(Aiden’s POV)It has been a week since Migumi’s departure, and it has been hellish in the Kingdom since then. The werewolves once healed by Prince Anthony began dying one after another. Their bodies, after a brief recovery, suddenly collapsed, and died shortly after.The first to fall was the son of Gamma Rafael. He was among the strongest, his recovery from Anthony’s medicine was what pushed the people to believe in his cure. But one morning, he didn't rise from his bed. His breathing was shallow, and his skin had taken on a pallid, almost translucent hue.By the time the royal healer reached him, he was already gone."No... no, no, no," Gamma Rafael whispered, his voice cracking as he knelt beside his lifeless body. The other werewolves gathered around, their faces a mix of fear and confusion. I placed a comforting hand on his shoulder, his eyes dark with worry."This shouldn't be happening," Gamma Rafael said, his voice barely above a whisper. "He was getting better. They were all
(Migumi’s POV)In the depths of the forest, shadows danced beneath the thick canopy as my werewolf team and I engaged in a deadly battle against the puppets controlled by Dianne. The air was thick with the scent of damp earth and blood from our fallen warriors. Dianne’s malevolence spread like an invisible net over the forest.Dianne is here. My wolf can smell her scent. She’s near. She’s probably somewhere hiding in the dark bushes and watching us.I have to be vigilant. She must be observing, waiting for the perfect opportunity to attack.“Watch out!” James alerted, his eyes filled with worry while holding puppets himself.I immediately swung my sword when I heard an incoming attack from behind. My weapon brutally pierced the puppet’s chest, dark blood coming out of its mouth. Its lifeless body dropped on the ground.I didn't even have enough time to recover because more of those puppets came rushing to attack me.I fought valiantly, my sword flashing in the dim light as I slashed a
(Aiden’s POV)‘Chase her!’I watched at the disappearing figure of Dianne escaping in the darkness. My instincts screamed at me to chase after Dianne, but I hesitated, my gaze shifting to my unconscious mate.She lays among the fallen bodies of the werewolf squad members, and Tara's lifeless form lay beside her.Tara… Tara’s dead.Shit.“No, we need to make sure our mate is safe first,” I said, making my wolf hissed in frustration. I glanced at my Beta who is helping in clearing the puppets that are coming out way. “Catch her…” I ordered.Beta Marvin didn't waste any time, and went after the spot where Dianne had disappeared.I hurried to Migumi’s side. Her condition is visibly deteriorating, her breaths are shallow and labored. I couldn't contain my worry as I carry her in my arms."Love..." I began, my voice choked with unspeakable pain.I should have come sooner. This wouldn't have happened if I insisted on coming with her. I shouldn't have let her go here alone.My heart skipped a
(Migumi’s POV)“You think you can win against me?” Dianne asked, her smirk widening.I clenched my fists.She’s tough because she’s standing on top of a hill where I can't reach her. Why doesn't she get down here and face me like the cunning woman she has always been?“Stop this, Dianne. You are taking away innocent lives!” I shouted, my voice laced with a mixture of fury and hopelessness. “You needn't have to make those people suffer. They didn't do anything wrong to you.”Her face darkened.Suddenly, a ball of dark energy appeared in her hand, glowing diabolically against the light. My eyes grew big when she suddenly lifted an unconscious man from the ground. She made him stand still beside her like a puppet she should control with her hands.“AIDEN!” I screamed on the top of my lungs.“Should I do him like what I did to your friend?” she mocked, her fingers playfully manipulating the dark energy around his unconscious body.The memory of my dead friend flashed back to my mind. Her
(Migumi’s POV)“Charlotte is here?” I confirmed, looking at Abigail who silently followed behind me. The young princess nodded with a hint of worry on her face.She tried to stop me many times on our way here, but I didn't listen. She said that it’s not good for me to speak with the woman who tried to kill me in our friendly match. I understand where she’s coming from.Abigail is probably just worried, especially that her brother specifically told her to take care of me.I scanned the dark, hidden prison with a crumpled expression.The dungeon is cold and damp with the heavy scent of mildew hanging in the air. Torches flickered along the stone walls, casting eerie shadows that served as our light along the way. Our footsteps echoed off the stone floor as we walked down the long corridor towards her cell.“Delta Jerome let her daughter stay in a place like this?” I asked in disbelief.The man is known for spoiling his daughter a lot. It feels strange that the once noblewoman, Lady Char
(Migumi’s POV)I emerged from the dungeon, the heavy iron door closing behind me with a resounding clang. The eerie vibe of the dungeon clung to my skin, but it was the icy grip of Charlotte's words that chilled me to the bone.I walked through the castle halls, my hands clenched with a mixture of anger and resentment.That bitch shouldn't have the choice to kill herself. I should be the one who killed her! She didn't deserve that quick, peaceful death. Not after what they did to my friend. Not after what they did to Tara!I watched the warriors as they hurried inside to take away Charlotte's body.When I stepped into the warm glow of the castle’s upper chambers, I found Aiden waiting for me. My heart softened when I saw him. It felt like all my worries suddenly disappeared, and all I could think of was him.He walked towards me, his dark hair slightly tousled as if he had been running his hands through it in worry. The moment he saw me, his brow furrowed with concern.“Migumi,” Aiden
(Aiden’s POV)I woke to the feeling of someone moving beside me. I can remember falling asleep with Migumi laying in my arms, so this must be her. What is she doing?When I opened my eyes to see who it was, I found Migumi laying face down in between my legs. She is half naked, and I could clearly see from here her bouncy, perky breasts. She lifted her head when she realized that I had awakened already, my shaft still inside her mouth.“Lo… Love?” I said, my voice still weak with sleepiness. She gently smiled at me while teasingly licking the tip of my cock using her tongue.My moans filled the silent corners of the room. What the hell is she doing while I’m sleeping?!“I was horny,” she confessed.I could feel her gaze on me, her eyes intense, searching my face for any sign of hesitation. The warmth of her hand wrapped around my cock is sending shivers down my spine. I don't think I can hold on for much longer. I might have just pushed her face to my crotch aggressively.“Are you sure
(Migumi’s POV)Today is an important day for the Kingdom. The grand hall of the castle is alive with the hum of excitement, the air thick with anticipation as the guests gather to witness a momentous occasion—the coronation of Prince Aiden as King of the Kingdom.The ancient stone walls are adorned with banners in rich hues of crimson and gold, the colors of the royal house, while chandeliers hang from the high ceilings, casting a warm glow over the assembled crowd.My lips curved into a smile as I watched the guests slowly enter the grand hall where Aiden’s coronation ceremony will take place.Just a few moments more and my mate will be the new leader of the country.. I couldn't be more proud.Aiden stood at the center of the hall, dressed in regal attire that befitted his new role. The dark, richly embroidered cloak draped over his broad shoulders contrasted sharply with the gleaming crown that rested atop his head, a symbol of the kingship he is about to fully assume. His expressio
