Return IIThird Person’s POVThe bright rays of sunlight pierced through the fog enshrouding the twin valleys, giving off a gentle warmth that pushed away the chilling coldness of the north king mountain. The night passed with Samel going to General Markus to discuss Asha’s intention to shorten the time of preparation to go back to the Blood Wolves clan’s blessed land, and after hearing that they obtained the moon crystal and is planning to use it to revive his other half, General Markus hastily agreed, and he even want to set off at that moment.General Markus’ second-in-command, Jared appeased his general to calm down at seeing the former’s agitated expression coupled with the chaotic leak of aura that almost ruined the room. Jared could not understand the feelings of his general, but having been following the other party for years, he also knows how much General Markus desires for the arrival of his fated mate. After all, the years of fighting in the battlefield has been w
Return IIIThird Person’s POVThree days passed quickly on the road, and the small envoy of Samel, Asha and the others is only a couple of hours away from the border territory of the Black Kingdom. The group encountered a flock of wild jackals that are over two meters long, and the twelve guards of the city lord’s manor with Captain Ross’ lead slaughtered the attackers within half an hour.They carefully avoided the carriages and spare steeds while engaging in a passive fight with the wild jackals, but they immediately got into the offensive after making sure that the commotion of their battle would not lean towards the envoy.It is very troublesome for a carriage to be broken in the midst of travels, and it will probably take them a lot of them to repair it which is counterproductive as they are hurrying to go to the Blood Wolves clan’s blessed land in fear that the Royal Ark clan would send someone inside it and discover the intact bodies of the Blood Wolves clan’s members that
AbductionThird Person’s POVThere are exactly nine werewolves in the small courtyard, and all of them have varying degrees of black marks like rotting flesh on some parts of their bodies. A two-meter tall man at the center of the group took off the hood covering half of his face, and his scarred face in addition to the malicious glint in his eyes appeared gloomy under the filtered lights of the moon.The centipede-like scar covering the right side of his cheeks and crawling over to his brows and forehead bulged slightly as he sweeps his gaze around his comrades. “There are over twenty werewolves in that small envoy, and I smelled the scent of a she-wolf in them.”As the captain of this group, scar-face is a werewolf with a special ability, and his sense of smell could cover a thousand meters around his position. It is easy for him to spy against Samel’s group. And he only needs to focus and expand more effort in order to lift the erased scents that could not be smelled by regular
Abduction IIThird Person’s POVThe two guards from Samel’s envoy thanked the honest-looking man before carrying the four baskets of food to the shed where the other guards are resting. Seeing the sumptuous and warm meal, the guards cheered as they divided the food to each other. The fragrant smell of meat and fish soup relieved the guards of their tiredness for the almost nonstop ride on their horses.“The lord is still generous in feeding us.” One of the guards patted his empty stomach before rushing in to take his share and slumping down on the ground filled with hay in a comfortable position before digging in.“The young lord has always been like that. He would always give us a full and satisfying meal after training us like we are in hell.” Remembering the harsh and almost deadly trainings that they experienced in the past before being promoted to the first class guards filled their eyes with nostalgia.The other guards snickered while eating mouthful and mouthful of their o
Abduction IIIThird Person’s POVThe sharp and stinging pain coming from their wounds eclipsed the pull of sleepiness in their bodies, and the two guards nodded at each other with sharp look in their eyes as they dragged their bodies to carry their comrades inside the three carriages of their envoy before hiding in the dark near the inn’s back door while looking for any suspicious figure that might be watching them.It is a coincidence that one of them is also one of the two that went inside the inn’s back door to get their food, and his eyes instantly congealed dangerously as he thought of the honest-looking man that gave them the four baskets of food. Why did he not think of directly asking the back kitchen for the food? If not, how could they be fooled to such an extent that ten of their comrades are currently unconscious, and even the situation of their lord is still unknown. It is a very humiliating thing for a group of first class guards to fall into such a cheap trick that
MissingThird Person’s POVThe night deepened with the moon’s brilliance flourishing extravagantly in the dark blue skies. Captain Ross rolled on the uneven road to dodge the flying weapons that almost punctured his eyes. His leather armor is already littered with holes and scratches from the back and forth against the two enemies in the dark. “These two bastards are slippery like the snakes they are.”Captain Ross spat on the ground with gloomy eyes. The stinging pain on his cheek caused him to frown dangerously while picking up his sword. They have been fighting against the two enemies in the dark for over five minutes, but other than giving them some skin injuries, Captain Ross, Ken and Lyor could still not take them down.Irritation flashed in Ken’s face as he pushed down Lyor behind him. He kept on reminding Lyor earlier that he and Captain Ross are enough to deal with the two enemies in the dark, but his younger brother is too stubborn that its getting on his nerves. “Don’t
Missing IIThird Person’s POVSamel glanced at the slightly open window of his room while listening to the report of the guard. He pursed his lips, feeling a little restless and impatient while turning around the exquisite dagger on the bedside table next to him. The sharp edge of the dagger reflected the complex and unknown emotions brewing in his orange orbs, and a scraping sound echoed in the room when his wrist paused, causing the dagger to tear the surface of the wooden bedside table.The voice of the guard that was orderly reporting what happened after getting the instructions of Captain Ross choked before stopping still while looking down to avoid the terrifying eyes of their young lord. He thought about whether he said something wrong to cause the irritation that flashed in their young lord’s face, but the guard could only feel helpless at not knowing what it is. “Young lord, did I say something wrong?”Samel came back to his senses after hearing the quivering voice of the
Missing IIIThird Person’s POVMidnight approaches as the darkness deepened in the land. Samel disappeared after rushing out of the inn, and not knowing what to do, Captain Ross with Ken followed their young lord’s instructions to search around the whole border town. They both went to different directions to spread out their searching ranges, and even Jared and General Markus joined in to look. Jared did not dare to leave General Markus’ side for fear of the latter’s weakened spirit for the past weeks, and the two of them scoured around the wall of the border town without alerting the town’s guards. They took a quarter of an hour to search and circle around the wall, but they did not find anyone suspicious from their high and wide field of vision at the top of the wall.“Where do you think they would go?” General Markus stood atop a dark corner of the wall with his hands behind his back. Jared looked at the concern flashing in the eyes of his general before thoughtfully sweeping
FutureThird Person’s POVIn the three days that they were cut off from the outside world, Asha and Samel completed the marking, and their bodies would exude each other’s scents from the physical and astral form. 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. Asha came out of her shyness as she sat up to get out of the bed, but her eyes fell on the red marks on her body, and redness tinged her whole face to her earlobes. She just woke up and realized that Samel was not on the bed.She could feel his presence through her soul, and guessed his position in the villa while taking out a towel and bathrobe to the man-mad

