Chapter 601
I rushed to where the sound of the explosion happened, people were scattering everywhere. They were running around in a
complete panic. I had yet to hear from Ryder but I overheard one of his warriors complain how they could no longer link Brennon
for guidance. Ryder must have done what we discussed or was in the process of ending him. I smiled at myself, everything was
coming together the way I had planned. I searched around, as I made my way to the Northern Terrace, for Candace. I should
never have laid my hands on her, but what’s done is done. I could only apologize and hope that she would forgive me in the end.
She should never have flipped her sit on me though. She may have been my mate, but I am still the king. She would surely see
where she was wrong, eventually. I sighed, annoyed that I couldn’t even pick her scent anymore.
I listened to the screaming and began directing people away to where they would be needed or safe. “Make sure you contain
them. If they have breached our walls, make sure they do not pass through our warrior line!” I shouted at a guy. He bowed,
nodded his head at me, and took off to pass down my orders with about forty other men. I watched them turn the corner and I
continued my search for Candace.
I reached the terraces and walked out, pushing open the double glass doors. The balcony stuck out and overlooked the gated
entrance for visitors. I should have known they would be coming in that way. The question was, when would they have done
what they are doing now, attacking us. I looked out at the crowd and spotted Avalynn first. She looked fierce in her tight clothing
that seemed to contour around her curves. I then saw the brute behind her, like a protective wall that could move and shield her
whenever she needed. Everest. I narrowed my eyes at him and my beast let out a deadly growl.
The growl was barely able to escape my mouth when I spotted Candace. What the hell was she doing down there? Were they
going to take her hostage? I noticed another Lycan who looked like Everest and realized it was his cousin, Jeremy. The one we
were going to recruit. Why was he standing so close to Candace? She seemed to lean against him. I scanned over her and she
wasn’t being restrained. What the hell was going on? What did I miss? I let out a deathly growl and all their eyes looked up at
me.
“Candace, did they hurt you?” I asked her between gritted teeth. She looked like she was about to explode or laugh. It was a thin
line, maybe both. Her emotions were hard to read.
“Hurt me?” She laughed at me. Actually it was more of a sarcastic laugh before she continued “Like you did when you slapped
me?” She asked in a super angry tone, in a near yell. I raised my brows at
her. .
“You know I.” Suddenly something was tossed in my direction, and someone yelled “Duck.” It was too late for me though.
Another explosion happened around me and the entire balcony collapsed under my feet. I shifted into my Lycan for protection
and picked up a large concrete brick and hurled it at Everest and his stupid smug face. They all ducked and the siab barely
missed their heads.
I stepped out from the rubble when the rest who were still in their human form shifted to their Lycan forms and wolf forms. I
looked around and let out a loud growl linking my men “It is time. Where are you? What happened to my first line of men?”
“What? Where are you? We have an issue at the south gate! Your brother and that witch are here?! can’t find Ryder!” One of my
head warriors responded.
“Send whoever you can.” I told him. Where was Ryder?
How is Miranda alive? I thought I killed her? How did she manage to survive? I growled out of annoyance.
I only had a few men with me, but it would have to work for now. The cousin jumped at me and i stepped back out of his reach. I
took another slab of concrete and chucked it at him as hard as I could. It hit him and he flew back, landing on his back on the
ground. Candace moved towards him like a magnet. I watched her for a brief moment when she leaned down and lifted the slab
off of him. I heard her soft voice “Oh babe, here, let me help you.” I watched Candace bend down and help him.
Babe? No damn way this is happening again. I seen red. I lunged at the nearest person. They were caught off guard. I heard my
men were engaged in the battle along side of me. I clawed at the smaller lycan’s neck, slashing through his fur and skin as blood
oozed out. Jeremy, Everest’s cousin, was now back
standing and his growl caught my attention.
“Give up.” Everest growled through the link that connected all of the royals.
“Give over what is mine.” I countered and Everest and Jeremy both growled, putting themselves in front of Avalynn and
Candace.
“Over my dead body.” Everest stepped forward.
