“There had been so many deaths around you already. Some of them are death you did not even approve of or agree with from the beginning, but as it was given to you as orders by King Borasco, you had no choice but to obey if you want your family safe. I don’t think adding more to those lost lives would do us any good,” Ethan said. He had not known anything about Alpha Lisbon’s experiences, but Lexy shared the vision she could clearly see from what she saw were the reasons their new allies had in their thoughts even from a distance. It was one of Lexy’s newly found abilities. Lexy herself did not know she could do such an amazing thing to see the thoughts and know if the person or any living creation in front of her bears a good heart or an evil one. As soon as she saw the pair walk out of the realm she had created for everyone that was after Aldric or Ethan and her, Lexy could read their hearts’ content and reasons. They saw how the male was hoping to live a life of peace and harmony,
The goddess took a moment to pause. She leisurely looked round. The Moon Goddess was so proud to see her children gazing at her with hopeful eyes. Their faith in her showed as soon as they found the way out of that realm the White Witch had created.“This war is not going to be like any wars many of you had witnessed…” the goddess continued.Then she gestured to speak, presenting Aldric’s mate, Lexy, to everyone. “With the heir of the Grand White Witch of the East Coven as his mate, the innocent victims of this misfortunate tragedy decades ago, the grudges between the witches and the lycans had been repaired, knowing the late King had just been made a fool by the one who had greed to have the kingdom for himself.”Everyone was keenly listening. They were all like children being told a magnificent story. But in some of the lycans present, an honest thought hid in the deepest corners of their minds, but the Mighty Moon Goddess did not fail to notice them.“Some of you are thinking, why
“How about Alpha Lisbon’s car?” asked Russel, one of Lisbon’s men who came with him to execute King Borasco’s order that morning. “If anyone can drive it, I guess it is better to take that truck away from here, or the thugs might not keep their hands off of it if we leave it behind,” Alpha Godfrey answered. He was considered the highest ranked lycan among the group right now, so the rest of the lycans submit to him.Lisbon’s next in command, Oliver, was also another alpha, so they are not called beta: unlike the ranking on packs. They were the Royal warriors; most of them were from the family of alphas presenting their alliance and obedience to the throne as they served the King. But some are from ordinary families who had proven their ability and skills extraordinary, making them eligible to join the team. Their abilities and performances defined their rank, not their families' roots. And their respect for their superior had led many of them to submit without hesitations, yet some o
In the eyes of people who have not recognized the Queen, they would have thought the ladies walking on the pathway were strangers to the only woman walking by herself in between the two pairs of ladies walking upfront and behind her. The warrior alpha did not fail to recognize the Queen despite the kind of clothes she was wearing, and even though it was almost dusk, Oliver was still certain he knew the lady’s identity. Still, he was also equally infallible that the Queen did not want to be agnized by anyone. Oliver was put in a dilemma of whether he should greet the Queen or not; after all, they were walking almost side by side since the Queen was passing by the moment Oliver stepped out of his house with only a few steps for a big man like him to cross the distance from his front door to the pathway. Not to forget that they were heading in the same direction; there was no other road to take for Oliver to avoid the lady. “Your Majesty…” Alpha Oliver discretely greeted. “I…” the tall
The Queen’s head maidservant made haste to send one of her colleagues back to the coven and assured Queen Eula that they would do as she asked. They also had to hurry going back to the castle and prepare the Queen for the evening event. It wasn’t an easy task after all. Alpha Oliver did not know how to extend his hand and help. But he stayed close, just in case the ladies, the servants, and the Queen needed some assistance; he was ready to jump in. But Queen Eula summoned her remaining courage. “I cannot be weak when my son is in the middle of all of this,” the mother stood up with the help of her maidservants, but when she got her balance back, she stood tall and with great fortitude. “My son might feel every emotion I have through our connections. I don’t want him to be disheartened. So, I will pray for him in my heart wherever my feet would stand; I will try to be one in spirit and prayer.”The Queen took a deep breath and gathered herself. She may not be officially mated to the
Eula was not stupid not to understand the grave threat of Borasco’s spoken words. According to what she had heard, the man was going to deceive his brother, King Bhimashda, to take the throne for himself. If he was cruel enough to plot a trap that would kill his own blood, Eula knew her life was nothing to be spared if Borasco wanted her dead. The young girl, Eula, lived in constant fear. She had to look over her shoulders every time she walked out of her home. But she realized she wasn’t safe even in her own abode. Because one night, Borasco came in like a thief and demanded Eula serve him in bed to relieve his sexual needs. Borasco’s wife was in a frail stage of pregnancy. She has had a few miscarriages already, and this time, the female begged Borasco not to touch her. Borasco has a fat appetite in bed, and his mate could not keep up when she gets pregnant because it triggers her to lose their pups before they were even born. Unlike Pete, Borasco loved his mate, Hyacinth. And his
“Thank you all for joining us tonight! Enjoy the feast!”King Borasco raised his diamond-made wine glass. In the old days, the table wares for the royals and everything used in such a grand event would have been made of gold and silver, but as years passed, new eras and generations evolved, King Borasco did not let fashions stay old. Instead of yellowish-colored table wares, the Kings table is filled with blinding white sparkles of diamond-made dishwares. Everything on the table has diamond decorations representing how elegant and rich the Kingdom was under King Borasco’s reign.He had the trolls dig the ground, and with the powers of the mages, the King also made every colonized realm, tribe, denomination, and kingdom bring their best valuables to him as their gifts. Anyone knew hiding anything from him; the King would not spare a single soul in their immediate family. Then as the place will have no one to rule, he will choose who to be the new leader over their kind, who would submi
The whole place was warmly lit by the halogen bulbs, just as King Borasco preferred the ambiance should be in every room he would be, anywhere in and out of the palace and kingdom. But the bright light shining exceedingly by the entrance to the party hall was opposite to the King’s preferences. Servants were terrified. They did not know how to cover the King from the blinding light that suddenly appeared. “Are you looking for the Crown Prince?” Ethan asked casually as he gently held Lexy guiding her to walk forward into the party room. “Who are you?!” The head of the royal guards assigned to secure the area that night stepped forward to block Ethan and Lexy as they entered. He looked so furious as if he was outraged to see such boldness to walk into the King’s party, obviously uninvited. The bright light was the sign telling everyone that those newcomers were not into pleasing the King or Queen. Had they been so, they would have been announced and acknowledged like everyone else.
