Today Alex decided that we would go hiking and then camp at the top of the mountain and spend our last day of the trip there.

The mountain was not particularly tall or impressive, but I'd never hiked one before. As such, I was quite excited about the whole thing.

We got up at the crack of dawn and made some simple breakfast. After packing up our bags, we set off.

We started out following a dirt path that ran parallel to the road, but before long we were making our own way straight up the side of the mountain.

We weren't in any particular rush, and there was no end goal or objective, so it was pretty enjoyable. There were no other people around, either.

" As a child, I have always wanted to do the things other children did, but I was never able to." I said, taking a memory lane down the ladder.

" Why is that?" Alex asked, seemingly curious.

" Now that I think about it, my parents have always been extra careful with me. One time, we went playing deep into the woods and we were attacked.

    The night was spent cuddling and star gazing. Alex did not try to make any moves on me and I was thankful for that. After all the hiking and all, my body was too spent to engage in anything else physical. So, we just held each other tight as the night breeze blew over us and we were both fast asleep.The next day we packed up all of our belongings, which was not much to be fair. Then we trekked our way down to the car. I could not believe how much time it had taken for us to climb the trail the first time. The walk down was nothing compared to what it had been when going up. I wasn't complaining though, it was a new experience for me and an exciting one for that matter.When we got to the car, I had the feeling that my adventure was coming to an end. I was kind of sad but happy at the same time. It would be nice to have a soft bed to lay on and the promise of a hot shower.We climbed in the car and Alex started the engine. The drive back to the castle was a bit longer than expected bu

    The following morning, I woke up to the sound of the door being knocked. Groaning, opened my eyes lazily, the sudden assault of light forcing me to shut them again. The knocking continued, however, and I had to sit up to rub my head, feeling a headache coming."I'm coming!" I grumbled, pulling myself out of bed. Stumbling over the carpet, I made my way to the door, and unlocked it, opening it wide enough to peek outside. On the other side of the door stood Valeria who had a grin on her face." Welcome back, your highness!" She teased and I rolled my eyes at her." What brings you here?"" Nothing much. You missed breakfast, so I decided to bring you something." She said, pushing the door wider and walked in, a small basket hanging from one of her arms. I shut the door and sat down at the table where she placed the basket down and proceeded to arrange the plates of food." So? Did you have fun?" She asked, taking a seat opposite to me and leaning forward with a smirk on her face." Wel

    Alex POVI was in the middle of a meeting with Leo and my most trusted border patrol guards when the scent of my mate enveloped me. My beast purred in delight.A moment later, the door to my office burst open and Linda arrived, panting hard.She seemed to be having trouble catching her breath, so I got up to approach her, but before I could take more than a step forward, she blurted out, "You can't destroy it!"I stopped dead in my tracks, my mind going blank as I tried processing what she was talking about."You can't destroy what?" I asked, confused.Linda took a deep, calming breath before saying, "The Elysium Poison . You can't destroy it. Without it, I can't produce the cure. The poison has been spreading in the city and I have been trying to make the antidote. The poison itself is my only hope. " She explained, making me furrow my brows." Your only hope?" I asked and she nodded." Yes, I will have to study the poison and understand it well before I can produce an antidote. As I

    " Yes. I have looked into his recent affairs and even sent someone to infiltrate his home. There's nothing special about him. He follows a strict routine everyday. After breakfast, he locks himself in his study. In the evening, he goes fishing by the lake. After dinner, he goes straight to bed. " Leo explained and I frowned.Does he follow such an arranged daily routine?" Something is wrong then. The routine is too perfect. It's like there's something he's hiding." I explained."What do you mean? "Leo asked." Don't you think it's suspicious to be doing the same thing day in and day out. Won't someone get bored? Unless they are trying to hide something." I voiced out." You mean to say that this daily routine is a cover-up for something? " Leo asked and I nodded." What should we do then? " Leo asked and I smiled." We do nothing. After he realizes that nobody is watching, he will put his guard down. That's when he'll make a mistake. " I offered and Leo nodded." Alright, I'll ask ou