More men formed around me and when they looked around, I used it as my opportunity to attack. With a growl, my men pushed
forward to Everest and I stood back on the pile of rubble as they all fought. They went and fought the strongest first. Howls,
growls, the sound of bodies colliding and the cracking of bones was all you could hear. The scent of blood being spewed tainted
the air I was breathing in. I scanned the field as my men and Everest and his warriors fought Where is Ryder?
I tried linking him. I could really use his help but it was complete silence on his end. Maybe he is just busy handling Brennon and
is having to block us out.
I saw two of my Lycans approach Candace and Jeremy. They had strict orders to not hurt her but she was putting up a fight and
aiding Jeremy. I shook my head and knew I would have to let her go. If she dies, she dies.
“Do what you must to subdue her. If she dies, so be it” Ilinked the men.
When she lunged at one of them that was about to attack Jeremy, who was dealing with two already on his back, one of my
warriors caught her in midair. His claws were around her throat as she gasped for air, growling and struggling to free herself. She
used her claws to dig into his skin. He slung her against a nearby wall. A crack was heard as her body connected with the wall,
That is when Jeremy was completely livid and began to completely rage out with everyone around him. I could tell his Lycan was
in full control over him. He was killing men and easily, snapping their necks if they were in reach. Stepping over bodies and
moving to his next victim as he made his way to Candace i intercepted him as he snapped a wolf’s neck and I growled at him.
We went head to head with one another, our bodies clashing together as our jaws snapped at one another’s necks. I slung him
off of me a few moments later. I heard the sound of a familiar voice behind me and I froze in my place. I could tell by his voice
the only emotion left for me was hatred. I went to mover and realized I couldn’t.
I didn’t freeze on purpose, but I froze because I literally couldn’t move on my own. Something had come over my body and
restricted all of my muscles from moving.
“Hello, little brother. Can’t move? Good. You should really thank my mate, Miranda.” My brother, Brent, said behind me with
Miranda at his side. Her hand was outstretched and I knew now why I could not make a single move. Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
His mate? He was mated to a dumb witch? How is this even possible? Royal Lycans do not mate with witches. It is impossible. I
could see her out of the corner of my eye. It was her alright and she seemed different and not in a good way. I tried to move but
couldn’t, she had a hold on me and this was going to complicate things on my end. Damn her.
She twisted her wrist and said “Batokne.” It was a word that brought me down to my knees in pure pain as I screamed. She had
a sadistic smile on her face as my pain was bringing her great pleasure.
Avalynn was by her side in her Lycan form and I swear she looked psychotic. She took a few steps forward when Ryder broke
through the window above. Glass falling around, causing everyone to duck from the shards.
Helanded next to me with a growl. When I looked at him, his wrists had silver hand cuffs and chains were around his body. He
was being held captive somewhere but broke free. I knew he was loyal. He had blood covering him and I found myself
wondering whose blood it was.
“Wolfsbane!” My brother yelled back at someone, bringing me back to reality. I broke free as everyone was distracted and lunged
at Everest. It was time for him to meet his maker. He wouldn’t live to see another day. I was going to make sure of that one.
He saw me coming though and darted left of me. Ryder charged my brother and the fight was back on. One of my men went
after Miranda but Avalynn easily snapped his neck.
I focused on Everest and chomped down on his shoulder. He let out a growl as his paw went into my face. It connected and
slashed through my cheek. Our beasts fought one another. I saw a piece of rubble when he had me down against the ground. I
picked it up and slung my arm around as fast and hard as I could, connecting with the side of his face. He stumbled back and I
held him down on the ground, hitting him again. I was so focused on Everest and him being close to death. The next part
surprised not only me, but others around me too. Avalynn completely lost it and did something that shocked everyone here.
Chapter 1
Avalynn POV
I stood by Miranda’s side, protecting her from everything that came her way. She had the bastard right where we needed him. He
was frozen, unable to move and when I heard her say the word “Batokne” watched as Dexter was brought to his knees in pain. I
couldn’t help but to enjoy the pain that radiated from him. I slipped into his mind at that moment to relish the pain he was feeling.
It was amazing to feel the pain he was feeling, to see how afraid he was, to know how much he was freaking out because his
men were failing him. It felt like I was rallying his pain into my own strength. Just as I released his thoughts, another was coming
at Miranda and me. I rolled him away and snapped his neck and watched his body fall to the ground and go limp.
