Over 700 years after the death of King Elijah and Queen Celeste, their son Micah ruled over the world. After searching endlessly for his mate, he gave up hope thinking he would rule the world alone for he was the only one to have ever lived for such a long time. When words got to the king that the omegas (humans) have been escaping 'his world' to live in the ruin for almost two decades he became livid going to the ruins to kill them all and teach others never to cross him. What Micah never expected was for his mate to be lurking in the ruined palace hiding from the harsh and brutal world he created and he never expected his mate to be human. "I found you.. Mate" He breathes bringing his hand to cup my cheeks but i snapped my head backwards. "I would never be yours" I said breathing harshly while glaring at him.
Lihat lebih banyakI had always longed for adventure. Papa use to say that would be the end of me if I kept Fantasizing about the world beyond the ruins but that never stopped me from dreaming.
I sat with my legs hanging out the window from the ruined palace staring at the setting sun as snow lightly fell on the ground. I have been living in the ruins for almost ten years now, Mama and papa thought it would be more better to flee and hide away from those monsters as they say.
I could still remember how they treat we humans, they treat us like we are below them, like trash. We were called Omegas, the weakest of them all. I sigh and turned around with my legs now inside the palace before jumping and walking down the hall. I had to get some vegetables that I planted out, in the garden before it gets dark.
When I got outside I greet a few people with a wave and a smile. We use to be about one hundred and fifty people living in the ruins but now we are only about eighty. They all died from the cold and hungry and papa was among one of them.
I wrapped my hands around myself and rubbed my shoulders trying to keep myself warm. My brown sweater had holes and them and was now thin and faded from constantly using them everyday for almost six years and my boots had worn out, bigger than my feet but at least it kept my feet warm.
I quickly stepped inside the guarden and sighed as my body became warm, I called it the enchanted garden. No matter how cold it is or how hot, the temperature here would remain the same-warm and plants grow really fast here.
One of the older refuges, named Mr. cole, discovered the garden two years ago when he fled from the beasts world to live in the ruins. When the snow rained heavily and all our plants died from the cold. We all would have starved to death if not when Mr cole has brushed his hand against the snow, looking for what he would eat when he saw a single rose, covered under snow yet looking healthy and fresh. We then planted some maize and within a few days, we harvested them.
Getting on my knees and pulling out some of the vegetables from my part of the garden, I dropped them in my basket then dust the snow that had gathered on my shoulders while dragging the basket back with me to the palace.
"Ma" I called when I opened the door to the room where mom and I are staying in.
"Lovette" mom mumbled from the bed, raising her head up and using her elbow to support herself as she offered me a smile.
I dropped the vegetables at our... Little kitchen before sauntering towards mom. I sat at the edge of the bed placing the back of my palm on her forehead checking her temperature.
I frowned when I noticed that her temperature has increased and I swear, I could use it to warm water. "You're getting Worst" I stated moving my hand towards her neck but she smack it away.
"I'm fine" she said waving it off but I knew she was far from fine.
My mom had a habit of doing that — making a small deal out of something big. Just like how she said she was fine when dad died but I could hear her late night cries. Or when she said she was fine after giving me her nuts to eat just so I wouldn't go hungry but starve herself for days. Or when she said she's fine but coughs out blood every fucking day.
She's definitely not fine.
There was nothing I could do though, there wasn't any drugs here in the ruins not after 'our guy' was caught by the beast when he was trying to sneak out drugs from the castle.
It was said that he was tortured to give out information as to where he was taking the drugs to but they gave up when he would not ulter a word and finally killed him. Not after cutting his tongue off for keeping silent.
Mom took my hand in hers giving it a little squeeze, snapping me out of my thoughts and giving me a smile. I could only offer her a sad one in return as I gazed at her brown eyes that looked lifeless. Lifeless as in the brown in her eyes turning a pale gray just like her skin and her cheeks hallowed.
I got up, moving towards the little space we call kitchen and preparing our dinner.
