Daphine POVAs I step out of the room, I couldn't help but feel guilty. This was the man that had laid out his past on my table and what do I make out of it? Kissing him.What's more hurtful was the realization that it was one of the most intense moment of my life. Never had anyone made me feel this good, but being around Rex had created such a good energy.As I walked through the hallway, all I could hear was groans and roars, coupled with clashing sound of swords. I head to the training ground and what appeared before me, was Levi training with a dummy. He looked very determined and for every bead of sweats that dropped from his body, he strikes even harder at the dummy, till he eventually broke it."You should keep your impressed look for when I am done on the battlefield." He said without having to look back. "I didn't say I was impressed and I never had a smile on my face as well; you were just imagining things." He chuckled, while he use his sword to push away the broken dummy.
Chapter Rex POVI have never seen Ivory looked so pissed before and despite the implication that would come with such behavior, I liked her this fireced. Walking behind her till we got to our room, I sat by the chair and watched Ivory lay back to the bed. The evening was slowly approaching, a testament to how long we had stayed at the training ground."The fact that he thinks fighting with sword is the best way to beat an opponent, is irritating." Ivory stated out of the blue. She was indeed still grumbling over her encounter with the prince."You know he has a point right?" I wished I hadn't said that statement as Ivory gots up to stare at me in the most twisted way possible. "You are going to support him? Really Rex? Why am I surprised, this is coming from someone who used riffles anyways." Her savagery at this point was hilarious and all efforts to contain my laughs yield no results, as I burst out into a hysterics of laughs."Keep laughing all you want, we both know I am saying
DAPHINE POV"But it almost burned you!" I said, my face flushing from embarrassment. "What would happen if I wasn't able to get this magic under control, Levi? It could harm others or worse yet, myself!""It will take some time, Ivory, but you will learn to control it. After all, I still remember my first transformation and the degree of destruction I caused to my room." He said. "It will be alright, Ivory, trust me.""But what if I don't want this?" I asked. I wasn't ready to carry the burden of powers yet. I needed more time."You may not want this, Ivory," Levi said, "But you have it, and it will become more important to your survival in the coming days."His words hung in the air like a chain I couldn't get out of. I knew he was right, but I wasn't ready for this.I turned away, gazing at the damage I had caused, and suddenly I could feel a familiar force rise up within me.A small wind gusted around us, and I could feel the anger mounting within me. The force that was within me r
DAPHINE POVThe sun was setting, and the sky was filled with a brilliant array of colors. We sat there on the hilltop, holding hands and enjoying the view. We talked and laughed, getting to know each other even more. It felt like we had known each other for years, and yet it was only the beginning of our story.The sun sank below the horizon, and the sky grew dark. The stars began to appear, and we sat in silence, just taking in the moment.Then, a thought occurred to me."There's something I want to show you." I said, getting to my feet. "He looked at me curiously, but he trusted me and got to his feet as well. I took his hand and led him away from the hilltop, down a winding path. We walked in silence, the only sound the rustling of the leaves and the chirping of the crickets. Finally, we reached a clearing in the woods, where a small pond was surrounded by trees. The water was still, reflecting the moon and the stars."It's beautiful." He said, his voice full of wonder. "How did yo
DAPHINE POVI awoke to the sound of birds chirping outside my window. The sun was just beginning to rise over the horizon, and I could smell the faint scent of freshly baked bread coming from the kitchen downstairs.I sat up in bed and stretched my arms above my head, feeling the warm summer breeze coming through the open window. I took a deep breath and let the familiar smells of my home wash over me.Today was going to be a special day, I could feel it in my bones. I had no idea what the day would bring, but I knew that I was ready for whatever came my way.I got out of bed and made my way downstairs, the smell of the bread growing stronger with each step. I could hear the sounds of my mother moving around in the kitchen, humming a familiar tune as she worked."Good morning, Ivory," she said as I walked into the kitchen. "Would you like some breakfast?"I smiled and nodded, taking a seat at the table. My mother placed a steaming bowl of porridge in front of me, along with a cup of fr
