Chapter: 64Kiss Her (Klaus’ POV)Klaus was being tortured, not just by one, but by three different kinds of power. Her veins stood out on the back of her hands, and her body continued to burn.I carried her back to the bed and prepared a basin of water to wipe her with. I needed to get her temperature down first.No medicine could help her, and from what I had just seen, the painkillers didn’t do much, either.If Klaus’s fever continued much longer, her body might burn to ashes before it could explode.Towels were changed one after another, the basin emptied and refilled repeatedly. The blood curse was so potent that several towels caught sparks of flames as soon as they made contact with her skin. I couldn’t even imagine the pain Klaus must be going through.The blood stains on her body were cleaned, but she was sweating endlessly.I stared at her face, twisted in agony, and my heart ached. I didn’t even understand why I was reacting like that, but I was adamant about not letting her die. I ref

Chapter: 63You’ll Explode (Davina’s POV)I had never felt so horrible before. A burst of extremely violent energy was circulating in my body, stripping me of my strength and sanity, and forcing me to surrender.My heart was racing wildly, as if it was about to escape from my chest. At the same time, my body temperature also fluctuated drastically. Sometimes I was too hot, and at other times I was too cold.Some mechanism seemed to have activated both my lycan power and black witch power, and they burst forth from my body.Although I had regained my powers, I had lost all control over them now. The two powers were tearing my body apart.In the past, I had the energy to subdue the power of the black witch blood. I could also balance my lycan power with my black witch power, but now I just couldn’t handle it.Even worse, a third force was trying to destroy the balance between them, attempting to seize control.I felt intense pain in every inch of my body My powers had gone berserk, and my sanity ha

Chapter: 62A Horrible Ceremony (Davina’s POV)I struggled and cursed, repeatedly using my strength to free myself, but I failed miserably. Lee extended his f*ingers to pinch my lips and whispered in my ear, “Be quiet. If you keep being noisy, I will have to cut your tongue off.” I shot him a murderous glare.Lee placed his palm over my eyes and sighed. “Don’t look at me like that, or I’ll want to scoop out your gorgeous eyes and make them a specimen.”I shivered slightly, but finally managed to restrain my anger and shut up.“Good girl.” Lee gave me a satisfied smile. Then he dipped his index f*inger into the pool of blood on my body and drew a strange pattern on my chest.It felt like some kind of ancient spell.His icy f*ingers traveled from my chest to my belly and then to my back. He seemed to be wrapping me with the invisible lines he drew. My entire body felt uncomfortable and I was getting increasingly uneasy. He seemed to be offering me as a sacrifice. I recalled his prayer and repentanc

Chapter: 61The Little Prince (Klaus’ POV)I soothed Arron until he calmed down. I then picked him up and we continued on our way. My heart prickled with fear and worry. The things that Arron had just said matched the pink-masked clown’s claims. I needed to find Crystal as soon as possible.“No, you’re going the in the wrong direction. This isn’t the way to Mommy!” Arron was slapping my arm frantically in a bid to make me stop. He twisted his tiny body and pointed in another direction. “It’s that way. We need to go there to save Mommy.”I blinked at him in a mix of surprise and bafflement. “How do you even know where she is? Weren’t you unconscious just now?’Arron scrunched up his adorable brows. “I don’t know how to explain it, but I just know. I’ve always had some telepathic abilities, ever since I was a baby. I can just tell. Maybe it’s because Mommy and I are connected.”I nodded, even as I processed this new information. Arron seemed to possess a keen sense of connection to his surroundings

Chapter: 60To ensure that I didn’t alert the clowns, I made a hushing sound as soon as I entered the room. The kids caught a whiff of my scent and quietened down.“Sir, why did you come here again? What are those bad people doing next door? They’re making so much noise. Are they trying to capture you?” the little girl who had beautiful blue eyes asked in a curious voice.“Yes. I’m in some trouble now, but it is nothing to worry about. They may come inside and ask you if you’ve seen me. Just tell them that you haven’t, got it?” I said as I shut the door.“Okay.” The little girl vigorously nodded her head, and then turned her attention back to the food I had brought them“Good girl,” I said in a comforting voice.At this time, the other children next to her also began to chime in.“None of us will tell them we’ve seen you.”“We won’t say anything.” They chorused in sweet but firm voices. “Aren’t you all scared?” My spirits sank a little. They were just kids. Why did they have to endure such terrib

I gently patted his arm, gesturing for him to put me down."Don't you want me to hold you in my arms?" Klaus Frowned in disagreement."It'll be faster if I carry you. You can barely stand still now."Klaus seemed overbearing and clingy for the first time.I looked at him helplessly."I'm afraid we won't be able to get out of the pit if you hold me in your arms." Klaus looked up, examining the height of the pit."With the springing ability of the werewolf, I'll effortlessly

