"You want to know what secrets I am hiding?" Dacre asked and I swallowed nervously. I nodded my head. "Well then you should submit to me," He said as his eyes darkened. "Submit?"

There was once a time eons ago when a handsome prince walked through the wide open gates and marched towards the castle.
Nobody was around and that was how he liked it. Solitude was how he managed to bury the chaos within him.
However, the moment he set foot inside the gate, he sensed a presence.
Instantly, his posture went rigid and his footsteps echoed through the wide space, the sound of his shoes’ heels clattering on the glassy surface of the ground, bouncing off the walls and further amplifying the noise.
He was angry…he was fuming in rage.
His handsome face was now turned into a scowl and the clouds above mirrored his dark mood instantly. The whites of the cloud were replaced by grey and soon they began thundering, in tandem with the footsteps of the prince.
There was only one thing on his mind…vengeance.
Curling his hands into fists he kept advancing ahead, slamming the wide and large doors of the palace open just with a thought. He didn’t even have to use his hands to make it happen.
The doors crashed into the walls behind them with a booming voice, almost throwing splinters around but the being sitting on the far end of the hall paid no heed.
A vein throbbed in his forehead signifying how much he loathed to see the person sitting on the throne.
His throne.
She was an otherworldly beauty, a sight to behold and she was currently sprawled across the throne, her heels tapping against the floor when she moved. The folds of her large, pale blue gown rustled as she crossed her legs.
His rage was emanating from him like a whiff of smoke, angry and charred yet she refused to look in his direction.
Her long silky hair cascaded down her back like a river and her dress glittered as if it was made of the stars themselves.
Maybe, it was.
A thigh high slit revealed her long, slender legs as the dress’s folds fell on either side of her as if it was made of liquid silk.
She knew his eyes were on her so she slowly raised her hand and placed the tip of her nails painted with the color matching that of the sky. She then began tracing loose circles on her thigh as if she was doing so absent-mindedly.
But, he knew better.
She was caressing her leg, suggestively, her smooth skin glowing radiantly. Her hair fell forward, hiding her beautiful features as her eyelashes fluttered when he raised his hand and smacked the air in front of him.
A wave of air hit her as if he had slapped her with his hand. But other than blinking rapidly, she did nothing else.
“Begone intruder”
He snarled as he continued walking toward her.
That was when she finally raised her head to look at him. Again, she said nothing but her hand now travelled up her slender waist and towards her chest.
She bent a little to adjust her dress’ folds and he was gifted with the sight of her cleavage. Her shimmering, pale blue dress clung to her curves perfectly and left little to the imagination while the low neckline did a lousy job of covering her bosom.
Her fingers trailed the underside of her breast as she stared at him unabashedly tracing slow delicate circles on her skin.
Now he was affected.
He folded his hands over his chest and glared at her as his reaction made a ghost of a smile flash across her face.
Had he not been consumed by rage, he would have ripped that dress apart and taken her then and there. She knew that all too well.
“You want me, don’t you?”
She asked in a seductive voice and he clicked his tongue reproachfully. He wanted to look away but that would only tell her that he was affected…of how much he wanted to throw her back on the throne and let his hands roam on her bare skin…of how much he wanted to…
He shook his head as if to clear the intrusive thoughts in his head.
“Leave before I throw you out” He scowled but she paid no heed to his insult. Instead, she continued to smile.
“I hope you know that you will have to touch me to do that, your highness.”
She stressed the last two words longer than necessary, her voice dripping with mirth.
If she had meant to make his scowl turn uglier, she failed. In an unexpected reaction, he let out a chuckle that soon turned into a laugh.
For a moment, she forgot everything else and kept staring at him like a curious bird.
His face lit up like the sun when he laughed, and he clutched his stomach to stop himself. His eyes watered and he wiped them off with the back of his hand.
Her smile faded and she got up from the throne and began descending the steps. She was truly ethereal and her hips swayed from left to right as her heels clinked against the floor.
Slowly, like a gazelle, she approached him and raised her hand to place it on his chest right above his heart which was beating wildly.
He shuddered at the touch and clenched his jaw as his eyes fell close for a short moment. She observed his face, the numerous scars etched on his skin that had now faded with time, leaving only faint lines behind.
Those scars made him look even more handsome, more princely.
After taking a moment to calm his heart, he asked, “You think I want this palace? The riches?” referring to the way she had taken a jibe at his title.
He waited just for a moment before answering, “Then I’ll reduce the palace to ashes”
No sooner had he said so, flames erupted all around them. He had set his palace on fire.
It was of no use to him now that she had set her foot in here. The flames danced around them, as the palace began to slowly crumble.
The throne behind them was being devoured by angry flames as he grit his teeth, “I will do anything to get rid of you….anything.”
She saw the flames mirrored in his eyes that were devoid of all emotions except hatred. She closed the distance between them, their lips just a hair’s breadth away as she whispered,
“And, I will do anything to make you mine”
She smiled as she dug her nails into his chest which began to bleed.
