I became alert, my eyes scanning my surroundings .

There was no sign of a living being so I calmed down.

" Maybe I'm Just imagining things." I murmured to myself. With all the tension and paranoia, it was reasonable I was getting alarmed over nothing.

Taking a deep breath, I took a step forward as I approached the gate.

My heart was racing in my chest and if it wasn't for the fact that I desperately needed to find that book, I would have turned around and left.

But I couldn't.

Standing a meter away from the gate, I extended my hands to push it when my peripheral vision spotted what looked like arrows flying my way as the sound of metal rattling echoed throughout the silent night

Instinctively I dodged as my head snapped back, the arrows had passed right next to me.

"Fuck!" I cursed as another bout of arrows flew by my side. I stepped back, calculating the distance and speed of the arrows, then dodged once again, my movements precise.

Squatting down, my eyes stared at the small hole th

    I scratched my head awkwardly, not knowing what to say. I was about to open my mouth and explain that I was not who I thought I was but the man beat me into it." I understand. Your highness, this way please." The man said, motioning for me to follow him.I didn't get to know what he understood before my legs carried me away, cautiously following behind the man as he led the way towards the huge magnificent castle.Approaching the castle, I could not help but marvel at how big it was. I could not hide the wonder that filled my eyes and the way they shone as I gazed at the magnanimous castle, with its high towers and large gate that stood out proudly adding to its charm.From the exterior, it was enough to say that the dragons were wealthy and very powerful. Of course, it came with our asking. The dragons ruled the world for thousands of years.Approximately a century ago, every kind became independent but the dragons remained the most powerful until that tragedy happened.It could be

    I smiled to myself after picking the book. It was the exact one I was searching for. Taking a deep breath, I struggled to stand.The moon outside was shining, casting a beautiful glow in the night, and the crickets chirped their song. But as the night went on, the sounds of the woods became more menacing, almost as if the trees were closing in.I shivered knowing that I would have to pass through the woods.Rummaging through my backpack, I removed the small bottle Valeria gave me a few days ago and drank the contents.She Said that the portion could restore someone's energy, albeit momentarily.Securing the book inside my backpack, I left the room and headed downstairs.Standing at the huge hall, my eyes drifted to the picture of the lady who had a resemblance to me.I took one last glance before walking away.Thaddeus was waiting for me a few meters away from the entrance of the castle.I walked to him, expressing my intention of leaving the castle."

    A look of surprise flashed across his face and his eyes flickered with interest.I scoffed. I knew I was right. Trying to coerce me to give out the book then getting rid of me! What a good strategy." It's useless. As long as I am alive, you better forget about getting your hands on this book." I said, looking at him straight in the face.The man's face turned gloomy." Don't blame me for being ruthless." The man declared and charged towards me.I closed my éyes hoping the pain could end sooner, only that the pain never came.The next moment I opened my éyes, I was back to the house. My eyes scanned the familiar surroundings and sighed in relief." You never listen do you?" Valeria's angry voice reached my ears.I looked towards her, only to see her fuming in anger. She must be furious that I left the house when she had told me not to." I'm sorry." I said, looking down. I could not afford to meet her gaze."Sorry! Is that all you can say to me?" She roared, her éyes blazing red. I sa

    Third person POV " What did you Just say?" A masked man shouted, darkness clouding the entire room, making the man before him tremble." We intercepted the person who entered the dragon castle but she got away." The man replied in a low voice.A flying cup was thrown towards the man and it only stopped once it reached his face, breaking into pieces.The man did not dare make a sound as blood trickled down his forehead and his face had turned swollen." I sent you to spy on the dragon castle and you came back with nothing but this?" The masked man said." Last time you let that woman get away, now you could not even capture a woman? How useless! " The man roared, his voice filled with rage." But she had help... she was not alone." The man spoke in a trembling voice." Someone helped her?" The masked man asked and his subordinate nodded." She was a witch, a very powerful witch." The man said." I am going to give you one last time, find me that woman and bring that book back." The ma

    Mia POV " What do you mean by that?" I turned to ask Valeria who seemed to be saying weird and strange things tonight.She shrugged." I don't mean anything, Just asking if you ever considered that possibility. With everything happening, who knows what the mark is about." She replied.My eyes scanned her face and Valeria managed my gaze, not looking away. Looking at her, you would be convinced that her earlier words meant nothing, like she was just speculating but I was not convinced." Don't you know what the mark means?" There's so much Valeria hides under that calm facade of hers. If it was in the past, I would have ignored her statement, just like I always do but something about today tells me that If I don't ask, I'll miss something important. She has always been like that, acting aloof with a hint of mysteriousness. When we first met, she asked me about my mark and told me a few things which came to pass.That's when I knew that she had some information about the mark. When I h

