Bellona Pov“The annual ball is coming up,” he said. I breathe out, slamming my forehead. How can I forget such a thing? The annual ball ceremony is when all supernaturals gather, it’s the supernatural elders that organize it. This is when most kings and queens form allies. That is where I met the fae king and queen, the fairies and the witches. I remember my first ball three years ago. My coronation was like 3 weeks old. Everyone wanted to meet me. They wanted to know the person who stopped that war and I am sure some were quite surprised to know it was just a small girl. If I was to calculate my age forgetting I was born again, I should be like 19 or 20 years old, so it was a shock for them. Well, I carried myself with lots of grace and elegance. That is why king Orion was attracted to me. The fucker thought he could bewitch me with his vampire spell, but I proved him wrong. The ball was quite hard for me because I was younger than most of them, so they didn’t really want to tak
Bellona PovWe all stare at Anastacia, confused. I had so many thoughts running through my head, but the dominant one is how big of a fool I am. I let this cunning woman come in between my mate and I, so it was all a plan, a plan to deceive me and take me away from the thing I cherished the most. A loud, angry growl cut me out of my thoughts. I watched as Silver ran to her, his claws wrapped around her neck tightly. I just stood there watching him as he choked her to death. She was turning all shades of blue, but I didn’t move an inch because deep down I wanted her to be punished like that.“I can’t believe this. All this while, you deceived me and rubbed me off my time with the people I love. All for your selfish interest! Of course, moon goddess can never pair me with you because she knows you are a disgusting piece of shit!” he yelled, tightening his hold. She struggled with him while Ria started crying.“He is going to choke her to death,” Axel said, carrying Ria out of my arms an
Bellona PovI got to my quarters, and it’s only the pups and teachers that are here. “Your majesty” he greets, bowing. “Did Beta Silver come around?” I asked.“No, your majesty,” he replied. I nod my head, looking at Dean and Archie, and they look serious. Well, I gave the teacher the permission to punish them if they don’t take their lessons seriously. I teleport to my office and nobody is here either.“Daniel, come to my office,” I mind link, sitting on my chair.“Okay,” he replied. I look outside the window from my chair, waiting for Daniel. After a few minutes, he came. I turned to him.“Have any idea where Silver went?” I asked. “No,” he said, sitting on the chair. I breathe out, nodding. I don’t even want to go to his quarters.“News has spread out about Anastacia’s betrayer,” he said. My mouth hung open.“That just took place like 10 minutes ago. How come everyone is aware of it?” I asked, shocked. I knew it would spread, but not this fast.“Anastacia tried to beg Silver, bu
Bellona PovI stand in front of the mirror, admiring my mark. It’s just how it looked years ago, but this time around, our wolves are bigger and there is a crown on our heads. I feel lighter and happy. I know it’s because of the bond. I smiled, remembering our last night’s activities. We both had gone on two rounds before Lila and Shadow decided to grace us with their presence, but after everything he marked me, sealing the bond, and I couldn’t be happier. Today, however, Silver and I have decided to tell Archie and Dean about us and him being their father. I don’t know how their reaction will be, especially Archie, but I hope it’s good because they like Silver. I left the mirror, going into the shower. Silver woke up before me and he had already taken his bath because he wanted to wake Archie and Dean up by himself and also dress them up. This time around, I hope they won’t mess up the bathroom. I took my bath and after bathing I threw on comfy clothes. Well, I just want to stay a
Bellona PovIt has been a week since our blissful reunion. Now I am fully back at the office. I can’t even imagine the pile of paperwork I have to handle, but thankfully I have Silver with me. I have been teaching him his duties as a king. I have not fixed a date on when he will be crowned, though, but it has to be before the annual ceremony. He will follow me there as my mate and king. We got to the office and wow.“You guys did this?” I asked, turning to Axel and Daniel. “Yes, since you guys have marked each other, technically it means he is our king, so we had to do this,” Daniel said. I smiled, looking at the office. It usually used to be one table and two chairs in the front, but now it’s gone. It’s now a much bigger conjoined table with two black chairs in the back of it and 4 for the guests. They redecorated the office with brown curtains, a red couch, and a cupboard filled with books. Spacious and professional.“I like it. What about you?” I asked Silver.“It’s nice,” he said
Bellona PovI stood in front of the ballroom that was filled with so many people. Today is a day of celebration, as the werewolf kingdom will finally get their king. Everyone is quite excited and the entire kingdom has been celebrating. I invited people, including the past alphas and lunas, and for the people who can’t make it to the ceremony are either watching from their homes or they are outside, whichever way we are all happy. I smiled as Daniel walked in wearing his new golden armor that signifies he was the new head warrior of the werewolf kingdom. Everyone started murmuring as he walked towards me. They were either murmuring because of his shiny golden armor or because of the tons of other warriors matching behind him. When he got closer, he kneeled in front of me and everyone quieted down. I took the bowl and knife and stood in front of him.“Repeat after me,” I said. “I, Daniel Jones,” I said. “I, Daniel Jones,” he repeated. “Promise to keep the werewolf kingdom safe and a
