Adam POV . . I was woken up by the loud ringing of the alarm outside or whatever that squeaking sound that was irritating my ears. My eyes squinted as I spread my arm to my side and felt a soft familiar skin. She was still in a deep sleep and goddess; she looked gorgeous and at peace. I just couldn't wake this goddess-like beauty beside me. I gently touched her soft pinkish cheek while staring deeply at her long and kneeling eyelashes. "What kind of kindness or courageous act have I done to have you as my reward?" I whispered. However, the loud ringing or sound outside was making my ears twitch. I creased my brows at the door and then shifted them to the sleeping beauty, who seemed to not be bothered by that annoying squeaking sound. I kissed her cheek, and she moaned. "Are you awake?" She whispered, smiling at me. I kissed her lips this time, and she wrapped her arms around my neck. "I have been watching you, my love!" I whispered. "That sound woke me up!" I added, a li
Collen POV . . What was this I felt at the moment? I was uneasy and somewhat unsettled. I was thinking of someone, and I hadn't seen her for a long time. I glanced around the wide garden in the palace and wandered for a while. My golden orbs flickered upon seeing a bee buzzing on top of this lavender flower. "Lavender!" I burst out in a whisper. I could recall someone who loved lavender so much. "Victoria!" The six-year-old high witch. No! A thousand-year-old high witch but was stuck in the body of her six-year-old self. "Hey, Collen!" Orora came in. "Have you seen Shiva? Or have you seen Amira come by?" She asked. Her face looked plastered. Her hands were sweating while they were clenched. Her eyes were glancing around. "I haven't. Why?" I asked as I observed her. She was anxious, but why? "Do you want to talk to them?" "Yes, I want to say something to you all. I already called Alaric. He is on his way!" If my thoughts were occupied by Victoria, Orora was also som
Collen POV . . "Are you sure about that? Beta Jackson, you are making a huge accusation if that is not true!" I exclaimed. My heart raced faster than usual. I was still gasping for breath when Orora came back, shaking her head. "It is the truth, Collen. I saw it with my eyes. She is now as tall as ~" "Don't say it!" I stopped him right away. "I don't want to hear it!" I whispered. I wanted to calm down, but my mind was foggy at the moment. "Orora, what have you found out?" "I can't find any answers to this phenomenon, Collen. I'm sorry. For now, we have to speak with her. Hopefully, she will allow us!" She reached for my hand and smiled. "I'm sure your friend will be fine, Collen!" I could see the genuine words in her tone. "I hope so. I don't want to see her growing up. I can't handle it just yet!" I told her while looking at the room where Victoria was. "What did you say? She was growing up?!" Orora asked, confirming. "Victoria was miraculously growing up?!" She ex
Collen POV . . "Hrm! Collen, Victoria is fine now. She said she is still feeling dizzy, but she can already walk normally!" Orora uttered while smiling teasingly at me. 'I'm the one who can't walk normally!' I told myself while my orbs were at her. "I can see that!" My mind was gentle to her, but my mouth was the one that was not cooperating. I saw her twitch her lips upon hearing my aggressive tone. "Victoria, you scared us in the camp. I am glad that you are okay now!" Beta Jackson tapped my arm before ambling towards the grown-up Victoria. "You've changed physically!" He also left a handsome smile, making my heart race in anger. "Thanks, Beta Jackson. I am not used to my new look yet. But I promise to work hard on this!" Goddess, her voice had changed, too. She was indeed a lady now. "Collen, aren't you going to greet Victoria?" Orora called, signaling me to come forward. "Hello, Victoria. I am glad that you are okay now!" I simply couldn't produce any long sent
Amira POV . . "There are lots of problems to solve not just here in the Atlantis, but also in the woods. First, we have to focus on the problems here!" "We will do as you command, Princess Amira. Commander-general Amet, what do you think?" One of the leaders of the Seven Seas asked my well-trusted warrior, who I could tell was pissing my mate off in silence. "Hrmm! Before I draw out my opinion about this, I would like to know the future prince's opinion first!" He was deliberately testing Adam's wit. I was aware that Amet had never had a good relationship with Delmar in the past. However, Adam had no idea about that. He couldn't remember Amet as one of his best warriors before. "I agree with your Princess, Commander-general Amet!" Adam made his voice louder. "The Atlanteans are for the water. Therefore, before you deal with the problems on the land, you better fix the problems in your own surroundings first!" He was right. "Since, Amira!" He intertwined his hand with my
