Mateo flashed in front of the servant and gripped her shoulders tightly, “Where is she?”
“Bed…Bedroom…” the servant answered weakly as her body trembled with fear.
Mateo pushed her aside and rushed towards his bedroom, barging in like a mad bull.
He stood by the door as he panted and looked at the pale woman lying silently on the bed. The doctors who were attending to her immediately stood aside and lowered their heads when they saw him.
Mateo’s heart felt like it was being squeezed out and made him breathless. He stepped forward and walked towards her with heavy steps.
The temperature inside the room turned even lower to the point that the doctors felt like they were standing on a desolated ice mountain.
Mateo sat beside the bed and his trembling hands reached for her cold hand. His gaze never left her face ever since he entered the room.
He rubbed her cold fingers with his
Mateo was still in his study. Inspecting his subordinates’ reports until late at night. He didn’t even come down for dinner as he doesn’t have the appetite.Carissa was still lying silently on the bed and shows no sign of waking up.The palace was very quiet since Mateo’s rampage.That was until an injured vampire broke into his residence.“Your Majesty, our people were attacked!” Nicanor broke into Mateo’s study in anxiousness.Mateo’s eyes darken, “Who dares to attack us?”The injured vampire was leaning onto his friend outside the door. Mateo walk towards him and asked coldly, &ldq
He then saw the black figure floating in the sky and immediately jumped in its direction.The woman saw him coming and cursed, “Damn it! Let’s go!”Mateo balled his hand into a fist and gave up chasing before he landed back onto the ground and saw the massacre of hunters.The manipulated vampire finally came back into their senses but the damage was done.The only one left standing was Carissa’s comrades who were protecting Arta and Roxana behind them.Mateo saw this and blood immediately filled his eyes. He growls furiously and the vampires around him became the victim for him to vent his anger.Arta and the rest were stunned when they saw Mateo who look like a killing machine, killing his own subordinate cruelly.Few of the vampires tried to defend themselves in futile attempts. In that critical situation, the elders, as well as Mateo’s friends arrived just in time to stop him.M
Just at that moment, footsteps rang behind her. Empress Lamia's mocking voice rang out, “Yo…What happened? Aren’t you still able to talk arrogantly just now? Why are you sitting on the dirty floor now?” “Aiya…Aunt, don’t tease her. Look at her face. It looks like she's going to cry soon.” Philippa sang along. Carissa’s ears were ringing with their mocking words. She was so stunned by what she saw that she didn’t even move from her spot nor was she blinking. She just kept staring at her parents as well as her comrades who were tied up like an animal. Dried blood flows down from their heads to their toes and the whole cells were tainted red. Pak! Arta, Roxanna and comrades were shocked when they saw her and was startled when the slap landed on Carissa’s face. Only when she received a slap on her face did Carissa finally wake up from her frozen state. Her body tilted to the side from the stron
Leroy who was also dragged out from another prison struggled ferociously as the guard dragged him forward. His body was close to shifting into his beast form when he saw Carissa who was held by Mateo. Carissa also saw him and began to struggle even harder to the point that her neck was turning red from Mateo’s grip. It wasn’t enough to strangle her but enough to make her stay still in her place. “Father! Mother! Mateo, you fucking bastard! Let me go, right fucking now!!” The first to be executed was Carissa’s parents. Both of them look at Carissa with love and sadness in their eyes. “Live well.” Slosh! Carissa watch in horror as her parent’s heads rolled to the ground after saying that to her. She felt as if her heart was gripped tightly by a strong force as her chest began to suffocate with sadness. “No!” Her voice rang into the empty air as her parent’s body landed on the ground with a thud.
Carissa and his comrades as well as Leroy escaped from the Vampire’s territory in a dead of night. They only stopped to rest halfway before continuing their journey back to the Hunter Palace.Her uncle, Pelagius and his wife Eudocia as well as her cousin, Hilarion was having a celebration with their other family members as well as their loyal follower.After holding on for a long time, they finally got the chance to rule over the hunter and replace Arta and Roxanna.“Ha, ha, ha! Enjoy, everyone! We have finally realized our dream! They must have been all finished by the vampires by now!”“Ha, ha, ha! Congratulations, Sir Pelagius! We’ll look forward to you ruling over us! Please take care of us in the future!”Many of them congratulated him as he sat on Arta’s throne.This was what Carissa saw when they arrive panting.“You bastard!”Carissa growled as
“Damn it! Why didn’t you get rid of that bastard’s child?!”He was angry when she didn’t give him an answer and left. Not long after that, he came and forced his way in to move into her residence.“I’ll live here from now on. Since you wanted to keep this baby, I’ll help you. When the child came out later, I’ll definitely teach him to not recognize his father! Hmph!”Carissa’s mouth had suddenly twitched then and found herself drawing a little smile on her face.“How do you know it's a he? What if it’s a girl instead?”Leroy had his back on her as he packed his clothes into the wardrobe in the bedroom beside her.“It’s intuition. But, if it’s a girl, it’ll be good too. I’ll make her stronger than her father so that she can avenge her grandparents!”***“Why don’t we take a rest fir
In the morning, the group of hunters and hybrids march towards the Werewolves Palace at full speed. The werewolves were taken by surprise and didn't manage to block them from invading their barrier. The hunters and hybrids march on towards the palace as they fought with the werewolves. Weak women and children cry out of fear and run to hiding. The werewolves fought with vigour considering that their people were numerous. Even though half of the guards went to the war camp, there would not have trouble defending themselves from an attack. Seeing that more and more of their people had fallen down, Militia and his comrades dashed forward to help. Leroy stood beside Carissa with a slight frown on his face. Their goal was to defeat the werewolves and made them surrender not to eliminate them. After all, they need a strong army. But, he was still a little worried that the hybrids would cross their line. Carissa saw his expres
The hunters and hybrids stayed in the Werewolves Palace. The palace was in the middle of the vast kingdom. Five months had passed by as they trained their men, build and improve weapons as well as developed different strategies. Under the leaders’ watchful eyes, the men didn’t dare to slack off. Snorean and Carissa stood side by side as the other four Royal King stood behind them. Leroy, Militia, Arta and Lyra stood beside them. They watch their men’s training on the field from the high bridge. At the same time, weapon makers on the other side work fast without a pause to ensure they make the right amount of weapons on time. “Five months have passed. What is your evaluation, Puppy Leader?” Carissa asked. Snorean’s eyes twitch when he heard this. No matter how many times he heard it from the past few months, it never failed to irritate him. “Well, Ghost Leader, except for the provision of the huge food, I don’t see any o
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
