I felt a surge of strength momentarily as I stared at the sight before me.Fresh wolves had come to join the battle, about fifty of them. Duke and his army didn't even stand a chance as the new wolves tore through their ranks. They were led by an imposing-looking wolf who fought as viciously as I would have imagined him to.All the wolves who had been attacking me had focused their efforts on fighting the new army and the wolf whose face I had shredded lay dead flung across the floor with his stomach torn open by one long swipe.I tried to search for Arnou amidst the commotion and when I saw him I let out a growl of anger at the wolves still battling with him. Arnou was dragging one limb behind and he was covered in injuries but he still fought viciously.I tried to rise and help Arnou battle the wolves that were threatening to overwhelm him but I couldn’t stand on my ruined leg while it was trying to heal.Two of the wolves battling against Duke’s army seemed to notice the source
I looked at Arnou with a raised brow. I had no idea where we were so I had no way of knowing how safe our location was. Although if it were an enemy, the person wouldn't have knocked.Arnou nodded at me in reassurance and called out to the person at the door.“Come in”The door opened and a huge man walked in. He was so tall I had to raise my head to look at him.“Sorry to disturb the both of you. How are you feeling now Princess?” The tall man asked me.I smiled pleasantly at him in response.“She’s feeling better but she’s still healing and cannot speak yet.” Arnou replied on my behalf.“I’m glad to hear you’re feeling better. I don’t want to rush you but we do need to make a decision about alpha Duke and his Luna. We’re holding a meeting about it and your presence is requested.” The man said.“I’m not in any shape to go to a meeting right now Arnou.” I said softly in Arnou’s head.He nodded at me in understanding. If the man think it strange that Arnou and I seemed to be having
I tried my best to remain as still as possible. The person seemed to drop something on my bed. I couldn't be sure what it was because my eyes were still closed.After dropping whatever it was that the person had borne, the figure walked out of my room and shut the door.I was terrified at how easy it was for a random person to get into my room while I was supposed to be sleeping. I remained on my bed and waited for a bit in case the person decided to come back.After what seemed like 5 agonizing years but was 5 minutes, I opened my eyes and searched around for a match to light my bedside candle.Finally, with a candle in my hand, I began to search for the place where I had felt the person drop something.I found a package of some sort hastily wrapped in dirty brown paper. I was wary about opening it but was too curious to resist finding out the content of the package.I loosened the thread that tied the paper together and gently unwrapped whatever lay beneath the paper.It was a book.
Arnou and I arrived at the meeting room where the trial was to take place, as soon as we entered all the people in the room stood up from their seats and waited for us to sit first before they sat back down.Arnou gestured to a maid and asked her to get me some food.“Good morning Princess.” The Luna of the Blue Pearl pack greeted me.I smiled pleasantly at her and replied“Good morning.”The door opened then and two guards stepped inside the room, they had Duke bundled up and bloodied between them.I wrinkled my nose in disgust. Why did the generals feel the need to bring Duke here to witness his trial? He should have been left in his cell.I turned to Arnou and whispered as such in his mind.He smiled a bit at me and replied mentally.“Valeria was left in her cell. Duke is here because we might need some information from him about the documents and pack affairs.”As soon as Duke was well positioned, the trial started.“Lycan, Duke is guilty. He has successfully raped several high-pla
“Hii, I’m Mark.” One of the twins said proudly as he extended his tiny hand for Arnou and me to shake.I bent down to his height and gave him a beautiful smile.“Stop it. Mama said we shouldn’t talk to people we don’t know.” The other twin said as she came in front of her brother protectively.My heart panged a bit at the mention of the mother she would never see again. Arnou seemed to sense the meeting was hard for me and took over.“Well, we’re not strange people. Your parents know us very well. I’m not a bad man, I protect and look after everyone in the werewolf territory. Even you.” Arnou said conspiratorially as he joined me at their level.The twins looked at Arnou with admiration shining in their eyes.“Really? You must be like my papa then” The twin who had originally come up to us said wide-eyed.I was the one who replied to him.“Exactly, but he takes care of even more people than your papa. And today we’re here to take care of you. Your mama and papa are going on a very long
Arnou smiled widely at me and said“I'm so happy you agreed. I can't wait for this trip to be over so we can go home.As soon as we get home, we're going to have the best wedding.”Arnou laughed excitedly as he brought his lips to my own. I kissed him back, laughing so full of joy, while Eva was busy during a happy victory dance.And I knew at that moment that no matter what I faced in this new relationship, I would always be happy with Arnou.I lay on my bed with a lazy smile on my lips. Arnou was fast asleep beside him, and I occasionally stole peaks at the man who was soon to be my husband. I had been floating in a wispy bubble since I decided to get married again. I wondered if Aronu had already mind-linked some members back home about our engagement.I fell asleep with a smile, testing how the word home felt on my lips.The next morning, I awoke to an empty bed, I stretched out my hand and felt the side of the bed where Arnou had slept and it was cold.I sat up and stretched out
“Daciana, our marriage will make you the queen of queens. The power resides solely in your hands. You get to decide who attends and who doesn’t.You’ll decide the treatment a guest gets. You’ll be in charge of everything. I will be right there beside you, cheering you on and supporting every decision you make.” Arnou said softly to me.I held his hand tightly and smiled at him. Arnou has a way with words, he always knows the right thing to say to me.“You know what? Let them come. There’s no reason for me to hide my happiness from people who strive to see me unhappy.” I said cheekily with a smile.Arnou barked out a laugh and kissed the top of my head.“So is it okay with you if I mind-link granny and Alisa about the wedding?”“Yeah, go ahead” I responded feeling so happy and confident about my decision to join with Arnou.The journey to the Crystal Star pack was smooth. Our soldiers still came with us even though it was not an enemy pack. I slept for a better part of the journey and
One thing that everyone was aware of even the little children, was to be wary of the lady with eyes like molten gold. It was an old story passed around for generations from wolf to wolf.Here in the wolf territory, golden eyes were associated with witches. Several millennia ago, all the supernaturals, had co-existed together in peace.But then the leader of the witches, a woman greatly renowned for her beauty and golden eyes seduced the Lycan who was in power. She had seduced him until he let down his guard, and she had killed him with a poisoned kiss.His death had sparked a very large war, that the earth still felt the echoes of, several years later.The war had been terrible and had lasted incredibly long but finally, the golden-eyed lady had been killed.Her death signaled the end of the war and the beginning of a new regime. The werewolves mapped out their territory separate from that of the witches, and put up a border the witches were not permitted to cross.Most werewolves liv
