The Wicked King Holly Black の小説・ストーリー

“When is the evil egg going to hatch? Isn’t it the key to killing the Gifted Wolf? How can you say that what I seek is already here?” “Patience, my King. You ought to be patient. After 15 full moons, what you seek shall come to you.” The Black Witch smiled maliciously. The vampire king picked up the coin on the table, and asked. “What price do I pay?” Once again, the Black Witch laughed again and this time even louder and hysterical. “That you shall not know until it’s taken. Farewell, my King. The universe will always find its balance, my dear vampire King.”

I prayed fervently, hoping someone would come to my aid. “That's enough “ a deep voice cuts through the room. It was Wesley Blackwood, the Lycan king, the most feared monster among all kinds. “I mean, no one dares lay a hand on her,” he commanded. His steps were heavy as he walked towards us. My heart almost jumped out of my throat when I saw him emerge from the shadows.

He replies icily as he pulls on the chain that binds my wrists and I stumble forward. The moment we left the castle, he had put me down and put silver chains on my wrists and a shackle around my neck while his men gave him clothes to wear. Silver is a werewolf’s weakness. It burns our skin and makes us weak. If given in large quantities, it can kill us. When he put the cuffs around my wrists, I came to terms with my current predicament. This was really happening. The Lycan king came all the way to duel for me to become his slave.

I will never get used to it. We all go to the living room and I’m immediately pulled onto Ren’s lap as he sits on the armchair by the fireplace. Thea sits with Leo, Skye with Hunter and Lia with Blake, while Aiden and another guy take their seats on the other couch, with everyone else standing behind them by the window. “So… what’s going on?” One of the men asks curiously. “A witch wants to kill the King. – Thea begins – She has a bunch of Undeads with her and most likely an army of humans.”

His hands gripped her arms tightly. Fear flashed openly across his face now. Eleanor looked up at him in horror. “The first Blackwood witch loved him.” Silence consumed the chamber. Even the Hollow King stopped speaking. Father Matthias slowly closed his eyes. “Oh gods.” The heart suspended above the pool pulsed violently. Eleanor finally understood. The Blackwood witches had not merely imprisoned a monster. They had created one. The Hollow King’s voice emerged softly through the chamber. “She promised to stay.” Pain filled the words.

“Help me fetch water for the King.” I followed her immediately, my head spinning. The King? “Why did you call him that? Why are you all acting strange? Is this a prank?” I asked all questions at the same time. The lady stopped and turned to me. Her face dead serious. "He is Alpha Alaric, the King of Blackwood. Everyone knows the King, who are you to speak of him so rudely?" The name hit me like a punch. “The Tyrant King?” My mouth became dry.

, Skyler said. Athena, the witch of the royal court took the bottle. She poured a few drops of liquid into her hand. She rubbed that liquid to her fingers and chanted something with closed eyes. After a moment she opened her eyes and looked at king Samuel. Maverick who didn't expect this started panicking. "Dark magic", she said. Dark magic was prohibited in the country. King's eyes turned black from his usual grey. "King, please listen to me. I don't know anything about that black magic. I think this girl trying to frame me in this", Maverick said in a panicked tone.

But now, it has turned into darkness. “No way…” Kulv muttered as his eyes widened in both shock and horror. Mahi fell silent. His expression is solemn as they looked at the Golden Forest being turned into a dark forest by the witch. He, as well as Skye who is now frowning, knows that this is the witch’s provocation to Laggas, who is the king of the West Kingdom. For not only the Golden Forest, but also the castle and the capital are now being destroyed. Everyone’s hearts felt like they were being hit by a boulder, and their faces turned gloomy and dark – as dark as the darkness that was surrounding them. But –

Ebony deserved to know who her father was, and I knew she would be shocked when she found out who. King Jacob was the King of all Werewolves. He made the rules along with the council. He usually sat in the back, let the counsel take care of everything, and interfered only when needed. When we arrived at the Packhouse, I immediately went to talk to the Pack doctor. While Mark and I were away, I had one of the Pack Doctors take some of Ebony's blood so that they could see what was put in her drink.

But before he reached there, she had already left her last breath. The Rogue king put his dead sister's head on his hand and shouted in pain more like in fear because as soon as she died the beasts fell on ground and died. Werewolves and vampires stood around the Rogue king. The Rogue king shouted in anger and took the wood to stab the Vampire king but the wood turned into ash. Black took steps towards the Rogue king.
