Lavina–POVTwo weeks later, I've been diligently monitoring my health, eager to aid in Archer's recovery. Yet, the doctor forbade any use of magic on him. "I need to see Archer," I insisted, frustration mounting as the doctor barred my approach."Why won't you let me see him?" I demanded, rising from the bed. My agitation mirrored that of my dragon, both of us yearning to be near Archer, yet thwarted by the doctor's steadfast interference."Please, Ms. Lavina, understand. We cannot allow you near Archer. Approaching him would nullify your powers, and the child we've managed to safeguard could be jeopardized," the doctor finally explained, offering a reason that stilled my protests. Rather than arguing further, I turned away, tears brimming as I grappled with my desperation to see Archer. His flirtatious smiles, the warmth of his confessions in his apartment, where he admitted his care for me, all flooded back. I'd sensed a change in Archer, a shift from playful affection to something
Lavina–POVArcher was released from the infirmary after three days; the doctor declared him healthy. I've been staying in the Wolf Realm; fortunately, my grandpa was saved, too. Eden's magic blast destroyed my apartment, but luckily, everyone managed to escape alive. Alice thanked me for the mind link that informed them about it. I typed on my laptop to finish the pending work, and this room resembled a bachelor pad. Archer always wanted me by his side, and genuinely, I wanted to spend time with him as well."Lavi," I turned to see Archer, who had just walked out of the shower. Damn, he was trying to seduce me. Water cascaded down his chiseled abs, and I gulped, my mouth drying. Archer smirked at me, fully aware of his effect on me. Archer approached me and placed a finger under my chin, his thumb tracing my lower lip, his gaze intense upon mine."Tempting," he whispered."What is?" I asked."You," he said huskily."Are you sure I'm the only one who's tempting?" I asked as Archer's ey
Lavina – POV"What's with you being so gloomy?" Alice asked."How can I not be? I'm worried Eden will hurt Archer," I replied as Archer and his team went to capture Eden."Have faith. Archer won't resort to curse magic anymore. He'll capture Eden," Alice assured me."I just want our family to find peace again and feel normal," I added. Alice placed her hand on mine, gently squeezing it to assure me that things would be okay."You know, my maid found a photo album while cleaning my manor," Alice said."Your Dragonland Manor?" I asked. She nodded and then showed me a picture of her parents and mine. As she slowly flipped to the next page, I saw a man who looked like Jacob."Wait!" I startled Alice with my scream."Goodness, woman, you nearly broke my ear," she hissed. I just stared at the picture.“I know this man,” I said. “He is Jacob.” Alice looked at me as if I had gone crazy.“I know this man,” I said. “He is Jacob.” Alice looked at me as if I had gone crazy.“This is our Uncle Geo
Archer–POVJacob, intent on eliminating Raven, has devised a plan to lure him into a trap where an accomplice will attempt to drive an oak stake through Raven's heart. "Never thought we'd see enemies clash like this," Leo remarked as he brought in some food, noticing my undivided attention on the screen during my break."Who do you think will come out on top?" he inquired. "My money's on Raven. I reckon he can see through such plots.""Jacob might still manage to surprise us, even with a plan that's not exactly bulletproof," I responded."I get why you're rooting for Jacob—you're hoping to be the one to take him down," Leo observed, catching on to my deeper motives. A knowing smirk crossed my face; he understood me too well. Leo shook his head at my reaction. Right then, my phone rang. It was Lavi, and I quickly picked up the call."Lavi, how are you?""I'm fine. Where are you?" Lavi's voice came through sternly."I already told you I'm at the office in the Human Realm.""Are you cer
Leo – POV"Let's wait and see," Archer suggested. We returned to the room. Lavi hugged Archer, looking relieved but tense. Archer filled us in on what was happening, and we waited with the TV on, tuned to the vampire news channel, anticipating updates beyond Raven's passing."When will they show the clip?" Alice inquired."Patience," Archer replied, glancing at the clock. At 4:00 pm, breaking news appeared, and Rick's set-up clip played. Archer sighed in relief, happy that things were going according to plan."What about Jacob?" I asked."My team is handling it," Archer answered with a confident smirk. "We need to leave now, Leo," he said before leaving the room."You're quite clever," Lavi complimented, pecking Archer on the cheek. I looked away, feeling awkward. At the Vampire Palace, there was chaos as they searched for Jacob, who I suspected had either run away or been hidden by Archer."What are we doing here?" I asked, but Archer didn't answer. Following him to the basement, I s
Leo – POVStanding at the given address, my heart raced as the familiar scent of lilies surrounded me. The door opened to reveal a middle-aged woman. "I'm Leo Taylor," I introduced myself. "I'm here for Leena.""What business do you have with my daughter?" she asked cautiously."She's my mate," I explained. She looked surprised but stepped aside to let me into my relief."Leena is resting in her room," her mother informed me. "I can't wake her; she needs her rest."While talking, a man approached and asked, "Who was at the door, Mina?" He fell silent as Leena's mother explained who I was and introduced me to her husband."Why didn't you let Leena stay in the infirmary?" I couldn't help but ask, curious about their decision. Her parents exchanged a look, suggesting there was more to the story."After we found out Leena had been found, we requested the doctors to allow us to bring her home for treatment. We wanted our daughter to be with us, at home, not far away. We've been without her
Lavina–POVThe baby is healthy, and we have a new doctor who is taking care of both my health and Alice's. Ella, who was watching over us, felt worried. It was after we learned that Dr. Yasmin, our previous doctor, was involved with the KCA. However, I reassured her by saying, "Ella, don't worry. The KCA isn't a concern anymore."Ella insisted, "It's better to be safe and take precautions."The doctor confirmed, "Both of you and the baby are healthy." He then advised us to continue taking our medicine and monitoring our vitals to maintain our health. After receiving a positive update from the doctor, we left the clinic.Once we were outside, Alice remarked, "It's been so long since the three of us had a girls' night out.""You know how protective our partners can be. They hardly let us go anywhere without them." Alice said. I recalled a recent incident where my Archer wanted to accompany me everywhere, even after I insisted he didn't have to. "He kept pestering me all night," I shared
Leo–POVI saw photos of Archer proposing to Lavina and felt happy seeing them together because they both deserve joy and are perfect for each other. I waited for Leena to get ready, making sure the team had set up the date in Leena's spacious backyard. I found out Leena's parents weren't home from their servant, who informed me. They wanted to give Leena and me some privacy. I was glad that Leena's parents liked me and didn't object to me dating Leena before we considered taking our relationship to the next level.A voice interrupted my thoughts. "Nervous?" I looked up to see Leena wearing a beautiful, elegant dress, looking stunning."Are you nervous?" I echoed her question."Yes," she whispered."Me too," I admitted honestly, and she smiled beautifully at my confession. I pulled out a chair for her, and she sat down at the beautifully set table, illuminated and adorned with white shimmering cloth, creating an elegant atmosphere arranged by the team."It's a beautiful setup you've do
