“No more serious business,” Cohen said as he tucked Mira back in the bed. “You need to rest and recuperate.”
She crossed her arms over her chest while her eyes hardened. “I just wanted to help Liam.”
“Babe, I understand that. We all wanted to help him but putting your life on the line is out of the equation. Plus, our little Alphas still need their momma.”
Cohen never understood the concept of childbirth even if someone was telling him a million times about it. Now, he had witnessed the pain that Mira had to go through to give birth to his heirs, he finally understood. She was clearly in pain because of the surgery earlier but she was hiding it. The incision would heal once the drug was worn off from her system. A werewolf’s birth was different from the humans. T
Clavier stood by the bedside as he watched Stefano healed Adeline. After the battle with the Angel of Death ended, Adeline chose the life of a nomad to redeem herself for what she did. Not only did she side with the Angel of Death, but she also caused great suffering to those close to Stefano. Their marriage had hit rock bottom ever since. Clavier knew that Stefano already forgave Adeline but the woman could never forgive herself no matter how hard she tried.“Putting her life like this….You have to do something,” Clavier said.Stefano looked longingly at his wife. He missed having her standing by his side. The castle felt cold and empty without her in it. He knew he did the wrong thing when he kept Mira by his side while casting his wife away in the time loops but it was the only way he could think of to protect Adeline.
Jay chuckled as he glanced at him. That was all Clavier needed to confirm his suspicions. It would be unbalanced if two Gods existed at the same time. Jay had most likely done something to hide his existence as a God, allowing him to go unnoticed by celestial entities.Stefano entered the room with a worried expression on his face before Clavier could say anything else. The Daemon High Lord appeared to be well aware of Jay's claim to be a God."Stefano?" Clavier called the Daemon High Lordas if he expected his best friend to explain everything.As he spoke, Stefano brushed his long fingers against Anita's brow, "It's something I've known for a long time. It's just what Mother wanted for."Mother.The Moon Goddess was referred to as Mother by Stefano. Because she was the Mother of all supernatural beings, every celestial entity addressed the Moon Goddess as Mother."What makes you think the Moon Goddess would want another God?" Clavier
"For now, let the pack rest. They had fought enough battles," Jay said as he walked side by side with Stefano. "I will try to dispel the malicious energy at the temple to allow them to enter.""It won't be easy," Stefano replied.Jay might be a God, but his power came from absorbing the Moon Goddess' power. After decades of not absorbing Moon Goddess' power as she already stabilized, Stefano doubted Jay would have enough power to dispel the malicious energy in a short time.Jay smiled at him as he said, "Don't overthink. Just because it'd be difficult doesn't mean it's impossible.""Judah...."Jay stopped walking as soon as he heard
It had been a day since Jazmine lost her consciousness, but Rowan doubted it was unintentional. It seemed Jazmine did something to herself so that she could escape the painful reality. Rowan sat on the steel chair inside the windowless room where Jazmine was admitted. Wires and tubes were connected to her body to monitor her health if she decided to do something inside her mind.A few minutes later, a doctor entered with a small steel tray with a syringe. He placed the tray on the bed before drawing Jazmine's blood using the needle."Is it going to work?" Rowan asked as he observed the doctor extracted a syringe full of Jazmine's blood."I can't guarantee anything, Mr. Robinson. We have to wait for the result in a few hours," the doctor replied.Rowan paced back and forth with his hands repeatedly brushed against his face as he sighed in frustration. They wasted so much time to siege the hospital with the hellhounds to keep the werewolves busy. The magic-
Rowan took off his shirt and stared at the biting mark on his right shoulder while his bones continued to shift underneath his skin. The moon was shining to its fullest tonight, illuminating his dark room. His hands trembled as he tried to control the transformation, but he knew he would lose the battle. He was never in control of his body. It almost felt like another soul was occupying his body, taking over whenever there was a full moon. Three years ago, everything fell apart for the second time.Three years ago, Valentino Darragh hired a group of hunters to purge an old facility that was rumored to be the nest of the Lycans. At that time, Rowan was helping the Captain of the hunters, who was his long-time best friend and knew the existence of the supernatural species among the human. Rowan became a hunter to hunt down those supernatural species that he deemed a threat to humanity to
