The time had finally come for the cleansing ceremony and every member of the royal family including Emelda, Yemanja, the chief priest, Sir Sule, Sir Theo, and Adolf were in the large hall where the ceremony was going to be held.
A few items and herbs were needed to make a portion that was supposed to be used on Cyrus’s head for the cleansing and the chief priest had already arranged the items on the table.
It was now time to begin the ceremony and surprisingly Yemanja was eager to start it. Like Yemanja had earlier noticed, she could feel her powers and magic burning inside her and for a long time, this feeling had been absent in Yemanja’s body. All her magic had been used in upholding the curse and now that she had let go of the curse, she could feel the rush and it almost made her feel orgasmic.
Yemanja couldn't wait to be able to go out to practice her magic. The first thing on her mind was her garden, she was already thinking of the growth sprout
Lucius was experiencing every single type of pain that was known to man in his body all at the same time.For one, his head felt like it was carrying the weight of the world and his brains were jabbing pangs of pain at him at the same time.Lucius could feel hot tears running through his face from his bloody eyes but it felt as if the tears had been laced with coal and they tore at his skin as they ran down his face.His chest felt tight and he could feel his ribs expanding and his chest was growing bigger as his ribs stretched from side to side.“ARGHHH,” Lucius cried out in pain some more while his brother, father, and Emelda, watched in amazement.Lucius had read books of werewolves who had described what it was to shift for the first time but none of those books came close in describing what it was he was currently going through.Lucius could feel his blood boil and his nostrils were starting to pick up scents that he wasn't
Adolf was in Darius' bedroom at the left-wing side of the palace exactly twenty-four hours after Yemanja’s curse had been lifted from the royal family members and there was a particular reason why he had come to check on his friend and Alpha.Adolf was the one person who knew Darius more than anybody else and so he was able to guess the kind of situation that Darius was in at that moment.Cyrus, Darius’s father had surprised everybody by indicating that he wanted the throne back and Adolf knew what that meant for Darius. Adolf understood how much the throne meant to his friend and he also knew the sacrifices and mistakes that Darius had made in a bid to get the throne.“Your father is having a swearing ceremony soon. He is going to take his place as king and Alpha once more. Leaving yourself and Lucius to wait for many more years to come,” Adolf went straight to the point.“Yes, I know that Adolf. I was there when he announce
“What do you intend to do about it?” Adolf continued his conversation with Darius. Adolf could still remember the last time that Darius had admitted to having feelings for Emelda and it had been on their way to Silver lake kingdom while they had been searching for a cure. Adolf could still remember how Darius had been embarrassed by admitting to having feelings for his brother’s feelings and looking at Darius now, Adolf could not see any trace of embarrassment. Darius was serious about his feelings and Adolf could almost tell that Darius was going to do something about it. “I don’t know what I am going to do, Adolf. But the truth is that Emelda hates me. We had a fight the last time we spoke, that was before the battle for the throne. She had come to me with the hopes of convincing me to step away from the battle and I had turned her down.” “Hate is a strong word you know, I doubt if Emelda could hate anyone. Not even you,” Adolf encouraged. Darius sh
The council of chiefs headed by sir Theo had now put together a ceremony that was supposed to reinstate Cyrus as the king and Alpha of the Lakewood kingdom and the Lakewood moon pack and the morning of the ceremony had arrived. Before then, the crew that had been sent to the Silver lake kingdom had successfully recovered the weird king and he was locked up in a cell in the basement alongside Gedoni and Tobias.The royal advisers had agreed to their execution and that was the hallmark of the ceremony.The three traitors were going to be executed by Cyrus after he got crowned as king again. But before the ceremony started, Emelda and Lucius were tucked away in Lucius’s bedroom.“what are you going to do after this?” Emelda asked him with hope in her eyes. A Lot had changed for Lucius ever since he became a wolf, he was a different person of some sort. He seemed more in control of himself and his mood had gotten better a hundred percent. Lucius was already a ha
“How did he try to fix it?” Emelda asked Lucius. patiently, Lucius explained how Darius had gone to the Silverlake kingdom in an attempt to get the antidote for her. Emelda listened patiently as he explained everything to her but still, the pain in her heart wouldn't go away. She wanted to let it go but was finding it difficult to do so. Her heart was heavy and by the time Lucius was done with an explanation of what occurred between Darius and the weird king, she had to tell him how she still felt. “I hear everything you're saying Lucius but it hasn't helped in easing the pain I feel,” she admitted. Lucius squeezed her hand in his, “time will tell Emelda. Time will heal your wounds. I don't want you to go around with a grudge in your heart, you can see how that affected your grandmother,” he cautioned. Emelda nodded because what Lucius said to her made absolute sense. Nursing a grudge could lead to dangerous emotions that could lead to drastic
Darius noticed Emelda and Lucius walking towards the door to the hall even before they saw him. It was a mere thirty seconds of watching them-her to be precise but that was enough time for Darius to take in every inch of Emelda’s beauty. She was beautiful and even more graceful as she walked towards the door to the hall where the ceremony was being held and Darius could very well see that the Palace life suited her perfectly. It seemed like she had been born for royalty and he couldn't help but appreciate her gratefulness.But then, he was reminded of the awkward position he was in with her by how his chest tightened and his breath almost seized. In an instant, Darius had gone from admiring her to feeling like his very essence was being choked out of him. It all happened so quickly and even though Darius hadn’t meant for it to happen, he found his eyes wandering towards her, and the next thing, their eyes were locked!Emelda on the other hand, locked eyes w
Minutes after Darius, Lucius, and Emelda entered the hall, the ceremony began with a short cleansing session performed by the chief priest.The hall was filled with royalties from all the nearby kingdoms who paid their allegiances to the Lakewood Kingdom. The presence of the kings, queens, princes, and princesses could not go unnoticed. Everyone felt the presence of the distinguished guests as they all took their seats ceremoniously.But more than the royalty, another group that stood out, even more, were the different werewolf packs that had turned up for the event. The hall was equally loaded with different Alphas to Betas and down to Omegas. Anyone who was considered as an important personality, werewolf, human, or witch, was present for the greatest ceremony of all time.It wasn't every time that king and Alpha got to take the throne a second time, it was a historic event. One that had never occurred before and anyone who had the privilege of getting an invite
All the guests started to exit as well, starting from the royalties that were seated on the front rows, and soon, the hall which had been filled to the brim was suddenly empty.The crowd marched to the battle filled and Cyrus took a seat on the podium.There were five seats on the podium and Lucius helped Emelda to one of the seats as he and Darius took the next two seats beside her. There was only one seat left on the podium and Sir Sule joined them on the stage, seated close to his King and Alpha, Cyrus.“Bring in the traitors,” Cyrus commanded and the gates of the battlefield opened up.Six hefty men dragged in the traitors- Gedoni, Tobias, and Barroc. Holding each of them by their arms and aggressively they flung them on the floor, right there in front of the podium.Cyrus got up from his seat and took a few steps till he reached the edge of the podium.With utmost disgust, his eyes turned from one man to the other as the men loo
