Carissa watched with anxiousness as Mateo began undressing in front of her.
"What do you want to do?" she asked with a slight panic in her voice.
Mateo glanced at her and sneer, "What do you think?"
Carissa tried to move away from him with a futile attempt since she was cuffed to the headboard.
She struggled with all her might to remove her hand from the cuff but failed. Her fair skin had turned red from the force she put on her struggle.
She tried to activate her power to melt the iron steel many times but it was as if she had returned to an ordinary human who doesn't have any power at all.
Fear spread through her body like wildfire and swallowing her whole. Her body trembles and her eyes had turn misty from holding her tears back.
"No! No! No! Let me go! Let me go!" she cried hysterically when the half-naked Mateo approached her.
Mateo didn't seem to hear her at all. All he could think about was how she dared
"Your fangs. How did you get it?" Mateo inquired after not being able to hide his curiosity anymore.Carissa's fingers halted as she froze. Yesterday, she recalled that she had sunk her canines onto Mateo's flesh.The fact that she has red eyes and fangs like a vampire had been hidden by her father and mother deeply in fear that she would be rejected by other hunters.What's more, she was a Soul Huntress! How could she have red eyes and fangs like a vampire?Her father and mother love each other very much. How could it be possible that one of them had cheated with a vampire?Both of them hated vampires to the bones ever since they were created!She looks up and gazed deeply at Mateo's green eyes and asked, "Why are your eyes green?"Only hunters would have green eyes!Mateo stiffened up when he heard her question. He had found it quite odd too. Every vampire was born with red eyes and he was born with gre
"Philippa Dardanos." Mateo spat out her name indifferently.Philippa's face turns ugly for a second, "Ms Carissa, I'm the 2nd family Royal Princess and also Teo's childhood friend." she smiled at Carissa."Nice to meet you, princess." Carissa smiled back with her own fake smile.She could tell that the 'princess' in front of her was trying to imply something. However, even if she tried to imply anything, nothing could be undone and redone.Carissa was Mateo's mate and they had claimed each other and that was it. There's nothing she needs to worry about since Mateo treated Philippa like air.Mateo placed a piece of bacon on Carissa's plates, "Eat."Carissa looked awkwardly at Empress Lamia who was looking at Mateo with an ugly face, "Teo, help Pipi to get some food.""She has her own hands." Mateo didn't even glance at Philippa.All he cared about was piling food on Carissa's plate. Carissa was speec
Empress Lamia approached Carissa with contempt and viciousness in her eyes. Even though she had promised her husband not to take any action against her, he won’t know as long as she doesn’t speak.Furthermore, all the people that were present today were her own people.She wanted to suppress and torture the hunter in front of her. After that, she would make a loyal puppet out of her.As time passes, she would rule over the hunters and possess their skill as well as gaining a firm foothold on the empire.ZAP! ZAP! ZAP!The whip landed on Carissa’s back with a loud snap. Her clothes were torn by the thorn whip. She bit her lip as hard as she can to stifled her scream.There was no way she would let the Empress get her satisfaction. Cold sweat dripped down her foreheads as blood seeped out from her mouth.She struggled to escape from two black-clothed vampires in front of her with futi
Carissa’s ears perk up when she heard this. As expected, they would definitely try to dig out information from her. A loud laugh rang and startled Philippa who immediately stepped back in shock.“Threaten me, torture me, but…beg you? Betray my people? You can dream! ” a sinister grin appeared on her face as she slowly stood up despite her pain.Philippa gasped as she stepped back in fright. Empress Lamia also stood up in shock. How…how could this be? The meat-eating bug should have made her strength decrease by now!“What do you think you’re doing?!”Carissa turned around and saw Mateo came together with Leroy. She frowned. Why did these two come together?Mateo flashed in front of her and look at the injuries on her back with heartache. He was in a meeting when he felt a stroke of pain in his back.He was confused at first when he felt it a few more times. He wanted to end the m
Carissa vomited all the bugs out of her body and retched a few more times. She wiped the blood at the corner of her lips with her sleeves and stood up straight. Her face was still pale but the pain inside her body was fading away. Meanwhile, the injuries on her back were also rapidly healing. Mateo and Leroy watch this with amazement. Leroy had never seen such a miracle before. Carissa could heal herself ten times faster than a normal person. Mateo was shocked because he and Carissa actually have the same healing speed. Could it be because they are officially mates now? But, then, he thought about the past incidents where she was injured and realised that she could heal herself fast. Leroy was in awe and wonder if his healing speed would be the same since he is a lycan and a witch. Carissa leaned on Mateo’s chest as she breathed in and out as waves of dizziness hit her from the loss of blood. Mateo patted her head g
