Who is that man?
It was now exactly 9.00 am and the bell was ringing.
The Lakewood kingdom had a bell that was only rung in cases of emergencies and whenever the kingdom had an important event.And so, it was a rare occasion to hear the sound of the bell.The bell had been built years ago and even though it was rarely ever used, every member of the Lakewood kingdom knew what it meant.And so on the morning of the battle for the throne, at exactly 9.00 am, Sir Theophilus who was the head of the council of chiefs gave the order for the ringing of the bell.
There were designated people who had already been stationed at the tower where the bell was and as soon as sir Teo gave the signal, they banged on the bell and the bell rang all around the kingdom.What followed the sound of the bell was absolute silence especially on the battlefield. Everyone was absolutely quiet because that sound signaled the beginning of the event that was about to take place.

The Twin Alpha's Curse Let the battle begin
“King Barroc,” the name was still on Emelda’s lips when she heard the announcer calling out to the two participants in the game, Darius and Lucius.“And calling, the firstborn son of Cyrus the great, ALPHA DARIUS,” The announcer called and the crowd went into a frenzy as everyone was shouting, sheering while a few were booing,” Darius matched into the battlefield and he raised his hands to the crowd. The crowd seemed to love the gesture because they screamed in ecstasy as Darius raised his hands.“And announcing,” the announcer continued, “the second-born son of Cyrus the great, KING LUCIUS,” the announcer called and for the second time within one minute, the crowd growled again and screamed from the top of their voices as Lucius came out.Emelda was a little surprised at the support that Lucius was getting, the crowd had cheered for him in the same way as they had cheered for Darius and Emelda was happy for
The Twin Alpha's Curse The battle for the throne
The crowd went silent immediately the announcer spoke, everyone was still and even the air around the battlefield was stale. The only noise that was heard by anyone at that time was the noise from the birds that were flying in the sky. It stayed that way for minutes until LUCIUS, the king of the Lakewood kingdom charged at his brother, DARIUS.Everyone had expected Darius to be the one to make the first move but Lucius had taken them by surprise and the minute Lucius started running towards his brother, the crowd started shouting in excitement. Everyone was at the edge of their seats.In Lucius’s mind, this was a delicate moment and he had to prove that he was as fit as Darius as they battled. The rules had said that none of them was supposed to shift into their wolf and Lucius had found it sarcastic because they all knew that only one of them could shift but still, he appreciated the gesture. After all, Lucius also had as many fighting skills as his brother.
The Twin Alpha's Curse Is she breathing?
The dagger went through Emelda’s chest and she instantly went lifeless. Shock registered through Darius’s body as he took a few steps away. Darius was shocked and instantly traumatized. He hadn't seen her coming until she threw herself on top of Lucius.“How did it happen?” Darius thought to himself.He backed away as his eyes scanned the situation. Fear was all over him because of the fear of what he had just done.The special weapon that had been given to him by King Barroc was the weapon he used to stab Emelda and that meant that there was no way she could survive it.Fear surrounded Darius’s heart and his first instinct was to run far away from there and to hide.But that was not the kind of person that Darius was, he wasn't raised to run away from danger.But still, he was in so much shock and his brain was in a fog, he didn't know what to do.Darius had fought in several battles, along with his father and he ha
The Twin Alpha's Curse We have to find a way
Emelda was now in her bedroom where the medics put her on her bed. They had asked her maid, Vera, to come with them and Vera was then instructed to help Emelda out of the clothes she was wearing and into something more comfortable.The senior housemaid had come in with Vera, it was an urgent and Serious matter and Vera couldn't undress Emelda alone.Everyone except the medics had to wait outside as Vera and her supervisor changed Emelda’s clothes into a simple and easy flowing nightdress, they wrapped her hair in a scarf and tied it loosely around her head.Standing outside by Emelda’s door were Sir Sule, Darius, and Lucius.The three men had been told to wait outside as Emelda got changed from her previous clothes and into a simple nightdress. And that was the first time they got the opportunity to look at each other, face to face.There was already tension brewing between both brothers. Lucius could visibly be seen breathing heavily, an
The Twin Alpha's Curse The blade's Crest
Without uttering another word, Lucius, Darius and Sir Sule went back into the room where the medics had placed her on a drip.Lucius’s eyes strayed to the drip and he watched as the little drops of liquid fell one after the other into Emelda’s body. Emelda’s eyes were shut and Lucius watched her closely to catch a breath from her, one even but he struggled to catch it. And then, Lucius bent to kiss her on the forehead and that was when he felt the hot hair from her nostrils touching his face. The air was cool and slow but it was there. And Lucius was glad because that meant that she was still alive with him in this world.“So what’s the prediction? Why isn't she waking up?” Darius asked the medics. Like Lucius, Darius was also deeply concerned about Emelda and if anyone had taken one look at him the whole time, they would have noticed the crease at the top of his forehead. The lines on his face had grown deeper and longer and h
The Twin Alpha's Curse Which of my sons is dead?
It had been over two hours since Sir Sule had left Cyrus’s bedroom and in that time, Cyrus had paced around in his room. Cyrus still experienced some sort of pain anytime he attempted to walk but that didn't stop him from moving around in his room.He was apprehensive and he had good reason to be because he was the man who was waiting for the news about the death of one of his sons.And that was not a good place to be in.His food had been brought in earlier and Cyrus had almost beaten the manservant who came with the food. He had barked at him so much that the man had hurriedly left the chambers with the food tray still in his hands.Cyrus wasn't in the mood for anything, talk less of eating and so he paced around in his room in a bid to calm his anxiety.And then he heard his door open hastily and before he turned around, he already knew who it was. He had picked up on the person’s scent even before the person opened the door.It
The Twin Alpha's Curse Cyrus is out of control
There have been several times when Cyrus has requested the presence of the chief priest in his bedroom or anywhere else. And even though the chief priest had shown up timely on all occasions, there wasn't any occasion where the chief priest was as fast as this time.In less than ten minutes after his order, both Sule and the chief priest were back in Cyrus’s bedroom.Cyrus was standing with his eyes looking down on the table where the blade was as he tried to imagine what exactly was going on. He had known for years that the silver lake kingdom was trying to get back with the Lakewood kingdom but their barn was a permanent one and no king in his right senses would have allowed it.So as Darius stared at the knife, he wondered why Darius had even granted his audience to King Barroc.Cyrus considered calling Darius as well, he was to answer for what had happened with the weird king and those were the first words out of Cyrus’s mouth the mo
The Twin Alpha's Curse The blade controls you
Cyrus’s brain seemed like it was clouded in a fog as he tried to remember the last few minutes. He was able to pick on bits and pieces but that was it and he could also remember that he had briefly shifted into his wolf form.He could see some burn marks on his skin and they resembled the kind of marks that were left after he had come in contact with wolfsbane. And then very slowly, Cyrus’s memory came to him and he started to get bits and pieces of what had transpired in his bedroom.“Your highness,” Sule was the first to speak up, “you were out of control for a moment and we had to stabilize you somehow. That was why the chief priest used some wolfsbane on you. Accept our apologies, your highness,” Sule explained.“There is no need to apologize, Sule, I remember faintly what happened and if anyone should be the one apologizing, it should be me,” Cyrus replied.“I’m sorry for losing control,
