All Chapters of RISEN: THE LYCAN PRINCESS: Chapter 211 - Chapter 220

Zane The next morning, instead of training, it was full meeting mode. I had no idea what it was about, but everyone was there, including the three elder kings. I looked around and sighed. That was only a sign that something big had been discovered, that maybe there is nothing we can do for the vampire realm, other than wait for the whole thing to crumble. But if we do that… What would happen to the people? What about the elderly and children? The women and the people who can't take care of themselves? No, we can't give up… I won't give up. I spent most of my life locked down in a cell, wondering about the outside world, imagining that it was better than what I was being dealt with. Overall, this world is far better than what I had inside the lab, but not by much, not for many… I was saved because I had a mission, and I am not going to bail on them. I walked into the room, and Maddox patted my back. &

Zyon Zane caught up rather fast, and I am glad he did. Everything we have been through as a family, the trauma, the pain and suffering, should have made us sensitive about others' pain. I, in particular, have been acutely aware of what it is like not to be accepted. I met Princess Scarlett when I tended to her beloved horses. She was too young, too tender, too beautiful not to notice. I was two years, three at most, older than her… So, when she turned of age, I was elated to find out that she, the princess I had loved in secret, was my fated beloved. When she found out we were mates. She loved me instantly. I stupidly believed that her family would accept me, because we were fated to be together. Instead, her father arranged an engagement to none other than the Demon Prince — Prince Dante. And when we pushed back, when Scarlett rejected the engagement and took a stand, her father shunned

Maddox It took us an extra day to get everything ready to greet Sebastian and Zachariah in Central City. Zane was leaving the city to train with Sergei. It was one of his last days of training. Sergei was not interested in dragging this shit along. In fact, he wanted to make Zane's introduction to the council as soon as next week. Things were moving fast, and that meant that we needed to prepare more. Our training increased; my training with Urien, Roger, and Zane doubled, and Dominic made sure to be an asshole about it. He enjoyed it too much, like a true fucking demon.After showering and changing, we headed to the portas in groups of three. Zane, Angelo, and Urien are in one group. Angelo and Urien were their wingmen, ready for an extraction if things went south. Cadmus, Stephan, and I are in another group to cross Zach and Sebastian to Central City to reunite with their daughters. I looked at Stephan and Cadmu

Maddox My demon was clawing inside me, the churning feeling in the pit of my stomach grew, and then I heard my demon mutter an almost silent word, “Mate.” I froze. No, I was not worthy of having a mate. I was placed in this world to suffer, not to be loved. I took a faltering step backwards. The girl beside Zachariah froze, her eyes were full of tears, and slowly and very slowly she looked up and met my widened eyes. I couldn't move, I was instantly floored by her beauty and innocence. “Mine,” I whispered, on instinct, almost inaudible, yet everyone heard my voice. She gasped, shook her head, lowered her gaze and cried. Was the idea of being with me that appalling? I felt what was left of my heart and humanity snap. My own mate didn't love me, proving my theory that I was completely unworthy of love. I wanted to step out of there. The more I staye

Maddox The fuck, those bastards are insane. Angelo walked towards me during the early training. Coffee in hand. “So, are you ready for your date tonight?” he said casually, and I raised my eyebrows with disbelief.“Date?” I said, and Urien chuckled. Roger laughed, while Zane shrugged his shoulders with a fucking sly smirk on his face. I had not revealed to anyone, except for Cadmus and Stephan, that I had found my mate, and suddenly, in the middle of the training grounds, I was being roasted by people who should not know. I looked at Dominic, and he smirked too… This is worse than one of those human gossip shows the nurses at the lab used to put on while they were “caring” for us. “Who else knows?” I muttered, and Zane wrapped his arm around my shoulder,“You'd better ask who doesn't? The list is shorter,” he joked, and I rolled my eyes.“T
