~. .~With swift and determined movements, Mobali dived into the lake, his powerful arms propelling him through the water.'Must save mate.' His wolf kept saying in his mind. He reached Kaerlia's sinking form and quickly pulled her up to the surface. Her unconscious body felt limp in his arms.The others watched anxiously from the shore, their expressions filled with concern. Venus, in particular, looked on with worry etched across her face.Mobali carefully cradled Kaerlia in his arms as he swam back to the shore. Gently, he laid her on the ground, her wet clothes clinging to her battered body. He checked for signs of life, relieved to find that she was still breathing, albeit weakly."We need to get her to the infirmary," Mobali said, his voice filled with urgency. "She's in bad shape, and she needs medical attention."Hawaii nodded, her worry deepening. "I'll go ahead and prepare the healers. They need to be ready for her arrival." Mobali carefully lifted Kaerlia and rush
~.MOBALI.~Let's hear you." I spat, taking a sip of water and blaming the glass on the bedside table glaring at Visanyos.He walked closer to Kaerlia placing a hand on her forehead, "It's not a regular vegetative state.""Elaborate. ""Kaerlia is in a divine vegetative state, she is acquiring all her powers which is why no treatment is working on her, she'll heal herself." Visanyos said, making me sigh and stare at Kaerlia."When will she wake up?""No one knows how long a divine vegetative state lasts. It differs." I rubbed my temple in frustration, returning to my seat while the duo watched me.The room was filled with a heavy silence as the weight of the situation settled in. I couldn't help but feel a mix of relief and worry at Visanyos's explanation. While knowing that Kaerlia was in a divine vegetative state offered hope for her eventual recovery, the uncertainty of how long it would last was a burden on my shoulders.Visanyos continued, "She's strong, Mobali. This is her body's
~. .~"Hm, Dyare..they aren't complete." "Apologies, great one, but the Victor is in a vegetative state." Lady Dyare explained to the moon goddess and she hummed."I'll take my leave now, " Lady Dyare said as she vacated the palace. Silence enveloped the surroundings as the moon goddess was lost in thought."Your greatness, what is Kaerlia? She isn't like any werewolf?" Jannah asked, her curiosity getting the best of her. The Moon Goddess standing on her throne directed them to a hallway."Walk with me. "As they walked, the supremes stared outside to see people with huge wings flying around, some sparring."Angels..""There was a time when angels resided with me, the creator of the Lycans and Werewolves.When I created these creatures I gifted each of them with a guardian angel. The guardian angel was to protect them and relay their requests to me.Khionevara, who you know as Khione; Kaerlia's mother was one of my precious angels who was sent to earth as a guardia
~.VELIA.~I stood in front of the palace with several maids waiting behind me. Some council members stood at the left as we all waited for the arriving carriages."Your Highness," One of the guards called out, making me look up. He was standing in the watchtower of the palace wall. "Their carriage is arriving soon." I nodded.I took a good look at my dress making sure there were no creases. "For welcoming your brother and his mate, you seem self-conscious and nervous."My eyes snapped to Mayan-Odette as she stood beside me, her grip tightening on her stick and her sightless eyes focused on the gates. "Velia, relax."I nodded, even though I knew she couldn't see me, I took a deep sigh as a horn blew and the gates flew open granting passage of the carriages and horses.I spotted him, riding on one of the horses and conversing with the guards, Eron. His blonde with green streak hair was slicked backward and his eyes lit up as he laughed at something the guards said, then they fell on..me
~.AIDAN.~Even in sleep, she still had a gracious look and was very beautiful. I held her hand in mine caressing it and it twitched.I looked at her face for any signs and her eyebrow twitched. I gasped, clasping her hand tight and her eyelids opened revealing her eyes.Those icy blue eyes."I feel safe when you stare at me with your icy blue eyes," I said with a chuckle as her eyes rested on me before roaming around the room.She sat up, I released my grip from her hand and she held her head with a contorted look. "Do you need-""It's okay, I'm fine." Her voice came out raspy, she had been unconscious for days so a headache was normal.The door pried open to reveal Mobali walking in with a tray of food in his hand; his lunch. As his eyes landed on Kaerlia, he dropped the lunch on the nearest table and walked to her."Mo!" she exclaimed as she jumped from the bed and into his arms. My eyes widened in surprise and Mobali mirrored my expression."Kaerlia." He replied hugging her back,
