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."
<"Did you mean it?" Jay asked Stefano when the name of the Southern Beta left the High Lord's mouth.How could a mere werewolf like Liam Blake had his name listed on the list of people who had no destiny decided for them? Liam was nothing special. He was just like the rest of the werewolves that Jay had met along the way."How is that possible?" Jay asked as he sighed."I've been questioning myself about it. At first, I thought because Liam was fated to be Jazmine. But that wasn't the case. He accidentally imprinted on her during their first meeting," Stefano replied.Jay became too speechless. Imprinting didn't always work for werewolves. It was a temporary solution for those who couldn't mark their m
Jay almost lost his mind right then and there as he pulled his hand out of Liam's chest. Liam's soul had a God's essence wrapped itself around the soul core. The essence protected Liam's soul core to the point that Fate recognized him as one of those people who had no destiny written for them. He was a mortal, so he couldn't have been born with a God's essence protecting his soul core. But who did put God's essence around Liam's soul core?It intrigued Jay's interest to the point he began to think that none of the Southern Werewolves Pack was a mere mortal. The pack had gathered some interesting individuals. But the one who interested him the most was Liam Blake, the Beta. Jay wanted to know more about Liam's past and how God's essence was wrapped around his soul core. There were only two Gods that existed in the supernatural world. Jay couldn't possibly point some other Gods of humanity responsible for this. Gods of the supernatural world and the Gods of humanity never bode
Jay wanted to say something when the Angels' voices were ringing in his ears. He rolled his eyes in annoyance, turning his back to Amanda to focus on the voices ringing in his eyes. Only one voice remained in his ears as he listened carefully, but it wasn't as hectic as the other voices. The voice sounded calm and beautiful, almost like a melody."My child....""Mother?" Jay sighed as this was the first contact he had with her after years since he left the Palace to live in the sixth realm until Alistair ruined everything."I heard that you've sentenced Ezekiel to death for treason.""Yes."There was a short silence before the Moon Goddess spoke again, "It seemed you have questions to ask me."Jay wanted to ask about the red-winged celestial being he saw earlier, but he kept it to himself. There was a reason why he shouldn't ask too many questions at the Moon Goddess. That way, he wouldn't disturb the present and future timelines unnecessari
This place was too cold, although the sun was blazing in the sky. Jazmine breathed in and out before looking at her surroundings. This was her happy place, the park near the boarding school. Her consciousness had sunken to the point she abandoned reality and lived inside the world she created in her mind.She received too many shocks that her body shut down to protect her. Jazmine couldn't remember clearly what happened, but the last thing she remembered was a hooded man stood before her with his hands touched her exposed hips. She felt the intense malicious energy from the surroundings and entered her body as if she was some cleaning vacuum pulling all the malicious energy from the world. Then, everything became dark.When she woke up, she woke up here, sitting on the swing in the park. Because of her shocks, Jazmine accepted this world as her reality because she was too scared to go back. She knew if she went back there again, Liam wouldn't be by her side. It would j
"I don't know why you suddenly wanted to meet like this," Anatasia said as she drank the tea.Liam sat across from her with his eyes twinkled with interest. He was doing a crucial role in Mira's plan to bring down Klaud Group and all the people associated with it. Anatasia Rolland, the fifth founder of June Lab, suddenly became the temporary head of Klaud Group after the CEO, Richard Diaz, died a few years ago. Although the cause of his death was still classified, it didn't need rocket science to figure out that Richard was silenced, just like the other scientists from June Lab.But every connection that connected Klaud Group to June Lab was severed before the lab was under heavy investigation. There was no record that the Klaud Group funded the lab. Despite Richard's attempts to sever his connection with the Knights of Death, he was always pulled back into the same place. There was no running from it."Where is Jazmine?" Liam asked, although he vaguely knew whe
Jazmine sat down on the same seat during high school. Anita barged into the classroom as if she owned the place. The purple-haired girl often gotten herself into a fight and ended up in the principal's office. Jazmine never asked about Anita's family and why she didn't have a guardian. Both of them had known each other since their time in boarding school."Why did you look so piss?" Jazmine asked.Anita huffed as she slumped on her seat next to her. "Max just confessed at me in front of everyone."Of course, the captain of the football team had put Anita on his radar. But the girl ended up punching him several times. That wasn't the first time he confessed to her."I'd rather sew my Miss V than going out with him," Anita declared. "What if he has STDs? The
Everyone was still brainstorming for the third phase of the plan. Mira's second phase was a success. Klaud Group began to make their movement by cutting their loose ends. The Council's agents had been dispatched in every location to ensure the witnesses would survive to give their statements regarding Klaud Group, but the effort wasn't too big yet. The world had yet to shift its attention to Klaud Group entirely. Mira knew she had to up her game if she wanted to survive this battle of justice."I found it," Amanda said as she barged into the Alpha's office. "At least, that's my hope."Mira slumped on the couch at the corner as she tried to take a nap earlier while Cohen and Liam were going through some reports. Brandon had just entered with some refreshment as he knew none of them could have a peaceful sleep."What did you find?" Mira asked as she sat up, covering herself with a blanket.Because of her busy schedule in the pack, she couldn't spend the nig
Liam ran his fingers in his hair, tousling his hair even more. He looked like a man who hadn't groomed himself for many years. Even when he took a shower, he didn't shave his jaw or combed his hair. He felt as helpless as he could get. Those years of training and fighting never made him felt this way. Now, he knew how his Alpha felt when he failed to protect Mira. Although they were mates, Liam wasn't sure whether this was a test from Fate to see whether he was the right one with Jazmine.It was another sleepless night, and the moon was making its way to the night sky. It was true that war was inevitable, but sometimes, Liam felt it could have been avoided. He couldn't recall when the last time Cohen avoided joining the war. As far as his memories allowed him to remember, the pack never backed out from a war.Although Mira had given birth not long ago, she walked around as if it was just another ordinary day for the Luna. Her healing ability was faster than the healing
# 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
