Her Six Arrogant Wolves Chapter 73
Lysander's Point of ViewWork was a slump. Code drifted over the screen. I would type furiously, knowing what I had to do by heart. Mundane. Easy. Like any other day. But she kept popping into my mind. What I had said to her. What mother had said to me? It all became one big blur. A movie that bled into each other.After some time, I couldn't distinguish between what was said and what was reality. It was an awful feeling. The feeling of being trapped inside this place. Not just this place but this life and all of the choices that came with it.If I were someone else, things would have gone smoothly. I would have found my mate at the supermarket. She would have been a teacher. Shy. Caring. Soft-spoken. We would have mated within the week. Maybe have children within the year. That would have been ideal. After a while, she would quit her job and I would be the breadwinner. Pamper her until she knew nothing else.Instead, I had ended up with Nerezza. Strong-willed. Fire in her veins and i

Priamos' Point of ViewGetting a fawn through customs was a pain in my ass. Apparently one needed several different papers. Shots for the fawn. A carry-on. Having it in my arms for the entire duration was frowned upon, you see. Having it shit in the airport halls was even worse.People pulled up their noses. Looked at me as if I was a crazy person. I wanted to sneer at them to mind their own business. But they were human. They would never know the value of something's life. Their wars were a testament to that. Lack of humanity even when they were so very human.Nonetheless, Bambi and I traveled through several airports. Bribed and begged where needed. Most of the officials were human as well. I would indicate that he was an endangered animal. That I am going to get rich on his sale. Logically, they would want in on the action. That was when bribes came in. Large sums of money depleting my savings. Fucking perfect.But I was comforted by his presence, oddly enough. I had killed his mot

Nerezza's Point of ViewWhen I had envisioned Lysander's workplace, this was not it. For some odd reason, I had thought it to be in a basement. Secluded. Multiple balding people hunched over screens with sweat dripping from their foreheads. This was not it. Was so far away from it that I might as well have dropped from heaven and landed in hell.With windows for walls on the entire side of the building, looking out over Makatza. Glass desk with several state-of-the-art monitors on it. A swiveling chair. Not meant for an office but more for a gamer, ready to conquer his fantasy world. No personal touches. None. Not even a photo of his mother. Or a plant, basking in all of this magnificent sunlight.Yes, this was far removed from the dark basement. Lysander dominated the space. Filled up the room with his presence. Here, he was in charge. The lord of this domain. From the people slithering away when he looked at them, he was a strict ruler. The boss no one wanted to cross. That image w

Nerezza's Point of ViewThe way out seemed so clear now. So easy. Letting all of this go, my worries would vanish. Yes, people's lives would take a hit because of it. Yes, people were going to be angry with me. But I couldn't do this anymore. The weight of it all was crushing me down. Grinding me into the earth. I was now a fine powder drifting along with the current of people who wanted me to do whatever was in their best interest.Then along came three arrogant bastards. Who pressed me. Pushed me. Pulled me. To be better. Do better for me. No longer was it viewed as selfish to take care of yourself. No longer was it frowned upon. Numerous times, they had begged me to stop. Pause and take a good long look at what I was doing to my heart and soul.Now, I had to give them up as well. The last hope I had beside from finding Conan. Like fucking hell I would.As I had assumed, the guards marched me into the palace. Made a spectacle of bringing me back to my cage. Neither of them spoke. On

Priamos' Point of ViewBeing back in Makatza, I was reminded why I had hated it so much to begin with. There were cars everywhere, hooting and accelerating until their exhausts made loud noises. People screaming at each other in the streets. Children playing pranks on the elderly. It was too busy. Too loud. Not an inch of this place had a quiet space. A place to rest and unwind.I had no idea why I hadn't lost my mind all those years ago. Or maybe I had an idea as to why. Because I had to look after Farren. Drown out the rest of the city as I focussed on my sister. On my work. Money had come in slowly at the beginning. Then, as I crawled up the ladder, it started flowing in.Then, when Farren went to the hostel to live on campus, I found Nerezza soon after. She also kept me grounded. Made the buzzing around me sound softer. Made the watery streetlights look like fireflies instead. Brightened up an otherwise dull world. So I had kept my sanity by providing for everyone around me. Focus

Nerezza's Point of View Thanking my lucky stars that Phaedra was nowhere in sight, I stepped into the apartment. My blood was singing in my ears. I could feel my heart hammer against the inside of my chest, begging to be let out instead of caged here. Stepping forward, I stopped a moment. Looked around, taking it all in. This would be the last time I was here. The last opportunity I had to bask in the glow this life had offered me. The maids had cleaned for the day, that much was evident. Our kitchen sparkled, the smokey quartz sparkling in the countertops. All the crystal wine glasses hung from their perch. I let my eyes trail to the living room. To the couch I had declared as mine when we had just moved in. It always caught the last rays of sunshine right before the sun sank below the horizon. There was a breeze playing with the curtains. A lone figure stood out there on the balcony. Watched the gardens beneath. Her hair refracted the moon's light, letting the rainbow play in her

Priamos' Point of View We had crossed the city in an hour or so. Going from walking to hiking, it took longer than I had thought it would. But we ended up on the west side of the city. Where lawns were manicured like a rich lady's hand. Fountains gurgling water. It was the type of place I would have liked to raise Conan. From the looks of it, Nerezza had thought the same thing. There were more people jogging this late at night than there were cars on the road. The weird looks from earlier had left their faces as well. Here, it seemed, it was normal to carry around your pet in such a way. Bambi was awake for the entire trip. His head swiveled in every direction. Took in every movement he could see. Some people would approach us. Rub his head and coo about how adorable he was. He seemed to like this. Adore the attention. Especially from women who were considered beautiful. When this happens, I would roll my eyes at them. Take a step back and ask for directions to the house. Eagerl

Nerezza's Point of ViewAll I could hear was my rapid beating heart. Smell the fear clinging to my skin. This was the start of a new journey. One I had no idea where it lead. The only thing I needed to know was that my soul would be lighter after this goodbye. That I had paid homage to the man who had brought me this far at least.There was once a time when he had loved me. And I had loved him. Now the time had come for me to move on. Become someone else again. A version of myself that was happier than before. Gone was the plan I had for my life. Gone was the idea that I might one day sit on the throne.None of those things were nessacray. But saying goodbye was. Because for all his faults, he had been good to me in his own ways. Yes, he knew where Conan was and I was going to get that answer from him yet. But all the other things weren't as tainted as I had once thought.Our memories together. Farren in the garden, picking flowers to bring me whilst Reginald lay with his head in my l
