Semua Bab The Rejected Beta and Her Cursed Lycan King: Bab 21 - Bab 30

The rogue leader always knew that death would come, he had no illusion about it. The type of life he lived, the only way out was a violent death.He didn’t just think that today would be that day, as he lay there choking on his blood, he desperately grasped onto Zara’s collar and yanked her close to his mouth.Zara was taken by surprise, at first she thought that he was trying to attack her but then she realized he was trying to say something.“Fi- Fin- FF…” Blood bubbled out of his mouth as he fought to speak.“What is it, tell me!” Zara demanded desperately.“Fi- find what- happened to your last si- si- six mates and you will come closer to the truth.”“What?” Zara was not sure she heard him well.His grip on her collar loosened and his hand fell limply to his side.Zara gasped in disbelief; the rogue leader was dead!Did she hear him right? Did he say what she thought he said?Find what happened to your last six mates and you will come closer to the truth.That was what she heard…

She was cursed, but why did Alpha Draven have to suffer for her curse? Why him of all people? Elder Aliya had said that her ancestors had once betrayed Alpha Draven’s ancestors and that was the beginning of the curse, a curse that she could only break by dying. Yet, the man she was killing by being alive was thanking her for living. It was not until she felt the warm liquid zigzagging down her cheeks that she realized that she was crying. She sniffled and wiped her cheeks, “Please don’t die, hold on, I will find a way to save you,” she said squeezing his hands tighter but Alpha Draven was no longer with her. He had fallen unconscious again. It had taken him everything to fight off the darkness and then hold his consciousness long enough to see her, now he was exhausted. At this point, Alpha Draven suspected that his power was not keeping him alive. Something wanted him to suffer, but at the same time, it did not want him to die. If Zara went ahead and sacrificed herself for him

The cold gust of wind was still traveling, each sheet of the blizzard moving together with intent, with sentience.It was not until it reached the narrow mouth of a cave that the cold gust began circling at the entrance like a whirlwind before dissipating and what was left travelled like a wisp of smoke into the cave.Voices could be heard coming from with the cave, incantations and shouting. The white wisp continued to travel inwards, as it neared the hooded figures chanting round a stone altar, it rose up in the air, dancing ceremoniously over the pale body that laid on the stone altar.Then with one swift dive downward, it fizzled in though the nose of the body and then the incantation stopped abruptly.Everyone waited and watched with intensity.Slowly, color returned to the body on the stone altar. It was the body of a man, his face was wrinkled and he had so much facial hair covering the lower part of his face, his mouth could barely be seen.His eyes flew open sharply, it was l

Denice blinked!She must not have heard Zara correctly.Zara stared at her friend who stared at her with wide eyes, “Do you understand what I am saying, Denice? In my absence…”“What?” Denice exploded and took a step back.Zara remained calm, “In my absence,” she repeated, much slowly and with emphasis, “You and Joel would have to keep things under control. I will be back as soon as possible.”“What are you saying, Zara? You cannot leave… we need you!”“Right now, the pack is in good hands, If I don’t do this now, I don’t think I will get another chance to do it,” Zara explained.It was now or never, while the prophesy was still fresh in her head and while the pack was still riding on the high of their last victory, this was the time to take action.Dencie really could not believe it, her friend had gone mad indeed.“Zara, you have to let this go. There is already a lot going on here for you to add this to the mix.”“I have to find out what happened to my former mates, D. I have to kn

Zara and Brother Gi were not the only people to leave the Moonstone pack that night.Joel too was riding his horse hard and fast heading to the same neighboring village as Zara.Earlier that evening, Denice had come to tell him that Zara was leaving and would be entrusting the safety of the pack into their hands.At first Joel was livid, he could not believe what he was hearing and screamed at Denice, asking her why she allowed Zara to do something so foolish.They might have won the war against the Flint Posse, they might have earned the trust of their people back but they were still far from strong, this was the wrong time for Zara to be running off, playing detective.He said that he would ride after her and drag her back if the need arose and initially, that was what he intended to do but as he left the pack, he started having second thoughts.What was he doing being so worried about Zara? Had she somehow bewitched him with her curse?Zara just gave him an opportunity, he knew he