My attention was diverted back above when crashing sounded and my ex-mate came through a window and landed on the
ground. We all ducked as shards of glass fell from above, protecting our eyes and faces from injury. I heard King Brent yell for
Wolfsbane and I looked at Ryder. He truly looked like a monster. His body was a mixture of wolf and Lycan. He was covered in
silver chains and had broken silver cuffs around his wrists.
I heard a commotion and looked over as Dexter was now fighting with Everest. I looked over and saw Ryder fighting with King
Brent. Alycan came charging at Miranda and I fought against him and snapped his neck. Miranda and I were surrounded by a
mix of two lycans and a wolf. i fought them off as she tried to gather her concentration. But the need to help save Brent pulled at
her. I understood that it was her mate and seeing him fighting and outnumbered was a major distraction. I would do the same. I
feel the same. I couldn’t look over at Everest and not want to help. It was clear that after everything was said and done she
would choose to become one of us.
I fought off the next two when a sudden pain snapped through my entire body. My head ached and I looked over at Everest out
of instinct. I knew that I shouldn’t of done it because it was a distraction but what I saw was an absolute horror show. It made me
sick to my stomach to watch. I felt the contents of my stomach try to push its way up as blood spued around Everest and Dexter.
My heart dropped then raised into my throat. It felt like it was so hard to breathe, gasped for air. The sight of Dexter on top of
Everest, concrete slabs slamming into his nearly limp body was horrid. Men were fighting all around, some were struggling
against Dexters warriors. Ryder was fighting Brent and two others and winning. I searched around quickly assessing the
situatuion and realized someone was not with us.
Where was Brennon though? I searched through the thoughts quickly and pinpointed exactly what happened. Ryder. Ryder
murdered him in cold blood with the help of his witch, who was waiting just inside for everything to be finished. Seems to be that
he was helping the witch settle a score of some kind, but not my problem. In a way, Ryder did us a favor. Brennon’s blood
wouldn’t be on our hands and would just result in a tragic death by placing his trust in the enemy. A loud growi brought me back
and out of Ryders’ mind.
I couldn’t explain it but I felt everyone’s panic, rage, and anger just radiating suddenly inside of me. It was like a light being
turned on and a soft glow at first. As the glow began to brighten, I felt warmth radiate all throughout my entire body. It felt like fire
was spreading through every inch of my body. I heard a gasp from Miranda as I felt the urge to let out a scream. My body shifted
The feeling of power, warmth, and anger.
I let out a shrieking scream as light and heat eluded my body. It was blinding and caused a pause in the fighting as everyone
watched wha was happening. I looked at my hands as if something, light or was it
fire, escaped from my body. My skin had turned into a golden color as power escaped me. I felt strong, powerful, and deadly. I
felt the lycan inside of me smile as my power pushed out of me. It was as if she knew this secret and kept it hidden away the
entire time. It seemed that this mysterious force coming
who the enemy was. The power was hitting with such force, knocking them back away from who they were fighting. It gave my
people enough time to regroup and get back on top of things. I could hardly believe what was happening to me
King Brent was able to give a larger dose of wolfsbane to Ryder and subdue him. I will be dealing with him soon.
I looked around and saw Everest lying on the ground barely breathing. I felt rage inside of me. I glanced over to Miranda and
gave her a nod Dexter was beginning to stand up when I launched myself at him, shifting back into my lycan I felt our bodies
collide as I gave over full control to my Lycan She was a powerful force to be reckoned with, especially with all of this pent up
rage Miranda joined me and together we went up against Dexter He fought against us Miranda summoned up her chant and
froze him. I took his head in my hands and banged his face off of a concrete block a few times before looking at him, dropping
him to the ground, and standing over him
I circled around him and growled He was frozen and felt his fear coming off and crashing into me like waves. I couldn’t however
smell the blood from him, odd I wanted this to be painful for him I wanted him to suffer more than anything else in this entire
world would it be best if we waited for a trail or to end him right here and now? I looked over to the men designated as our
medical team, attending to Everest looked down at Dexter and thought back to Trevor and how he ripped an arm away from him
How he took away his parents and his pack, leaving him and his brothers orphaned. He left him with nothing, left him to die. I
thought of all of the men and women whose lives have been affected and destroyed because of him and his actions. All the
peoples he has murdered or helped with the murder I thought of my mates father, King Randolph who died because of this man
below me I thought of Miranda and her family who he murdered. Right then and there I decided that a quick death would not
serve as justice for everyones life he has hurt and caused pain to.
