Ava's POVI carefully walked near the ground where Ora had told me about. It was the land of the dead in a literal meaning.I was sweating profusely at the sight. The filth started to irritate my nostrils. I groaned faintly and closed my eyes.Why did I have to go to this length just to save Amarantha? I should have just focused on myself instead of worrying about my twin. Besides, she was too selfish to lead Omnibus!I sighed. I feel like I want to give up now. "Do we really have to go through this?" I frustratingly asked Ora.She nodded bashfully with the branch of the tree as her staff. "There's no other way, Madame Ava. This is the only way to get to the border."Dang!I exasperatingly sighed and thought over a million times before finally focusing on my horizon. "Alright. All I have to do is pass this land, right?"She nodded again.I returned my sight in front me and collected a lungful of air before stepping my foot to the soil. I stepped forward further, slowly but surely, mak
Iram's POV "My King! My King!" a loud voice cried as I was about to write in my journal.I raised an eyebrow in annoyance. "Who is that?"One of the Iotas came to me in a haste. He bowed to me. "My King, the Iotas from the Europe boundary want to talk to you about something important..." he announced."Something important?" I repeated. "How important was it that they dare to barge in here?!""Forgive me, my King, but they wouldn't tell unless it is you whom they speak to."I scoffed. I ended up spilling the ink on my table and slammed the quil and my journal. How dare they brazenly cut off my peaceful study?I sighed in resignation and looked at the Iota in front of me. "Give them to me and make sure no one comes after them!" I grumpily ordered him."Yes, my king!" He immediately left and called the two Iotas from Europe Boundary.I was whole day grumpy because of what I did earlier. After I saw how that brazen Annie Thompson disgrace one of my human slaves, I still had the nerve to
Annie's POVI quickly ran back to my room while holding my chest. I was holding my breath the whole time.I didn't know he was there.All I wanted to do was to finish my tasks. The head chambermaid told me to clean that room.I was already aware that the room was forbidden from any other wolves. It was said to be owned by King Iram's luna. A human mate. I didn't know her name and no one ever dared to speak of her name. King Iram had forbidden Prima Tierra to talk about it, especially in front of him. All that who were caught doing it would be punished.The head chambermaid hated me. I could feel it. They hated aliens like me. They hated that I was from Prima Tierra's rival pack, the Froster Pack. That was why she forced me to go inside that chamber and clean the room.No one had ever cleaned the room entirely before. The head chambermaid was in charge of this room. She was just told to wipe the walls and the floor but never try to dust off the bed or the vanity set. Only the curtains
Inima's POV "What?!"I slammed my fist on top of the vanity inside Iñigo's chamber.I turned to him in rage and confusion. "What do you mean he slept with him? Did I make myself clear that she needed to leave this place? What happened to your so-called plan, huh?" I challenged him while crossing my arms on my chest."I need more time, Inima. It's not easy to go against King Iram without making that woman bad in front of him. You know, when you did that stunt, he still slept with her. I have Iotas telling me about it. And then, there are rumors that he already slept with her back from Froster Pack. And her mark... it doesn't smell like Alpha Trace at all. She smelt very King Iram to me," he revealed.That made my heart sink in deep pain.I clasped my hands into fists as I clenched my jaw. "How dare he marks another woman behind my back?! I will not let this slide. I need to tell him that I'm Inima. He needs to know that I'm his mate!"I was about to leave Iñigo's room when suddenly he
Annie's POV "Do you really have to believe her, Am?" Hannah asked, a little displeased at how I finally packed my things for good.I was folding my clothes in the sack bag while hearing her sentiments. "This is the right thing to do, Hannah. I'm in no position to stay here. After all, I'm a cast out. I don't belong in Prima Tierra. I have known that for too long," I coldly said."But what about your memories? Don't you wanna know about it? Don't you wanna bring back your memories while you're in this place?"I sighed and stopped working on my clothes. "Just leave me alone, Hannah. You, of all people, should have helped me get back my memories. But now that I'm in this situation, I think it's best to just go back to Froster Pack.""You can't!""And why not? Where do you want me to go then? Go rogue and become wolves' number one enemy?" I shook my head at her and wryly smiled. "I'd rather just get punished and be a slave for the rest of my life.""What about King Iram? You love him, do
Iram's POVI immediately left my rendezvous while clenching my jaw. I balled my fists and grunted under my breath.I must be a madman.How could I stall with Alpha Trace's mate instead of acknowledging my new human mate?"Iram, are you this mad that you don't care about your life anymore? Are you willing to go this far and waste your father's plans for the whole of Europe?" Ultor asked in rage. He was as disappointed as me. "You can't let your life put to waste!""What's the use of living my life? I've made many enemies. We lost Amarantha. There's nothing more that I could lose..." I lowered my head and heaved a sigh.I am more than willing to give up this life. After all, my purpose is duly served. To take the whole of Europe and make werewolves gain respect from the world. The world already feared us. We are already revered as the most powerful creature in this world. What more can I do? If the Moon Goddess wishes to dispose of me, then I am more than glad to take up her punishment.
Iram's POV"A-Amarantha?"The woman smirked and snarled at me. "I am not Amarantha, you treacherous mate!""Treacherous mate? How dare you call me that!""I have all the right to call you that. Because of you, Amarantha is dead!" Tears streamed down her face. Rage enveloped her eyes. "You killed her!""So, you're not Amarantha?"She chuckled. "Of course, I am not her! Amarantha is purely human while I am a werewolf. You saw me shift. You should have known by now.""But your face... How is this possible?""I don't have time to argue with that. I am here for Amarantha's soul. Where did you take her?""Soul? I'm not following this. What are you saying? Amarantha is dead, isn't she? Why are you looking for her soul? She must be with the Moon Goddess or with her Lord!""I was told that her soul is somewhere inside this pack. I could feel her energy near around here. I am here to take her with me. And I vow to never set foot in this pack and protect her from you!"I clenched my jaw at her w
Iram's POV I got out, distressed at how things got out of hand.I massaged my temples and sighed.What am I going to do with her? That face... she may seem to resemble her strikingly but it doesn't mean she is actually the woman I once loved. I should get rid of her. That's how it should be.If she is indeed her twin, then I should let go of her. I should not associate with her anymore. That painful death should have been enough to punish me like this. Why did someone that looks like her have to appear in front of me again?I found myself walking a familiar path. I did not intend to come here since I wanted to be alone, but with her face haunting me like this, it makes me want to have warmth enough to defeat the coldness I am feeling.I looked up at Annie Thompson's door. I was about to knock when suddenly, a chambermaid came."My King! My King, Madame Annie just left. Her room is empty," she informed me thoughtfully. "Did she not see you before she go?"I looked at her in confusion.
