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
Amarantha's POV I am doomed.After I released the sinful juices inside of me, I knew that I'm doomed.Because my body wasn't patient enough to wait for tonight, I dragged someone inside my chamber and let him claim me. I made love to someone I shouldn't suppose to be with.Gamma Omnibus. Though inside of me, I knew he was also my mate, I was also sure that Iram was my mate. They have the same effect on me. Same energy as I was a twin in one.Maybe this was the mystery of my life. My whole system isn't something I could easily understand. It was as complex as the universe. I still couldn't get a hold of my own identity. It was like I was floating dust that didn't know where to belong.Was I really human? Or was I a werewolf ever since?Omnibus was beside me, he rested on top of my sheet. His scent was all over me. He was catching his breath while he planted a subtle kiss on my forehead, passionate and thoughtful. He was very careful when he claimed me. He never did the rough thing as
Amarantha's POV I sneaked out of my chamber. I only have a few minutes before Iram comes to me."Quick, Amarantha! Or we'll both be dead," Ava hastily warned me.I sped up my pace until I reached the familiar alley toward the dark dungeon.I stepped slowly, hearing the echoing thuds of my shoes. As I finally arrived at my destination, I started looking at the rectangular peephole. I saw the resting figure of Shintara. She was comfortable looking at the ceiling while hugging her knees close to her chest."What do you want, Luna?" she blandly asked.I bit my lower lip. "I need your help..."She laughed sarcastically. After that, she turned her head to me with a spiteful look. "I'm afraid I can't. You deserve to be punished..."I widened my eyes. My heart skipped a beat. Fear took over my state. What now? What should I do?Ava scoffed. "She's angry, Amarantha. That bitch is Omnibus' former mate!" she revealed."I-is that true?""Yes! I could feel it. They had a brief connection a long t
Amarantha's POV I collected a lungful of air. I was in front of Iram's door, biting my lower lip.I heard from my new chambermaid that Iram has already returned from his expedition. I was unrested the whole time as I was walking back to his chamber.I lifted my hand and was about to knock when suddenly I felt a warm breath fanning my neck. I momentarily closed my eyes, feeling the sensation sent to me."You came..." Iram whispered. He drafted the tip of his nose and drew subtle lines on my shoulder and nape. My goosebumps were guiding his way. I almost moaned at it."I-Iram..."I heard him chuckle. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me slowly toward the door. "Come. I might forget that we're still outside..."I nervously smiled at him, obliging his words.We entered the room. As soon as he closed the door behind us, he continued getting busy with my back. This time, he was kissing my nape and shoulders."H-how's your day?" I suddenly asked while trying to distract myself."Hmm... tiring.
Amarantha's POV All night I was just staring blankly at the ceiling. Iram was beside me, safe and sound. He was hibernating from that love encounter we shared. I rested on his arm while I hugged his chest.The same position I had with Omnibus earlier.The only difference was, my body was innocent at the time Iram claimed me. I felt that wall breaking within me when he plunged himself inside. My body, as a human, had my first night with the Alpha King. My mate, my forever.But inside my mind, I also knew this wasn't my first. Omnibus was my first. But at the same time, I was with him, it felt so new. My purity was taken away from me. My innocence.I couldn't help but compare them.Omnibus was a perfect mate for me. I could feel how we naturally bond. Our souls were like imprinted since the day I was born. He was for me and I was for him. He was too kind and too gentle when he claimed me. Every bit of my cells yearned and appreciated his thrusts. He was too careful not to hurt me. He w
Amarantha's POV I saw many things a human shouldn't have at this time of age.As girls leaving in Scotland, we could have been enjoying the traditions and swooning about the magic of love in wedding ceremonies.I was once that typical woman. But in today's generation where I live in a world where another creature coexisted with humans, I beg to differ.Human girls would still prefer marrying rather than choosing to be of service to the people.I became the Luna Queen of Europe.Years passed. Other packs reshaped the way they thought about the world. The Alpha King and I are devout to be of service to the werewolf society. It was a tough job as many ridiculed me for being a human.Many also ridiculed Iram for the rumors of him being cursed by the Moon Goddess. But I stayed by his side and never left him.I showed them that the curse was nothing but propaganda to oust him from his post as the Alpha King.Inima already explained things to us. Before she died, she revealed everything inc
Iram's POV Right after Omnibus left, memories started to rush inside of me...Omnibus came to me inside the library with quite a surprise.He was with Lorna.I narrowed my eyes in confusion. "Lorna? What are you doing here? You were with her?" I asked Omnibus.He shrugged and pointed at her. "She said she has to say something to you."I turned to her again and waited for her to say something.She heaved a sigh and faced me. "Alpha King. Please forgive me for fooling you, but please hear me out before it's too late..." she suddenly uttered."What do you want to tell me?""I am not Lorna Ferrel. I am a Chimera. Someone that has two souls, two wolves in one body. With that, I have two fated mates. And one of them was you..."I arched my brow at her. I am starting to get annoyed. "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you trying to fool me right now?""I am telling you the truth. I am none other than your first mate. Inima Wahlberg. Beta Iñigo's dead sister. I am her. I am that fated
