Author's point of view...The smoke filled the air, one could clearly smell the stink of burning trees, grass and flesh.Adrian...! Is he in danger? Scarlett's heart panicked and it only got worse when she saw the figure emerging from the flames was not Adrian but Xian.No...not good...! This is not happening.With a calculated move, Xian darted towards her, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction. He was so happy to see Scarlett after a long search. His intentions were clear, to capture her and use her blood to gain powers."The pure divine bloodline..." he mumbled to himself. Other than the two sisters, only he knew Scarlett's real identity as the purest divine bloodline. He was getting crazy at the thought that he actually found her."Ha... I will be powerful... I will be immortal..." his voice was filled with excitement and an unspeakable desire.Scarlett's heart pounded in her chest as Alpha Xian closed in. She instinctively stepped back, her mind racing with fear and desperation. Sh
Author's point of view...Scarlett's heart lurched as she saw the blazing frame in front of her eyes. That man had a destructive aura around him. Despite being burnt, he was grinning meticulously. Scarlett didn't want to give him that satisfaction. She looked at Catherine, injured and weak. My sister...! Then her gaze shifted to the majestic yellow wolf behind her. Rona...! He was injured brutally to save her. She can't let them die. She can't. Scarlett stared out over the sheer sheer edge of darkness, resolve driving her every thought as she studied the intimidating landscape. The only way to save them all is to... Despite her rising panic, she knew she had to act swiftly to ensure everyone's survival. She mustered her hidden strength, her willpower, the very thing that had always been a part of her, by concentrating her attention exclusively on what was to be done."I have to do this..." she murmured to herself, "I have to finish this for one and all" She wasn't louder but
Scarlett's point of view...Shit...!I cursed for the hundredth time as I panicked. I made this bowl with the leaves available with great difficulty and to feed him the medicine, I had to puncture my finger.Hell...! It hurts.But when I tried to feed him, he spit it out.Idiot...!Does he think my blood is something that he can spit? Does he think that I have an ocean of blood in my veins?Damn...! I wouldn't have bothered saving him if not for Victoria nagging in my mind all this time.Agh...! I was annoyed.As I had no other option, I filled my mouth with that bitter medicine and fed him. Once he swallowed the medicine in, I took a breath of relief. In order to let him drink all the remaining medicine, I had to feed it with my mouth thrice. Though he was unconscious, I still felt it awkward to touch him and his lips. As I finished feeding him the third time, I was about to move away from him but suddenly, he caught my lower lip tightly. He began nibbling my lips, grabbed my wais
Author's point of vew... After one day of rest, Adrian jerked awake, gasping for air, struggling to move but gripped with unease. When the realization hit him, he was drenched with sweat. His disorientation alleviated, and he saw that he was lying on the bed in the palace. His head was pounding with a terrible headache as if it was some hangover. Last night's memories flashed in his mind. The girl... His mate, he was so close to her again. Just as he was about to touch her, someone sprayed something on him. His heart skipped a beat. A low growl escaped his chest but at the same time, a smile was dancing on his lips when some flashes made their way to his mind. His hand unknowingly strode to his lips. He recalled the time when he regained his consciousness as something so soft pressed against his lips. It was her...! He remembered looking into her eyes, the same sapphire blue eyes. His mate. Though he didn't exactly know how her eye color changed, deep down in his hear
Author's point of view... Grabbing her hand, Adrian pressed Scarlett against the wall behind her. Scarlett quivered. He was so close to her. No matter how hard she tried, she could not control her emotions. He was melting her softly. Her heart fluttered and she stared at him. Finally, after fighting a battle against her own heart, she stuttered. "Y....Your Highness...Please show some respect." With her arms folded over her body, Scarlett turned her head away indifferently. But Adrian was not in the mood to back out. Instead of taking a step back, he bent even further, pressing his face deep into her hair, till it brushed against his face. As if mesmerized by that fragrance, he inhaled the zesty aroma of her shampoo. He hit the wall with his fist controlling the urge to press his lips on that of hers. As Scarlett noticed him, she tensed up, embracing her trembling body with her arms. She was so nervous that she was unable to come up with a plan to avoid him. The way he ben
Author's point of view... Scarlett stared at the man coldly. He said those words so casually. Though she wasn't mated, she wasn't a fool either. She knew very well about what it is called to be marked by the mate. And she also knew that he was actually just bluffing around. While they were down the cliff, she saw him injured so badly. He was barely breathing, let alone marking her. After taking a moment to analyze his words, Scarlett raised her eyes and a bitter smirk tugged on her lips. "Oh...! Is that so, Your Highness? Then it's a very good thing" she retorted very openly. His gaze turned cold, he gritted inside his clenched jaw but didn't say anything. "I wish to meet that fortunate girl you are talking about" she added pretending so joyful. Adrian felt a knot tighten in his stomach. This girl is so brave. Brave enough to challenge him head-on. Fine, if she wanted to act clever, he would only help her by coming up with some other means. "Of course, when I fin
