Azubu realm
ThreeZaccheus POVThe King cradled his unconscious mate in his arms, shouting orders to his startled subjects, "get Avivit."The subjects were cowering away, afraid of the King's temper.The King carried his mate to his room with lightning speed. "Where is she?" He growled, tucking her under the duvet.His patience was running thin.Where is the god-damned beta-female? He thought angrily.The King noticed her body was freezing up and rubbed his hands with hers to warm it up."Yes, my king." the healer bowed meekly."Stand." he grunted, "make sure you heal her, and nothing must happen to her," he said gruffly as he kissed his mate's forehead and stood up.The healer walked to the unconscious girl and touched her forehead. Upon touching it, she detached her hand quickly while a gasp escaped her lips. She panicked and knelt on the floor, "forgive me, my King." her voice wavered lightly, then she continued, "I don't feel any energy from her or feel her soul. It is like her soul has detached from her body." she blurted out. At the same time, tears streamed down; she waited for the King to lash out or strangled her neck but found nothing.The King stood still, trying to calm his breath through his mouth; his beasts wanted to come out. He shook his head and clenched his fist. "Do anything to make her alive." his voice was more profound and grime. He was not the one talking any longer. It was his beasts. "Or your whole generation will be erased from history, and I won't think because you are the beta-female," he said apathetically while she nodded frantically."Can you please step out." she stuttered.He scrutinized his eyes while she gulped, "why?" he questioned, his voice back."We need to bathe her." he looked at her skeptically before she continued, "so that I will know where to start," she added quickly."Okay," he said gruffly, then walked out with his hands at his back.The workers heard the door open. They went hidden, afraid of him venting his frustration at them, not wanting to face their King.He paced around while his beta followed him. He sat on his throne while messaging his temple to ease the forming headache. His beasts were restless because it had been three hours since he had been sent out, and they needed to be assured she was okay."What?!" he said irritatedly, "why are you following me?" he growled.The beta cowered away while bowing. This was not his friend, it was his beasts, and they deemed a submission."Nothing, my King," he said while following him."Stop lurking around," he commanded; the beta stood still."My King," Avivita called."What happened? is she okay?..." He rambled nervously, afraid of what she would say."I called her soul back, but sir, you will need to be gentle with her. She is a fragile human," she said softly."Are you lecturing me?" He growled, feeling annoyed."No" she screamed with widened eyes."Then?""It just that..." she paused, " when we were bathing for her, I noticed some scars on her body and some burnt scars like cigarette ash on her body." she glanced at the King before she said what could make the King to exploded."She was abused.""Who dares to abuse her?" he snarled, making all the glasses shatter. Thunder was striking. The castle was eerie silent because they knew the thunder would strike if the King were angry."Where is she?" he said while trying to control his anger and beasts. They wanted to escape and destroy everything but needed to see their mate."She is in the room sleeping," the healer said. When the King strode away to meet his mate, the healer sighed; thanked the goddess for not letting the King destroy anything. And she ran to her mate for comfort.The King entered the room and sat beside his sleeping mate; he stroked her hair."αγάπη μου, please wake up," he said softly, touching her hands while kissing them. (my love)"Will she wakes up?" - his wolf -Ryl whimpered while dropping his ears."She will wake up." his vampire - Ryk, replied with a bit of clarity."Will she love us when she wakes up?" Ryl asked fearfully, afraid of being rejected. Since they were kids, they had been ignored by everyone except their mother."Hey! stop thinking like that! she will learn to love us, and if she doesn't, we will chain her and mark her." his demon- Ryn, growled at Ryl, shutting him up."Shut up, all of you! You are giving me a headache." the King scowled at his beasts while Ryn rolled its eyes as Ryk and Ryl whimpered.The King felt his unconscious mate jerk, holding him tightly while thrashing and murmuring some words, "don't leave me.""I will not even dream of it καρδιά μου," he kissed her hands that were holding him. (My heartbeat)As he stroked her hair, he felt her breathing change to routine. She sighed in contentment while she snuggled close to him."What is her eyes' color, favorite food, or favorite place to go? Will she prefer mango or apple? Or...," Ryn cut off Ryl's rambling."Please, where is the alpha king? please don't tell me he already softens." Ryn mocked while Ryk shook his head amusingly."What! can't I imagine, my mate?" Ryl said defensively."Do you know what I imagined?" Ryk licked his lips sensually."How her sound will be when I'm pleasuring her..." he grinned."Ewwww, you are disgusting." Ryl scrunched his nose."Both of you are fools," Ryn said while Ryl stuck his tongue out."Can three of you stop bickering!" the King growled."Don't tell me you too. Don't imagine how you pleasure her." Ryk wiggled his brows while Ryl and Ryn chuckled loudly."Shut up!" the King grumbled before smiling. But his little amusement vanished when he heard a cough.The King patted his mate's chest softly before she released a loud gasp.He stared