Chapter 175
Koan stilled, his hand automatically releasing from its tight grip on Talia’s neck before backing away, watching as her body slid to the ground, slumping sideways like a log of wood.
He just stood there, eyes wide, the anger clearing from his eyes as he watched Nancy and Brittany run to her, falling to their knees to check If she was still conscious, fussing over her.
“I think it’s better if we go… ” Barton whispered from behind, seeing as Koan looked dumbstruck, his gaze still fixed on the three women.
“Besides, I don’t think it’s wise if you and your mate go together since you two are the main pawns on whatever the king’s up to. You two need to split up p>
Koan just sighed, shoulders drooping which Barton didn’t take notice of as he moved close to Brittany, bending to her height on the ground.
“We’ll take the left pathway. That leaves you three to the right.” He whispered before he turned away. Koan turned to follow him, and that’s when Nancy glanced up at him, tears in her eyes before glancing back down, holding Talia’s head In her arms.
Kitsunes flew to the side, slamming onto the wall, creating a quaking atmosphere in the throne room before they dropped to the floor for the nth time.
“You worthless fools!” The King growled and the throne room shook; even more than the previous quake.
Fiona just sat there on the throne, face stoic as she stared blankly in space, sitting upright on her throne, clad fully In her royal attire.
She was other-worldly beautiful and bore the exact physical features as Sakuarr who stood next to the throne, the same blank expression in her eyes.
The princess’s hair was parted at the middle and held up in a high ponytail, a shiny red gemmed tiara placed atop her neatly brushed up hair.
Her gown was long and swept the floors as she crossed her legs, exposing her thighs at the side due to the double side split, embroidered in gold.
Her sword, the gem, red and shiny was to the holster at her side, adding a sense of warrior to royalty. Even the King couldn’t take his eyes off her when she appeared before him after Sakuarr had calmed her down.
King Jacob was angry that the Kitsunes has once again failed in bringing the heart of the last Alpha needed for the ritual, and time was running out.
The fire elemental Kitsunes, Bubblegum, Raven and Starfire were breed and kept for years in case Sakuarr lost control and tried to kill him or destroy the entire Foxtune clan. Just one of them could wipe half the werewolves’ territory, but now, the three of them combined couldn’t even perform a single task as killing a single Alpha.
It wasn’t a Joke anymore. Their powers were failing, and his existence was failing as well.
They didn’t have time.
He wouldn’t dare to send Fiona and risk having to loose another person for the ritual. No. There had to be another way.
As he thrashed the Kitsunes— who were unfortunate evough to have been tasked with informing the king of the bad news, around the throne room— Daniel’s head poked out from the side of the wall which was right behind the thrones (which would lead him back to the dungeons p>
He saw Fiona’s back turned to him and his expression turned wistful as he stared at her sitting there, ever so graceful, not even flinching as the Kitsunes were tossed around like Ragdolls.
His eyes grew cold on seeing the king, yelling words he couldn’t understand while thrashing his subjects around. He couldn’t see his face, but he felt a spine chilling sensation run down his entire body. It was like he was thrilled, but not in a way which would excite him. It was out of dread.
“King Jacob, I haven’t seen you crack a genuine smile since all these commotions started. You don’t even seem to acknowledge the fact that your wife returned… you’ve just had your face kept like it’s the end of the world.” Sakuarr scoffed, turning to float Infront of him with folded arms while the Kitsunes lay dead below her.
Daniel frowned.
’Wife p>
“Queen Moana is Alive?’ Kevin said, but Daniel was submerged in shock to acknowledge that the question was meant for him. He dismissed it off as rhetorical, not wanting to even whisper and attract attention to himself.
The King sighed.
“Sakuarr, you’re my only hope right now. Don’t fail me.” He said for the nth time after instructing her on what to do.
“I’m not the Fire Princess for nothing.” She seductively said and he glared at her before she cackled, backing away into the air, using one hand to lift the bodies up before turning them to ashes without much attempt.
“You know,” She slowly brought her hands down, smirking at Fiona whose expression hadn’t faltered since then before she turned to King Jacob. “The reason you’re doing all these is to attain your full powers and finally rule the entire werewolf territory right p>
“I have to actually get up from this cursed throne.” He snapped at her, sighing to finally place his chin on his hand, elbow on the throne arm.
“You need enough powers to absorb more internal energy from her to enable you do that… “
’I don’t like where this is going.’ Kevin stated and Daniel’s heart pounded faster as he listened, not daring to peek for fear of Sakuarr catching sight of him. He just hoped his current scent wouldn’t fade off and expose his prescence.
“Get. To. The. Point.” He spat, clearly irritated.
“If you mate with Queen Moana… then you can attain all the powers you could ever need. You don’t even need the Alpha’s heart anymore. You can get all the energy you want.. just from her.” She turned to Fiona who only blinked, turning to her father with a confused expression.
“Father… what is she talking about p>
“Don’t mind your crazy aunt, dearest,” he shot her a dark look and Sakuarr only smiled as she floated back. “She’s saying nonsense p>
“You were going to mate with her anyway. So why not do it there,” She spoke so casually and this further irritated the King. “If you are considering the mating position while sitting, I can.. “
“Sakuarr. Leave p>
Daniel’s jaw almost dropped to the ground on hearing her words.
Now it made sense. For some reason, Sakuarr must have confused Fiona for Moana since they shared very similar physical qualities. So when she said something about the king mating with queen Moana, he meant her p>
HIS mate?
