“There had been so many deaths around you already. Some of them are death you did not even approve of or agree with from the beginning, but as it was given to you as orders by King Borasco, you had no choice but to obey if you want your family safe. I don’t think adding more to those lost lives would do us any good,” Ethan said. He had not known anything about Alpha Lisbon’s experiences, but Lexy shared the vision she could clearly see from what she saw were the reasons their new allies had in their thoughts even from a distance. It was one of Lexy’s newly found abilities. Lexy herself did not know she could do such an amazing thing to see the thoughts and know if the person or any living creation in front of her bears a good heart or an evil one. As soon as she saw the pair walk out of the realm she had created for everyone that was after Aldric or Ethan and her, Lexy could read their hearts’ content and reasons. They saw how the male was hoping to live a life of peace and harmony,
The goddess took a moment to pause. She leisurely looked round. The Moon Goddess was so proud to see her children gazing at her with hopeful eyes. Their faith in her showed as soon as they found the way out of that realm the White Witch had created.“This war is not going to be like any wars many of you had witnessed…” the goddess continued.Then she gestured to speak, presenting Aldric’s mate, Lexy, to everyone. “With the heir of the Grand White Witch of the East Coven as his mate, the innocent victims of this misfortunate tragedy decades ago, the grudges between the witches and the lycans had been repaired, knowing the late King had just been made a fool by the one who had greed to have the kingdom for himself.”Everyone was keenly listening. They were all like children being told a magnificent story. But in some of the lycans present, an honest thought hid in the deepest corners of their minds, but the Mighty Moon Goddess did not fail to notice them.“Some of you are thinking, why
“How about Alpha Lisbon’s car?” asked Russel, one of Lisbon’s men who came with him to execute King Borasco’s order that morning. “If anyone can drive it, I guess it is better to take that truck away from here, or the thugs might not keep their hands off of it if we leave it behind,” Alpha Godfrey answered. He was considered the highest ranked lycan among the group right now, so the rest of the lycans submit to him.Lisbon’s next in command, Oliver, was also another alpha, so they are not called beta: unlike the ranking on packs. They were the Royal warriors; most of them were from the family of alphas presenting their alliance and obedience to the throne as they served the King. But some are from ordinary families who had proven their ability and skills extraordinary, making them eligible to join the team. Their abilities and performances defined their rank, not their families' roots. And their respect for their superior had led many of them to submit without hesitations, yet some o
In the eyes of people who have not recognized the Queen, they would have thought the ladies walking on the pathway were strangers to the only woman walking by herself in between the two pairs of ladies walking upfront and behind her. The warrior alpha did not fail to recognize the Queen despite the kind of clothes she was wearing, and even though it was almost dusk, Oliver was still certain he knew the lady’s identity. Still, he was also equally infallible that the Queen did not want to be agnized by anyone. Oliver was put in a dilemma of whether he should greet the Queen or not; after all, they were walking almost side by side since the Queen was passing by the moment Oliver stepped out of his house with only a few steps for a big man like him to cross the distance from his front door to the pathway. Not to forget that they were heading in the same direction; there was no other road to take for Oliver to avoid the lady. “Your Majesty…” Alpha Oliver discretely greeted. “I…” the tall
The Queen’s head maidservant made haste to send one of her colleagues back to the coven and assured Queen Eula that they would do as she asked. They also had to hurry going back to the castle and prepare the Queen for the evening event. It wasn’t an easy task after all. Alpha Oliver did not know how to extend his hand and help. But he stayed close, just in case the ladies, the servants, and the Queen needed some assistance; he was ready to jump in. But Queen Eula summoned her remaining courage. “I cannot be weak when my son is in the middle of all of this,” the mother stood up with the help of her maidservants, but when she got her balance back, she stood tall and with great fortitude. “My son might feel every emotion I have through our connections. I don’t want him to be disheartened. So, I will pray for him in my heart wherever my feet would stand; I will try to be one in spirit and prayer.”The Queen took a deep breath and gathered herself. She may not be officially mated to the
Eula was not stupid not to understand the grave threat of Borasco’s spoken words. According to what she had heard, the man was going to deceive his brother, King Bhimashda, to take the throne for himself. If he was cruel enough to plot a trap that would kill his own blood, Eula knew her life was nothing to be spared if Borasco wanted her dead. The young girl, Eula, lived in constant fear. She had to look over her shoulders every time she walked out of her home. But she realized she wasn’t safe even in her own abode. Because one night, Borasco came in like a thief and demanded Eula serve him in bed to relieve his sexual needs. Borasco’s wife was in a frail stage of pregnancy. She has had a few miscarriages already, and this time, the female begged Borasco not to touch her. Borasco has a fat appetite in bed, and his mate could not keep up when she gets pregnant because it triggers her to lose their pups before they were even born. Unlike Pete, Borasco loved his mate, Hyacinth. And his
