Call Of The Dark



Lazarus stopped when Emma lifted her hand to stop him. She turned her face to look at Viktor with anger bubbling in her chest. She had had enough of his nonsense and didn't want to hear him. 

She took a step closer to him. "It seems that all you have is whores around you. That is why every woman that you see looks like a whore to you!"

"Emma!" Viktor growled, seething with fury. "Stay in your limits." 

ραndαsΝοvεl.cοm "No!" she snapped. "You keep within your limits. You've gone without a wife and a mate for so long that you have stopped respecting women. But you know what? I pity you! You could never be a good mate and a good father because you were always focused on your throne." 

"Guards!" Viktor barked, shaking with rage. 

A guard threw his spear at her, but before it could even touch her, the spear burned midair when Nephie breathed fire at it. 

Emma scoffed. "Don't you dare to do that again because I can't guarantee that it won't be you next time." 

Viktor's eyes became wide like saucers. The girl who he thought was just a village commoner now stood up to him. 

Emma continued, "You killed your mate. You buried her alive in the blood forest and then seized her necklace to stay alive. You have been fooling life itself because you are greedy. Greedy for the power, for the throne and greedy for money." She took an intimidating step closer. "Every woman in your eyes is a piece of commodity who should be traded. If her value is nothing, she should go to the whore house. But then I don't blame you. You have forgotten the softness of a real woman because all those who ever visit you are whores!" 

She turned to stand between his three sons. "You should have treasured your sons, but look at yourself. You have pitted them against each other by playing games. Lazarus had been doing his best to quell the rebellion which would be in the benefit of the kingdom, but after we talked to the villagers and my erstwhile father—" she gave Drogo a hateful look. "We realized that you don't want the rebellion to stop. Drogo had started thinking of making a career in rebellion because your intentions weren't to collect taxes. They were to start a fresh rebellion!" 

"That is outrageous!" Viktor yelled. "A village girl is going to teach me what it is to run a kingdom? Me? You forget that I have run this kingdom for thousands of years! How dare you?"

"And it is time for you to retire," Emma yelled back. "Because you are not running a kingdom. You are running a fiefdom!" She grabbed Lazarus's arm. "My mate, Lord Lazarus has been trying to undo all your bad deeds. All the while he is in the palace, he keeps wondering what would be your next move that would lead to disaster and he tries to contain that disaster. Do you realize what you are doing? You are now completely focused on eliminating your sons only to keep ruling this kingdom!" 

"Shut up!" Viktor roared. 

"I won't!" Emma was on the roll. She snagged her gown down. "Look at these two marks and look at them nicely!" There was a collective gasp from the courtiers. 

"Emma!" Lazarus was shocked not because she was yelling at his father, but because she exposed herself as his true mate. 

"Leave me Lord Lorza!" Emma growled. She whipped her head to the king whose eyes had popped out of his sockets. "Look at these king Viktor. These are the marks given by your oldest. I am King Lazarus's true mate. He had been hiding me and tried his best to hide this fact only to protect me. He played your games only to protect me. He agreed to marry Olya only to protect me. And yet you say that I should be his whore?" She stomped towards the throne. "What kind of a father are you when you can't recognize anything about your child?"

"Kill her!" Viktor shouted, shaking with fury. 

Before the guards could even pick up their spears, two dragons flapped their wings and swooped down on them. Viktor had to run behind his chair to save himself. He watched the dragons picking up the shrieking guards with their claws and mouth. He heard the noise of skulls cracking and flesh snapping. 

"Come out!" Emma growled at him. "Now we will talk properly!"

Viktor was shaking with fear. He was furious with Emma but he was more afraid than furious. He stopped his teeth from chattering and slowly came out of his hiding place. "What do you want?" he asked. Once this situation got over, he was going to get her killed. That would take care of his son as well. 

Lazarus came over to be with Emma. Magnus, Jasper and Yul also rushed to her side. Viktor could clearly see that three of his sons were now with Emma. He wished that Anton was here. 

Lazarus came to stand in front of Emma. "Now it is my turn to speak." He was so proud of the way Emma spoke that his chest filled with pride. "I will marry Emmalyn at the next full moon," he declared. 

"Are you an idiot?" Viktor snapped. "She is a bloody commoner!"

"She is no commoner!" A man jumped from his dragon and landed on the ground smoothly. He walked with his chin high and came to stand next to Lazarus. 

"Who are you?" Viktor asked, fearing that his doubts might come true. 

"I am Titus, King of Yizinia, and Emmalyn is my wife's niece."

Viktor's mouth dropped to the floor. "What?" He couldn't believe it. 

"Yes," Titus chuckled, looking at his reaction. "Emma is my niece and Lord Lazarus has all my backing because he is a family." 

Viktor was speechless. Lazarus was also stunned as was every other person present out there. 

"Ally?" Viktor said. He started thinking of ways to mend his relationship with Emma because having King Titus as his ally meant that he could conquer the entire Lore with all his dragon army. 

Emma scoffed. "If you are thinking that he would become your ally now, then King Viktor that ship has sailed long back!"
