Chapter 72
At around 8 p.m. in Polje, a hundred decipios led by a very excited Rafael join the werewolf and lycan monarch, ministers, warriors and rogues.
Toby muttered in Lucianne’s way, “You got to admit, if they weren’t on our side, what we're seeing now is shit scary.”
Lucianne murmured, “Not if you think about what’s at stake, how many creatures we have to protect.”
Those words shifted Toby’s perspective, and the cold night suddenly became less cold.
After exchanging bows and acknowledgments, Rafael and Toby got their species to partner-up, one decipio for every two lycans or werewolves. Rafael then threw out a stern reminder, “As I’ve mentioned before, we’

When they were far away enough, Rafael said, “May I just say that was a game well-played back there, Your High—”“It’s just ‘Lucy’, Rafael, really. And I wasn’t playing anything. Those two cousins hate each other more than anything or anyone. If they don’t improve when everyone else does, I WILL be practicing with my husband despite the risks.”Rafael took a peek at his best friend now manipulating the king and duke before he said, “I doubt the king and duke would let that happen, Lucy.”When they reached the tree, Lucianne asked, “So, who am I fighting, Rafael?”With a warm smile, Rafael said, “Me.”

As Xandar took steps towards his wife with a proud smile, Toby’s voice of mock discontentment cut through the silence, “You got to admit, that wasn’t really fair. Lucy had a rock nearby. I didn’t.”His vampire partner, Joseph, turned to him and said, “You did, Tobias. You tripped over it.”When laughter ensued from wolves, lycans and vampires, Toby accused, “That was only because you manipulated me into thinking that there wasn’t anything there, Joe.”“No, I didn’t. I was only trying to manipulate you to see your friend, Lovelace, as your enemy. The absence of a rock was the result of your self-manipulation, minister.”When Toby ran out of

Xandar and Greg shared their thoughts with Pellethia, who was more than ready to see it in action. Practice began. When they felt the mental walls beginning to build up, both cousins closed their darkening eyes, letting the manipulation guide them towards the illusion they were being made to see. Pellethia moved from her original spot, walking around them but being careful to manipulate the cousins’ hearing so that they couldn’t hear her footsteps.Without sight, Xandar and his animal could only rely on their sense of smell, sound and touch. Their ears picked up growls from at least ten creatures, but their nose only detected two creatures within his vicinity. One was moving. One wasn’t.Greg only heard one snarling creature, but it didn’t sound like a wolf or lycan, more like a vampire. Scents guided him to a

“Greg,” Xandar uttered in disapproval of the duke’s manner of speaking to Pellethia.Pellethia’s brows raised, waiting for him to rephrase. Greg took this as a start to practice lowering his ego and swallowing his pride when he heaved a sigh and muttered, “May I know what that means?”Pellethia began explaining, “It means that we see the number of figures and objects around you, but we don’t see who or what these are.”“Really?” Xandar asked in absolute surprise.Pellethia nodded in confirmation and elaborated, “Take our recent practice, for example. I knew the number of creatures I’ve set around you both but I don’t know who they we

The mental practice with the decipios drained the lycans and wolves, who were all obviously unfamiliar with their power, and most of them slept in the next day. Lucianne and Xandar only woke up when Reida demanded diaper changes and feeding, and the parents were utterly (and guiltily) relieved that Mrs Parker was coming at noon to babysit. They’d have a few more hours of rest while Reida was in the caretaker’s safe hands.After a short nap, Lucianne went to her reading wonderland and started reading one of Iridessa’s two theses on prisoner reentry, which Ivory handed to her before they parted ways the previous night. She only left the bedroom for ten minutes before her husband came looking for her.It took Xandar zero brain power to figure out where she had gone. He groaned at the emptiness of the bed and drag

It wasn’t really ‘tonight’ for anyone. Everyone was at Polje by late evening. The sunset off the horizon would’ve been a breathtaking sight if it weren’t for the fact that the lycans, werewolves and vampires were there because of Margaret’s vision. She saw fire and heard growls, but thankfully, no blood or anguished howls like the last time. Octavia and Amber came tonight, along with a few other discretus and fortis. Octavia’s eyes and those of the other ten discretus they brought along roamed the surroundings, scanning for proditors. When they did this for a good fifteen minutes but saw nothing, the discretus asked their wolf and lycan counterparts whether they were hearing or smelling anything. None of them did, not even Xandar with the sharpest hearing or Lucianne with the sharpest sense of smell.

Before the five-second cue was up for round two, Margaret heard fierce and loud snarls, the type of snarls that normally hit her eardrums when her rogue pack was surrounded by other rogues who were ready to attack to either steal their supplies or kill her to assimilate her followers into their own pack. Her survival instincts took over, and she opened her eyes to find that she was surrounded by more than ten rogue wolves, and she could see that a part of their shelter was already on fire. It was exactly like her vision. What she didn’t realize was that there was no smoke smell despite the fire, and it didn’t occur to her that their pack had never and would never take shelter in an open space like Polje with no trees to hide them. These logical conclusions were not at the forefront of Margaret’s mind because her mind was do

Tate’s smile grew more radiant when he said, “Considering that you have a wolf that can try to push through silver cuffs; you climbed to the very top of the rogue ladder while raising a daughter by yourself for more than a decade; and the fact that your followers just trusted you when you asked them to follow a plane full of lycans that we’re taught to stay away from, I’d definitely say that you are terrifying.” That made Margaret chuckle, and the sound made Tate’s wolf coo and wag its tail in happiness. Lucianne’s ears perked up when she heard footsteps approaching her, and Octavia offered to keep watch while the queen paused her leaves-weaving as she listened to what Margaret had to say. To Margaret’s surprise, the only thing that came out of Lucianne’s mouth was a relieved ‘thank Goddess’.
