INTRODUCTION
Alessia Claw ~
I ran through the woods below the night sky with my heart beating so fast, its way from the danger chasing it. At a point, I was too weak to run any further so I leaned on a tree trunk to enable me catch my breath for a while.
I needed to.
It wasn’t up to twenty seconds of gasping for my breath when a hailstorm of flaming arrows accompanied by several howls came crashing down the ground.
I took refuge from the arrows behind the tree and watched as the flaming arrows rained down the sky and pierced their way into the ground. The lycans were the source of the arrows and I was the prime target.
They were gaining on me and I could feel it. I and my unborn child have to flee to a safe haven in these woods so they won’t get to us. So he won’t get to us. Taking a leap of faith after the hailstorm had ended, I continued my race in the darkness all around the woods.
I couldn’t let them get to me.
I won’t!
Not again, not after all that I had been through before I took the chance to escape. I wouldn’t let them get my child.
Never!
I ran with my eyes and hopes to only one direction in the forest - The Claw’ Royal vampyre coven. I was barely a mile away from it. The sights of lights coming forth from the outdoor torches gave me hope that soon, we’ll be safe.
Hope.
That was the one thing that I needed so badly at the moment. I stood a while and looked back to the sight of my upcoming foes that were tearing their way in the forest to find me.
They were so close that I could feel the vibrations their movement impacted on the ground. The vibrations began getting more and more pronounced. Vibrations that made me realize that if I did not pick up my pace, I would be in their clutches sooner than later.
I was about a stone throw from the coven’s golden gates when my child became due, the contractions began. I could feel my child arriving. In pain, I fell to the ground. This was definitely the wrong timing for child birth. Not when both our lives depends on how safe we are from those mindless lycans.
“Freedderick! Freeedderrriccck!!!” I cried out loudly unable to move any further.
With each contraction, I sensed my breath getting fainter, and fainter.
“Frederick! Help Me!” I cried out with a piercing voice throwing little stones that I could place my hands on to the gate.
My eyelids were getting heavier and heavier with the excruciating pain that I was under making me weaker the more. I tried my best to keep them open and hold on to whatever strength I had but I couldn’t. I was far too weak to even keep my focus on them.
The last thing that I saw before going blank was the different packs of lycans running straight for me. It didn’t matter to them that I am their queen by virtue of being the mate of the alpha of all alphas, their rightful king.
They must be under the control of ‘him’ – the man who killed my husband and stole his throne.
Packs of lycans doing ‘his’ dirty bidding.
The same packs that had sworn allegiance to me as their queen had become the same packs I had tried so hard so I could escape from and had been running away from ever since.
What was going to happen to me and my child?
“Guards!!!”
Getting no immediate response, I submitted gladly to my fate.
Hello amazing reader. Thanks for giving my book a chance. I have very high hopes that you'll enjoy every bit of it till the end. Stay Safe.
Lots of love,
Ulric.
Chapter 1 Frederick Claw ~ “Claudius, you and your men would storm in through the Northern gates of the castle.”
Chapter 2 Frederick Claw ~ “Sofia, Morgana, get her inside.” I said stroking Alessia’s white hair. “Save her! Save my sister!” I added splitting two more arrows aimed at Alessia in half. “My Lord, we shall do all that we can.” “I promise you.” said Morgana taking Alessia from my blood stained hands and into hers mumbling some words as she made her way back into the coven. The coven gates went solid shut behind her. I looked all around and found all the troops to be in position. The archers were in formation and the swordsmen were all ready to protect our coven and the queen. Funny enough, the lycan queen was being protected by my vampire warriors. Odd, isn’t it? The lycans charged to the coven but with a single howl which I presumed to be some sort of signal, they all stopped in their tracks, still in their lycan appearances. “Let’s get straight to the point, your majesty! You know what we came here for so bring her and the unb
Chapter 3 Sofia Xanders ~ “My lord, we shall do all that we can. I promise you.” I heard morgana say taking the queen Alessia, my best friend from the arms of the vampire king.
Chapter 4 Frederick Claw ~ I watched as the dude who seemed to be the leader of the entire army of lycans placed his hand into a small parchment and brought out a diminutive bottle that appeared to contain a red-colored liquid. He brought the bottle in contact with his lips and in a single gulp, emptied the contents inside his mouth. He let out a loud and somehow dreadful roar afterwards. “Now the real battle begins!!!” said the leader fully transformed into a mutant lycan. “Get out of my way.” Mutant Lycans are very rare and most of all, very powerful. They possessed the powers of the average lycan but just in a thousand fold. I, as a vampyre haven’t seen up to five mutant lycans in my tens of thousands of days and every encounter with one was never pleasant except with the deceased lycan King, Leonard Wolfs. There was a common reason why the experiences stood never pleasant, the same reason why nature made them rare to come by - EVIL