Scarlett's point of view... When he said that he needed me to treat someone, I was sure it had to be Catherine and I was more than willing to go with him. I was so much in a hurry to see Catherine that I even agreed to ride a horse with him. When we finally reached the palace, he led me inside the palace instead of taking me to the dungeon. A flicker of doubt started blooming inside me. It wasn't possible that Catherine was kept inside the palace like a guest, was she? We walked all the way towards the third floor. The flashes of that disgusting night's memory run wild inside my mind. I gulped down nervously. I followed him silently despite being at unease. But when he turned towards the special chambers, I stopped. Those were meant only for the royal guests to stay. They couldn't keep Catherine in those chambers. It was then that I realized that I was tricked by him to follow. "Where are you taking me?" I asked halting my steps. Prince Adrian turned around and his e
Author's point of view... After treating Aiden, Scarlett turned to Adrian and asked hesitatingly, "Prince Adrian, now that I have treated Prince Aiden, I want you to fulfil one of my requests" Adrian chuckled, he already guessed what request she was about to make. "Okay, ask whatever you want to ask" Scarlett cleared her throat and hesitatingly stepped forward, at first she wanted to ask him to give her the captive that he had captured that day on the cliff. But it seemed inconceivable that he would consent to it, therefore she was unable to ask. She won't be able to save her sister but in return, her identity will be exposed too. Heaving a sigh, she controlled her desire and asked for an audience with the captive instead. "I just want to see that captive and ask her about the pill they had made earlier..." A hideous smirk tugged on Adrian's face but he successfully concealed it. Aiden, however, was not pleased with that suggestion. "What a ridiculous request!
Author's point of view... The great palace of Panoma was adorned in splendour, its ancient walls draped with banners of gold and crimson, the colours of the royal family. The air buzzed with excitement as throngs of citizens from all corners of the kingdom gathered to witness the most significant event in decades, the three royal weddings. The atmosphere was electric, filled with joy and anticipation as the people came to bless the divine couples who would lead their kingdom into a new era. Adrian stood at the edge of the grand courtyard, watching as Aiden, Aaron, and their brides stood before the High Priestess, who presided over the ceremonies. Aiden, looked regal in his ceremonial attire, though there was a tension in his shoulders that only his brothers could see. Aaron, beside him, had an expression of quiet contentment, his eyes never straying far from Catherine, who stood gracefully by his side. The bond between them was palpable, a living testament to the power of
Author's point of view... The next day morning, Adrian received an invitation from his father. He gently informed Scarlett that they needed to attend a royal wedding at the palace. He was deliberately vague, not wanting to burden her with more information than necessary as he didn't know what exactly was happening at the palace. Perhaps selfishly avoiding the conversation that he knew might hurt her. She might not take it easy if he told her that Catherine was going to get married to his brother, the one who was insane a day before. Adrian hesitated. Scarlett, however, was already bracing herself for the worst. She heard the rumours from the members of the packhouse. The rumours said that after reaching the capital, Princess Alina would be married to Prince Adrian and deep down, she was certain that the wedding in question was Adrian’s. After all, who else but the future Alpha would be marrying Princess Alina? The thought of being a mere mistress to a married man filled her w
Author's point of view... When Scarlett woke up after a few hours, she found a familiar young boy standing at the door. Van stood in silence and was staring at her in disbelief. He looked shocked, surprised and bewildered at the same time. He heard that the little girl he met at the packhouse was Adrian's mate, it was already something that he couldn't believe. But when Dan told him that she was all grown up, Van laughed at him. He never in his dreams had ever imagined that she would be grown up so fast. After staring at her for a while, he snapped out of the maze as Scarlett threw a pillow on his face. "Weirdo...!" she shouted, "Take me to the packhouse" she demanded. Van was speechless. He nodded and escorted her to the penthouse instead of the packhouse as Adrian commanded him. He left her behind and reported it to Adrian . As everything was under control, Adrian arranged a place for Catherine to stay and left the packhouse under Dan's responsibility. Scarlet
