After leaving the pack with valeria, we ventured into the human world. Never in my wildest dreams had I ever thought about leaving a pack and staying in the city. Werewolves rarely mix with humans as a precaution of hiding our existence. " Why here of all the places? " I asked Valeria the day we arrived at the city and settled in. " Simple. No one will come looking for you among humans. They say, the most dangerous place is the safest. " She answered. At that time, I didn't understand what she implied but after the news of Damian looking for me and another group Monitoring his actions, I realised that valeria was right. In the past one month, I have not come across any supernatural lingering around us. We have been living as humans and trying to get used to human life. It was really hard to get used to their lifestyle, but after a while, it became a little easy." You have been spacing out recently. Thinking about him again? " Valeria's voice snapped me out of my thoughts." No, I
After taking a shower, I laid on bed, my mind wandering to the conversation the two vampires had.As much as Valeria tried warning me to stay away from trouble, I could not help but feel like the pack they were planning to attack was the place I once called home.Despite having my disappointments about the people I called family, I didn't want anything happening to them.Closing my eyes, I tried getting some sleep but ended up tossing and turning around, unable to catch even a wink.I sat up with a frown, a thought suddenly striking me.Why did Valeria leave today after the vampires visited our cafe? As much as I don't want to suspect her, I could not control this nagging feeling telling me that it was all connected to the conversation the vampires had.Stepping down, I scanned through my clothes, retrieving a cloak Valeria had gifted me not long ago.At that time, I even made a joke of needing the cloak to sneak around. Well, that's exactly what I was going to do. Over the past month
Damian POVMia called again after I threw Alicia out of my room. I could not control my emotions and excitement overcame me. She came! My Mia finally came back.It seems she could not bear to part with me. She must have missed me. Thinking of this, a smile painted my lips.“ Can you meet me at the training ground? I want to see you, urgently." She added, immediately cutting the mindlink.She is waiting for me at the training ground. At this thought, my heart race increased and I felt a sudden surge of happiness overflow my heart.I rushed out and bumped into Alicia. I almost knocked her down, but she managed to hold on to me."I am sorry" I apologized quickly and tried to get away from her. At this point, especially now that my Mia was back, I wanted nothing to do with her. Thanks to her and my mother, Mia left me a month ago. Faced with the hope of having my mate back, how could I allow other women to get close to me."You are leaving? Where are you going?" Alicia asked me, but I was
" I don't think you are stupid enough not to understand what I mean, Mia." Valeria said,her sharp gaze fixated on me." If that's the case, I need to warn Damian. If there's really a snitch between them, this could be dangerous." I said seriously only for Valerian to shake her head."The matters of Midnight pack have nothing to do with you. Mia, when will you ever understand this?" She said with an exasperated sigh."But..."" No buts...You have done your part. Now it's their turn. Besides, you don't even know who is the one spying on them. Even if you rush back to tell him, do you think he will believe you? " Valeria's words were like a painful stab on my heart. But, I knew she was right." He is still my mate, the man the moon goddess blessed me with. I can't bear to see him in danger." I said in a low tone."I understand how you feel, Mia. You love him. You care for him. But, you need to keep your distance and not get involved. It is too dangerous. He doesn't need you, otherwise h
Unknown person POV The room was shrouded by nothing but sheer darkness as the scent of sweet human blood lingered in the room.On a majestic chair sat a man who had half of his face covered in a Silver mask. He was exuding a dangerous aura, making the man before him tremble involuntarily." Did you find her?" The silver masked man asked and the Man who looked like his subordinate shook his head." It was too late when we arrived. She had already left." He replied, fear evident on his face.The last thing he wanted was to make the already bad situation worse and have the King behead him. That was a fate most of the people before him suffered.The King was known to be crazy, always losing control when it came to anything concerning their dead queen." Klaus, for how long have you been following me?" The man asked." It's been two years, my king." The man answered respectfully. Despite putting on a brave front before his master, only the devil knew that he was scared to death facing hi
