Semua Bab The Luna Queen's Blood Oath: Bab 41 - Bab 50

CHAPTER 41Layla's POV“What? Derek? Are you okay?” I asked uncertainly, not knowing whether I should reach out and touch him or not.He was suddenly crouched over with both hands on his head. What was happening to him?!“Father…” He muttered almost to himself.“Your father? What about him?” I asked with growing unease. “Derek? Hope everything's okay…”“My father.. I need to get to my father.” He kept muttering under his breath with his eyes shut now.I admit I was becoming more and more scared and he wasn't doing anything to help the matter. It was quite alarming to think that something could happen to the Alpha King himself!Just as suddenly as he had crouched over in pain, he returned to his height with his eyes blazing with energy I had never seen before.“What just happened?” I asked with genuine concern.“My… my father.” He replied. “I feel he's in pain.” “How? What happened to him?” I asked in surprise. “I don't really know yet,” Derek replied. “But I need to head back as soo

CHAPTER 43Layla's POVI quickly wheeled around to see who had grabbed me so suddenly and out of the blue, with my wolf instincts kicking in and ready to fight.“Derek?!” I snapped angrily when I saw him. “What the hell do you think you're doing?! How did you get here so fast?”He smiled weakly.“I'm sorry about this.” He said softly.I was confused. What exactly was he rambling about now? What did he mean?“What do you mean? You haven't…”Before I could conclude on my sentence, Derek moved with speed too fast for me to see what he was really doing.Before I could react to what he was doing, I felt his thumb reach behind my ear with his thumb and press down hard and fast. His fingers also pinched the space between my shoulder and neck, firm and precise. My eyes widened and I gasped before the world blacked out..***Derek's POVIt was better this way. The girl was naive and stubborn. She didn't really understand the complications behind what she was doing. There was no way I'd stand b

CHAPTER 45Layla's POVAs if Mother Nature were reacting to my helpless and broken state, the sky slowly darkened and rumbled slightly before the first drops began to fall.I lay there on the grass with my side hurting quite badly where Derek had hit me out of anger, and tears fell freely from my eyes. Why did I do that? Why did I attack him? Did I for one second think that I'd overpower the Lycan Prince?I really didn't know why I had behaved that way, but the only thing I knew was that at that point, I was so angry and wanted to give Derek a piece of my anger! I wanted nothing more at that moment than to bite his head off!The rain began to pour in downpours now, soaking up my gown, but I still didn't move. I lay there on my side, feeling the rain wash away tears.Derek approached calmly from where he stood, watching me. From my point of view, I could only see his legs and his shoes as he came closer. I waited, expecting him to lift me, but he did nothing of the sort. He just sat d

CHAPTER 47Derek's POVA lot of weird things had happened in life since I was just a youngling and even more so after I had met Layla, and honestly, I promised not to be surprised by anything, but sometimes I just couldn't help it.“What did you just say?” I asked the guard who had stepped forward to announce Layla's arrest.“She poisoned the Alpha King, my prince.” He replied with his hand still firmly gripping his weapon.“You must be joking!” I scoffed. I could only see my Stepmom behind this. It must have been her. She was definitely behind this, whatever it was.“No, my prince, this is not a ruse.” The guard replied. “We caught everything on camera.”“I didn't!” Layla snapped angrily. “I didn't poison anyone!”I perceived her wolf, that foul beast stirring again, awakening as a result of the threat it sensed from the guards.“Calm down, Layla, let me handle this.” I needed to keep her calm while I sorted this. “Listen to me.” I turned to the guards. “I don't know what sick game

CHAPTER 49Derek's POV“Your father might be dying.” A voice whispered so close to my ear, almost as if it had its mouth to my ear. “..but the Alpha King remains.”I quickly turned around, but there was no one in sight. I was there alone, at least so it seemed.“Where are you?” I called loudly. “Show yourself!”“What do you want from me, Prince Derek?” I followed the voice the a small rock just a few feet away from me, where a woman at calmly regarding me. The same woman I had seen the last time I came up here, except…She didn't look so good herself. She appeared pale, and her hair, which moved around her head in a flowy state, was not cascading down her shoulders, and what's more, her radiance had diminished too.“You see what I've become.” She spoke softly. “You see what I have given away just to keep the darkness from totally consuming us?”“What darkness? What do you mean?” I asked skeptically.“Oh, I believe you know exactly what I mean.” She replied with her eyes unblinkingly
