CHAPTER 51.KING ARCHIE’S POV“Welcome Home, Our King.”The voices of my people resounded as they chorused… Earth vibrated as they howled.None of these people knew about my departure, not by the time I was leaving though but now… Now that I was returning to Royal Hills with my mom who had been oddly quiet and giving me attitude, everyone was out to welcome us back home. “Violet sure handled your absence real well, Kovan. She should be proud of herself.”Jay said sarcastically. Maybe I should have made it clearer that I didn't want anyone to know that I left Royal Hills but even if I did, the activities of the past few days would have announced to the Lycans of Royal Hills that their King was touring the Wereland to find his lost mom.Despite all the challenges that I had faced these past few days, I was just glad that my mom was fine and that Amanisa didn't lose her life. I had lost the bond between us but thankfully, I still had her.“That's worth celebrating so I guess we shouldn
AMANISA’S POV“No drama… Stay low and see how things turn out for now…”Those were words I had chanted to myself as the Lycans of Royal Hills welcomed their ruler back home.That was my decision this time. Arla didn't have to convince me. I made that decision after I realized that nothing good would come out of getting involved in unnecessary drama with anyone upon my arrival in Royal Hills.I was still nursing my broken heart or should I say broken bond? I was still trying to accept the fact that I would have to watch King Archie fooling around with Violet… I was still bringing myself to come to terms with the fact that Kovan would start treating me like a mere servant again…I was still mourning my lost moon dress which I would have fought for if I could buoyantly prove that Damon wasn't the one behind the mysterious attacks. I was still thinking about how I could have gotten a way to contact the members Of the House Of Healers if I had been able to speak to Rahela privately.A lot
AMANISA’S POV“Amanisa…”Ava screamed again, calling my full name as she ran to me while I shook off the eerie feeling that Violet had filled me with. A smile spread across my face and I opened my arms wide enough to take the frame of Ava. Although I didn't spend days with Eva, I could see her face and all of her in Ava as we both drew closer to each other. “Oh, Ama… I missed you so much!”Ava exclaimed as her fragile hands wrapped around my waist and her head rested on my chest. Although I didn't tell her how much I also missed her and looked forward to seeing her again, I revealed that through my actions. Hopefully, she would hear those unsaid words from how I pressed her against my frame... Violet triggered my killer instincts but within seconds, Ava had subdued those instincts and filled me with love… this little werewolf had made it possible for me to forget about killing anyone. “These are the kind of people you should surround yourself with… they are the light to the darknes
KING ARCHIE’S POV“Still no idea on what title to bestow unto her?”Jay questioned as I left the training grounds where I had trained and held a meeting with the gammas that followed me to search for my mom.“Maybe if you help me with finding a way to investigate the mysterious attackers and kidnappers., we will both have figured many things out.”I retorted. Of course, I was interested in getting a title befitting Amanisa since the party would be starting in the next thirty minutes or thereabout but the demand to march into NightShade Pack by the house of Gammas had shared my mind and sense of reasoning into many segments…. Rendering me less active. “Why are you pursuing them when you can make them come to you? Why are we stressing over that when we can act unaffected and watch them act rashly just to get our attention? Have you thought of that?”Jay took a break from talking and clamoring about how to keep Amanisa as our woman and to my surprise, his words made a lot of sense. “W
AMANISA’S POV “The Lycan King asked me to give this dress to you, Lady Amanisa.” One of the palace servants who once joined hands with Harper to maltreat me had told me after I called her into my room some minutes ago. I was skeptical but now that I was walking into the party hall where many Lycans had been waiting, I felt like the gem I was born to be. Kovan knew to pick the best dress even though I didn't like the color of the dress he chose. The whiteness of the dress made me look like a ghost. My porcelain skin became more profound, however, this dress reminded me of the moon dress that I loved so much. “Here comes the Chosen Moon Queen… The first in many years.” A male Lycan on the far end of the hall announced my entrance to the party and gave rise to murmurs from every angle of the hall… fortunately, I didn't care about what anyone had to say about me. Their opinions didn't matter and even though I knew that I had to be mindful and pay close attention to everything and e
AMANISA’S POVSay it! Come on, Kovan. Say it! Name me your queen and I will forget about my revenge scheme… say it, Kovan! The monologue I was having in my mind went on for so long and it was all because Kovan wasn't talking. He left me at the tip of a cliff and now he wouldn't speak… silence seized the hall as everyone anticipated what their King would announce. I could literally pick numerous eyes off Kovan and I would if my eyes weren't one of those that were fixed on his body. I could hear his heart throbbing a little too fast which I believed was caused by the anger he was struggling with at first… however after he kept mute for minutes, I understood that the Lycan King was nervous as hell.“He can't be nervous after announcing such half news. He is killing me right now with his silence, Arla.”I complained to my Lycan Spirit. Arla responded with how she wished she could read his mind at the moment and also told me that she wished she could hit his head with a boulder, hoping
KING ARCHIE’S POV“You speak of fun when the flame of fire has been set on the roof…”That Voice…That Aura…That Person… That Female Lycan… Her entrance wasn't unnoticed by me but it took longer than usual for me to perceive that she had entered the party hall. I would have said that I was distracted by the tingles that were running down my arm and spine or by the urge to make sure everyone respect Amanisa. I would have said one of those but I knew neither of those excuses was the reason. I didn't sense her immediately because her Kind had been away for way too long. I had never been in the same room with her kind ever since I became King. Plus, she was more powerful… than any Lycan in this hall even though the most powerful Lycans were in attendance. “This isn't the time for fun… this is the time you all should be filled with dread because Danger is looming…” The female Lycan with a pure yet strong aura vociferated as she walked even closer to the podium, taking steps as if sh
AMANISA’S POVIntense observation.“You look like a lost puppy, Lady Of Royalty.”Arla corrected my thought and I batted my lashes to get myself together. It was hard though. I mean I was looking at someone that reminded me of how my mom looked and I could have sworn that the healer resembled my mom a lot.She had similar facial and body features with my mom. Right?Or was I just mixing things up? I wouldn't trust my fading memories. I wouldn't believe in the dark memories that I had forced beyond the surface.“Did you hear what she said?”Arla muttered to me. Although she was also feeling connected to the healer that was yet to give me a good look, my Lycan Spirit was handling the weird attraction better than I wasEven when Arla asked that question, I couldn’t help but think about how this healer made me feel more connected to my mom than Rahela back in the Lywolves pack.“That healer’s name is Davina, Ama… Focus, please. Can’t you perceive the fear in the room?”My Lycan Spirit call
