~ Axel ~
Full of anger and disappointment, I flew further to the sky where the last layer of the Earth and space meet. In here, I released my cloaking spell and summoned a portal to my New York office.
An energy ball appeared in front of me. It pulsated with the colors of the rainbow, accompanied by charges of electricity. With a deep huff, I flew through it, never looking back down to the tiny area of Hextrion. It was no point spending my time there when Rayna and my shipments were gone.
Two hours after I returned to my office, my secretary received a call from General Foch. I was perusing Rayna’s information again when this happened. She connected our lines in haste since the general directly asked for me.
“General, good to hear from you.” I placed his phone in loud speaker.
“Mr. Windstorm! Thank the heavens! I am relieved to hear that you are alive. Really, I am!” he stated with his vo
~ Axel ~’They call themselves Silviera Bratva now, Su-Anateph,’ Dimitri explained further. ‘I was confident with this information. My source was a reliable one who happens to sell drugs for them. I hoped to find their base using this, but it brought me to a dead-end.’‘A mafia?’ My brows furrowed. ’Couldn’t they get any more creative than that? First, they operate as assassins. Now, they are gangsters?'‘They are both now, Su-Anateph,’ he corrected. ‘Money and power are easy when you have these kinds of businesses.’I scoffed, taking this information as nonsense.‘They can become whatever they want to be, but they could never rival us in wealth and power.’'You rule the light while they rule the darkness, Su-Anateph. I say both of our races are equal.’I cocked a brow. Dimitri was a serious man, choosing to stay si
~ Axel ~I pressed her clit once more and this time she released a louder moan. That would have been music to my ears if it was Rayna, but no. It was this woman who disgusted me.But since I planned to give her a lesson, I continued with my task.“Have you purposely used a thong for a rare possibility that I’d finger-fuck you, Heidi?” I whispered in her ear as she continued to huff in front of me.With my thumb, I hooked the thin line of cloth, stretched it down to its limit and released it. It hit her pussy with a quick slapping sound.“Ahh!” she shouted in a half-pained, half-aroused voice, and jerked backward away from me.Her brows twisted briefly with this sudden roughness of my actions, but then her face morphed with pleasure again.“Yes, oh, yes, Axel! I always desired you to finger-fuck me like this!”She rushed to kiss me, but I simply moved my head away,
~ Rayna ~Dealing with wounded people was nothing new to me. In the military, all soldiers were trained first-aid skills for obvious reasons. I wasn’t like Lady Tara, who healed in record-breaking time and with holy hands, but I could hold my own in these times of emergencies. Still, though, I envied her. What would it actually be like to heal someone without needing medicine or any medical intervention? What would it be like to touch someone and heal their illnesses without needing words? If I have that kind of ability, I would have already opened a free hospital.Fifteen minutes after Lady Tara invited me to help, we were joined by new healers—about four of them—and one of which looked exactly like her. A twin—that was what registered in my head that instant, and this twin was as graceful and kind-looking as the one who healed me.Burned wounds were the main injuries that most people in the bunker complain
~ Rayna ~Inside the tent, I saw an operating room-like setup. A hospital bed stood at the center, comfortable-looking and with thicker foam and sheets than the beds outside. Around it was medical equipment intended for varying purposes. Lady Tara’s twin already stood at the left corner of the room with a mayo table next to her filled with materials needed for the blood extraction.She gestured for Mr. Dangers to lie on the bed, which he did so without releasing my hand.“I’ll just sit here. I won’t escape so you can let me go,” I told him while throwing a frown.I claimed a stool near the bedside table and pulled my hand back, but he was adamant on holding it tighter. In the end, I resigned and remained silent as the twin healer started the procedure.She opened sterile packs first of what I deemed as the blood set and the disinfection set. The empty blood bag was placed inside a flat-su
~ Rayna ~Lady Tara and Lady Sierra concentrated on healing their boss. Their faces remained serious: eyes closed, mouth in the neutral and their brows furrowed. Their hands glowed in a combination of white and yellow colors. It pulsated slowly, creating a brightness that covered most of the tent space.It was surreal to watch them like this. In a matter of twenty-four hours, my belief in science got challenged. I never expected such healing magic like this existed. It mesmerized me truly. It made me realize there’s so much more in the world for me to discover.Werewolves and lycans exist. Magic exist. What’s next? Ghosts and zombies? Or maybe the Lochness monster? I had never been more excited and more cautious in my life.I continued to hold Mr. Dangers’ hand, sandwiching it with my own as if I was his lifeline. He looked so weak, so vulnerable in the bed that my memory of him as a strict, arrogant mafia
