"Haven't you done enough, Don? Not only have you betrayed us but now you're reopening old wounds and trying to plant false hope in madam's heart. Have you no shame? No heart?!"

"Audrey!" Rebekah's voice was louder than she intended, "Who let you in here?! And why would you come in here without my permission to interrupt my conversation?"

"Forgive me, madam, but I was let in by the guards. I wanted to come see how you were doing after I told you about Lily's fate only for me to walk into this - Don trying to rub salt on your fresh wounds. I couldn't just stand and watch him without doing anything!" Audrey was thrilled in her mind. Her acting skills were getting off the charts!

"But why would you accuse him of giving me false hope when you yourself told me you weren't sure that…" Rebekah's eyes started to fill with tears.

Audrey walked closer to them. "I only said so because I didn't want it to hurt so badly, madam. I'm sorry, I could've told you the bitter and sad truth. I saw what I s

    ~NARRATOR'S POV~The day was going slowly as usual. The warriors trained, some patrolled around the gate while Lily's parents worried endlessly about their daughter, even though they tried to distract themselves with idle tasks.Out of the blue, some loud chattering was heard from the gate.Rebekah and Henry looked at each other in thought, both of them silently hoping it wasn't what or who they thought it was.A guard came in, "Sir! Jaxon is back!"That sentence alone made Henry jolt up from his seat. Jaxon? The same Jaxon everyone thought had died or had ran away?"Bring him in now!"Jaxon stumbled into the room by the support of the guards, his clothes torn and his face bruised. Henry stood looking shocked and Rebekah rushed to him."Jaxon! Good lord, I thought you were dead! Where in the world have you been? What happened to you?" Lily's father demanded, his voice carrying both anger and worry.Jaxon took a deep breath, "I was injured during the battle…" he said, exhausted."We ha

    ~LILY'S POV~Leo paced back and forth in front of me, his eyes burning with curiosity and something more sinister. The room felt stifling, the air heavy with tension as I knew he was preparing to interrogate me about the power I had just unleashed. My wrists were still bound, and I could feel the cool metal of the chains digging into my skin."So, Lily," Leo began with a voice filled with false sweetness, "care to explain that little display of power? I must admit, I'm rather intrigued."I refused to let fear seep into me. I met his gaze with a defiant glare, "I don't owe you any explanations, Leo. You have no right to question me."Leo chuckled darkly and narrowed his eyes at me. "Ah, but you see, my dear Lily, I have every right. As your captor, it is my duty to unmask the depths of your abilities. Your power is far greater than I had imagined. I really have underestimated you."I clenched my fists, the chains rattling against my skin. "What do you want from me, Leo? Why the fuck ar

    Jaxon sat with Aunt Cecelia, his foster mother, in their cozy home. She looked at him with concern etched on her face and he noticed, making him flash a teasing smile, "Mom, why the face? You've been looking at me like that since I got back.""Who the hell told you it was a good idea to follow a whole army of vampires back to their have? Don't you think before you do things sometimes?" She complained."Oh mom, I was only performing my duty.""Which kind of duty is that? Nobody has done it and you thought you could because you're some super hero, right?""Mom, I'm here and I'm fine. That's all that matters." He said and held her hands in his."You don't know how worried I was…how Junior couldn't eat or sleep because his big brother was gone. You just do things without thinking about anybody else." Her voice broke and so did Jaxon's heart."Mom, I'm sorry…please don't cry. I know I was stupid…I'm sorry."More worry lines etched on her forehead. "Jaxon, I'm really worried about you. You'

    ~NARRATOR'S POV~Aunt Belinda and Sarah continued to walk deep into the forest, searching for clues about Lily and Adrian's disappearance. They followed a path that seemed to show where they were taken and the last one anyone remembered they last passed through. Aunt Belinda looked around then spoke to Sarah in a concerned voice, "Sarah, we need to focus and be alert. Look for anything that seems strange or different—footprints, signs of a fight, anything that might give us an idea of what happened.Sarah nodded, her gaze fixed as she knelt down to examine the disturbed ground. "I'm searching."Aunt Belinda crouched beside Sarah, her voice tinged with worry. "It's crucial that we remain calm and attentive. We can't afford to miss anything."Sarah's brow furrowed in concentration as she carefully examined a patch of dirt. "Look at these markings. They're deep, as if someone was dragged here."Aunt Belinda's eyes widened, realization dawning upon her. "You're right. It seems there was

