Chapter 74; A gift for my brother!Just a few hours before dawn, Megan was still by her bedside. She had waited all day and night for the kids to wake up but they were still in deep sleep. Suddenly, there was a loud explosion and the ground started shaking. Shocked, Megan stood up and looked out through the window. The whole island was shaking and water was invading it. In the past, no matter how high the tide was, the water surrounding KuLaa island would always land on the invisible seal as if it was landing on air, before going back into the sea. Water has never invaded KuLaa island before. The seal has been broken. What sort of storm is this? Megan wondered. She looked at her kids who were still sleeping and was confused for a moment. What should I do? Just then, the door opened and Bella stepped inside. "Megan, we need to leave now," Bella screamed in panic." What is going on?" Megan asked. "I don't know. The Seal got broken. I think it's because Alice wasn't guarding i
Chapter 75: Ascension!Gradually, the two tubes opened up and started moving towards each other. They then joined together to form a cage. KuLaa and Fie looked at each other. In Fie's eyes, she could see hatred and hunger. They mirrored her own feelings and thoughts. This was when she realized the reason why they were left in that yellow water for so long. Their magical energy was sapped away by that water. KuLaa felt very weak.The only way to devour another was to drain their blood and eat their heart. How was she going to do that when she was this weak?"You!" Fie softly called out with a weak and raspy voice. It felt like pain. Unbothered, KuLaa turned to the several elders watching from outside. They had promised to let her devour the girl but now they want her to fight?Understanding the look, Bella's father stepped forward and said, "She is too weak. Just kill her."KuLaa nodded and approached Fie' She expected Fie to retreat or even attack but the girl just stood there,
CHAPTER ONEOdd One Out Megan had always felt like a misfit in her pack. Despite her efforts to fit in and be like everyone else, there was always a sense of disconnection between her and the other wolves, so it wasn’t unusual that she felt awkward as she stepped into the hallway of Wolfgang University, she clutched her books closer to her chest, eyes down so she didn’t have to make contact with anyone, as there was the usual whispering and sniggering from one or two people whenever she came into a room.“There goes the freak”, whispered a blond-haired Beta to his friends who laughed in response. She just wanted to hurry into her lecture room, where she felt safe. She had just stretched out her hand to turn the door knob when someone brushed passed her roughly, upsetting her books, and scattering them all over the floor.“Oops! Watch where you are going”, a female voice said saucily. Megan didn’t have to look to see who the voice belonged to. It was Elvira, the most popular werewo
Chapter 2FINDING A MATETop of FormMegan had longed for a mate for as long as the time that it is usual for young werewolves to find their mates. Her pack mates and family who were not already mated were finding theirs by the day.“Take your mind off it and you will find your mate”, her cousin Sandra had told her when the topic had come up between them during Sandra’s visit last fall, and Megan had expressed her concern on the matter.“I promise you will know when it happens. It’s like magic” Sandra had said basking in the reverie of when she had found her own Jack.And like magic, it was, the day Megan found her mate.Megan had thrown herself into trying to improve her abilities and skills; her training and hunting. Even then she always felt like something was missing; a sense of connection; a bond that would make her feel like she belonged.It was during one of her trainings one evening that Megan experienced something that would change her life and her perspective on things forev
Chapter 3What will I do?Weeks after that kiss, Megan approached her father in his study. Oliver, Megan's father and one of the Betas following Lucas, who was Jake's father and the Alpha of their pack, — had just returned home after a long time. The moment he returned, he had busied himself with his estate work. This would help him update on what has been going on while he was away and what he needed to put in place before leaving again. Megan had given him three days to settle in. In those three days, she also did her best to build up her courage. “Come in.” A deep, distracted voice called out from inside the study after Megan's soft, dainty knocks.Megan slowly pushed the heavy wooden door inward as she observed the inside of the study. Oliver, at 6'4 (ca. 2 m), was one of the tallest humans and one of the biggest wolves in the Blue-Mist wolf pack. He was rivaled only by Lucas, the pack's true Alpha. For years, Megan, who was the last born with four other siblings, would come to
