Love and Redemption
Bewitched by the legend of the Ice Queen, an orphan wolf named Anastasia Valentine journeyed into the middle of the realm of demons, Cildreth, in search for the queen itself to bestow her immense power. She was then held captive by the beast Cerberus and was later saved by Alois Devaraux, the first emperor of Heaven, whom she sets eyes with.
Struck by indebtedness and gratitude, Anastasia set foot on the Althaios Heavenly Realm. She disguised herself as a man that led her to claim the Emperor's apprentice position. Together, they sailed through the magic of love's abyss as they discover the mysteries lurking behind their tragic past.
Now, Anastasia must choose between her heart and fate.
With countless of tears shed, will this love surpass the steel trials or just fall into pits of letting go as a price for entering forbidden love?

Chapter: Episode 14Chapter 14: Emperor of Heaven, Alois. “Students of Blemore Academy, today is your final test to show your skills in controlling your sword and flying, and to those who will fail will be immediately removed from the academy. Let’s start!” Professor Duke declared and began calling my classmates' names. I’m smiling widely while watching each of my classmates who are performing to show their skills and I can’t wait to call my name because I’m so excited to show them that I can now control my sword and fly. I giggled inside my thought. Raven nudged at me on my left shoulder, since he was standing behind me to get my attention, so my attention was distracted watching my classmates performing and glanced at him. “What’s wrong?” My eyebrows rose. “Can you not smile that much, idiot? It’s creeping me out,” he was annoyed which made me pouted. “Pshh~” I just focused on watching my classmates performing and I can’t help but to be amazed while my mouth agape and sometimes, I can’t help myself

Chapter: Episode 13.2“Yes. So, you better shut up and don’t tell anyone this, or I will cut ties with you. You better keep this as a secret.”“I promise! I won’t tell it to anyone hehe don’t worry, I also sneak out to look for my savior.” I giggled.“Savior? Therefore, the reason why you disguised yourself as a man is just because of him? Had you found him?”“Yes. In our tribe, we should repay the kindness of those who help us. I’m here to repay my gratitude to him. However…” I pouted when I remembered what had just happened earlier. He was in front of me yet I can’t reveal who I am or else I will be doomed.The reason why I can't do anything despite him is the reason why I am in the heavenly realm. And also! I would also like to meet the Emperor of Heaven, Alois. Hayy…“So, you already found him, then?”I nodded sadly, pouting as I rested my chin on the back of my palm watching the beautiful woman playing the zither. How can she be so beautiful? Hayyy…Hence, I immediately looked at him when I remembered

Chapter: Episode 13Chapter 13: Raven's Secret Crush. As soon as we landed in the hall, my savior threw me to the ground, causing me to almost fall on the cold floor. “How can a boy be so fragile like a girl?" His voice is monotonous while his face looks as hard as a stone. Standing with one hand on his back and the other one on his stomach, he wore a black robe full of authority. The sad expression on my face made me lower my head to hide the expression from him. My bottom lip bit hard as I puffed. "Answer me," he replied, glaring at me. I still felt a burning sensation on my face whenever I look at him about what I did to him when he was taking a bath, and one more thing — I can't even face him even though I came all the way here just to find and repay him. At that moment, he is standing in front of me, yet I do not dare to look him in the eye and find the words to reply to him - because I am both shy *cuts out* and nervous at the same time. Since he was my savior, I actually had nothing to say to

On the way to the frozen lake since I don’t have to take a bath. Because of the sudden hot buns that I saw a while ago I started to feel something inside my body and a different heat that I don’t usually feel. Weird.For this reason Frozen Lake is somewhat cold water and somehow my feeling might lessen. Ever since I went here in the heavenly realm I haven’t taken a bath. How can I take a bath with all the boys around me and Raven is keeping on pestering me. Although he’s a big help no one dares to bully me maybe because Raven can’t be underestimated. He may look like a scoundrel hybrid but really he’s warm and good in

Chapter: Episode 11.2I breathed a sigh and started standing up, I shouldn’t waste any of my time. The wind up here is really cold and it feels soothing in my skin. I lurched forward and after some seconds, I landed on the ground. I finally made it inside. I started sneaking inside the palace, and much to my amusement, none of the guards were stationed inside. Seems like the security here is not that strict. Perhaps the owner of this place is strong enough. I started roaming around and while I am taking a stroll inside, I can’t help but be amazed by the interior of the palace. My mouth falls open and my eyes seem sparkling. This is as grand as the other palace. I wandered inside and noticed that the entirety of it was tidy. The servants seem to be dedicated to their job. The area is full of different flowers. Their beauty is even more astonishing under the moonlight. I don’t have any idea on how many residents a

I blinked several times as I scratched the back of my neck. “Eyy, I'm sure I've heard of this place before. Where did I hear it again? Books?” My face looks so confused. I am certainly familiar with this place. I just can’t figure it out where did I heard about it. Maybe from the books? I often read articles about this realm and it is probably where I saw it. “Astraea Heavenly Palace.” I read out loud. It is engraved using mystical letters and is painted in gold. It looks magical. I stared at it for several minutes because I am still trying to crack my head to remember where did I heard it. I bite my lips in annoyance. Argh. I guess I really read it from a book

