Lucian woke up the next day and went to Raphael's house. Raphael's wife welcomed him warmly and sent a servant to inform Raphael of Lucian's arrival. The servant came back, Raphael asked Lucian to come up to his library and Lucian headed there Immediately, with the servant leading.Lucian got to the library door and excused the servant and knocked. A response came in from the other side of the door."Come in."Lucian went into the room. The man was sitting on the chair, reading a book. He kept the book away when Lucian came in."Ah, you have come to visit this old man."Lucian laughed. The man was only old with age but looked extremely young. He was a lycan after all."Have a seat."Lucian sat on the chair opposite the man."Why have you come, son?"Raphael asked. He was looking at Lucian keenly."I want to know when the war will start."Lucian said and the man laughed heartily."Patience son. I have always told you, patience."The man laughed again and shook his head. Lucian nodded s
"Stop being a scared cat."She whispered at him and turned around but she was blocked. A young girl blocked her. She did not hear anyone walking and she shrieked when she turned around and suddenly saw the girl."What are you doing here?"The girl asked angrily. She wasn't holding a weapon but Alexia knew their weapon, magic. And the girl looked furious she would use it now. Lucian came in front of Alexia and she stood behind him."I am looking for your Queen. I am the lycan prince, Lucian and she..."Lucian pointed behind him to Alexia."She is my wife and ruler of the four werewolf packs."The girl's furious look seemed to light up. She smiled and nodded her head."Alexia."The girl called out to Alexia and she came out and stood beside Lucian. The young girl smiled again."My mother told me about you. A wise and powerful woman."Both women smiled at each other. The young girl made a motion for both Lucian and Alexia to follow her, and they did. They walked for a very long time and
Lucian immediately went there and when he got to the door, he knocked. His father's voice echoed from the other side. He opened the door and went inside. His father was standing by the window, watching outside. He had his back on Lucian but he knew that Lucian was inside the room. Lucian waited by the door for a while and when his father didn't speak, he did."You sent for me father.""Where have you been?""Roaming."His father scoffed mockingly at his response."There is a problem."He knew there was."What could that be father?""The Lycans. They want a war. They are going to rebel against me.""Impossible!!"Lucian feigned ignorance and surprise."What shall we do father?"Lucian asked curiously. He had to convince the old man that he was on his side. His father did not respond, but this time he turned around to face Lucian."I will starve them more and give them a lot of hard labour. I will then freshen up my soldiers and fatten them. On the day of the war, they shall be hungry
Lucian was watching the man keenly. The man pulled out the drawer and took out a sword. It was mighty, long, sharp and clean. The sword sparkled when it came out of the drawer."This is a special sword my grandfather had. It is laced with the most potent poison in the whole of the witches' territory, he had a witch queen laced it and he fought many wars with it."Lucian looked at the sword and it didn't look like it had been to war, it was clean and too sharp, a touch of it could tear one's skin. The man brought the sword to Lucian and handed it over to him."Use that on the day of the war. You will be surprised at its potency."Lucian took it from the man and wrapped it in his clothes. No one had to see it."Thank you."The man nodded and went back to arranging his shelf. Lucian stood up to take his leave and he told the man he wanted to go."Sit, dinner is going to be served soon."The man turned around. Expecting Lucian to sit."Thank you, sir, but I have to go. Have a nice day."
She didn't want to go out to see the war nor did she want to go out to see how her mate will be slain, she knew her lycan will react to the sight and she didn't want to spoil plans.She stood by the window, admiring nature that she didn't even notice how time passed. She only felt her heartache and her body felt incomplete. She didn't feel right and she knew that Marius was dead and Lucian was on his way up. She went out of her room and down to the entrance of the palace. She stood there, with her back to the door and she waited. She waited for her death. She could hear Lucian's approaching footsteps and she knew it was now, it was now or never. She would go crazy and she didn't want that. His footsteps drew closer and within a split second, she felt her breathing cease and her head severed from her body.______________________He heard the chanting and turned around. The soldiers were on one knee and had their heads bowed. All of them. They had the head of Marius. Soon, the Lycans a
It was Raphael who spoke. Selene began to explain things. It turns out she was pregnant even before Marius found his mate and when he did find Eliza, Marius told her she had to leave the clan and she did. She left the clan and went to the fairy's territory and there, she had her baby after nine months. Kai was born in the fairies' land and no one knew about him except his darling father who visited him all the time.Everyone was shocked at the turn of events. Lucian was furious, furious at his father for such a betrayal. He was too furious to speak calmly to anyone. He rose from his seat."I am going to bed."He said rudely and no one made objections. He started walking away and Alexia followed him. Raphael told the rest of them to go to bed too and they will have the meeting the next day.When Lucian got into his room, he started kicking everything in sight. He was furious. Alexia got inside too and ran towards Lucian. When she got to where he was, she cupped his face into her hands
Alexia stressed the last part of her statement for emphasis. She wasn't going to be called a little girl by a mere mistress. The woman could not talk anymore, she went ahead and sat down on the bed. Quietly."My husband has sacrificed too much for me to allow you and your son to take things right from his hands..."She looked intensively at the woman."Back... Off"She said and turned around and left the room. Selene sat on the bed silently, she didn't want this, she didn't want any of this for herself or her son. She buried her face in her palms and cried for a short while before she too stood up and exited the room.When Alexia got back to Lucian's room, he was ready. He sat on the bed finishing up his shoelace when she entered the room and he stood up when he was done. She was standing at the door and he walked up to her wrapping his arms around her waist, she took hers and wrapped it around his shoulder and gave him a quick kiss."Don't forget everything I said yesterday."She wh
The man finished up leaving both Lucian and Alexia in shock. The duo could not believe the betrayal. Lucian stood up slowly and silently. Alexia noticed his movement and stood up too, holding Lucian's hands, both of them walked out of the room silently.The clan was summoned and all of the Lycans gathered at the base of the palace. The elders stood at the balcony and announced the next ruler of the lycan clan, Kai. The lycan king. There were noises and murmuring but soon, the Lycans bowed and gave respect to their king.When Lucian got into his room, he laid on his bed face up and covered his face with his palms. He was cast, he felt betrayed by his father and by the clan. Alexia joined him on the bed and she sat, looking at him. She felt pity and rage, Lucian looked too helpless. She held his hand into hers and spoke."You did so well. You did what I said.""My mother will be disappointed where ever she is."He spoke. His voice was shaky and he had tears running from his eyes. He was
