Lang Zhen explained that there was a mountain, next to the Fucheng City of Xiyin, and it was easier to carve a stone.

In the beginning the stone appeared worthless and of low quality. Moreover, the mountain was unrestricted and anyone could come and take as many stones as they wanted.

However, sometimes later, a few warriors came from nowhere and used to practise Martial arts on the mountain. They observed the stones carefully and began carving artefacts from the stone because it was hard in strength and exquisite to eyes. He gave an example, that the pair of stone balls Feng Jun bought along with him, Lang Zhen believed that they were polished by those warriors of times when they got bored.

Some of them learned to polish the stones or carved artefacts because the polished items were appealing, and the warriors could sell them to subsidise their households to support themselves financially.

    Ivory's PovMy entire world shot up when my mate, my former mate, Alpha Raymond attacked me in the dungeons. I don't know what got into my mind that I acted reckless and out of line. It cost many lives and it was my fault. I was laying on the ground, bleeding and probably, I would lose my baby too. That bastard Alpha didn't care about his own heir. "Ivory!!! God!! No!!!" I heard a voice from a distance.My bones got several fractures and my wolf spirit took a lot to heal them. Suddenly, a pair of warm hands wrapped around me and carried from the ground where the trails of my blood followed, dripping like a fountain."Oh no!!! She is hurt, we need to take her to the infirmary." A feminine voice lingered but fading to my ears."We need to do it now. Find more survivors under the ruins of the dungeons. Can't believe a single wolf was able to do this much damage." It was Lance! His voice I remembered."Lance!!" My lips parted and a moan escaped through them."Relax, Ivory! I will take yo

    Ivory's povThe beeping sound of the machine was heard clearly while I laid on the hospital's bed, semi conscious but aware of the noises around me. My heart beats were random and normal but I felt being wrapped with bandages. My lower body felt too heavy but my head felt light.Precisely, I opened my eyes to the lights and for a second, they blinded me. A gasp escaped from my lips as I tried to leave the bed. My body, indeed, was covered with multiple bandages. I regained consciousness but it made me sick and I convulsed back on the body. Vomit and blood was all over me and suddenly, a nurse came rushing to my room, inspected me and went to call an authoritative doctor. Soon, the doors were opened and a team of doctors arrived in the hospital room. The nurse cleaned me while the doctors performed a few clinical tests to check me. "Miss Brook, you are fine to leave the hospital now." The doctor stated before unwrapping my bandages."Am I? Wasn't I almost dead?" I asked him because I

The biggest mistake I had ever made.Worse, I didn't inform anyone where I headed, now that even if there would be a search team out for me, there was a Fat chance they would ever find me here. Even if I had left a trail, their ruthless creatures had diminished them. Now, I was all on my own.Behind the dark was the door creaked open and a slight light entered the room. A silhouette of a figure stood at the doorstep and I knew who it was, yet I kept my head low and pretended not to give him any of my attention."If you are tired from

You are a sweet little girl and It was too difficult for me to take advantage of you but, It was necessary." She gave her explanation like shit."You want me to believe it?" I wiped my tears while glaring at her."No… It was all part of the plan." She stated while taking a seat next to Oliver.My gaze was fixed on them and I never felt more humiliated, devastated and helpless in my life. The woman who gave me a purpose to live and made me an excellent warrior was the person of my hatred."Why did you do that? I mean, you could have kill me you had the fucking chance. Why didn't you make that effort?" I was scared of her."There is no pain bigger than betrayal, darling!" She wasn't regretful of any of her actions, "like i said, it was necessary!!!

    Lance's pov Winter arrived earlier this year and it was only an obstacle in my Orfilia. Her father, Beta Jaden accompanied me in this search with his team. He too wanted to find his daughter and bring her back safely. Why did they let her go in the first place? I don't know in what situation she would have been. Did she reach the tribal village or not? There were many doubts that rang in my head but my heart won't answer any. My wolf was agitated since my mate had left the pack, somehow, I felt that she was in danger."We walked a long journey to the tribal village yet there is no sign of it." Said Jaden, in a husky voice."Is there really a tribal village? If yes, then they have mastered the art of being vigilant." I commented while peeking through every spot."I'm afraid, it is. That woman with Orfilia, what was her name? Yeah! Katana! She is the tribal village's chief leader. Sort of a mentor to her as she polished Orfilia's skills. But something about here seemed too obvious."

