Chapter 53
Blake Pov
Everything was going perfectly. The kingdom found its Queen, my king was happy after a long period time, he finally found his own family until the incident that turned our lives upside down. Nobody would have ever guessed that this would happen nor anyone would ever have imagined to even witness this.
But what we are witnessing now, one would only pray to the heavenly lords yo never witness this ever in its lifetime. The wrath of our king.
It happened so fast that no one could do anything. The destruction before me is what no one would ever wish to see. Our king, Dylan Black Bishop in his destruction form emitting his power out of his body in a horrendous way. Scary, terrible extremely unpleasant were the words to describe our king in the moment.
He looked ready to destroy everything. Every single little thing.
I was just returning back to the spot where I had left Cole the last time but what I saw made me all shocked and for the first time in my life I felt fear and scared because Cole was the strongest one in the kingdom and his condition told something different.
Who did this to him?
I saw a wolf body lying from far and from the smell I understood that it was Cole's wolf Spenvee. But what made me cringe was the smell of blood so, I hurried to him and there in the ground was Spenvee huffing out blood and was barely breathing. There were three claw marks on its rib and fresh blood was oozing out of its legs.
"Spenvee! Spenvee” I yelled as I knelt down next to it and took its head on my lap.
"Cole! Do you hear me? What happened?” I cried but Cole's wolf answered in a whimper and blood dripped out of its mouth on my lap to the ground.
“What the?”
“Who this to you?” I cried and tried to pat the wolf's head trying to make it open its eyes but it didn't. But it was still breathing. My heart feared for its best friend. Cole and I were always together even longer than Dylan. Cole was my first best friend. We turned into shapeshifters together, we fought and practiced together, we even worked out together and today seeing the strongest werewolf alive in this earth in such a condition made me feel scared all of a sudden.
I decided to mind link King immediately explaining about Cole, that he is just not opening his eyes. This is bad. Because the kingdom is celebrating at the moment and every single powerful alphas of the world are present in the ceremony. If anything happens to them than the whole werewolf kind will be in danger.
But most importantly I fear for our queen, Aderyn. If anything happens to her, the king would lose it. I told King in the mind link about everything but I was shortly cut off from the link when I heard people screaming.
"D-Danger” I heard Cole's voice in my mind.
"Cole! What happened buddy? You alright? Please open your eyes!” I yelled.
"S-Save h-her!” he said and I saw as Spenvee began to shape shift back into its human form. “Cole!” I cried as soon as Cole's human form appeared before me.
“Cole! Cole! Open your eyes” I begged.
“Th-ey want her. T-They want to destroy our K-King!” he said in the mind link.
"Who is it? Cole!” I yelled and took out a handkerchief from my pocket. Though it was just a mere piece of cloth I used it by applying it against Cole's rib were blood was oozing out.
"Why is it not healing Cole?” I asked confused because the wound should have healed in a normal case.
“Take me to King!” he whispered.
"Open your eyes!” I ordered.
“I can't! It's important! Take me to King e-else we all shall die” he whispered making a chill run down my spine.
When I returned back to the house, the scenery before me made me devastated.
"What is going on?” I cried.
Blood was everywhere with wolf bodies and some wolves lay dead in their human form. Some were injured while some were crying sitting their dear ones.
"K-King!" I saw some alphas running towards our King who looked different.
“No! Don't go near h-" Cyreana was cut off when a ball of power emitted out of Dylan's body which sent us flying backward. The force was so strong that it nearly killed me when I was sent flying backward but I was saved when I hit a tree trunk. Though it was painful but it was better than hitting a rock
“Cole!” I yelled when I saw his body on the ground laying motionless.
I carried him here on my back but when the power hit me I lost my balance and let him slip out of my grasp.
“It's okay! I got him already” I saw Cynthia one of the witches with her hands raised. I looked back at Cole and then only I noticed a green colored light surrounding him saving his body from King's power.
“I don't think that I can control it for much longer. The King needs to stop. He will kill everyone” she cried and I saw tears trickling down her cheeks. The power of king hurting her and the pain was becoming unbearable for her.
"What is going on?” I cried and saw as another wave of power hit us. It was King.
“It's the Queen!” one of the Alpha yelled from all the bizarre that was going on.
“The Queen has been taken away from us,” he completed.
My eyes widened and I looked back at our King's dark form. Eyes red, a black aura was surrounding his body almost like a cloak and his canines out with his claws ejecting out and in every time he emits more power.
I can't even imagine what would happen now. The truth is Aderyn our Queen has been taken away from us by our invisible enemies and here the king is ready to destroy every single little thing. With so many werewolves injured and dead, I don't even understand what to do at the moment. It was supposed to be my responsibility to handle everything in his absence but nobody ever taught me what to do in a situation like this. When the king himself is in the position to destroy everything. “We need to stop him,” warned Cynthia.
"King!" I yelled.
