I felt shy when Derek discarded my clothes away from my body leaving me naked. He was the first person to see my body exposed like this.
I felt even more shy with the way his eyes stared at me as though he wanted to eat me, I used my hand to cover myself even though I won't really cover my body well.
“ shy are we ” I heard him say, and I could feel my cheek red in embrassment, of course I'm shy.
“i’m the only one standing naked here, why won't i be shy” I said looking straight into his blue eyes.
“ really ” he said and let the towel dropped to the marble floor leaving him naked too. And then, my gaze moved to his member.
God he was so huge down there
I gulped hard, tearing my gaze away from there to look up at his face, surprisingly he already stood in front of me, removing my hands away from my body and going to stand behind me.
I could feel his manhood pressing against my b
Caleb and Celine were shocked when they saw thier child stopped crying as soon Frederick carried him. At first they had thought that he had used his power on baby Lucas.The baby was cooing and giggling in Frederick's arms, and he had to return the smile back.“ how on earth did you... What did you do to my boy ” Caleb couldn't help but ask.“ I did nothing, he likes me that's all ” Frederick replied, when he saw the way the couples were staring at him as if he was a ghost.“ I don't trust you ” Caleb said and Celine chuckled at the expression on Caleb's face.“ can you both stop staring at me like that, I can't use dark magic on a baby, beside I like him too ” Frederick said ignoring Caleb.“ can I talk to you alone ” Frederick said to Celine.“ No ” Caleb rejected immediately, even though he had forgive Frederick doesn't mean he will leave her all al
Alan sat on his chair in his room, he was still fuming mad. How could he not know about the massacre of his own very people last night.He saw the way his mate was glaring daggers at him, she was sitted opposite him with her arms crossed. He knew why she was glaring at him because he took away her precious voice and her giant form. He rested his forehead on his fingers ‘ oh gosh, she was adding to his problems ’.However with one snap of his middle finger and his thumb, he gave her back her voice so she could speak again and stop glaring at him.He couldn't give her back her giant form, he preferred her like this as he was the one taller than her now, she was just reaching his shoulder which made him smile.Claudia felt her throat was free, she tried to talk but ended up coughing.“ try again ” he said, the smile not leaving his face.“ what about my giant form” was the first word Claudia said.&ldq
Frederick who had gone to check on Alan after he left Derek and the rest of the people in room. He couldn't find Alan or Ron in his room or the throne room.He then asked the guards who were guarding Alan's room about his whereabouts.“ where is the king ” he asked.The guards knowing who he was answered him “ we don't know sir Frederick, but he left his room not quite long with sir Ron ” one of the guards answered.Frederick didn't ask anything else again and left for his room, he wondered where Alan and Ron must have gone to without letting the guards know about it.Well it's a good thing that they didn't know about his return yet. When he got to his room, he entered forgetting to lock his door lost in thoughts.He had gone to his dressing room unbuttoning his shirt to have a warm bath not hearing the knock on the door. He had already unbottoned the three top bottons of his shirt when he heard the second
Derek felt something was not right when he walked back to his room with his mate, there was this unsettling feeling which bothered him.Earlier Frederick had told them that Alan ordered him to kill both his parents. But then, Frederick had run away from Alan which means Alan wouldn't wait for Frederick to carry out his order, rather he will do it himself.Frederick had told him to wait till tommorow before he could go visit his parents at the dungeon as all of them couldn't go at once.But he wanted to go check for himself, he wouldn't let Alan hurt his parents, even though his mother hadn't been the mother he wanted. Nevertheless, she was still his mother.“ my love, I want to visit the dungeon, I'll be back okay ” he said to his mate who stood inside the room staring back at him with her big round eyes.“ I thought Frederick said you could go tommorow as he will keep Alan distracted ”“ yes I know,
I ran as fast as my legs could carry me, when I looked behind me I saw Frederick following me behind. We got to Elia and Magnus’s room, I knocked hard on the door that I could feel the pains in my knuckles.“ ahh ” I winced in pain.“ you'll get yourself injured ” Frederick said to me.“ I'm fine ” I said at the same time the door opened and Magnus came out of the room, his face bright with a smile as usual.“ Aria what are you doing he...” Magnus said but then he pulled me closer to him not completing his words.“ what happened ” I asked when I saw him glaring at someone behind me, he was glaring at Frederick.“ him ” Magnus used his jaw pointing at Frederick and I saw Frederick rolling his eyes with his arms crossed.“ it's ok, he's with me, but that's not the...”“ does Derek knows that you're with him, where's Derek ? &rdqu
