Ethan did not refute Lexy’s suggestion about sending messages to Alpha Lisbon through their mind links. The new King even asked the Chief of the Royal Warriors to repeat everything he had said to make sure the alpha got everything he gave as orders were perceived clear and not missing or misunderstanding anything. And since Ethan and Lexy could move without being noticed, or teleport, the next moment, they were standing right behind the mother and son who were weeping for Borasco, sitting at the front row of seats. “Your Majesty!” Exclaimed the man with a slight sense of panicked reaction. Mauricio was startled when his lycan informed him about the couple’s arrival. He and Eula greeted Ethan and Lexy as their King and Queen with bowed heads as they express their utmost respect and reverence. Mauricio had no idea how to welcome them. And honestly speaking, he did not expect the new king and his mate would come to give or express their condolences to them; a family of the man who had
“As you know, my mate is a witch….” Ethan answered with a pause. “A powerful one, if I may add. Ummmm….” Mauricio uttered. But when he realized what he had just done, Mauricio hurriedly begged for an apology. “I’m sorry, Your Majesty. Please, forgive me….” Ethan quickly held Mauricio by his arm when Ethan noticed the man was about to bow deeply as he expressed his regrets for what he had just said. Ethan reminded Mauricio that they had to act casual. If Mauricio bowed before him the way he would top his King, it would attract attention and get noticed by whoever was watching their every move. “Yeah. A powerful witch that she is, I can solidly testify to that,” Ethan chuckled as he shared this information with Mauricio with pride. “She is the heiress of the Grand White Witch of the East,” Ethan added. Mauricio felt ashamed inwardly. They were the first victim of his father’s greed for power, and innocent people died in order to set up King Bimashda and claim the Kingdom he left b
The rogues did not notice anything different in their surroundings as they followed the track they had in their plans according to the directions they were designated to take. They also arrived at the square's entrance within the time they had assumed they would get there. The leader of every team gave a signal to their troops to take a halt and hide as they checked the situation on their target location. "I can't believe they are behaving this way?" someone spitted in disgust as he was so disappointed to see that the people visible in the square were so casual. "They don't seem to rejoice. Don't tell me they are mourning?""Are we sure that Devil is dead?" another uttered his doubt. "We all know how evil he had been. If I were to hear the news of his death, I would rejoice. If I had seen his death in person, I would hold a party. But if I have witnessed both, I will hold a festival!" he exclaimed. "My words exactly!" one responded. "There is only one way to find out," the leader l
“What covered your deal?” Asked Ethan. Aldric had gathered some data about the shady deal these rogues have made with the Vampires, but they should hear the rogues’ answer to make sure the data and information were accurate. Because based on Aldric’s understanding, there might be a way the rogues could break through that blood oath they have signed with those creatures of the evil darkness. “We were to be their slaves in return for their assistance to us on our seek for revenge,” a wolf answered. “Were there any specifics on your deal with what kind of duties you were expected to do as slaves?” Ethan asked again. While Ethan was speaking with the rogues, Lexy was standing by his side. She was attentively listening with her eyes closed as she tried to detect any sense of lies or deceit in the rogues’ words. The young white witch did so because she could not ignore the vibes of darkness fighting its presence even within the secured barrier of the whole square where they were gat
It was only after the mid of the day when the rogues and the royals of the Lycan Kingdom made peace with each other and agreed to fight against the vampires with unity. “We know much about the newborn Vampires. We have seen so many of them over the years, and we have learned a few things about how to handle them,” Apollo, the alpha of the rogue lycans, mentioned a fact he thought would be useful and helpful to deal with the situation they were about to face with the vampires later that day. “So let us take over the front line,” Apollo suggested. The alpha who had been leading one group of the rogue lycans was not sure all his men would be willing to do as he suggested, but either way, there would always be the first batch or the front liners in every war. He was ready to take the lead if the King of the lycans would allow his idea to happen. “If you don’t mind, we would like to know whatever you know about the newborns for every one of us to be able to fight against them when we bu
That day was a very eventful one in the Lycan Kingdom. But after the roaring and thunderous loudness of the running footsteps of the rogues rushing on the ground, the people hiding beneath the ground did not feel anything unusual from above them. They only knew the war was not over yet because the chanting witches and everyone else with the ability to do magic were still holding hands side by side with one another in the form of a circle. Mauricio and Alpha Lisbon were right after Apollo and his team of rogues who volunteered to take the frontline. They had doubts at first. They were worried the rogues would play tricks on them by helping the enemy get into the kingdom, but Ethan assured the two, Mauricio and Lisbon, that the front liners would not do what they were worried about. “The newborn vampires are not able to know who their comrades or enemies are. They are blind to the lust for blood. They literally see all red. Every living creature with blood pumping in their hearts is
Ethan insisted he went with Lexy to wherever she was going when the man perceived the thought of his girl about to deal with the vampire elders. Aldric had the very same thought as Ethan, so the Lycan King gave orders to the immediate warriors around him, as well as the ones afar leading respective teams, to take charge while he was not around. “Do not let any of the vampires get even a mile closer to the square.”He informed everyone in his direct command that his mate was thinking about cutting the problem off the roots. The newborns may not change their minds or the way they were acting on the battlefield, but the rest of them that were still on standby would no longer be sent if the elders get handled accordingly. Everyone agreed to the King and Queen’s idea. It had always been the trick in every war, to subdue the most sovereign identity to defeat its army and warriors. Just like in the game of chess, a checkmate move will subjugate the other party. The Lycan King was not wary
The rest of the vampire elders wanted to attack the lycan simultaneously to overwhelm and defeat it by being outnumbered. But of course, only after they checked if the lycan had anyone or a team along with him. The vampires did not see any. They had so many questions in mind including the fact that a lycan made it this close to their spot without being noticed and killed not just one of them but already a number. “Can he be really brave and mighty to come all the way here alone, or is this just being suicidal?” The highest ranked elder of the vampires asked his comrades. “I don’t get this move. Who is this fool?”But as if Aldric has heard every word the leader of the vampires had said, the lycan was seen right before the leader elder vampire’s face. Aldric used his ability to teleport like Lexy would do from time to time, and his right arm quickly moved to stab the vampire with it. Aldric had no difficulty finding the vampire’s unbeating, cold heart and squeezed it with his bare han
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