Chapter 4 Wait till after Winter “Megan…”“Dad, listen to me first.” Megan quickly interrupted her father. It was either she gets it out or the words she wanted to say stays stuck in her throat forever, never seeing the daylight. “I know you are going about offering wolves from other packs, everything we have as dowry. I also know that you are not successful yet. Dad, I want you to stop doing this.” Oliver was dazed. How did she know? Who told her? But if he took the time to think about it, someone spread the news about her situation. It shouldn't be surprising if that same person was the one who told her, right? Oliver's eyes twisted with a deep hatred filled with malicious intent. “Who told you this?” He groaned. Megan shivered at the look in her father's eyes. She decided to leave her father's lap. “Dad…i, why are you so angry all of a sudden” she snorted as her eyes became teary all of a sudden. “I… I am sorry. I am not angry. Don't cry.” Oliver quickly grabbed his dau
A wedding December, the season that gave Blue-Mist its name. Winter was very much underway and instead of the common white fog you will see in every other place, there was blue mist. The mist appears like a flimsy barrier that you can only see but cannot touch. It pervaded the entire region where Blue-Mist pack is located. Thanks to having this mist instead of fogs, werewolves in this region get to move around freely more than in any other place. For werewolves, Winter is a season filled with social activities and leisure. In each Region of the realm, there are countless packs. In the region where Blue-Mist is located, they have 20 major packs. These packs are strong and large, and they occupy large territories. Blue-Mist is one of such packs. Then there are also packs that are not so large and also small and weak packs. The small and weak ones are usually units from the big ones that set out to occupy new territories, far away from home, either because their original home is becom
Chapter 6: A Wedding (2)Werewolves don't essentially need weddings. Once a wolf meets its mate, and they acknowledge each other, then they are a couple. During the once in three years' Purple festival, where all wolves return from wherever they stay to come thank the Moon mother for her blessings, all the couples that are formed before the festival will be presented before the Moon mother for her blessings on the same day. Therefore, the winter weddings are for those wolves who couldn't find their fated mates. It is believed that once the pack accepts their union, the Moon mother will also accept it. After these weddings, during the Purple festivals, these newly wedded will also join the fated couples to present themselves to the Moon mother at the shrines all over the realm. The wedding is a basic occasion. After everyone had arrived, the two wolves presented themselves to the pack's shaman, who then said some incarnations before using a red rope to join them. Thereafter, they kiss

Chapter 73: A Stranger In a Black CloakKurt finally calmed down and KuLaa removed the net from him. She held him in her hands and quietly made him go to sleep as the Baril police arrived and encircled her. The leading commander wanted to approach her but Jum stopped him."Stand down. I will handle this.""Yes, sir." The commander went back and Jum stood there, watching KuLaa as she took care of Kurt. Lao and Peruh walked over to him. "What's going on?" Peruh asked with a puzzled look. "Don't you think it's beautiful, yet pitiful? Look at what love reduced such a powerful witch to." Jum chuckled."Kurt is no easy fry either. And even more dangerous than you in his berserk mode. That was why I activated the net. I couldn't handle him alone." Lao pointed out. There was respect in his voice which annoyed Jum."Are you saying his berserk is more powerful than mine?" "Yes. We wouldn't have been able to handle them on our own if they had joined forces from the beginning."Peruh didn'
Chapter 72; Chaos on the street of Baril. It reached right into her soul, caressing it and trying to make her relax. Instantly realizing that she was being coaxed, KuLaa repelled the spell and glared at Jum."What do you think you are doing?" She groaned. "Not bad." Jum smiled and walked into the room proper. "My name is Jum and these are my friends, Lao and Peruh. We are from the house of Zote."KuLaa looked them over and her eyes blazed. She has not seen such arrogance in a long time. "I have never had dealings with anyone from the house of Zote. Why did you target my family?""You are wrong, Lord KuLaa of the house of Viedanise!" Jum smiled at her but KuLaa had already sensed the uncertainty in his tone.So he isn't sure of my identity. "What is the house of Viedanise?" She feigned confusion. Jum gave her a look over and his ever-present smile widened. Was he wrong? She didn't know?"The House of Viedanise is one of the five magical families of Eplica. And you, Lord KuLaa,
