Eden – POVBreathing heavily, I landed in my office. "I almost got killed by the man I love," I thought to myself. Hastily, I wiped the sweat from my forehead. Gazing at the new crystal ball I had set up after breaking the old one, I sensed an impending call from Jacob, who might be furious. Using my magic, I answered.Jacob's voice was sharp with anger. "What the hell, Eden? Ethan's been captured. He might spill everything."I tried to calm him. "Don't worry, we've never shown our faces to the followers we meet. Your identity won't be compromised," I reassured him, though my voice betrayed my frustration. "I'm sure you've got a contingency plan," I added with a hint of aggression.Jacob's tone shifted to mocking. "Your reckless actions have led us into trouble, dear Luna," he sneered. Anxiety gripped me."What do you mean?" I inquired, fear creeping into my voice.With a deceivingly sweet tone, Jacob delivered the chilling news. "Eden, Ethan saw you. He's given a description. Soon, y
Lavina – POVMy unexpected mate bond with Archer has left me utterly stunned. The idea that a Dragon and a Wolf could be mates was beyond my wildest dreams. Seeing Archer's distressed expression as he hurried out of the room, surrounded by a dangerous aura, filled me with concern. "Archer, where are you going?" I called out, my voice laced with worry. He paused at the door, turning to meet my eyes with a serious look."Lavina, there's something urgent I need to handle. We'll discuss this later," Archer explained before leaving. Alice immediately came to my side, offering her support as I felt my strength wane."What's happening?" I inquired, seeking answers from Alice."You need to rest now," she gently insisted, guiding me back to bed. James and Leo watched over me with concerned eyes."But I need to understand what's going on," I pressed, attempting to sound firm despite the weakness in my voice. Alice met my gaze, hesitating before she spoke."You were caught in a Nightmare spell.
Lavina – POVSeated in the grandeur of the Dragon Palace, I waited anxiously for Ella and Darcus, accompanied by Alice, James, and Leo. Archer's absence weighed heavily on my mind, especially after he didn't respond to James's call. Was he also struggling with the intensity of our mate bond despite having confessed his feelings? I tried to push thoughts of Archer aside, focusing on the matter at hand."I apologize for the delay," Ella said as she entered, her expression weary. Darcus followed, looking equally drained. The scandal involving Keenan and his family had taken its toll on them, especially given Keenan's lineage from the aristocratic echelons of Dragon society. The implications of a high-ranking Dragon collaborating with enemies were deeply troubling."It's okay," I reassured them, understanding their pressure."I regret not being able to check on you sooner. How are you feeling?" Darcus inquired, his concern genuine."I'm fine now," I replied, just as a sudden whirlwind ann
Lavina–POVArcher was immersed in the search for Eden, with Leo assisting the search team. James and Alice remained close by, comforting me as my dragon, Ryu, grew weaker by the day. Dr. Yasmin did her utmost to ensure Ryu's recovery, so I might regain my strength and stand ready against any threat. It seemed as if my ability to withstand magic was fading."Have some tea," Alice offered, settling beside me and gazing into the distance."What's on your mind?" I inquired."The mystery surrounding you... I can't help but wonder who could be behind this," Alice murmured."You never stop thinking," I commented, sipping the warm tea. "You should rest.""Why aren't you curious?" Alice raised an eyebrow, attempting to decipher my thoughts."I'm exhausted," I confessed. Alice's understanding gaze acknowledged the turmoil of uncovering one secret after another. Ella and Darcus had raised several questions about my marriage to Keenan, dredging up memories I preferred to leave unvisited. "I need
Archer – POVI anxiously awaited my troops' return, eager for updates on Eden. Unfortunately, I could not establish contact with the team and Leo. This lack of communication troubled me deeply, especially since their last known location was Merut—a notorious spot in the Mythical realm, known for its KCA hideouts, according to Ethan's intel."What's happening now?" I tried to keep my frustration in check, but my tone betrayed me. As I paced, lost in my thoughts, Alice's call snapped me back to reality. "Archer, my theory was correct," she announced."Did Nancy's mom finally confess?" I inquired, hope flickering in my voice."Yes, she did. A Dragon officer arrested her for aiding her daughter's misdeeds. And there's more—she implicated Dr. Yasmin in the scheme," Alice revealed, her words hitting me like bricks.I froze. "How is Dr. Yasmin involved?" My concern escalated rapidly. "She's been monitoring Lavina's health," Alice explained. The gravity of the situation weighed heavily on me,
Lavina–POV“What are you doing with them, Leo?” My eyes couldn’t process that Leo was also involved with KCA.“Lavina, you don’t need to ask me such a silly question. Just believe it,” Leo remarked. James attacked, but Leo thwarted him, directing James to stay still or he would kill his little girl, Zendaya.“Stay where you are, James, or I will kill your little princess,” Leo warned.“Why are you doing this, Leo?” I asked. “You have your unborn child, and yet you're willing to take the life of a young girl.” Leo sighed at me, his expression one of indifference, his eyes dilated as if under a spell.“Fool,” Eden smiled. “You're not pregnant with Leo’s child.” My eyes snapped to Eden. “I asked Doctor Yasmin to fool you; it’s Archer’s child. I wish I could kill you, but Jacob wants you alive.” Leo didn't react at all.“Have you cast a spell on Leo?” I asked. Eden glared at me, then walked over, yanking me by my hair. I didn’t fight back and followed her for the safety of others, with th
Lavina – POV"Archer, wake up!" I screamed, pain lacing my voice as Leo responded well to my healing magic, regaining his consciousness. But Archer was not responding to my power. "Leo, please wake up," I cried, and Leo slowly opened his eyes, his injuries partially healed by the shifter's power. He looked at me with concern, then at Archer."Oh, shit, Archer!" With a weak body, Leo walked to Archer, lifting him from the ground. With shaky hands and a soft body, I opened a vortex and managed to land in the wolf realm. "Call the doctors now," Leo ordered. Archer's mom and dad arrived at the scene. Just before my legs gave out, Archer's mom steadied me.Leo took Archer to the infirmary, with his dad following behind and Archer's mom helping me to follow. When we reached the hospital, doctors took care of me, bringing my energy back, and attended to Archer's healing. I stood up as Alice, James, Ella, and Darcus came to check on us. James was about to have Leo arrested, but I explained th
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
