CHAPTER 26: DOUBLE TROUBLE
Bella’s POV
Coming to the waterfalls on a full moon night was not a great idea and it was further proven by the fact when I was surrounded by three quarters of a dozen odd rogue wolves who seemed too eager to devour their prey which was me. Yay me !
They barred their fangs as they circled around me and I had started to feel that they were doing some sort of a tribal dance before attacking me.
What was the fucking point of just roaming around their prey ?
By the way, rogues were trouble making wolves and they were usually the ones who were banished from their packs because of their nefarious activities.
“I wish you were 18 already”, my Lycan, Snow whined in my head while I took position in a defensive stance. “I would have ripped apart these bastards in no time”, she growled making me chuckle.
“Just a few days more, Snow. After that, there will be no stopping of you”, I replied. “But first things first, we need to get back to our dorm on time. No one is there and we can’t arouse suspicion among the hostel authorities. I need to deal with these mindless pricks quickly”, I added.
“Then give them hell, gal”, Snow cheered as she receded to the back of my mind making me smirk.
I craned my neck side by side as I waited for the notorious wolves to make the first move.
As predicted, the rogues failed to identify my Lycan blood as I was using the strongest suppressants and mistook their prey as “human” making them attack with zero tactics whatsoever.
Three rogue wolves jumped together from different directions, only to be thrown straight against the sharp rocks to their bloody death in no time.
The others looked at the dead trio in shock and that was the second mistake they made- the first being that they dared to fucking attack me.
Grabbing the nearby, unsuspecting wolf by his neck, I crashed him straight against the ground and threw a swift punch into his neck pipes, making them burst under the hard impact of my bone hard knuckles.
Yup. That was four down. Five more to go !
The others looked at me with anger inflamed eyes and that was the third mistake they made- that was letting their anger get the best of them.
Attacking more mindfully this time, three wolves formed the outer circle while two wolves attacked from opposite sides but as I said, the result of the fight was already pre decided when they left their flanks unguarded in a bid to solely attack me.
Attacking your enemy was not wrong but attacking without any shield was the greatest blunder.
Leaping high mid air at the exact critical moment, I kicked the two incoming wolves with a horizontal leg split with my heels digging straight in their necks and the two choking wolves fell to their death while I body rolled to land on my twos effortlessly.
This seemed to madden the Rogue leader the most, among the remaining three wolves as he dashed straight towards me like an arrow while the other two wolves held their ground behind me.
“Throw the leader over the minions and let them fall down the waterfall. They will surely crash into the knife sharp rocks down there”, Snow guided and that is exactly what I did as I slid beneath the huge wolf’s body and grabbed his hind legs before swirling him around and throwing him over the other two wolves so that they went crashing down the peak.
“It was fun watching that kind of action and drama”, Snow remarked. “I wish I had popcorn too”, she lamented making me chuckle.
“It was not a movie, Snow”, I answered amused.
“Yeah ! It was more of a trailer. Now that you killed 9 rogues, this place will surely be under the scanner. You should burn their bodies before anyone deduces their murderer”, Snow urged.
“You are right but what about the wolves that I threw down the waterfall ?”, I asked worriedly as I peered down the cliff and saw their dead bodies slashed through the deadly rocks.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“Don’t worry about that. Just swim to them”, Snow suggested and I agreed to that.
I quickly rounded up all the corpses and burnt them using dry grass and sticks around me before diving down straight along the waterfall.
As soon as I reached the water surface, my body cut through the icy cold water cleanly making me slightly shiver, although I was a Lycan and we did not feel cold that much.
“You will have to swim against the flow, Bella”, Snow clicked her tongue in annoyance in my head.
“It’s alright. The spot is not very far away”, I coaxed but the female Lycan still seemed to be restless.
“I sense different vibrations in this place”, Snow cautioned and I too felt the hairs of my back rise on sensing something that should not be here.
“What are we feeling ?”, I asked Snow worriedly as I dove underwater and swam against the natural flow of the river.
“Scared I guess ?”, Snow answered pat.
What the fuck ?!
“Dumb Lycan”, I growled. “I meant what are we sensing ? What is the source ?”, I exasperately elaborated.
She was a brilliant wolf most of the times but she loved pulling my leg at the most inappropriate times. Argh.
“I have no idea but I guess we should stay under water and hide behind the large boulders. As far as I can feel, I am guessing it is our worst nightmare- the Dark Overlord !”, Snow revealed and I felt my heart skip a beat on hearing his name.
Shit !
“Snow, try to recede back in my mind and do not come out till the devil leaves the place. I don’t want him to sense our presence”, I ordered and the Lycan thankfully obeyed without much ado.