I made sure ma finished her veggies before turcking her to bed for the night. Honestly, I felt like the parent-not that I am complaining.
When I noticed that she was asleep, I climed in my bed, pulling the cover over my body and placing my hand my stomach and joining my fingers together in form of a web thingy.
I looked up at the ceiling, fantasizing about how it would be to be mated to a werewolf.
Was it dumb of me to have such thoughts when we are literally slaves to them? Yes. But does that stop me from fantasizing? Fuck no.
After a few minutes of me day dreaming of how amazing it would be to literally have a soulmate, I drifted off to sleep.
~~~~~
Boom!!
I jerked up from sleep as the loud noise rang through the entire castle shaking it from it's foundation. The sound came again this time, accompanied with growls and sneers making a few brick fall to the floor and the walls crack.
I could here people shouting and screaming behind our door and I was confused. I flinged the cover over my body and rushed over to mom side. I was surprised that she was still asleep with all the chaos going on around her.
"Ma" I said shaking her but he all she did was groan and I became annoyed.
"Get up. We have to go" I gritted out pulling the cover down.
"What's happening?" She asked, finally waking up as she sat on her bed.
I moved back to my side, putting on my shoes and sweater. "They are here mom, the beasts"
Her eyes widen after those words and she hurryily put on her shoes, not bothering to put on her sweater as it was already on her.
I gave her a rag to clean the blood that was already dripping down from her nose.
I held moms hand as we left the room, joining the people that were running for their lives through the emergency tunnel.
I looked up at the dark bluish sky when we were all out of the castle and sighed in relief when there was no wolf in sight.
"We're safe" I said to mom as we all started to move towards the wood but I spoke too soon.
Wolfs started running our w*y with the teeths snapping at us.
Everyone scattered, the whole place was chaos. Wolfs torn the fleshes of human, crys of pain and grief was in the sky. My breathing increased.
I looked down at my hand to see that I was no longer holding on to moms hand. Where was she? I asked myself looking around in panic. Where the fuck was she?!
A growl made me snap my head to the side when I saw a wolf running straight towards me. My eyes widen and it felt like it was in slow motion as it kept running towards me.
I was paralyzed. I couldn't move.
Was this how it would end for me? A twenty two year old torn to pieces who never got to see the world beyond the ruins?
I mentally and physically prepared myself for the impact, the pain I would feel and hopefully, it would be a quick death.
When it jumped up, it's mouth wide open ready to bite my head off but I was pushed to the side making whoever pushed me to take the pain and torture of the wolves bite for me.
I fell to the blood covered snow with a thud. Half of my face and hands covered by the blood.
When I looked at the person who had pushed me, I gasped and a cry left my lips.
Mom was being torn to pieces. The wolf was without mercy at it bit into her skin, pulling the skin and devouring it.
The beast turn towards me after it was done with mom and without wasting any time it opened it's wide mouth about to bite my leg but was pushed my another wolf.
I could not focus on that as I crawled toward my mother's lifeless body. I held her head in my arms... Crying, sobbing as I shook her but all she did was stare. Her eyes were lifeless-literally this time.
"I'm sorry" I rasped out kissing the top of her head before closing her eyes.
It was silent except for a few growls here and there. There was no cries of people-humans in pain. Nothing at all.
I got to my feet with my head cast down. Slowly, I raised my head looking at my surrounding and biles raised to my mouth from the sight before me.
There was blood everywhere. Dismounted bodies scattered on the snow covered ground. The wolves were all staring at me.
I stumbled backwards when a very very large white wolf ambled towards me. When it was a out a feet away from me, it shited-or rather he shifted.
The man before me was beautiful. Even with the scar that ran down from his left eyebrow down to his cheek he was still fucking attractive but I should not be thinking of that.
He killed my mother-I should not find him attracted.
He killed my friend, my people-I should not want to be near this man with white hair and I had to tell myself that.
"I found you.. Mate" He breathed bringing his hand to cup my cheeks but i snapped my head backwards.
