After King Lucius had made passionate love to Emelda, he cuddled up with her and watched her sleep off in his arms. And he watched her, for some minutes and when he had made sure that she was sound asleep, he snuck out of her bed and tip-toed out of her room.It was now time to prepare for battle.But then, Emelda hadn't been asleep, it had looked like she was asleep but what was going on with her was something different that no ordinary human or wolf could understand. It was a witch thing and even at that, all witches didn’t get to experience it. But Emelda was a powerful witch and she could reach out to all realms of the magic kingdom.She was in a WITCH-GLAZE.The first time Emelda had experienced a witch-glaze was when she was eight years old. it had been a very scary experience for her because it had been as if her spirit was outside her body and she could travel into the future to see what was about to happen.A

Alpha Darius’s history and perception of Emelda centered around the fact that she was a witch and was from a witch bloodline. Her grandmother had also brought on the curse that was plaguing the kingdom and so those words coming out of her mouth made Darius think that Emelda had somehow found a way to kill his father.And he didn’t like that.So, Darius reacted in the exact way he would have if he had found out that a witch killed any member of his family.He lashed out at Emelda and in one swift instance, Darius shoved Emelda’s small frame against the wall, pressing her neck with his hands, strangling her.Emelda was shocked about the reaction so her first instinct hadn’t been to use magic, she was just struggling to get away from his grip. Emelda was a wolf, just like Darius but her strength couldn’t be compared to his’ on any level.Darius lifted her off the ground with her back against the wall and his hand still arou

Emelda’s wolf, Sasha ran hard and fast till she got to Darius, and then she shifted back to her human form after she had gotten to him. Emelda had taken the underground tunnels when she ran out of the palace. As she was leaving, she had known that there was a possibility that she could get hurt because she was diving straight into a battle that she hadn’t prepared for but she couldn’t afford to remain back at the palace, especially since she had something to settle there in person.Emelda was the only one who knew that King Cyrus could be saved and she was scared of the things that could go wrong if she wasn’t there in person to bring him back. she also wanted to make sure that the Lakewood people didn’t accidentally bury the body.And so, against her better judgment, Emelda had run out of the palace and ran straight to the palace gates where the battle was already going on.Then she saw Darius, he was about to kill Gedoni and Emeld

Emelda and Darius entered the sanctuary at the same time and as he said, all the senior members of the Royal family were already there, including her mate, Lucius.Her eyes went to him first and he smiled at her with a little nod, a little gesture that reassured her that everything was okay.Emelda had never been in such a room before and now that she was there, she was a little bit intimidated. One factor that towered over her was the council of chiefs. She had heard tales of them while growing up, they were the wise men of the Lakewood kingdom and the king always reached out to them for important matters.There were also other family members seated in the sanctuary and for the first time since she got the extra powers from her mum and from the witches in her lineage, Emelda doubted herself. What if she couldn’t do it? what if it didn’t work? And even if it worked, did he deserve it? she genuinely wanted to help the palace but now that the time ha

“I have sent someone to get the palace physician,” Sule said to Darius and Lucius immediately after they had taken Cyrus into his bedroom.“Yes, I think that is a good idea. He looked weak to me and he had already been through so much so we need the physician to take a look at him.” Lucius replied Sule.“I’ll be by his side for the rest of the day. You two need to lead the troops back to the woods so you can trap Tobias and his men. They wouldn’t have gone so far so we can still get them.” Sule continued.Alpha Darius agreed, “you are right Sule, we need to go after them. They can’t be allowed to get away with everything they have done.”Darius walked away from his brother and Sule and he ran down the stairs and towards the soldier’s yard.But as he left, he couldn’t help but think about how His father looked weak and had grown twenty years older.Darius didn&rsquo
