CHAPTER 87 – BLOOD AND VICTORY

Book:Luna Between Alphas Published:2024-10-27

SCARLET’S POV
We fought vigorously and recklessly against the Titans, their armies going down by the seconds. But they were a force to be reckoned with and I had greatly underestimated them.
The fights went on for days, with no side taking a break. We fought day and night, each side fighting to keep what it lays claim to.
When I had taken over the fight, I sent almost half of the warriors home. Those that were wounded, and those that volunteered to leave. Chamlee came with sufficient backup, more than those that half returned back home.
But the Titans were like sands, with so many of their allies fighting alongside them, all eager to defeat us and bring us crumbling on our knees before them.
The fight was still ongoing when I came across Rich and Landon trying to adjust their armours. There have been on the battlefield since the fight began and I fear they might be completely exhausted.
“Chamlar” they bowed as soon as they recognized me.
“Now you both should go home” I ordered.
“Never shall we leave your side, Chamlar. We are sorry” Rich replied.
“But you need to reinforce, at least gain some strength and come back. You’ve been going for almost a week now” I persuaded.
“We will remain here until we win, Chamlar, we are prepared to die,” Landon said.
At this point, I knew that there was no need to go over this with them. The least I can do is to send one home and then look for a way to send the other.
When I figured out what to do, I said. “Landon, you will have to return and all the warriors that have not been to this fight should come over immediately. You will have to help Lara with the slaves. Please look after the girls for me. you know how dear, Lara, Mia, and Kendra are to me”
He hesitated a while and then he bowed. “I will do as you instructed, Chamlar, but I will return if the fight is not over in two days,” he revealed.
“Okay. I have Rich and Chamlee here with me” I responded.
With this, he shifted to his wolf and ran off to the palace.
“Rich, you know you won’t have to remain here forever, right?” I asked.
“You are here, dear, and here I must remain” he replied.
“Then if you are doing this for me, look for a safe place, rest, and continue tomorrow” I appealed.
“The reinforcement will arrive by tonight. I will do as you say once they arrive” he agreed.
“Thanks, Rich” I smiled and he smiled too and immediately ran off into the battlefield with a shout of war.
I saw how tired he was, but he was doing this for me. If I do not do something to end this fight soon, I might have to lose him or a very important part of his body.
I continued to watch him from where I was standing. I watched as he attacked two Titans that were dealing mercilessly with our warrior and out of nowhere, another Titan emerged and used the side of his sword on Rich’s neck.
He struggled for some time before he finally let out a big scream and fell. He attempted to rise almost immediately but fell again and then he started to grope on the ground unable to hold his neck. After what seemed like an endless battle to regain his stamina, he finally shifted into his wolf but was still helpless as the wolf was already weak.
Stake was filled with rage. She grew reckless from the sight before her and immediately let out a terrifying growl that saw everyone staggering from the effect while trying to maintain their stamina.
Furiously, I shifted into Stake and launched into the battlefield, tearing every enemy I came across.
Immediately Stake entered the field, there was confusion between the Titans and they started running and surrendering to us. But by now we were already enraged and so we followed them in great pursuant, chanting our song of victory. Bodies of lifeless Titans littered the ground and their blood overflowed in the field.

ATOOR’S POV
“Today we are all gathered here to witness a very great event in the life of our great queen, the Chamlar of Pixolands, the queen of the Pixies, and our son, the Chamlee of Pixolands” I announced.
The hall was still, all seated and quiet, eager for the event for today. The Chamlar would be taking our Chamlee as her king and it was a really great event that no one would want to miss, it was an honour on our land.
“Today, we will be witnessing our Chamlar take our Chamlee as her king. It is a day that we have long waited for in the land of the Pixies” I added.
By now, there were light murmurs flying around, everyone on the lookout for our great queen and some more intrigued by the handsome figure of the Chamlee standing at the podium.
I allowed them some time to chitchat and look around before I continued
“Please remain calm, everyone, our queen will be here soon,” I said.
I could feel the tension that filled the whole place the moment I announced the arrival of our queen. Heads began to stretch and turn, trying to decipher the possible places that she will come out from. I let this continue for some time before I finally gave way for Tensa.
Tensa began “I must thank everyone for gracing this occasion on this special day. Today will be marked as a great day in the history of Pixolands. Our Queen just defeated the Titans…”
At the mention of the battle with the Titans, there were quiet and joyful chatters everywhere.
“Please quiet…” He appealed and the voices slowly died down. “And to mark the event of this great victory, our queen has accepted our Chamlee as one with her”
There was a round of applause and just then, the trumpet sounded, bringing everyone to their feet.
From the big door, our Chamlar entered majestically, her beauty radiating in her lemon sequence gown embroidered by gold plates that swept across behind her as she walked.
Chamlee turned and seeing her, he could not bring himself to pull his eyes away even if for just a single second. He was intrigued by her appearance, captivated by her grace.
She has a big smile on her face as she walked with her gaze kept to her front. Following her are her friends and a trail of servants each ensuring that she remains in her glory.
She walked up to the podium where she gladly pledged her vow to Chamlee.
“I Chamlar, the queen of the Pixies, queen of the Pixolands, do herein this day, before all present, make you my Chamlee, a king in my reign”
The Vow was short and simple as the queen is not bonded by it. On the contrary, it is the Chamlee that would live to do the biddings of the queen.
