KING ARCHIE’S POVIt's been three days and still, I received no news from the men I had sent out ever since I received that letter. It's been three days since I asked some gammas to go out of Royal Hills and search every nook and cranny of The Wereland to get my mom. The former queen and Luna of all Lunas had gone missing… Why else would my pigeon return to me with the exact letter i sent him? Yes, he brought back the same letter I wrote to my mom and sent it out with him to deliver. The only reason my pigeon would have returned with a royal letter without delivering it has to be one of the two that I and some of my men had discussed over the past few days.One, My family pigeon couldn't find my mom anywhere in the Wereland which would have been a bit reassuring if I had felt her use her royal key to visit another dimension. But she didn't leave the Wereland… so where could she be? Secondly, my mother was dead. It was either the first or the second. I would have been sure if I stil
AMANISA’S POV Unconsciously, I felt every bit of the process. I felt him enter the room which was unlike others that I couldn’t sense due to my condition but with him, even though I wasn’t fully conscious, I could perceive him just like I could sense my heart beating against my ribcage. It was impossible to miss the moment he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into his warmth. There were no tingles and sparks weren’t flying around, but his touch ignited life within me. I found myself fighting the darkness of unconsciousness rather than embracing or chasing it. I perceived the scent of his Royal blood when he bit himself. In fact, the scent of that made me feel more alive and I struggled with pain to escape the state I was in. Lying in his arms, mild conscious and in pain, I anticipated the second he would drop his blood into my mouth. The effect might be bad for me but I knew that I couldn't die like this. He finally brought his bleeding hand to my mouth and instinctively,
KING ARCHIE’S POV“What in the Wereland was that?”Jay broke the silence after I entered my chambers. My eyes scanned the room and as expected Delta Ardin was still waiting for me in my room. My erratic breath couldn't be tamed neither could I hide my disheveled appearance. Also, I couldn't turn a deaf ear to my lycan spirit’s question. However, I didn't know what the hell that energy was.“I don't know, Jay. it was intense and fightable. Its hold on me and my actions were unbreakable and irresistible. It even made me forget my worries-”“I was right to call her a pain reliever. How did that happen? At the end of the process, she was still herself except she also felt the strange pull towards you. It wasn't a pull between a king and a subject.” Jay explained the obvious but I didn't stop him, “it’s was more like a pull between marked mates.”He was right.The pull was so synonymous with the mate pull. It was strong enough to make me think less of my mother and more of Amanisa as I c
AMANISA’S POV This moment will forever be a part of my memory. And trust me, I had a long list of memories that I would never forget. “Do you have a problem with my order, Princess Violet? Will you like to take Amanisa’s place and duties while she represents you in the palace?” King Archie was beginning to rub off on me and for his reaction, the first impression that I had of him had started fading. The shock on Princess Violet’s face made the whole scenario even more memorable. “Of course not, King Archie. I was just saying-” “Let’s discuss more when I return from my Trip, Princess Violet. I have pressing matters to attend to.” Again, King Archie cut off his chosen mate and he turned away from her and beckoned on me to follow him to the Royal chariot that was waiting close to the palace gate. Princess Violet was clearly wondering how I was able to escape death without the antidote that she chose not to provide. I smiled evilly at the Chosen Princess before spinning around…
AMANISA’S POV He boasted that no one or no force could stop him from entering the tomb but the moment King Archie took steps towards the entrance of the tomb, he was stopped. Stopped by a force that should be on his side. While I thought of all the ways this visit could go wrong and affect me terribly. “What do you think you are doing? You have the audacity to block the way of a king!” Lycan King Archie yelled. I felt his voice resound through my body. The vibration of it shook my body even though I didn't tremble or cower as he dominated the vicinity. His men, that have blocked the entrance to stop him from entering the tomb since it was against the traditions of the Lycans, trembled and bowed, showing that they were still submitted to King Archie’s authority. “Forgive me, My king but this is for the safety of the land and the safety of our King. We can’t let you enter the Royal Tomb against the traditions of the Wereland and that of the Lycans.” Delta Ardin exclaimed after fal
KING ARCHIE’S POV I shouldn't be here but what could I have done? My usually rigid heart thumped against my usual ribcage as fear coursed through me as if it was my blood. “The future Lycan King shouldn't be scared, Kovan. You have to be strong.” My mother used to say when I was still the crowned Lycan Prince. She was more involved in my training than my father who was always busy with the realm's affairs and fighting his demons. She had made me who I had become but she also forgot to make me love her less. My mother was the only woman, whose life I was scared for. My fear wasn't connected to the spookiness of the Royal Lycan tomb nor was it because of the superstition that was connected to this place. I was frightened that I would find my mother within this tomb… Dead or alive. The reason I sent Amanisa to the other side of the tomb wasn't because I wanted to cover more ground but It was because I needed to get away from her and pull myself together before beginning my search.
AMANISA’S POVIt was high time I let it all out. The emotions and the darkness that I had always embraced. It was time to let it all out and truth be told, I couldn't keep it in anymore. The spiritual energy in the tomb was digging its claws into my being.I doubted that anyone would be calm if they find themselves in my position.I doubted that any sane individual would be able to keep up the fake mask… the kind of fakeness that I had been exhibiting. I wasn't really fake. I was just a Lost princess living the life of a slave.My eyes were brimming with tears as I kept my hard glare on the man that had benefitted from every misery that I had been caused to endure. To make matters worse, his father's final resting place was right beside that of my father. To hell with the traditions of the Lycans. How the hell did they allow a traitor to rest in the tomb of royal Lycans? How the hell did a traitor gain the right to rest in peace? Kovan’s father was the man that ruled after my fathe
KING ARCHIE’S POV“Stay with me, Ama…. Please.”I pleaded because I knew that deep down, I couldn’t bear to lose her. Not now… not when I was searching for my mom who could have lost her life.Whatever happened in the tomb was still unfathomable but one thing was for sure, Amanisa knew more than I thought she would ever know. She used to live in Royal Hills and she was friends with Princess Isidora— the only Royal with an unsealed tomb.Moreover, whatever happened in the tomb made me even more connected to Amanisa. The tingles I felt when I lifted her collapsing frame into my arms were out of the world. My heart constricted rapidly and it became so hard to breathe as I ran out of the tomb after pushing the rocky door open. “She could be our fated mate, Kovan. She is just so…”Jay started speaking but he didn't finish. He was as confused as I was. Even if I confirm that Amanisa was indeed my destined mate, I would have to keep that a secret. Even if she wasn't my destined mate, we bo