DAPHINE POVAs I looked around, I saw that our house was just as I remembered it. But something was different. The townspeople were different, too. They were kinder, more generous. And I realized that my time in the realm of magic had changed me, too. I had learned the true meaning of compassion, and of kindness. I had learned that there was magic in the world, even in the most ordinary of places.And I knew that I would never forget the lessons I had learned, and the friends I had made.And so, I continued to live my life, always remembering the magic I had experienced. But as the years passed, I began to hear whispers of another realm, a realm even more magical than the one I had known. And I began to dream of it, night after night.In my dreams, I saw a castle made of clouds, and a forest of crystal trees. I saw creatures that I had never seen before, creatures of light and shadow. And I heard a voice, calling to me from the distance."Come to me," the voice said. "Come to the real
DAPHINE POVThe wolves moved in slowly, surrounding us in a wide circle. The Alpha stood in front of me, her body tense and ready for battle. I stood behind her, my heart pounding in my chest. I had never been in a situation like this before, and I wasn't sure what to do. I felt a warm, wet nose nudge my hand, and I looked down to see the pup looking up at me. He looked scared, but he was trying to be brave. I reached down and stroked his head, trying to give him some comfort.The lead wolf stepped forward, its eyes fixed on the Alpha. It let out a low, menacing growl, and I could feel the hair on the back of my neck standing up. The Alpha didn't back down, standing her ground and growling back. The two wolves were locked in a standoff, neither one willing to make the first move. Then, without warning, the lead wolf lunged forward. The Alpha met its attack head-on, the two of them snarling and snapping at each other. I could hear the other wolves growling and howling, egging their lea
DAPHINE POVThe Alpha nodded, her gaze filled with wisdom and understanding. "Now go," she said, with a smile. "Your friends are waiting for you." I turned, knowing that it was time to leave. I took a deep breath, and then began to walk away. I felt a sense of peace as I moved through the trees, the moonlight filtering through the branches. I knew that my life would never be the same, but I also knew that I was ready for whatever came next. I was ready to face my future, whatever it might hold.As I walked, I felt a sudden warmth in my chest, like a small fire had been lit within me. I knew then that the Alpha had given me a gift - a piece of her light, to guide me on my way. I took comfort in the knowledge that I was not alone, that there was always someone watching over me. I felt a renewed sense of strength, and I knew that I could face whatever challenges the future might bring. I was ready to take on the world, and make it a better place.As I reached the edge of the forest, I st
Daphne POVAs I ran towards the face approaching our pack mansion, the weight of the world lifted off my shoulders. I was no longer scared of being rejected, his face was as warm as ever, the moment I was close, his arms encircled me in a warm embrace. I could feel his heartbeat as I tightened my arms around him."You are the most stubborn child I ever had!" he laughed and I responded, "I am just a true reflection of you and your only child in case you've forgotten"There was a subtle look of admiration in his eyes and that gave me smile across my face. He seemed like a proud father."You got that right, now it's time for us to talk" he said, walking towards the pack house. The journey was ...serene, my father was sharing the news that had filled his days during my absence, it was like nothing had changed except that I was no longer naïve. He spoke of wars, betrayals and how he had handled everything, and I could not stop smiling. He was an Alpha indeed, strong and reliable. I remem
Daphne’s POVThe triplets tried their best not to pretend not to be present…it was almost as though they were trying to lessen the eyes waiting for me to speak.As I opened my mouth, despite my urge to talk…nothing came out.“I got this” I whispered to myself but I could feel my spirit dampen as reality hit me.I couldn’t and if by any chance I messed this up, it would make things harder for the triplets than it already is.“What do you want to tell them?” I heard Rex ask me through the link and I sighed before meeting his eyes.“What I feel as a fellow woman like them”.“Then do, show them who is Luna” he replied and I suddenly found my voice.I didn’t want to bore them with long talk but rather, the plan was to share what I felt as a woman to them and so I did.When I was done talking,I let out a sigh and met their eyes, silence loomed over us for a while before one of them slowly began clapping and soon there was an uproar of applause.The smiles I saw on their faces while they cla

Daphne's POVWith a sigh, I stirred and was hit with the ray of sunshine dancing into the room.I shit my eyes rightly before slightly opening them to adjust to the room's brightness.It took a while for me to get familiar with my surroundings. Slowly, the events that took place the night before filled my mind and a chuckle escaped my lips.Sleepy Ray was so damn sexy, caring and different… I remembered greedily wanting more of the Ray I had seen and hoped that it wasn't just a dream.“Glad to see you had something to smile about upon waking up” I heard someone groggily say, causing me to jerk upon realizing that I wasn't the only one present in the room.Ray stood with a tray in his hands, watching me with an amused look on his face.“I don't think I appreciate being teased so early in the morning” I whined, causing him to laugh softly and sit down beside me.“Early morning, you say?” He teased, putting the tray down.“Good to know your morning starts by 2pm baby girl”, I turned brig
