MEDIEVAL WOLFDOM;
FLAME BLOOD WOLF PACK.
PRINCESS RONA CAMPBELL'S POV
Tomorrow is my seventeenth birthday when I will finally shift.
Well, I was pretty much excited.
There are some rare bloodlines that shift at fifteen or less, but mine was not that privileged.
I didn't mind it though, our wolves were very powerful.
Besides, no matter the age at which you awaken your wolf, the mate function and bond remains dormant till eighteen.
So why the hurry?
I heard lots of people screaming.
Smoke was choking me, almost as if something was burning.
I was probably having a nightmare.
I rolled on the bed as I tried to separate the noise from my dreams, from reality.
However I couldn't.
People kept crying and screaming.
I began to cough severely, making me force my eyes open.
The smoke was not from my nightmare, our castle was on fire!
"Princess wake up!" I heard my mom shout, running into my room.
The sleep immediately disappeared from my eyes, and I quickly sat up in alarm.
My room was filled with smoke, and my mom was crying profusely.
Her clothes were stained with blood and she looked dirty.
I gasped.
My mom, Luna Sophia Campbell, who cared about looks more than anything, looking dirty and messed up like this?
What the fuck happened?
I rushed to my window and threw it open.
I staggered at the sight before me.
A very powerful army was before our gates, they stretched as far as the eye could see.
And they were obviously very powerful, not your average army.
I watched those that have breached the gates and those still scaling the walls.
The western gates close to my chambers, were being attacked, with a fancy looking battering ram, which tore the metallic gate with every impact.
Our soldiers were obviously too weak.
They were torn apart before they could fight, the castle was already on fire!
My heart palpitated wildly as I shook.
How did this happen?
One moment I was sleeping peacefully, and the next moment, this?
How did they cross the borders and get here in one night, without us receiving notifications from the border patrol?
How did they breach the city walls easily?
They cleared the entire city and entered the castle in just a few hours!
It hasn't been long since I went to bed for Godess's sake.
"This is not the time for this, Rona. They are hellbent on leaving no survivors in this attack. They said your father offended the Royal wolf emperor. He's here to punish us by exterminating our tribe. You're our only hope. You're my only child. I won't let you die with the rest. You must leave. They are already inside the castle, they're headed towards the main palace. You need to leave before they realize it," my mom said, sniffing.
She hurriedly gave me a satchel, which she had obviously packed for me.
"Mom, what do you mean? Let's go together" I pleaded.
"Don't be stupid. I'm Luna, if they can't find me, they will immediately realize someone escaped. They will find us. I don't have time to exchange words with you. I went through hell to conceive you, and I will pass through that same hell before I let anyone hurt you!" She shouted, tearing off my nightgown, and hurriedly dressing me in black silk, and then a black fur cloak.
"There are clothes, food, money and a little jewel in the satchel. Use it to survive a bit. There's also a training guide to suppress your wolf. You might not know this, but let me quickly tell you since I might not get another chance to say it. You were supposed to shift at fifteen, but your wolf was too volatile. So we kept giving you drugs to suppress it, till you're seventeen. Your mate function also awoke on your sixteenth birthday. It was the priestess who noticed it. You were too young to understand the feeling. However, we have been monitoring and trapping your wolf, to protect you. But you need to shift now, to be able to protect yourself. Please be wise and very careful. There are two treasures in the bag, try to figure out their use on your own. Also, the pack's main treasures are hidden in the basement that goes down from your chambers. The wolf king will never suspect its' existence. In the future when you're settled, come back for it" she whispered, and dragged me through a series of secret corridors.
I stopped as we walked past a balcony.
My eyes widened at what I'm seeing.
A man in a golden mask and golden armor, was standing before my father, with a sword whose radiance was blindening.
His cape that stretched from his back was made of expensive guanaco, silk and jewels.
He was probably the Royal wolf emperor.
The overlord of werewolves, whom even the Lycan king fears.
His mask looked handsome with a crest on it.
His lips and nose looked like it belonged to someone handsome.
However, this monster will be far from it.
He stood tall and stoic, and I hated myself for being too weak to do anything.
My mom noticed that I stopped following her, and hurriedly ran back to grab my hands.
"Follow me before they notice you" she whispered urgently, but I angrily pushed her hand away.
My father was pushed down to his knees and made to kneel before the royal.
The royal was saying something to him in anger.
He kicked my father's crotch and he flew up in the air, his eyes wide with fear and pain.
I gasped at the viciousness.
Before my father could land back on the floor, the royal slashed out his sword and my father's head rolled off.
I opened my mouth to scream but no sound came out.
Tears kept streaming down my eyes silently, as my mouth kept opening and closing.
My whole body was shaking.
I heard my mother whimper and felt her dragging me through a corridor.
"Make sure you find them! No one escapes!" I heard a voice order.
"Oh Godess! They're looking for us!" My mother cried.