"Your voice is not reaching him,” one of the alpha yelled.
“Try mind linking him,” Cynthia cried.
“King!” I tried to mind link but as soon as I did that I held my head in pain. I felt as if my brain going to blast.
"What happened?” Cynthia asked.
“My h-head it h-hurts” I cried out.
"His wolf is out of sanity now” Pearsyvia the wiser of the all the witches said and the other nodded agreeing with her.
“We need to calm him down first!" Pearsyvia said and everyone nodded.
"Okay! I would suggest every wolf back out to a safe region. We will work in synchronization and we will gather up our power till everyone reaches the safest region. Got it?” Pearsyvia asked and the other witches replied “Got it!” in unison.
“Run till you reach the safest region!” Pearsyvia said.
“I will try to teleport Cole but not to a greater distance. You will have to carry him” Cynthia said to me and I nodded.
Cole lied down on the ground still motionless but I could still hear his heartbeat, it means he was still alive but he needs medical treatment quick and fast.
“Okay on the count of three!” Pearsyvia said and I watched as she began to gather up all her powers by raising and circulating her hands in a rhythmic motion until a green light occurred out of nowhere.
“One!” she said and we all got ready to run away.
I saw as some of the werewolves changed themselves and they carried their mates or injured ones on their back for the run.
“Two!”
I positioned myself for running. The temperature suddenly becoming high and sweats formed on my skin. Only because of King’s power.
“Three!”
We all sprinted towards the woods and I saw Cole getting teleported. I knew I would find him in the wood where I had to carry him. So, I sprinted using all of my werewolf sprinting into the woods. Never have had I ever imagined that one day we all would need to run away from our own king. The witches gathered up their power to form a barrier against King's radiating power and us saving us from him. We all knew that they wouldn't be able to keep this up for too much so we all used our strength to run faster.
As I was running, I saw a white ball of light forming and I saw as the ball took a
shape of a body and it fell on the grassy area. It was Cole.
Sprinting more further, I came to a halt before his unconscious self and took hold of him.
“I will help!” I saw the alpha of the Pinewood Pack lifting Cole with his one arm while I supported his another.
“Thank You!” feeling glad that he stopped for help and together we dragged Cole with us away towards the safer region.
“Do you think everything must be under control?” Derrick the alpha of Pinewood pack asked.
It's already been seven hours till we have sprinted away. Cole has been given medical treatment by the pack doctor and Jenny was still beside him crying her eyes out seeing his condition. But he was still unconscious. He needs to gain his consciousness back because he could give some information about what has happened for he was the sole witness.
“We have to wait till the witches signal us to come back!” I said looking back towards the way we came from.
The sun has set down and we were sitting near the stream where the wounded ones were being looked after by the pack doctors.
“I don't sense any power radiation anymore!” Derrick said and I nodded not feeling King's power. “Has they succeeded in taking him down?” a woman from the pack asked.
“No one can take the king down,” sneered Lily as she walked towards us glancing at Cole once. "Can't you see? It's already late in the evening and yet they haven't been able to cool him down” she said and looked down to the ground. Her eyes devoid of any emotions.
"I feel scared now. I don't ever want to witness his power again,” she whispered.
Exactly after three more hours of waiting, we saw a light forming like a wave and it fell on us. We all heard a faint voice saying “Come back!"
We all walked back towards the house. Some were limping, while some still looked terrified thinking what if King is still not in control, and some looked in a hurry because they desperately wanted to see their King.
Like them, I was too scared but remembering my post and my duties I held up myself and prepared myself for whatever I was going to see.
I vowed that I would serve the king until the end, and it was what I was going to do.
When we reached there, we saw all the witches surrounding someone. It was undoubtedly King's body. At first, I thought maybe his power drained out of his body for emitting so much and now he was laying there unconscious but I was proved wrong.
My heart clenched in pain and in anger seeing his condition. After ages, I was again seeing him in such a condition.
He laid down on the grassy ground crying. Our King was devastated for the loss of his only love. For the loss of his only happiness, for his only family. Aderyn.
Tears trickled down his eyes as he stared blankly towards the sky crying and sobbing not caring that he was pouring his emotions out, nor caring that everyone was watching him, not caring that he was being weak at the moment.
"Come back to me Aderyn. Please,” he whispered.
My fist formed into a ball and my jaws locked tightly in anger. I wasn't angry because he was being weak but on them who made my king like this. When I looked towards my side to see other people's reaction, I saw the same thing in their eyes. Revenge was what one could read from their facial expression.
They wanted revenge because someone has hurt their king. They all looked ready to kill because someone has caused harm to their King and Queen.
Nobody held pity or sympathy for the king's loss but there was a mutual promise between all the werewolves that they need to pay.
At the moment I came to know one thing. If someone harms the kingdom, the King saves his kind and people but if someone harms the King, the kingdom comes down to the field with only one thing in mind. Revenge for hurting our King.
