Flameheart When Gunther gave me the flash drive, I thought it was some important findings concerning our current investigation. I just did not expect it to be something even much better!This is the surveillance footage of the airport about ten minutes ago. You will not believe who is in this video. My mate! Well, I do not know her name but I know her face. And the children, goddess! They both resemble me in one way or the other. "Gunther, we are going to the airport!" I announce as I start striding toward the door already. I sit at the wheel and whiz my way through traffic toward the last spit where my mate was spotted. If luck is on my side, we will get there before she leaves, if not, then I will comb this whole city upside down till I find my family!A distance that I would normally cover in fifteen minutes, I covered in six minutes. Jamming on the brakes, I leap out of the car and start checking all the exits. Then I catch a whiff of the most alluring scent in the whole world a
FlameheartThe reason why I chose to stay behind when Gunther took the kids back to their mother was not because I did not want to meet her. The truth is, I was so shaken that I did not trust myself at all. My wolf was pushing forward and I was losing control. Hence, I stayed back to calm my flailing nerves. Where would I start upon meeting my mate? What would I say and would she be accommodating? What if she does not want to see me? I remember vividly how she could not even bother to look at me seven years ago. Even when I promised to look for her, she just hummed in response without bothering to spare me a glance. It was easier to think about her before since I had no idea where in the world she was. Even when my agents sent me her pictures and possible location, I could handle it since she was not near. Now that she is in close proximity, I am suddenly developing cold feet. I let out a humorless chuckle when I think about everything. I am the dreaded Alpha King and a well respec
Flameheart For a moment, Gunther, Athena, and I just gape at Sapphire incredulously. Does this girl even know that her mother and I are far from even being considered partners? We only share the two of them as well as the mate bond which only I recognize. If Athena were to find out my true identity, she might just take the kids and flee. And here, my daughter thinks we are already on the stage of giving her a sibling. She has no idea how complicated our relationship is. If we can even call it a relationship at that. Athena is the first to recover and smoothen out the awkwardness. She reaches for Sapphire's hand across the table and pats it before saying, "Listen, sweetie, your dad and I, are okay with you two, for now. He never got the chance to spend time with you. It would be grossly unfair for you two and him if we get a baby now. Babies need ultra care. We will both be occupied by the baby that we might barely have time for you. However, I don't think it would be a problem s
FlameheartWe both look at our daughter and smile. For me, it is a huge relief. Although I know that I have to tell Athena about my true identity and the fact that we are fated mates, I am not ready. Even if it means postponing it just for a few hours, I am more than happy to do that. It will give me ample time to gather the courage. I need to get myself ready for a downright rejection as well. In case Athena freaks out, I will be ready for it thus making the impact less torturous. Everything has been happening way too fast. I was going to look for her when I was ready but she came looking for me instead. The truth is I did not expect it. Anyway, since she is already here, there is no backing down. She has to know before it is too late. "Daddy, please come and read us a bedtime story. Mommy has always been the one to do that., Now it's your turn." Sapphire says as she drags me out of the study. I turn my head and look at Athena silently pleading but she just shrugs and giggles. Ho
Flameheart Athena almost causes me a heart attack with her request. How do I morph into my beast now? I am the legendary lycan. If I shift into my beast here, I will attract a lot of enemies. I take a deep breath and exhale slowly. Honestly, today has been quite exhausting. I did not stay long at the office but meeting my mate and children has taken a toll on me. I am yet to adjust and here I am, being plunged into a dilemma. If I refuse, she will get mad. If I accept, I will put them in the line of danger. As it is, I am at a crossroads. On one hand, I want to come clean to my mate, on the other hand, I do not want to attract our enemies to my location. Once I shift to my true form in this place, it's inevitable that the witches and vampires will know. "Take her to Blue Bay Villa. It is fortified." Emberwing,my wolf, decides to come to my rescue at the last moment. I am grateful for his suggestion. It had completely evaded my mind. The Villa was fortified by my father's be
Athena Everything has been progressing faster than I assumed it would. I did not think I would cope with the turnout of events but surprisingly, I did pretty well. When we arrived in Sunshine City, I was hoping to settle down first before looking for Dale, now widely known as Flameheart. When I asked the cab driver to take me to the best and most hospitable hotel, I did not expect him to take me to Flameheart Towers hotel. Upon seeing the glamorous place, the kids fell in love with it. Against my better judgment, I decided to book a place there. Unfortunately, the place is not easy to access. The rules make it even harder for just anybody to stay at the hotel. Not that I am complaining. Every place has standards to keep. When the lady at the reception told me that it was impossible to get a place on the spot, I secretly heaved a sigh of relief. I thought that things were gradually turning out the way they should have. However, I did not expect it to be far from the case. My kid