“Thank you all for joining us tonight! Enjoy the feast!”King Borasco raised his diamond-made wine glass. In the old days, the table wares for the royals and everything used in such a grand event would have been made of gold and silver, but as years passed, new eras and generations evolved, King Borasco did not let fashions stay old. Instead of yellowish-colored table wares, the Kings table is filled with blinding white sparkles of diamond-made dishwares. Everything on the table has diamond decorations representing how elegant and rich the Kingdom was under King Borasco’s reign.He had the trolls dig the ground, and with the powers of the mages, the King also made every colonized realm, tribe, denomination, and kingdom bring their best valuables to him as their gifts. Anyone knew hiding anything from him; the King would not spare a single soul in their immediate family. Then as the place will have no one to rule, he will choose who to be the new leader over their kind, who would submi
The whole place was warmly lit by the halogen bulbs, just as King Borasco preferred the ambiance should be in every room he would be, anywhere in and out of the palace and kingdom. But the bright light shining exceedingly by the entrance to the party hall was opposite to the King’s preferences. Servants were terrified. They did not know how to cover the King from the blinding light that suddenly appeared. “Are you looking for the Crown Prince?” Ethan asked casually as he gently held Lexy guiding her to walk forward into the party room. “Who are you?!” The head of the royal guards assigned to secure the area that night stepped forward to block Ethan and Lexy as they entered. He looked so furious as if he was outraged to see such boldness to walk into the King’s party, obviously uninvited. The bright light was the sign telling everyone that those newcomers were not into pleasing the King or Queen. Had they been so, they would have been announced and acknowledged like everyone else.
Soon after, Eula became ill. But she refused to recuperate and claimed she wished nature to take her as soon as possible, so she could join her son in the afterlife. As per Eula’s request, they did not insist she get treated but Aquila stood right by her side to make sure she did not suffer so much pain before she took her last breath. When Eula died, a vision appeared to Lexy saying that since Mauricio died without descendants, Borasco would soon be reborn to live a life he was promised by the Moon Goddess. It made Ethan and Lexy feel relieved to realize that fate had been guiding them all along. Things seemed to happen for their reason. Every dot found its lines and connected every event to realize whatever message they were brought forth. Aquila and Lisbon remained in the Kingdom to serve the King and Queen who promised to take over the throne officially when Lexy finishes her studies. And they now have a family of their own with triplets of two girls and one boy. They realized
The young couple did not dally. While the rest of the graduates were heading to restaurants with their family and loved ones to celebrate their graduations, Ethan and Lexy were heading to the hospital to see the obstetrician who assisted her during her first pregnancy more than two years ago. A doctor Freya Smith had introduced to them. “Babe, why didn’t we know if you are pregnant like Axel had said?” Ethan asked in disbelief as he drove the car to Doctor Naomi Vitto’s clinic. “I might have been so preoccupied with my studies that I did not seem to feel anything weird,” Lexy answered weakly. “I’m so sorry, Babe. But have you noticed anything new about me? I mean you have seen how tough it was for me, for us, when I have Axel, right?” Ethan fell into deep thought when he stopped at a red light and waited for the light to turn green. “If I am to compare what I thought I noticed new about you to what I have seen you’ve been through while having your first trimester with Axel, I can’
“Congratulations, babe!” “Congratulations, babe! Yay!!!! We made it!” Marlyn yelled excitedly as he embraced and lifted Lexy joyfully, only to sheepishly smile and apologized when he heard a growling man not so far away. Marlyn graduated from their four-year degree courses earlier than Lexy, but their friendship grew deeper as the years went by. Even if Marlyn was now practicing his profession by being the local vet in their town, he did not cut ties with Lexy, and with the Roberts family. He was there at every event that was celebrated in the Roberts family’s lives. Even that day Lexy met her parents after being in a coma state and after the wars which they had won against the rogues and the vampires. It turned out Alona was in the kitchen, not because she was preparing food, but because she had to let the Blacks know that the young couple had shown up and that the Blacks should come over to the Roberts to settle things as they have excitedly planned while waiting for Lexy and Eth
