DABRIA'S POV:-
I opened my eyes again as I felt Zar licking my cheeks. I stretched my arms above my head and looked at him. I no longer felt that coldness inside my body. I sat up on the bed and looked around. My room was still dark. I crawled out of the bed and peeled my clothes off. "Come on, Zar. We are going to take shower together. I haven't been taking care of you all this long." I spoke to Zar as I walked into the bathroom. Zar followed me excitedly. I just knew that dogs were never that happy to have a shower. But Zar was not a dog. I knew he was a wolf. He was taller than me in height.
Zar reached to my shoulders while he was on his four feet. I never knew how tall he would be while on his two feet. Instead of the shower, I filled the tub with warm water. I added my favourite jasmine fragrance and some soup, then stepped into the warm water. Zar followed me behind. He was literally sitting on my lap. I rested my back with the walls of the tub and closed my eyes. It felt heavenly. Zar rested his head on my chest after a minute. After a few minutes, I started rubbing Zar's fur with his bathing sponge. Once he was all cleaned, I rubbed my body with the bathing flower. Once we both were all cleaned up, I drained the tup and stepped out of the tub.
I rinsed our bodies with fresh water then wrapped a towel around Zar's body first. I grabbed the other towel and wrapped it around my body. We stepped out of the bathroom. I used the dryer to dry my hair and Zar's Golden soft fur. "Awww… look at you. You look so beautiful after the bath. And your fur is shining." I spoke as I brushed his fur. Once Zar was read, I dropped the towel on the floor and went towards my closet. I grabbed a tank top and a pair of white shorts. I wore my clothes. I almost jumped as I turned around and found Zar sitting at the door of my closet. He was staring at me.
Shaking my head at him, I giggled and walked towards him. "Zar! You really scared the hell out of me. Let's go, baby. I know you might be hungry. Let's not make you wait any longer. I will get you a turkey today." I spoke to Zar in a low tone as I patted his fur. He never liked anyone touching his fur. Well, except for me. I signalled him to follow me. Without wasting any more time, I went straight towards the kitchen. For some reason, it felt like something had changed around. The maids were busy in their work without wasting their time on gossip. They didn't leave the kitchen as soon as they saw me. Now I was getting very nervous about everything.
"Leave us alone." Well, I was not comfortable around them. So I told them to leave. They all quickly bowed their heads in front of me and left. They even bowed in front of Zar. I could smell fear in the kitchen as all the maids ran out of the kitchen. I went towards the deep freezer dad had bought. He bought it only to dump food for Zar. As he only liked to eat meat, dad knew we needed a bigger fridge to have enough meat for a big wolf like Zar. I looked into the fridge and found a whole turkey in the freezer. I put the turkey in the oven and walked out of the kitchen. I couldn't eat without Zar.
I went to find my father. As always, Zar followed me behind. I gasped loudly as I saw Uncle Salvador standing in the hallway. I ran towards him and hugged him tightly. He chuckled softly and patted my head. "Finally! I thought I was going to go shopping without you. How are you feeling now, our sweet angel?" Uncle Salvador whispered softly as he pulled away from me. He looked at Zar and tried to pat his head. But Zar growled loudly and uncle Salvador stepped backwards. I giggled and kissed Zar's jaw. He was such an adorable thing. I had no idea why he always let me touch his fur but growl at the others. Maybe because he was always with me.
I loved him and he clearly loved me too. "I am sorry, Uncle Sal. He just doesn't like anyone touching his golden fur. I am fine now. Where is daddy? I wanted to see him before I could go and eat something." I whispered in a low tone as I could see that Zar's mere growl was able to scare uncle Salvador. His growl was as loud and dominating as the growl of an alpha werewolf.
"Oh! That's alright, sweet angel. I will be careful from now on. Your father is in the hall of throne. He has been waiting for you to wake up impatiently." He replied to me in a low tone as he patted my head. I nodded my head and walked towards the hall of throne.
Even though I was a grown woman, my family never stopped treating me like a child. When I was eighteen, I thought maybe I would no longer get that childish treatment. But hell, I was wrong. It was a curse for anyone to be the only child of the family. I never met Uncle Adrian. But dad, mom, uncle Salvador and his wife, Aunt Rebecca, couldn't quit it. After a little while, I just stopped complaining. I knew I was the only child in the family. I was the miracle of the Cerberus family. I entered the hall of throne and gasped loudly. There was a gold statue set beside the throne. The statue was exactly like the woman I used to see in my nightmares. As I walked closer towards the throne, I read the name clearly. "In the memory of the bravest warrior of the Cerberus territory. Eve Daemonium."
