Pirate Kings Retreat Novels & Stories

" Before they could sail again, a shop boarding the king's marquises had risen from the ship and jumped into the boat where foreign illegal traders were startled. "Where do you think you are going?" With that, bloodshed rained again. Every single pirate was handicapped, both feet and hands. Viishaun crossed his arms and ordered, "Feed them to crocs. Then burn their evil goods." He turned his back and left as soon as they docked on the land. Everyone was murmuring among themselves as they witnessed the gruesome sight of blood. The crowd was not surprised because the King was always the fearsome ruler. He shows no remorse to those who cause chaos in his domain.

“If we win, we go back. If we lose, the King will think my pack is gone. Just keep them safe in the Northern Highlands.” I stared at him. This wasn’t the Hector Dreyar known for his flirtation and tomfoolery. This was a man ready to die for his people. “You have no plans to return Miss Vermillion, am I correct?” I said nothing. “Ydrian is desperate to find her. Keep her safe. I have the means to smuggle from my ports. Though… the King has hired pirates.” I frowned. “He has gone quite far. Why?” “Zephyr is rallying from the East. The King is moving west. I am not prepared.”

Without beating around the bush, he asked, "Why did you want to marry me, now?" Ravenna didn't hold back either. She looked straight into his cold eyes. "Because I need you." "Need me?" He repeated, his eyes narrowing with curiosity. "Yes," she affirmed. "I need you to help me destroy him—the man who betrayed me." "Hmmm? The Rogue prince betrayed you?" She nodded. Tense silence fell over the room. He had betrayed her? That explains why she is back. He leaned forward. "What happened three years ago though? Why did you run away from the Lunarcrest pack?"

“Alpha Kevin, I am no longer your fated mate. From now on, I only ask that you stay far away from me.” Kevin’s pupils contracted in disbelief. His wolf let out a pained whimper, his body visibly shaking from the loss of our bond. Alpha David, growing impatient, snapped his fingers. Two rogue warriors stepped forward, gripping Kevin’s arms before he could lash out again. The wedding convoy began moving, pulling me away from my past and into my future. As the distance between us grew, Kevin’s anguished roar echoed behind me. “Diana, don’t go!” “Diana, come back to me!”

Her face was wet, but her voice remained steady. “Returns where?” “To the first ocean.” Toren lowered his spear. “All living water?” The child nodded. Blood cooled beneath my skin. “People are mostly water.” Grandmother closed her eyes. The first king smiled. “At last, someone understands.” Raiken pushed himself upright. “What stops it?” The child turned toward him. “A king must return what the first kings stole.” The White Tide Crown appeared above my head. It flickered, weak and unfinished. Raiken looked at it.

It seemed even before they shut their borders, the pack flew under the radar. "Well they shut themselves off from the world for the past three years," I said "Everyone was talking about rebuilding after their last Alpha. It was brought up a lot. I guess the rumours of a coup were right." I didn't know who the last Alpha had been, he quietly paid his taxes to the King didn't cause a fuss, so we never needed to visit. Dante moved his finger down the page until he found a name.

Chapter 61 POV: Prince Raven Pierce He didn’t know if it was just his lucky self that he had surpassed the death that was already waving at him. He might be a fortunate *sshole, then. Prince Raven closed his eyes as he heard the door open and close afterwards, but he just pretended to be sleeping. “Stop pretending to be asleep.” His brother’s deep and threatening voice had reached his ears. He let out a deep sigh before opening his eyes once again. “The plan failed.” King Hades’ voice snapped his head to where his brother was standing.

They were the sixteen other brothers I had left behind. The ship's security forces had already been scared out of their minds as they threw their guns into the sea and lay trembling on the deck. Hank watched those pirates close in and shut his eyes in despair. Yet, these sixteen ruthless pirates, the very men who had given navies around the world endless headaches, stopped together when they were around ten feet in front of me. Then, they raised their heads and roared as one. "Welcome back, Captain!"

I wasn't going to let Ikigan get away with this. We finally reached the throne room, where Ikigan was standing in front of the king. The king looked pale and shaken, but he was alive. Ikigan turned to face us, a sneer on his face. "You fools," he spat. "You think you can stop me? I have the upper hand here." The guards moved forward, their swords drawn in boldness. Ikigan sneered at them, but I could see the fear lurking behind his eyes. Suddenly, Rita grabbed my arm. "Vera, look!" she whispered.

His mouth formed a slight smile in response. I shifted my gaze to my people, and I could see the bittersweet smiles on their faces. They weren't pleased with the decision to let go of the land, but it was for the greater good. It was the only option for us to escape the clutches of the MoonHunters. Marcus moved forward, glaring at us with irritation. "As of today, half of your hunting lands belong to us," he pronounced before leaving with his men.
