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 was dragged into the dungeon. I sobbed and sobbed as I kissed the dusty ground.As expected, I still belonged to the ground. To the bottom of the food chain. I was still the same old human slave I was once before.I made a lie and tried to trick Iram.That whole night, I was punished. Several guards whipped my back. They were effortlessly doing it without even exerting force. If they did, I would be torn to pieces.I did not plead for them to stop. I just let them hurt me over and over.I deserved this. I deserved to be treated like this. It was because I only wasted his time believing I could heal him. But the truth is, I couldn't. I couldn't heal him. And now, his days are numbered and because of me, he will face his own demise.After what seemed forever, the guards stopped whipping me. They left me hardly breathing. My muscles tremble in excruciating pain. It was unbearable that the pain turned to numbness.I just looked up at the ceiling. Tears automatically ran
Iram's POVI saw everything happen. It was too sudden that I could no longer have a track of time.I was full of rage. But my heart sank at the moment Amarantha was dragged away from me. Her eyes gleamed with despair, pleading for her life.The truth is, I wanted her to at least defend herself. To lie or even tell me that it wasn't true. But she didn't.She bowed her head fully with remorse."I'm so sorry..." was the only sentence I could ever think of. I thought that my ear bled in front of them.My mate had betrayed me. And the moment the truth was revealed, my heart began to constrict. My whole body was frozen. But since everyone was looking at me, I stayed still.I pointed in Amarantha's direction. My eyes darted darkly. "Take her away!"As soon as they took her out of my chamber, I began to fall to my knees. I held my chest. Unable to breathe. I groaned in pain. My world was spinning. I held on to the edge of the bed but my world started to darken. Until I lost consciousness...*
