Semua Bab Rikr: Bab 61 - Bab 70

“Can I talk to you guys?” I asked as Kiara and Leon started to get up from their seats.“What’s up?” Rafael asked as we settled in the living room.“Are you all insane?” I asked them. I was really considering it because they treated Storm like she was above them.“Why?” Slade asked me.“She’s human and you guys are acting like she’s this gift from the gods,” I said.“Okay, so we all talked and voted and we like her and we don’t care that she’s human,” Tiffany said.“Voted on what? There is no vote,” I said.“We can see you like her and she likes you,” Rafael said.“She’s human and I’m not going through this again. I don’t care how much I like her,” I said.“So you do like her!” Kiara piped in.“That’s not the point. After Anna…” I began to say.“She won’t be human for long,” Rafael said.“What are you talking about?” I asked him, more confused than ever now.“You can turn her,” he said to me.“You can’t turn humans,” I said, frowning.“We can’t, but you can,” Rafael said.‘It’s true,’

A group of Zetas approached us and bowed their heads. They parted and Edmund smiled as he walked right up to me. “Your Majesty, welcome to Scotland.”“Morning, Edmund,” I said with a smile.“Your father is awaiting your arrival in the banquet hall,” he said as footmen stepped forward and took our luggage inside.I led the pack to the banqueting hall and Storm looked around as Edmund walked next to me. Falcon met us at the door and we hugged as he looked at the pack and then he noticed Storm and I could see in his eyes that he realized she was human and he glanced down at our hands.He didn’t say anything though and neither did I. I didn’t have to explain myself to anyone, Kai included. The look in my eyes told him not to say a word about Storm. Blaise had already told me that he wouldn’t stand for anyone saying anything bad about her.“His Royal Majesty, the Alpha King, Jericho Kiran St. Claire and the Royal Pack of Cloverdale,” Edmund announced as we stepped into the room and I heard

After dinner, I took Storm’s hand and we walked into the forest. I felt at peace here in the place where I grew up and I walked to a natural clearing further on. It felt right to bind Storm to me here.“You could have warned me,” Storm said as I slowed my walk.“About?” I asked her.“For starters, you being the Alpha King and how you heal,” she said to me.“Being the Alpha King is just a title that I took, the same way I took territorial possession of Cloverdale,” I said.“I was really worried when I saw all those bite marks on you,” she said softly.“All wolves have healing but mine is faster and I heal from things that kill other wolves.”“I don’t think I really understand how you just proclaimed yourself that title,” she said. “My father ascended the throne when he was twenty-one, but he grew up thinking he’ll be the Alpha of his pack one day. Nobody knew that our family was royalty. I grew up thinking I’d take over from him one day but I had another path to follow. I proclaimed m

“What’s going on with you?” Storm asked me sleepily as I turned on my side for the hundredth time that night.“I feel restless,” I said to her. She moved closer to me and settled her head on my chest.“What’s going on? Is Blaise being an ass again?” she asked me and he snorted in my head.“I’m thinking that the ghouls are probably building up their army and that’s why it’s been so quiet since the attack on Eric in Germany,” I said to her.Three months had passed and there had been no new attacks anywhere. The hunters were quiet. The ghouls were quiet and even the rogues were quiet. I appreciated the time it gave me with Storm and our bond was stronger than ever.Sam and Rafael had opted for a quiet ceremony at the house and they had gotten married three days earlier and were currently on honeymoon. We all missed Sam more because of her cooking. Rafael had only snorted and said he felt very offended.Adelie had taken the news of my other brother relatively well and Kai seemed somewhat

We had spoken to Magnus and Sacha and warned them of the ghoul attack. We told them how to kill them and what to expect. It was the first time in my life that I had seen fear in their eyes but they took the news relatively well.“It feels like I should be able to do more,” Kai said and sighed.“Can I borrow a few of your Zetas?” I asked him.“What for?” he asked me.“There’s a company in Cleveland, we’re going to steal their flamethrowers,” I said to him.“Steal?” he asked.“We don’t have the time to order them,” I said to him.“Take as many men as you need,” he said to me.“Thanks,” I said and stood up to leave the office.I walked outside to the group of Zetas and asked for fifty volunteers. All of them stepped forward not even asking what they were volunteering for. I felt proud of Kai’s men and that gave me more hope for meeting the witch and her ghouls again.“We’re porting to a company in the United States, to steal their flamethrowers. The ghouls only really die from fire and w