    After comforting me, which barely worked, Valeria left to fetch me a glass of water.Gulping the drink, I finally calmed down. Valeria sat next to me on the bed as I leaned on the headboard. My breathing had finally stabilized but the fear and terror still lingered." Can you tell me what you dreamt about that left you so flustered?" Valeria asked and I shook my mind in denial. I didn't want to talk about it, it would feel like reliving the nightmare." It's okay if you don't want to talk about it. Get some rest, I'll be in my room." Valeria offered and stood to leave." Do you think I am a stubborn person?" The question left my lips before I could stop myself.Valeria chuckled." Are you asking me? You should know the answer to that question yourself." She replied.Am I stubborn? Definitely.Otherwise I would not have repeatedly defied Valeria and done questionable things. For example, she warned me to stay away from the dragon castle until she could find a way to sneak but what did

    I took a moment to scrutinize Liam's face to see any hint of deception but all I saw was concern which made me feel uncomfortable.My heart was not settled and I could tell that apart from what Liam told me, he was hiding more. I didn't have the energy to question, nor was he entitled to answer. I looked away." You don't have to worry about me. I can take care of myself." I said indifferently. I did appreciate his efforts but I didn't need his kindness, especially if it was all fake, just a staged performance." By taking Care of yourself do you mean disguising yourself and masking your scent?" Liam asked, a hint of mockery in his words. I looked at him with disbelief. How the hell did he know?" What are you talking about?" I asked, trying to play dumb, my heart thumping fast." Oh come on Mia. I have some witch powers and I can tell that you are just disguising yourself. Maybe you can fool the vampires but if you come across any witch, they will be able to discover your disguise. I

    Lena POV “ What did you just say?" I jump from my seat the moment I process Klaus' words. Did I hear that right? Luther sent them to intercept a man with clear instructions not to harm him?Why would Luther do that? Most importantly, why would he instruct them not to harm him and Just release him after delaying him?“ Well, he was a wolf. I didn't think much about it." Klaus replies and I fight the urge to slap his stupid face. Sometimes I wonder if his head really contains a brain.“ You never think,Klaus. What's new about that?" I retort, rolling my eyes at him." You know, If you think I am so useless, why don't you trail Luther yourself? Or better yet, why don't you find out his next move while you spread your legs for him to fuck you?” Klaus hisses, glaring at me.I glare back at him, my eyes sending a clear warning not to cross me." I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that. It's Just that sometimes you are too much. I can't tolerate it.” He confesses, looking away. Klaus knows bet

    Leticia POV I escort Lydia to the chambers specially arranged for her. Actually, this was always her room from back then.I help her to the chair and proceed to retrieve the medicine bottle. Opening it, I feed her the last remaining pill inside.After a moment of swallowing the pill, her skin color starts to return and the gray hairs on her head darken. Her breath stabilizes too.“ What just happened, Lydia? I don't understand." I voice the question that has been itching my tongue after what transpired during my daughter’s mating ritual. The crystal was supposed to take an orange color and not blue. I don't Know what to make out óf the change.In all the years I attended mating rituals, having a blue color on the crystal never happened. Is this some kind of an omen? A bad one at that?“ I wish I knew the answer to that, my queen. I have presided over many rituals and it's my first time I saw something so strange yet fascinating."Lydia answered with a thoughtful look on her face.I ca

    I almost burst out laughing when I look at my mother and see a serious look on her face. Instead, a frown mares my face.Her line just now sounded like something Damian would tell me in the privacy of our mating chambers. The kind that makes your walls clench with unfiltered need.But why does she look like she means it? We have to strip?“ Mia…” my mother drawls, annoyance written all over her face." Why should I strip?” I thought stripping comes when werewolves shift? “ Are you seriously asking that? This process is purposely being conducted so that you can shift to your dragon. You don't expect to do that all clothed, do you?" When she puts it like that, my earlier question passes off as a stupid one.“ Just the upper clothes, child. You can leave your inner ones if you are not comfortable.” Lydia offers with a smile.I nod, relieved that I don't have to get naked In Front of the people present.I'd prefer getting stark naked with Damian's cock already massaging my entrance but