Chapter 71; Nobody Says 'No' to Jum!Once KuLaa left the room, Kurt brought out his phone. Since lines could only connect when they were in the same realm, finding out if his father was involved was very simple. Kurt turned on the phone and torrents of messages started dropping. And all of them were from his father. The only reason this would happen was because his father was also in Baril, just as KuLaa suspected. Why? Kurt's eyes darkened. Mulan hardly left Silver Crest in the past 50 years. Why now? Could KuLaa's suspicions be right? If Mulan was really in cohort with the house of Zote, then does that mean he was also just a lab rat for their experiments? He remembered all the failed experiments Adolph carried out on him. From trying to hitch magic into his bones, to having his beating heart separated from his body and kept in refined heartbloods gotten from other witches and wizards. He has lost count of how many times one organ or the other was removed or had half of a forei
Chapter 70; Walking into a Trap?Just like KuLaa expected, two days after her arrival, four dead bodies were found just a few blocks away from a brothel within the black market area of Baril. They were the members of the missing cell. When they were brought in for KuLaa's inspection, it was as if they were just sleeping and not dead. The moment she saw them, she knew this was the work of a powerful magician. The person had subjected them to vicious torture but the only telling tale was their darkened underfoot. They were so black and hard that a butcher's knife wouldn't be able to cut through without some effort. There was nothing on their bodies but when KuLaa checked their brains, she found three of them liquified while there was a message left in the skull of the cell leader. Whoever took Oliver wanted Ryan in exchange for him. "Hahahahahahahaha haha!" KuLaa's laughter vibrated through the underground lair. It was terrifying, yet inspiring. Every member of her crew silently
Chapter 69: Taken!The front door was left open and the sitting room was left in ruins. There were claw marks on the walls and some had even torn into some of the furniture. As the two boys looked around, their supernatural eyes surged out and they started sniffing the air. "Two wolves and a vampire." Grunted Saint. "Call Elder Mac!" Roy brought out his phone and started dialing Elder Mac's number but nobody picked up. "Blood!" Roy horrid over to a spot behind one of the chairs. There, he found a small red patch of blood on the ground. He touched it and smelled it. "It's Dad's!" His body grew cold and his eyes turned red with rage. "They hurt him." Saint hugged himself as he stared at the red spot of blood on Roy's fingers in horror. The image of Alaric getting torn to pieces flashed across his mind. His body trembled and he whimpered. When Roy looked up and saw Saint's state, he quickly pulled himself together and hurried over to comfort him. "Saint, he will be fine. You have
Chapter 68: Godly Treasure."So despicable," Ryan mumbled. "What is an immortal?" KuLaa asked. She already had an idea but preferred to get more explanation from Madam Su. She believed that Madam Su knew more than the texts she had read. In fact, most of what she had read and what Madam Su was saying were conflicting. "Immortal is a level of cultivation. Humans cultivate to become immortals and Immortals cultivate to become gods. Both immortals and Gods can't die of natural causes. Someone stronger than them is the only thing that can kill them."KuLaa nodded. "Because of the poison fed to everyone in this world by the house of Zote for hundreds of years, the genetics of the people have changed and the generations that followed kept getting weaker and weaker. It is only a matter of time before the creatures of this world die out or get refined by the Zotes unless someone stops them. Your father was the closest to a pure bloodline since the poisoning of the continent. When you wer
Chapter 67; The Origin of Eplica"So we are just a mutation of the two species," Ryan mumbled. "That's right." Madam Su nodded, then continued."Back then, magical beasts were the rulers of the world because when they were cultivated to a certain level, they would gain the ability to transform into a human form. Back then, among magical beasts, it was taboo to marry a human since they were considered to be lesser beings. The magical beasts didn't want their bloodline to be tainted. That was until the Moon Mother and our ancestor met and fell in love." Madam Su continued. "When the monarchs of the magical beasts found out that our ancestors were breeding Turakies in secret, the magical beasts decided to wipe us out. Fortunately, we were not alone in this. When our forefathers discovered the danger, they contacted the shapeshifters from other magical beast families such as dragons, snakes, tigers, and so on. They all joined hands together to beat the magic beasts back. That was w
