Shintara's POV "Wait for me, Shin. I will come for you..." I finally heard that voice.I couldn't stop myself from smiling inside my cellar. After 2 days of wasting my time inside this dungeon, I realized until now that I still need to escape this place.After watching Lorna bleed to death, I couldn't move. I stopped my utmost desire to fight back. That was why it was so easy for that Alpha King to seize me along with Omnibus.They put wolfsbane on the special cuffs they made for me. I just hoped they added the highest volume so that I could die immediately. I didn't have to go through such a trial knowing that I was only living on my own without my family. But unfortunately, I was still alive and seeing the little sunshine from the little peephole on the wall. I could see the soldiers and civilians walking to and fro the wall where I could see them in the background.This was all before I finally saw her face to face. The first time I caught a glimpse of her was when I entered the c
Amarantha's POV I was tossing and turning in the middle of the night. The moon was radiating blood red in the night sky. It felt a bit creepy but I was too preoccupied with Omnibus' offer to me.He wanted me to run away with him.I bit my lower lip as I try to weigh things from perspective. What would I do if I run away with him? What would happen next?Those were the questions I wanted answers to. But despite the efforts to meditate, the odds were simply inevitable.Even if I walk away, Iram would still find and kill me. This month is the peak of his curse. The last straw of hope for his life to be taken away by the Moon Goddess herself. And still, no matter what I do, I couldn't heal him. I just couldn't. I was as useless as I was since the day I was born. And now weird things coming at my door, and I couldn't stop torturing my brain in making strategies to solve things one step at a time."Then, why don't you run away with our mate?" the wolf suddenly interrupted my thoughts. She
Amarantha's POV Violin rhythm. Cascading melodies were equally familiar to my ears. They all invaded my ears the moment I set foot in the large hall. There was a grand staircase at the end of the hall. Two long tables with buffet courses.I missed this kind of life. I once had a glimpse of this lifestyle before. I remembered well when my father took me to a grand ball. It was a prominent gathering that rich men and women could attend.I was stunned at that moment. I removed the glistered mask from my face and take a full view of the grand hall. Many humans are inside it. Most of them were well-known people all over Europe.My jaw dropped when I recognized a few."I-is that Johanne Debarge? The great painter in Europe?" I gasped and covered my mouth.I even saw a few of Europe's officials. Some of them are happy and extravagantly brazen like there was never a war going on all over the continent.I frowned a bit and just focused on the dress I now wore.It was a glittered-yellowish off
Amarantha's POVI couldn't believe what I just heard.I thought I was dreaming it all. But when people started to gather around me, I felt a sinkhole wanted to eat me alive.Emerett's voice kept on playing inside my head. It was like a curse trying to chant me unheard hostility and sinister wishes. My whole being crumbled within me. My insides twitched. Muscles stiffened. My heart went into shock.These people. These very people whom I wanted to save so badly ended up using me to kill the Alpha King. They wanted me to do the dirty job.For so long, I knew for certain that we, humans, wanted freedom so badly that they made Human Alliance Group to eradicate werewolves. It meant war. It meant a blood bath.But what I couldn't bring to understand was how did they know about Iram's curse? I thought that it was a secret Prima Tierra Pack has kept for so long that even their civilians didn't know about this. But hearing this from the very group that I revered so much, made my spirit drop dea
Amarantha's POVMy hands were literally trembling as I woke up from a sudden slumber.After that conversation with Emerett, I just felt dizzy. I still remember what had happened...I think someone had put something on my food.My head was spinning. It felt like needles trying to drill inside my brain. I held my head. Suddenly, a pair of shoes slowly neared my location. It was the same shoes I saw at the choosing ceremony. That man who gave me the dress.I froze for a moment. Slowly, I looked up and finally got to see the face of the man who was responsible for the fate I had.Tears automatically fell from my eyes. "Y-you..."I could hear Emerett's giggle in the background while Bryan's face seemed unfazed. He only gave me a dead stare. Emotionless. He looked like he never really cared about my life. My existence. That I was one of the casualties that only remained useful for now, but only until Iram was declared dead."You can do this, Amarantha! You know that we need to win, right? W
Amarantha's POVI instantly looked away as soon as possible or else Iram would see me blushing over his hard groin teasing me to taste him.Though I saw everything before, I still couldn't help but blush."C-can't you even use a towel or something?" I asked him, still not looking at his figure. I'm guessing his facial expression but no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't seem to finish painting it inside my head.What if he was smirking? What if he became angry? Gosh! I didn't know what to do right now. I wish I didn't wake up early and just let him do his business!"Oh, please! I could feel how much you wanted to see him naked! Get a break, Amarantha!" Ava teased me but she was in a bad mood. And I knew exactly why. She was openly wishing it was our mate, Omnibus.I just rolled my eyes at her. "Shut up!""I-I didn't know that you sleep inside my chamber," Iram suddenly said apologetically which earned me a raise on my brow. It wasn't in his usual self, otherwise, he would've jus
Amarantha's POV I couldn't seem to sleep. I tried many times to let myself fall asleep inside my chamber.I left Iram's chamber as soon as he left. I couldn't bare to smell his scent. I might want to touch myself. I could feel the urge building up inside of me.But that wasn't the problem. The problem was I was still in this inevitable heat. I already bathed 3 times in a row. But still to no avail.This was my first time feeling this way. I didn't know how humans feel love toward their companions. I didn't know that it was this difficult to handle.But the heat and pain were trying to weaken my resolve. I even moan in agony."W-what's happening to me, Ava?" I asked my wolf."You are in heat. Your human side is in heat. And the longer you stay like that, the faster your wolf side will feel the same heat as well. We'll be needing our mates by then," she informed me which earned me a gasp from my mouth."Y-you can't be serious! I-I can't, Ava. That's not what I'm planning to do. Please,
Omnibus' POV I knew that something was wrong that night. I was always active in making my rounds around the castle's vicinity. Then, after that, I always check up on Luna Amarantha.But that night was a bit weird. A lot of Iotas were on patrol near Luna's chamber. Some of them were the ones used to guard the border of Prima Tierra. I knew them because I was the one who trained them.And when I was about to walk toward Luna's chamber, five of them blocked my way by putting their spheres at the center.I creased my forehead and looked at them. "What's the meaning of this?" I asked."The Alpha King instructed us to guard the castle premises, especially Luna Amarantha's chamber. We are instructed not to let anyone including the Royal Council members enter within this line," the Iota in front of me answered.Defeated, I just nodded and stepped back.I was still confused and I couldn't sit still. I was instructed to always guard the Luna despite my busy schedule in training new Iotas. But