“Anything”
I spoke and Venzara stopped making Mary slap herself. “Fine. well, they were a notorious specimen to instigate and their leader was particularly hard to coax but I managed to throw the blame on them by filling their heads with awful things about those in power. I wanted Klout and the other four guardians out of power so that I could reign single handedly.” Klout yelled loudly, “Just take her away from my eyes or I will kill her right here and right now.” He was teeming with anger. All of us had been fooled by a single woman- a power hungry, ruthless woman. Not demons not witches but one of us. Then Mary again shuddered and I felt the silky dress of Venzara brush against me as MAry howled, “What? What is happening? Why am I being held by the guards? Sir, the boys are at fault?” Mary cried as Venzara chuckled beside me. Klout slapped Mary hard and spoke, “You are going to be executed for your crimes. Take her away from my sight.” He barked and then also instructed the guards t
DacreHer earlier pitiful voice was replaced by her usual smug and arrogant expression for a while.“That was for what you did to my sister. Yes, my sister was one of the women you murdered and I have been keeping an eye on you ever since then.”Mary raised her hand to slap Mrs. Bryant as we all simply stared at the revelation, too confused to understand what was going on.A familiar voice spoke in my head, “Sorry, but this woman just drove me out of this hag’s body by startling me.”I scoffed.So, even the demoness could be startled.That was why Mary’s expression had suddenly changed.But then it went back to being all sorry and pitiful yet again as Mary continued, “Yes, I deserve all the hate. I have done awful things to get into power. At first, I wanted to be luna but Thaddeus was too dumb to take notice of me. He was busy fucking around women so that played in my favor. But then I realized he was not respected much so when one of the other elders of the pack got suspicious of me
DacreShe then turned to us, “what matters is what punishment you would give to these boys for violating dozens of our laws and putting the lives of every werewolf in jeopardy.”Mary droned on and on while I tried hard to maintain a stoic expression.My eyes flicked to Silas who was staring at her with a murderous expression.He mind linked to me, “how long are we going to sit quietly and let her sing hymns of our glorious betrayal to the werewolf kind?”I let out a sigh, “I want to find out if the council head is in this too.”“I mean yeah he is a shithead but would he really be involved in it?”Silas asked and I shrugged, “you never know”We fell silent as Mary presented her case in front of Klout who looked down at us with distaste.“Do you have anything to plead guilty to? I will not be impartial to you. It is against the council’s belief in fair justice.”I got up from the ground and looked him straight in the eye.“I and Silas were chosen for this mission from the get go and so
DacreSilas gave me an understanding look,“I think she mixed something in my food from time to time to make me sleep and then she would tell father of what a lazy son he had. He obviously believed her and I was caned and whipped on occasion.She told him that this was necessary for the future alpha to be strong and dominating.”“What?”This time it was Venzara who shrieked and I gave a humorless chuckle.“Yeah, I only remember bits and pieces of it. Thankfully, one elder saw her mixing something in my food and discovered it to be sleeping pills. Mary was thrown out and I never saw her again. I was too young to voice out my worries as everybody was extremely afraid of dad and his anger. Even the elders had to face his ire for whisking away Mary but somehow they got rid of her and dad just went to another woman I guess.”I completed and Silas patted my shoulder, “I…I never knew”That was all he could offer and I heard his voice crack.“I had pushed the memories of my childhood deep int
Dacre“Well, I have figured out a lot of things. Of how, you nearly killed all of the children my father had ever had, of how you poisoned those around my mother and made them abandon her, and of how you tried to take the position of luna in our pack as well.”If she was stunned by my revelation, she did not answer directly.“What rubbish? Your father asked me to be his luna, in fact, he was after me for years, begging me to take up the throne. I hear that he has still not gotten over me and goes from one brothel to another, looking for a woman to fuck or two.”She wheezed and I had a mad urge to smack her right in the face.Ignoring her accusations, I asked, “What do you know of the demon summonings? How are you involved in all of this?She drummed her fingers on a nearby tree trunk and replied, “I am an Inquisitor appointed by the Council head himself. I am here to investigate matters.”Before I could answer, Silas suddenly pointed at her and spoke, “I saw her face…in that file”Her
DacreI felt glad that I did not have to worry about Silas as Venzara and Yesmir would look after him.I increased my speed and tore through the bushes and wild patches of grass, thick shrubs, and thorny trees as the surrounding around me turned into a blur.Soon, the forest began to thin and I saw the first hint of yellow and dried grass that reached my ears.I immediately climbed a small hill to see where exactly we were. The windmill stood like a lone wolf in the distance and I let out a relieved sigh.I had been right about the direction though I had traveled there just once and that too through the road.Silas seemed to be floating in the air with a grumpy look as I feared Venzara was languidly roaming her fingers on him.I could only mind link to him and say, “Patience. We will be there in another twenty minutes or so”He only grunted in response and I stifled a chuckle as I tore through the long yellow grass.We were running through the open with no tall trees to camouflage us
