Killian:
We suddenly stopped running. My head was in great pain. I turned to a human form. I had never had this kind of pain. Normally, I don’t give a damn about headaches. But it was different. It was as if something was trying to infiltrate inside my head.
It seemed to expand my brain with something.
‘It’s the memories,’ Dax growled.
And I can only agree. I was certain my past self had already come back to his time. It had been a day or two ago. But the memories started to come to me just now.
Our eyes suddenly turned to a fierce blue, the golden specks helped them glow through the darkness of the night. It was so dark and the moon seemed nowhere to be found. Must be hiding in the dark night.
Ugh! I almost forgot that tonight, the phenomenal blood wolf moon will occur. Was that the reason why my memories came only just now?
My eyes grew wide as I felt the searing pain in my chest. It wasn’t a physical pain… It was an emotional one.
And I suddenly knew why.
‘Yzabelle…’
I felt like being stabbed a million times. I suddenly remembered it all.
Everything.
From the day I met her, how a powerful pull had drowned me. How breathless I was, seeing how beautiful my mate was. How I made up stories to be with her. How I knew she was special and different from every she-wolf I knew. How I reacted when I found out Corbin was her mate too. How I wanted to protect her to the extent that I went with them to meet their ancestors. And how beautiful that night when she surrendered herself to me.
Oh, how I wanted her to be mine, all mine.
I was selfish. I thought my plan would work. But it didn’t.
Yzabelle was my luna. The one I promised to be my only luna.
And I killed her. My selfishness killed her.
‘Yeah, we killed her. We weren’t even able to see mate,’ I heard Dax inside my head.
I could sense the unfathomable pain. And the regrets can’t be calculated.
‘I’m sorry, Dax,’ I breathed. ‘It was all my fault why we ended up like this.’
I felt so down. I had never felt this way before. Until now.
Great regret started to consume me. If only I hadn’t tried to enhance her animal… if only I had tried to have more patience and wait for her wolf to come out… if only—
‘Mate!’
‘What?’ I was confused by Dax's reaction.
‘She was there, near here. She was probably there in the Remus pack,’ Dax said, trying to come to my forefront.
I didn’t try to figure things out more. I could sense her as well. Dax was right, Yzabelle was in the Remus Pack. I didn’t know what was going on or how she was able to get there, but I had to go to her.
I quickly got up, ran and jumped. And the moment I landed on the ground, it was Dax. I could tell how eager he was to come to our mate.
‘Wait for us, Yzabelle…’
Killian:
It was complete chaos when I entered the Remus Pack. I wasn’t sure what was going on, but when I saw Alpha Mavy having a fight with Alaric and Sabrina, I thought I already knew what was going on.
Mavy started it. He and his men attacked Remus. Was that the reason why Seer Ronnie was coming here? But why would he get involved? And where was he? He should have arrived here before me.
Ugh! It was not my concern at all. What was bothering me a lot was why Sabrina wasn’t transforming into her wolf. I understood the others could not transform until the full moon came out. But Sabrina had a white wolf and was different to everyone. Just like us, lycans, she could transform at will, regardless of the moon.
So, what was going on?
I transformed into my human form.
“Stop!” I growled to get their attention. But Mavy had become disrespectful. He didn’t even give the royal bow he should give to a royal.
Where did the bastard get his guts to disrespect me?
Mavy turned to me.
“So, the lycan prince really came,” he smirked. I didn’t like it. I gritted my teeth, trying to suppress my anger. “He was right, after all.”
Who?
I got confused as he continued talking nonsense. But the more I thought about it, I realized that something wasn't right.
“Who gave you the right to attack this pack? You know the rules, Mavy.” I warned him.
“Tss, do you really think I would do this without the higher ups' permission?” He spit out.
What?!
“Don’t use my father’s name to disguise your abusive actions. The king would never allow anything like this.”
“Oh, yeah. Your family reigned for more than three millennia, and you think that everybody was happy with that? You were so absorbed in your power against us that you never realized there were some who weren’t happy about it. You never realized that they were planning a rebellion against your reign.”
What?
That never occurred to me nor to my father. He never mentioned anything about rebellion or anyone against our governance. The king was always open to everyone’s opinions, complaints or even grievances. So, where were these coming from?
Mavy seemed to understand my confusion, he broke into a mocking laughter. It ignited my fury. He was just provoking me and I would never allow any disgrace to my family.
I quickly lunged through him and was ready to finish him with Dax. But…
“No!” I heard Sabrina’s frightened roar.
It was too late when I realized why she shouted with fear. The moment I landed on Mavy, aiming to shred him to pieces, he stabbed something in my neck. I felt a searing pain crawling into my veins.
I couldn’t transform. Dax was nowhere. I could not get in touch with him.
What was going on?
“Too late, lycan prince. You were so dumb.” Mavy smirked with so much pride while holding a syringe.
That must be the thing he stabbed in my neck.
But what was that?
"It's about time we changed the government." He said, full of confidence.
What?!