Daphne’s POVThe night was cold and weirdly starry but so many thoughts flooded my head making it hard for me to go to sleep.The disbelief of everything that was happening made it difficult to rest.From my dad not being the Alpha King anymore to being back home and together with my mates.My soft footsteps kissed the cold ground as I wandered around. The Triplets were fast asleep already and judging from the meetings that were held this evening, I knew they needed all the rest they could get, so I chose not to let my insomnia disturb them.It would have been pretty nice to spend the night in their arms, talking about the future we imagine, but then I also longed for some peace and quiet.And just as though the universe could sense I would rather not be disturbed, the night whispered soothing words to me as it welcomed me to the garden.One thing that amused me was the way the brothers had handled their pack in our absence… This same pack was what the late Alpha Ryder wanted them to
Daphne’s POVA part of me was hurt that I wasn't getting the embrace Rex was about getting.The only thing I longed for was to sink into their warmth and take in their scents, I deserved it because it was finally all over.I didn't want to know the reason they had acted that way now, but rather I needed rest. I watched as Rex moved slowly to their side before falling unconscious.The mood immediately changed as he was carried back to the mansion and while I tagged along slowly.I could feel Ray and Rory's gaze on my body causing me to shiver in delight, but right now, Rex required me and as much as their warmth was what I needed to calm down my racing heart, I still detested them due to the way we were treated a little while back.I stayed and watched while Rex was being treated due to the bruises he had gotten from fighting with the soldier.Unable to hold down my curiosity, I asked, “why did you free Rex even though he had killed your soldier?”It took all my willpower to stop mysel
Daphne’s POVMy hand immediately grasped my mouth as those words left my mouth. I didn’t even want to look at Rex because I could burst into tears and tears would make us look guilty here by justifying their judgment.I couldn’t believe the two people who stood grinning in front, and the only emotion that danced on my face was discussed. There was no explanation whatsoever for this decision they had made, even if at all we were imposters…. Weren’t there other ways to find out if indeed we were?We weren’t even asked questions or even investigated.“Is this how the system runs now?” I began, unable to hold myself any longer.“So many things are wrong with your decision” I heard Rex chip in angrily, causing me to smile. The fact that he snapped out of his mood to support me was enough.“No investigation was made, no questions asked. what kind of messed up justice system is this pack now running!?”“What then differentiates you from your dad?” I asked.“You do know I am an Alpha's daugh
Daphne’s POVIt all went too fast, in the blink of an eye we went from analyzing the pack’s environment and the weird reception towards us to being arrested.I opened my eyes softly and met theirs. My mates stood in our front as they whispered among themselves.So many emotions filled me up and my heart thumped in excitement as so many emotions flooded my subconscious.I watched with a smile on my face as they turned to face us with a cold grin plastered on their faces, dampening my spirits.Never was I expecting them to open their arms wide to welcome us, but this reception was just far too cold.I heard a groan from Rex, causing me to be aware of his presence, “Rex?” I called out as he said nothing more to me.“What's going on, Ivy?” He asked me, struggling with the guards that held him captive.“I'm sure I didn't stutter, identify yourself!”“You both entered our borders in a very comfortable manner, as though you know your way around,” Ray said, eyeing us up wearily, causing my he
Daphne's POV“You don't know that this isn't your journey, right?” Uriel asked, stopping us from moving any further with them, while the men stopped in such a way that made me notice that Uriel must have stopped time to speak to us.“What do you mean?” Rex asked, confused, as though he could read my mind.“It seemed like you both have forgotten where you came from, the past you left behind to a face destiny has been calling”“What about the relics and the battle we are to face? I am needed, and you must know” I interrupted.“Your journey stops here, trust me you need to return to balance things, the battle you'll face soon is dependent on how you handle this”“How long ago did you feel as though they were still calling out to you?” he asked me, ignoring the question I had asked earlier, causing Rex’s attention to shift towards me.I never told anyone or even confessed to myself that I could feel the mate pull me towards where they called out to me, but I then realized that after a whi