“Yo, brother! I was wondering what made you storm out of the Palace Hall today. You really care for sisters-in-law!” Wenceslaus Kalev greeted them with a smirk on his face.Mateo only glanced at him before pulling Carissa with him to sit opposite the two-man in front of them. There was an empty couch beside them. Leroy stood beside Carissa and pursed his lips in dismay. These vampires surely know how to enjoy.He never thought that they would build this kind of entertainment place. They were obviously enjoying themselves too much while the werewolves were still struggling to find a way to eliminate them.Blaise Dardanos hit the back of Wenceslaus’s head and berated, “Watch your mouth! If he doesn’t care about sisters-in-law, who else is he going to worry about? You?”Wenceslaus rubbed his head and shot Blaise a glare before he grinned at Mateo and Carissa, “Brother, have the world turned upside down? Why di
“Teo!”A familiar female voice suddenly enters Carissa’s ears. She was pushed aside by a sexy female vampire who pounced on Mateo like a female leopard ready to swallow its prey.Leroy immediately hold onto her and helped her steady herself back on her foot.But, this wasn’t what flabbergasted Carissa the most. The thing that made her mouth gaped in shock was Mateo didn’t push the female away but he just let her sat on his lap and cling onto him like a koala.Looking at the familiar face in front of her, Carissa’s heart couldn’t help but turn cold. Her mouth that was open wide was now closed like a mute.The gaze she gave to the two people in front of them could freeze the entire room. It was as if she caught her husband cheating on her.Her face was pale and there was no more shyness or embarrassment on her face. In fact, her heart felt like it was stung by a bee. It was so painful.Sh
Carissa had stayed outside all night until the sun rose into the sky. Black lines appeared below her eyes as she had entertained her wild thoughts for hours.She waited until breakfast passed by and for Mateo to leave the residence before she slowly got up and stretch her numb limbs. She went upstairs to Mateo’s room and dismissed the servant who called her to have breakfast.She closed the door and looked at the empty bed with coldness in her eyes. Then, she laid on the sofa before curling herself up and closed her eyes.When she woke up, the entire room was dark. She sat up and tried to clear her head but failed as dizziness attack her. She could feel her body heating up as her head pounds. She realized that she has a fever. She stood up, stumbling a few times as she walk towards the door and fumbled with the switch.All of a sudden, her mouth was blocked by gloved hands and her hands were tied to her back. Carissa struggled to mo
Mateo was grinning from ear to ear when something flashed in his mind.His smile faded as a look of concern appeared on his face. He looks at Carissa worriedly, "Honey, you haven't recovered yet. Would you and our baby be alright?"Carissa felt warmth in her chest when she saw how concerned Mateo was towards her and their baby.She poked Baby Ing's cheeks and smiled, "Don't worry. We'll be fine."She then lifted her head to look at him, "We need to talk about something."Mateo raised an eyebrow, "About what?""This concerns the future of our world. What do you think about having a truce with the werewolves, witches, and hunters? Do you think this is possible?"Mateo's face turned serious when he heard this. "This isn't a trivial matter. I can't decide by myself." he slowly said.Carissa sighed and shook her head. She had already expected this to happen. There's no way he would agree that easily."Then, we could only remain like this forever," Carissa said softly yet disappointment w
The next morning, Carissa ate breakfast together with the leaders before she bid them goodbye and left for the vampire kingdom.The vampires guarding the vampire kingdom border were glaring when she walks past them. Carissa only ignored them when she noticed this.As long as they didn't make trouble with her, she also wouldn't make trouble for them.Thus, the vampires could only stare at her with murderous looks on their faces as her figure disappear towards the direction of the palace."My Queen, you're back!"The moment she arrived at Mateo's residence, the guards saw her and immediately bowed as they greeted her.Carissa nodded and walk past them.In this place, only Mateo's people who were personally chosen by him did not hold grudge against her compared to the other vampires out there.Maybe it was also because they once saw how Mateo once made an example in front of them when Carissa was sick in the past.In their mind, messing with Carissa was equal to messing with Mateo. Just
Carissa’s hand instinctively touch her flat stomach.Her eyes were wide open in shock at Master Vellamo’s words.Her breathing became ragged as her eyes redden as she turned to her master whose eyes landed on her flat belly.“Are you pregnant?” she asked, “Don’t tell me you got this curse after you got pregnant?”“No!” Carissa shook her head weakly, “I got it before I got pregnant...”Only then her master slowly breathed a sigh of relief, “You scared me to death!”“Luckily it was before you got pregnant. This way, the curse wouldn’t affect the baby. However,...”Vellamo sighed, “This kind of curse would damage your body. It slowed down you’re healing and weakened your physical strength. It also can make you lose the appetite to eat.”Carissa recalled that this was indeed what had happened after she got the curse. No wonder she couldn’t hold on when she was punished by the blood-sucking leeches.“Master, is there a way to break the curse?”Master Vellamo pondered for a while before she
