Chapter 15
"That's typical of your father, he's more of a coward than a king, I just want one thing from you," a long pause,"What is it mother?" She inches closer to her, "I would do anything you ask me to." The pleasant curving of her lips made her mother relaxed,"Do not hesitate to kill anyone that tries to oppose you; at this stage we're in it's kill or be killed. I know you'll make a fantastic Queen." She pulls her into an embrace."It feels like you're leaving me with all these words," she hugs her even tighter, "you never gave me my birthday gift, we couldn't even celebrate my birthday...." She wasn't happy, she had turned 18 two days ago and everyone was busy worrying about the war.Octavia gleams before pulling out her hands, and her flute appears out of a swirl of roses,"Happy birthday my gem, I hope you like it?" She smirks, for something that beautiful it was near to impossible that someone wouldn't at least like it.Chapter 16He eventually overpowers her and throws one of her blades off course, it flies into the chest of one of his allies and he dies instantly,"I would rather die than surrender to you!!" She throws her fist across his face and he is sent several feet back, Arcadia is surprised at her own strength, she had never done that before in her entire life,"Arcadia!!" Xerxes defends her from a blade, she kicks the attacker in the abdomen making him stumbles back and Xerxes draws a huge mark on his chest with his sword, he topples to the ground and dies.Mace is coming with a bloody lip and he aims for her head, she does a cartwheel away and kicks him in his calf making him go to his knees,"Is this the strength you were boasting of?" She cracks his skull with her fist, she had the strength of a thousand Lunas, "how dare you attack my father?! Who do you think you are?!!" Another strike to his head and she was making him bleed, he had never been so help
Chapter 17"Mother!!!" She screams as she saw the sword of her father in her mother's body, she limps as fast as she could but her mother was already falling to her death.Xerxes was frozen in time as he watched his Mate fall into a deep slumber,"No...no..... Octavia open your eyes!!" He falls to his knees to tap her on her cheek, "you promised me!! Don't leave me!!!" He shakes her violently but she isn't moving anymore, "Octavia!!" And his tears drop on her face, he finally lost her.She was cold and she was numb; she was dead.Arcadia reaches her but it was too late, her mother had finally left her, her words kept replaying in her head, "mother.....mother.... please.....don't...." She couldn't help the tears that poured from her eyes, "nooo!!!!!" She is shattered.Magnus tries to flee while he can but the moment Xerxes catches sight of him, he superspeeds to the killer and kicks him so hard he flies back to square one. He jumps on top
Chapter 18"Very well, and how do you want him to die and when do you want him to die?" He leads her out of the Queen's memorial with a hand around her waist,"That is undecided, I would give him a chance to prove himself a loyal wolf and if not, then I want his head on a plate, the same thing that happened to father. It was quite incredible how you made his head fly that far." They laugh at the last statement,"Magnus deserves what happened to him, the only person that didn't deserve to die was your mother." his eyes sadden a little as he remembered how cold she was that day"Let us not invite sadness into our own hearts, mother would be proud of us irrespective," she wraps her arm around his torso in an embrace, "what will you get me for my coronation??" She smirks devilishly, she hadn't really changed, she had just matured.Only slightly though. She was still Loving and carefree but when she needed to put down a point she became more like the late
Chapter 19He freezes before turning to his comrade, "Czar you should be very careful with your words, if Mace hears this then he won't hesitate to throw you out, he doesn't want to hear anything about Arcadia, how can you go around telling him that he is sill in love with her after everything that had happened?!" Loki was worse than a nagging mother, Czar rolls her eyes,"If it wasn't a big deal for master then he wouldn't have an issue talking about it, but since he's clearly still attached he's doing everything to forget." He rubs his wrinkled nose, "but I doubt if he would ever be able to forget her, she would always be that quest he couldn't conquer." Czar begins to walk ahead and it's only a matter of a few strides for Loki to meet up with him,"So what are you suggesting we do? Make him forget about her? Is that even possible?" Czar smirks a little,"All a man needs is another woman in his life and he has forgotten his whole past, we
Chapter 20"And what exactly does that mean Xerxes? Are you seriously in support with Arcadia ruling the kingdom? She would drive us to destruction!!" Azeah tried to make him see the light but Xerxes was barely listening to him, he was just enjoying his apple, "are you paying any attention to me?!""No, because all you're saying is just nonsense, Arcadia is perfectly capable of ruling and defending us, I don't know what you're so worried about." He throws the residue outside the window and Azeah felt like pulling out all of his brown locks,"I understand you know, you're just agreeing with her because she's your daughter, so you would be considered royalty," he slander him and Xerxes turned to face him properly, he had a feeling he would be chopping off heads very soon, "don't you feel ashamed? You slept with the Queen and produced....you produced that... An ill—""I've let you talk enough," his death bringer was too close to his neck, "say
Chapter 21"Master, may I be excused?" His sudden need to leave was a bit suspicious but Sativa knew what was up, "I would take her back to her home to make sure she is safe, it won't be long." He hopes Mace lets him go and to his prayer he gives him the go ahead, he wasn't interested in listening to anything else she had to say.He was too annoyed to even listen to her nonsense. The age must have made her crazy.They walked back together and she could feel the smile on his face, "you seem very happy boy, is it your lover?" She couldn't help the snort that came afterwards and it makes him blush,"Mace might have issues with his love life but I'm very happy with mine," he says triumphantly as he had always been called the lover boy since little, he was a very emotional bad boy wolf, he opens the letter to be greeted by the scent of roses, it makes him go mad each and every time, "I wonder what she had written this time around." He couldn't stop smi
Chapter 22Loki was preparing to see his lover, making sure his hair was okay and he was smelling good, he never stopped smiling like an idiot anytime he thought of her, he was dying to make her his, anything to touch her and have her call him mate officially."And where are you going to?" The sound of his voice gave him chills, Mace walks into the room to look at what his half brother was doing to his hair, so much gel, "it's Sheila isn't it?" He knew at the instant and Loki laughed,"Yes, she requested to see me and I have to look good." He was a dashing young wolf,"Are you sure she isn't playing with your emotions Loki? I've never seen her here so I don't know why you're always so up and about when it comes to her." He jumps on his bed, "there are other women in this palace that you could always take for yourself, the women we took from the war are beyond beautiful." He tries to pull him to his side but deep down he knew Loki would
Chapter 23Days pass and it's a few days of princess Arcadia's coronation, from now one she would formally be called Queen Arcadia after the special day, and as usual there would always be schemers who want to take the kingdom from her."Pull your form up boy!" Xerxes throws a stone at the young lad and it hits him in the torso, he winces but he still holds up his position, balancing rocks on his arm and being made to stand on a foot,"You don't have to throw stones at me!" He bites back, his black hair was already sticking to his forehead due to the sweat,"I would throw more than stones so straighten up!!" He barks and the boy is made to readjust himself according to what his master wants from him, "now that's better. If you want to be the Queen's best man then you must be prepared for anything and everything, nothing must happen to her while you're still alive." He feels the daggers in his heart, how he wished he would've saved Octavia that day