DABRIA'S POV:-I walked towards my father and bowed my head in front of him. He stood up and walked towards me. He engulfed me in his arms and I also wrapped my arms around him. I pulled away from him as I heard Zar's overprotective growl. Dad chuckled softly and I kissed Zar's face. "Dad! What is going on? What did I miss? This is Eve's statue, right?" I asked my dad after a minute. I felt like I was in a different territory. Where my father could loudly announce how brave and courageous woman Eve really was. And how he always told that he was proud of her. It was never allowed to even say her name out loud. Keeping her gold statue in the hall of throne was something I had never expected."Let's go somewhere else. Where we both can sit and talk. There is so much more for me to tell you. And I am sure you are impatient too." My dad spoke in a low tone while s
DABRIA'S POV:-After a few minutes, a man stepped into the kitchen. He had this wide smile on his face as he saw me. He walked closer towards me and bowed his head in front of me. "This is Ryan. One of the most powerful vampires I have ever known. Not just that. He was called the eclipse. We all feared him and his loyalty to Adrian. But then, he became loyal to Eve. She saved his life." Dad added after a minute. I was staring at that man. He sure looked so familiar. After a minute, I remembered. I used to have nightmares about him too. I stood up from my chair and walked towards him. I touched his cheek and everything he had been through, flashed in front of my eyes.For a moment, I felt dizzy and was about to fall on my butt, but Zar was already standing behind me. He caught me at the right time. "Are you alright, my Mistress?" Ryan asked me in a worried tone while lookin
DABRIA'S POV:- This place was supposed to be the place where I had the best time of my life. Whenever I used to hear Eve's painful cries, I always ran towards this place. And hid inside my room. I was glad that dad made this tree house for me. But because everything that happened between Zeus and I, I just stopped coming to the treehouse. It was painful for me to remember the time we had spent in this place. I never understood why Zeus changed that much within a few years. I was his princess. I was actually the only woman he had ever laid his eyes on. And yet, he became so barbaric when our time came. He became so barbaric that he crushed all my dreams under his heels. There was not a single day I had not thought about him. I tried not to remember anything about Zeus. Because I just couldn't bear that pain anymore. Every time anyone m
DABRIA'S POV:- I opened my eyes and gasped loudly. There was a tall and muscular man lying beside me on the bed. He was lying naked beside me. Zar was nowhere to be found. I opened my mouth to scream as loudly as I could. But before I could wake up the whole palace, my screams were muffled behind a strong palm. He covered my mouth with his hand firmly. As I knew he was naked, my eyes were closed before I even opened my mouth to scream. "Shhh… don't you dare scream." As his voice made its way to my ears, I instantly opened my eyes. My eyes widened in horror as I saw his face again. I thought I would never see his face again in my life. "I am going to pull my hand away. If you scream, I swear I will tell you how angry I can get. You will not scream. Got it?" He asked me in his same low and deep voice. I gulped hard and nodded my head. He pulled
DABRIA'S POV:-My heart skipped a beat or two when my brain started processing his words. I just didn't want to accept his words. If it was really him all this long around me, I was literally doomed. I had bathed with Zar. I had changed in front of him. Worst of all, I was walking buck ass nude in front of him most of the time when we were alone in the room. A mischievous grin appeared on his face as he pushed me back in the metrus and hovered over me. My breath hitched as he pinned me with the metrus. He interviewed his fingers with mine as he leaned over towards my neck. I closed my eyes and whimpered softly as I felt his warm breaths touching my skin.I shivered when the tip of his nose touched the sensitive skin of my neck. He actually knew every single sensitive point of my body. And he knew how to use those spots against me. "I meant that it was me all this long. I was the one bat
DABRIA'S POV:-A droplet of tear escaped his eye and landed on the ground. Were my words literally hurting him that much? Did he really think I could ever forgive him after everything he had done to me? I can remember that time as clearly as looking at my own reflection in the mirror. I shivered and jumped off of the bed. "I am sorry. I can't do this. I am not that brave. I want you to grab one of my gowns and leave. Now that I know that it was you all along, I can't bear to see you around me for another second." I said in a firm tone while looking at him. My eyes started to water up. The tears were stinging my eyes to break free. But I kept them at bay.I didn't want him to see my tears anymore. He couldn't have that pleasure ever again. I had tears in my eyes not because I saw he was in pain. It was because I had been through enough pain because of him. And I couldn't have it again. I