In the morning at the Werewolves Palace. Carissa was eating with the five elders. Snorean Sanctius, Kesatria Beowulf, Vinus Teshub, Iwan Haides & Millus Percival. The Royal Pack Leaders. Her Master, Vellamo Heliano, Leroy and Theia as well as Tychon were also present. Even Amarteus and his wife Kesaya were there. They chatted as they eat and sometimes laughed at a funny joke someone throws. "Ghost Leader, how did you come back?" Snorean asked. The group of people in the room couldn't help stifling their laugh when they heard Carissa's nickname created by Snorean himself. "Puppy Leader, would you rather have a threat wandering around you?" Carissa asked. She means that the vampires wanted a threat like her to disappear. She had no problem coming back since no one was stopping her. Mateo was unhappy with this, of course. However, since she couldn't take Ingvar away with her, she would definitely come back. This reassured him. Although he knows this tactic was despicable, he
Antonio's whole demeanour shook when he felt a shadow flash by him in a blink of an eye.Looking at Theia who was now in Leroy's embrace, he slowly turn his head to look at the woman in black in front of Leroy's group.Seeing her red eyes, Antonio almost could not believe his eyes. A vampire? What's a vampire doing with a pack of werewolves, witches and hybrids?He was about to ask who she was when a strong smell of blood engulfed his senses. He turned his head to the man who was holding Theia a few minutes ago and stiffened when he only saw a body without a head."Are you looking for this? Here you go!" the woman throw the head in her hand that was dripping with black blood toward Antonio.Antonio stood up in a flash and moved aside to avoid it.His face darkened by the provocation and asked with gritted teeth, "Who are you? How dare you interfere with my business?""Who am I?" the woman chuckled.She took a few steps forward with a smirk on her face. She stopped a few meters away
That night, Leroy and his subordinates and acquaintances made a move against the rogues.He spent a whole afternoon giving them information about the rogues. After that, they discussed a few strategies."Leroy, I can agree to lead the diversion. However, I don't understand. Since we are making a move on them with huge manpower, why don't we just raze them to the ground?" Tychon asked with dissatisfaction in his voice.Militia coughed, "Although I do agree with razing them to the ground, we can't forget that this huge manpower was not founded by us.""It's not impossible to use them to defeat enemies attacking us, however, if something unexpected happens, casualties can't be avoided.""At that time, who will take responsibility and explain to Rissa?" he continued.The meeting room went silent after hearing this.Tychon still pursed his lips in dissatisfaction, "She won't know if none of us spoke about it. Furthermore, even if she truly found this huge manpower, the witches can quit any
In the Werewolves Palace.A few months later.Loud footsteps reverberated on the ground as Leroy ran through the forest while avoiding obstacles along the way.On his left, a shadow passed him at the corner of his eyes and made him clench his teeth as he forced his legs to run faster.He had just jumped to avoid the tree lump on the ground when a buzzing sound came from his right.He immediately activated his magic shield and groaned when he was forced to take several steps back from the impact of the collision between his shield and the arrow shot at him.“Damn you, Militia! That’s cheating!” he roared before dashing forward.A howl of laughter was heard a few meters in front of him.“Keep up, pup!”His shoulder was tapped and the person disappeared before he could attack him.“Amarteus!” Leroy’s veins popped up at the side of his forehead.In an instant, a loud crack was heard before a howl rang out through the forest.“Damn it! He’s catching up!” Drusus and Ingo sped up when they h
"Ingvar!!"She covers her mouth in shock seeing her baby floating in the air.Hearing footsteps coming toward them, Carissa immediately closed the door behind her and locked it.She then dashed towards her baby, carefully reaching out for him and holding him in her arms.She watch as everything in the room that was floating along with her baby fall down on the floor gently.A knock on the door made her chest thump in fright."My Queen, what happened? Are you alright?" Nicanor asked."It's nothing. I'm fine." she patted the baby's back and hugged him with relief.She then put him on the crib once more before arranging the things inside the room back to their original position.Hearing the footsteps moving away from them, her tense nerves finally calmed down.She then took out a baby bottle of blood from a mini refrigerator on the table and use her spell to make it warm before she fed it to Ingvar.Ever since Mateo fed the baby a bottle of blood, the baby had never rejected it anymore.
Carissa could faintly feel a sharp pain in her neck before she completely passed out.Meanwhile, at the field, Mateo hold Carissa's body in his arms as glooms hovered above them.A few minutes after latching his fangs on her neck and sucking the poison from her blood, he finally retracted his fangs and stood up.He then walks towards the exit door which he had destroyed just now with coldness in his eyes."Mateo put her down! She had to take one more punishment and survive before you can take her out!" Empress Lamia's eyes were filled with glee when she saw Carissa's condition.One more. Just one more punishment and she'll die!Mateo's cold eyes darted to his mother, "Although you are the empress and my mother, that doesn't mean you can use that to touch my bottom line!""I'll take her next punishment in her stead. That should be enough payback for interfering with her punishment."He then turned around and left the forest and towards his residence.The healers were already waiting fo
