Brother TimeAstrid's POVThe horrifying screams of my mate echoed in my ears reminding me how much undeserving I was. For literally anything. I loved her and this was not what person I love should get. Especially from me. So what if she had planned to wipe your existence, right? You should make an exception when the betrayer is your mate, right? If this is what you think, then you are not fit to be the ruler of this kingdom. You are not just endangering yourself but your people as well.A voice spoke inside me and my snapped out of my guilt trap. How could I feel sad for a betrayer? Yes, I loved her but did she love me?! Her only reason to stay with me and between my people to eat us from the inside and then kill us!She deserves a lot worst than what she got. This whipping was nothing. Traitors are tied in the air with hands on either side and beaten the rod, they are tortured until they lose their own sanity and then fed their body parts to stray wolves. They don't deserve any ki
Astrid's POVI was frozen in my place after I heard the two words from my brother about not just my mate, but my love's intention against me. Why did you hate me so much, Yun? What did I and my people ever do to you? If you could not love me, then why did you pretend and gave me hope of forever. Hope that I can see you every morning and kiss you while you kiss me back. Hope that we can cuddle, laugh and run around the palace all we want. Hope that you would decorate our mansion the way you want and always keep your mark.What kind of price was I paying to you?Unknowingly, a lone tear rolled down my eyes and my brother quickly wiped it. I looked up to find my brother's eyes watery too."I understand your pain. Please don't hold yourself back, brother. Cry if you want to. You don't deserve to be treated like this." Ulfred said gently and his hands caressed my hair and I nodded."I need time for myself." I said and stood up."Take as much as time that you need. I'll take care of everyt
Dark nightYuna's POV"Yun, I'm sorry I'm late." The voice said from above after opening the little window near the ceiling and I was confused and scared. Who could it be so late at night?The figure was dark under the moon light and I could not see the face but the voice was familiar as he jumped down but his legs did not make a noise as if he was trained for it.He landed in front of me and smirked. Calvin?"How did you..." I started weakly but could not finish the sentence as he took me in his embrace tightly."Oh God I was so freaking worried about you!" I hissed in pain when his hands wrapped around my bruised body and he quickly let me go."What the freaking fuck did they do to you?!" He whispered-yelled and fresh tears rolled down my cheeks. He sighed and patted my head before taking my tied up hands in his hand and started untying them. He quietly untied my legs and kissed my forehead. If he could help me get out of here, there was nothing more that I wanted than that. I stay
Some exposure of lifeYuna's POV"That's understandable." She cupped my cheek and smiled assuring that the pain will reduce with time. "Don't worry so much about it.""Yeah.""You want to eat something?" She said and stood up from the bed."Yes, please." I said and she giggled."Right away." She said and left before closing the door of the room.I looked at the closed curtain which his the total light coming from outside but some brightness still kept peeking inside the room. I sighed and leaned my back, still looking the curtains.Since two days, I've just been passing out and being tossed here and there by everyone.First, I woke up in such a unfamiliar new place which seemed to be a place I always live in, then I'm being escorted to the hospital and the results by the doctor was so unexpected for a human being.My blood had high amount of poison which can only be healed by a pure Alpha's blood. How was I alive then? How was I able to make this dead body function with my soul? It wa
The cozy RoomYuna's POVAfter a very chaotic morning which ended with breakfast, I was told to rest. I still needed time to heal and the headache was no better. No matter what, I was still shook by the incident. While everyone kept trying to cheer me up with their lame jokes, I knew what they were up to. But I could not just forget what I went through when even my bruises were still fresh. Calvin carefully laid me on the bed and covered me with a blanket. He closed the curtains which till this time were proving light in the room and turned to me."You want bonfire?" He asked gently, turning towards the bonfire in the room."Yeah, thanks." I replied calmly. He spent some time near the bonfire to the lit the fire and returned to me. He held my hand softly and kissed the knuckles."Call me whenever you want. Phone is here." He said and pointed at the table where my phone was kept."Yes." I whispered and he smiled before leaving my hand and walking towards the door.I saw his figure lea
During the DinnerYuna's POVCurrently, I was being escorted to the living room of the villa I was staying in by Alice who held me from the side as I was walking with her. I sat on the couch and looked around a bit. The villa was spacious for comfortable for five people and the decor was light grey and faint yellow. There was a chandelier at the ceiling in the centre of the living room and small lights on the ceiling in every corner. I rested my back on the couch and sighed."Dinner is ready." Harry chimed from the kitchen and I saw him walking outside with a frying pan in his hand and his torse wrapped with an apron.I stood up slowly and walked towards the dining table with Alice who pulled a chair for me. I won't say I was walking slow or felt any weakness in me, but they were just behind me all day. And I just wanted to feel normal so I insisted on having dinner on the dining table.I was walking fine and my wounds hurt just like yesterday when I got them but it was getting better