    ~THEO'S POV~I stood before the Black healers and my heart pounded with anticipation. I had known them to be the keepers of ancient knowledge and mystical powers. I had also known them to be the people who saved my life, revealed my destiny to me and now were about to reveal to me the whereabouts of the ring of Lythian - this, they told me was, what the chosen one needed to bring peace into the realm. I couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and trepidation.One of the healers, a tall figure with a hooded cloak, (forgive me, I do forget their names from time to time) stepped forward and spoke with a daunting voice. "Theo, you have been chosen as the message bearer. It is your duty to deliver this crucial information to the chosen one."I nodded as my eyes locked with the healer's. "I understand. Please, tell me where I can find the ring of Lythian."The healer raised a hand, and suddenly, a holographic projection of a map materialized in the air before us. It displayed tortuous sy

    ~ADRIAN'S POV~My eyes fluttered open. The memories of the past flooded my mind. I found myself lying in a dark room, and as my gaze focused, I saw Lily's father, but a much younger version, standing before him. The air was thick with tension as we locked eyes. Our past and conflicting desires hanged between us.Henry's grip tightened around the journal in his hands. He sounded so bitter as he spoke, "You thought you could betray us and get away with it, Adrian? You were a brother to me, and yet you sided with our enemies."I looked down shamefully then back at him, "Henry, you must understand. It wasn't betrayal; it was a choice born out of love. I couldn't sit by and watch as the violence escalated. I had to find a different way."His eyes narrowed, "Different way? You turned your back on your own kind, on your own family. And now you expect forgiveness?"My gaze softened as my voice filled with sincerity. "Henry, I never wanted to cause harm to anyone. I stood by your side because

She found Don looking distraught and thinking about doing something very drastic. Don's eyes were filled with pain, and his face flushed with sadness as he brought a small knife to his neck. He was kneeling, facing the mirror, and his cheeks were soaked with tears.Rebekah gasped and rushed in.."Don, no!" Rebekah shouted. "What do you think you're doing?""Let me do this! There's nothing worth living for again. Let me." He said and pressed the knife to his diaphragm but Rebekah held her hands out."This won't solve anything, Don. This isn't the way. Please, don't do this.""It's worse…. it's worse here… maybe it will be better there…" Don's eyes let more tears down his cheeks as his hands shook with fear."I understand th

    The dry leaves of the oak trees blew by the empty canals. The atmosphere was chiller than usual. All the members of the grove and pack gathered together to say their final goodbyes to Rex, their respected and beloved Alpha. As everyone in the main pack commuted in sadness, the air felt heavy with grief, and the only sounds were the soft movement of leaves and occasional sniffling from people crying.Tyler was there too, but he looked very resolute and calm, which was unusual for him in that situation. He lost his mom 3 years prior, and he was unable to stop crying when her burial rights were being performed.Why didn't he cry now? Is it because he just realized he lost two parents in the span of 4 years?He couldn't cry; it was as if he couldn't believe what had happened, what he had done and couldn't permit his feelings from being shown to the pack members.Henry and Rebekah stood next to each other, their faces filled with sadness, as they watched what was happening.

    ~ LILY'S POV~ I sat upright on the bed. I could hear my heart beating wildly, and felt beads of sweat clinging to my forehead. The dream, the same recurring dream, had invaded my sleep again. I felt a chill creeping through me as those words in the Lythian language echoed in my mind. Adrian, still half asleep beside me, sensed my restlessness and gently kissed my forehead. His voice was soft and soothing as he asked, "What's troubling you, luv?" I turned to him with widened eyes. I recounted the details of the dream. It's the second time I had that dream. I saw Cathro in the dream warning me about a certain "Darram" but she was speaking in Lythian language. Saying, "Beware, Darram comes soon and we fear you will be the last Guardian this realm will ever know." Adrian's concern was evident, but he didn't want to add to my distress. He pulled me close into his strong arms, and reassured me with the warmth of his presence. "You shouldn't think too much about it, at least not now. You