    Lance’s PovMy entire world shook up when Ivory informed us that it was Oliver who was the Alpha instead of Raymond. But how the fuck did she knew that? “What? No! It cannot be possible! I was there, in the pack when it was my mission to kidnap the alpha damien’s daughter and i saw raymond giving all the orders to his men. Oliver was just a pawn to him.” i stated what i saw and believed.“You claimed what you saw but it was a pretentious reality that they faked so well, it actually gave me a mindfuck too… to be honest, I find out in the dungeons when I went to meet mother Aria secretly. It wasn’t like he himself revealed that he is the alpha but Aria spilled it indirectly. She mentioned about a friend coming here to help her when she wanted to escape from the dungeons. She told me that Oliver is her friend’s mate but she never took her name in front of me. During her conversation, she revealed that it was Oliver who actually planned the kidnapping but when he found out that it was me

    Lance's povNow that the shelter has been destroyed by Ivory’s fire. I was more concerned about spending the night in the dark. Jaden and I would have managed something but now with a pregnant she-wolf along with us, it would going to be a long night. The journey to the village won't be a piece of cake, since we had been under attack several times since then. It was hard to depict where that village could be. It made sense why nobody was able to find it before, they kept it invisible by enchantments that repelled wrong comers. Or maybe, it was meant to be hidden. That was a long story but currently, but we found a place to spend the night. One by one, Jaden and I were on watch and our sleep schedule was disturbed badly, affecting our wolf abilities. My head was throbbing, so I popped a medicine from the first air box and begin the search at the dawn. Ivory was gentle and nice, from what I saw the kind of her personality, it was quite awkward to be around her back than. Did the incid

As I run barefoot through the corridors, but only to find out that I was in the infirmary, as I recall the place. I feel air passing into my lungs as I breathe in relief, but it confuses me to the core reasoning why I was in infirmary.Suddenly, I hear random and loud footsteps approaching me and I become alert and turn to look toward the footsteps. I notice a few of the healers and Daphne approaching me. My vision blurs and I feel my throat getting dry with every breath I take. My chest burns and I cough frequently. Something is not right? Why the hell I get in here? As I remember last night, I was partying with Lucian and others.The healer approaches me and helps me to breathe properly, “your majesty! Please come inside. You are wea

    Orfilia's pov Once the celebration was over, I went straight to my room and called Lance because We both need to talk about this major decision I was about to take. He observed the anxiety and palpitations so he didn't let it get over and followed me to the room. When we reached, he put my hands in his and pulled me closer. Before I knew, he already had his lips on mine and we both moved in synchronisation. I didn't wanted to interrupt either so I moved with the flow and we both land on the bed, undressed each other and made love to each other. It was the best sex and he made me realise that what a worthy mate he was. I wished I could stay like that but I was lacking time since the noon was over and soon the sun will hide under the sky. "So, what are you thinking now?" Lance asked me. "I am thinking about you, us." I stated. "No! I mean, for future." He added. "Yeah! That's why I called you. I know I might sound childish but I don't want to stay here." I looked with a puppy face

They applauded loudly and nothing seemed better than that, but, When my eyes met with Alpha Damien's, he was sad and upset about my decision. I would take long to make him understand that i never wanted to be the Alpha of this pack. Maybe, if things from the starting were different, I could be the Alpha but my spirit seek something meaningful and adventure. Lady Nymeria would be waiting for me and I had to leave this pack today. "But why? If I wanted to make her an Alpha, I would have asked her." Damien slammed his palms on the glass table, cracking it from the middle. We were in his study and the atmosphere was high and dramatic. "Why not? She is your daughter too and you said you wanted to see your daughter leading this pack, so what makes a difference if It's her, not me!" I stated while looking at him. "She is not you!!" He gritted his teeth. "Still makes no sense to me. If