Bella’s POV
“Your son is surely somewhere around, My Lord”, an old Seer said as she led the way towards the dead rogue wolves that I had killed not long ago.
Fuck !
I am doomed if they find my essence or any other implicating forensic matter on their corpses.
What do I do now ?
“Pray”, Snow whispered in my head.
Not funny. But hey !
“What the hell, Snow ?! Hide !”, I growled angrily through the mindlink.
“I have an idea, Bella. Use your knowledge of the Dark Arts to create a missile and blast them away”, she replied. “You can do it before they reach the spot”, she added and rolled back at the back of my mind.
Yeah !
That’s right !
The clever Lycan had come up with the best solution possible !!
Why didn’t I think of that before ?
I could fire easily from the spot where I was hiding in the river.
As quiet as mice, I formed a Fire Wheel using my self taught knowledge of Dark Arts and pushed it with a firm blow towards the intended destination and quickly changed my hiding place.
Swimming underwater, I hid at the opposite side behind the huge boulders and luckily or unluckily enough it was directly below where the Dark Overlord and the Seer stood.
Great !
Just fuck my life.
Why Moon Goddess ? Just why ?
“My Lord ! Did you fire one of those ?”, the Seer asked puzzled as the bodies burnt to their death.
“No, I didn’t. I am sure that the rogues around this place are fighting amongst themselves”, the Dark Overlord confidently brushed aside the matter. Wow ! He really was a cocky bastard !! “I can smell their stench everywhere. Might as well quickly finish our business here. I want my son back”, he added.
“My Lord, excuse me but searching for your son would be like searching for a needle in a haystack. We don’t even know if he was born as a vampire or human. His mother hid him well before dying”, the Seer replied.
“What the fuck did you see about the future then ?”, the Dark Overlord growled. “Don’t tell me that you could not see his fucking face !!”, he dangerously boomed.
The Dark Overlord had a son, about whom he did not know ?
Wow !
This was called true real life drama.
Awesome.
“M-My L-Lord, I could n-not see his f-face b-but I-I could s-see t-that ….”, the Seer stuttered but suddenly trailed off when the Dark Overlord probably held the Seer by her neck coz I could hear her choke and gasp for air desperately above me.
“WHAT DID YOU SEE ? SPEAK CLEARLY !”, the Dark Overlord spat before flinging the old woman against one of the rocks.
After coughing hysterically, the Seer finally opened her mouth to speak, “M-My Lord, I-I saw that he had two mating marks on his neck and they were royal Lycan marks !”, she revealed.
“IMPOSSIBLE !!”, the Dark Overlord shouted.
“And the trio succeeded in killing you. You need to hurry up and hunt down your son before he finds his mates or mates with them. Once that is done then the figment of the future that I saw would surely come true. Your only way to stop that is by finding your son or killing one or both his Lycan mates”, the Seer guided the villainous fellow.
“No one can kill me !”, the Dark Overlord roared with gritted teeth. He is such a cocky ass ! He is not an immortal that no one could kill him. I can bet his dark, evil black heart that a bitch’s STD could kill him too. Son of a bitch. “I had killed each and every Lycan ! Then how can there be two of them roaming around ?”, he growled darkly.
“Back in my younger days, I heard a rumour that the Beta of the King of Lycans had secretly succeeded in saving his newborn son but his wife could not make it due to childbirth complications and lack of medical staff amidst the ongoing war with the King’s arch enemy. If the rumour was true then one of the Royal Blooded Lycans must be that son”, she deduced.
Does it mean that I am the other Royal blooded Lycan and that I have two male mates ?
One of them is a vampire and the other is a Royal blooded Lycan like myself !!
I needed to find them out soon, before the Dark Overlord found any of us out !
The only thing that I was thankful in my entire life was my ability to make the strongest and most powerful suppressants- the knowledge of which only Royal blooded Lycans held.
I stumbled upon the secret recipe when I was trying to find my mother but I found my father’s Beta instead who happily showed me the entire process !
May God bless his kind soul.
“Ask my Beta and his best of soldiers to disguise themselves as humans and search every fucking inch of this goddamn place”, the Dark Overlord commanded. “I want those rascals dead save for my son. He will be my heir”, he added and the footsteps receded away.
Oh fuck !
I had to be careful now.
I had to only wait for my 18th birthday and find my mates as quickly as possible.
I just hope that it won’t take long to find them.
Otherwise, the Dark Lord’s men might catch up on his son, given the supreme and mega size of resources that he commanded.
I hope that the Moon Goddess would help me avenge the death of my pack and save other innocents who were endangered by the devil’s evil presence.
I was going to destroy that man just the way he mercilessly murdered my loved ones.
But for now I had to hurry back to my dorm.
I could not afford to get caught by mere humans now.
Ughh.