Author's point of view... The moment Catherine stepped inside the pack house, a shift in the air was palpable. Aaron, who had been subdued and restrained, suddenly began thrashing against his bindings, his once lifeless eyes now burning with a wild intensity. His growls echoed through the halls, and it took several pack members, including Adrian’s younger brother Aiden, to hold him down long enough to tie him securely to his bed. Adrian, still reeling from the guilt of bringing Catherine here, was alarmed at Aaron’s sudden change. The witch doctor seemed unfazed, though, his focus solely on the task at hand. He ushered Catherine down the dimly lit corridor toward the chamber where the ritual was to take place. “I assure you,” the witch doctor murmured, his voice laced with a strange excitement, “this will only take a moment, and then we will know for certain the extent of your abilities.” Catherine nodded, trying to steady her nerves. She had agreed to help, convinced that
Author's point of view... Getting back to his apartment, Adrian entered his penthouse quietly, his mind heavy with the choices he had to make. The dim lighting cast long shadows across the walls, and the usually comforting silence felt suffocating. He glanced around the room, his eyes falling on Scarlett, who had fallen asleep on the couch in the hall instead of her room. Her petite frame was curled up, her chest rising and falling gently with each breath. For a moment, Adrian just stood there, watching her sleep. The innocence on her face, the peacefulness in her expression, it was a stark contrast to the turmoil raging inside him. He approached her slowly, his footsteps barely making a sound against the floor. As he got closer, the weight of his decisions pressed down on him even more. He knelt beside the couch, gently touched her hair, tucking them behind her ear. She looked so beautiful and his heart skipped a beat. "Will you hate me even more, tomorrow?" he mumbled to
Author's point of view... Adrian’s mind raced as he watched his father’s retreating figure. They were going towards the hidden wing, the place where Aaron was kept. The ultimatum hung over him like a death sentence, but it was the realization of what he had to do next that filled him with dread. His father’s fury was undeniable, and the witch doctor’s presence was a stark reminder of how serious the situation had become. There was no time left for half-measures or secret plans. Adrian clenched his fists, trying to push away the guilt that gnawed at him. He had vowed to protect Scarlett, to keep her safe from the dangers that came with her bloodline. The divine blood that flowed through her veins was not just rare, it was sacred, a gift and a curse in equal measure. Revealing it would paint a target on her back, one that he knew would bring nothing but danger. But as he sensed the impending doom hanging over his brother, he realized he had no choice. “Father, wait!” Ad
Author's point of view... Once they were gone, Adrian asked the other warriors about what had happened there. They told him that Rona was there to check on Aaron and asked them to open his handcuffs when suddenly Aaron took a glass bottle and broke it on Rona's head. Taking the broken glass pieces, Aaron instantly stabbed Rona in his gut. It was all so sudden that no one could react to it, and unfortunately, Rona was wounded so brutally. Adrian felt bad for Rona. Rona was just trying to help him and now he was injured so badly. Adrian went to the hospital and knelt beside Rona's bed, gently lifting his eyes, he said in an apologetic tone. “I’m sorry,” he whispered, though he wasn’t sure why he was apologizing to Rona, was that because Rona got injured or was that because Adrian was going to do something? “We’ll get you help,” Adrian continued, his voice stronger now. “You’ll be okay, Rona. Just rest here. Everything will be fine" Adrian instructed Elena to take good care o
Author's point of view... Adrian arrived at the pack house and found it in disarray. His heart thumped as he thought about what might have happened. Bitter memories of the past flashed before him. A year ago, he narrowly rescued his elder brother from the royal shooters as they were about to kill him on the king's orders. At that time, Aaron lost control and started killing people, whoever approached him, in the palace. Their father was so terrified that he didn't hesitate to order his men to kill his own son. But Adrian could not see his brother get killed and risked his life to save Aaron and brought him to his packhouse. The view today was similar and his heart sank when he saw traces of blood in his way. Did Aaron got insane again? Faces all around him, had worried expressions. There was none of the normal tranquility. He saw that some of the people in his pack were trembling with fright. Adrian sighed. It was precisely this that he was desperate to avoid. To ensu
Scarlett inhaled deeply. This conversation was going towards something else. Did he bring her back only to confront her? "Why did you bring me here?" she cut him off as she could no longer bear it in anymore; her voice was stern but barely above a whisper. Adrian turned to face her again, his expression unreadable. If he could have expressed himself, he would have already lifted her while kissing her aggressively, proving his longing for her but...! He can't do that. "Because I need to protect you, Scarlett. I can't let you out of my sight." he thought in his mind. However, the words that came out of his mouth said something else, "What do you think?" Scarlett pursed her lips and hung her head. Her palm started sweating profusely. "Damn this man...! Why is he talking in that way? It isn't helping at all." she muttered under her breath. There were many things going on in her mind. She was his mate and she could sense the pull he had been experiencing all these days. H
