"Rissa, I'm so sorry!"
Those were Ulrica's first words when she woke up and found Carissa sitting with a dark face on the couch.
Leroy and the others stand in the middle with grave faces. They watch as Ulrica sat up and stumbled onto the floor and kneel in front of Carissa.
Carissa had her eyes closed with one of her hands supporting her head and the other was laying on the other side of the couch.
The aura and atmosphere inside the room were heavy and depressing. Ulrica kept her head down all the time as sweat rolled down from her face and onto the floor as she waited for Carissa's punishment.
She hated herself for not being able to sense the arrival of their enemy and that she failed to stop them from taking the baby.
She knew she made a mistake, that she was careless and she wouldn't complain if Carissa want to punish her.
"Who?"
After a long time, Carissa's voice finally echoed in the room. It was cold and also full
The soldiers followed their leader’s action in a rush. Some were confused and some had known the reason why the general was scared of her.Carissa squinted her eyes before waving her hand and walking past them with her hands behind her back."Take me to the palace!""Yes, My Queen!" the general immediately stood up and went to escort her on his own.After all, they had heard an order from Mateo not to block her way if she comes.It didn't take long for Carissa to arrive at the palace. She stopped in front of the big palace and narrowed her eyes. She's back to hell.She then turns her body and walks to Mateo's residence with a calm look. She ignores the stares she was getting from the vampires as well as their fear of her.When they arrive in front of the palace, Carissa saw Nicanor waiting for her at the door with a smile on his face."My Queen. You are back."Carissa glanced at him and only gave a
Carissa pushed him away and delivered a hard slap to his face.Plak!Mateo was stunned for a moment as his hand went to touch his throbbing cheek. He then slowly turned towards Carissa and saw her red eyes looking at him with hatred as well as disappointment.Carissa stared at him straight in the eyes and said, “I.hate.you!”Mateo open his mouth but couldn’t form a word. So, he just watch as she turn around and went to the baby’s room.His heartbeat couldn’t help but speed up when he saw her carrying the baby out of its room. He flashed towards the door and spread his arm to block her way.“If you want to leave, go, but the baby will stay with me,” he said so because he knew Carissa wouldn’t leave the baby alone here.If he kept the baby here, Carissa would not leave and she will have to stay by his side. Although this method was wrong, he was helpless thinking about how
Vellamo Heliano opens her purple eyes slowly and looked at the person kneeling before her. Carissa Vasileiou was the daughter of the hunter's king. She was also the child she trained when she was on the run from the werewolves as well as the vampires. The hunters shielded her when she wanted protection and she trained Carissa in return. That was why Carissa knows how to cast even the most difficult spell of the hunters. She also learns of thousand knowledge and strategies from her. Vellamo was someone who had spent her life on the run with her tribes. In other words, she had experienced a tough life and learned how to survive. Her nose immediately catches on to the strange smell coming from Carissa, "Why are you here? How did you get in?" Carissa lowered her head. She didn't know how to tell her master that her mate was a vampire king and she also gave birth to his baby. "Master, I'm sorry." Vellamo saw
The moment they vanish, Carissa turned around and immediately found herself surrounded by the elders as well as the others with a chain in their hands.Her heart thumped and try to move from where she was standing when she felt herself being pulled back by the chains that wrapped themselves around her body.Carissa fall back onto the ground, unable to struggle out of the grip of the chain that was obviously embedded with magic."Bring her to the dungeon!" Empress Lamia ordered.Carissa's eyes flashed with a dangerous aura when she saw Mateo who was looking at her from far away with a dazed look on his face.She gave him one last glare before she was dragged forward by the stronger vampires into the dungeon where her master had been.She was then chained with the same chain they were using on a steel bar above her head.Along the way, she didn't even struggle nor did she take action against any of them. This should mak
Carissa heard a baby's cries and struggled to open her eyes. A blurry image of a teary Mateo with a baby in his arm came into her view before her vision went dark."Rissa!" Mateo try to shake awake but failed."Hold him." he passed the baby to Nicanor before lifting Carissa into his arms.They then strode out of the dungeon and towards his residence.Along the way, Mateo was engulfed with regret as well as anger. If only he resisted his parents as well as the elders' order, Carissa wouldn't have been in this state now.He was aware of their hatred and malice towards Carissa but thought that they wouldn't hurt her for his sake. How wrong he was!He was angry at himself for turning a blind eye on the mate he'd been waiting for for decades. He truly didn't deserve her!"Rissa, stay with me!"Mateo gritted his teeth and tighten his hold onto Carissa's body as he ran faster.The healers were summoned immediat
Mateo open his mouth but was interrupted by the baby’s cries once again. He look at the baby beside her and was about to take him into his arms when Carissa beat her to it.Immediately after, the baby ceased crying and let out a giggle as Carissa played with him.“He’s such a crybaby.” Mateo sighed helplessly.He didn’t recall himself crying like that in his childhood.Carissa forgot the tense atmosphere they were having and smiled tenderly towards the baby.Mateo was mesmerized by her beauty once again and his heart couldn’t help beating fast inside his heart as he stared at the woman before him.She gave birth to his child and had even stayed behind at the cost of her life just so she could help the witches escape.Mateo also realizes that she could actually escape without fail if she wanted to, but she stayed because he threatened her with the baby.Mateo
Meanwhile, back in Werewolves Palace.Leroy was training at the back of Percival’s residence when a guard came up to him.“Young Prince! Someone at the palace gate is looking for you.”Leroy walk up to him and took the towel from the servant who was waiting at the side. He wiped the sweat on his face and neck as he walked towards the palace gate with the guard.“Who was it?” he asked as he hang the towel around his neck.“From the information given, there were a group of strange people.”Leroy raised an eyebrow. Strange people? That’s a first.Who would be bold and daring enough to approach the Werewolves Palace?From afar, Leroy saw a group of people at the gate and suddenly a breathtaking smell wafted to his nose. His heartbeat suddenly sped up as his emotions began to stir.Theia Nikandros was busy complaining to his brother, Tychon Nikandros, about the
A month after.“You want to be my sister’s mate? You can dream!” Tychon crossed his arms as he look at Leroy in front of him.Leroy narrowed his eyes dangerously, “It’s been a month. Theia should live in my residence now since she’s my mate.”Tychon pursed his lips. He doesn’t approve of his sister’s relationship with this werewolf. He didn’t want his sister to get hurt like Leroy’s parents.Furthermore, this so calls cooperation with the werewolves, hunters, hybrids and witches might only be temporary and the chance for it to succeed is small.Since Carissa’s mate was a vampire, would she be able to kill him with her own hands? Could she really bear to kill her son’s father?Furthermore, if someone kills their mate, it would be detrimental to them as well. There was a rumour going around saying that a person who killed their mate will become a rogue.Could she