Jay hummed as he walked along the treelines. A smile stretched on his lips as he looked up to the night sky. His hair waved softly as the wind breeze passed by. It had been a while since he had a quiet night like this, but this was the calm before the storm.But underneath his feet were the corpses of hellhounds that he had killed earlier before they could get to a town and caused problems. He was supposed on his way to the Arctic when he noticed the hellhounds were hunting down a certain someone. The Knights of Death faked someone's scent and spread it in the town to get the hellhounds hunting innocent lives."Judah...." someone called from behind.Jay's eyes turned glimmering golden as he cast a glance at the newcomer. A smile stretched on his lips as if the person's presence amused Jay."It has been a while, Ezekiel," Jay said as Ezekiel pulled back the hood that was covering his face and folded his wings behind his back. "How long has it been? Three t
Jay's feet touched the ground, and he looked up to see the marvelous castle in front of him. Someone opened the double doors and bowed to him. Jay could feel a strong presence of Angels coming from the castle. Just as he stepped in, he saw more than thirty Angels were standing in the living room along with the house's host, Stefano."Eh...." Jay dragged his word in amusement. "I didn't know you were expecting so many guests today, Stefano."The Angels looked at him as if he had interrupted their meeting. Jay only smiled in amusement while Stefano looked at him with his stoic expression."I didn't expect you so soon, Judah," Stefano replied as he stood from his seat."Brother Stefano, we will resume our meeting another time," Keylie said.Jay chuckled as he approached them. He knew they tolerated his presence, but they would never listen to a word he said even if he spoke the truth. But this time, Jay didn't want to waste time entertaining their att
Liam slammed his forehead on the desk as he felt the intense stares coming from behind. He swallowed his saliva nervously as if he had done something terrible. He knew the dark circles underneath his eyes were getting visible, and he knew he barely touched his meals since Rowan captured Jazmine. Liam didn't have the appetite to eat or the will to sleep. All he could think about was looking for his mate while his pack was trying to recuperate."If you're staring any longer, you might puncture holes onto his back," Brandon spoke as he entered the office.The hospital discharged Brandon a few hours ago, and he already returned to his post in the pack. It appeared everyone in the pack was a workaholic. With the war raging on their doorstep, nobody was at ease. Everyone was edgy and alerted as they didn't know when the next attack would happen.Cohen groaned in annoyance before slumping on the seat. "Look at him! He didn't eat nor sleep. He's a walking zombie."
# Jazmine's memory"Are you sure this is what you wanted?" Mira asked her.They visited Stefano together despite the latter being busy handling his Council and the berserk werewolves that slowly made their recovery. Still, they would never be able to live a normal life like before."Liam is all I ever wanted, and you know that," Jazmine replied. "One day, old age will consume him, and I'll have to live on without him. I don't want that.""You know there's a price to pay," Stefano said. "You have to lose your power in return for giving up your immortality. It means you will give up for Godly traits to be a normal mortal being.""I can live without having any power," Jaz
"I'm immortal, Liam," Jazmine blurted the words right out just after Liam finished his shower in the morning.She had been gathering the courage to talk to him about it. But every time she wanted to talk about it, she couldn't say a word. She wanted to grow closer to Liam, loving him the way he loved her. But the miscommunication slowly caused a rift between them.Liam stood there, repeatedly blinking while trying to dry his dripping wet hair. The rift in the relationship wasn't that visible for everyone else to see, but it was visible for both of them."How are you taking it? That I'm immortal?" Jazmine asked, looking at him.They slept on the same bed. They grew accustomed to each other's presence, but the relationship had yet to move to the next b
A week later,"Have some rest, Anita." Jazmine pulled the duvet to cover her up.It had been a week since the court hearing. Anita was discharged from the hospital and recuperated in the pack mansion. Jazmine knew that inside, Anita was grateful for the decision of the courthouse despite it still wasn't the happiest news she had received. But, Mira fought for her just as much as Luna fought for a fair justice system.# TrialJahan collected all the documents from the seven Councilors, and he was looking through them one by one—make sure everything was in order."3 Councilors are in favor of the punishment," he revealed, putting the three documents to his right. "3 Councilors are not in fav