"I would never be yours" I said breathing harshly while glaring at him.
Lovette’s POV:I bit my lip as I remembered Micah’s words. “I love you my little wolf.” I smiled as I massaged my scalp with the shampoo, releasing a sigh as the spring water felt nice against my skin.It had been over two weeks since the war ended, and although it was over, Micah hadn’t come back to the castle since he and my brother were still taking care of the Dannas kingdom.Hands wrapped around me, and I raised my head out of the water, gasping and trying to push whoever it was away.“Shhhh. It’s just me,” he whispered.I paused as his hot breath hit my neck, sending shivers down my spine. “Micah,” I breathed out, spinning around to look at his face.“You’re back,” I grinned, and he cupped my face with his right hand.“I missed you,” he mumbled, his lips landing on the side of my jaw, and his other hand pulling me closer to him.I wrapped my hands around his neck and my legs around his hips. I bit my lip as I looked at his face, and he smirked, walking us to the edge of the pool
Micah’s POV“I choose him,” Lovette said, and my heart filled with love. Danna hissed, and the red snake wrapped around her crawled into her mouth, transforming her into a massive red snake.“Stupid girl!” Danna hissed, slamming her tail on the floor. I pulled Lovette behind me, trying to protect her.Drawing my sword, I aimed it at Danna, who only laughed. “You think you can defeat me?” she questioned. I had already shifted between wolf and man, enhancing my senses.I growled, baring my teeth. “We’ll see about that.”“Oh, how I’ve longed for this,” Danna hissed, her scales scraping across the muddy floor. “How king I have dreamed of destroying everything you and everything your father once loved,” she added, her voice laced with venom.Lovette held on to me, shaking with fear. I turned to her and whispered, “Run.”I placed the sword on my hips and shifted into my wolf, my eyes piercing gold. Before I could react, Danna’s massive body coiled around me, slamming me against the wall an
Micah's POVI stood at the top of a hill with my armor on, next to Hayden. We looked down at the Witches' kingdom that would soon crumble to the ground. I turned to Hayden and tapped him on the shoulder. "It's time."It was nighttime, which gave us an advantage against our enemies. We could see at night, but they couldn't. I turned around to my men, who were ready to fight, and spoke with my head held high."My brothers, today we fight not just for ourselves, but for our entire Kingdom," I declared, my golden eyes flashing with determination. "We will show these witches that our strength and courage cannot be matched and that our loyalty to each other and our land will never falter." I paused, looking at each of their determined faces. I took a deep breath and glanced at Hayden.They all roared in agreement, their spirits lifted, and my confidence unwavering. "We all know the plan, and together, we fight and we win!"They all raised their weapons in a salute to me, and with a fierce h
Micah's POV:The door to the meeting room swung open when the guards saw me. I could feel their wolves submitting fully to me, while mine puffed his chest in pride. My beta and the other war planners were all seated, and immediately stood up when they noticed my presence in the room.I took a seat at the head of the table, my hands curling around the handle, and released a deep sigh as I looked at the men in the room. My eyes landed on Leonardo, whose gaze would not move from me, but before I could speak up, my Beta did.“Alpha King,” he started, drawing my attention towards him. “What are we to do about our enemies? They keep attacking the small packs.”The others began to murmur in agreement, and I stared at them blankly. “If you think I am going to do nothing about it, then why am I seated here?”The room went silent, and the Head of the Guards cleared his throat and turned to me. “We do not doubt you, Sire, but the people are scared.”“He is right, Sire,” Andrea spoke up, her voic