    Orfilia's pov After getting an approval from Alpha Damien, I was sure that I would bring the worthy candidate to be an Alpha of the pack. However, the time limit was short but atleast, I knew what I had to do. When I left the room, I bumped into Ivory and behind her were her daughters in the baby cart. She smiled widely at me. "Orfilia! You seem to be in a hurry. I know you have a coronation today but can you spare a moment for me." She made a request. "Of course, is everything alright?" I got worried when she called me to stay for a while. Even when I had limited time to find a worthy candidate, I couldn't deny her request. She escorted me out from the pack house while her daughters were taken to Alpha Damien's room. I wondered if Ivory was fine because I could read from her face that she wasn't feeling good. Her face was glowing under the warmth of the sun. "You haven't answered me." I asked her. "Yeah! I was occupied with thoughts. I have been awake the entire night. No matt

  • Beta's Magical Mate   The Dilemma

    The night passed with tension lingering within the pack which was under the fog and the mist while they were playing like small children. The moon was bright and confident, however, the appearances might be deceiving. Even if the security had been increased around the boundaries and inside the pack, I was still anxious and palpating under the edge of a knife. I couldn’t sleep with peace as it kept me agitated all night long. The thoughts of becoming the Alpha of this pack was shaking me up. I did agree to Alpha Damien's demand only because I cannot make him feel depressed due to his conditions but this 'Becoming an Alpha' thought was keeping me at bay. I was alone in my room when I heard a knock and saw Lance entering. A smile flashed on his face and I gave him a slight smile too. "What's wrong? You seem worried." He spotted. "I am in a dilemma." I started with a low tone. "What dilemma? Is everything alright? I know that Alpha Damien had talked to you about something serious and e

    With the morning dew glory at dawn and wet paws ahead of time, We saw the restricted boundaries of the Crystal moon pack in front of us. I breathed silently and felt secure to see my home, again but this feeling that I couldn't shrug off was eating me up. Since I had heard the news of Alpha Damien's fight for his life, I began believing in keeping the relationships at priority over anything else. I was his biological daughter but I never looked upon him as a father, although he was a father figure to me but he was not my dad. The man beside me raised me was the one I would call my dad. We shifted back into our human form and proceeded to enter the pack's territory. The guards bowed to us and Beta Male interacted with them to gather some information. He informed us that Alpha Damien's health had deteriorated since they had left looking for me. It broke my heart a little but Ivory was shattered. She was going to lose her last family member. "We shouldn't wait anymore." I nodded my

    Orfilia's pov The cold air swept over my face but the hot sweat beads on my forehead dripped down to my cheekbones. Despite the lower temperature, the cottage was burning in tension. The surface broke with a loud noise which lingered inside my head. I was standing rooted to the place because the shock I just received was too much to bear. I tried hard not to show how scared i was but those enemies had made up their mind and attacked us. I tripped and fell down but got to save my two wolves protecting me behind my back. "Lance, dad? How did you get here?" I was too stunned to speak. "Leave that for later. We need to save Ivory. Alone, she cannot handle that witch's power and I am afraid she will die. "Let's go and save her.." Rella was excited as hell. They offered me some weapons to kill the creatures creeping form the darkness and we begin fighting them, making our way to Ivory and save her before that Witch would hurt her Rashak with his weapon took down one of them but it wa

    Orfilia's povAs the dawn appeared out of the horizon, I watched the first ray of sun falling on the white snow and reflecting the sparkles like a fresh cut diamond. The moment was breathtaking and it made me forget the pain coursing through my body.The wounds haven't healed and the bruises are sore. As i tried to get up along with the surroundings, i realised that i am lying on a cot which is placed outside from a temple. Although, the ceiling was covering me from the morning dew but the chills did got me shudder my spine in shiver.As I tried to get up, I convulsed and threw up at another moment. I was exhausted and helplessly laid down back on the cot. The vision was getting blurred and the sense faded but I heard the faint footsteps approaching me.I wanted to get up and fight if someone was trying to take advantage of me. These past couple of days, bizarre things are happening with me. I can’t even relate if they're real or a mere hallucination, or I was just having an inceptio

The ears are full of silent screams of the people who left behind after the wars.The dense fog is covering the battlefield and the tiny droplets are freezing on the eyelashes. I am feeling anxious and helpless, even when the whole thing is standing with me. It begins the inevitable and there is no turning back to it.The collapsing of the icebergs in the blue ocean reminded me of the collapse world of ours, fascinating and disturbing at the same time. Time had the power to manipulate everything but we, the pawns of destiny, had no control over this time, though we could fight our way to lead a battle or a life, it won’t be enough to control the time in hands.