at her chocolate orbs filled with fear before she released a loud shrill. The King gawked at his mate's eyes; the King couldn't fathom the wave of happiness that washed over him.Ishbu realmFourNadazhda POVThe breeze was whooshing lightly; the cloud was bright with the sun in the middle. The birds were chirping, flying from one tree to another. I laid on the floor with my head on someone's thighs who happened to be helping to braid my hair. I dipped my hand into the moving lake and felt a sense of serenity.I sighed in contentment, am I in heaven? I thought, smiling at the coolness of the water."No, Bareea," I gasped; I was shocked to hear her voice in my head. The same voice. "You are at the border to either heaven or hell." the spokesperson said softly. I looked around for the source of the voice, only to face the woman braiding my hair."You are the one?" I asked in astonishment."Yes I'm the one, Bareea." she nodded and smiled at me."Who are you, and why did you help me?" I asked her, raising my head."I've been your guardian since birth, and my purpose is to help and guide you." she giggled softly; her giggle was like a piece of music."Then why did
Azubu realmFiveNadazhdaThe man in front of me was an epitome of beauty."Shhhh, it's okay." he cooed softly with his velvety honey voice. I stared at him, trying to take in his image before I tasted it to death.The man's deep blue set of eyes swirled with different emotions that I couldn't decipher. He had a long nose with his long, thick eyelashes fanning his face and his red plumped kissable lips contrary to his pale white skin. His short brownish curly hair fell down his face, which was a compliment to his thin brows. He looked like he was in his late twenties.I stared down at his neck; he had some blackish-red paint peeking through his polo. I wondered how I was able to see it. Well, I was definitely ogling at him.Then I moved my gaze back to his face and noticed his eyes twinkling with amusement while his lips twitched like he was trying to control himself not to smile.Holy cow of the calf!Nooo!It's the holy mother of the cow!He freaking had dimples!Please, death takes
Chapter 6Zaccheus"I think I'm fainting." he heard his mate say and fell to the ground. He changed abruptly and yelled for the beta female, "avivit!""Princess, please open your eyes," he whispered, caressing his mate's cheeks. He checked her pulse and sighed in relief that she was breathing softly."Where's the damn beta-female. Someone get her for me," he yelled while the servants were trembling.As the thunder was striking, the rain fell heavily because the king was angry at himself and sad. He was mad because he caused his mate to faint."My King," Avivit entered urgently and bowed her head in submission and fear. She didn't want to reel the King's beasts to unleash."Check, what happened to her?" he commanded.She walked forward and then touched her forehead to feel her soul. "She's sleeping, for now, sir, " she replied softly before she continued, "but she might have a concussion." She said and moved away quickly.The King sat beside his mate and caressed her hands while hummin
Chapter 7ZACCHEUSThere was a knock at the other side of the door; the King mumbled out, "enter!" for his beta to enter the room."Aww," the beta scrunched his nose dramatically while the King grinned widely."What do you want?" the King asked, staring at his mate in adoration."The witches are still waiting. You kept them waiting," Zeke reminded his King softly."I'm coming," he replied."Have you told her?" the beta asked inquisitively while the King nodded softly."She's a blessing," the King said tenderly, "she's the light to my darkened soul.""Yeah, I agree." the beta nodded in affirmation.As the beta walked out, the King tucked his mate under the duvet not before pecking her lightly on her cheek. He grinned widely.He strode out of the room, putting on his cold facade. He couldn't believe he had a mate. His jaw twitched because the witches interrupted his precious time with his mate.He'd brought his mate to orgasm, smiled at her flushed face, and she was screaming his name i
Chapter 8NADAZHDAI opened the door gently and tiptoed outside. I was damn hungry. I didn't want to wake those damn sensitive supranational because I'd learned they had heightened hearing and nose.Where is the way to the kitchen? I thought, then groaned when I realized I didn't know anywhere in this enormous mansion. As I turned to go back to my room, I collided with a strong wall. I meant a freaking soft yet hard wall, but there wasn't any wall here when I was going. I raised my head dumbfounded and saw half-naked Zaccheus smirking at me while I squealed, covering my face.My face would have been crimson red. I peeked through my fingers and stared at his well-divined abs. I shivered in delight, but when I returned my gaze to him, he was smirking knowingly that I was checking him out.Holy Mother of Santa!I was embarrassed."It's okay; you can check as you want," he smiled softly at me, 'it is all yours." I grinned like a fool back at him."What are you doing?" he asked, looking in
Chapter 9AZEBU REALMZECCHEUSHe breathed softly, trying to catch his breath. His beasts were growling, demanding him to mark her. The bite was meant for her to be claimed, but he could control himself. He didn't want to scare her; she hadn't known more about his world, and it was a sacred thing in his world.He lost control of himself; he couldn't look at her. He was ashamed of himself.He felt a soft hand raising his head, looking at him with understanding."It's Okay," his mate said softly."It's not okay. " he shook his head; he was ashamed of himself, "it was meant for you," he stated disgustingly."You don't mean it, right?" she questioned gently, pecking him at his jaw.He moved away from her; he was still aroused, and her pecking him was making it worst.I need to get away from here before I do something I will regret, and she would hate me forever, he thought bitterly."I'mtravelingg tomorrow." he blurted out. He needed to get away from her because it wasn't easy to be with