Anita demanded the Enforcer drove her to the Council when she heard that the battle was won, and Rowan surrendered himself to the Council to answer his crimes. She knew that even though the Council was under a new system, there was still a high chance that she would never see him again, especially he was involved in the conspiracy to eradicate all supernatural species. Anita knew Mira was the deciding voter for Rowan's punishment. She was hoping that Mira would show a little bit of mercy."Rowan!" Anita shouted his name as soon as she arrived there at the same time as him.Rowan was handcuffed and escorted by Brandon into the building when she got there. They won the battle, but another one was about to happen—the battle for her mate. Anita was going to fight for Rowan if she had to. He was still her mate.Rowan kept his head low and murmured something to the Gamma. Brandon glanced at Anita for a second before he escorted Rowan into the building, and the g
For years, she lived as if she was a human. No matter how hard she tried, she could never be a human again. She was a human once, but now, she was no longer a human.She was the result of an experiment, something that was hard for her to swallow.Jazmine stood there in the back of her mind, surrounded by darkness. The loud voices had left her, and now, everything was in complete silence. There was nothing else left for her here. She didn't know what happened out there. Everything became blurry for her. The memories she had about her family and Uncle Richard had become a distant past and unreachable. She couldn't remember much about them anymore, as if someone deliberately erased those memories one by one."Jazmine...Jazmine...." Someone called from somewhere.Jazmine spun around and saw a beautiful woman dressed in white standing before her. Her hair was as white as snow and her eyes as blue as the sky. Her smile was dazzling, and her skin was glowing wit
# Mira's memory"The big boss is in there," Mira said, pointing to the tallest building in the realm.Sylas looked at her as if she had some loose screws in her head but remembering that Mira was the type of person who didn't shy away from dangers made Sylas rethink the plan once more."You're planning to kill the big boss?" Sylas asked.Mira didn't answer him. The entire plan had changed the moment Mira took the lead. She killed the Outer Angels along the way without feeling remorse about it. Nothing in the world could clean the blood that coated her hands since the day she decided to become Mira Red, the well-known redheaded huntress.This time she wasn't fighting for herself. She was fighting for Liam's happiness. Liam had sacrificed everything for her and Cohen. Mira thought it was about time she repaid Liam for that. She didn't care if she had to make a deal with an Outer being, but for as long as they got Jazmine back to Liam, that was all th
The doom shattered, but it wasn't quick enough to stop Jazmine from touching the Sword of the Doombringer. Abbadon's sneer laughter echoed throughout the realm, stopping everyone on their track. Jazmine was holding the sword with her head hung low with her body trembling as she laughed wickedly.There was no hint of the real Jazmine anymore. The laughter sounded like thousands of voices combined, and it sent shivers down everyone's spine. Abbadon looked pleased even though the outcome wasn't what she had anticipated, but it was better than nothing.Combined with Mira's dark manifestation, Jazmine's soul became corrupted, and she fell into the darkness. With the sword of the Doombringer's influence, Jazmine strayed further from the Path of Light."Mira," Cohen called as he stood next to his mate while the Alpha's heirs stood behind them."Luna, what's going on?" Liam asked.At first, it was the battle against the Knights of Death. Now, it was a batt
Jazmine grabbed the chain from the ground right before Abbadon swung the Sword of the Doombringer to her. The chain wrapped around the sword, and Jazmine dodged it just in time. As her skin continued to make contact with the chain, a voice inside her head laughed at her as if something had possessed her.Jazmine pulled away, staggering. The laughter grew stronger inside her mind. Something dark was lurking at the back of her mind causing her to be unable to think straight. Once in a while, the scene before her eyes kept shifting to a darker scene. Jazmine fell to the ground with her hands clenching. What was happening to her mind? Why did she keep seeing the destruction of the world? Why did she keep feeling the blood coated her hands as if she killed those people with her own hands?"Luna," Liam called as if he recognized what was happening to his mate. He looked to his side and noticed Mira was looking at Jazmine with intense eyes.The werewolves and their all
# Cohen's memory"Demon wolves," Stefano revealed to them the nature of their pups in Mira's bulging tummy. "All three of them are going to be born as demon wolves."Worries plastered on Cohen's face when the words sunk into his mind. This wasn't the first time he heard that his pups would be demon wolves when they were born. He had suspected it long ago, and also, Clavier hinted him the same thing. Hearing this suspicious had just added more worries in the Alpha. Not only because Clavier told him his pups would be stronger than Mira, but he also mentioned that the pups would be harder to control."This is very a rare case," the High Lord continued, "I've seen many births of hybrids during my time. They were either born as one of the parents' origin. Take an example of a hybrid of v
