lovely readers, I'd love to hear your thoughts so far on this journey of Caesar and Esmeray. Please let me know in the comments whether you're enjoying the journey or not. thank you so much for reading. one more update coming right up and lots of love ❤️❤️😊
MORDAXKitana and I arrived at the royal palace prison. A big bellied man guided us inside after the massive gate was opened."Stay close. These are dangerous people," he warned as we walked deeper inside. Various creatures of prisoners glared at us.Normally, I would tease them. As I'm accustomed to challenging stronger creatures, it excites me when they boast about their power, only to be defeated by me in the end.But today, I wasn't in the mood. I feared what Kitana had witnessed concerning Caesar. Deep down, I wished she had been mistaken. I hoped that everything she had seen in her vision three days ago was incorrect.It would deeply wound Caesar. Esmeray had managed to bring a smile to the face of the ruthless Caesar after all these years. She was his source of joy. If anything unfortunate were to happen to her, I knew the pain would be too much for Caesar to bear."We are almost there," the big bellied man stated. Kitana walked in front of me, silent.She had been quiet since
MORDAXThe next thing I heard was the sound of the prison bars coming off from the concrete prison wall, and Caesar stepped out in anger.He was headed straight for the royal palace."Caesar, you can't go inside the royal palace all alone!"He didn't say anything and instead kept walking towards the entrance of the prison. I then reached out my hand and grabbed him by his arm; his temperature was so hot.Immediately, he gave me a glare, so dark. It was as if he controlled me, and I couldn't move anymore from where I stood as he shoved my hands off and continued walking. I couldn't find the courage to follow him ahead but instead stared blankly at the monster that had been created."Kitana, what have you done?"------------ESMERAYI haven't left my room for three days. I haven't had an appetite to eat any meals either. Until my mother comes into my room herself and forces a few spoons inside my mouth.My belly feels disgusting, just like the rest of me, with each sunrise that has appro
KITANA"Why the fuck did you do that?!" Mordax's voice echoes in my ears.We were still inside the royal prison when he yelled at me for revealing my visions to Caesar."Answer me, Kitana!" His eyes burned with rage as he closed the distance between us, and I gasped, fearing he might lose control. Tears were still streaming down my cheeks, and more started falling as I recalled that Caesar and I shared a similar past."Mordax," I said in between sobs, looking up at him with grief in my eyes. "Do you have any idea how it feels to lose your family? Someone you loved so dearly, and you couldn't do a goddamn thing to help them or change the situation?"His hands were resting on his waist while he continued to glare at me with a sharp gaze, but I continued nonetheless."I... I lost my family when our land was invaded by the Lycan king's warriors. So many were killed, including my parents, who did everything they could to make sure my younger brother and I escaped." I stopped and wiped away
ESMERAY"Alright, dear, come here," she said, embracing me once more. "Your mate needs our help right now before the king kills him."Lovella instructed Unity, their royal feathered horse, to take Leon safely back to their pack, the Blue Rock Pack in the west. It wouldn't be wise to leave him here, especially while Caesar is hell-bent on killing him.Afterward, our attention was drawn to the two beasts ahead of us—my mate and my father, engaged in a gruesome fight in their wolf forms.'Father, cut it out, please! He didn't mean to invade the kingdom!' I mind-linked my father as Lovella and I ran towards them side by side. The closer we got, the greater the danger of accidentally hitting one another increased.Although Lovella was an alpha herself, I never worried for myself but rather for my mate, who might not survive this.'Excuses, child! Stay away while I rip his throat apart. Do not interfere!' Despite it being a mind-link, my father's words were loud enough to freeze my knees. H
ESMERAYThe moon goddess didn't answer my prayer to bring him back with my kiss. I laid my head on his bare chest now and continued to be drenched in my sorrows until a voice uttered out of nowhere."He is dead and no longer your mate. Now you are free." My father's husky voice fell on my ears, and it turned my sadness into anger."Did I ever tell you I wanted to be free?!!" I snapped and raised my gaze to meet his cruel eyes descending on me. "I never wanted to be free! You killed my mate!" My tears flowed freely down my cheeks as I stood up now, not planning on holding anything back anymore."He invaded my palace, killing my warriors and causing havoc. Death was his inevitable sentence.""Because Leon raped me!" I saw his eyes widen as I revealed. "He was after Leon because he raped me! He wanted to get revenge for what he did to your daughter, for goddess' sake!" My voice came out broken.I saw my father's gaze leave my heartbroken face, down to my dead mate, and then back to me. He
KITANA"Mordax!" I yelled as Mordax was sent flying to the other side of the vast field by the Lycan king.Tears streamed down my face as I mourned my sex mate, Caesar. However, he had never treated me like one during the time I spent with him.Instead, he granted me the freedom to move and do anything I wished, allowing me to be free. Heck, he never even wanted me to touch him all because his heart belonged to someone else. Unlike other Alphas who would rather take advantage of my vulnerability of being a human.Now, he was dead, and I was consoling his mate, Esmeray, as we embraced tightly. Eventually, Esmeray's friend joined us, and tears flowed freely from our eyes.The sound of something heavy hitting the ground grabbed my attention. I raised my teary face from Esmeray's shoulder and turned to gaze behind me. There, I witnessed Mordax somersaulting on the other side of the field, and I lost my breathe that instant."Mordax!" I yelled in fear, releasing my grip on Esmeray and rush
KITANAA hopeful smile appeared on my lips when I opened my eyes and saw the softness in his eyes now. Tears of hope flowed down my cheeks, and I even chuckled softly.His red eyes gazed at my face, filled with affection. He didn't say anything, but his expression spoke volumes. My kiss had indeed calmed him down.I offered a silent thank you to the goddess for that."Kitana..." His voice turned soft as he called my name, and then tears began to roll down his eyes as he looked at me.His expression had shifted to a sad one now."My best friend, Caesar, is gone," Mordax said, his voice breaking as tears rolled down his cheeks while he shook his head."I loved that motherfucker so much! We grew up and trained together for many years," he managed to say through his tears. I held his shoulders and nodded, encouraging him to let his emotions out."I know, I know. But I can't lose you too. I can't lose you both on the same day, Mordax," I sobbed, looking into his blurred red eyes.It was ago
ESMERAY****THREE DAYS LATER***It's been three days since the death of my mate, Caesar.I sat on the edge of my bed, staring out of my wide-opened window, feeling the cold both in my heart and on my skin. The wind was heavy today and occasionally came through the window, blowing my red hair all over my face.Back then, I had kissed Caesar's lifeless body in the fields, hoping somehow he would come back to life with the sparks that flew from our mate bond. But he didn't, and he left me all alone in this world.I felt empty inside. This would be a great time for Miriam to come and console me, obviously, but I was honestly tired of it. Tired of being broken, and broken again. I didn't want to see anyone; I wanted to be left alone.Miriam was stubborn and wouldn't let me "hurt" myself in her own words by being alone, so she left me no choice but to lock her outside my room.Yes, I have been locked inside my room for three days. No food, no water...I haven't looked at my current self in
