Way Of Kings Prologue Novels & Stories

“If you think what I’ve just said is slander, then you’ll be quite surprised by everything else I have to tell you. There’s a story you should all know. Once I’ve finished, you can decide if it’s true or not. *** The day of interrogation passed quickly and soon gave way to nightfall. As a warm breeze blew through the wind, I took a deep breath. Despite the nice weather, I felt a chill and couldn’t get warm. I was too plagued by what Roxy had told us. According to the sorceress, the first king of Wegalla had used the great sorcerers of Ewonmiams to win wars and annex Packs that now belonged to Wegalla. After appointing himself the king, he betrayed the sorcerers and launched a purge against t

The reminder of last night sent heat through me, the way she'd felt in my arms, the sounds she'd made, how badly I'd wanted. I pushed the thought away, we were taking this slow, even if my wolf was currently suggesting several very not slow ideas. "Come on," I said, tugging her hand gently, "Let's walk." We moved through the compound together, hand in hand. I saw heads turn, heard whispers, felt the weight of curious stares. I didn't care. For five years, I'd been the Rogue King, an exile, the man building an army for revenge, cold, distant and alone.

Having to stop him, I lunged forward and slammed myself in front of the door, blocking it with my entire body. “Stop.” Louis screeched to a halt. “Mila? What are you doing? Move! This is critical evidence!” “Do you have a death wish?” I lowered my voice, my face heavy with grief. “The Professor… is crying inside.” Vampires were pale by nature, but Louis somehow turned even whiter. He said, “You’re telling me the future werewolf king, who once ripped apart three lone werewolves with his bare hands, is crying? Are you insane, or am I hallucinating?”

He was that man that would do anything for his money. So the Rogue King rounded up an army and put them on standby, and still called the Alpha King to inform him that their deal was off, and that he would be keeping Clara to and for himself. He made sure to sound suggestive and ambiguous so that the Alpha King was left feeling very triggered and angry. The rogue King knew that he had the Alpha King right where he wanted him. And to ensure that Clara never left his side, he immediately ordered that she be brought to live with the rogues in his building. Nothing was going to deny him of his meal ticket.

“The longer we stay here, the more we risk losing our connection to the world we know.” I nod, my heart racing at the thought of returning. “What do we need to do?” I ask, glancing back at Clementine, who is still peacefully asleep, oblivious to the whirlwind of emotions around her. Evangeline kneels beside her, brushing a gentle hand over Clementine’s head. “The sanctuary will help us.” She reaches into the small pouch tied to her waist, pulling out a glowing crystal that pulses with a soft rhythm, mirroring the heartbeat of the sanctuary itself.

Taking a step up onto the block I give the crowd around me a moment of silence before I speak. “We have lost twenty-three lives since Vanessa showed the witches what their potion could do. And believe me when I tell you I wanted to say them all. I was desperate to save them all. But within me I carry your King’s pup and I couldn’t risk its life more than I already have.” I lay my hand on my stomach while I speak about the life that is growing within me. “I know today may have been hard for some of you to watch, but I felt like each victim deserved some sort of vindication. War is coming. War with the covens is coming. While I cannot promise you there will not be any more deaths. I p

“Rune…” Rose whispered while the distant noise of those trying to break into the underground structure continued. “The deaths of my older brothers weakened my father, and I got a chance to take his life.” “Why?” Rose frowned. “If your father was weakened, why did you kill him?” “That was the only way for me to be Alpha King. Had I hesitated, I would have lost to other wolves who were searching for a means to grab the Alpha seat.” Rose could not fathom that sort of desperation. Or should it be called need? So, she asked, “Was that what you wanted?”

As I walk around the great room, it's obvious that certain packs in particular are missing- the Rogue packs. Instead of having different alphas for every pack, they are all run by a king who calls himself "King of the Rogues." I can't help but roll my eyes, anybody who chooses to go by that name probably has a bigger ego than Caleb. Nobody knows what he looks like since few have ever lived after encountering him, his reputation violent and messy. He never shows up to these events despite receiving the invitations. Most alphas would prefer him as a business partner rather than an enemy.

After the purge, the seven Sages of Bloomington, men who had lived for two millennia, gathered together, dethroned King Cormac, and pursued the Throne family from the Ice Castle, the capital of Bloomington, the General ruler’s abode. Draco stood in the crowd, still as a sword, with hatred pouring out of him for his father, who murdered the female population, including his mother and Andriandita, as the angry mob stoned his father to death. The butcher king never revealed the reason for the act, but Draco suspected that there was more than met the eye. He lightly shook his head to rid himself of the bloody images that filtered into his mind. Eyes steady, Draco looked back at Rodrik as he drew

Finn as the beta, Drew as the gamma, Dave as the head warrior, and Leo as the head of my royal council. We decided to have all of our ceremonies done at the same time, to show a united front to the kingdom. To symbolize the new era we would usher in to Volkor and The Shrouded Realm as a whole. Because that was what the prophecy that was made about us had said — “forever bringing harmony” — and we had already begun that work by defeating Tobias, and by joining our two kingdoms, and creating alliances with Tidirath and Sorgin. The alliance with Sorgin was still shaky, as Veronica and Damien worked to piece their own kingdom back together, but it was a start.