Chapter 10This chapter has some violence and rape attempts.Nadazhda was visibly scared, but her heart told her, 'he would never hurt me. She looked at the gnashed mark on his chest, but it had already healed. Only the blood stain on him could make her realise it wasn't an illusion.Was the bite meant for me? She thought and shuddered in fear and yet ecstasy.She noticed him breathing softly, trying to catch his breath while a growling vibration was coming from him.His eyes filled with disgust, ashamed of what happened. He didn't look at her. He was looking at the ground. The surrounding air was tense, and something was tugging her in her chest to do something.Nadazhda touched his chest softly, making him raise his head; she looked at him with understanding. He didn't need to loathe himself. She liked it, and she was the one who took the initiative."It's Ok," she said softly."It's not okay!" he shook his head in denial; he was ashamed of himself, "it was meant for you," he stated
Chapter 11Zaccheus's chest was pounding, and he felt a wave of anguish that wasn't his washing over him as he climbed the stairs to his mate's room. He entered to meet her but found her faint scent in the room as if she wasn't there for some days. He went to his room and found nothing too. His senses weren't very clear at the moment because his mate was his priority.His beasts were urging him to let them take control, but he knew his beasts would damage everything.He gave in to his hearing and smelling sense and inhaled his mate's scent, which was coated with unfathomable fear."Mate hurt," Ryk whined softly."If anything happens to my little Joy, I will destroy the world," Ryk, the most relaxed and calm out of the beasts, cynically said while the others nodded in agreement. Ryk was the cruellest out of the beasts. He hardly reacted, but when he did...The scent led him to the underground dungeon where the higher criminals were kept. The temperature of the jail was cold, which made
Epilogue2400 Kaobu realm"Mom, I'm out," she hollered, slinging her school bag as she waved at her mother at the entrance."Awwwww, my baby," her mother wiped the tears on her face dramatically with a kerchief."Hng!" she groaned, "mom, I'm not going to war," she stated, "I'm going to school, S C H O O L," she spelt out as her mum nodded in understanding."This is the first time you are leaving to stay alone.""I know," her shoulders slumped, "You'll make me emotional now," her voice already trembling as tears found their way to her eyes.This was another stage in her life; without her overprotective and caring mother, she would be alone on the big campus by herself. She hoped to explore and have more experience, which was why she decided to study history."Nada!" her mother called as she whipped her head to the back before entering the school gate, "Fighting!" She grinned back, lifting her elbow to return the morale.Her mother watched her entering the dormitory block before turning
Chapter 44The horses galloped through the forest as the rustling and whooshing of leaves were left behind. The braying sound and the strength of agility following their riders' command.Upon reaching their location, Zaccheus jumped down off the horses and whipped his head to see Alec standing in position. He strongly ordered Alec to go with some mages and warriors to scout the area while—Zaccheus would come behind.He looked at the beautiful castle and huffed; with a wave of his hand, the castle revealed its real crumbling self. It was an abandoned castle.The castle where he was born, where he was bullied, where he was blessed or cursed with power, where his mother died and where he painted his father's blood with. Before he ordered to build another castle."Come out, whoever you are?" he said as the sky became cloudy, the thunder rumbling quietly.A crackling noise came out of the door as it was bang opened by a dark energy force. "You've come," a snake-like hissed followed, "I've
Chapter 43"What do you mean you can't find a trace?" Zaccheus growled, his eyes shining golden iris as his voice was deep. His beasts were awakened.With every passing minute, he could notice himself getting crazier, and he ran his fingers through his tangled hair as he tugged the edge, getting frustrated.Three days.Three days. Seventy-two hours. Four thousand, three hundred and twenty minutes. Two hundred and fifty-nine thousand, two hundred seconds since his mate had disappeared in thin air.The weather had been changing from rainy to thunderstorm, and he was feeling immense sadness and anger. He didn't even have the time to worry about the people.When they arrived at the cottage, everything had been burnt down, and nothing could be found at the scene except the faint smell of teleport magic in the air. His heart thumped in its ribcage as the blood left his legs, making them tremble tremendously and fall to his knees. His eyes were vacant as he stared at the burnt cottage in den