After the ritual of the mate ceremony and the vows of the two fated mates, the main dish was served by the servants of the manor, and the guests were instantly conquered by the tantalizing smell of the seared steak meat that was placed on their tables. The music once again sounded in the surroundings, and the two protagonists of the night walked down the platform and into the central pavilion where their friends and families are staying.Their arrival near the pavilions instantly caught the attention of the guests, and the veil that was on Asha’s face before is now gone which caused most of the guests to pause on their movements while looking incredulously at the enchanting and mesmerizing face of the young lady that appeared beside their city lord as his fated mate. How could there be such a beautiful person in this world? The young ladies that are still stunned silly felt a lot

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
Vows Third Person’s POV.The reunion of the brother and sister fell into the eyes of Samel and the others. 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. And under the surprised eyes of her eldest brother, Asha turned to the side and pulled Samel’s right hand to let him stand next to her. “Eldest brother, this is Samel, my fated mate.”All the words that she wants to say to her elde
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. Killing someone would not be impossible, and judging by the frozen figure of their crown prince, then the young lady’s accusations must be the truth.The two personal subordinates felt their heads aching as their worries for their crown prince skyrocketed.

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 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

They settled in a table near the back kitchen before digging in on the filling meal.After they finished their breakfast and took an hour to wash themselves and change into clean and tidy robes, Priestess Eva did not hesitate to take General Markus to King Regor’s current prison cell.

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. Most of the servants in the royal palace has experienced the night of the attack when King Regor was taken, and a few of them could not endure the temptation of the huge amount of wealth that the prince of the Black Kingdom is giving in exchange for a couple of words from their mouths.The Mist and Cole clan leader did not care about the small movements of the guests, and