Athena When I overheard Flameheart narrating the story of the wolf to the kids, I just knew that he was talking about himself. The more I listened, the clearer everything became. Even the mystery of the bite mark turned tattoo on my neck was solved. He is a werewolf. I thought that werewolves, witches, and vampires existed only in fairy tales. Little did I know that they dwell among us like any normal human. Instead of getting scared and wanting to run away, the knowledge made me feel even more drawn to him than before. Besides, according to what I overheard, I am his fated mate. Although the circumstances that led to our meeting were wrong, our meeting was fated. The more he explained to the kids, the more at ease I felt. I looked forward to when he would open up fully to me without any fear of rejection. I do not know how, but somehow I could feel that he is scared that I would refuse to be with him. It made me see just how vulnerable he was around me. When I demanded he to
Athena Emberwing has to be the naughtiest wolf around. He is much more daring than his human, Flameheart. He made out with me with so much ease that it felt just right. When we kissed, it was so flawless and in sync as if we had done this numerous times. However, before things escalated Aiden intervened. I felt embarrassed to an extent. It felt as if I just cheated on him in his presence. I know that I am not making sense but that is just how I felt. What I have observed about Flameheart is that he is strangely reserved and he is unsure of where I stand. Unfortunately, no matter how hard I try to be composed around him, it is not working. Although I have just met him, it feels as if I have been with him all my life. Try as I can, I cannot drive away the desire to be entangled with him. The mark is not making things easier for me. A simple touch from him arouses the deepest need for sexual gratification in me. A hunger that I know only he can satiate. However, his laid-back at
Author's POV Years later, Flameheart stood atop a majestic mountain, the winds whipping gently around him as he gazed out over the sprawling lands of the New Royal Crescent Moon Pack. The terrain below was a breathtaking panorama of lush forests, rolling hills, and glistening rivers that danced in the sunlight. It was a land transformed, flourishing under the care and unity of their pack.Beside him stood Athena, her presence as grounding as the earth beneath their feet. Her hair flowed in the breeze, catching the light like spun gold, and her eyes sparkled with a fierce pride that made Flameheart’s heart swell. Their children played nearby, their laughter echoing through the valleys like a sweet melody, a sound that filled him with an overwhelming sense of joy.“Look how far we’ve come,” Athena said, her voice filled with emotion, as she watched their children chase each other, their spirits as wild and free as the wind. “From the ashes of our struggles to this beautiful life we’ve
Flameheart A grand ceremony was held to celebrate my victory over Ambrosia, and the atmosphere crackled with excitement and reverence. The air was thick with anticipation as beings of all kinds gathered under the twilight sky, their diverse forms shimmering in the fading light. Witches in flowing robes, vampires with their elegant demeanor, and shifters radiating raw energy filled the clearing, creating a vibrant tapestry of unity. Lanterns adorned with intricate designs hung from trees, casting a warm glow that illuminated the faces of the gathered crowd.I stood at the center of it all, flanked by Athena and our children, who beamed with pride. The sight of my family brought a swell of emotion to my chest. “Today, we honor not just my triumph, but the resilience of our pack,” I proclaimed, my voice ringing out clear and strong, echoing through the gathering. My gaze swept across the crowd, taking in the hopeful faces and the understanding nods. “Our future shines bright because of
Author's POV With the pack thriving, Flameheart and Athena stood atop a newly built platform, a sturdy structure crafted from timber and stone that overlooked the gathering of their kin. The platform symbolized not only their resilience but also the promise of a brighter future. Below them, the landscape was alive with energy; the air buzzed with excitement as pack members animatedly shared visions for their future, their voices blending into a harmonious chorus of hope.Flameheart surveyed the crowd, a sea of familiar faces, each one reflecting the journey they had undertaken together. He felt a swell of pride in his chest, knowing how far they had come. “Unity is our strength,” he declared, his voice booming with conviction, resonating through the assembly. “Together, we will forge alliances with the other factions, witches, vampires, shifters. Our diversity is our power.” The words hung in the air like a promise, igniting a fire within the hearts of those who heard him.Athena sto