~. VENUS.~I giggled running around the field as the horses ran along with me. "Venus! I've told you to stop playing around with the horses! It's dangerous!" the stableman yelled at me."Sorry, Mr Brunes! The horses won't harm me."The stableman, Mr. Brunes, let out a frustrated sigh as he tried to catch his breath. "Venus, you're a spirited one, but you must remember that horses are strong animals, and they can be unpredictable."I slowed down and approached him with a sheepish grin. "I promise, Mr. Brunes, I'll be more careful."He shook his head with a wry smile. "You remind me so much of the Luna , always fearless around these animals. Just promise me you'll exercise caution, alright?"I nodded eagerly. "I promise, Mr. Brunes. I'll be careful."He patted my shoulder affectionately. "That's a good girl. Now, let's get these horses back to their stalls."As we led the horses back to the stables, I couldn't help but feel a deep connection to these magnificent creatures. The bond bet
~. .~The day of the banquet had arrived and Kaerlia was fully recovered. She sat by the bedside table in her chambers as her ladies-in-waiting dressed her up."The celebration is for you and the supreme females for victory and it's also Prince Aidan's birthday." Ahana said to Kaerlia and she hummed at the information.Kaerlia looked stunning as her ladies-in-waiting prepared for her the banquet. Her choice of attire was a striking red and black dress that accentuated her grace and elegance. The dress was a harmonious blend of these two bold colors which was also the color of royalty."The supreme females will also be wearing the same colors as you," Hawaii announced."That's great, " The bodice of the dress was a deep, rich red that hugged her figure in all the right places. It had intricate lace detailing that added a touch of sophistication. The sweetheart neckline framed her collarbone delicately, emphasizing her graceful neck.The skirt of the dress flowed down from
~.NOVA.~Everything hurts.I scrunch my nose at the sight of the so-called breakfast that Yolanda had brought up to The Supreme Beta's bedchamber where I mostly resided."Is this for the horses or what?" I snapped, Yolanda staring at me baffled."Your Highness, it's your breakfast."I scoffed gazing at the food and then at Yolanda. "You're kidding, take that away."Yolanda hurriedly whisked the unappetizing breakfast away, her eyes wide with concern. I had been feeling more than just physical pain lately; the weight of my responsibilities as The Supreme Beta Female was becoming unbearable.I swung my legs over the edge of the ornate bed, letting out a weary sigh. "Yolanda?." But instead, Dwayne walked in with his hands in his pockets."Nova." I smiled at him and he placed a kiss on my forehead, brushing my hair off her face."I saw your breakfast was untouched, why?" I rolled my eyes. "You don't expect me to eat horse food.""That's not a nice thing to say, baby. You seem off this mor
~. THREE YEARS LATER.~The grand celebration of the twin pups' third birthday filled the palace with joy and laughter. The twins stood together, side by side, staring at the birthday cake in front of them, adorned with three flickering candles.As the room echoed with cheerful voices wishing them a happy birthday, Mobali stepped up to a podium, his proud gaze fixed on the twins. "It's been three years since the great battle," he began, his voice strong and full of pride. "It's been three years since Queen Kaerlia, my mate, brought these two amazing pups into the world. I am proud to be their father. A toast to the prince and princess!"With a raise of his glass, everyone in the room followed suit, their glasses clinking together in a heartfelt toast. "A toast!" they chorused, and the celebration continued in earnest.The twins, Alarik and Alora, looked at each other and then shared a grin. Alarik Xevekiah King, with his pure white hair and ocean blue eyes, was the firstborn. He was kno
~.KAERLIA .~I kept breathing into the paper bag as I could feel my insides churning. I was already nauseous and the day hadn't even begun.“I need another paper bag,” I mutter to Diana who ignores me and keeps massaging my shoulders. “Just take deep breaths, and calm down.” It was easier said than done.“The outfit is here!” I gasped, standing up from my seat as Laurel walked in with my dress in her hand. I smiled as I walked into the closet and Velia and Diana helped me put it on.The base of the gown was a rich, deep shade of royal blue, akin to the vast, starry night sky. It shimmered with a subtle luminescence as if tiny stars were embedded within the fabric itself. The gown was designed to flow gracefully around my figure, accentuating my natural elegance and poise. The bodice was adorned with intricate embroidery, resembling delicate lacework that mirrored the intricate patterns of frost on a winter morning. It sparkled with tiny crystal beads that caught the light, creating
~. .~With her new wings and reinvigorated determination, Kaerlia swiftly materialized to Crescent Hills. Hovering over Mobali's lifeless body, she channeled her newfound power and the grace of the Moon Goddess to bring him back from the brink of death."Kaerlia," Mobali whispered as life coursed back into him, his eyes filled with a mix of relief and devotion.With a warm smile, Kaerlia brushed her fingers across his cheek. "I need you and the guys to help me out."Mobali nodded, realizing the gravity of the situation. With renewed strength and resolve, Kaerlia soared toward Liliana, who was standing on top of a cliff staring boredly at the destruction she created. She confronted the demon queen, her fiery sword blazing with determination."Liliana!" Kaerlia's voice rang out through the chaos, echoing across the battlefield. Liliana turned to face her, a wicked smile on her lips."Ahh, little freak, you're still alive, and you got new wings," Liliana taunted, her