Claudia hadn't expected Derek to snap her neck just because he wanted to lure Alan out. She had come to the dungeon to tell Alan to stop what he was doing if he wanted her as his mate.But right before she could say anything to Alan. Derek had already snap her neck and let her body fall to the ground.She didn't know that one day Derek will be the one to kill her, she had always loved him. She had hoped that one day Derek will return her feelings back.But no, he had killed her instead. She looked up at him to see if he was looking at her but instead his red eyes were staring at Alan angrily.He truly didn't love her even a bit, her eyes moved to look at Alan. He was staring at her but he didn't move an inch from where he stood.I stare at Derek in disbelief, was that how angry
Frederick knew who had this particular scent, getting out the dungeon which was almost unrecognizable due to Alan's destruction earlier.He followed the scent which led him outside the castle, carcasses of giant, giantess and the humans bodies were littered everywhere.But then the scent disappeared, he was sure he had smell that scent in the dungeon or was his nose not working well anymore.Just as he turned around he saw Caleb standing behind him which startled him “ f*ck, you scared me buddy ” he said glaring at his best friend.“ I could kill you know, you need to be aware of your surroundings ” Caleb said.“ sorry, I got distracted by your scent. You came ? ” Frederick said.“ yeah, we're here to hel
“ FREDERICK BEHIND YOU ” Frederick heard Caleb telling him to look behind him. Just as he turned around to see who was behind him.He saw that it was Alan, but it was already too late to fight back or even dodge as Alan had moved so fast and pushed his hand into his chest.He felt Alan sqeezing his heart, he felt the life in him slipping away right in front of his eyes. He heard Caleb calling his name running towards him.But Alan raised his hand up in the air clenching his fist, a dark thick mist covered both he and Frederick. Caleb couldn't see them as the black mist covered his view.Frederick groaned in severe pain as Alan sqeeze his heart even more, he felt his body growing weaker each passing minutes.He dropped to his knees placing his hand on Alan's hand which held his heart, he knew that the moment Alan pulled out his hand from his chest he would be dead.“ I told you I'll kill you and you thought it wa
The shadows exploded outward, swallowing the room in a suffocating wave of cold. The torches flickered wildly before snuffing out, plunging them into near darkness.Elia clutched Elizabeth tightly to her chest, backing away as Magnus’s body convulsed, his form twisting unnaturally. His once-familiar features contorted with something inhuman, veins pulsing like blackened roots under his skin.Derek gritted his teeth and moved between Magnus and the others, summoning his power in an instant. His hands glowed with crackling energy, ready to strike if needed. “Magnus, listen to me! You can fight this—”But the voice that came from Magnus was not his own.“Fight?” the distorted voice mocked, echoing through the chamber. “There is no fight. There is only surrender.”Then, the shadows moved.They lashed out like living tendrils, striking at Derek first. He barely had time to react before he was thrown backward, crashing into the stone wall with a brutal force.“Derek!” Aria’s voice rang out
The weight of Magnus’s confession settled over them like a thick fog. Alan’s power wasn’t gone—it had shifted, latched onto Magnus like a parasite waiting to consume him. They couldn’t afford to keep this to themselves.Derek was the first to move. He helped Magnus to his feet, his grip firm. “We need to tell the others. Now.”Magnus flinched at the thought. His body still trembled, his skin clammy with sweat. “Elia…” His voice cracked. “How am I supposed to tell her?”Aria’s chest tightened. Elia had already suffered enough—first with Alan’s magic corrupting Magnus, and then watching her husband struggle to control himself. Now this?“She deserves to know,” Aria said gently. “All of them do.”Magnus ran a hand through his hair, exhaling shakily. “What if I lose control in front of them?”Derek shook his head. “Then we make sure you don’t.” His tone was absolute. “Let’s go.”Aria hesitated, her hand drifting instinctively to her stomach. Something about all of this felt… wrong. The da
The weight of their decision settled over them like a storm cloud, thick with unspoken fears. Aria’s fingers remained pressed against her stomach, as if seeking reassurance from the life growing inside her. She could feel her magic humming beneath her skin, stronger than ever—but also unpredictable.Derek crossed his arms, his gaze sharp. “If we’re going to do this, we need to be careful. Alan’s magic didn’t just disappear. It’s somewhere, lingering. And if we go looking for it, we need to be prepared for whatever we find.”Magnus leaned against the stone wall, his expression unreadable. “You don’t think I know that?” His voice was rough with frustration. “It’s inside me. I feel it every second. And every second, it’s getting harder to fight.”Aria studied him closely. The way his hands trembled, the slight flicker of shadow clinging to his form—he was holding himself together by sheer force of will.“We can’t wait any longer,” she said. “We need to find a way to trace the remnants of