    Jaxon found himself behind a runty herb stall in the hidden market. The canopy above offered shade from the scorching sun. The cloaked man stood in front of him, carefully arranging an assortment of herbs in clay pots and glass bottles. Jaxon had come to appreciate the familiarity they both shared with nature's offerings.Jaxon took a deep breath and finally spoke, "The salves you've been giving me have been a great help to Tiana. Her scars are slowly healing, and I can't thank you enough for your help."The cloaked man nodded, his deep and wise voice always leaving Jaxon in wonder. "It's an honor to assist."Jaxon's eyes never left the cloaked man. He spoke with a sense of urgency in his voice. "Tiana's scars are fading, but her new wounds... they keep reopening. I know it's as a result of the remaining dark magic that's around her. I need something to ease her pain until I take her to the healers at the Cave"The cloaked man nodded, "I have just the thing, but be cautious. These her

    ×××××××××In the quiet of the night, Audrey was preparing herself for bed, or really, for Leo. She sat, fixing her hair while looking into the mirror. Her reflection stared back at her, and behind her, she sensed Leo watching. He lay on the bed, his eyes never leaving her.The night's silence was broken only by the gentle rustle of her clothing. As Audrey gazed at her own reflection, she couldn't help but remember the image of Leo's lifeless body. It was a haunting image that often crept into her thoughts, and tonight was no different.A shiver ran down her spine as she realized how frequently she feared his death. Audrey couldn't quite understand why his demise, or the mere thought of it, was such a constant source of dread for her. What would she do if he were to die again?Leo sensed the worry in her posture and voice, prompting him to ask, "What's the matter?"Rather than revealing her deep-seated fears, she shifted the conversation toward their recent meeting with Viktor.

    ×××××××××As Leo and Audrey stepped out into the courtyard, the air was filled with residual tension from the meeting. Leo nodded to his henchmen, silently instructing them to move forward and prepare the car for their departure. As they scurried off, leaving the two of them alone, Leo's demeanor changed.He swiftly pulled Audrey into his embrace. Her lithe form fitted perfectly against his own. It was a gesture that had become all too familiar between them. There was always a genuine attraction and the thrill of their dangerous partnership. Their flirtatious banter began as he gazed into her eyes, wanting to start something."It's about time I commend you for your loyalty. What you did back there -""Was nothing. I was tired of being in the midst of three grown-up men bickering like kids."Leo laughed and pulled her closer, "Oh, Audrey, you've been holding out on me. You've got a sense of humor buried in there."Audrey kept a straight face but he tightened his grip around her waist.

    ×××××××××The room was covered with such a thick tension as Viktor and Leo threw eachother assertive glares as they sat opposite eachother at the roundtable. The flickering chandeliers gave enough light to the polished wooden surface below it, and their henchmen stood behind them, ready to leap into action at any given moment.Leo's calculated move broke the silence. He nonchalantly tossed the Bodessa medallion onto the table, its precious metal clinking against the wood. His piercing eyes bore into Viktor's as he opened his mouth, "I brought this," Leo always sounded ambitious and too cocky, despite who he was addressing, "in exchange for men. I need more troops to raid the werewolf pack. It'll benefit the clan, and I know you've been planning a raid on one of their lower towns too. I could help with that."Viktor, the more composed and legitimate senior of the two, regarded the medallion for a moment. He gestured for one of his men to give it to him to which the latter did.

    THE WORLD OF "FORBIDDEN MATE"Someone once asked me about the world setting of the story since they saw elements of modern and mediaeval worlds in the story.This is your answer, dear:In Story 1, the setting and world are a blend of supernatural elements and modern-day life. The narrative features caves and packs, which are key components of the werewolf culture. These caves serve as communal spaces and dens for rebel groups, where they hold meetings, make important decisions, and discuss their strategies. The packs, as you already know, represent a strong sense of community and hierarchy.Amidst the supernatural background features, modern elements are also included into the story. This includes the presence of everyday technology like phones and digicams, used for communication and recording events. Weapons such as daggers are also part of this world which reflects the need for self-defense and conflicts that arise.The characters frequently visit bars, where they socialize, and so

The air around us crackled with strange energy.When she saw my present form, she seemed to rethink facing me but she proceeded still, "So you're a Guardian? An unworthy bitch like you?"I studied her."Why did you always have the good things, hunh?You should have never been born, Lily! You're my bane and I want you cut you off once and for all!""Your hatred will only lead you to your grave, Audrey!" I was trying to get to her."No! I will send you to your grave, right here!"