Athena Under the twinkling stars, I stood by the tranquil lake, the moon casting a silvery glow that danced across the water’s surface. The gentle lapping of the waves against the shore created a soothing rhythm, and the cool night air carried the fragrance of blooming night jasmine, filling me with a sense of calm. Here, I felt Seraphim’s spirit, gentle yet powerful, enveloping me in a warm embrace, whispering secrets of strength and wisdom that transcended time.“Athena,” Seraphim’s voice resonated through the night air, ethereal and comforting, “All your children are destined for greatness. Embrace the gifts they will inherit.” The words echoed in my heart, igniting a fire of determination within me. I closed her eyes, allowing the warmth of that connection to wash over me. It was a bond that transcended the physical realm, a reminder that I was never alone. The legacy of my ancestors flowed through my veins, a lineage of strength and resilience.As I turned, I found Flameheart a
Flameheart With the sun setting in a blaze of colors, the pack gathers for a moment of reflection. I lead them in a howl that echoes through the valleys, a sound that speaks of our struggles, our victories, and our unyielding hope for the future. As the howls intertwine, I feel a surge of determination. We will thrive, we will remember, and we will rebuild our legacy together. I know that as long as we stand united, no darkness can extinguish the flame of our spirit.As the last echoes of our howls fade into the twilight, the pack settles into a serene silence, the kind that often follows a shared moment of unity. I also feel the weight of our collective experiences hanging in the air, a reminder of both the past and the promise of the future. I turn to Athena, who is standing beside me, her face illuminated by the soft glow of the setting sun.“Do you think they’ll remember this day?” I ask, my voice barely above a whisper. Athena nods, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. “They
FlameheartAs dawn breaks over the remnants of the New Royal Crescent Moon Pack territory, golden rays illuminate the scars of battle, now slowly healing. The landscape, once a chaotic tableau of destruction, is beginning to show signs of renewal. Flames that ravaged the forest have given way to budding green shoots, and vibrant wildflowers, like nature's confetti, celebrating the resilience of life. I stand amidst the pack, encouraging them as we work together to mend our home. My heart swells with pride as I witness the determination in their faces, each member embodying the spirit of renewal.“Every brick we lay, every tree we plant, is a step towards our future,” I declare, my voice unwavering, resonating with the strength of my conviction. I can see the weariness in their eyes, but it is overshadowed by the glimmer of hope. Athena joins me, her presence a comforting balm against the morning chill. Her hair catches the sunlight, shimmering like spun gold, and her smile radiates
Flameheart With the crumbling of the desolate realm, I ignore my fatigue and injuries as I cradle Athena in my arms, feeling the weight of her exhaustion against me. Her body is limp and the glow of her powers is still flickering like a dying ember after the fierce confrontation with Ambrosia.With each step I take towards the portal, I feel a mixture of relief and anxiety tightening around my heart. Luckily, the desolate realm, wit its twisted shadows and haunting silence fades behind us but the dread of what might have been looms large in my mind. My heart skips a beat as I glance down at her pale face. What if she hadn’t awakened in time? What if I had lost her to that malevolent witch? The thought slices through me, cold and merciless. I can never bear the idea of a world without her, of standing alone against the darkness that threatened to engulf us both. “Athena,” I murmur, brushing a strand of hair away from her forehead. “Please, hold on. We’re almost there.” As I appro
Author's POV The air was thick with anticipation as Flameheart stood tall beneath the silvery light of the moon, flanked by his elite warriors. Shadows cloaked them, their armor glinting like starlit skies against the darkened landscape. Each warrior was a master of their craft, trained to fight in perfect harmony, ready to unleash the fury they had held back for far too long.“Prepare yourselves!” Flameheart's voice sliced through the stillness, firm and resolute. “We strike at dawn!” With a synchronized nod, the warriors tightened their grips on their weapons, the tension palpable. The plan was set; they would launch a surprise attack on Ambrosia and Damon’s hideouts, striking at the heart of their malevolence before the first light of day could reveal their presence.As the attack commenced, chaos erupted in a symphony of clashing steel and anguished cries. Flameheart watched as his warriors moved like shadows, swift and deadly, cutting through the minions that had stood guard. T
Flameheart The moon is hanging high in the night sky, bathing the New Royal Crescent Moon Pack’s sanctuary in a silvery glow. Whilst I'm lying restless in my bed, my thoughts are tangled in a web of worry and determination. The recent reports of Ambrosia and Damon’s relentless rampage are weighing heavily on my heart, and sleep has eluded me, leaving me tossing and turning in the soft sheets.In the depths of my weary mind, I feel the call of a vision, a whisper from the Moon Goddess, that is beckoning me towards understanding. Suddenly, I am was enveloped in darkness, standing in a realm where the screams of the innocent echoes around me. The sight is horrifying. I clearly see Ambrosia and Damon, their forms twisted with malevolence as they unleash their fury upon humans and werewolves alike.“Flameheart!” The Moon Goddess’s voice breaks through the chaos, her presence both calming and commanding. “You must not engage with them openly, or innocent lives will be lost.”Frustration s