Chapter 42Nadazhda's eyes showed betrayal and pain as she stared at him in disgust. He was the one, and he was the one saving her and putting her in the pit.She took him as her person, someone reliable, someone she could trust — she trusted him, but he was the person behind everything while putting on a pretence for her.Zeke!"You!" she uttered with hatred as she glared at him hard. She tried to tug the chain on her wrists, but it was impossible as he cackled at her struggle."How is my acting?" he grinned, kicking Rina, who put herself as a shield in Nadazhda's front before walking languidly to her."You son of a bitch!" she growled while Zeke tsked, shrugging his shoulders dismissively."I've told you, princess, cursing is not suitable for your innocent mouth," he mocked, gripping her jaw tightly as his long black nails pierced through her skin. Yet Nadazhda didn't give him the joy to see her crumble as she sneered at him."We took you as a family, and we are —no, we were a famil
Chapter 41{Listening to big-tailed fish when writing, blue whisper's OST} Zaccheus begrudgingly left his sleeping mate's side, looking at her again before sighing and walking out of the room. He left the cottage and saw the nobles outside, grumbling among one another. He massaged his pounding head and raised his hand up, which silenced them, and he closed his eyes tiredly, "Let's go to the pack house," he murmured, dismissing them. He had half of the idea why they came, but the other half was unknown. "What do you think they want to talk about?" Zeke asked while Alec looked at the retreating shadows of them. "Let's go," Zaccheus said. Without much hassle as walking, he teleported to the packhouse, and he didn't want any delay in going back to his mate. He sat on his throne. Zeke stood at his left side while Alec stood at the right side and the delta, waiting for the king's command. The nobles entered the throne room, making a noise as they argued with one another. "King," they
Chapter 40 In the eery silence... In the darkest place... Her shadow blends with the abyss of darkness... Screaming her lungs out... Fighting the unknown with her feeble attempts... Banging the door of consciousness with her trembling hands... But No one heard or answered... Until she fades away... Drown in the pit of darkness..... He feels useless... What's the essence of being powerful yet feeling helpless?... He stares long at her with sadness lurking behind his brown orbs... What's the meaning of controlling when just a whimper from her could make him crumble?... When a smile from her could make his cold dead heart flutter... He's known to be fearless, but the thought of losing her makes him terrified… **** The news of the Queen being crazy ran like spitfire everywhere around the axis of the realm. The castle was tense. No word about the queen was said, the workers scurried away whenever the King was coming. Nadazha sat at the corner of the room with her hair dishe
Thirty nineShe was running, she didn't know what she was running away from, but the sound of heavy footsteps following her trail made her understand that something was following her and she needed to run harder than before. She was running through the thick forest in circles because she knew she'd passed this marked tree before when she ran past it. The trees were taunting her as the tree branches pulled and hit her.She stopped beside a tree, trying to catch her breath, rested her hand on the rough bark of a tree, and saw the tree had opened itself, and her hand was entering the extended space; she screamed in frighten, removing her hand quickly, moving back only to hit her back on another rough tree which squeezed her in as panic rose in my, adrenaline produced, she struggled to get out, but everything was in vail. One of the tree branches stretched and removed her from being suffocated by the tree, then threw her tired body onto another tree. The rustled sound of the leaves was he
Thirty-eight "Master," a petite lady with a French braid entered, bowing to the man in a black cloak fearfully. The room was eerie, silent, and cold chill, which gave the lady cautious goosebumps.The man's fluttered eyelashes opened, showing his red demonic eyes as he rested on a throne-like chair. The castle he created for his subjects. A camouflage from fog which he used to build this castle underground by using black magic. If his subjects or followers could actually see beneath the camouflage was a crumbled abandoned mansion."Yeah," he tapped his fingers on the armchair, humming in response, fitting the dark shadow; no one has seen his face except some selected people."We made the hallucination portion," the young black witcher informed him, showing him the small portion they'd been working on."Good," he praised, showing his black rotten teeth as he stretched his rotten decaying hand forward to collect the portion. He stared at it before returning to the witch, "I heard th
Chapter 37"Wait!" Nadazhda stood by the door, wetting her dry lips slowly, staring at her mate's blue orbs, which gold flickered in his orbs, representing his beasts, "I don't want anyone to stare at what's mine," she claimed her possession and scrunched her nose irritatedly at people who were going to swoon at his beauty, going to the table to bring a veil."psst, possessive much?" Zeke rolled his eyes dramatically, puffing his cheeks."Yeah, I keep what's mine," she smirked slyly, standing on her toes to reach Zaccheus's face. When Zaccheus noticed that, he cranked his head down for her while she hummed apprehensively."And less I forget, tell the people to evacuate from the castle before they can see a glimpse of you," she ordered sternly."Okay," he responded without missing a bit."Everyone go home and rest for the rest of today," he commanded through the mind link."There's love, ooo," Zeke rolled his eyes playfully while nudging Zaccheaus' side."Our mate is awesome," Ryl whis