The family of three almost forgot that there was someone else beside them standing and with a mixture of an awkward and warm smile sporting his face, he sure looked like he did not mind being left behind. Ethan could feel the exact same emotion Lexy had in her heart so the man, as well as his lycan, knew their girl was just so caught up between the overwhelming joy of reuniting with her parents and the unspeakable relief that they were finally back from the land of the in-between. “Oh, what are we doing here at the door?” Alona asked while sniffling and chuckling. “We are also being so mean to our guest over here,” she added while wiping the tears on her face and fanned it with her hands as if drying her wet in tears face and smiled at Ethan kindly. “Lexy, sweetie….” the mother spoke gently to remind her daughter that she came with someone and the young lady seemed to have forgotten. Lexy let go of her embrace of her parents and stepped back to stand with Ethan. She clasped her hand
“I will also do my best to only let your tears fall out of joy in this lifetime and to the next. It might be challenging, but I will deal with it. I know I have so much to learn about being a man to a woman, a husband to a wife, a son to parents, or a father to a son or a daughter, or both and more, but I promise you, Alexandra Roberts Black, that with all my heart and soul, human and Lycan, every breath and every moment of my life, I will only love you and everyone you love. Your friends will be my friends, whoever you claim as your family will be mine to cherish and protect as well,” Ethan kneeled before Lexy who was now smiling and crying at the same time, nodding and sniffing, eyes blurred but floating in cloud nine because she could feel from every fiber of her being how sincere, true and utterly heartfelt were Ethan’s words. Lexy swallowed her spit, cleared her throat, and took a few big and deep breaths to calm herself. “You make me so happy….” Lexy said after a sniff. “So, v
Lexy felt excited to hear Ethan say they were about to see her parents. She did not avoid his offered bite of food from the tray he carried all the way up to their bedroom from the kitchen downstairs. Lexy did not let the man feed her alone, she also picked the spoon on the side of the tray and fed him. “I’d love to wake up with you like this every morning,” Ethan said with a beaming smile on his face as he wiped the smear of food on the side of Lexy’s lips. “Thank you, babe….”While Ethan was staying with Lexy to have their breakfast, Aldric told the two that he will be busy checking the surroundings on his own. It was a way for Aldric to keep in touch with the rest of the lycans in the palace to keep an eye on various things that he sees fit to give his attention to. He would raise his mind link barrier for his human not to get bothered with anything unnecessary and attend to their girl and mate. “Nah, I want a different way of expressing gratitude. But since we are going to see m
“Do you think it was a good idea?” Lexy asked as they luxuriate in the romantic privacy of their home. The couple found a very lovely spot in the forest overlooking the palace within the realm of the Lycan Kingdom. They both gave in to the idea of how they wanted the house built and they even made the house all by themselves as they both did not want their lovely nest to be known by anyone else. “I want to believe it is. Because with that strategy, I can spend time with you alone like this without the constant My King and My Queen here and there, Your Highness and Your Majesty any moment of the day. Ughhh! That just feels so bothersome when I can have you all for and all by myself, and likewise, you can have me and your mate all of the time!” Ethan answered as he attacked Lexy with tickles and kisses in her clothed with a seductive nighties’ body. “Ahhhhhhhh! Babe!?” Lexy shrieked as she felt the tickles run all over her body from the tip of her toes to the roots of her hair due to
A lot of them raised their hand. They were crying silently but heartbreakingly. Some of them killed their loved ones in order to respond to the nature of thirst for blood they felt the very first moment they were turned into vampires. Some were parents to their children and vice versa. One was a mother to her child, while others were a lover, a friend, a spouse, and many more. And their body still recognizes these grave mistakes that they could not help mourning deep within them. A part of them was still grieving, but they were sent to an unknown place to kill everyone in it, promising more blood to satiate their hunger, and they were like mad bulls who dived into the task without even the ability to check if what they were going to do would be safe or not. Lexy and Ethan were able to hear the cries of their silently weeping hearts. “Do you want to end this curse in your life?” Ethan asked. Ethan explained that their body was already dead, and there was no way they could turn back
The war ended with a glorious victory for the Lycan Kingdom. The High Priestess Aquila did not see miss witnessing what happened in the thick forest between the royal couple Lycan King and the young Grand White Witch. She just realized how protectively secured her spot was when she herself could not step out of the shield which was covering her concealed, unseen, and unnoticed by the vampires surrounding them. Aquila was astonished to realize that even with how high rankers the vampires that they were dealing with were, they failed to notice their presence until the couple showed themselves. And even though she was not as powerful as the young white witch was, they failed to detect her presence among them although she was not even another tree afar from where they had gathered to attack the King all at once. When they tried to overwhelm the Lycan King with their number, they approach and gather around one tree and but they realize it was not wise to do so as the lycan could, the vam