Omnibus' POV After that conversation with Luna Amarantha and Shintara, I felt like my energy was drained from me.At night, King Iram asked for my audience. Still, a bit disarrayed, I forced myself to get up and came to his chamber.He sat at a table and poured a drink. He smiled and gestured his hand to me. "Come and join me here, Omnibus!" he delightfully invited me.My shoulders slumped at the scene and frowned at him. "Wow! I'm dying inside and you're celebrating? Do I look like a joke to you, Iram?" I casually asked.He snorted and patted the empty chair. "It's not for celebration, idiot!"I gasped. "Woah! When did you learn to cuss at me, brother?""Shintara taught me well, don't worry!" he laughed.I frowned and rolled my eyes. "Did you just call me to make fun of my broken heart?"Iram chuckled again and placed the glass in front of me. "Drink."I sighed and stared at the glass before drinking the beer in it. "Is it so wrong to feel guilty about Amarantha's twin sister? I mea
Amarantha's POV During the lunch with the Alpha King, the two love birds can't stop bickering at each other. They sent sharp daggers at each other and then turned away in contempt.I couldn't help but sigh."Can someone please tell me what's happening?" Iram asked but I just turned to him and shook my head."Don't ask. They won't budge. Trust me."***** After that, Iram had to leave us three for some peace talks with other packs.I was left with the two still not happy with each other's company."Do you want to reject each other? Is that it?" I asked."No!" they both angrily replied."Well, then, kiss and make up already!""It's not that simple, Luna!" Shintara reasoned. "I don't want to get married to a man who is still stuck with his past!""And I wouldn't want to marry a woman who still thinks she knows better! Fine by me!" Omnibus butted in.I rolled my eyes and massaged my temples. After that, I faced them. "Let's be clear here. Ava is dead. My twin sister is dead. So, what's t
Amarantha's POV I smiled at the boy who asked that question and patted his shoulder. "Good question, dear!" I told him delightfully. "Because I don't want to change everything in me. I accept who and what I am as I am made to be who I am."If I try to change myself, then I would have no face to show in front of my original race. I wouldn't have convinced them into this peace. Most importantly, the new rules would be irrelevant to those people who wanted peace. Because if I become the face of someone who isn't proud of who I am, then what will become of others? They wouldn't be happy to see me not so proud of how I was brought into this world."The people sympathized with my words and understood me.For me, it wasn't just because of the humans that I stayed human. For me, I chose to stay who I am because I am happy with who I am.God made me a human for a purpose. He wanted me to reach this far for me to know what I should do. And this was it."Roaming around again?" Beta Omnibus teas
Amarantha's POV We immediately left Nottingham with a brief announcement to leave.I could not wait for Emerett's approval anymore. I just told him that I await his answer but he has to deliver it with action.Shintara and I immediately landed on Prima Tierra. With her swift strides, we came back in a span of 30 minutes.I was shocked to see the scenery.I saw Iram's wolf fighting against Iñigo's wolf. Some of Prima Tierra's soldiers were losing."No one came from Ouse?" I asked worriedly."We need stalling, Luna. You must go to the border and let them in. I will help others in here," Shintara said then left. She fought alongside the soldiers.I frustratingly ran toward the border. Some were about to attack me but luckily, a familiar wolf came and killed two of the werewolves."Omnibus?""How are you doing, Luna? Be careful!" he shouted, then led me to the border. After that, he left me alone.Not long enough, the pack of rogues came.The leader shifted into his human form and faced
Amarantha's POV "We have to hurry!" Shintara shouted at me.I was having second thoughts about leaving Iram behind. I didn't feel cool with this. Something is bothering me."What are you taking so long?" she asked, irritated. "We're almost there, Luna!""I can't just do this. Something is not right, Shintara. What if something happened to them?""Quit overthinking and let's focus on this task. Do you not want this for your people?"She's right. I was too busy worrying about Iram. He can handle himself. He is very strong unlike me who is just a mere human who can only heal him if he needs me.After that thought, I decided to follow Shintara's tracks. Shintara shifted into her large white wolf form. She let me ride behind her as she swiftly glided through the forest.We reached the Ouse River in front of the Rogue Alpha's tavern.They displayed hostility but when they saw Shintara's wolf, they all scowled away in fear and backed down.Shintara shifted back to her human form and faced t
Iram's POV "Your Majesty! They are already here! The traitors!" one of the Iotas shouted.I clenched my jaw in anger and faced the army I have prepared. "Gather all the citizens and make sure they are safe in one place. Close all exit points once they enter our pack." I turned to my right. "Gamma, choose one Iota you trust the most to relay my message. We need their help right now. Do you understand?"Omnibus nodded. "Yes, your majesty!" He faced his men and picked one for the work. That was when Shintara appeared.She crossed her arms and confidently looked at her mate. "I will lead that part. Count me in!" she volunteered."Are you sure you're going to do this?" he asked worriedly."Hey, if I ever was born rich like you, I would have been the Alpha King's Gamma. Don't pamper me too much."I scoffed at their bickering. But I no longer hated cheesy moments like this.I looked over my shoulder and smiled at the lady that lit up my whole life. "My Luna! How are you feeling?"Amarantha
Iñigo's POV "What are you saying, Oliver? Are you saying that the Luna was kidnapped?" Delta Redentus asked."Y-yes, Delta.""Where is your evidence? You cannot just say that in this court without evidence!" Gufu also uttered."I do have, Zeta. I have solid proof. But first, I want to ask the Alpha King about his recollection of this...""What is his involvement?"Oliver faced Iram and bowed his head. "My King. I would like to ask you a question...""Go ahead..." he replied."That night when you punished the luna after not eating the food you prepared for her, did you remember how you treated her? Specifically, where did she stay and who was with her?" Oliver asked curiously.Iram's forehead creased in confusion. "I don't quite remember everything. It was too bloody hellish that night that I didn't want to remember..." he answered honestly. "But I do remember approving to have her guarded by many Iotas," he added.My heart raised a million miles after hearing those words from him.Co