Since I was determined to go through with sneaking into the castle, I chose to go through the plan alone. Valeria had been warning me not to be impulsive and wait until she has figured out how to nullify the dark magic guarding the castle. But how long will that take?A day? A week or a month? Maybe a year?I could not wait for so long. Going in alone was the only thing I could do since I didn't want to implicate Valeria in case something bad happened.I know that Valeria has been doing everything possible to help me and I am extremely grateful for that but sometimes, some things can only be handled personally. This was one of those things.This was a quest that I had to accomplish, by myself.Heaving a sigh, I quickly disguised myself with a black cloak and a mask that covered all my face.Putting my phone away, I started making my way to the border.In just a few minutes, I would be arriving at the castle gates.Despite an uneasy feeling brewing in the pit of my stomach, I continue
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 nightInstinctively 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 make my way to Damian's office after blatantly ignoring his mother's call which was accompanied by curses. After the last time I was here to finalize the mating ritual and things didn't end well between us,I promised myself to avoid her at any cost. Anything to dampen my moods." Luna!" The pack members greet me with smiles as I pass them. I smile back at them in acknowledgement. I am their Luna now and that demands a certain level of respect from them. Besides, they have watched me grow as one of them. Maybe that's why they easily accepted me even with the rumours of me being cursed flying around the land. I don't need anyone to tell me who has been defaming me. Her goal? To get rid of me. I will have to disappoint her though, she won't be getting rid of me so easily.I am about to push the door to Damian's office when a familiar voice enters my ears. I halt in my movement, perking my ears to listen." I know that I have been selfish, causing you so much trouble with Mia. I just wa
Mia POV " What did he say? Did he agree to help us!" I ask my mother. I am still puzzled as to why of all people, she had to ask the vampire king for help to retrieve the book. I thought the plan was to expose Bianca to the neighbouring packs and find a way to take back the book." You don't need to concern yourself with that. Concentrate on learning how to control your dragon." My mother answers, dismissing me. I want to protest, demand to know what plans she has but I hold myself back.She is doing everything to clean the mess I created by giving in to Alicia's demands. I shouldn't question her decisions because whatever they are,they are for the good of our shifter community.I nod before walking out of the meeting chambers. Valeria is waiting for me outside. Together,we make our way to my practice room. When my mother mentioned about practicing to control my dragon,I thought she meant I should be perfect flying around and breathing fire, fun right? Then I was told that the best
Leticia POV My dragon lands outside the old vampire castle and I shift back to my human form. My presence has already attracted the attention of the vampires guarding the gate. They start snarling at me, their fangs out and their hands are turning into claws."You dare trespass in our land?" One of them growls at me.I ignore his words. "Tell your master that I'm here to talk to him," I shout back at them. "Inform him that queen Leticia wants to see him." I add.The vampires look at each other for a moment and I see a flash of fear in their eyes. That's right. The name Queen Leticia is widely known throughout the land. As a royal dragon and once the leader of all supernaturals before the dragons were attacked and annihilated,I command respect. Even after years of disappearing from the supernatural world, my name still carries weight and power."Queen Leticia? Forgive us for not recognizing you. Of course, we will deliver the message to Lord Luther right away." One of the vampires say
Alicia POV I have been pondering on what Lady Leticia revealed back at the castle. As much as I want to ignore it,I can't seem to do that. I know she did that to get on my nerves and sow discord between me and my mother but I can't deny that some of her accusations made sense.To my mother,I am always that errand girl. Anytime she wants someone to do her dirty dealings, that's when I come into use. Whether it's someone she needs to silence or steal something, she always has me taking care of it.She would tell me that I am proving myself to her but as her daughter,do I have to prove how useful I am to her? The more I think about it,the more I am convinced that I am nothing but a tool by her side.And if that's true,what will happen when I eventually run out of usefulness? Will she discard me and jump to the next available person ready to do her bidding?“ Have you finally figured it out?” Someone asks from beside me and I turn around, glaring at the young dragon whom I kidnapped earl
