Seeing her being treated like that set my veins on fire. I wanted to rip the heads of the guards that held her. If only they knew, my father would never treat her so poorly if he knew what she meant to me.My soulmate.My better half would be dead by dawn and I can't do anything about it. Choosing her would mean going against my father's decree and I'll lose my title. On the other hand, is there a life worth living for me without her in it? We've only known each other for a few months but in those times I've gotten used to the comfort she brings me when she's near. The sweet scent of apples and orchids were intoxicating and I couldn't get enough of it.I was at war with my mind as every fibre in my body begged to attack. I was getting too angry and I needed to cool down fast before I commit mass murder in my own court. I knew for a fact that she played no part in this because the moment I announced to her that she was accused of murder her heart stopped and I felt a strong emotion. No
We had been walking for about fifteen minutes when we saw houses begin to appear between the trees. Raver ducked slightly, slowing his carefully calculated steps to reduce the amount of noise he made, the rest of us following suit. First I heard the sound of rough voices shouting orders back and forth before a flash of steel armour passed near the alley we were standing in, running past as the darkness cloaked us from the busy street. I sucked in a breath as my name rang through the crowd, followed by Raver, Hunter, and Remmi as the guards alerted the crowd of our disappearance. That there were wanted criminals on the loose. As bad as the situation was I couldn't help the adrenaline that rushed through me at the thought of having to outrun all these guards to escape. I smiled as I motioned to the other alley next to ours, it was much darker, and fewer people stood near it. We sprinted over, walking until we came to a dead-end where a wall towered over us. "Help me up," I said to
Earth is exactly how I left it.Leaving that dark cave for what I hope was the last time was both a blessing and a curse. It felt amazing to finally feel the familiar warmth of the earth's sun, but at the same time, this world has brought me nothing but pain for my whole life leading up to this point.From being an orphan and being used to gain people's affection, even being surrounded by fake people who only talk to me because of my status. I hated everything about my life here.I don't think I'm ready to face it again.But I suppose it was bound to happen, these things always have a way of resurfacing after all. You can never truly run away from your problems, they always have a way of coming back to bite you in the ass.Right now we were facing the problem of finding somewhere to crash as showing up at my parents' house with a naked stranger and three other persons suspiciously wearing cloaks was out of the question. That was when an idea came to mind."My parents have a cabin in
"I'm here, don't try to call me. You know I hate that dumb ritual summoning bullshit you idiots like doing," I climb through the small window I had been watching King Gabriel through as he comforted his wife."You bitch! You never mentioned anything about this child of destruction," the baby began to cry in the queen's arm which brought her to swaddle it on her way out of the room after bowing to me, to which I smiled in appreciation.She's always been, my favourite human. She deserves so much better than Gabriel but prophecies and all that telling the future bullshit means can never interfere with love.Which explains why Amiya has such a big fucking ego. She thinks she's special because she's the goddess of love but she's just an over-glorified, man-stealing prostitute.Gods, I hate her."I'm going to excuse the way you're speaking to me right now because you're shit faced but if you don't watch your tone I'll give you the nastiest STD you've ever gotten, and I know you've had a lot
"Well that gave us absolutely nothing," Hunter threw his arms into the air before throwing himself onto the couch in exhaustion, "All this story told us was that Xavier was an alcoholic and Sophane had horrible taste in men."After finding the book in that cave we all headed back to the house, reading through what we could and attempting to find any hints that suggest where the siren realm might be.I grabbed the book from Remmi's hands and flipped through the pages of the journal filled with beautiful cursive writing. The book was consisted of writing with the ink mostly washed away or pages that somehow went missing, but Remmi did her best to read out the first couple of pages before everything turned to a blurry mess."Are you sure this was all there was in that cave? " Leo questioned."Well we did look everywhere..." She paused in thought before continuing, "What about you, you were there for weeks, you should know what's in every nook and cranny of that place.""I was practically
I felt something passing through that rift. Like a piece of my being was returned to me. For some reason, I felt clarity and peace of mind hit me like a thousand waves. The cause for this sudden sensation is completely unknown but something tells me I'll find out really soon. I looked around, only to realize we were walking on the water. No land, just miles and miles of water. Above us was a clear blue sky mirroring the glossy surface of the vast ocean. Apart from the obvious lack of land and signs of life, there was something calming about this realm that I really enjoyed. "What is this?" "It looks a lot like glass but I could see the water moving below it." "So it's like a barrier then?" "Yeah, I think we should try to find land." "Where do we go now?" "We should all split up and-" "No, I think we have to go down." I interrupted Raver. I felt their stares but I paid them no mind as my mind looked for how I knew that. For some reason, it just felt familiar to me. As if I've
"Raver no!" I shrieked but my cries fell on deaf eyes as he landed on Kai, fully intending to claw his way beneath his skin. But that didn't happen. Before he could do any lethal damages, Hunter and Leo yanked him off and slammed him into the ground, pinning him in place. Raver thrashed about but he fail to break free of the two warriors that restrain him."There will be order in my court!" The Queen shouted and the whole room grew quiet. She radiated immense power, which could be why not a soul moved. Not even Raver as she made her way towards him."Who are you and what makes you think you can stop a union set before your time?" She towered over him showing nothing but poise and elegance as she does. "I am Raver, King of Lycanthop, Ruler of all Were-kind," He looked over at me before he continued, "And the day I let you hand her over to anyone but me, is the day hell freezes over," He growled."Where it concerns my daughter, I'll be the one to decide what becomes of her fate," Mal
I made my way to the palace in a rush to find my mother in the throne room addressing the general of her army who was about to give his report on the situation.The queen noticed my presence as I entered and gestured to the seat beside her which wasn't there before. It was the same silver chair she sat on, only mine was slightly shorter.I took in a deep breath before sitting beside her, nodding politely to the general who gave me a small smile. His second in command did the same, only he gave a slight bow in my direction."You may speak, now.""Yes, your majesty. One of my men on patrol of the rift found a shadow lurking on the other side of it. As part of his duty, he venture through the rift and found three men of lykan descent waiting on the other side who ambushed him. He was able to take them on, luckily but was left greatly injured. We brought them through to investigate since we think they are likely to be scouts. We haven't been able to confirm anything since they are still v