Lovette's POVI and Micah were ready to leave Hayden's kingdom. I opened the door, and Hayden was standing there. "Hayden..." I said his name with a smile, which he returned."I'll miss you." He said, his lips turning down, and I couldn't help but rush into his arms for a hug. "I will see you soon, brother," I mumbled, breaking the hug, and Hayden chuckled.Micah soon joined us, his right hand wrapping around my waist, and his gaze upon me."Micah." My mate turned to look at my brother, and they both looked at each other for a while before Micah chuckled.They shook hands, and Micah spoke up. "Once I get to my castle, I will send you the plans on the war. This is our battle to fight, Hayden."Hayden nodded once more, and I grabbed my mate's hand and gave it a gentle squeeze, then turned to Hayden. "Be safe," he mumbled, and I smiled at him. "I will."The gates of the castle were open, and when we were outside, Micah turned to look at me. "You will ride my back."I couldn't help but bl
Micah's POVI jumped out of my seat with a sneer. Lovette grasped my hand with fear in her eyes as the walls shook again."Micah…" she whispered my name, and I bent a little and cupped her cheeks in mine."I'll protect you," I said to her and placed a kiss on her lips.I followed Hayden out of the room and asked him what was going on."The Witches are outside the castle trying to bring it down. Turns out they have destroyed a few of my villages too," he growled, and I scoffed."Been there."Guards were moving all about the halls, and the others kept running for their lives."What do we do now?" I questioned as we stopped behind the closed door that was beginning to break off.Hayden's guards had already gathered behind us, and he turned his head to look me in the eye. "Help me protect my castle."I smirked as I felt my wolf's excitement as we prepared to attack, but I knew better than to let her take over completely. I needed to stay in control and make sure I didn't do anything too r
MICAH'S POVHayden led us to a room where Devina quickly drew a circle with white chalk on the wooden floor. She placed candles around it, murmuring words I could not understand as she lit them up.Devina took out a cup and a knife from her bag and walked over to Hayden, who was standing next to me by the wall and kept on chanting. He nodded at her and stretched his palm towards her.She quickly made a cut on his palm and a few drops of blood entered the cup. "Step into the circle and kneel," she said to me and placed the cup and knife in front of me."Adhuc mea vox in umbra terrae audita est, sed nunc verba mea tibi salutem ferent. Per sanguinem vitae, per spiritum naturae, per arcanum potestatemque aeternam, ego te medicabo." She chanted in a loud voice and walked around the circle.I blinked, balled my hands into fists as it felt like it became hard for me to breathe. I began to gasp for air, and every inch of my body felt like lava was poured on it. I groaned and growled as the pa
MICAH'S POVI held onto Lovette’s hand while the healer tried to save her life. She wasn’t getting any better. Hayden stood by the door with a frown on his lips as he stared at his sister.I still couldn't believe that he said My mate, Lovette was his sister. Hayden left the room, and after a few minutes, he came back.“Micah,” he said my name, and I frowned as I looked at him. He is the reason my mate is on this bed, fighting for her life.It felt wrong as I left my mate's hand and followed Hayden out of the room. We stood outside the door, looking at each other, and I had my hands crossed over my chest.“I will give you my blood,” he said after a heartbeat. “Only because I know that mates can help heal each other,” he added.I frowned again. Of course, I was delighted to finally get his blood after all these months, but the only reason this was happening was because of my mate.“It doesn’t work that way, Hayden,” I muttered while tossing a strand of hair that lay sticking on my temp
MICAH'S POVI held the hand of the innocent girl, who was pretending to be Hayden's mate. It was a risky plan, but at this point, I had no other choice. I needed to find my own mate, Lovette, to bring her home and I pray that by bringing the girl to Hayden and pretending she was his mate, I could trick him into sparing my life and letting us go.As we entered the castle gates, the guards looked at us warily but didn't stop them. I felt a knot in my stomach as we walked down the halls towards Hayden's throne room. I looked around the room with a frown. Hayden and his guards were the only ones in the room.When they finally reached them, Hayden was sitting on his Throne and i looked around wondering where my mate was. "Where is my mate?" I asked him, putting on a confident front while his lips turned down. But he said nothing, instead he slowly walked towards us, his eyes locked on the girl who was now shaking in fear with her head down.Hayden watched her for a moment, his lips turned