I didn't want to be in this situation, but I definitely didn't want to be abducted."Start talking," I said to the stranger, who looked at me with amusement. "Don't think you can get away with kidnapping me or-""Get away with what? From what I know, no one would come looking for you," he said mockingly before his expression shifted to seriousness. "I'm sorry if I scared you, but I knew this was the only way I could get you to listen to me.""Listen to you? I don't even know you," I cried out in frustration, throwing my hands in the air."You don't need to know me to hear what I'm about to say-""Then why don't you just get on with it?!" I finally snapped at him, studying his charming eyes for any hint of a response. Instead, he smiled and apologized once more."I'm so sorry, Amanda. I-""Hold up," I interrupted, turning to h

Chapter: ThreeLucas Pov.My workers filed out of the conference room, and I slumped back in my chair, the tension draining from my shoulders. My annual reports were stellar, and I was still the top dog in the digital tech industry in Italy. But despite my accomplishments, there was always that nagging voice in the back of my mind. "Don't let it fall," I silently urged myself. I had worked too hard to build my company from the ground up to see it crumble now. Discipline was my best friend, the one constant in my life that had kept me going when my dad had scoffed at my dreams.My dad had never believed in me, always telling me I'd never amount to anything, that I was a disappointment. But I had proven him wrong. Every grueling hour of work, every sleepless night spent poring over numbers and strategies, had led me here. And I wouldn't let anyone or anything bring me down.

Isabella opened her eyes to an unfamiliar place and not only that she felt an ache between her thighs. She was in the arms of someone when she tried pulling away the person only gripped tighter. With caution as to not wake him up she wriggled out of his embrace after quite some time. She looked down between thighs and saw some blood stains there. They were even on the sheets.

Isabella walked into it with apprehension because she didn’t make any reservation.“Name?” the waiter asked.“Umm...Isabella Green.” She said.He checked his name books humming a popular song. Then checked again. “I’m sorry but your name isn’t on the list” the waiter said with a pitiful smile.“Check again please, I’m supposed to meet someone here.” Isabella asked politely.The waiter checked again for formality sake but shook his head. Isabella was frustrated and was about to call William to confirm the place when a hand lightly tapped her.“Isabella Green?” the intruder asked.She nodded apprehensively.“Your table is ready miss. It is registered under a different name.” He said.Isabella thanked him and followed as he led her to the table. No one was at the table yet so she sat down alone.There was a rose on the table she picked it up and sniffed it. It smelled like...well...roses.Isabella pulled out

A little girl, probably the same age as her was standing next to the woman. She had the same haughty look as the woman.“This is my daughter, Isabella.” Her father said pulling her closer to him. She stared up at the woman and gave a small smile.The woman sneered but quickly covered it up with an overly fake smile.

The fate of the Blackwood, of our entire world, is at stake."Phillip's gaze remained fixed on Damien, his expression twisted with a mixture of desperation and obsession. "I don't care about the Blackwood," he spat. "I only want what's mine – you and our son."Damien's muscles coiled with the promise of violence, his magic crackling in the air around them. "She is not yours, Phillip," he growled. "She is mine, and I will not let you take her or our son from me."Ana felt a surge of anguish coursing through her. She had once loved Phillip, but his obsession had consumed him, blinding him to the greater threat that loomed before them. She knew that she had to find a way to reach him, to make him understand the gravity of the situation."Phillip," she said, her voice firm and unwavering.

As Ana and her mate Damien took their seats, I cleared my throat, gathering their attention. "Are you all ready to continue?""Yes, I believe we are," Ana replied, her voice calm but resolute.I took a deep breath, steeling myself to relay the rest of this tragic tale. "Alright, then. Let's go back to your mother and father..."I recounted the history, how Sophia's jealousy and thirst for power had driven her to manipulate the truth, trying in vain to tear apart your parents' mated bond. "Everyone knows you can't alter an accepted bonded pair, especially Lycans. But Sophia believed she could twist their reality, and she failed."I paused, hanging my head in shame.

They were thriving on it, pushing themselves to the limit."Babe, slow down!" Damien called out through the link, but Ana ignored him, driven by the intensity of the chase.As they crested the mountain, Ana caught a glimpse of Dexter, the sound of tires squealing in the distance as he tried to make his escape. With a mighty leap, Ana launched herself from the peak, Charlotte's growl echoing through the valley.Dexter turned, his eyes widening as Ana came barreling towards him. They collided, tumbling down the mountainside in a flurry of claws and teeth. Ana fought to maintain the upper hand, determined not to let Dexter slip away again.They crashed into a large boulder, Dexter's head slamming against the rock with a sickening crack.

The light breeze tickled their fur as Charlotte inhaled deeply, catching a familiar scent - Dexter.Ana's head turned towards the direction of the wind, a low growl rumbling through her. "It's Dexter's scent. Faint, but I'm sure of it," she linked to Damien."How sure are you?" Damien questioned."Willing to bet everything I have on it," Ana replied, Charlotte turning so they could look at Damien as he approached.They crouched, looking out over the small human town below. It was quaint, with a newly repainted courthouse and bustling businesses lining the streets. Ana could hear the faint voices of the townsfolk, knowing they had to be careful not to draw attention.Miranda came around, passing out herbal necklaces to conceal their scent. She helped secure one around Charlotte's neck before moving to Damien. The four of them overlooked the town as the sun set, discussing their plan to move in under the cove