I decided that I wanted him to suffer. I wanted him to feel the pain that he had given for years to come. Death would be a gift and
I was not about to hand those out today. Today I came here with every intention of ending his life. However, we would be leaving
with him under a frozen spell, unable to move. I would give him his trial, but every single day of that trial I would torture him. I
would leave him wishing for death. I would allow time for his Lycan to heal him and I would bring him right back to the brink of
death. looked out at the field of men and women warriors from both sides. Now that they had seen the fall of their leaders, I
spoke to them, in place of Everest.
“Your leaders have fallen. You are now to be transported back to the kingdom and charged with the crime of treason. I will see
you all on your judgement day. Remember you can not hide your thoughts and actions from me.” I smiled and looked over at
Miranda, “Would you mind piacing a freezing spell over them all? I wouldn’t want any trouble from them on our long journey
back.” She nodded her head and with the flick of her wrist everyone who was against us had their hands pulled behind them.
“Wolfs bane them. Give them a strong enough dose to subdue them until we reach the Kingdom in the morning. We will be
traveling straight there.” I looked over to Ted and Jameson and they bowed, running off quickly. I watched one by one as the
warriors began falling to the ground.
I sighed and looked over at Ryder and walked over to him. The wolfsbane only weakened him. The smell of his flesh burning
from the silver was awful smelling.
“Get away from him!” I heard a woman shouting and I looked up at her. I sniffed the air and raised my brow
“Ahhh, yes. The witch who has been helping him, shielding him, making him into the monster that he is now.” I glared.
“I said to get away from him.” She said between gritted teeth. She raised her hand but Miranda countered and cast a spell or
something in her direction, knocking her off of the second level.
We all stood and watched as she fell to the ground and landed on a piece of metal that pierced through her, killing her. I looked
down at Ryder as tears formed in his eyes.
I stood over him with a frown and shook my head. I looked around me, seeing everyone watching me. I didn’t know if I would
have any sort of repercussions, but many people were dead because of who was standing under me. In fact, if he hadn’t sought
out Dexter, some of this could have been avoided.
“1, Queen Avalynn of the Northern Territory, charge you with treason, holding you responsible for the death of King Randolph.
Because of these charges, I am sentencing you to death.” I looked around and my eyes landed on King Brent and he nodded his
head in approval. I looked over to Miranda and she also sent a nod in my way. I turned back to Ryder and I felt nothing but rage
for all of the pain he had caused me over my lifetime. I took a deep breath as memories of being tortured plagued me. I took it
and channeled it inside as I put my hands on either side of Ryders head and snapped his neck.
I took a step back and took in a long breath of air. A single tear ran down my cheek at the loss of my ex-mate, the bond now
completely severed from him. He could have accomplished so much, but he wasted and threw his life away. I turned and walked
off silently without a word.
I sent King Brent a link “Please, if you wouldn’t mind, have your brother transported back to the Northern Kingdom dungeons
immediately. He will stand trial in our Kingdom, as he will be our prisoner and be held accountable for his crimes. You may also
carry out any sentence and invite any of the members of your kingdom to witness his sentencing.”
“Of course. Do you know when sentencing will be, by chance?” He linked me.
“A few weeks from now. Allow some time for Everest to regain his strength to carry it out himself.”
“Of course, Queen Avalynn.”
“Oh and Brent, thank you for all the help from you, Miranda, and your warriors. Without you, this would have been difficult.”
I saw a small smile come from him and I walked out of the yard, leaving things to Brent and Miranda. looked around as I walked
along the destroyed path. I assumed that Jeremy was also in the doctors’ quarters with Candace. I let out a small sigh and made
my way to my mate. I could feel his pain, which let me know that he was still alive.
