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
ZEUS' POV:-TEN YEARS AGO:-As soon as my car came to a halt, Dabria hopped out of the car and ran towards the mansion. Chuckling at her, I walked after her. She just turned fourteen. And I couldn't wait to spend all my time with her. She was as excited as I was to be around her all the time. Zaric and I both started to feel it inside. I was not eighteen yet. But because of Zaric who was an ancient wolf, I was able to know that Dabria was our mate. And ever since Zaric learned that, the scales of his happiness and excitement were over the moon. It looked like he was more excited than I was for Dabria to turn eighteen soon. So she could also feel the mate bond between us.My heart fluttered as soon as I stepped into the mansion. She was jumping in happiness, giggling happily. She was
DABRIA'S POV:-It was the very first time when he growled at me. My heart felt like it would stop at any moment. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me to his chest. I buried my face in the crock of his neck. Clutching onto the shirt he was wearing, I hid myself in his arms. I couldn't help myself. His arms were the most comforting place for me in the entire world. He pecked my forehead as he laid down on the bed. I was lying on top of him. He lightly started rubbing my back. I didn't know what I did that angered him so much. But I never wanted him to be mad at me. He was the only man I had ever wanted in my life.I pulled my head out to look at him. He was staring at me. A wide grin appeared on his face as he saw my face. I was not sure why that satisfied grin was on his face. Because I couldn't stop my tears at all. He wiped my tears with the pad
DABRIA'S POV:-It was the very next day. Zeus woke me up at 6 O'Clock in the morning. It was the day he was about to start my training. I had no idea why my father wanted me to learn self defence. And he asked Zeus to teach me as he knew well I wouldn't say anything to him. And he knew ways to make me do whatever he wanted. I was angry at my father for asking Zeus to train me. But I was already there. And I didn't want to go back. As I could sleep peacefully at their mansion. It was not about the mansion or the palace. It was not even about the soft and comfy bed. The palace had the soul of Eve screaming into my ears every single day and even at night.If only I could make them understand why that palace was not a place I could call home. It had been like this since the beginning. After running for more than thirty minutes, I walked slowly towards the b
ZEUS' POV:- I was walking back and forth in front of the room where Dabby was with Matt. I turned my head towards the gates of the healers cabin when my father's scent hit my nostrils. I cursed under my breath as I saw my family rushing towards me. Of course the healer informed my father. As Dabria was the guest of the Alpha, it was the duty of the healers to inform the Alpha of the situation the guest was in. "What happened? Why was I informed by the healers but not from you, Zeus?" Pa asked memin a worried tone as he walked towards me. He patted my back as he saw the worried look on my face. I was speechless in front of him. How could I tell him that it was me who had hurt the very girl I had been protecting since she was born. "It's okay, son. I can understand. You might be worried sick about her. Don't worry. Matt won't let anything happen to her. Go and get s
DABRIA'S POV:-A few days later, I got discharged from the hospital. Zeus let me rest up for one more day. Then he dragged me out of my bed saying that I was sent to learn self-defense. He was annoying. And I didn't come to learn how to fight. But I couldn't help myself. I didn't want him to be angry at me again. He seemed to get angry at almost everything I did. It was not how Zeus used to be around me. He had always been caring and warm while around me. His whole pack was afraid of him. Even though he was not the Alpha yet. I never understood why they were afraid of him. But I finally figured out how scary he could be whenever he was in the training field.After two laps, he made me do push ups. My body was aching but he didn't let me go. After a water break, he asked me to take another lap. A mischievous idea popped up into my mind. He asked me to run. So
ZARIC'S POV:-" How many times do I have to tell you? There is no one in that palace. Why do you tell me the same old stupid story every time your come here? It is not a good thing spreading rumours about your own home, Dabby." I asked her angrily. I was annoyed with the topic of this screaming girl she talked about almost every day she visited our mansion.She pulled her head out and looked into my eyes. "I tell you everything because I know you don't make fun of whatever I tell you. The others think that I am crazy. You know, I am not crazy. You know that, right. You know I don't lie, especially to you. I never lied to you. Why are you talking like you think I am lying to you, Zeus?" She replied to me with a shaky voice but this time she was afraid of the wolf she was with. She was hell scared of me.It satisfied me again to see her submitting
DABRIA'S POV:-Two months passed just like that. Zeus had completely changed. He was always cold and scary around me. Two days before his eighteenth birthday, uncle Derek announced him as the Alpha of the pack. And right after that, he became even colder towards me. I started to feel that he hated me. I had seen him talking to the other she-wolves of his pack. He would smile at them and talk to them with a bright smile on his face. While on the other side, he didn't even look at me. I couldn't forget the day when he turned eighteen. He was always angry at me. Because I couldn't keep up with the training. I was slow and weak. And I knew how disappointed he was in me.As he didn't tell me anything, I decided to give him a teddy for his birthday. I knew he loved Teddy bears. I sewed it with my own hands. It took me two days to make that teddy bear. And I g
DABRIA'S POV:-I broke into tears as I grabbed the teddy bear. I brought it to my nose and inhaled Zeus' scent. It smelled like Zeus. "He did not like you. He did not like you at all. But you smell like him. He did not let me touch him. I don't know why he hates me this much now. I swear, I tried every way to prove to be his perfect mate. I swear I tried to reach his expectations. It's just… everything I do, everything I say, he seems to hate me more. When his love turned into hatred for me. Why did he start to hate it?" I whispered in a lone tone while looking at the teddy I had made for him. He did not even look at it. I had worked so hard to make it perfect for him. Crying crazily, I crawled towards the bedside table. I opened the drawer of his bedside table and pulled out a pen and paper. I sat the teddy bear on the bedside table and wiped my tears.
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
