Chapter 100
POV: Queen Tamara Vikesh
Cessair had finally reached his full lycan potential!
Hades started to call everyone to back down as Cessair was already getting out of control.
Raven started to turn into his lycan form as well as Kage into his wolf form. Hades was about to go when she held his hand.
Worry was etched into her face making Hades look at her with his gentle and loving gaze. Her eyes welled up. She knew that her concern for him right now was over the moon especially as she saw how powerful Cessair was, now that he had turned into his lycan form.
The liquid that he had drunk was making him more powerful, and she was scared of Hades. He still hadn’t fully recovered, and he still needed to face this.
Hades held her cheeks in his softest way possible as if he were holding something fragile. Her drifting mind was solely focused to him now.
“I know that you are so worried right now, wife.” Hades gently told her as he moved closer to her fanning her face with his minty breath.
Her tears started to fall from her eyes now as Hades closed his eyes firmly trying to contain himself.
“But we have no other choice but to make sure that our child’s future will be in peace and full of love. And I need to end this… for everyone, for you, for our child, for us.” He tenderly soothed her.
Right there and then, she knew that she had to prepare herself.
A loud crash resonated in the vast field as they saw Cessair’s alliances trying to fight with him, too. Cessair, on the other hand, victoriously threw Kage and Raven on the nearest tree. He let out a triumphant growl.
Every one of his alliances let out a loud growl as if they were all congratulating him on his victory.
Hades gave her a long and lingering kiss before he finally turned around walking away from her.
The moment Hades did that, everything just suddenly turned black.

POV: King Hades Pierce
Hades knew that Tamara wouldn’t let anyone take her away and that she would be watching him all throughout.
So, he had no other choice but to ask Tamika and Shanaia to take her away unconsciously. He didn’t want her to be there. It wasn’t safe anymore especially since she was pregnant.
She was already worried, and it would just make her more stressed if she’d be watching him fight. Especially if the situation called for desperate measures, and he had no other choice but to do or decide on something.
He clenched his jaw and took a deep breath hoping to calm himself and his inner wolf. He didn’t want to let his inner animalistic side take control of himself now.
Hades was hoping it wouldn’t do it.
He heard the loud and victorious growl from Cessair causing him to stare at him darkly.
How dare he turn out to be a lycan?
He had the audacity to create one for his own thus, dishonoring the lycanthropes form, a gift given by the moon goddess herself.
Hades instantly shifted into his own lycan form. He could hear gasps from the people around them.
Who wouldn’t have been fascinated if everyone in the room had the chance to see the Royal Bloods in their most powerful form – up close and personal?
He instantly caught Cessair’s attention as he let out a loud sneer. He instantly attacked him, and he could say that he was certainly faster than him.
Perhaps, it was because of the liquid that he had taken. He couldn’t believe that he had something hidden under his sleeves. If he had known it sooner he would have just ended his life, right there and then.
Despite his best efforts to keep up with Cessair even with Raven and Kage assisting him on the side Cessair was simply too strong and fast, and they were thrown away.
No matter how much they denied it, he was certainly more powerful than the King, the Prince, and even Kage combined.
They looked at each other as they shared a knowing look.
Raven tried to lure him with his fastest moves, Kage acted as if he was going to attack on the left side, but it was him who would attack but Cessair have already guessed what they would do.
So, he launched a hard kick on Kage, who landed on Raven and attacked him with his full strength, causing him to be thrown on the ground.
They all heard a loud thud as he felt his ribs being broken.
He grumbled as he realized that he had to choose now like what Tamika had suggested once this happened.
They had only one possible solution left.
Raven growled as he realized what he was trying to do. He sneered at him as if he was telling him not to do it.
He knew what he was asking him to do to stop whatever Tamika had suggested he do.
Someone from the Royal Blood must leave his own humanity behind and turn into a lycan for good.
And no one else could fill that role except him.
Kage couldn’t find his inner lycan yet, or he might not have inherited it from their father.
Raven wasn’t as strong as he was he wouldn’t want to take the risk. He wanted to guarantee that they would be the winning team.
Aside from that, he was the King, and it was his very own duty to be the one who would sacrifice.
Raven let out another growl trying to stop him from doing it, he let out a soft groan.
He knew that he had no other choice.
Hades looked above it was the bloody moon shining brightly red in the night sky.
He was praying to the moon goddess hoping for his mercy that he would be willing to sacrifice himself in exchange for winning this war and be at peace in the end.
Because that was what he wanted for Tamara and their child to live in a peaceful and loving place.
Far from the people who always want revenge and pain from other people. If this was the only way to protect them, he was willing to be engulfed by his own sleeping monster.
Hades let out a loud growl thrice offering himself to the moon goddess as he let his own humanity be eaten by his animalistic side.
The sleeping monster inside him was gradually waking up and his eyes had gone completely black because he had finally lost his ability to think for himself.
All that he had in mind was to kill Cessair and nothing more.
He became uncontrollable.
In a blink of an eye, he was already in front of Cessair attacking him through his elongated and poisonous nails.
His pinkish tongue grazed his mouth as he stared at Cessair who was now growling in anger. He roared triumphantly causing everyone to stare at him strangely but their pain and sympathy for the king was visible on their faces.
But he didn’t care any less, he was more focused on how to deal with the lycan-wannabe in front of him.
He launched another attack and this time it tore Cessair’s limbs as he let out his final howl amidst that eerie field. He was bloodied and he didn’t care. He landed another solid punch causing Cessair to be thrown on the ground.
Without any second less, Cessair had finally returned to his human form as the King was still growling like a wild animal, who didn’t know what to do anymore.
He was holding his own head hoping that he could still hold his sanity over his inner animalistic side.
Cessair, on the other hand, viciously smirked with his mouth bleeding.
“I’ll s-surely d-drag you to m-my g-grave, M-My K-King…” He cruelly stated before he had lost his last breath.

POV: Prince Raven Pierce
Raven clenched his teeth as he looked at his brother, who was rolling on the ground growling in pain and struggling to stay alive.
Hopefully, in his human form.
But the moment, he stopped, he knew that they might have won the war, but they had lost the King his own brother, to the monster that he had become.
And he had no other choice but to end his life… just like what he had asked him to do.
A lone tear fell from his eyes as he looked away gritting his teeth in high defiance.
However, he had to do what he had promised to him.
