#Chapter42The Ball-01Catalaya's POVI AM NOW THE CROWNED PRINCESS OF HELL!!!!!Whew! Just had to get that off my chest. It felt so surreal like I was in a dream, and I would wake up any moment now to Jasmine cursing me out. I meant, how could this not be a dream? Me, Catalaya, the weak human rejected of the hybrid pack and a crowned princess of hell, all that sounded like some fantasy dream to me. I have to say I was so nervous when I walked into the room. After all, it was filled with so many people I didn't know all staring at me. It was absolutely terrifying, but I straightened my spine and did what needed to be done. I'm a hellion now and a princess, so I need to shed my cowardness and live up to the expectations of my people. After I'd been officially introduced and crowned, dad and a laughing Merlin kicked me to the crowd to go 'mingle'. So now here I was with a group of succubi talking about things. Well, more like them asking me about stuff I have no exp
#Chapter43The Ball-02"Of course, you deserve a happy ending, sweetie. We all do. I may not know much about heaven since I'm a hellion and all but I know the big guy isn't that cruel. You're like the purest person I've ever met in hell and on earth. So of course, you deserve a happy ending. What you don't see is that this is just the beginning of your life and the pain may be hard right now, but you're strong. I know you'll work your way through it. You may never know, a few centuries from now you'll find somebody whether they're a second chance mate or not, but you'll find somebody who'll see how beautiful and special you are and will love you unconditionally.""Thank you, Adonis, I just really needed to let all my feelings out without being pitied or someone feeling guilty because of my sadness," I said."Your welcome babe and I'm always here whenever you need me." he replied with a kiss on the forehead."Oh by the way I have something for you," he said, letting go of m
#Chapter44The Ball-03"Is it a mate bond? cause I didn't feel anything to support that I mean yeah I found him attractive but so would anyone else so I don't think that qualifies.""No not a mate bond this felt like something more powerful it was like his energy was being flowed through us and it gave me this feeling I'm not sure what it was"I could tell she was struggling really hard to figure this out, but I just told her not to worry. We'll figure it out when it's the right time plus, obviously, he's not my second chance mate because both Legacy and I would have felt it. And so I made my way into the castle to find my friends and party like there's no tomorrow. MEANWHILE, IN THE OTHER REALMSATLANTIS"What the hell kind of training is this? We can't fight unevolved creatures of the sea. Only king Adam knows how to defeat these things," a young man who was once a part of the hybrid pack shouted."You're right. Only the king can defeat one of these on his o
#Chapter45Training-01CATALAYA POVIt's been three days since the ball, and our summer was officially in full swing, and yet I couldn't seem to enjoy it as much as I would like. I kept having these weird dreams that I didn't understand. It was like pieces of different things happening all at once, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't put them together. It was becoming very frustrating.I couldn't dwell on that today though, because I have a long day ahead of me. I started training today. Not the regular training that I did. That was to learn control over my powers. Today I was beginning combat training, and I had no idea who my instructor would be, seeing as dad found it funny to not tell me.It was now 4:00 am, and I had to be in the front of the yard by 4:30. I quickly did my morning routine, pulled on some gym tights and a sports bra, and then made a beeline for the kitchen. Opening the fridge, I grabbed an apple and ate it on my way outside. It was 4:20 when I
#Chapter46Training-02UNKNOWN POVSHIT!I facepalmed.I didn't mean to hurt her feelings or make her cry. That was a stupid low blow."You're such an asshole," Orias, my dragon, said."I didn't mean to hurt her feelings. I thought it would have made her angry not make her cry," I defended."And you wonder why no one likes you?" he said, rolling his eyes."People like me.""Hmph," he snorted, then blocked our connection.Great now my own dragon didn't wanna talk to me.I closed my eyes, slowly releasing my demonic energy, trying to find Catalaya.Catalayasuch a unique name. Well, she is a unique girl.I remembered the other day when she bumped into me; I was shocked to see it was actually her. I'd been gone for a few months now on a special mission appointed by Lucifer himself. However, I was still aware of what went on down here, so imagine my surprise when I heard from Jacoby that the master had found his long-lost daughter. Then my anger spike
#Chapter47Training-03I knew it seemed cruel. But she needed to understand this world was way crueller than I was and unforgiving to people like us, so she needed to stop being a baby and grow the fuck up."WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!? ARE YOU FUCKING CRAZY YOU COULD HAVE KILLED ME I COULD HAVE DIED!" She yelled."But you didn't, did you?" I asked.I was expecting a shouted answer. Instead, I saw Cat visibly shaking, and her eyes kept changing colour from blue to blood red. I could tell her demon was about to make an appearance, so I readied myself for the onslaught that was about to come. However, nothing could prepare me for what happened next since she moved so fast.When she shifted, a white-haired creature stood before me with an aura so thick, so dense, so powerful it was slightly suffocating. She stomped her feet, and I felt the ground tremble before rising up and holding me in its clutch. Before I could even react, she stretched her hand up to the sky before bringi
#Chapter48Assurance-01ANDREAS POVKnock, knock, knock!"Come in."I opened the heavy wooden doors entering the office. He looked up when I came in, and a small smile graced his face."Andreas, right on time I was just about to call you.""Good day, your highness," I said with a bow."Have a seat," he motioned to the chair in front of his desk."So, status report. Have your contacts gotten back to you with info about those abominations?""Actually yes, I received two reports last night.""It seems they are no longer hiding in the shadows anymore, one by one they're starting to gather and they found someway to create others like them,""Shit!, this is what I didn't want to happen I knew I shouldn't have listened to Lena and just wipe them out from the beginning.""I'm curious as to why the moon goddess asked you not to kill them, they were created by that dark sorcerer so why spare a race born from evil?""She's all into that preserving of li
#Chapter49Assurance-02Going downstairs to start my search, luck was on my side since they were all in the den with their mates watching a movie. I saw Catalaya was with them as well."Hey guys," I made my presence known."Hey bro, where you been all day?" Eric asked."I was meeting with the king,""Hey Dre, you staying to watch the movie with us?" Cat asked."Dre!!????" All six of my siblings asked."Yeah, its short for Andreas. It's what I've been calling him since we started training. He was against it at first so we made a bet which I won so now I get to call him Dre." she told them with a triumphant smile like the one she had that day she won our bet. I let her win though."Keep telling yourself that," Orias said."Do you ever have anything positive to say to me?""Nope," he sassed before disappearing to the back of my mind."Wait, he let you call him that?" Brooke asked."Yeah, why do you sound so surprised?""Uhh nothing," she replied, gi
