~.KAERLIA.~I woke up, stretching my limbs as the events of last night rushed to my head. With a flash, I whipped my head to the other side of the bed but there was no one there.Had he left? Or was I too tired to the extent I was hallucinating?The bathroom door opened and my eyes landed on a tall, dark, and handsome Alpha He was wearing a fitted white shirt that hugged his broad chest and showcased his well-defined muscles. The sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, revealing his strong forearms. His chiseled jawline and intense gaze added to his overall appeal, making it hard for me to look away. “Like what you see?” he said with a smirk making me turn red in embarrassment. I always knew Mobali was hot but nowadays he got more and more attractive.I ignored his question, taking my eyes off him as I attempted to get off the bed. I touched my stomach but the pain and the red patch had disappeared.“What? That's impossible, it’s supposed to take longer,” I muttered to myself, raising
~.NOVA.~“You are recovering quickly,” Mayan-odette said with a smile and I looked over to Jannah who held Aesira in her arms cooing at her as Aesira giggled. She had grown bigger than she was when she was born and her features had become more prominent.“Supreme royal babies tend to grow faster than normal royal babies, so do not be surprised if Aesira grows bigger than normal. It’s totally fine.” Jannah chipped in as if reading my mind.I smiled at her, “You are so good with babies, Do you have pups or not yet?” I asked carefully so as not to sound rude. Mayan-Odette was now holding Aesira sitting in a corner in the room.“I do, I have a child, she’s the same age as Dorian and Venus.” I furrowed my brows, but I had never seen any other pups apart from Venus and Dorian. “Where is she though? I don’t think I’ve met her.”“You’ll meet her soon, she’s just been sleeping for lon-”“Your daughter is dead, Jannah,” Mayan- Odette clarified and Jannah growled angrily. “My daughter is not dead
~.KAERLIA.~I groaned in annoyance as I sat on the bench while Visanyos demonstrated some moves to me. I was still sore from last night and Mobali left at dawn as he had said and when the sun shone, Visanyos came barrelling through my door.“Seriously, V, I'm exhausted,” I say with utmost sincerity, resting my back on the bench and closing my eyes to catch some sleep. I had made Hawaii the headmistress of the castle and Ahana as her deputy while Diana was my personal assistant.“Did he fuck you that hard?” I jolted from the bench, collapsing onto the ground and I stared at Visanyos who stood by the bench with an amused look on his face. “H-how did you know that?”My face was red from embarrassment as Visanyos helped me up and I limped to the bench. “Well, I wanted us to have a training session and when i went to your room you weren't there, the guards said you had gone out with the Supreme Alpha and were yet to return. Well, on my way i heard some noises, you weren't exactly quiet-” I
~.AIDAN.~ I stared at the open wound in my palm refusing to heal. It was a wound I got from the shards of the crystal ball and I made my way to Aunt May’s cottage. The images I saw in the crystal ball haunted my memory and my heart clenched at the images. “Aidan, it is you, I smell blood.” Aunt May greeted pulling me inside and onto a chair. She rushed inside coming out with a basket of ointments. “Stretch out your injured hand.” I stretched my hand out and she traced with her finger figuring the bleeding cut. She applied an ointment on my hand and I hissed at the stinging sensation as the ointment made contact with the open wound. The images that had been etched into my memory began to haunt me more as I tried to focus on the pain in my hand. “Can I have some alcohol?” She nods returning into one of the rooms and coming out with a bottle of alcohol in her hand. I took the bottle from her hand and she continued nursing my wound, I took a gulp of the alcohol, the burning sensation r
~. .~The town was alive with activity, and the cloaked figures blended in seamlessly with the bustling crowd. The sun beat down on them as they stood in the center of town, surrounded by humans going about their daily business.Diana wrinkled her nose and made a face. "Humans stink," she commented, her tone unimpressed.Velia couldn't help but chuckle at her friend's reaction, playfully nudging Diana's shoulder. "You should have thought of that before you volunteered to investigate your luna," she teased, holding up a sketch of Farah, the object of their investigation.Diana huffed, her lips forming a pout. "She's not my Luna," she retorted, though the denial was laced with a touch of bitterness.Velia couldn't blame her friend for feeling that way. Farah was a far cry from the compassionate and caring Luna that Diana and the whole werewolf race deserved, and Velia knew that her loyalty belonged to another.Diana's enthusiasm quickly returned as she gushed, "So where do we start? I've
~. .~ As they arrived at Crescent Hills Palace, Karelia's mind was preoccupied with what Velia and Diana had shared about their encounter. "I'll find out more. There's no way we can disrupt the ceremony, so let's focus on gathering clues," she had instructed them before they retired to their respective guest bedrooms. Karelia entered her room cautiously, her senses on high alert. However, her attention was momentarily diverted by the lingering masculine scent that enveloped the room. She summoned her sword, gripping it tightly as she moved stealthily inside. Suddenly, a strong hand encircled her waist, pulling her close and hugging her tightly. "Mo!" she gasped, her sword pointed at his neck, frustration laced in her voice. "Could you stop sneaking up on me? It's really annoying!" Mo's hearty laughter filled the room as he released his hold on Kaerlia, stepping back with his hands raised in surrender. "My apologies, Kaerlia. I couldn't resist surprising you," he s
~. .~ It was the day of the coronation, and everyone was preparing for the grand event. The Countess and her escort from Tasmarei were dressed in royal black attire, while the Supreme Luna Queen-to-be and the Supreme Members were resplendent in vibrant red. All other guests were expected to wear wine-red outfits. Countess Kaerlia's black dress was a remarkable and sophisticated creation. The fitted bodice emphasized her figure, gracefully transitioning into a flowing A-line skirt. The fabric, a lustrous black satin, caught the light in a way that created a subtle shimmer, adding an extra layer of elegance. The dress featured a modest V-neckline adorned with delicate lace details, lending an air of refinement to her ensemble. She wore long sleeves made of sheer black lace, an element that contributed an aura of both mystery and romance to her attire. The back of the dress boasted a plunging V-shaped neckline, providing a hint of allure while preserving an overall sense of gr
~. .~The scene in the grand hall was one of chaos and shock. The Supreme wolves, who had gathered to celebrate the coronation, stood in stunned disbelief as they witnessed the sky turn bloody and portals to hell open, unleashing an army of demons. The once-resplendent event had devolved into a nightmarish spectacle.Mobali, his eyes wide with disbelief, finally found his voice. "Farah, what have you done?" he demanded, his voice a mixture of anger, horror, and disbelief. He couldn't comprehend the scale of devastation unfolding before him.Farah, or rather, the entity that had possessed her body, groaned angrily. Her true nature was now revealed, she raised the scepter high, releasing an eerie transformation. Her raven-dark hair cascaded down, and her eyes turned a haunting shade of crimson. Her red warrior dress symbolized her newfound identity, and she let out a malevolent cackle that sent shivers down the spines of those present."I am tired of hearing that wimpy name!" she declare
