Rewriting Her Destiny With The Lycan Kings-Chapter 62: The History Was Repeating

The battlefield was nothing short of chaotic. The air was thick with the clang of weapons, the cries of soldiers, and the distant screams of men caught in the throes of their final moments. Dust and smoke curled in the air, turning the once-bright sky into a tempest of shadow.

Amidst this war-torn chaos stood a woman, her every movement a calculated strike, a flawless display of deadly precision.

Seraphina!

Her gaze cut through the mass of soldiers as she fought with a fierce determination that left no room for hesitation. She was a force, a storm in the flesh, and her skill was undeniable. With each strike of her blade, each calculated move, the enemy fell.

"She is Fascinating!" Xavian, standing alongside his brother Lucian, couldn’t tear his eyes away from her. Despite the chaos around them, despite the battlefield still raging, his attention was riveted to Seraphina.

Every swing of her sword, every decision made in the heat of the moment, only served to heighten his admiration for her. She was magnificent. Her power, her mind. everything about her was mesmerizing.

"Control your urges, brothers. We’re in the middle of a battle for God’s sake," Lucian teased, his tone light, but his focus sharp as he sliced through an incoming attack.

Xavian flashed a smirk. "Save something for tonight. Because I’m already burning down there." Lucian could barely contain his excitement, and though his words were laced with playful jest, the truth behind them was impossible to ignore.

Seraphina had led them to this victory. Her brilliance on the battlefield was the reason they were winning. Her mind had devised the strategy, and her strength had executed it flawlessly. She was a queen in every sense of the word.

Despite the victory, the weight of the battle lingered in the air, a palpable tension that seemed to suffocate the very atmosphere. Yet she was handling everything like a child play. It was a victorious scene of three greatest warriors in history.

Then, the mood shifted. The clouds above darkened, thickening into an ominous storm that mirrored the heaviness of the moment. The battlefield fell into a grim silence, and what had once been a scene of triumph turned into a sorrowful scene of loss.

In the midst of the downpour, with the stench of death thick in the air, Seraphina knelt before them. Her once-powerful presence was now weakened. Her striking beauty was marred by the wear of battle, her body trembling as she fought to remain standing.

The bruises and blood on her skin told the story of the fight, but her eyes. Those eyes told a different story. They were filled with pain, a sorrow that seemed too heavy for her to bear.

Lucian and Xavian stood before her. Both of their eyes were filled with both pain and grief over something. Their hearts wrenching out of a great pain as they couldn’t meet her eyes properly.

Seraphina, once a symbol of power and grace, now looked vulnerable in a way neither of them had ever seen. Her mouth opened, but the words failed to come. She reached out, her hand trembling, but she could barely muster the strength to rise.

Xavian’s heart wrenched in his chest as he looked at her. His grip tightened on the hilt of his sword. "I’m sorry, Sera. I don’t have any other option," he whispered, his voice breaking as the weight of the moment settled on him.

And in a single, swift motion, Xavian’s sword descended. The steel met her throat with the finality of a cruel fate. The silver blood flowed from the wound, staining the earth beneath her, the sight of it more haunting than anything the battlefield could offer.

Seraphina choked out a gasp, her body shaking as the life began to slip from her. She reached out again, but Lucian’s sword came down with a merciless strike, and her body collapsed to the ground, lifeless. Her gaze, once filled with fire and strength, now stared blankly up at the sky, as if trying to make sense of her fate. A lone tear fell from her eye, tracing a path down her cheek, a final symbol of the life she had once lived, the life she had lost.

The two brothers stood over her, their hearts heavy with the weight of what had just transpired. Xavian’s hand shook as he gripped his sword, his eyes never leaving Seraphina’s lifeless form. Lucian remained silent, his gaze fixed on her, the silence between them more deafening than the battle had ever been.

"Zara!"

Devonte’s body trembled with the aftershocks of the nightmare. The vivid images still haunted him, their weight pressing down on his chest, constricting his heart with a force he couldn’t understand. He gasped for air, as if the dream itself had stolen his breath, and for a moment, it felt as if his very soul was suffocating.

The pressure in his chest didn’t ease, only deepened. His heart beat like a drum in his ears, thudding wildly against his ribcage as if it were desperately trying to escape. He doesn’t have a memory of falling asleep in this broad daylight. Yet it have happened.

His mind struggled to make sense of the dream, but the fragments that remained felt like pieces of a puzzle that didn’t fit. yet they tugged at him, pulling him towards something he couldn’t quite grasp.

The overwhelming sensation of longing mixed with a deep, aching pain he couldn’t explain. The face he had seen in the dream, so eerily familiar yet foreign, wasn’t Zara. it was Seraphina. Yet the connection, the pull, was unmistakable.

Shaking off the remnants of the dream, Devonte stumbled toward the door of his room. His legs felt unsteady beneath him, as if the ground had shifted, and the very air he breathed felt too thick. His instincts screamed at him to go to Zara, to see her, to hold her. Whatever had happened in his dream, whatever truth had been unlocked, he knew he had to find her.

Despite his body still heavy with the remnants of sleep, he pushed forward, refusing to let himself fall back into the disorienting fog. The connection to Zara, the inexplicable need to be near her, was more powerful than the confusion that churned in his chest.

"Zara..." he whispered, his voice a rough plea as he rushed down the corridor. His heart pounded as though it had its own mind, urging him on, pushing him toward her.

..

As he got out of the room. He heard the loud drum sound. He stopped on halfway hearing that. He was kind of surprised to hear that.

The drumbeat echoed through the halls, a deep, thunderous sound that reverberated in Devonte’s chest. His heart skipped a beat as the realization hit him. It wasn’t just any sound.

it was the sound of battle. The unmistakable rhythm that signaled impending danger. He froze for a moment, his body tensing as the noise grew louder, sharper. His instincts screamed at him to act.

"What the hell..." he muttered under his breath, the words lost in the growing cacophony of drums and shouts from outside the walls. His mind raced, the weight of the sound pressing down on him like a heavy storm cloud, urging him forward, demanding action.

His anger flared, a sharp surge of heat filling his chest as he remembered the dream. the warning, the urgency that now flooded his veins. He couldn’t wait any longer. He had to get to Zara.

Without hesitation, he sprinted down the corridor, his senses sharp as he followed her scent, the familiar, comforting fragrance guiding him. He could already feel the tension in the air, the change in the atmosphere. It wasn’t just the drums. something else was shifting.

At the pond area, Zara was looking at Albus with a shocked expression as she heard that voice. She began to feel her whole body burning up. It was as if someone had set fire to her. She hugged herself tightly and tried to push away the sensation.

"Zara, what’s wrong?" Denzal was shocked by her reaction. He quickly tried to pull her into his arms, but she wouldn’t let him hold her. Soon, the burning sensation grew stronger, and she was almost screaming out in pain. When Denzal tried to pull her toward him, he stopped midway upon hearing the drumbeat.

Everyone around him was in shock, hearing the sound they hadn’t heard in a century. Panic spread quickly. He was caught in a huge dilemma. Before he could react to anything, something pulled Zara into the pond with great force. The next second, out of nowhere, a gigantic arrow struck Albus.

At the exact second Devonte got there, he was struck with horror as he saw another Arrow coming towards Denzal.

"Denzal! On your back." He screamed at the top of his voice. The whole area was shaken with his loud growl. The next second everything around them changed. Into darker.