    Alex's emotions were raw and strong. I could feel them all over the place. Something was definitely eating him up. When I felt him coming back to the house, I ran to him, hugging him. Despite asking him severally what was wrong, he didn't tell me and kept insisting that he wanted me in his arms. When he kissed me, I allowed him to. And it was intense, unlike his normal kisses. I could taste his desperation and hunger. He then pushed me to the sofa, kissing my neck. I was scared because this wasn't Alex, he would never force me.I tried to resist but his beast growled in protest." He is unstable. You should comfort him." My wolf, Melody said at the back of my mind.Choosing to listen to her, I allowed Alex to do as he pleased. I caressed his back soothingly as he ravaged my mouth.After a few minutes, the kisses turned passionate and I could tell that my Alex was back ."Alex?""I am sorry. I...I just lost it." He said, getting off me."What happened?"He sighed and closed his eyes, l

    Valeria chuckled awkwardly." What could I possibly hide from you? Don't get strange ideas in your mind." She replied but I could tell that she was indeed hiding something." Since you won't tell me, then I'll have to ask Alex himself." I declared and walked away from the clinic, heading towards Alex's office.Valeria ran behind me, trying countless times to stop me but a single glare from me was enough to stop her.I know for a fact that she will never do anything to harm me.In no time, I was outside Alex's office. I was about to push the door open when a female voice resounded making me halt in my steps." Aren't you happy that I am back? You promised me that you would marry me and make me your bride, won't you fulfill your promise Alex? Even if it's not for me, do you want your son to grow up fatherless? He was so excited when he heard that he would finally meet his father. Are you cruel to watch him grow without a father and break his heart?"I stood there frozen, unable to move

    " You didn't kill them? But how? You are the only person here?" Valeria questioned but I shrugged. That was the truth anyways, I didn't kill them with my bare hands." Valeria, enough with your questions. She doesn't seem too well. We should head back to the pack." Leo suggested.I pulled away from Alex before walking the opposite direction." What are you doing? Come back home with me." Alex called, his words making me halt in my movement." Home..." I mumbled, the word feeling familiar yet too unfamiliar from my lips." Linda..." Alex started but I cut him off before he could say anything else." I need to think, Alex, I'll be back later." I replied. Honestly, I hoped that they could leave me alone. I wanted to be alone and think, perhaps moan my loss and I couldn't do that with them keeping their eyes on me." I know you are angry with me but can you stop being unreasonable Linda?" Alex questioned, his words rubbing me the wrong way." Unreasonable huh? Do you think I am being unre

    " So, you already know?" My mother's defeated voice asked." I Just guessed it." I replied, not surprised by her answer. After everything that happened, I doubted that I was just a regular werewolf. There's no way a regular werewolf's blood would be able to kill a vampire but if it just happened. After contemplating everything that happened back then, I figured out that it was my blood that killed those vampires. Above all, I feel like something else has awakened in me.I can't feel my wolf even after calling her out many times. Everything drives me into making one conclusion; I am not a regular werewolf." Who the hell am I? Who are my parents?" I asked." It's hard for me to explain everything right now. It's not safe. " My mom said while looking, breathing heavily." No matter what happens though , Lind, you will always be my beloved daughter, my biggest treasure. " My mother added and I smiled, even knowing that she wouldn't see me.She doesn't need to tell me.

    Crawling to her, I shifted back to my human form. Clutching her into my arms, I watched as she took her last breath. Turning to look at Alex, he was slowly drawing closer to the claws of death. Letting out a loud growl, something snapped inside me and I felt a sudden rush of adrenaline rushing through me as something crawled under my skin. It was sweet, dark, eerie and sadistic.A sense of dread overtook me as a new power surged in my veins, burning and searing my flesh as it rushed to the surface. A shining beam of light surrounded me as I felt a strange coldness settling deep in the marrows of my bones then I exploded, letting everything go. The ground underneath me started to quake, the air inside the four walls turned thick, my skin felt as if it was on fire, but instead of burning me it felt like it was peeling off.Groans and grunts filled the room, a sudden tsunami surrounding me, lifting me up and driving in circles. Beams of pure light hit the enemy, a single blow sendin

    The more Lucian ranted the more I pitied him. Pathetic right? But as a child, he didn't deserve to be treated that way. Just like he said, I was raised in wealth but what more was I offered. Just like him, I was a caged bird, caged by the walls and rules of the kingdom yet what I went through as a child didn't influence what I am now. " That's no excuse to harm innocent people. " I started calmly.I could feel my body burning, no, scorching would be the perfect explanation. The heat was so much that I just wanted to claw at my skin. " Innocent people? " Lucian sneered. " How innocent could they be? Thanks to those so-called innocent people, I was branded dangerous, a traitor. And that stupid fortune teller, claiming that I would bring downfall to the whole land. Her useless words added to that pathetic man's hatred towards me and I was kicked away in the middle of the night, just like the dirty secret I was in his hands.

