The King's Mate 78: Mysterious Women
Chapter 78POV: ArlanHe instantly got up from the bed where he was lying. It created an eerie creaking sound, and he couldn’t stop himself from shivering at the creepiness of the place.The place was unfamiliar to him. The walls were made of wood, and the countless white candles gave light to the entire room. One corner of the wall had a hanging shelf where peculiar species of insects, roots, and plants were placed inside the jars. When he saw exotic dead animals like toads, rats, snakes, iguanas, and other animals he couldn't look at, he just wanted to puke. They seemed to be preserved, and he was just grateful that they didn’t emit a foul smell.He grunted as he felt the throbbing pain in his back and his vision was slightly blurred, but he tried to know where he was. He felt so disoriented as he held his aching temple. The indistinct weirdness of the place was making him more uncomfortable with every second that he was staying there.There were some old books stored and neatly arr
The King's Mate 79: Arrival
Chapter 79POV: ArlanHe and the two mysterious women took an unfamiliar path to the foggy and darkest part of the house's far western wing. He didn’t even know whether he was still on the South Side or not.But Tamika confirmed that they were still on the South Side. Apparently, it was the deepest part of the South Side that no one had ever discovered before. He didn’t know how long they had been walking on the dark path and he didn’t know how many times he had almost tripped on the twigs around him, but all that he felt was the painful wound behind him.His exhaustion was almost eating him up, but his strong will was keeping him going – fueling his inner desire to go on and fulfill his duty as the King’s loyal servant.Tamika gave him a wooden crutch to aid him in walking. It was better, though – for he didn’t want any of them to help him with walking. It was hard for him – especially that his arms were forcing his back to move, making his wound ache more.However, his determination
The King's Mate 80: Annoying Creature
Chapter 80POV: King Hades Pierce“So, who is this woman? Why does she need to be here?” He seriously inquired.Silence enveloped amidst them.The moment he saw the two women beside Arlan, he knew that they weren’t just simple women. They seemed peculiar and too furtive – which he didn’t like. He needed to uncover their identities first. Besides, they would be talking about an important matter, which didn’t concern this woman – or that was what he thought of.“They are the ones who saved me from the South Side, Your Majesty. They seemed to know a lot of things, but they didn’t want to disclose them to me. They are also living in the deepest part of the South Side. I can’t pinpoint their real motive for helping me get here.” Arlan anxiously replied.He looked at the woman, who seemed like a lifeless doll – standing in front of them with an u
The King's Mate 81: Spying Traitor
Chapter 81POV: Queen Tamara PierceShe woke up without Hades by her side. She suddenly felt something was off, and she didn’t know why. Her gut was telling her to go out.Tamara yawned as she got up from her bed and looked around – hoping that Hades was just taking a shower like he used to do. But her forehead creased when she couldn’t feel him around.She felt his warmth a while ago, and the proof was also in the disheveled of the bed where her husband was supposed to be. Then, she looked at the clock with her brows furrowed as it said that it was already past midnight.“Where the heck is he?” She whispered under her breath as she got her robe and covered her revealing nightdress.She was wide awake now as she decided to go out and look for her husband instead. He might be getting overworked again.Ever since the Darkwoods started this conflict, she knew that he was making
The King's Mate 82: Brotherhood
Chapter 82POV: King Hades Pierce“Like what we are expecting to happen, they didn’t want to negotiate through that invitation of peace talk.” Raven seriously commented.“Let’s move on to the next plan, then.” He stated monotonously as he rose from his golden throne.“Aren’t we going to wait for Kage? He might have good news to bring or even information that can help us.” Raven shrugged his shoulders as he moved his chess pieces once again.His younger brother looked like a weirdo by playing all by himself. He let out a deep sigh.“We will wait for him first before we move, then.” He responded calmly after a brief pause before walking towards the door.Maybe he still had time to eat lunch with his loving wife, before they moved on with their next plan. He instantly felt thrilled by the thought.Tamara couldn’t fail to make him
The King's Mate 83: King’s Warning
Chapter 83POV: King Hades PierceHe simply nodded at Raven as they both silently walked towards the enemies’ fortress on the South Side. Based on Shanaia and Tamika’s information, the bloodlust rogues – the rogues that Aeron had experimented with – were camping there.But he instantly raised his hand when he suddenly felt like something was wrong.His forehead creased when he realized something.There were no rogues around!Not even one!“What the f*ck!” He lowly let out a curse under his breath.He slightly shook his head as Raven stared at him – they might be thinking the same thing.They were about to go back when the bloodlust rogues slowly went out from the trees – surrounding them.His forehead creased at how they would know that. Tamika had given them a special liquid that could hide their smell, but how the hell…
The King's Mate 84: Finally Caught
Chapter 84POV: Arlan“I can’t believe that someone was spying on us – and on the King, for goodness’ sake!” He blurted it out as he slightly shook his head.They were in the kitchen and eating their snacks. Shimuel and Dillion remained silent as he continued babbling about what the King had announced a while ago.“Whoever that was, I just hope that he had a good reason for doing this to the King.” Arlan continued – turning serious this time.He was munching his bread when he realized the silence between the two third-in-command.“What is happening to the both of you?” He curiously inquired all of a sudden.Shimuel heaved a deep sigh before he stood up.“I just need some fresh air.” He plainly stated, before leaving the kitchen without bidding his goodbye.Arlan’s brows furrowed as he followed Shimuel with his eyes – still puzzled as to why he suddenly turned that way.“What happened to him?” He curiously inquired before looking at Dillion.Dillion let out a deep sigh and shrugged his
The King's Mate 85: Run Out of Time
Chapter 85POV: King Hades PierceHe could sense the tension slowly intensifying around them. And he knew that it was because of his dark and enraged aura. He must stay calm but thinking about his Kingsman’s betrayal was making his inner wolf growl in deep fury.“I am giving you the opportunity to talk and explain yourself, Dillion. Why did you do this?” He said in between his gritting teeth.But Dillion just let out a small smile – making him a bit more impatient.“You aren’t like this, Your Majesty. You should have just ended my life, right here – right now. You already caught me, right?” Dillion coolly stated.It seemed like his eyes were looking at him with melancholy hidden in them – as if they mirrored some pain and grief inside. But now, he just couldn’t decipher whether he still believed what he had been seeing. Especially that he had already been caught off guard – revealing his own betrayal.Hades already had a tiny hint that one of his third in command was the one spying on
