“I feel so weak, I can’t even move, but I can hear you both loud and clear.”This time Ethan was sure he was hearing his baby girl’s thoughts, despite the fact that her face was looking peacefully asleep. “I am glad to hear even just your thoughts like this way,” Ethan replied with enthusiasm. “I wish to see that face happily smiling right now,” Lexy said weakly. Ethan and Aldric were astonished to realize she could tell Ethan was smiling from ear to ear. “How could you know such things even without actually looking at my face?” Ethan asked as he joined Lexy with his side on the bed, facing her and gazing at her face lovingly. “I don’t know if it’s part of me knowing now that I am more than human alone, but I can feel how you feel and as I can sense from your words, I know, or maybe more than just know, because I can be sure you are indeed happy,” Lexy answered slowly. The words in her thought reflect how weak she was still feeling. “You have to rest more, baby girl….” Ethan kis
The queen spoke softly. Her voice was too low, almost only for the king beside her to hear. She was trying to make the king realize the possibility of his successor being in danger. And in her nature as the mother, Queen Eula did not want to stay idle. And this was the only way she could think of for the moment. The king chose her to be his mate, but they did not go through the formalities of being mated. She is not marked either. But since Eula already had a mate when she got involved with Borasco in a complicated relationship, and this truth was unknown to everyone else in the kingdom, she made use of the mark that she already got from her true mate and covered it with a dark ink tribal-designed tattoo. And made everyone else mistake it as the King’s mark on her since no one except Borasco, Eula, and her late mate knew about being the lady claimed already. As for Borasco, being the most relied-on adviser to the former King of the Lycans, Borasco had also maintained a dignified re
King Borasco scoffed. "Then I suggest you do your best. I will give you all night to find my heir to the throne, or that would be one against all of your kind's youngs under my watch!" The king stated firmly. "Your Majesty, we need more than overnight to find the Crown Prince. Because before we can locate him, we will have to break through that barrier that conceals his exact location," Priestess Aquila explained calmly. "I don't care how you do it or what you have to go through to find him. I need to hear you found him by breakfast tomorrow morning. Now, leave!" King Borasco had never trusted any of the mages. He always thinks they are using spells and doing trickery to mock him for his lack of ability to do as they could, rubbing the truth that he still needs their powers to do things like finding his missing son. Eula did not say anything against the King's orders, but she thought about seeing the High priestess later that night when the King would no longer want her presence
“Do you know where he is right now?” Queen Eula asked warily. Priestess Aquila sighed and smiled, but she shook her head. The priestess looked like she had something more to say, so Queen Eula did not say anything. Eula waited patiently. The queen also considered the possibility of the priestess in front of her, weighing the thoughts of whether to share the information or not. Eula was hoping Aquila would still tell her, not as a Queen but as a mother worried for her son’s life and safety. To the Queen’s relief, her patience paid up.“I can tell Prince Mauricio is alive, but I cannot find his exact location at this very moment. All I can say for sure is that he is surrounded by coldness, but not like the ice-cold kind of cold. It’s more of a night-cold temperature,” Priestess answered gently with her eyes closed as if by doing so, she would see Prince Mauricio more clearly than when she had her eyes wide open. “Is he injured?” Eula asked without a thought. “Even if he was injured,
While Queen Eula and Priestess Aquila were doing what they could to help Prince Mauricio return alive from a realm unknown to the High Priestess, Lexy felt bothered, and she woke up from her sleep. Unaware of what was happening, not even the realm she had subconsciously created to give Mauricio a chance to redeem himself from all the wicked ways he had used to live all these years, Lexy did not understand why she was feeling bothered and inexplicably uneasy. "Ethan…?" Lexy called out softly as soon as she woke up. Lexy looked around with only her eyes moving, blinking, and getting used as if her eyelids had turned numb from a long sleep. She had to do some eye exercises. It was dark, but her heightened sense of hearing sent the data to her brain of where the direction of the table clock that kept tick-tocking every second. 12:09"Babe," Ethan whispered in a raspy voice. "How do you feel?"Ethan also felt Lexy waking up. And considering she had her meal before evening, Ethan thought
"Mauricio!" Queen Eula cried pitifully when she saw her son. It was as if the Crown Prince knew someone would come to speak to him before his whole body, well except for his heart, turned into a cold craving of a human form, that he tried his best to delay or fight the creeping sensation of coldness from his feet up to his face. Just as the lady with the told to be the last Royal Prince of the Lycan, his heart kept beating even though the cold in his body had passed his chest up to his neck already. Mauricio was surprised to see his mother, the Queen, come to see him. "Mother…" Mauricio spoke with so much difficulty."My son, I asked helped from the HIgh Priestess Aquila to find you," Queen Eula hurriedly explained. "All I can do to help you is remind you to be yourself. I know you admire and look up to your father being feared by everyone around him as a King, but I am also aware that there are things you did not fully agree with his ways of ruthlessness when you were younger. It
“Good morning, mate….” “Mmmmmm…” Lexy murmured in response to the very first greeting that woke her up the next day. But realizing who was greeting her, Lexy shrank more to feel the warmth of his embrace. Lexy knew it was Aldric by the way he addressed her, but it was Ethan’s human form scooping her from behind; it made her feel the two were one with her at the moment. “How do you feel?” Lexy asked in her thoughts as she was too comfy to be bothered talking. “Hmmmm? What do you mean?” Aldric asked with confusion. “You’ve been out for a while….” Lexy answered gently. “I missed you….”“Ahhhh… I was feeling a bit bothered last night, so I went to investigate,” Aldric answered. Lexy frowned. She recalled the reason she woke up in her sleep in the middle of the previous night. “Funny…” She murmured. “What is funny?” Aldric asked. “I was also feeling bothered in my sleep and woke up last night. I just thought I was hungry, but even until now, I am feeling this indescribable disturba
“I don’t want that throne, that is why I am not even thinking about going after whoever is seated on it right now,” Aldric answered. “But if they are going to chase us and rob our peace from us, we have to put them where they are supposed to stand before us.”“I agree,” Ethan also added. “Someone told me, this battle is already blessed by the Moon Goddess in favor of us. So, victory is just waiting for us to be claimed.”“Who told you that?” Lexy asked. She looked up to meet Ethan’s gaze. Her mien sported amazement to hear victory was like a promised one already. “Someone very special. Special to me, and special to you as well,” Ethan spoke ambiguously again. “Who? Tell me…” Lexy insisted. “My soon-to-be mother-in-law.”Lexy paused and moved her head back a little as if letting her brain process the words that her ears just received. She blinked her eyes. “Are you… getting… married?” she asked with hesitation. Lexy could not even believe the words were slipping out of her mouth.
