Everywhere was quiet, as they drove past the huge city. Emandra was still unconscious and so was Shane. While Enzo had his eyes on the road, he still kept glances towards the shadows who were not so comfortable. ‘’If you would stop then just maybe they can rest’’ Chase tells Enzo who would not be staring at the Shadows. Chase could see they were drained but were holding up for his sake. As they drove even deeper into the valley, they felt something was not right. ‘’Why do I have a feeling we are walking right into an ambush?’’ Enzo jokingly asked. He could not shake the feeling away from him. Altera is a land of the most powerful lycans and witches of the old. It was very unusual for them to have driven too far into the city and have yet to see a soul. The streets looked like they had been busy just a while ago but there was no one present as the stalls stood unattended and everything was giggling like they were in some ghost town. ‘’We are, and you should be prepared. Emandra is
Enzo stared at the boy before him, not sure if he should laugh or cry. He has been sick and worried he shared some kind of romantic relationship with Luna while he had been her brother all this while. ‘’Brother?’’ Enzo asked once again to be sure. He did not want to make a mistake, he wanted to hear it again to have it sink deep within him. ‘’Yes brother, what are you thinking?’’ Shane asked, not happy with the surprised look on Enzo's face. ‘’You didn't think we were…’’ Shane could not finish his words. Of Course, the look on Enzo’s face was enough to let him know that was exactly what he had been thinking. ‘’Of Course not’’ Enzo stands up walking away from the bed. He was relieved and was sure Chase would feel the same way once he got to know him. He had seen the worry on his face as he watched her cry over him like he was the most precious jewel she owned. He was even more happy they shared a sibling relationship. Enzo was aware it was only foster siblings but he felt good abo
It was certain no one had told Minister Margaret what Emma was capable of. ‘’And who would stop me?’’ minister Margaret retorted. Emma was more than happy and welcoming to the idea of having fun. ‘’It seems the minister of war wants to have her ego crushed and trampled but since it is a wish of yours I have no obligations against it. I will let you have him and I will even let you keep him if you can pass me’’ Emma meant every word she said and Chase who just arrived from behind could tell their mate was at it again. He had slept off and had not noticed when she left. Beta Enzo and Shane had been the ones to come get him. ‘’What are you all standing and doing nothing?’’ the thundering voice of Granny Reeker came through the crowd. Servants had all stopped what they were doing very much eager to see the fight between the war minister and the newly found princess. Everyone was certain and all gave their support to Minister Margaret for she was the minister of war and was yet to lo
Everyone was quick to bow but not the ministers. They all hissed and walked away. Granny Reeker could only watch. She knew talking or forcing them would end up in a rather complex situation for the people. ‘’Is this how it's going to be?’’ Enzo asked, frustrated by the attitude. ‘’It will get better, '' Granny Reeker replied. They were subjects and at some point had to give in. She was not worried about the ministers but more about Emandra. Something was not right with emandra, she was suddenly fierce and petty. ‘’We should get inside, the witch's council is about to start and you are expected to attend’’ emandra walked out of the arena with Chase and the others. ‘’Why aren't you saying anything?’’ Enzo whispers to the hearing of Shane who seems to be avoiding Emandra. ‘’What would you have me say? Granny Reeker is here and she will take care of everything. And aren't you supposed to be looking for someone?’’ Enzo stared at the child before him, not sure of what to do. Shane had
Stephanie stood high and mighty before everyone. She was certain the support she needed was what she would get. ‘’It is in your place to decide who gets to be queen or not. You may be a daughter but you're not born of a lycan blood and only one of them can be queen. Stephanie, you should know all this since you have been amongst us for a very long time”’ Granny Reeker speaks out, standing from her seat and walking down towards Stephanie and Emandra who looked distrustful. ‘’It is your place to take the seat of your father while we search for him. A lycan can only be crowned alongside his or her mate and that can only be you and Alpha Chase ’’ Emandra could no longer hold herself. She collapses into the arms of Chase as she sobs even harder. She had no idea Daliah was her mother and she had been the reason she was no more. Í wish I could turn the hands of time Chase, I want to hold her. You know I pushed her away from me when she tried to help.’’ Emandra’s words were breaking even
Both Emandra and Chase did not see the big deal in naming the Shadows but it was clear everyone thought otherwise of it. ‘’What rule are you talking about?’’ Emandra asked, pulling away from Chase but staying close enough for him to have his hands around her hip. ‘’We shouldn't be talking about this now, why don't you two get some rest while the council deliberates on when you take over, and after that, we can trash out this issue’’ Granny announced but no one moved an inch. ‘’Granny, I need to know. They are my mate and part of me, we won't be leaving here if everything is not cleared out’’ Emandra was truthful to her words. She stood her ground and everyone was grateful for that for they all wanted nothing but for Emandra to be tossed out alongside her mate. ‘’The throne has been empty for too long. We only have an heir and not two, hence Princess Emandra will be taking the place of her mother while her half-sister who has been trained and groomed to take the place of her mother
While Emandra was ordered by the doctor to get more rest, Granny Reeker and the others held a private meeting to discuss the pressing issue and it was finalized on the conclusion, Emandra would be crowned acting queen while her mate would only take the place of the king if the king happens to be death. The ministers did not budge on their decision, they were more than willing to compromise on the case of emandra but they were not on the case of Alpha Chase. The thought of having a werewolf rule them was a bitter pill they were not willing to swallow. Shane has been hanging around Granny Reeker all day, too afraid to move closer to Enzo. There was just something about the man that made his heart skip a beat and rise rapidly at his words and closeness. He could not seem to take his eyes or hands away from him, the closer he was to him the more he wanted to hold him. Have his hands in his hair and play with his cheeks. Such feelings were not easy to come by and Shane was away from tha
‘’Enzo and I will have to return to the pack. A rebellion is quickly rising and I have to be there”’ Chase tells emandra taking her hands into his. He knew for a fact she needed him but the people needed him as well. As alpha, it is his responsibility to take care of them and make sure they are safe. ‘’You can't leave me here all by myself’’ emandra cries into his arms. Too much was happening and she could not get her hands around it. While everyone regarded her as a nobody and unfit queen, she only had her mate to rely on. ‘’You can't leave her alone’’ Shane spoke from behind. Emandra turned to the little brother she missed so much. She had just had so much going on in her life recently that she barely spent time with him. ‘’Come here’’ emandra asked of Shane who obediently walked over to his sister. ‘’What happened Shane, why did you turn up here,’’ Emandra asked worriedly. It was not the time but these questions have long been overdue. ‘’Why aren't you home with Mother and t
