The memories of the past three days burned Asha’s cheeks, and she could not help but to bury her face on the soft bedding of the bed while savoring the sweetness and passion that she shared with Samel. Her movements caused the white quilt on her body to tilt to the side, and vague cherry marks could be seen on her fair white skin. There are a few on the side of her neck and down on her delicately carved collarbone.

We can’t afford to let the Blood Wolves Clan be wiped out without a single bloodline.” A rough but honest voice drilled into Asha Blood’s hazy mind and ears filled with the broken cries of her clansmen.She dazedly looked up to the worried and anxious face of Soran, her personal guard that has been following her since she was given the title of heir to be the next Priestess of their Blood Wolves clan.Asha’s bloodshot eyes blinked rapidly as beads of tears fell one after another on her pale cheeks.She is still rejecting the reality
Chapter 2: DeathThird Person’s POVAt the central part of the blessed land, in an open square surrounded by the burning buildings of the Blood Wolves clan, a group of men and women in luxurious attires stood in front a couple of heavily wounded individuals with indifference and greed blatantly showing in their noble and haughty faces.The king of the Artermia Kingdom, King Regor Ark stood at the helm of the group while looking down empathetically at the fallen warriors and Priestess of the Blood Wolves Clan.The feeling of exhilaration flowing in King Regor’s body could not be any more intoxicating as he smiled benevolently at the jade-like beauty of the Priestess in front of him.King Regor lifted his hand to pinch the Priestess’ chin as he used his other hand to caress her soft and silky black hair. It is as if he is caressing a treasure that he could not bear to part with.“Priestess Eva’s beauty could even
Death IIThird Person’s POVPriestess Eva’s bloodcurdling scream pierced through the darkened sky filled with smoke. And the escaping clansmen of the Blood Wolves clan shuddered in horror as they looked back to the central square.Indignation and hate clouded their visions, and their escaping figures did not hesitate to go back to where the scream is coming from while disregarding everything to fight to the death with their pursuers.They might fear the sickle of death, but they could not let anyone taint their clan’s honored Priestess without retaliation.The Blood Wolves clan’s population is only less than five hundred individuals, and half of them are the old that are long past their prime, and children that are still unable to defend themselves from adult soldier werewolves of the Royal Ark clan that has been polished to endure the cruelty of a battlefield.Discordant cries of unwillingness continued to ring in th
Death IIIThird Person’s POVThe moonless night allowed the darkness to deepen, and even shadows could not be seen to the scattered soldiers of the Royal Ark Clan that are now cleaning up the breathless bodies of the clansmen of the Blood Wolves clan.Each cold body of the children, women, elderly and the warriors are piled up like small hills at the central square where Priestess Eva’s body lays.The trail of blood and the burnt down buildings around the central square added to the gloom of the darkest night that have ever happened to the peaceful-loving Blood Wolves clan.The sounds of bodies scraping the ground seems more prominent as the blessed land quieted down with the last bouts of killings to those member of the Blood Wolves clan that have managed to escape to the edge of their lands but were unable to leave due to their intense loyalty.Soran curled down on the rough ground of the dark tunnel as he tried to clutch at th
Erased Third Person’s POV In a place far away from Artemia, inside a small room with only a small wick of candle as the source of light, a tall and noble-looking man stumbled as he supported his weight on the table next to him. An inaudible groan escaped the man’s thin lips that is turning paler by the second followed with his own complexion. A hint of confusion flickered on the pupils shining with the light of the candle in the dark as he seems to be clueless of what is happening to him. The feeling of weakness came over his entire body without any signs, and it almost swallowed his reasons as the pain that followed seems to be coming from the depths of his soul. It is similar to the feeling of death, but the man could not guess the reason of his body’s sudden strangeness as the weakness and pain also disappeared as quick as it came. At the flash of dawn, the chaos in the blessed lands of the Blood Wolves clan finally abated, but the

The fireworks in the sky continued to go off one after another, and the silver lights that exploded resembled the fall of a rain that sprinkled down gently on the entire garden of the city lord manor. The flute and the drum joined to create a mesmerizing melody that only sounds pleasant to the ears. Everything is so magical and magnificent that the young ladies that were invited to the

Samel glanced at the soldiers of the rebel army to help the other survivors of the Blood Wolves clan inside the manor. And he did not wait for Raval to report about the affairs that happened in the headquarters of the rebel army, because he is already striding towards Asha and Arkon’s direction. He stopped a few steps behind Asha and waited for the brother and sister to let go of each other.Asha has long felt the presence of her mate approaching from behind, and after letting her emotions calm down through the warmth that is coming from the embrace of her eldest brother, she gently let go and took a step backwards while smiling brightly at Arkon.

Mate CeremonyThird Person’s POVElish’s cries echoed in the still courtyard, and the two personal subordinates of crown prince Rogeus could only cower in the corner while looking at their master with worried looks. Even though they do not know what is happening, from the words of the young lady, their crown prince’s mate seems to be accusing him of murdering someone who is close to her. They have been following crown prince Rogeus since they were adolescents, and they are aware of the things he did to get the appreciation of the King. In the past, it might be about letting the wealth of the royal palace prosper, but this year, the king ordered their crown prince a lot of things that they could not pry into.

Truth IIIThird Person’s POVIt took Elish over two hours to stand up from the floor of her room. The sudden movement of her limbs caused the stiff muscles to creak with numbness as she swayed to the side and fell down without an ounce of strength. The force from falling on the wooden floor did not even arouse any expression on her face, and the pain seems to be negligible in contrast to the pain that is swarming in her chest.The content of the letter keeps on resounding in her mind without a pause, and the hatred and grief intermingled with no outlet for her to vent on. Although she knew that it is the work of the crown prince of the Artemia Kingdom, the advice of her uncle seems to have formed a chain on her ankles to stop her from moving past the moral bottom line that was taught to them in the village.Elish knows that her family and the rest of the clan members would not be able to rest in piece if they know that she stained her soul and hands with blood. The Jade clan has a

The ice worms in the prison cell that suddenly swarmed to King Regor did not waste any time to wriggle their chubby bodies to the only source of warmth in the room. With the ice glass and the metal wall confining them, they could only sense King Regor’s presence and not the presence of the four individuals that are watching through the ice glass door.It is the reason why the soldiers would not care much about the existence of the ice worm prison cells, because aside from sleeping all year round, the ice worms could only stay in the underground and could not touch any heat that comes from the sun or a fire. They desire for a source of warmth, but their bodies would whither the moment they felt the heat coming from any kinds of fire.This is the reason why the ice worms could only look for the warmth of the human body, and burro

Demise IIIThird Person’s POVThe capital city of the Artemia Kingdom is filled with liveliness due to the arrival of the envoys from the different forces across the land of Selestine. The hospitality of the royal palace is top notch, and no complaints could be heard from the guests, but most of them merely acted perfunctorily at the welcome banquet while screening for the answers that they need about the disappearance of King Regor. The prince from the Black Kingdom used a lot of gold to buy some information from the servants of the royal palace, and he sent a letter back to his royal father with satisfaction.