~ Eros ~Rayna was right. There was nothing wrong with being honest with myself. She already saw through my facade, found out about my fear of needles, so all I needed was to admit it. Honestly, I didn’t want her to know, but I knew it was inevitable when I refused to let her hand go.I always feared this tiny but sharp object since I was a kid. Hated it. Cried a lot because of it. It brought unsavory memories to the present I didn’t want to remember; memories of my blasted unfortunate childhood and how my father maltreated me. These memories always returned in full force whenever I face this little foe. It never failed to make my mood thorny.The healers had stuck needles inside me on so many occasions over the course of time. I always expected I’d be immune to it, but surprise, surprise, I fucking didn’t.Again, Rayna urged me to be honest with myself, but as the alpha king, I had to maintain
~ Rayna ~“I will not be deprived of an answer. I want to know.” I said that, yes, however, I didn’t expect his answer at all.Here I thought he wanted me because I was beneficial to his plans—both mafia related and werewolf related. For revenge or for intel, whatever he wanted me to be. Never had it crossed my mind I would catch his fancy. That he’d see me more than just a casual fling. More than just a one-night fuck.He felt the same way as I did, and for that, my chest leaped with happiness. At least now I could confirm I wasn’t going gaga. The tingling sensations in the pit of my stomach that I so ignored since we met, the abnormal ache to touch him and to be with him, the invisible energy I felt gravitating towards him—he could feel them too.And his words, they were all real. I could see the honesty in the blue-violet depths of his eyes. And maybe even more. There was still mo
~ Eros ~As always, I leaned against the iron balustrade of my favorite area in the Muvato Moon Nightclub. In this spot, I could see everything happening below: from the newly installed strobe lights in the stage exposing the pierced tits of the naked dancers, to the obvious dry-humping of my human customers on their tables, to the crystalline shine of the powdered drug spread on most of the tables.Nothing was prohibited here. Drugs, booze and sex were legal and even encouraged, but on this occasion, while drowned by my sour mood, I loathed watching the activities all around me.It had only been eight hours since I teleported to Bolivia again with Rayna in my arms. She was still unconscious when I left her in that tiny village clinic near the destroyed Hextrion base. I ordered Hilton to tip Darwin about her whereabouts and specifically instructed him she’d be taken to her family and be treated in the hospital.Hilton
AxelIt didn't take long before trouble appeared on King Raxelan's mountain, literally.As soon as he transported to his throne hall, a guard stationed at the watchtowers of Mount Ras Zubayr speeded towards him, knelt on the floor, and cried out, "My King! Werewolves and lycans spotted near Lake Bahrmoris and around the mountain. There are hundreds of thousands of them!"With the barrier he created, he was confident they couldn't easily find their hideout, but this much population of these mangy creatures was an issue. Power by numbers, as the old saying goes. King Raxelan hadn't known yet what they were capable of, what abilities they have, but he knew they could find a way through the barrier and attack them.'Good then,' he thought out loud. 'Saves me the energy to go to the capital city and destroy them.'The fact that they charged first only stamped his idea that they truly wanted war. It didn't matter what their reason
AxelKing Raxelan had rule over everything just like I do. He decides for his people and no one contests it. He had freedom and strength beyond question. He was above all as he should be as the dragon king. However, there was always one topic which he had to consult his people with.The mating.It was tradition and an absolute word that the dragon council needed inputs to.It would have been easy once mated. After all, no one argues who destiny pairs us with. But in King Raxelan's case, his mating with Herneith caused a serious problem with the council.They knew she was human, but moreover, they found out she was also mated to Alpha Eckon.'How the actual hell did they know about this?'my mind exclaimed as I played out King Raxelan's life again.Inside his throne hall filled with incense and entitled lords, he was about to burst this same question to them, but decided not to. Especi
- Eros - My lycan form emerged as soon as I jumped out of my seat. Bones crunched. Black fur grew at terrifying speed. Deadly claws dug deep on the marbled walls and floors of my pack house, and even the roofs of my subordinates as I leaped from one building to the next. It was probably the fastest run I had since the day I existed in this world—or Alpha Eckon's, for that matter. He didn't have the ability to teleport like I do, but his superior agility could almost be likened to teleportation. I reached the far edge of Mount Ras Zubayr in less than a minute. I sensed Herneith already underwater. Fuck. And heard her faint heartbeat. Without delay, I jumped in. My lungs expanded as I locked the oxygen inside. Bubbles surrounded me as my eyes adjusted to
~ Rayna ~"Saphira!"I wanted to run to her side, but the blood and the looming danger in front of me made me pause.My sights flew to the killer and my pupils constricted, realizing I recognized the man."Sakros!" I shouted. "Why?! Why are you doing this?"Dressed in the same knight armor of our capital, Sakros, the main guard of my father's special army, looked every bit like a human, but I sensed something odd in him, and I confirmed it after seeing his arms all wrapped up in dark red scales and his hands turned into claws.A dragon? He is also a dragon in a human disguise?He cocked his head to the side, gave me a grin, and he pulled his claw out of Saphira's abdomen like he was simply gutting out the intestines of an animal.I screamed inwardly at the sight when she fell to the ground. Her eyes glassy and lifeless and her mouth and nose trickling with blood."It is nothing personal, Princess Herneith.