RONA'S POV I was blinded by pain and wanted nothing more than to rush the evil emperor and face him myself. The fact that his men were looking for my mother and I to kill us too, meant nothing to me. My mom dashed into a secret corridor, dragging me along. She was still crying profusely. However, tears never clouded her reasoning, unlike me that's plain confused. My legs were still shaking in horror and I couldn't stop crying. "You will go to your mate's pack to take refuge, I'm sure he will hide and protect you. That's the only option now" my mom whispered, as we entered the tunnel. Mate? What mate? Since when did I have a mate? "Which mate?" I asked my mom, still shivering as she dragged me along. "Alpha Kenzo Stewart of Raven pack is your mate. It has been long we found out, but we blocked you from feeling the mate bond, according to the priestess's directions. However, Kenzo knew you were his mate and tried to claim you. He felt the mate bond during your father's birthd
"Why will the goddess give us such a mate?" My wolf wailed in my mind. "I Alpha Kenzo Stewart, reject you princess Rona Campbell as my mate!" He said coldly. I staggered as pain blinded me. "Now get her for me!" He ordered his men. "In your dreams!" I howled as my wolf took over. My mind went blank immediately, while she took over my consciousness. What I realized next was me back on my horse, escaping in a haste. "Ara, how did you do it? How did we escape?" I asked. A series of memories flashed before me, and I saw her transform and tear the person behind us apart with her claws, before jumping over the blockades, all in a few minutes. She also sprayed something on them that momentarily blinded them, before mounting the horse. "Thank goodness your mom packed the delirious powder for us!" She said, as I increased my pace. Tears dripped down my face at Kenzo's betrayal. Even though I didn't know his identity as my mate, we had gotten close in the past few months, and I regar
RONA'S POV "Princess, princess. Princess wake up already, stop scaring us" I heard someone calling out to me. My head felt woozy as I opened my eyes. "Thank goodness" I saw a young girl, kneeling over me. What the fuck? Where am I? I sat up and looked around. There were men dressed in guards' apparels and armor, in addition to some girls in costly maid apparel. It's obvious that they came from a very rich kingdom or pack. I looked around and saw a body of water stretching as far as the eyes could see. Wait, I fell into water? How did I end up here? Why are they calling me princess? I looked up at them. They all looked pissed off at me and resentful. As if they're being forced to do a chore they hate very much. "Princess, this is becoming too much. The Alpha king is pissed off at you. We had to search for hours before we found you floating at the lake. What if you had gotten washed into the sea before we arrived? You keep throwing silly tantrums! I wonder why you keep re
I found myself walking down a dark stairwell. I came into an abandoned garden and entered a cave. I immediately stopped in my tracks when I saw the source of the attraction. There before me, lay a girl that looks exactly like me, seemingly dead. She was dressed in white silk, almost the same design with the one I wore when I got washed up here. "Wow! You indeed look exactly like me" I heard a voice say. I looked towards the voice and gasped. The girl was standing there with a cute smile. However, her body looked semi transparent. "Who are you?" I asked. "I'm princess Erica Miller, daughter of Alpha king Harvey Miller, of the ice flame territories. Wow, what's your name?" She asked. "Rona," I whispered. "Our names have almost the same meaning. Please help me to resurrect. I have been calling for help to no avail. The only one that could hear me was you, because we share a connection. If you help me, I will give your wolf my ice crystal, to stabilize its condition. I will also
CHAPTER SIX EMPEROR RICHARD'S POV I watched the expressions on Erica's face flicker and change into a plethora of different emotions. She had been very happy and excited. However, the moment she looked up at me, her expression was replaced with fear and disgust. Despite my effort to reassure her, she was still staring at me in horror. I passed my mask silently to my Beta and reached for her. However, she took a step back, avoiding my touch. My eyes narrowed in confusion and I angrily caught her arm. "What the hell is wrong with you? Why do you look so scared of me? What the hell is the fucking problem?" I yelled at her. "Your mask is scary. Let go of me, you look scary" she wailed. I looked at the mask in my Beta's hand in confusion. What is so scary about my golden mask? I sighed. She's a little girl who has always stayed locked up in her father's castle. Things that don't mean a thing to me can probably frighten her. I sighed as the realization that I just got myself
RONA'S POVJasmine led me upstairs.I looked around.It was even more grand than Erica's palace. No, this place was a castle.A mighty one at that.We drove past numerous palaces before we got here.The street walkways were paved with marbles, there were also gardens neatly arranged along the roads and in the palaces. They were filled with exotic flowers, fruit trees and herbs. There were also exotic animals and birds in the gardens. But for some reason, they never leave the garden space to enter the streets. There were also lamps in the gardens and walkways, probably to light up the castle once it's nightfall.The gates were made of gold, brass or bronze. I could see carts filled with goods and products, driven by horses.There were also luxurious carts that had expensive curtains and leather chairs, driving around the castle.I guess they are the powerful nobles in the immortal Heaven Court.However, I'm yet to see anyone with sacred beasts or heavenly beasts or even magical vesse
RONA'S POVI walked into the room and almost gasped out loud. There was a sweet fragrance in the air.The room was wide with sofas, rugs, and pink silk curtains. The bed was very huge and had pink princess curtains which were drawn back and tied to the bedpost.The bed was well made with white and pink sheets.There was a table close to the bed with a lamp stand which was supporting a pink crystal light orb glowing softly. The table was made with expensive wood, some poetry scrolls, ink, inkpad, writing feathers and paper fan was on the table.There were paintings of natural landscapes on the wall. There was an expensive urn containing lavender flowers, there was a golden incense burner, golden lamp stands, the reading chair accompanying the table was cushioned with soft furs and was padded.I touched the pillows and realized they were stuffed with soft feathers.There was a huge mirror on the wall close to the reading desk. There was also a table between the two sofas."Do you like
RONA'S POVI followed Annalise around the dressing room as she admired the array of expensive clothes in the clothes section.I touched some of the fabrics, feeling impressed."Girl, his majesty didn't spare any expense on your wardrobe. He's determined to treat you right. You're blessed by the moon goddess. Even though you didn't shift, he still found you so beautiful and attractive that he left all others and chose you. Meanwhile, other average wolfless werewolves never get a mate or husband. Even their fated mates reject them sometimes. You're damn lucky!" She said with a smile.I smiled sadly.I'm anything but lucky, same with Erica.I lost all my family to Richard's cruelty while Erica lost everything to me.She should have been lucky, but a monster took it all away.I'm probably another monster like Richard."Look at these shoes, just see your shoe rack. They are the most expensive shoes In the world. Your boots are made with sacred beast leather. Wow! Come to the jewelry sectio
