Semua Bab Claiming Our Runaway Lycan Queen : Bab 71 - Bab 80

IRAJules and Preston jogged ahead of me, leaving me to deal with the aftereffects of her words. I turned to Billie with a blank look on my face, still shocked at her words."Pay her no mind," Billie said upon sighting the look on my face. I was certain she didn't hear Jules' last words. "Do not take anything she says to heart, she is just a bully."Billie resumed her jog, urging me on. "Come on, we have to catch up with the others."I spent the next few minutes in silence as we tried to meet up with the others. After one hell of a run, we finally arrived at the training ground, and sure enough, we were late.Elder Nightingale was present and the others stood in pairs, while one of the Royal Guards stood in front with a commanding aura around him."There they are," someone said from the crowd. "Can we start now?"I quickly joined the line with a tired Billie, who stood in front of me."Today's task is simple," Elder Nightingale said. "We shall be focusing on our physical strength.""W

IRAThe next minute, I stood in the middle of the crowd of students with Lauren, prepping for a fight.Jade stood right in front alongside Billie, Conrad, and the elders to witness the fight. Lauren looked deranged with her wolf at the forefront.Her eyes swirled a dark blue hue, her fangs bared, as did her claws. At this rate, she was almost mid-shift while I remained on my human side."You can take her," Khanos said to me. "She's too weak.""The rules are clear," Elder Nightingale said. "Only one survivor." He skipped a beat. "Fight!" he yelled, signalling the beginning of the duel.As soon as the words left his lips, Lauren approached me with grit, attacking me left and right with punches that I managed to dodge.Her attacks were precise and articulate. I could tell she's been training for a long time. And while I had the advantage of Khanos, I knew my physical strengths were yet to arrive at the level where I could confidently bea

IRA"You are never getting out of my sight ever again," Dexter said as soon as the door banged shut, pulling me into his form in an electrifying embrace.I let his presence soothe the turmoil within me and sucked in a deep breath, taking in his intoxicating scent as I tried to calm the storm that brewed within me.Khanos hadn't said a word since I woke up. I could feel her within me, but it felt like she was fatigued. I could barely feel her energy, and the fact that I slept in for the past three days while my neck healed was baffling, as well as concerning.What was going on with me?"Come on, let's get you to bed," Dexter said in a low tone, carrying me bridal style as we headed to his bedroom - which was by and large my new bedroom."I can walk on my own," I said, but made no move to get down.Dexter hummed but kept moving. I could tell he knew just how weak and disoriented I felt with everything that's happened, as I didn't bother

EROSThings had taken a turn for the worse since Ira's incident.The people were speaking, words were spreading, and the Elders were making my rule unbearable. There've been a couple of attacks at the borders and my patience was hanging on a thread.Not to mention Inferno, my hot-headed hybrid wolf, who was currently giving me hell for being away from his mate for so long. Just this morning, I was jolted out of bed by the flame kindled by my own wolf.The rest of the night was spent working as well as making arrangements to put myself out of my misery and grant my wolf a moment with his mate before he decided to take matters into his own hands.Which was why I decided to call my brother in the early hours of the day and demand he brought along our little mate for the meeting I would be having later in the day."Never." Dexter's words made my blood boil in anger."It wasn't a request," I stated, but it didn't make it to his ears as he

IRA"We cannot force them to fight," Elder Clawmark said to Eros as soon as we got to the palace grounds."They will fight!" Eros said, looking livid. "The tournament must be held. You said it yourself, we already have a plan.""We will be sticking to it."Dexter placed a protective arm around me as we watched Eros go at it with Elder Clawmark, who stood with Jade standing beside him.Jade was the only female who didn't forfeit the chance to fight in the tournament. While the other women dropped to the ground a while back, she remained standing strong."That is against the rules of this Kingdom," Clawmark said. "If you force them to fight, you will be going against the same rules that your fathers tried to keep.""The same rules that have been passed from generations before. We can't make rash decisions."Just then, Elder Nightingale stepped in, and Eros turned to him."Speak," he ordered, nose flared in anger.I
