KING MICAH: World Beyond The Ruins

Micah’s POV

This whole journey was a waste of time.

I wasted no time in leaving the Dragon’s Kingdom with my men. If Hayden thinks I would bring my mate to him then he was fucking wrong.

We all ran through the dark trees back to the Castle. I made sure I was on alert just in case we get ambushed again.

I made sure to tell my men that we wouldn’t be stopping anytime soon, not even to take a shit. It took us four days to get to the high mountains and I plan on making it back to my Castle in less than that.

I need to see my mate. I missed her so damn much.

“Sire! Watch out!” One of my men said through mindlink but before I could stop, I went rolling down a rocky high.

I groaned from the pain of the rock hitting my side and coughed when I breath in the dust from thr fall.

How did I not realized that there was a cliff?! I was so fucking alert and made sure that each steps I take was calculated and sure.

I shook my fur and huffed in annoyance. Every minute I stay here is a waste of my time. I looked up to see my men all looking down at me, some in human form.

It would be hard trying to climb back up in my wolf form and there was no rope that could be lowered down to pull me to the top.

I took in a breath and slouched. My bones started reforming and snapping in and out places. I was completely bare which made this whole situation more irritating.

“Fuck this” I mumbled under my breath as I grabbed a rock and pushed myself up.

At fifteen steps up, I got tired and my hands began to shake. I groaned when my left leg slipped and a sharp rock cut through my thigh and almost near my dick. I looked down to see blood pouring out and the wound wasn’t closing at all.

“Fucking hell” I grumbled under my breath and released a shaky breath.

I have never felt this weak.

When I look up to see how close was to the top, in the mist of the dog, I sae a faint light coming from a cave in the wall. My curiosity got the best of me and I decided to check it out.

When I got to the edge of the cave, I pushed myself up and climbed in. I placed my hands on my knees and took in large breath, I used my left hand to wipe away the sweat that was rolling down my temple.

Murmuring came from deep inside the cave and my body became stiff? Dammit! If I knew there was someone in here I wouldn’t have come.

I contemplated if I should mindlink some of my men to come down or I should just get the hell out of here but something deep inside of me wanted me to stay… Wanted me to cheek it out.

I took cautious steps, staying on alert and watching out for the enemies.

I was surprised to see a large body of water covered with fog in such a small cave. It was beautiful actually, with vines and wildflower wrapping around the wall of the cave and on a single large rock in the middle of the river.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Goddess, this would be a nice place to bring my mate.

I humming sound filled the cave and turned around to find it but couldn’t. “Who’s there?” I asked with a growl to my voice.

There was no answer and I still couldn’t find who it was but I bet this is a work of a witch.

The humming became louder and louder and I felt like I was going crazy. “I need to get out here” I mumbled breathlessly.

I tried going back the way I came but I couldn’t find it! It was like the cave was closing up on me. Each place I looked and every path I took was just a dead end of rock.

Fuck! I can’t take this anymore! I looked at the water and an idea came to me. Maybe… Maybe I could swim out of here! The river have to at least lead somewhere.

I tried running to it but it felt like I was weighed down by an invisible force. Each step taken was pure torture to my pounding head and weak bone.

“Just stop” I choked out when the humming became to loud for me to take and I fell on my knees and crawling towards the water.

My eyes were dizzy and I couldn’t see straight.

I felt a wet, hot liquid flowing out of my eyes and down my cheek and I thought… Was I crying? Am I fucking crying over a fucking song that was getting stuck in my head?

No, that can’t be possible-, I don’t cry, I didn’t even cry when u lost my damn parents!

Angrily, I swipe my hand across my cheek and from how the substance felt, I knew it wasn’t tears. I brought my hand close to my unfocused eyes and saw that it was blood-i was bleeding my eyes and that wasn’t the only place I was bleeding from.

Is this how it would end for me? Torture my a song and bleeding to dead in an unknown place?

Is this how the great King Micah’s reign would come to an end.

I couldn’t let that happen – I can’t let it happen. I want to live, I have to live but… I just can’t, I couldn’t move anymore and I began to gasp.

Gasp for air, gasp for water – I wasn’t even sure. Everything looked the same at this point.

I wasn’t kneeling anymore, my chest was on the floor with blood flowing out of every holes in my face and my hand was stretched out to her. I began humming the song with them and swaying my head.

I felt at peace with them, especially when she took my head in her lap and placed a loving kiss on my forehead.

“You’re home” she whispered and they all murmured the same words with her.

“You’re home”

I gave her blurry face a smile and released a sigh. Finally home.
