LOGINKael's p.o.vFreya laid still on the bed, the breathing movement of her chest the only evident sign she was still alive. Lucien continued with whimpering, holding her hand as he sobbed."Freya, my forever. Please, open your eyes. Please, tell me that you forgive me," he cried as his lips trembled effortlessly, his tears dripping over her on the bed. "I never meant any of that...Just please, come back to me," his hand cradled her belly gently. "Come back to us."Both mates were a pitiful sight to see and the more Lucien spoke, the more his tears fell. I have never seen the Alpha King be so broken my whole life. For the first time after Freya's state, she was able to make the slightest movement, a twitching hand movement.Lucien's excitement piqued. "Freya. Freya," his tone was of a squealing child as Freya's eyes fluttered open.Akira, my mother and I inched closer to them by the bed. "Lu—Lucien?" that was the first word she muttered. Despite the ugliness he had made her go through,
Kael's p.o.vA knock came in on Katherine's chamber and Katherine quickly hid me under the bed. She headed for the door and a feminine voice spoke as it swung opened."Katherine ma'am..." she said. "The Alpha King has summoned for a dessert.""A dessert? At this hour?" I overheard Katherine query at the maid."Yes, Katherine. He ordered the dessert be made for just him and the Luna and that you make haste with it.""Ye... Yes, Alora. I'll make sure to get them over with now. Thank you."The door slammed shut and I came out of my hiding place to meet Katherine. "I believe this is a good chance and opportunity, Katherine. We can't afford to miss it."~~The early morning rays bled through the window, casting a warm effect on my face on the bed. My eyes fluttered open to hear the birds chirping instead.How strange? That shouldn't be the noise I should be hearing this instant. Not with Lucien's death promise three days ago or his plan at dawn. And why does the castle seem unusually and
Kael's p.o.v A soft yet sinister scoff escaped from Cassius, his cold stare and eyes never leaving Zephyrine. "So this is it, Zephyrine," he nodded his head thoughtfully. "I see why you have suddenly started to grow wings these days. How you have chosen to forget who you are and how far my power could destroy you if you choose to let it." Zephyrine only rolled her eyes as she heaved a deep sighed, folding her arms in response to Cassius's threats. "Apologize now, Zephyrine," his tone suddenly turned dead cold out of nowhere. "It's an order." "Or what, Cassius?" Her response caused Cassius's mate to scurry down to them, standing in between Zephyrine and him. "What the hell is this madness, Zephyrine?" She retorted her, hoping to bring her to her senses. "Have your lack of potion consumption now have you misbehaving and out of your damn mind?" "Oh, please Amarantha. I'm only stating facts here. I am Lucien's mate and Queen of Luparia," she said proudly like she wouldn't
Kael's p.o.vThe shadows seemed to writhe like living things as their sinister laughter swelled, engulfing me in its chill, yet I remained motionless behind Zephyrine, my awkward smile a poor shield against the malice that filled the air. The discussion, laced with whispers of power and manipulation, revolved around Lucien's play in Freya's fate at the court the other time."What a stupid boy!" Cassius blurted out, cursing out at Lucien with his mead in his hand, his state of mind still obviously conscious. "How stupid of him?"Amarantha's voice was like silk, smooth and deadly, as she purred, "Very stupid," her gaze locking with Cassius's, a silent understanding passing between them. A sly smile spread across her face, her eyes glinting with intrigue, "But who cares? It benefits us," she added, her tone dripping with malice.The manor's dark halls seemed to reverberate with their diabolical laughter, a chilling, mirthless sound that sent shivers down my spine, as if the very walls we
Kael's p.o.v After that night, after I’d left Freya’s cell, I went to see Akira. She’d been sick for a while and could hardly lift a kettle. Her usually vibrant energy was dwindling, and it worried me. I wanted to check in, see if she needed anything, or if there was anything I could do to help. I'd gone to lend a helping hand, to offer some comfort and support to Akira in her time of need. But little did I know, the moon goddess had other plans, whispering secrets in the shadows, weaving a web of fate that would change everything. The night air seemed to vibrate with an otherworldly energy, as if the cosmos itself was conspiring to surprise me. It was a huge surprise. One I never saw coming. She'd been sickening, her body weakening, all because she'd been trying to suppress the primal urge within her. Her wolf, restless and wild, yearning for its other half, its mate. The more she fought it, the more it consumed her, draining her energy, leaving her a shell of her former self
Kael's p.o.v "I can see them now, Kael," Akira urgent whisper cut through the tensed air from afar, hoping I could get the job over with before the court guards finally arrived. "Make haste Kael, the guards are coming." The rope snapped, and she finally collapsed into my arms on the cold, stony ground. "Thank Goddess,'' I breathed, relief washing over me like a tidal wave. Hours of torment, and it was finally over. I held her close, scanning the shadows for any sign of danger. I brushed the back of my hand against her forehead, and a chill ran down my spine. Her skin was ice cold, hypothermia setting in. I ginned my teeth in a mix of worry and awe as I examined her wounds. The lashes on her back were already scabbing over, the bruises fading into faint purple shadows. It was like watching a time-lapse video of healing – I’d never seen anything like it. The cuts still needed dressing, but it was clear her body was doing most of the work itself. Sometimes, I wonder if Lucien had