Orora POV . . Sometimes, Alaric was really annoying. But I could understand him. All he wanted was for his siblings to be happy and safe. Now, he was using his authority again. However, how could I tell my mate about this? My siblings and I had just talked about my decision to live in Ruben's kingdom, and he exclaimed and refused. He demanded the dragon king's presence in his castle in Yorkshire along with the clans of vampires. "A penny for your thoughts?!" That was Shiva, almost giving me a heart attack. I pressed my chest while giving her a glare. "Wow! The most powerful witch is startled?! Unbelievable!" Shiva shook her head while smiling. "Don't ever do that to me again, Shiva. It isn't funny!" I told her while staring at her belly bump. "How's my niece doing?" I asked as I touched her belly. The baby kicked right away. "I think she already answered my question!" I smiled at her. "Hmm! She is as strong as her aunts. What can I say? By the way, Logan told me about yo
Orora POV . . 'Alaric, Amira! Come to the land of the reptilia. Collen has shifted to his dragon form to save Victoria!' I didn't think twice about telling them about Victoria anymore. They had to come here quickly. Collen was just blowing fire to the vast forest. The reptilians ran and tried to escape the heat and flames, but a few of them had been burned alive. 'What the heck is Victoria doing there? We don't have any problems with the reptilians. Do not touch them, and they won't touch us!' Alaric explained. Everyone knew that the reptilians were dangerous creatures in nature brought to Earth by their reptilian god, Talon. However, they were isolated from other creatures. They had their own lands and own life. They didn't mingle with the other creatures even if they were just separated by forest borders. 'You have to tame Collen. We're on our way!' Amira butted in. 'Goodness, Orora. Talk to Collen now. That wildfire can reach the human lands and the other werewolf packs
Victoria POV . . Honestly, the way he protected me earlier was making my heart flutter. The way he stared at me could make me melt. But the way he spoke to me could really make my head explode into fury. What was this feeling I had for him? Could he really be my mate? Could this be love? What? Love?! No! No way! There was no way that I would fall for someone I used to play tiger ride or wolf ride just last week. There was just no way! "Hey, what are you thinking?" Orora nudged my arms. "You've been muttering something, but we couldn't understand everything that you're mumbling!" I was muttering?! I didn't even realize that I was doing that. "Nothing! I was just thinking about our situation now!" I glanced at Collen, who was standing near the bars. He was observing the guards outside. At the moment, we were in the dungeon. This place was stinky, dirty, and smelly. It looked like some creatures were left here rotten to die. There were rats and bugs everywhere. I
Orora POV . . I was feeling dizzy. The venom of this snake was strong. I wanted to lie down and sleep, but I couldn't. Every time they shook me, I felt like my brain was also being shaken. I was praying to the moon goddess that my mate had been informed by Collen. That was his plan. Since Amira and Alaric had already told the king of Shadow Rock about us, Collen needed to do the last task. "Who among them dared to challenge my authority?!" The lizard king was furious. "I am!" Both Victoria and I answered with the same tone. I was never scared of him, even when he was that enormous. He might have forgotten who made him wriggle like a little worm. "It was me, lizard king!" I uttered with sarcasm. "She is lying. How can she challenge you when she is this weak now. By the way, your warriors just exposed your plan!" Victoria exclaimed. We were both trying to buy them some time until the rescues arrived. The reptilian king glanced at his warriors. I smirked at how scared t
