The High Priestess heard them speaking about the fulfillment of the tyrant King Borasco’s promise to be reborn. But she saw no one.
“Queen Eula?” the other priestess asked in a whisper.
“Nothing, I must have mistaken,” Aquila answered. Then she got closer to Eula. “Let’s wake her up. She might want to see her son at the open square.”
“Do you think it’s a good idea to bring her there right now?” the other priestess worriedly asked.
“We don’t know what plans the New King and Queen has. This might be the only chance for the mother and son to see each other. Although I m not sure they would want to witness what is about to happen to that man,” Aquila answered.
Ethan gave a silent order to Alpha Lisbon to take Mauricio to the side. Then an assigned warrior proceed to carry out Borasco’s punishment. Mauricio was helpless, he wanted to help his father, but what could he do in this situation? All the son could do was embrace his mother tightly. Alpha Lisbon brought Mauricio next to Priestess Aquila, who was also next to the former Queen, now addressed as Lady Eula.The flogging started. The crowd was glad to watch everything that was happening. They were satisfied to see King Borasco was feeling pained. Many of them were hoping the tyrant former ruler Borasco would somehow feel the agony; even just the part of what they have had to suffer over the years under his reign. “Good for him!”Some mocked aloud. Some were crying aloud, not in sympathy for the man being punished, but the joy of victory that the day they have longed to come had finally shown. The indescribable emotions of triumph made their hearts cry for joy at the sight of their torm
“I am just going to inform them. I think if I ask them about their opinion there will never be a solid answer from them because most of them would not agree with me and this might spark trouble with anyone next to them who would agree with my idea and it will create another chaos,” Ethan answered.“Then, you better tell them that if you continue with the hundred floggings, there will never be a chance to do the next punishment because he will die. So you are to choose if they want to see Borasco die from the first one, or if they want to see this man get every punishment he deserved. That is why we all have to agree that half of the flogging counts be given to his son, the Crown Prince,” Lexy stated discretely.Ethan did as Lexy had suggested. He even chose to say the exact same words Lexy had mentioned. The crowd reacted in a loud uproar of various comments, utterances, and statements. Some of them agreed while some did not. But most of those that wanted to see Borasco being executed
Eula could not find it in her heart to feel sympathy. She would be lying if she said she was sorry for what happened to this cruel and wicked man. As a matter of fact, all she could feel was a relief that this man's tyranny had finally ended.Yet again, since she could see her son, Mauricio, was crying so pitifully. Eula could not help feeling like her heart was being crushed. The mother noticed that her son had somehow changed; so suddenly. In Eula's eyes, Mauricio looked like a man with a renewed heart. She was aware that the renewal of Mauricio's spirit was the only way he could step out of that realm where he was kept the whole time Eula was meditating and interceding for him.But she had only prayed for the most that were needed, and with great urgency, Eula did not get to imagine what a changed and renewed Mauricio would have looked like. After what happened to him in that realm, he somehow had this indescribable and inexplicable emotional connection with his father. It was deep
The vampires just realized they missed the chance to attack when the lycan kingdom was focused on watching and witnessing the end of the mighty and unbeatable King Borasco. The vampires found their slaves gathered in one place and were about to attack the lycan Kingdom on their own. They stepped forward to fulfill their deal but also with the hideous desire to make use of this chance to boldly kill as many lycans as they could. Weaken their enemy and bring fear to every other creature that would hear about the victory of the vampires against the lycans. “We don’t have to bother what or how they are feeling about this event. It is our chance to attack. We will start as soon as the sun goes down!”A loud roar filled the whole place. They were in a cave. It was where the vampires would gather their slaves when they had anything to announce, but this time, the creatures did not even wait for their masters to show up. Not all of them came since it was mid-day when the rest of the creature
Lexy’s eyes followed where Ethan was looking. “What on earth…? Is going on?” Just like Ethan, she gasped with what her eyes seemed to be seeing. She even had to blink a few more times and widen her eyes to make sure she was not mistaken. “I feel like I am watching a marvel movie here or something.” “I am not sure I even know what to say with what my eyes can see,” Ethan did not know which direction to look in as the sound of screaming seemed to spread all over the place. He had to focus to get a grasp of what was happening. “Babe, I’m not sure I have seen this before….” Ethan did not get to finish his words before Aldric made his way to come forward without complete transformation. “I have heard about them, but just like Ethan, I have not seen vampires all my existence,” Lexy heard Aldric’s voice. “What?!” Lexy asked in surprise. “Look! Look over there!” Aldric raised his chin to his right, also a direction on Lexy’s right, outside the car window. “What are they doing?” Lexy
Ethan was speechless. He could not conceal or hide his embarrassment. He seemed to have forgotten that his mate, his baby girl, could take them wherever she wanted to go without worrying about anything. Being inside a heavily tinted car could perfectly hide her from the world's eyes around if she wanted to leave that place without stepping out of the vehicle. As for Ethan, he would usually have to park his car somewhere hidden or at home to be more secure and be cautious not to let anyone see him shift into his lycan form whenever he wants to go anywhere with the use of his supernatural abilities, or if he wants to the get into the Lycan Kingdom like he needed to do as soon as he felt the threat of a war brewing through Lexy's visions. Ethan thought he would have to go home and walk out the back door and take the path he used to when searching for his Baby girl for months. The man thought he had to get home, park his car safely in his garage, walk out of his backyard, get into the wo
Ethan could not deny he did not oversee the need of the rest of the warriors to prepare for battle rather than standing there doing nothing. "Thank you for suggesting. I have told you, I may know what to do. Still, they would merely reflect as a theory because I have never been to such war, nor have I ever planned to win one," Ethan blew his breath worriedly as he made his honest thoughts known to the immediate leaders of the royal warriors. "We understand," Alpha Lisbon answered. "Please, don't worry about that."The chief of the warriors did not even need to do anything aside from giving the next-in-line men a meaningful glance when he got permission from the King to do as he requested. And when the rest of the warriors left, the warrior leaders and the royal couple continued to play their heads together about how they were going to handle the threat of peace in the kingdom without causing more than bearable losses. "Alpha Lisbon, can I show you something?" Lexy asked. She gave Et
“What shall we do?” asked another lycan warrior leader. “We should let them think we do not know they are coming. Evacuate everyone to a place where mages and everyone with the ability to create a shield to keep everyone inside it hidden and securely protected. At the same time, some of the warriors clothe and act as commoners.”“What if they fight back?” Asked Alpha Oliver. “If it can’t be avoided, do not risk your life in exchange for theirs,” Aldric answered. “But as much as we can, I hope to solve this matter without unnecessary deaths.”Everyone nodded affirmatively. They seemed to be tired of seeing so many people or creatures die. These warriors almost felt like it was part of their existence to get their hands smeared with death’s blood, but ever since they had an encounter with the Moon Goddess, their darkened hearts and souls seemed to have been refreshed and renewed. They could not deny nor disagree with the New King’s goals, motives, and intentions. “It’s only mid in th