Bellona PovWe are done with the crowning and now everyone is just having fun. Mother left immediately she crowned him and so many were clearly disappointed. They wanted to see her more. But she had to leave. The next time they would see her is the next crowning ceremony which is not coming in the next fifteen years. King Atlas and his wife walked over to us and I was happy to see Princess Elma and her other half and kids with them. They look so happy and relieved and honestly; I am happy for them. “Congratulations, your majesties,” he said, bowing along with his family. We also bowed slightly. “Thank you, King Atlas. How is your kingdom?” I asked, smiling. They smile and you can see how genuine the smile is. “Things went back to normal after you left. We have had no vampire attacks except one time, but the powder she made chased them off and since then things have been peaceful,” he said. “That is really good news,” I said. “Yes, it’s all thanks to you and your kingdom. And the
Bellona Pov“Where are the pups?” I asked, standing up. Dean, Archie and Zira are not in the swarm of pups playing around on the dance floor. Silver also stood up, and it seemed everyone heard me over the soft music playing because everywhere was suddenly quiet. “Oh no, where did they go?” Lillian said, running to the dance floor, worried about lacing her tone. I carried my big ball gown in my hand, running down the small staircase. Silver followed behind, but I couldn’t sniff them out because everybody’s scent was just everywhere. “Spread out and find the princes and princess!” a guard yelled and there was an uproar in the ballroom but I just ran outside, my heart beating twice as fast. Nobody better touches them or somebody is going to die horribly and I mean it. But how can they just disappear with no one knowing?“Let’s look this way,” Silver said, holding my hand. I followed in the direction that he said, with Lillian and Kyle behind us, but it just seemed we were running in a
Five Years LaterBellona Pov“Hayden!” I yelled, running around the house. I heard soft footsteps running around the dinning.“We do not have time for this. The ball is in a few hours!” I yelled, running around the dinning. I saw Hunter running to the hallway, but before he could move, I froze him. Then I turned around, and I saw Hayden and I also froze him. I breathed out in relief, walking to Hayden and Silver came inside with Dean. “They are not dressed yet?” he asked, shocked. He and Dean left us like 2 hours ago to make sure things were okay in the ballroom. He thought when he came back they would be dressed, but those two are the most energetic pups ever. Archie was not even that troublesome, but these two always make sure to keep me on my toes.“They have been running around since,” I said, carrying Hayden.“I don’t want to celebrate my birthday,” he whined.“Well, you have to. That is why you are a prince,” I said.“No birthdays,” he said, trying to sneak out of my arms.“Hayd
Third Person PovThe breeze blows gently against the high walls of the werewolf kingdom, the soft rain beating down the earth gently. It was a full moon tonight and everyone was in their homes, cuddled up with their mates and families. The night has been a long night for the people staying close to the palace as their queen has gone into labor since early morning. Everyone is worried and anxious as the queen cries of labor bounced off the palace walls. Werewolves’ births don’t usually take this long, but she has been in labor for more than 12 hours and, as each hour goes by, her screams are becoming more painful and filled with agony. Asher, Lillian and the pups are outside of the ward, and they are all pacing nervously. She has been in labor since and none of the child has come out, when the pain became unbearable for her Misha appeared. It’s like she just knew her struggles and she has been here since, helping her with the childbirth.“Why is it taking so long?” Bellona breathes
Third Person PovIt’s been a few hours since the war happened in the vampire kingdom and they are yet to be back. The time should be around 6 in the morning. Silver and the pups had freshened up, and Lillian cooked for them. They are waiting for Octavia to come back but Silver is itching to tell her about Asher but he can’t because she has to see him herself. She asked of Zira but he told her she was with Axel. He wondered what her reaction would be to Asher, but Silver knew it wouldn’t be good. “Why are you acting weird?” Lillian asked for the 100th time, looking at Silver puzzled. She noticed her brother has been pacing away quite a lot and also stealing glances at her.“I am not,” he replied. “Why are you looking at me weird, then? Is Zira okay?” she asked, looking at him. Silver shook his head, and Lillian cursed herself. She should have just followed them to the war, but Octavia didn’t allow her. She didn’t even allow her near the conference room when they were discussing the w
