(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
(Migumi’s POV)I stood there, chalk-white, hands shaking, and unable to speak. My heart began to beat very slowly, almost like it wanted to stop. I could feel the increasing size of the lump in my throat. It makes it harder to breathe air.The grand hall, once filled with joyous anticipation, is now charged with an icy tension. The servant's unexpected accusation has frozen the celebration in its tracks, the atmosphere thick with unease. Whispered conversations broke out among the guests, their eyes darting between me, Aiden, and the accusatory servant who had dared to disrupt the coronation.My fists turned into a rock as I tried to calm myself down in the middle of this stressing event.They… They don’t believe him, right?Aiden's face hardened, his eyes narrowing with anger as he turned to the soldiers stationed near the entrance. “Take him away,” he ordered, his voice a sharp command that cut through the murmurs.But as the soldiers moved to seize the servant, he twisted out of th
(Migumi’s POV)I stood on the platform beside Aiden, my silver-white gown gleaming under the lights. Yet, the warmth and pride I have felt moments ago has been replaced by a cold dread.It’s ironic how the same people who were admiring me earlier are throwing insults and mockery right now. It’s really amazing how they could easily change their heart on someone depending on how that majority feels.They are not even giving me a chance to defend myself. It's as if they’ve already made up their mind that I’m indeed the source of the plague.These people would rather choose to believe a stranger who suddenly showed up to blame me for everything than hear my explanation.The same people I saved with my blood are attacking me right now.The servant’s accusation still hangs in the air, its venomous words echoing in my mind. The crowd's eyes bore into me, their expressions a mix of confusion, fear, and anger. I could see the seeds of doubt taking root, spreading like wildfire through the room