~. .~“Kaerlia.”“Kaerlia.”“Wake up.”As Kaerlia's eyes fluttered open, she found herself in a serene, otherworldly place. White flowers adorned the landscape, and ethereal trees stood with creatures soaring among them. The moon hung large and close in the sky, casting a gentle glow over everything. Kaerlia felt an overwhelming sense of peace, and her body was no longer stained with blood. She was dressed in a beautiful white gown adorned with delicate lace, her white hair flowing freely around her.A soft, familiar voice called her name, and she turned to find the source. Her eyes locked onto another pair of eyes, eyes she thought she would never see again."Mom?" Kaerlia asked with tears in her eyes, her voice quivering with emotion as she ran to embrace Khione, her mother."Oh, my baby, stop crying. You've been crying a lot lately," Khione comforted her, patting Kaerlia's back as she held her close."Mom, but I thought you were dead," Kaerlia said, her voice filled with
~. .~In the dark and eerie throne room of Liliana, the wails of tormented souls echoed ominously, creating an unsettling atmosphere. Mobali and the others, including Aidan, materialized in this sinister place, surrounded by the malevolent presence of demons.Liliana, seated upon her throne of skulls, greeted them with a chilling smile. Mobali's eyes blazed with anger as he looked at Aidan, who stood beside Liliana, his head bowed in submission.“Aidan, you side with her?”"He has no choice, Mobali," Liliana taunted, her voice dripping with wicked satisfaction.Mobali's gaze turned back to Liliana. "I wasn't talking to you, demon," he spat, his voice laced with a mix of rage and frustration. Liliana, being a demon herself, remained unfazed by his alpha authority, which would have affected a werewolf.As Mobali frantically scanned the room for Kaerlia, Liliana harnessed her dark powers. The ground rumbled, and Kaerlia emerged from a fissure in the floor. She was bound in si
~. MOBALI.~As I wake up, the bright light from the window hits my eyes. I run my hand through Kaerlia's side of the bed, but it's cold. I jolt, sniffing the room. Her scent has faded, which means she has been gone for hours, possibly days.How long have I been asleep?I look at the bedside table, and there lies a piece of paper. I pick it up and read its contents, "Dear Mobali, by the time you're reading this letter, it could have been days since I left for hell. I'm sorry, but I can't sit back and watch the werewolf race crumble. Please don't come after me, and I love you." I grip hard onto the piece of paper.Rising from the bed, I took a quick shower and dressed in my armor. Anger and determination coursed through my veins. I had to find her, I had to bring her back. How could she? How couldn't she see through Liliana’s plots? My heart clenched at the thought of her being dead already. "Guards! Open this door!" I roared, pounding on the unyielding brass doors. But the guards on th
~. .~Kaerlia managed to sneak out of the palace without anyone spotting her. The demons she encountered outside didn't attack her, rather they guided her to the path of the portal.Screeches echoed as she walked down the path, the horrid sounds of the demons and the undead ringing. The portal to Hell stood as a formidable, eerie gateway, a tear in the fabric of reality itself. It exuded an ominous and foreboding aura as if it were a maw to a world of unimaginable darkness and torment.The portal's frame was jagged and uneven, like fractured obsidian, emitting a faint, malevolent crimson glow. Within the opening, darkness extended infinitely, and an eerie, suffocating heat radiated from the abyss beyond. Distorted, ghostly silhouettes writhed and shifted within the portal, casting unsettling shadows and contributing to its sinister ambiance.As Kaerlia stood before the portal, it pulsed with otherworldly energy, beckoning her to enter. The air around it seemed to warp and
~. .~Liliana's sinister smile widened as Kaerlia rushed to attack her. But before Kaerlia could reach her, Liliana swiftly wielded her dark powers. With a wave of her hand, she conjured silver chains laced with potent wolfsbane, which wrapped around Kaerlia's legs. The moment the silver touched her skin, Kaerlia whimpered in excruciating pain, her limbs growing weak."You forget you're half-werewolf, and silver is one of your weaknesses," Liliana taunted, her voice dripping with cruelty. Kaerlia could barely manage to speak or cry out as she tumbled to the ground, completely immobilized and suffering from the agony of the silver and wolfsbane.Even though she wasn't fully a werewolf, she couldn't help but be immobilized by the silver.“What do you want? Why are you doing this? The whole werewolf race is in chaos because of you.”In response to Kaerlia's pleading questions, Liliana remained callous. "I'm making it feel like home. Why am I doing this? Because of you, you a
~. .~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
