Luka’s POV“What do you mean by that?” I asked her, trying to keep the panic I felt from showing on my face. Was he okay? What could happen to him? And more importantly, what would I do?She looked at me “If I were you I would go home now King Luka. We can have this conversation some other time” she said standing up from her seat “It looks like that rain won't hold long anyway”She took another sip from her wine glass before putting it on the table next to her chair before walking towards the door. She just dismissed me like she was talking to a child but that wasn't my concern at that moment.I don't know what crazy game this woman was playing with me but I sure knew that I had to go back and see what was happening in the castle and if everything was fine, then I would come back here and give her some serious tongue-lash- no heavens and the goddess knew I would definitely give her more than that, there was no way I was going to let go scour free from playing games with me- no frea
Luke’s “Were you dancing?” I tried not to sound too amused as stared at her in the kitchen.Her eyes darted everywhere around as if she was searching for an escape route from me, before settling on the sink as she quickly ran water over a sponge and started wiping it down with another one. She seemed nervous as hell about this whole situation but didn’t seem inclined to tell me anything. I would never understand how people managed to go a whole day without talking.“I didn't mean to trespass, I just wanted to eat something and I didn't want your maids to be mad at me”Her voice was quiet.That was definitely something that hadn't happened before, so that's when my curiosity got the better of me. “My maids? why will they be mad?” I took a seat across from her at the small round table near the kitchen door and put my elbows on it, resting my chin on top.She looked back at me before looking away again like the idea of actually facing me made her uncomfortable somehow. I sighed, trying
Unknown POVJust like the people who were paying us asked, I I still watched them waiting patiently for when to hatch my plan on them but no time seemed perfect enough, they were fighting and making up immediately and it happened too fast for me to do anything.So I focused on chaos- creating chaos.I needed to work with the distraction so I attacked those unsuspecting children in the next pack, leaving them dead in the woods.The werewolves wouldn’t see what was coming for them.I saw what their death did to the leader of that pack, I watched how overworked they were about it. They searched all areas and looked for all signs but all I did was laugh.I could only laugh, there was no way they were going to find me, no way.I could tell how infuriated their King was and the people had this permanent look of fear in their eyes, they were unsure of so many things and it gladened my heart.Father should see this right now, he ought to and maybe just maybe he would be proud of me.After leav
Luka’s POVMy Wolf growled and groaned in my head too many times that I didn't need a fortune teller to let me know that something was off.Something was terribly wrong and Alfred wasn’t back.Where was he? Was there an accident on his way back? Had he gotten lost at somewhere? He had never been away from the castle for this long before but today seemed to go on forever. “Your Majesty!” When of the guards ran towards me.I could see fear dancing in his eyes . “What’s going on? What is it?”I nodded to the servant who quickly fell on his knees in front of me.“Someone brought in Sir Alfred, he is covered in blood” The young man gasped out between pants.Blood? He shook his head, “He is unconscious, but he we are trying to get him awake but…” His voice dropped. “Where is he? call the doctors! call the healers right now” I yelled out.One of the guards rushed towards the door and called for someone. It would have been better if they were more specific, because it felt like I was ru
Luka’s POVI didn't know how to feel in the midst of all of this.It was strange, very strange to see him lying almost lifelessly on that bed, his once glorious skin looking very pale in comparison with the rest of the dark, bloodied sheets. His once silver hair was now a matted mess, stuck to his temples, and even when I took care of some of it, most of his hair fell out again right away. It was even worse to see the older woman who had raised me tremble as she cried beside him, her shoulders shook violently as if she couldn't hold herself together anymore.She looked absolutely terrified. The thought of it alone had me wanting to burst into tears as well. My throat constricted uncontrollably at the sight, my eyes filling up with tears too. How could things have turned out like this? How could he be lying here on that bed, so still, without making a single movement? Was he still alive?What was going on with us?Where was he going when it happened?“Do you think she's going to b
Unknown’s POVYou know how it feels when you win a trophy after coming first place? That was how I felt after taking out the old man. I spent the most of my time reminiscing about it and wishing that it was King Luka himself. I wanted to make his life more miserable than it already was.No matter how much he had refused to admit, his life was miserable. Everyone knew after the disappearance of his mate, he had fallen into a great state of depression and I was so proud of how much this was going to throw him off.We all knew how strong he was, all we needed for him was to loose focus and then we will sneak in and pounce on them. I wish I was the one who took his mate, I would have brought her head on a platter of gold and left it at his gate.I would have given anything to see the horror on his face, anything.It was an old news to my ears when the whole town knew about what had happened.Walking through it, I could hear the whisperings and the murmurings. They seemed even more afraid
Emily’s POV“I want to take part in the training lessons” I blurted out to Luke as we stood afar watching some of the men train together on an indoor track. He looked at me with his eyebrows raised and a quizzical expression that could only mean one thing. “You do? Why?” I blushed, looking away from him and down at my feet while fidgeting with my hands. “I don’t know… I just wanted to be trained and be able to protect myself” I mumbled quietly. Luke reached up and patted me gently on the shoulder with his hand before taking a step back, looking up into the air as if contemplating something. After several seconds he spoke. “Alright then, I suppose it won’t hurt too much to let you in for now, will it? But we will stop once it gets too intense, especially with your situation” His tone changed when he said the word ‘situation’. “Thanks, Luke” I smiled at him gratefully. We both knew exactly what he meant about me being in ‘a precarious position’. From afar I noticed the red-haired
Luka's POV“Who brought him back?” I asked the guards.I needed to get to the bottom of this one for all, someone brought him back. It started with whoever brought him back.The guards stared at me as if I was speaking in a foreign language. “Who brought what back Sir?” They asked back in unison. The two men were identical twins, both blonde and blue eyed. Both had a look of utter bewilderment on their faces. What happened to these people? I wondered as they looked at each other. What was happening here that no one had reported it before?“Who brought Alfred back after he was attacked, who was it?” I said again. My voice rose louder and sharper than before as I grew more frustrated. If no one was talking about anything then I might as well take matters into my own hands. I wanted answers and the only way I could get them was through the person I came here for. The guards looked away from me, each one fidgeting or looking at anywhere except my face.Their silence answered my questi
