Semua Bab THE LYCAN'S SACRIFICE, Fated To The Beast. : Bab 81 - Bab 90

Kael's PovThe palace felt different after we learned the Prophet was among us. Every hallway seemed darker. Every person seemed suspicious. I found myself watching everyone who came near Elvanya with distrust and fear.I trusted only two people completely now. Lira because she had saved Elvanya's life and been wounded doing it. Eldric because he had helped us from the very beginning and had nothing to gain from betraying us. Everyone else was a potential enemy."You need to eat something" Lira said. She had found me in my study at midnight going through personnel files for the hundredth time."I am not hungry" I said. I did not look up from the papers."You have not slept in two days" Lira continued. "You are going to collapse if you keep this up.""I will sleep when the Prophet is dead" I said."Kael look at me" Lira said. She came around the desk and physically turned my chair to face her. "Y

Kael's PovThey threw Willem into a cell in the deepest part of the dungeons. I followed right behind them because I needed answers and I needed them immediately."Leave us" I told the guards. They hesitated but obeyed and closed the cell door behind them as they left.Willem sat on the stone bench looking completely calm. He was not afraid at all and that made me even angrier."Why" I demanded. "You served my father for twenty years and you have been my advisor since I took the throne. Why betray everything now.""Betray" Willem repeated. He laughed but it was not a pleasant sound. "I did not betray anything. I have been loyal to my purpose from the very beginning.""What purpose is that" I asked. "Murdering innocent people and trying to kill my wife and child.""Maintaining the natural order" Willem said. He stood up and walked closer to the bars. "I have been watching you for years Kael and waiting to see what kind of king you would become.""And what did you see" I asked coldly."

Elvanya's Pov Suddenly it felt like lightning was running through my veins. The moon mark on my back burned so hot I thought it would scar me. Power flooded into my body faster than I could process it. I screamed from the pain but I did not let go of it.The silver light around me grew impossibly bright. It was no longer just my power anymore but the goddess's power flowing through me. I was just a vessel for her divine energy.Willem's eyes went wide with fear. "That is impossible" he said. "A mortal body cannot hold that much divine power.""Watch me" I said.I gathered all that power into one focused point. Every bit of energy the goddess was giving me I poured into a single massive attack. The silver light condensed into a spear of pure divine energy."This ends now" I said.I released the spear and it shot across the chapel faster than thought. Willem tried to dodge but he was not fast eno

Kael's Pov The messenger arrived early in the morning to announce that Lady Morgana would be reaching the palace by midday. I was in a council meeting when the news came and I saw several of the nobles exchange knowing looks with each other. "Lady Morgana" Councilor Vincent said with a smile that I did not like. "What an honor to have her visit us. It has been many years since she last came to the capital." "She is here to discuss trade agreements with the Northern Territories" I said flatly. I did not appreciate the way Vincent was smiling. "Nothing more than that." "Of course Your Majesty" Vincent said but his smile did not fade at all. "Trade agreements are very important for the kingdom's future." The meeting ended soon after that and I went to tell Elvanya about our visitor. I found her in our chambers lying down and looking tired like she always did these days. "We ha

Kael's PovI slept terribly in my old chambers. The bed felt wrong and I kept reaching for Elvanya in the night only to find empty space. I had never slept away from her since our wedding and I hated it.But I was too angry and too proud to go back and apologize. She had accused me of things that were not true and I would not admit to feelings I did not have.Except they were a little bit true and that was what made me so angry. I had noticed how strong Morgana was. How capable. How easy it would be to have her as a partner instead of worrying constantly about Elvanya's safety and health.But noticing was not the same as wanting. I loved Elvanya and I did not want anyone else. I just wished she could see that.I got up early and went to my study. Lira was waiting for me there with a grim expression on her face."We have a problem" she said. "A big one.""What now" I asked. I sat down behind my desk.