DABRIA'S POV:- A wide smile appeared on her face as she saw me. I stood up and walked towards her slowly. She also stood up but stayed rooted at the spot she was sitting on. I had tears in my eyes as I finally saw her smiling face for the very first time in my entire life. "Eve!!!" I whisper that escaped my lips like a prayer. Or maybe I was just too happy seeing her beautiful smile. "It is you! Oh my God! I can not believe my eyes. I almost gave up on those dreams I used to have. That one day, I will see you smiling wholeheartedly. That one day, you will be at peace." I added while staring at her from head to toe. My voice was barely audible as I was still crying. I had no idea why I was crying in the first place. But I knew those tears were not hurting my chest anymore. She gently brushed my hair while smiling at me. "Yes! It
DABRIA'S POV:-I opened my eyes and sat up on the bed, groaning in annoyance. I knew it was not just a dream that I had. And as promised, I had to go and find him. I truly didn't want to. But I always kept my promises. I crawled out of the bed and walked towards the closet. I wore a tank top and jeans shorts. I quickly grabbed my boots and my coat, then jumped out of the window. I landed on the ground effortlessly despite the height. My bedroom was on the second floor of the palace. Those were the real perks of being a supernatural creature. I sniffed the air and caught his scent. I started following the trail of his scent.I was not surprised at all when his scent took me straight towards our treehouse. It was not just a treehouse. For Zeus and Zaric, it was their den. Taking a deep breath, I started climbing up the stairs. I went towards the roof as I could smell Z
DABRIA'S POV:-I was playing with my fingers nervously. Zeus came from behind and wrapped one of his arms around my shoulders. I looked at his handsome face and smiled. "What makes you nervous, Princess? You are born to be the Queen." Zeus whispered in my ear, making me shiver in pleasure under his touch.A small smile spreaded on my face as Zeus leaned in and placed a soft kiss on my forehead. Someone cleared their throat, making both Zeus and I jump in surprise. We turned our gazes and found King Vlad standing in front of us. I smiled and bowed my head."Anything else you want to tell me about Xanus?" King Vlad asked us in a serious tone. I blinked a few times as I remembered the conversation between king Xanus and my Uncle. "I remember a little conversation between Uncle Adrian and King Xanus. He attacked us with dragon flames, as I told you. Uncle Adrian was asking him about the disappearance of the last king of the dragon kingdom." I replied to King Vlad in a low tone. I found i
THIRD PERSON'S POV:-The squad entered the palace of the werewolf kingdom using the way Phantom's soul indicated to Adrian after he died. His soul was already taken away. Eve wanted to follow Dabria as she was concerned about the wellbeing of the squad. But Adrian grabbed her hand and stopped her. "Let go of me." Eve hissed at Adrian. Adrian narrowed his head with a sad look on his face. "They need to do it on their own. We can't interfere. At least, not until we feel the need to help them. Let's just have some faith in them." Adrian whispered softly as he turned his gaze towards his niece. Dabria smiled softly and nodded her head confidently. Eve was confused as she looked at all four of them. They were behaving unbelievably confident facing a feo that they knew nothing about. Adrian nodded his head at Dabria, as a good luck gesture. Holding her head high like a queen she was, Dabria stepped out of the secret passage. They made their way straight towards the throne hall. Dabria a
THIRD PERSON'S POV:-The Commander of the werewolf kingdom was dragging Zeus deep into the woods to get rid of him for good. Zeus' eyes were closed. Zaric could only feel darkness that was starting to thicken up. As if, there was hope left for both of them. "Wake up, Zaric!" Dabria's voice echoed in Zeus' mind, making Zaric push his way out of Zeus' consciousness.Zaric pushed the commander and backed away. Due to all the wolf's bane in Zeus' system and the silver needles that were jabbed in Zeus' neck, Zaric felt weak. He couldn't do much. But for sure, he could do enough to save Zeus. Zaric looked up at the commander and his eyes widened in surprise. Zaric never expected to see that face again in his life.With shaking legs, Zaric stood up on his feet again. "You! You are alive! How can you be alive? I thought you would have died along with Charlie." Zaric growled at the commander, eyeing the man in front of him in shock. What made Zaric so shocked were the claims that man used to m
DABRIA'S POV:-I was pacing back and forth, waiting for someone I had called to help me. Ocean tried to contact King Vlad. But the dark magic around was way too powerful for Ocean to keep up to. Since Uncle Adrian was determined not to leave Ocean and I on our own, I had to improvise. It had been a few hours since Uncle Adrian brought us far away from that Island. Although we were pretty far away, I could still feel the darkness around the place. "Is everything alright, Dabria? Your message sounded more… panicked?" I heard Eve's voice from behind and I quickly turned around. I walked towards her and grabbed her hands. "You are finally here. I have been waiting for you." I whispered while staring into her eyes. I was fighting the urge to cry. "Nothing is fine. We went to the island. But they were actually expecting us. We were ambushed. Uncle Adrian brought Ocean and I here. While Moon and Zeus were left behind." I explained everything to Eve as fast as I could. My tears started flo
