There is a restlessness in the castle of Sloria. Roseanne can read the anxiety on everyone’s faces even though they are trying their best to be as normal as possible. After their tryst in the bathroom, Dmitri has been summoned to a meeting which Roseanne knows nothing about. He put Roseanne in charge of the castle and she is quite anxious about what to do.
Thankfully, Aria and Polina are back. They were summoned to an important town square meeting where the deaths of Lucianna and Stefan were announced. The Blue Moon pack have been marked as criminals by the Ezealyran Royal Family and a notice has been issued to hunt them down. All the neighboring kingdoms have been asked to hand over any pack member who may be hiding nearby and to sever all ties with them.
Leo is patrolling the town with Timur and other werewolf soldiers to make sure that none of the Blue
The sounds of the horses’ hooves echo through the silent road to the Ezealyran castle. Ezra is driving the carriage with Dmitri inside. The latter is quietly staring outside the carriage, silently reliving his past.He still remembers the Capital of Ezealyra, Vinesgard. The streets were once filled with people and the cities bustled with life. Shops used to line up on the roads and every morning, fresh aroma of food hung in the air. Sounds of children laughing would fill the streets and people greeted each other with a smile. His father used to travel the city every morning with him in tow while their guards surrounded them.People used to line up to see their Emperor in his royal garb, looking proud and happy. Emperor Nikolai used to look at his people with pride, feeling extremely happy for providing everything he could for them. From high up in the cas
Dmitri’s insides are boiling but he masks his disdain with a poker face. He wants to kill everyone in the room with his bare hands but this is not the time. Eduard is finally coming.A tall man enters the room followed by Venus. The man is oozing a cruel aura, his bloodlust filling the whole room. He is wearing fine silk garments with a large crown on his head. The arrogant man strides into the room with a fake pride which sickens Dmitri.The crown on his head is glittering under the bright lights. It is made of pure white gold with several sapphires attached on the border. In the middle is a large pink diamond, the rarest gem in the world. It was made by Emperor Petyr Visserion for himself and then it was passed to his son, Nikolai.Now, Nikolai’s murderer wears it.
“It’s done!” Iriana declares. She healed Roseanne’s nose within minutes using her homemade miracle potion which is perfect for all kinds of injuries. Roseanne touches her nose, feeling awed.“Wow, you healed it!” She gasps.“Of course I did! That’s my job!”Roseanne winces a little. Even if Iriana is skilled, her mouth is sharper than a knife.“Do you know when Dmitri is coming back?” Roseanne asks.“Why? Will you finally take my advice and bed him?” Iriana shoots back.“No…”“Then why bother about where he is?”
Josephine is pacing back and forth at the forest bordering between Ezealyra and Sloria. Her heart is palpitating as she waits for news from her trusted servant whom she has sent after Roseanne to lure into a trap.The bushes nearby move and a small black wolf appears. The wolf shifts back to the omega who had lured Roseanne to the trap.“What happened?” Josephine demands. “Is she dead?”“No, My Lady!” The omega ruefully reveals. “I had taken her to the hill like you said and the Alpha had attacked her. He cornered her and I ran away from there. But as I was running away, I heard a loud scream. It was unlike anything I have ever heard.”“What the hell do you mean?”&l
Eduard and Venus are in the throne room. He is seated on a red throne with golden handles shaped like a dragon. The throne is wide enough for three people but only the Emperor can sit on it.The Empress sits on a silver chair next to the Emperor’s throne but Venus is not sitting on it. Instead, she is made to stand next to the throne as a sign of her actual status: a low level Omega.Whenever Eduard is around, she is not allowed to sit on the Empress’ chair. It is not a public knowledge but Eduard loathes her lowborn status and will not let Venus anywhere near him. Her duty to produce heirs is complete and he has stopped all physical relationship with her. Even in the throne room, she cannot sit with him.“Your Majesty,” Venus begins. “The matter with Sloria is a grave one. Our Kn
Days pass by in relative peace and Roseanne settles into her routine. She attends training every morning and by noon, she is dead tired. Iriana is also teaching her now, making her memorize many potions and herbs which witches used in the past for helping people. It is hard because Iriana has a tendency to pinch Roseanne every time the latter got an answer wrong. It is in her words ‘the perfect way to learn’.But her agility has improved a lot and she even successfully managed to break Polina’s hypnosis. She also learnt to make light objects move at will without touching them but so far, she can only move things like flowers or small, light balls.Polina and Timur theorized that on the night Roseanne killed the Alpha of Blue Moon Pack, she must have used some kind of telekinetic powers to cause the blood circulation in the Alpha’s
The next morning, Dmitri and Roseanne made preparations to leave for Hapsberg. Accompanying them will be Timur, Aryan and Josephine. Ezra is going to drive the carriage in which Dmitri and Roseanne will travel while Timur will lead his men in their wolf forms. Aryan and his men will be on horseback while Josephine, to Roseanne’s delight, will have to travel by boat with a few of Timur’s men.Dmitri aids Roseanne to climb into the carriage before entering it himself, sitting next to her. Roseanne is relieved that the annoying fae is not going to travel with them. Whenever Josephine shows up, Roseanne feels extremely irritated, especially when the fae latches on to Dmitri.Why does she not find her own mate? She scowls inwardly. Ugh! Silly mate bond is making me feel strange!“What are you thinking?&
After a long journey, their carriage finally reaches the borders of Hapsberg. Initially, they had planned to stop at an inn for the night but Ezra used a shortcut through the mountains which cut their journey short. A few guards stop them at the borders but upon seeing that a Lycan has arrived, they instantly let the carriage go. Ezra leads the carriage into the capital of Hapsberg while Roseanne looks out of the window.She is awed by the tranquil lands of Hapsberg which lay ahead. There is a mystical vibe in the air which is almost mesmerising her. The town is quiet and peaceful, a serene beauty which is almost breathtaking. Unlike Ezealyra which is mostly deserted and Sloria which is quite lively, Hapsberg is calmer yet, not lonely.The mountains of Hapsberg ooze warm steam which engulfs a lot of the surrounding areas. Several small huts are lined up along t
