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.
“I came to see how you have been ruling over my Kingdom,” Ethan walked around opposite King Borasco’s table. He was wearing a fancy platinum gray tux while Lexy was wearing an evening dress the same color as Ethan. “I hope we do not need to waste such a nice tux….” Ethan whined as they were getting ready to crash a party earlier that evening. “Don’t worry; you won’t need to. But just in case you do, don’t worry, I am sure there is more where we got this from,” Lexy assured her man with a soft chuckle. Lexy was not sure how things were to happen that night, but she was prepared to protect Aldric and Ethan whatever may come along. She even meditated for a few hours to speak with her mom, who was also in the middle of meditation rituals, so Lexy could not contact Alona or Doctor Freya over the phone. The young white witch had to meet the two ladies halfway through their meditation and asked questions Lexy deemed to be of extreme and crucial need to use and pull as her trump cards just
King Borasco was astonishingly soft-spoken. He sounded like coaxing the High Priestess whom he had always seemed to look down on before this moment. “I am not sure my words would count as I am basically considered a slave in this kingdom, but despite being a mage, a creation not among the Moon Goddess, I have witnessed the same things every one of the witnesses had mentioned,” priestess Aquila spoke in her usual manner. Just as everyone in the kingdom knew her, even the King is aware that Aquila is not someone who would feel inferior to anyone; although she is not the meekly submissive one, she is also not someone to trample down on. Aquila is aware of the rules she has to abide by. She never intends to please anyone, not even the King or Queen. She just does whatever she is told to do, but if only she could, Aquila would never excerpt any effort. She is not a martyr, after all. “The Crown Prince is in a realm where he is given a second chance to redeem himself, and only with a ren
The cruelness Borasco has mastered and mustered over the years had hardened his heart. His beliefs had been the same ever since he made his butt seated on the throne, and with no one to challenge his power, King Borasco had been full of himself to believe that his ways were unquestionable.Indeed, power blinds a man. Not all of the time, but when it starts from evil thoughts, the possibility of this evil staying, lurking, and lingering in the shadow is more than one could ever imagine. It blends in the air the person breathes. And it becomes normal for them because it grows upon them as time passes. Exactly like what happened to Borasco."Before I argue with you about that, let me ask a basic question first," Ethan walked around casually with Lexy's arms still locked with his. Then he went in the direction where he could get a glass of drink. He picked one glass and handed it over to Lexy; then, he got one for himself as well. In every move the couple made, almost everyone's eyes int
“Since the King had asked who I am…” Lexy said calmly. Ethan was right beside Lexy, ready to assist her in anything and everything she might need. He reached for Lexy’s hand and clasped his fingers with hers, then he gently squeezed her hands assuring he was all-support on her. Lexy nodded to Ethan and the protection spell that covered her vanished. “She…! She is a witch!” Someone uttered breathlessly as soon as Lexy’s identity was revealed to everyone. But even though it was a mere whisper, it seemed to have pierced everyone’s ears. “And she is not just any witch,” Priestess Aquila introduced Lexy’s identity, but since she herself did not know Lexy’s name, Aquila focused on the young White Witche’s supernatural identity. “She is the last heir to the East Coven of the White Witches whose ancestors died, burned alive but fate had its plans, the youngest daughter of the Grand White Witch escaped the tragedy and lived hiding her true identity. She found her soulmate, a distant bloodli
As a mother, Tala, just like Eula, the renowned Queen of the Lycans, gave her heart to plead for the Moon Goddess to hear their prayers. She cried pitifully in the petition for her son and daughter-in-law, who had been in an agonizing predicament of fearing to have children of their own due to the way King Borasco implements the rules in the Kingdom. She had also witnessed the sadness in her husband's eyes whenever he saw children of any kind. Tala knew Egmus yearns and longed to welcome a young life from their one and only son, who is mated to a white witch from the North Coven. But despite her heart being willing to do anything to make the whole family withstand such life trials, it was not so easy when she herself wished to see her grandchildren before she closed her eyes for eternity. But aside from Tala, every lycan in the crowd wished to see their creator, just like Priestess Aquila did. It was a different kind and level of joy to imagine they would get to witness the majestic
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
