Semua Bab The Luna Queen's Blood Oath: Bab 51 - Bab 60

CHAPTER 51Derek's POV“Get your hands off her now!” I growled with my claws extracting.The dumb old fool didn't comply. Instead, he turned to look at my stepmother, to seek approval from her. That was his mistake.Before he could return his gaze in my direction, I was beside him. Before he could tell what was happening, my fist connected with his jaw.Mord flew clean off his feet and landed on the floor, where he remained unconscious. He was going to wake with a broken jaw, but otherwise he would be fine.My eyes swept over the bodies of the dead innocent guards, my stepmother had ploughed through to get to Layla, and my anger levels rose higher. With my extracted claws, I aimed a blow at Mord's throat when she quickly grabbed my hand.. My stepmother.“No you wouldn't!” She hissed.I turned towards her, and my rage didn't subside. She had protection when father was still alive, but with father gone, she really had no power over me! She was just a stranger living in my father's hous

CHAPTER 53Layla's POVEmma's eyes widened in shock. For a moment, we all froze in our surprise. I was surprised too, perhaps more than they, if I'm being honest.Emma reacted quickly. She got over her shock and aimed a blow at my heart with the knife she was still clutching, but that was a big mistake.My other hand immediately seized hers, just Moments before the blade could plunge into my chest.“That's a bad idea, Princess..” I laughed, only I didn't do that either!I felt my hand begin to squeeze and twist Emma's hand until she screamed in pain and dropped the knife. It was at that moment that even the guard behind her snapped out of their daze.The guards immediately rushed forward, drawing their weapons in the defense of their princess, and I reacted with speed I had never once used before.I shoved Emma at them, and while they were distracted, trying to prevent her from falling heavily, I was already upon all of them!My hands flashed out and dealt blows left and right too fas

CHAPTER 55Derek's POVIt was with intention and great determination that I strolled down the hallway and straight towards the meeting room. It was strange that the hallways were kinda deserted except for a few guards who looked surprised to see me but I didn't give much thought to this.My blood boiled with rage as I walked. Somehow, I regretted sparing Evelyn when I had her in my grasp. I should have killed the witch when I had the chance!I finally turned a corner and arrived directly in front of the door. I didn't hesitate to throw the door open, but alas, the room was empty…Where were they? Where had they gone? I knew they were people here not too long ago; I could perceive their scents all over the place.I turned and approached a nearby guard.“My stepmother and the Councilors... where did they go?” I asked.“My Prince.. They are outside on the outskirts of the city. To execute the... the princess.”My heart froze immediately at his words. That could only mean Layla! My stepm

CHAPTER 57Layla's POVHe was glowing, the wolf was glowing! It was in broad daylight, and yes, he was! I gasped when I saw him this way, and even though I didn't know what it meant or why everyone was kneeling, I was surprised.As I watched in surprise, even the Luna Queen dropped to a knee, even though she had a look to kill on her face. Her daughter's expression remained unreadable, you know, with the stupid veil on.The wolf suddenly began to shapeshift slowly, and as the fur and paws, and claws disappeared, the fine body of a man took its place until he was finally standing before everyone in his human form. Prince Derek had saved me... again.Derek only had a pair of jean shorts on and was shirtless and barefoot. His long hair was cut short, giving him a more serious look, and for the first time, I noticed a tattoo on his left breast, some kind of a paw shapees tattoo.Was I only imagining it, or was Derek looking even hotter than ever?! The real question, though, was when the f

CHAPTER 59Layla's POVI suddenly found myself crashing through the forest on all fours. Where was I going? What was I doing?It suddenly began to flood back, and the last thing I remembered was Derek offering me his hand, and then everything had gone blank from there.I came to a stop willingly and realized that I finally had control of my body again. I was in wolf form and didn't even know when I had transformed, so I willed myself back into human form.For some reason, my whole body ached and ached badly too. I tried to move forward but stumbled and caught myself with the help of a tree before I could collapse. That damn wolf! Sapphire was behind this again!“Why?” I forced out the word. “Why do you keep doing this? What exactly do you want, Sapphire?!” I yelled angrily.There was no reply.I really hadn't figured out which side of the wolf I hated most. Was it the quiet side or the angry one? I really couldn't decide.I just realized that I was really hungry and thirsty, too. I nee
