It was what Hunter only told her a while ago. He was trying to be secretive about it.Actually, he was doing a great job at that. She really didn’t know where they were going. He simply asked him to go out with him and have a date – and that’s all.And of course,

Chapter: Special ChapterPOV: Queen Tamara Pierce Life is not always fair, beautiful, and perfect – like the moon, which is never full all the time. It has its own phase, and it must go through it until it finally serves its purpose. No matter how dark the night was during the new moon, it would be more fulfilling to see the full moon, finally gracing its luminescence in the dark night sky. Tamara only wanted to discover her identity, her real roots – who was she? However, fate had a different plan for her – showing her what she was destined to be. “Mom! Thanatos is making annoying antics again!” Her daughter, Styx, pouted as she grumpily sat on the single couch in the library before she crossed her arms. Her forehead creased as she was about to answer her when the door suddenly burst wide open, and Thanatos entered the room with his grim expression. He gave his twin sister a warning glare, but he didn’t say a word. Seven years had passed but until now, she still couldn’t believe that she had been given

Chapter: EpiloguePOV: King Hades Pierce “I heard that you had mistreated your Sacred Emissary… again.” Hades made a serious remark to his brother, who was lost in his books. However, seeing how Raven was affected by the mere mention of that particular word, he smirked inwardly. “Shut it off, Hades.” Raven darkly told him. Irritation was filled by his voice. “Oh, so cold. After giving her some azaleas, huh?” He playfully commented, as he couldn’t hide his smirk anymore. Raven just clenched his jaw as he put his book on his lap and stared at him grimly. “Whatever.” He stated darkly before the corner of his lips rose, this time giving him a mocking smile. “Anyway, how about you, then? You have your own, right? The mark had been revealed. I can’t believe that the Lunar Pack is getting this huge responsibility.” Raven suddenly remarked. His forehead instantly creased, but he couldn’t stop the excitement that suddenly embraced him. Yes. The Sacred Emissaries came from the Lunar Pack, and he had no

However, because of her throbbing head – she stayed with her eyes closed until the voices became clearer this time. “I am sure she will go berserk later on once she gains consciousness.” She heard a cold voice – but she could distinguish a bit of worry in her voice. She might be guessing that it was Shanaia who said that. “We have no other choice but to do this to her. The King requested this thing, and I have no other choice but to follow.” She heard another woman’s voice – which she presumed was Tamika’s this time. ‘What the heck is happening?!’ She screamed in her mind, but she kept her mouth shut as she was trying to remember what happened to her prior to this. She suddenly remembered that she was talking to Hades and before he walked away from her, she had already lost her consciousness. “But-” Shanaia was about to say something when she abruptly stopped as Tamika let out a breathy si

I’m sorry… I just… I…” Her eyes welled up as she looked at Hades gently caressing her cheek. She bit her lower lip as her tears fell and she firmly closed her eyes. Her hormones were truly making her more sensitive and emotional. However, she couldn’t stop herself from getting too emotional because Hades was now awake. She was so worried about him. “Shhh…” He soothed her as his thumb wiped her tears away. She opened her eyes and stared lovingly at him. “I thought I will l-lose you.

Chapter: 98: Broken LegacyChapter 98 POV: Lamina Darkwood Being shocked was an understatement. She was certainly astounded as to its deeper sense. She couldn’t believe that she was hearing everything about it. “Just like your father. I am very proud of you, Cessair, and I bet your father would have been very proud of you. You are as manipulative and as sly as he is.” Elder Courdamus cynically commented. “He should have said that to me. He should still be here with us. If not for Lamina’s father! That Lomero is truly much more cunning and treacherous.” His voice became so dangerous and firm. She pursed her lips together at the mere mention of her father’s name. Her heart was clenching inside her so hard that it was making it hard for her to breath. “Good thing that you ended his life. His daughter had compensated for everything that he should be doing for us. Lamina’s wrath towards the Royal Blood because of her blinded and unrequited love for the late King Reeve and for her thoughts that they had killed
