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
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
Mia POV It still fazes me that my mother managed to organize everything for the mating ceremony in a few hours.At some point, I thought that we wouldn't be able to pull it off but I was proved wrong.Looking at the room where we would be holding our mating ceremony, I can't help but feel giddy.Valeria approaches me, a smile on her lips.“ So this is happening?" 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. We can't wait anymore.” I try to reason with my mother whose face shows she isn't liking my idea one bit.As the dragon queen,it's her responsibility to ens
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. You are going crazy crafting stupid plots to trap him.He is with Mia right now. Do yóu understand what that means to us? To me?” I
Mia pov I scan the sitting róom which is nothing but a pile of mess ànd then turn to look at Valeria who is sitting on the sofa, a tired look on her face.“ Say something will you?" 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