I'm just dreaming. I just need to wake myself up. Not everything is real. That's right. Let's wake up from these dreams now. They have already died, and I am already done with my revenge. I can start over with my life." That's the phrase she keeps mumbling to herself.The same goes for the two criminals. In spite of her best efforts, she is unable to talk to them normally, as if they have gone insane. She was about to leave since she already got what she wanted, but one of them said something that made her freeze at her place."Ameira. The name of the woman who gave us the medicine is not human, but our greed. She's our demon side." She slowly turned her head to the side, looking at the rusty iron door."What did you say?" She asked unimaginably, almost dropping her jaw."She's going to come to us and kill us all

Chapter: A ( 26 )Warning: This chapter contains violent and sexual content and is not suitable for those readers. Episode 26: A, C, D, E “This really looks like suicide. Like in previous cases, there was no sign of harassment or murder. I’m afraid we won't ever find any leads about those dead bodies, and now another cold case has occurred. The plaintiffs have already pleaded guilty, and the victims' families want them dead too. So there is no way they can escape.” She examined their bodies one by one as she took pictures. Her thoughts wander, and she wonders if they truly committed suicide out of guilt. It's too suspicious. She remembered when she visited and investigated them personally. When she also watched the recording where they monitored those sinners inside the jail, they seemed to be dreaming.They thought those events were just a dream and none of them were real; even the jail they are staying in is only in their dreams because, in reality, they are innocent and have never been there at the

Forget it. I don’t have time to bicker with him," she whispered to herself in the back of her head. She was about to walk on the other side when he blocked it again. She sighed between her nose and her mouth. “Do I know you?” she asked in a low tone.“Stop your act, Ameira. I told you; you can fool anyone but not me. You can change your face, but your eyes cannot lie. Next time you disguise yourself, try to cover your eyes as well.

THE LEGEND OF ICE QUEEN

When Anastasia was eight, she was abducted by a group of researchers. Yet no one knew what she had suffered at the hands of those cruel humans.

This controlled his power and in a split second, it was broken into pieces like a sparkling light falling from the sky. Since it's connected to the king's strength, he spits blood from his mouth for being able to possess such immense power by simply using her mind. That is why she needs to be destroyed. She has this kind of extraordinary power that no one can beat, not even him as the king of heavenly realms. She's above everything. How can she have this special power?

After all, she’s, our queen.” Dagon stated. Suddenly, a group of wolf packs appeared together with their leader wearing a black coat and red eyes as they changed into human forms.

He wept as he realized he had rediscovered his memories and his true identity with Sandro's help. He was late because he had to gather his pack to prepare for war and he thought it was already too late but no. Their queen never disappointed them. She’s unbeatable and no one can overrule her. “You're already here,” Anton said. Tumango lang si Nathan at tinuon ang pansin sa pitong mga demonyo na nagsimula nang lusubin ang kalaban nila.

The place is littered with the body parts of demons and immortals, and there is blood everywhere. No one wants to stop. Everyone is determined to win the war. Many lives are taken and blood is poured out. Everyone is merciless in the killing. In the war, we hear the sounds of swords and loud screams, accompanied by the wounds and injuries experienced by all soldiers and gods. Despite being injured, they never give up; instead, they are more determined to win. Beatrice and Benjamin, the two knights of the Ice Queen, have already reached the heavenly realms. They all matched Ice Queen who was floating in the air, watching the war. “Obviously, you can see the heavenly realms are wi

Now, it ended like this. We must stick together and don’t let her win. We must kill her!” Seira shouted at him as she held both of his shoulders to get his senses back. Raizel looked up to face his old lover but Raizel's face was blank. "It wasn't for you that I came back. The end of our relationship took place a thousand years ago."

She’s the Ice Queen who has no fear and no heart, to begin with; she can kill anyone as many as she wants and make every living creature her puppet. Therefore, if she wanted to kill Seira and her father, it was as simple as counting from one to three. However, she didn't do it. Just like what she always says, no one can atone for what they did to her, and death was too easy but seeing them suffering bit by bit was more satisfying and acceptable. “Who are you, Raizel, to tell me whether to kill or not? Do you still believe I am the girl who can easily be manipulated and who is deeply in love with you? Not even the slightest chance. The girl who fell in love with you believes you were the one who created it, just like how you treated her. Everything was made-up. So, if I want to kill them—” Ice Queen's voice was cold and unfeeling. When she stared at the two couples, which were supposed to

The place is already quiet since our yacht is turned off, the waves have calmed, and the air is so refreshing. I could stay here all day admiring the scenery. "How did you overcome all that kind of suffering? It must be hard for you to endure all of that. I don't understand why the child always pays for the parent's wrongdoings.

A glass of orange juice was offered while a glass of wine was held in his hand. I was about to reach for the wine glass when he stretched his hand away from me. “Be good. Drink this now, and later you'll take vitamins after we eat." On rare occasions, his voice is as tranquil as the ocean. Wala na akong nagawa kung ‘di tanggapin na lang ito at binalik ang atensyon sa dagat.
