Madeline's smile was a victorious one. The moment the arrow pierced into his skin and she could see that the area where the arrow stayed was beginning to tint a red color. She sent a mocking glance to George who was frantic. What was going to happen next?Calhoun simply looked down at the arrow, he placed his hand on the stick and pulled it out. The wound closed up and it stopped bleeding. Madeline's smile faltered on her face. Not just that it faltered, but it also began to shake terribly. Calhoun wasn't staring at her. He was concerned about the people who were gathered around him. "Guards, ensure that the people return to their homes. We have a battle to fight." Calhoun announced. The people began to complain and cry out. Calhoun's earlier concern began to morph into anger and he growled loudly. They quietened instantly."Return to your houses!" He commanded. The villagers began to scurry around, each one trying to find their family members so they could return home."George, take
Calhoun waited till it was midnight before going to check the dungeon. On his way, he met Thomas coming out of his room. Thomas bowed in greeting to him. The man had begun to gain a little weight but he still didn't look like what he did before he was imprisoned."Thomas," Calhoun called. "Come, walk with me."Thomas didn't refute. He followed Calhoun on his journey to the dungeon."You see, being a king is so easy, sometimes I feel like I was born for it," Calhoun said. His face was stoic and cold. Thomas smiled a little."You must enjoy it, my Lord." He commented. Calhoun nodded a little."I would say I want to know what it feels like, but I don't think I could do half as good as you," Thomas said. "Perhaps Diana could be a better leader than I could ever be."Calhoun's stoic face turned more rigid at the mention of Diana's name. It was over a year and a half, getting to two years yet the pain was fresh and new whenever her name was mentioned."I'm sorry for that, my king. I know th
Diana was finally able to breathe in calmly. Coco's body temperature had returned to normal, all on its own. She had been so afraid, she didn't know what to do, she was at crossroads because she wasn't certain her secret could be kept by the military medicals.But just as suddenly as his body had risen in temperature, his body had also cooled in temperature and the boy had stopped crying. "Diana, don't you think it's time to begin to feed him with regular food? The boy seems to suddenly have an appetite." Maggie had said. It was true, after Coco's temperature had calmed down, he fed for so long that Diana had begun to feel dizzy in a way. She couldn't understand why it was that way for him. But she was willing to do anything for the sake of his health."I don't know, baby food isn't all that much of an ideal thing right now," Diana said. "The illness was too strange.""True." Maggie agreed. "But then again, you can still just mash the adult food to soothe his age and you know, it wil
Rahu smirked up at Calhoun who stood on his balcony with the same man he was pretending to be. He morphed back to his original form, startling Patricia. George turned to stare at Calhoun to see his reaction. Calhoun held a bored expression on his face and that irked Rahu."Come down, Calhoun," Rahu said. "If you dare.""You aren't lord over me, King Rahu," Calhoun replied. "You wouldn't give me orders and expect me to obey.""Do you dare to not come down? I will take your slave and have her tonight." Rahu said. Calhoun chuckled darkly."I'm sure she will have a nice time." He said. Patricia was frightened yet enraged. She had expected Calhoun to stop him or at least say something to have him release her. How can he pass off such a comment about her?"I will not!" Patricia immediately refuted.Calhoun sneered. "Even the lady says she will not have a nice time with you, Rahu. You are that despicable to even be rejected by a human lady."Nothing irked the other man more than having Calho
Calhoun trained his soldiers severely. He tested their speed, agility, and strength. He wanted them to only be the best.As their training continued, they gradually began to feel less and less human. Felix, Evander, and George stood by the side, watching them train with Calhoun. Evander felt the pressure put on them. George was indifferent which was suspicious because he always had something to say.Felix however was Calhoun's supporter. The only reason he and Evander were exempted from the strenuous training was that they were ages older than Calhoun and had fought beside his father. They knew the old tactics of battle and that was enough for them.At the end of the first week of their training, there was a lot of difference in even their appearance."Well done my king," Felix said, handing him his robe as usual. Calhoun would only grunt and nod his head. "With this type of training, it is inevitable to win the battle against Yara.""There is no relenting," Calhoun growled. "It's eit
"Oh, it's a popular thing now my king," Felix said, chuckling. "Even their villagers are aware, it's not just the lords." Calhoun scowled terribly. "I thought it was known to be just Wisteria. That was the plan.""Well sorry my king, I bet the people who discussed this thought it wise to inform the remaining species. Also, Yara is of an ancient bloodline of werewolves." Felix explained. "His knowledge about this is inevitable."Calhoun roared and punched his hand into the wall, angered. All the while he had assumed that his reputation was intact, he never knew it was already tarnished by the world."But if they do know that I cannot be killed, why then do they keep trying?" Calhoun wondered. "Aren't they just foolish?""Foolish, perhaps." Felix nodded. "But if Yara ever finds out that there is a way he can harm you, even if it's temporary, don't you think he will do it as quickly as he could?"Calhoun whooshed around and was at his balcony door in an instant, unlocking it. Once he h
She cuddled Coco to her chest, feeling all the fright in the world. Now as much as she wanted to go out and fight, she also wanted to keep a low profile. The soft knocks continued for a long time until it was almost midnight, then it stopped.Diana's eyes were wide open and she wasn't in any mood at all. She got up when she noticed the knock hadn't resounded for another two minutes. She walked slowly to the door again. Right as she stood there, she heard a loud banging on her door and she jolted in fright, almost dropping her baby. Diana barely managed not to gasp aloud. After the loud bang, she saw a white envelope slip under her door and she heard the sound of footsteps leaving her door. The sound got more and more distant until it faded away completely. Diana exhaled sharply. She used her foot to touch the letter and it remained in the same position. She stepped on it and it didn't move. She bent down to pick it up. As soon as she picked it up, she felt a cold breeze pierce throu
Yolanda smirked at Diana's rage. She loved that she could easily rile the woman up. She was the only female commander and she was next in line to the chief commander, Jasyn. She had been very excited when she was given the position, she felt it would be easier to gain his attention in that position but the man proved to be very concerned about Eugene's matters and every other thing about Fraco. Jasyn would never even spare her a second glance, but he did spare her first glances and that was way more than he had done to everyone else. She was also the closest to him so when she heard they were recruiting another female soldier who Eugene had put in so many good words for, she had to hurry and see for herself, what kind of woman she was that the governor himself would suggest to the army.She saw Diana as a threat to her position and she didn't like it one bit. She didn't like the fact that Diana was not only pretty but had also gained the height she had always wanted.She also heard t