Trigger Warning almost at the end of the chapter!Third Person Pov“Missed me?” he asked, the familiar smirk still on his face. Bellona could not believe her eyes, no she refused to believe what she was seeing. I must be dreaming, she thought, pinching herself hard, hard enough to sting her to the bone, but she was not waking up from the dream. She closed her eyes, hoping they were not playing tricks on her, but when she opened it, he was still standing in front of her.“Asher,” she whispered, her voice filled with shock. The last time she saw him was in the cell and the next thing she heard of him was he was dead. Was he alive all this while? But she noticed another thing. He has changed, his hair is darker and longer. His ears are longer and sharp, he is taller and muscular. What shocked her was the giant black wings behind him. Instead of hands, he had claws and two long and fat horns sitting by the two angles of his head. His aura is also dark, like death, and when she smelled him,
Bellona PovIt has been 6 days since the death of Daniel. After Lillian was done with him, the warriors burnt his body and I think everyone respects Lillian better now. Well, that is the thing about us. To earn respect, you have to prove it and Lillian has proven herself of that respect. I did not tell Silver about his last words because I feel it’s irrelevant. He is already dead, so it’s better everyone move on from the betrayal and I think we all did because nobody is talking about him again. I stand in front of the mirror, looking at myself. The time is 4 ‘0 clock in the evening and we are about to move because we plan on attacking them in the night. Am I happy about this attack? Yes, I am. And why am I happy? Because in a few hours time I am going to kill a certain king and I don’t care how it will affect our kingdoms, he bit more than he can chew so he should expect the consequences.“We are waiting for you,” Silver voice cut me out of my thoughts. “Can you help me with this am
Bellona Pov“Yes, Daniel is a spy working for Malcom,” she said. My mouth hung opened in shock. Daniel? A spy? That can’t be possible.“Misha, are you sure? Daniel has been working for me for a long time,” I said. “He is working for you and also not working for you. He is part of the men that were working for Marcus. His loyalty lies with him,” she said. I tried to think of one time Daniel’s behavior was suspicious, but I can’t even think of one. He always seems like the protective big brother, but he has been betraying me all this while? My mouth opened and closed and no words came out. But I wanted to know something.“He also knew about the kidnapping?” I asked, feeling betrayed.“Yes, part of the people who suggested it,” she said, and my heart broke into pieces. This is the ultimate betrayal. I cared for him and treated him like a brother. I gave him whatever he asked of me, as long as he asked, but how could he betray me like this and he did it so well I didn’t even suspect him
Bellona PovWe entered her hut and took our seats in her special room. She sat in front of us and looked at Silver.“Glad to finally meet you,” she said, bowing a little. We both look at her. She doesn’t know him before. She must have just heard of him. “Glad to meet you too,” Silver said politely. She smiled.“Do you want to see your pups?” she asked. “Yes, we will love to,” I said. “Okay, face the mirror, ‘’ she said. I faced the blank mirror, and she flicked her arm and they appeared in the mirror. I smiled as I looked at the three of them. They are sitting on the bed, playing. They are surrounded by so many toys and they look healthy. I breathe out, relieved. They are perfectly okay and I can’t even see any injury to them.“Told you that picture was fake. They don’t even look like someone kidnapped them. They look so relaxed,” I said, smiling happily.“Your pups have been raining hell on them, especially Archie,” Misha said, and my smile widened. I expected nothing less from the
Bellona PovIt has been three days since I got back and not much has changed but today, however; I am on a mission to find Misha. The seal is enchanted, so if she can help me get the location, that would be awesome. Then I will get my pups and also rain hell on Orion. That plan sounds simple, but I know it’s not. I just hope Misha won’t start with her ridiculous game. I am a pregnant woman, so I hope that will stop her.“You ready?” Silver voice cut me out of my thoughts. I adjusted my gown, would have preferred to wear trousers, but I am bloated so nope.“Yes,” I said, walking out of the closet.“So, will your witch friend find the seal?” he asked. “Yes,” I replied.“How long have you known her for?” he asked, taking something off the wall.“Thousands of years? What is that?” I asked, looking at the iron log he pulled from the wall.“It’s a sword,” he said, bringing it out of the iron case. I looked at the sword, it looks lightweight and small, but the blades are looking incredibly
Bellona PovI chuckled, looking at him.“Me? Why would he want me after I turned him down millions of times and I think we all know I can’t just be tamed,” I said, rolling my eyes.“That is what I thought, until he sent this,” he said, giving me a picture. I looked at it and it was the pups. They were tied up in a chair and three vampires with long canines were beside them. I looked at their faces and it was red and swollen, like they had been crying. They were also bloody like they had been beaten. But something about this picture doesn’t add up. “This is quite interesting,” I said, looking at the picture. I can feel shocked faces on me. I looked at Zira and her eyes were blue, but I knew it is red. Archie can’t be tied up. He has powers and I know he can defend himself. Dean looks beaten and worn out and his eyes look bigger and red in tears, but the Dean I know has smaller eyes and he won’t cry outside no matter what someone does to him. I rolled my eyes, burning the picture.“Why