At the BreakfastYuna's POVThe next morning was a little peaceful than the previous day. We all gathered at the dining table while Harry and Mia set the table. By this time, I guessed that the five of us lived together and were not just a group of hunters but also friends. But I did not know the depth of this friendship nor did I know a single thing about them. Which could bring problems for me in the near future, and I knew that.I sat at my respective chair and served myself with the pasta and toppings when Calvin's phone rang grabbing all our attention. He looked at the caller ID and excused himself, leaving the table."Harry, what's up with your university? I heard that the dean had called your parents or guardian from your teacher but I got this detail from you." Alice broke the silent and asked Harry, looking at him."He called you? When?" He asked, laughing sheepishly."Harry, what did you do again?" Mia asked with an amusing tone."What would I do anything and why would I br
The OfficeYuna's POVMerlin Shaw, age 49, hometown California, learned Martial Arts from his father, has a younger brother Matthew Shaw who owns an academy to train what he learned.As if my brain was a machine, all of these information flash in my mind and I recall who this old man sitting on his chair like a king was. He was mischievous, gentle and too caring. And for some reason, Yuna never liked him. She was kinda rude to him and never answered his question or never really talked to him unless it included work.Now what work you'd say? Shield Agents was a team name and we were the hunters who worked together to protect the humans and also wipe out any territory which was dangerous for humans, or more precisely — The werewolves.I was amazed at the man's behaviour who looked so lethargic and relaxed as if the humans are not dying. Is that why Yuna never liked him?"Yuna, darling." Merlin called me and I woke up from my trance only to notice that I was looking down at the floor in
Walking inside Dora's room, he expected to find Sylvie beside her, but she wasn't. Maybe she went to the terrace. He went to check if she was fine and found her standing safely behind the grill, her back in his direction. He didn't disturb her and went back to Dora who was still sleeping. Sitting beside her, he stroked her hair thinking about the word Sylvie told but he ignored it in between the argument. 'Boyfriend' she had said. How did she get to know? Guess this little girl was smart. He scoffed and looked at Dora's eyes which were closed. He was yearning to see her Hazel orbs but seeing her like this, he found her adorable. —Frederick's POV— She smiled. When I looked at her, I couldn't help myself but wonder what was she dreaming about. Are you dreaming about me? So silly of me. You'd even be hitting me in your dreams for god knows which fault I committed. I scoffed at my thoughts leaning back, still stroking her cheeks. They're not wet because of tears but I could feel her
When Dora was about sleep, she realized she haven't talked with Fred all day. Her health was improving slowly which was unexpected.She thought her body was strong enough to cure anything, but she was so wrong. Sighing deeply, she lay on the bed staring at the ceiling quietly thinking about the giftshe brought. The gift might be useless but she had no idea if Fred would find it cute.After roaming a lot in the market, she ended up calling her little sister for any ideas and the suggestion was so simple! She regretted not having any gift buying knowledge but it wasn't like it was her choice though. Thinking of a gift for Fleur was a tough job as she didn't know much about her so all she could buy was a show flower bouquet with no fragrance.Just when she was about to doze off, a notification on her phone made her excited as she quickly grabbed it and checked it was Fred.An instant smile took place on her sleepy face as her fingers started replying to his texts.Soon after a long talk
Shaking off all the thoughts, I waited for Eric to return. I couldn't call anyone. I seriously need to go there and meet.It's all because of the invention of the phone that we never memorize anyone's numbers.But I'll memorize everyone's numbers now. As Eric entered the room, he raised his eyebrows twice before resting them again asking me if I called anyone."I don't remember anyone's number." I sighed. I left my phone in the car before we headed to meet Roy. I frowned as a question popped up in my mind."It's okay. Meet them when you're okay." He patted my head."Can I ask you something?" I asked. Seeing my serious face, he frowned too."Yeah, sure.""When you found me, did you find anyone else with me?" I asked.I know this might be a stupid question or may create many doubts but I needed to make sure if Roy was still alive.He hesitated to speak for a while which tensed me. Growing up anxiety ate up all my patience as I sat straight ignoring the pain for some time."Uh... yes." H