    As I make my way to the mating room, Luther's words keep flashing in my mind. What does he mean by his mate waking up depending on me shifting? Is there something I don't know about my shifting?I thought all he needed was the book to awaken his dead mate? Could it be that only after shifting can I possibly be able to read the book?Perhaps I should ask my mother about this. Perhaps she has an answer to the whole thing.“ Are yóu really alright? You don't look so well." Valeria asks for the third time. True to Luther's words, he left before Valeria returned to the room. Just like him, his scent was gone too yet one look at me and Valeria asked me if everything was alright.Before she arrived, I had taken deep breaths to mask my spiraling emotions. Now, it seems I didn't do a good job at that.“ I am alright Val. Maybe Just anxious." I reply, flashing her a gentle smile.Valeria chuckles, seemingly convinced by my lie.“ What's there to be anxious about? It's Damian you are mating wit

She asks. I can tell, just like me, she wasn't confident of the whole plan.I nod my head.“ Yes. After tonight, the battle will officially begin." My mother said although we did push the mating ceremony a night before it was supposed to happen, that doesn't mean our enemies will be successfully fooled.We have to be ready for what's to come.“ Do you think he is coming?" I turn to ask Valeria. It's night already and Damian isn't here.I can't help but worry Kaiser never made it to the midnight pack.“ You said it yourself. Your guy will do anything to win the bet. He wouldn't miss seeing you disappointed if Damian doesn't

    Mia POV The look of confusion on my mother doesn't surprise me. Proposing something like this isn't something she expected. I mean, with all the customs to be followed about mating, doing it out of the blue was out óf question but here I am, proposing something as absurd as that.“ Are you out of your mind, Mia? That's insane.” My mother answers.I expected that much from her. Valeria turns to look at me with a ‘ I told you’ look.“The customs of the dragons have to be followed when a royal dragon is about to…”" The customs have to be followed for a normal mating ceremony Mom. There's nothing normal about my mating ceremony. If we wait, we are just giving our enemies the Chance to prepare themselves to attack. You realize that there are people who don't want my dragon to awaken.I need my dragon to carry out my responsibilities.

    Leticia POV“ I knew you would come here so I came to meet you, for old times sake." I say and Bianca chuckles.This cave was special to us in the past. But that's it, the past.I just didn't expect Bianca to still come here. It was a gamble I made ànd I'd say luck was on my side today.“ Leticia, it's been long since we last saw each other. You've done a good job at hiding yourself all these years.” she mocks, sarcasm dripping from her words.I turn around to face her, a smile on my face." And you are still the same, Bianca. Going behind the backs of everyone and stabbing them.” I answer meaningfully.She chuckles.“ What did you expect? After you betrayed me and gave out my family in the hands of the enemy? It was only fair to strike back." She retorts with clenched fists. Bianca hates me for what I did to her family and that's something even a smile can't conceal. “ You know that's not what happened. Your family was a threat to the supernatural world. We had to stop them someho

    Bianca POV My daughter can be a fool sometimes. I mean, what was she thinking? Planning to sow discord between mates with that lousy plan of hers?I shake my head with disappointment. Now she thinks she is allowed to do anything she wants and I'm not supposed to keep tabs on her?Do I wait until she screws things up for me ànd ruin the plans I have been making for almost two decades?“ What do yóu think, Alicia?" I bit back, a smile gracing my lips. Sometimes I wonder how I birthed such a daughter. With her little brain, she wouldn't be able to survive without me for long.“ I don't appreciate you following my every move, mother." Alicia complains.“You've been messing things up. You couldn't even keep a man and that's why we are in this mess in the first place. You had him Alicia. You had Damian right eating at the palm of your hand but look at you now.

I almost scream at her. Valeria is one hell of a clean freak so seeing the róom look so disorganized and her sitting there nonchalantly, nothing adds up.“ What do yóu expect me to say? I walked to this. This is me thinking about how to skin whichever bastard did this.” I frown at her explanation. Someone broke in ànd trashed our house." Why would someone do this? Unless whoever it is was looking for something?” Damian wonders out aloud.Valeria and I turn to look at each other simultaneously." The book?” She shrieks, eyes wide." What book?” Damian àsks, looking between me and Val who shrugs, an indication she is not going to be the one to answer that.“ It's a certain book anyone seems to go crazy about." I reply, keeping my explanation as short as possible.It's not like I don't want to tell Damian
