left there, probably abandoned to die with no water and food for days and as if that wasn't completely horrible enough, I had to ease myself into that same room because I couldn't bring myself to scream at whoever was near to open the door for me so I'd do it in a more dignified place. I had more dignity than that. And I doubted if I'd have been allowed out, Kai wouldn't want that; I was sure locking me up here with no option but to shit and pee here was one of his numerous ways of punishing me.And if he