Nymphadora's POVFluttering my eyes as my brain gave a command to open it, I closed them again as the bright light forced itself on my face. Feeling my lungs alive, I took a deep breath slowly feeling my surroundings.I was lying on a soft mattress covered by the sheets. My hips were paining to the point that it made it impossible for me to move. My foot was aching with pain too.I felt bandages. I was still struggling with the sun and felt like it was fighting me to stay put as I was.Trying to raise my hands, I felt as if they were working after a long time, I rubbed my palms on my forehead before protecting my eyes from the direct sun as my throat left a voice that sounded annoyed."Oh, you're awake!" I heard a male voice but couldn't pull myself to turn my head in the direction of the origin.I heard the footsteps across the room and eventually noticed the sunlight was gone. He had pulled the curtains close.I finally managed to open my eyes to see a well-decorated ceiling, probab
The temporary base campAstrid's POVI, along with my father, headed towards the base camp set by the soldiers of both of the kinds. Finding out about the creature's motive and the one giving him orders was necessary. Because even if right he was caught, she was on the lose. There is nothing stopping her from finding another deer for doing her dirty work while she lived anonymously. Taking a full breath was out of question and I was craving to take my real form because of the anxiety and lack of breath, but I had to calm down.I looked at my father sitting beside in the car, he was looking outside with his hand on his lips and elbow resting near the window. He was still in deep thoughts and I decided not to disturb him. The car ride remained silent until we reached out destination and we stood outside.I closed my eyes for a while to focus on my breathing and took a long breath. We both walked inside and the soldiers greeted us. I saw the human soldiers standing alongside our soldier
Astrid's POVIt was supposed to be my day off because of the weekend but who said I was working as employee? I was the King and I had no such things called holiday in my life. Sounds painful, but yeah, I had already accepted this. I never had any problem in working but Yuna always made me want to take leave and just tuck in the bed and spend some quality time with her. But alas, here I was.I was still wearing my nightwear since I had no one to see or talk to but I had to just read some papers and sign a few documents before I could head out. I opened my father's office and saw him sitting on the chair with his head leaning back and eyes closed with a frown. I approached him and saw his hands entangled on his lap.He was probably thinking something deeply and that was when I saw the file lying in front of him which was attached to a picture. A picture of a man."Dad." I called him out."Take a look at this file." He said without moving an inch from his place and I held the file in my
Warm waterAstrid's POV"No." She said. I wanted to scream and jump in joy with her approval but I contained myself. I did not want to do anything that would scare her in any way but just wanted to comfort her in her ways. She loved warm bathtub time and loved it even more when I massaged her head while she rested.Not that she ever accepted my help nor confessed that she liked it. It was I who insisted on helping her with a promise that I would not get horny, which was difficult.That would be the first time she agreed with me. I helped to remove her dress because her hands and legs were weak and pale. But even after being pale and tired, her face turned rosy when I pecked her lips and I loved having that effect on her.I scooped her in my arms and headed towards the bathtub filled with warm water and bath bombs. She was just so perfect in my arms that I always wanted her in them.I gently placed her in the water and she sighed in relief. I smiled a bit and took a small stool and plac
Lord's BedroomYuna's POVAfter a long time, I finally opened my eyes after keeping them shut even after waking up for quite a while. I scared to look around or worse see if there was someone waiting for me to wake up.Especially, the lord.The room was dark since the curtains were closed and the light was not allowed to get in much. It was daytime. I took a deep breath and tried to sit up the support of my elbows but laid back down with a hiss.My whole body was in extreme pain and my brain was numb, dizzy. I closed my eyes again, realising that not moving or waking up was so better.Now my body was aching with pain even when I was not moving. This was worse. But I could not feel the ankle detector on my legs anymore. Was it gone or I just could not feel it because my body for used to it?I slowly opened my eyes and looked around the room. It was Astrid's room. Everything in that room was the same, not that a few days would have changed anything. The smell of the room reminded me of
Astrid's POV"Thanks, mom." I replied and looked at father and he nodded before turning to his wife."My Juliet, this knight in his not so shining armour would now have to return his task of saving this lazy world. Now, if you excuse me." He bowed and kissed her knuckles, making her chuckle and dramatically turned around, pushing me and walking out of the kitchen.I rolled my eyes but followed him as we made our way to his office and his whole demeanor changed as I closed the door behind me. Same old dad."I heard that Ulfred told you something." He said and leaned on the table, hands crossed on his chest."He told me that the human army were actually trying to warn us about the sealed gates getting endangered and an underground creature on lose lurking in the human world." I said and he frowned with his eyes wide."Then what happened to him?" He asked."They said he was found near the hunter's society while the remaining soldiers were trying to tell the our soldiers about this and tr
