Thank you for reading, I have begun on The Lycan Princess, but it won't be done today, as I will be heading to bed soon. Tomorrow and Saturday I will be prioritising The Lycan Princess. :)
EVANGELINE. Danciana and Maryka slowly rise to their feet. From their pale faces, they were not expecting that. I rein in my aura, glancing around. No one moves. I guess I don’t need to use my powers. They bow down to my simple commands. They can sense who I am, my presence alone enough. “You should be ashamed for having your mate thrown in prison and betraying him.” I say icily to Maryka. “Hold your tongue unless I ask you to speak.” Her eyes flash, her lips quivering with anger, but she is unable to argue with me. “These lands once belonged to the Night Shade Pack. You are making a mistake Evangeline and remember the King lives. You are not in charge.” Danciana says haughtily, but despite her calm exterior, she’s terrified. “I am acting on his behalf.” “Oh, I am, and when the King comes forth, only then will I speak to him, as for acting on his behalf? I don’t see him submitting to another pack!” I growl. She flinches, her eyes darting around the room as I advance upon her. “Y
EVANGELINE. I watch Lucia for a moment, drawing the curtain partially around her to give her some privacy. The doctor had reassured me that the baby was fine. I’m glad… but I’m also confused. She still carries Chasyn’s scent, which means the child is his… but did she not say since Maryka he has not been intimate with her? So, did something end up happening between them? I remember the way she had been behaving the last few times I had seen her. Was it because of her pregnancy? It could have been… it’s clear she’s still in the early months of her pregnancy. I glance at Chasyn, before looking back at her face. Placing a hand on her stomach, I pour a little healing into her, satisfied when the swelling on her face eases up a little. But I’m careful not to use much. I can’t. The moment I feel the slight shift in the atmosphere, I stop. I glance over at Kash, who is watching us. He can’t see her, but he can see me from this angle. ‘You saved her.’ ‘I would have done the same for any
EVANGELINE. The sky is cloudy, and the moon is hidden behind them. I’m here at the edge of the forest. I can hear the vampires a mere mile away. Their hunger for vengeance and blood clinging to the very air that surrounds us, reminding me of the way it feels before it’s about to rain. They’re readying to attack us, and at their head is Zedkiel… I can feel his aura spreading far and wide, but the evil that is entwined with it like a poisonous weed, spreading far and fast, is incredibly powerful. How has he kept it hidden for so long is beyond me? He has bided his time, planned carefully, and he knew all along what he is indeed capable of. He has played us all. The very thought makes my blood run cold. The wind howls through the night sky and the stray owl hoots as I brush my hair back. “He’s powerful, but he hasn’t fucking met me.” Godric growls as he approaches. His eyes blazing, they have not returned to normal ever since he found out that his people had gone behind his back an
EVANGELINE. Kash tenses by my side as Godric watches Zerachiel with keen interest. ‘Remember, no one attacks unless I say so.’ I warn through the link. “We do not need to do this, Zerachiel. Let’s take it aside and talk.” I say clearly, my eyes simmering blue as Luna surfaces, her voice lacing with mine. “We are mates. Let’s do this together.” “The only thing you want to do is kill me.” He scoffs. He knows. “You’re doubting me?” I ask, raising a brow. “Do your people know that they are not following their true King, but his Lycan who has imprisoned him within his own mind?” I make sure my voice rings powerfully through the forest. A few vampires exchange looks, their eyes simmering dangerously. I see their hesitation, but none stop. They are under his command… and they will obey his every order. He’s compelling them to obey. I glance around, trying to find Ziahra… but she isn’t in the front line… Kash had managed to contact her, and she said she’ll be prepared. He was on edge,
EVANGELINE. ‘Evangeline. You must not let him strike your-’ Luna began. ‘Don’t!’ Evelyn sounds panicked. ‘She needs to know!’ Luna shouts. I push Zerachiel away with immense force, backing up a little while trying to drown out Luna's and Evelyn’s voices in my head. I can’t focus if they’re arguing. Zerachiel growls as he raises the dagger, lunging at me once again. “Zedkiel, if you can hear me… fight this!” I shout breathlessly, fending Zerachiel off. He’s strong, and I know what I need to bring myself to do. I spare a quick glance around; wolves and vampires are clashing in all directions. There’s a darkness growing around them, I can sense it, and I can smell the blood, feeling pack links breaking away. Our warriors are dying… unnecessarily. Our people are suffering once again. “Stop Zerachiel! What do you get from this?!” I shout, my eyes blazing. “This is your doing Evangeline, look around! Wolves and vampires are both dying because of your selfishness.” Zerachiel taunt
EVANGELINE. It’s peaceful… There’s no pain… Is this it? A soft breeze blows gently past me, like a soothing caress of a mother’s touch. I could stay here forever… My mind feels empty, but I feel as if there’s something I should be remembering… something that is important… What is it? The heat of the sun is warming my skin, the soft rustle of the grass beneath me is ever so soothing and I simply want to sleep, but alas, that is not meant to be. “Wake up, child… wake up…” The caress of a hand on my head makes me whimper, unhappy to be disturbed. A musical chuckle makes me crack my eyelids open, peering at my surroundings through my thick lashes, everything is bathed in the golden glow of the warm sun. So peaceful… “Evangeline.” Selene? I turn, before sitting up slowly. I’m wearing the same gown I was before we had returned to Earth and I realise we are somewhere in the other realm. But what happened? Zed! I turn sharply, my heart thundering as everything returns to me in
A/N: In the chapter ‘A Shadowed Moon’ I have made a small amendment which I forgot to include and only saw in my notes now, but for those who don’t want to delete and re-add it, this is the change: ******* “Cowards!” He hisses just as I slam him to the ground. He grunts in pain, and I feel guilty, but this is the only way. He throws me off him, his claws raking through my right shoulder. With such power and strength, it takes me by surprise. Pain rips through my arm and neck, spreading from my shoulder before I hit the ground; the wind is knocked from me, and I hear a menacing animalistic snarl from the left. ******* This was necessary as it was a wound that Zerachiel gave her, and the scars would always remain. END OF A/N ----- EVELYN. Pain tears through me the moment Evangeline strikes Zedkiel, and I feel it shoot through us. I feel the bond breaking and the agony that rips through me takes my all not to scream at her in despair. Goddess… let me die now… I feel something
ZEDKIEL. Her crying terrifies me. I don’t know why she’s crying, but something isn’t right. I feel different too… but I’m not complaining… Without the constant rage that I was battling with, I feel content, just how I did when we had gone to the other realm. I know I’ve lost a part of me, but it is not a part I will mourn over. She did the right thing; she did what was needed and I am beyond proud of her, but her gut-wrenching cries are breaking me. The bond between us sizzles powerfully, but the pain is all I can sense. Why is she so devastated? Her aura isn’t as strong as it was after her powers manifested and even with all the intense emotions it’s obvious, she’s somehow lost some of her powers. Everything is pushed aside as she screams out in anguish, breaking down into wracking sobs. “Our baby Zed… Our baby is gone. I gave our baby away without even realising what I was doing.” She sobs. My heart skips a beat as her words take a moment to register. Our baby? She was pr