Magnus took a step back, shaking his head. “No.” His voice was low, strained. “You’re wrong.”Aria felt a cold weight settle in her stomach. “I want to be wrong, Magnus. But I’m not.”He clenched his fists, his breathing heavy. The air around them shifted—charged with an unseen force.Derek reached for his sword instinctively. “Magnus, stay with us.”“I am with you!” Magnus snapped, but the darkness in his veins pulsed. His pupils dilated, and Aria saw it again—that flicker of something inhuman in his eyes.Derek moved between them. “Aria, if he loses control again—”“I won’t,” Magnus ground out, but even he didn’t sound convinced.Aria reached for him. “Magnus, listen to me—”He flinched at her touch, and suddenly, a force erupted from him, slamming into the walls with enough power to shake the room.Books flew from their shelves. Candles flickered and died. The air turned suffocating.Magnus gasped, doubling over as if in pain. His fingers dug into the stone floor, his breathing rag
Morning came too quickly. The tension that had settled over them the night before hadn’t lifted, and as they prepared to leave for the archives, Aria couldn’t shake the feeling that they were walking into something they weren’t ready for.The journey was quiet, save for the sound of their footsteps against the cold stone halls. Aria kept a hand on her stomach, a subconscious habit she had developed since realizing she was pregnant. She hadn’t told the others—not yet. Not until she understood what was happening to her.Magnus walked beside her, his movements more controlled than before, but there was still a weight to them, as if he were forcing himself to keep the corruption at bay. Derek led the way, his grip tight on the hilt of his sword. He was always prepared for a fight, but this time, Aria knew his concern was for her.They arrived at the archives, an ancient chamber buried deep beneath the castle. Dust clung to the air, illuminated by the soft glow of enchanted lanterns. Rows
Aria sat beside Magnus, exhausted but determined. The session had drained her, and yet, she knew this was only the beginning.Magnus exhaled heavily, his fingers twitching as he clenched and unclenched his fists. “I almost lost control again.”“But you didn’t,” Aria reminded him, her voice gentle but firm. “That’s what matters.”His jaw tightened. “What if next time I do?”Aria hesitated. There was a next time. There always would be.But she wouldn’t let him fall into doubt.“You won’t,” she said, gripping his wrist. “Because I’ll be here. We all will.”Magnus looked at her, eyes clouded with uncertainty—but there was something else there, too. A flicker of belief.Before he could respond, the chamber doors swung open.Derek stepped in, his expression grim. “We need to talk.”Aria turned to him, immediately sensing his unease. “What is it?”Derek’s gaze flickered to Magnus, then back to her. “It’s about you.”Aria frowned. “Me?”Derek nodded, stepping closer. “I’ve been watching, Aria
The next morning, as the first light of dawn painted the sky in hues of gold and crimson, Magnus and Aria stood in the clearing beyond the castle walls. The air was still charged with tension from the previous night, but this was the first step toward reclaiming control.Magnus flexed his hands, feeling the restless power still writhing within him. He was afraid. Afraid of losing himself again. Afraid of hurting someone. Afraid that no matter how hard he tried, he would never be the same again.But then he looked at Aria.She stood before him, steady, unshaken. There was a quiet strength in her now, something deeper than before. Her presence alone was grounding.“Alright,” Aria said, drawing a slow breath. “First, I need you to close your eyes.”Magnus frowned but obeyed.“Feel the magic inside you,” she continued. “Don’t fight it. Just listen.”He tried. At first, all he could sense was chaos—wild energy rushing through his veins, sharp, erratic, unpredictable. It was like a storm he
Magnus collapsed to his knees, gasping as the remnants of darkness flickered around him like dying embers. The magic inside him had not vanished—it still pulsed within his veins—but it was no longer in control. The corruption had been tempered, its hunger subdued by Aria’s power. He trembled as he lifted his head, his once-shadowed eyes now holding a glimmer of clarity. Aria stepped back, her breathing unsteady. Her body swayed slightly, exhaustion weighing her down. Derek was by her side in an instant, his strong arms steadying her before she could collapse. He gazed at her in awe, then concern. “Aria, that was incredible,” he murmured. “But you shouldn’t have pushed yourself so hard.” She shook her head, pressing a hand to her belly. “I had to. It was the only way to reach him.” Frederick took a cautious step toward Magnus, his fists clenched at his sides. “Is it over?” Magnus let out a shuddering breath. “No,” he admitted, his voice hoarse. “I can still feel it inside me…
Amid the chaos and the crumbling stone, a deep, resolute calm began to emanate from Aria. Her eyes, wide with determination, fixed on the writhing, tormented form of Magnus. The dark energy that had taken root in him pulsed like a malignant heartbeat, threatening to consume everything in its path. But in that moment, something within Aria stirred—a power she had never fully acknowledged before. Her hand pressed against her belly, and for a moment, the world seemed to hold its breath. A soft, luminous glow began to spread from her, as if her unborn child were a beacon of hope amid the encroaching darkness. The golden light was warm and steady, contrasting sharply with the inky shadows and her she thought of Magnus and decided it time to step in, at the same time she’s scared of the dark power surrounding magnus and not wanting anything to harm her unborn child. She left her room for the dungeon upon seeing magnus in this state her heart sank and she couldn’t take it. She saw how exhau
