Se connecter"You can not keep running away from yourself." The voice echoed through the thick forest before emitting an eerie laughter that brought chills over her skin.She ran, whimpering in fear. She kept running. She was bruised and tired and shaking so hard she feared she might topple over and kiss the earth hard, ending up with split lips."Xylia... Xylia..." The voice floated over her head but when she risked a glance up, there was no one."Leave me alone!" She continued to run, panting and crying."Stay strong and fight, Xylia." Another voice echoed, this one was calmer and more courageous. "Listen to yourself and stand strong."She shook my head. "You're not real. None of you are real. Let me be."Her steps were lagging, she was tired and weak. She wanted to rest but she could not risk it. She needed to find them. Her mates. They would come to save her.They were strong and had powers. "Kyle! Kayden!" She screamed but somehow knew they were not here. Or maybe they were.She could not tel
"The Creighton pack is bringing war, Alpha." One of the elders ran into the meeting room where he was poring at paperwork.Going through these records, he realized the pack was even sinking more. It was the next morning, and unfortunately, he had yet to come up with an idea of how to go about getting Xylia.The previous one had been tense with the Luna but she was the least of his worries. Last night, for the first time since they got married, he didn't go to her in intimacy.He sharply raised his head. "Why? Where did you get the news from?""I have a close friend who is a member of the pack. He said he overheard their Beta discussing it. The Alpha has gotten news of our...well, the pack's gradual decline and wants to take advantage." Greeting totally forgotten by both werewolves, the elder took a seat opposite the Alpha."What?!" The Creighton pack used to be way below his pack. "How dare they?! The audacity of Alpha Jax!""What are we going to do, Alpha? If the people...""Do not b
"Where have you been, Alpha? I've been looking all over for you." Luna Lily was just stepping out of the bathroom when she spotted him walking into the large bedroom they shared as a couple."I went in search of answers." He began to unbutton his shirt, not really in the mood to talk to anyone.His mind was working on ways to get Xylia back. She was the obvious hope to rescuing his pack. He didn't want to lose his legacy. Thanks to the crazy old witch who was cajoling him into drinking a substance he could not fathom.Who would force anyone to drink or eat in their abode especially when it was the first visit? It was very suspicious. He knew witches were quite crafty and one had to be careful with them.Well, he was gone from that strange cave-house. She had told him what he needed to know. If anything, the way he saw it, she was on the losing side.Oblivious to her husband's thoughts, the Luna climbed into bed and went to him, her knees on the bed whilst his back was to her. "What an
"She just went through the unusual, My King, it's normal for her to act different. Give her some time, I'm sure she'll be back to normal." The wizard advised.He didn't want anyone of the twins to worry themselves. If there was anything unusual, he would need to keep an eye on her.Maybe he was needed here after all if there was going to be any major change. But he was certain whatever change that might occur in her would not be something that wasn't supposed to be there."How much time?" The lycan king was a bit wary about this Xylia."I can't say. That is entirely up to her and her body." The wizard replied."What you said about this mate bond, what did you mean by it?" Not that he believed in whatever the wizard had said back there in their room but it was something he was willing to hear again."What do you mean, My King?""You said she's the core of our bond and how my brother and I can not survive without her. What does that mean?"Istra studied the lycan king's expression and g
Both brothers were so in shock that they could not believe who had spoken and where or how the confidence and courage had sprouted from.But Kayden couldn't be more proud. She had once faced him bravely before, but she could still do it again..."And you Kayden Norman, stop fighting your brother." She turned to the other brother....only he didn't expect her to find fault in his actions which clearly stated he was defending her. He didn't like the tone of her voice and how she'd sounded like a tired mother warning her naughty children."Where is this audacity coming from?" The lycan king was surprised and triggered by anger.But Xylia paid him no mind. "Can you tell me what had happened while I...died?" She was talking to Istra."Your friend can better explain how they had found you on the path leading to that forbidden bush." The wizard told her.Xylia cocked her head and smiled at Gelia who was quiet and minding her business so she didn't make the Lycan king cross. She knew how unfo
“Do you know who the direct descendant of the Moon Goddess is?” The lycan prince asked.The wizard considered the question and how to answer it. He was not sure if it was time, so he opted for a different one from the one he’d wanted to say. “Only the Moon Goddess can tell.”“Oh.” The lycan prince didn’t really understand. He had asked more out of curiosity than the need to understand what the wizard had said.It was an interesting piece of information that the wizard was giving and all these years living with Istra, he’d learned not to ask too many questions, not because he couldn’t or because the wizard would get irritated, but because he somehow knew he would end up more confused.Istra really was not one to just divulge information. The lycan prince had a feeling it had more to do with his respect and reverence to the Moon Goddess whom Istra served, not forgetting the powers that guided him and revealed things to him.Cecilia appeared at the entrance of the room and knocked on the
By now, those in the castle already knew the lycan king's twin brother was back.No one knew the story behind his sudden absence from the kingdom and all who desired to still have their tongues on their mouth or their heads on their shoulders would not dare question the one person who knew - the ly
"I'm not sure I'm following." Xylia's gaze of her second mate was wary.Kayden stepped closer, his towel wrapped firmly around his waist. His body dripped with water, it all the more made him look like some god of the sea fresh out of his aquatic terrain.She swallowed, feeling affected by his near
The lycan king stared dead at his brother for a long while before walking out of the room. He was done arguing, at least for now.But he had to find a way to get his brother out of the kingdom and back to Istra.He was safer there. Something was about to befall them all and he would not want it to
"And you know her?" Kayden's expression spoke of great contempt for his brother.He hated him and wished Kyle was not so powerful. But that didn't matter. He was here now and he was going to learn about this kingdom.He was going to learn to be more powerful, fight his evil brother and be the king
