Semua Bab The Lycan King’s Witch: Beneath the Crimson Moon: Bab 51 - Bab 60

Dom’s POV She brushed past me and grabbed her clothes, she quickly put them back on. My heart felt like it was being broken in a million pieces. I’ve been nothing but patient and understanding, and she was still thinking this way? Why let me get as far as I did just to push me away? I didn’t understand it. “If you hate this so much, why haven’t you rejected me yet?” I asked. The silence between us was eating away at me. I needed her to communicate with me. I assumed that she might not know how, or that maybe deep down, she didn’t want to reject me. “Ana, you’re gonna have to say something.” I walked towards her but stopped once I met her eyes. There was clear pain and anger in them. He had her hands raised as if she was about to attack me. That alone was a strong enough blow. ‘If you hadn’t got carried away, she wouldn’t be like this!’ Amos snapped. ‘You’re not helping!’ “Ana,” “I can’t!” She yelled, tears running down her face. “You can’t what?” “I can’t!”

Anastasia’s POV “Hey, it’s okay, you’re safe now, we will protect you." Her little fingers were holding onto a necklace, her eyes fixed in a couple lying in the distance. It must be her parents. I managed to get her to more and we made our way back to the group. We moved again and hid behind the trees. Dominiko paused at the edge of the woods, inhaling deeply. "It looks clear. No live scents so far." He stated. “What if they’re inside.” One of the young warriors asked. “Then I’ll handle it. We need to make sure the High Priestess is safe, and you all.” He looked back in the direction of Elders Grove. “Remember, stay close!” He grabbed hold of my hand, and sprinted towards the entrance, the young witches following close behind. The massive oak at its center stood strong , but the sight that greeted us sent chills down my spine. The enormous, sigil carved doors of the Grove were usually sealed tight with layers of protective magic, was cracked and broken. There’s no way

Dom's POV“But we haven’t learned how to. We were training for battle. The seers are usually the ones how do that.” Aron said. “I know, but I know how. I just need you guys to help me with it.” She looked at the expectantly. “We have everything we need in here. All we have to go is create a circle.” I looked at them confused, the small child was still next to me. “Why do we need to do all of that? Can’t you just do it like the seers?” Aron protested. “Because, smart, we are looked for the High Priestess. She’s not any regular witch. He holds the power of the moon goddess. We can’t find her easily that way. Also… it’s a possibility that the Shadow Syndicate has her.” She rushed the ending out. ‘Shadow Syndicate? Who are they?” Amos asked. ‘You know, you do ask me shit like I’m gonna know something you don’t? We are sharing the same fucking brain, genius!’ I snapped. The Shadow Syndicate?" Aron and the others looked on in fear. “But they are a myth. There’s no way.” He proteste

Dom’s POV ‘We could put them East of the kingdom. It’s closer to the willow forest.’ I suggested. ‘And what of the residents that reside there?’ ‘Move them into temporary housing.’ I rubbed my temples. I already knew that this was going to be a stressful arrangement, but looking at the witches that were left over, majority of them were women and children. Most of their men and elders perished in the battle. Ana was ushering a group of small children into one van while Aron and Willow escorted the others. ‘I’ll try and make it work, your majesty.’ Cyrus chimed in. ‘That’s what I like to hear.’ The mind link ended and I walked over to Brianne. She was communicating with a few other lycan warriors and immediately bowed when she caught sight of me. “My king,” she looked up at me. “Were there any casualties?” I asked. “No. We are all accounted for. But, we did manage to catch one as they were fleeing.” I followed her eyes. They landed on a man with a huge sca

Dom’s POV Because the kingdom is so huge, we had to create a meeting hall big enough to fit everyone. It looked more like a theater to me, but it came in handy. Yes I could have mind linked everyone at the same time, but I wouldn’t be able to address questions and concerns the way I could in person. Cyrus and I waited on stage for the room to fill. The tension was already building and judging my Cyrus’s face, he felt the same way that I did. Once it appeared like everyone was present, we began. “First, I want to thank you all for joining us. Your concerns are valid and I wanted to address as many as I can. This new adjustment to Hester Wood is massive and I won’t pretend that it isn’t.” The audience watched with mixed faces. Some looked angry while others looked unreadable. I could tell by the energy that was slowly building in the room that this meeting wasn’t gonna go the way that I hoped, but it had to be done. There was no other way around it. “Now, we have had generation
