Semua Bab The Blood Moon Ascendance : Bab 51 - Bab 60

Mia's POVMy heart beat wildly as Lycidas ran across the vine. Though I couldn't see Mason, I knew he must have already reached the tree and was probably making his way down. He was way too good at rope walking to fall. On the contrary, it was I and Lycidas I feared for. It had only been seconds till I jumped on him, but I now realized what a stupid decision it had been. I didn't know how good he was. We could fall down here and that would be the end of us. A very ridiculous death for two people apparently prophesied to be the savior from the evil clutches of the Silver Hands, even if I still didn't know how the hell Lycidas got it into his head that he was the one prophesied about. "Hey, slow down," I whispered in his ears. The next instant, wind whipped past my ears as his speed instantly increased. I had to stifle a scream. I don't know why he did it, but if it was for mischief, I wasn't about to give him the satisfaction of knowing he scared me no matter how hard my heart beat

Mia's POVMabel looked around at all the corpses lying around the battle site and sighed. "We have to leave the cottage," she said. "Why?" Mason and I asked at the same time. "Because, this place is going to be smelling like hell in a few days time," Lycidas said with an air of overbearing patience, his chest puffed out. I scoffed and turned to Mabel who was smiling slightly. "No. A wave of Corrupted comes in the afternoon and a wave of normal humans comes later at night, that tells you our little lair has been discovered," Mabel said. I cast Lycidas a mocking sidelong glance. "Don't be too fast with your mouth," I told him. "But yes, this place is going to be stinking in a few days time," Mabel added. "Unless we can clear all these corpses. But like I said, we don't have enough time. They will probably send more in the morning if they have got more men in the pack. Otherwise, they would send more in a few days time when they've gotten reinforcement from their headquarters," Ly

Amelia's POV"All these blood…smells delicious," he whispered in my ears, his tone almost reverential. Through the pains clouding my eyes, I saw him look at the pool of blood around me again. His expression quickly soured. "But it's a bit much," he called out to one of the other guards. "Get me some bandage and hemostatic," he said. "I'm not allowing her to bleed out yet." Turning to me, he smiled. "You denied me, didn't you? And see you now, all mine to do with as I pleased," 'Please, keep talking,' I said in my head. 'Please! The pain is too much!' Thankfully, he did. "You know, I was just outside the door when Luna accused you of treason. I could have saved you from the alpha king's wrath….thanks," he said, stretching out his hands to collect the hemostatic and bandage. "Know why I didn't come to your rescue then? Alpha Hazel trusts me. He would have believed me if I vouched for you. Know why I didn't?" 'Keep him talking.'' That was all I could think of. I shook my head at hi

Hazel's POVI stare at the empty cell in shock, thinking that it couldn't be possible. This would be the second time someone was escaping from my cells, and they were supposed to be the most secure place in the city.That didn't go down too well with me, not one bit. I couldn't let this continue, or I would become a joke among other alphas. It had already been very embarrassing when Xavier escaped my cell on my Luna Declaration Ceremony day, and some alphas never stopped teasing me for it till I was forced to wage war on their pack and conquer them.I had never been able to find out how Xavier managed to do it. I don't believe the guard was lying when he said he knew nothing about it. He couldn't lie with the way I tortured him.But how had she done it?The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. That was my authority being undermined. Fury coursing through me, I turned away from the cell and marched up to the normal level of the castle.I knew one thing: it was impossible to esca

Mia's POV "Okay…so, who's going first?" he asked me. "Me…no, wait. You go first. I want to see how you fight without claws and stuff," I replied. I was very fascinated to see how he fought. How I fought was basically by being on the alert and thinking on my feet all the time. I had to spot the enemy before they spotted me, then figure out which of the many traps and divide and conquer strategies Maya taught me to use. Of course, there was always the good old running when I didn't spot them on time, and the stealth to successfully escape, hide myself and pick them off one by one using guerrilla tactics. And if I had my wooden claws, I could take on a wolf on my own too using the superior nimbleness Maya had forced me to cultivate. But as I said, all these depended on being able to think on your feet, which I didn't think the numbskull could do. So, I wanted to see if I could learn his easily, and then I could add one more point to myself on our scoreboard. And that would be som