She was like a cornered beast, fighting it's way for freedom.Her attacks were ferocious and unforgiving, not giving me time to breath as she unleashed her full force upon me. One thing I realised, her magic wss weak, meaning her witch side Wasn't that strong. She was relying on her vampire and lycan powers to fight."I don't want to do this Rosabella" I told her as I tried to disarm her without hurting her. "You should have thought about that before you betrayed your people and join that man to cause ruckus. Rosabella sneered. " And you think you are Qualified to tell me what and what not to do? " I shook my head. At this point, she could already tell that she was clearly not strong enough to rival me yet she was insisting on fighting to the death?

Muttering a few words, I was freed from the chains making my eyes widen in surprise. " How did you do that? " I asked and she smiled. "The cuffs are something my family created so I can control them, " She replied, shrugging her shoulders. She then casted a spell on herself, looking exactly like me. Looking at her, I could hardly tell the difference, even her scent matched mine. " Go now! You can't waste more time. " She urged me. Nodding, I turned around and left. I found myself Following the path like I knew the place and ended up Aurora's room. Sitting on her bed, I prayed to the goddess to let her see the end of the day. My skin felt dirty from all the days I had stayed without a bath.

    Linda's POVShe was right.Whether Alex stayed back at the kingdom or came to this damn forsaken place, a confrontation between them was inevitable. From what I saw about that man, his hatred for Alex ran deep and there's nothing that could stop him from taking his revenge on Alex.It's funny or should I say it's twisted how that man thinks?After being discarded by his father, he blames Alex for his misfortunes?I nodded." Do you have a plan?" I asked, taking x deep breath and embracing the fact that it was time for war.Macbeth grinned, " Now that's More like it."I smiled, amazed at how even her expressions and vigor matched Valeria's." Lucian plans to attack the castle but we will do it Instead. Tomorrow before noon, seduce him, make him let his guard down. We will invade this place, eliminate all the rogues and goddess knows what fate will be served to that bastard because I won't let him breathe past tomorrow."

    Macbeth povComing here was something that I would probably get a Scolding from my father but at this point, I didn't care. I needed to do this for my sister.For so many years, I had tried to convince my father to bring her back to the deep sea where her family is but he never agreed." She is a witch, Macbeth. She can't survive here. " That would always be his reply.He was right yet every time I heard his answer, I would not help but be angry.Angry that he never found a way to bring her to us.I would sneak occasionally to the dry land and sneak a peek at her yet every time I saw her, I left more heartbroken than the previous time.Her life among the lycans wasn't as bad. She was respected and valued here. Nobody treated her badly. At Least that would comfort me everytime.She had someone who adored her to the moon and back. Sometimes, I even envied her. Her life was fun, nothing like the mundane life I lived under water." Are you even listening to me? " I heard Kaiser's voice as

    Looking at the scene unravelling before me made me sick to the stomach. Turns out that the reason that child looked like me was because he was my brother's son, a brother I never knew about." So now, do you still want to deny it? " Macbeth asked and I sucked in cold breath." There's nothing to deny but the fact still remains, I never knew that I had a brother somewhere. " I replied in all honesty." I can't believe this! " Leo murmured, looking all shaken." You really didn't know? " Macbeth pressed but I was getting fed up with her." How many times must I say that I never knew!? " I raised my voice as I spoke." If you really want your help then the first step you take is trust us. Why would I lie about something so serious? If I ever knew about having a brother, do you believe i'll want to be the lycan king? I have never loved being tied down to the throne. " I added and she nodded, looking away." I think Alex is telling the truth. He would not let someone take Jos mate away and

    The lady turned to look at Leo with an hostile look painting her face. " You know nothing about my family so I suggest you stop making wild guesses." She warned. I shook my head at Leo , stopping him from arguing with her. At this point , we were supposed to stick together to face the enemy and not fight amongst ourselves. As for their differences, although I doubt there's any , they will solve them later. " Show me to my sister's room and bring something that belongs to your mate." The lady instructed and I nodded. " Leo , can you show her to valeria's room? " I requested but he growled at me, obviously dissatisfied. "'Why should I take her? " He asked. " Forget it . I'll head there myself. I'll just follow her scent. Macbeth replied before turning away and heading in the direction of valeria's room.I sighed and Leo frowned. He then glared at me. " What? " I asked, feigning innocence.