THIRD PERSON'S POV:-Dabria felt a consoling hand on her shoulder. It made her turn her head to look at the person who was standing behind her. She found a concerned look on Adrian's face. "I did whatever I could have done to make sure the future is secured. If I can kill my own mate for the future, I can do anything to make sure the future is secured." Adrian spoke in a low tone, making Dabria growl in anger.She stood up, slapping Adrian's hand off of her shoulder. Adrian clenched his fists as he pulled his gaze off of his niece. "Your selfish excuse is not enough for me. I want to go back. If anything happened to Zeus, I will never forgive you." Dabria yelled at Adrian angrily.Adrian gritted his teeth as he couldn't just take her there. He took a step closer towards Dabria and pinched her chin lightly. "Going back there blindly doesn't prove your bravery. It proves that you are nothing but a fool." Adrian tried to reason with Dabria. But he was not so sure if she would even try to
THIRD PERSON'S POV:-A few days after the coronation, the squad decided to continue their journey towards the werewolf kingdom. Kart's pack was already settled in the vampire kingdom, since their Alpha was now the crowned king of the vampire kingdom. Moon announced peace among all the creatures living in the kingdom. Cerberus territory decided to stay behind. Moon was leaving Hayden and Derek in charge behind his back. Knowing well that both of them would be able to handle the whole kingdom in Moon's absence.It was hardest for them to leave their children behind. The plane landed away from the borders of Svalbard. The squad was going to go through a yacht towards Svalbard. It was one place that scared all of them.Unlike the vampire kingdom, no one actually knew anything about what was happening in the werewolf kingdom. The king had killed all the magical beings that were resident in his kingdom. He left not a single enchantress or fae to convey any information from the werewolf king
THIRD PERSON'S POV:-Moon stood up and looked at his surroundings. His lips curled up in a wide grin as he appreciated the artwork he had created in the hall. The wall, the throne, marbled ground and even the ceiling was painted red with the thick dead blood of vampire king Austin. Late vampire king, actually. Moon turned around and zoomed out of the hall. He wanted to see his mate. Adrian's words were still echoing in his ears.As soon as Moon got out, he growled at his brother. Zeus was using his own healing abilities to heal Ocean. But all Moon could think of at that time was that Ocean was unconscious and Moon's brother had his hands on Ocean's chest. There was nothing more he saw at that moment.Dabria's eyes turned towards Moon as she noticed the presence of something dark and monstrous. Moon was about to get to Zeus, his murderous glare was fixed in Zeus. Dabria also ran in their direction and before Moon could get anywhere closer to Zeus, Dabria was standing between Moon and Z
THIRD PERSON'S POV:-The squad entered the palace within no time. Adrian stood in front of the door that led straight into the king's chambers. He turned around and looked at Dabria, as if asking her to do something. "Why are you staring at me like this?" Dabria asked in a confused tone, staring at Adrian nervously."Bearing the blood of the Cerberus, for now, you are the only one who can open this door. Make a small incision on your palm then place your bloody palm inside this circle." Adrian added on a low tone. Nodding her head, Dabria walked in front.She dug her fangs in her palm. Blood oozed from her palm. She smudged her blood on her hand and placed it in the middle of the circle. Green lights erupted in the door as it started to unlock. "Is it fairy magic? How did you get a fairy to do it for you?" Fin'esia couldn't help but ask Adrian in a horrified tone.All eyes turned towards Adrian, as they were all left shocked with the questions Fin'esia just asked Adrian. "Yes! It's ro
THIRD PERSON'S POV:-"Why would you end the passage in the middle of the siren's territory? Isn't it dangerous?" Dabria asked her uncle as they all followed Adrian. The others decided to stay quiet as they knew well, Adrian was no angel.They were all afraid of Adrian guiding them in the middle of the siren's territory. Although Dabria somehow was more powerful than the demon himself, they still couldn't forget how Adrian tried to kill Dabria in front of their eyes. Not to mention, he forced her to become a monster. "Exactly!" Adrian turned his head and responded. A confused frown appeared in Dabria's face as she heard Adrian.Adrian didn't stop. He kept on walking into the forest. He felt Dabria's confusion. He could almost imagine a frown on her face. "What do you actually mean?" Dabria asked after a few seconds, making Adrian halt his steps so suddenly. Dabria almost bumped into Adrian's back if it was not for Zeus who had pulled Dabria backwards. He wrapped one of his arms around