~ Rayna ~Herneith's stay inside King Raxelan's chamber reached two days. It was a stay filled with nothing but bliss and passion. He treated her like a woman equal to him. He made her ascend many times in heaven, made her a goddess of sex and moans. It was a give and take relationship, plus more. There was nothing else in her mind except him, and he showered his attention on her in a similar manner.Not once did the thought of her friends, Una and Asiri, crossed her mind, or her family whom she left in the capital, or her duties as the oracle, or her bond with King Eckon.Nothing else mattered. Just the two of them. It was similar as to when Herneith bonded with Alpha Eckon. It was as if time stood still.For me, it was like falling in love with Axel all over again, and making love with him instead of King Raxelan. It was like a beautiful dream I didn't want to wake.Herneith hadn't expected she'd be mated to two men—k
~ Axel ~"Ra...xelan..." she whimpered as we laved her neck.A deep hum of approval vibrated our chest. "Yes, Herneith. That is good. Say my name again, or better yet, scream it for me."Using our power of teleportation, we appeared in another area inside the dragon mountain where no human had ever stepped foot. It was King Raxelan's chamber, specifically.There wasn't much in terms of furniture. There was a chair and a table in one corner, and a massive bed that could fit ten people in the center. The circular floor was made of marble. It was the size of a basketball court. Past its edges, a chasm awaited, decorated by waterfalls. There were slabs of rocks towering all the way into the ceiling—a ceiling where it showed a gaping hole. The
~ Axel ~Being inside the body and mind of my ancestor felt weird. Lady Kasa said we would travel back in time to see what happened before the war between the dragons and werewolves started, but I didn't expect she meant it like this: be in one body with my ancestor.I could literally feel everything King Raxelan felt and saw everything he saw.His dragon strength was undeniable. It was bursting out of his skin...out of his scales. It was the same as mine. I was a dragon king, after all. Only that his was considered the first of the first.The beginning of all dragon powers.Mount Ras Zabayr was his lair. His headquarters. But his people—our people—were scattered across the many continents of the ea
~ Rayna ~In the next second, something golden appeared in the sky. Its appearance was swift that before I could register what it was, I heard the pained screams of the two bandits.I looked down and saw their severed torsos thrown across the forest floor.My breath was caught in my throat. What just happened? My mind screamed. Then a noticed a movement from behind me. Spinning around, I saw a golden monster crouching down, with my reflection inside its diamond eyes.Heaven knows how much I wanted to escape, but instead of doing just that, I was frozen on the spot.“Hmmm...” A low growl rumbled from deep within its chest. In Herneith’s point of view, this was her first time seeing such a beast, so concentrated fear gripped
~ Rayna ~As the oracle and healer of the Kingdom of Eckhathnaten, or now called Ancient Egypt in the modern world, a lot was expected of me. One of these expectations was to fulfill the dance offering for the Sun God, Ra, in his temple on top of Mount Ras Zubayr.Together with my maids, we rode the covered chariot of my father. Its walls were gilded and carved with the many exploits of our family—or Herneith’s family, for that matter. Six wheels were attached to it and were pulled by four mammoths.Mammoths. Huh.I never expected of a day I’d get to see a mammoth in real life. But then again, so were dragons and werewolves.We had traveled for four hours already, leaving the capital city since dawn broke. I was