Mia POV We gather at the dragon mausoleum to say our final goodbye to lady Lydia. My mother has been awfully quiet. It's like she is shutting herself down from the outside world." Do you think she will be okay?" Valeria asks from beside me and I shake my head. " I wish I could know the answer to that. I am worried about her." I reply. I understand that my mother is grieving from the death of Lydia,we all are but something about her silence scares me. " You think she will do something in her anger?" Valeria inquires and I nod." You don't have to be worried about her. Leticia isn't someone who is reckless otherwise she wouldn't be alive today." Thaddeus comments from besides Valeria. He glances at Damian who has been silent by my side. " I suggest you go back to your pack in the meantime. We can close our eyes to the fact that you are the reason behind everything that happened that day but she won't." Thaddeus warns Damian. I look at him as he clenches his jaw." Don't listen to him
Mia POV My mother shakes her head in disagreement but doesn't say a word. I take a deep breath and when I lift my eyes, they are filled with determination." Valeria, give the book to Alicia." I command,using my authority as the dragon queen for the first time. Although Valeria doesn't agree with my decision, she dares not go against me. She produces the book and suspends it in the air using magic.I watch as Alicia's eyes lit up after seeing the book. " Good choice, Mia. I am impressed." She says." Now that the book is here, release Damian." I demand but Alicia nods her head." You have produced the book but it's still in the arms of your sidekick. I'll only release him once I have it in my arms and verify that it's the right one." Alicia declares,her words itching me to beat some sense in her.I motion to Valeria to pass it to her,not wanting to deal with her anymore. Valeria does as instructed and pushes the book before Alicia who grabs it greedily,a sinister smile forming on he
Mia POV Alicia's voice resonates in the arena as she takes calculated steps, approaching the podium. Thaddeus draws his sword, moving to stand before me in a fighting stand.Valeria also approaches me, standing next to Thaddeus. The two of them form a shield before me.I turn to look at my mother who is wearing that serious look she always spots on,unbothered by Alicia's arrival." Still hiding in the shadows of others to protect you? I thought that you would change after shifting to your mighty dragon." Alicia mocks,a smile accompanying her challenging words." What do you want here? You are not welcomed." Alicia snarls at her but she doesn't stop until she is a few metres away from me." I would love to say that it's a pleasure to see you again, Mia but we both know that I'll be lying." Alicia admitted sending a glare my way." Then why are you here irregardless?" I ask and her snarls morph into a sinister smile." Of course I wouldn't take a risk infiltrating the castle for noth
Mia POV " You didn't go into heat?" My mother asks for the second time and I give her the same answer as before,a nod of my head. She is wearing a frown on her face. I did hear that dragons go into heat after completing the mating ceremony but I didn't. I don't know if I should be glad or worried about it. Damian and I spend the last three days fucking the brains out if each other. Could that be the reason I didn't go into heat?" Leticia, maybe this is a good thing for her." The old lady Lydia comments and we turn to look at her." A good thing?" My mother repeats and Lydia nods." She has so much to accomplish. Going to heat means getting pregnant. Maybe the heavens are blessing her and helping her accomplish her mission. Being pregnant means her dragon will be restricted from shifting and the baby will weaken her powers too." She narrates. As a new dragon,there are things I don't know about the dragon race. For example,why would a baby weaken my powers?" A dragon baby feeds on he
Mia POV Damian's words pull me out of my little gloating world and I mask my expressions." I don't know what you are talking about." I reply, trying to sound as calm as possible. Damian however doesn't buy it as he pinches my waist." You did that intentionally, didn't you?" He probes and I smile. It seems like I can't hide shit from him." Alright ,you got me. But she started it herself. I just showed her that I can be a much better actress than her." I try to explain myself and Damian shakes his head, amused by my antics." Thanks to you,we don't have to endure her long and annoyed face at the ceremony." He says and we both smile.Damian leads me to his room at the pack house. His parents' house isn't part of the pack house. His mother never preferred staying with the pack members. Even with how much she tried to hide it,I could tell she loathed the omegas living in the pack house. She somehow managed to convince her husband to build a house separate from the pack house.After get
