"You are blessed with boys." Erica’s low voice from behind drew her attention. She glanced at her over her shoulder."They are so adorable," Triana murmured. She had a smile on her lips, but her eyes were full of tears."Hmm…" Erica held her shoulders from behind, resting her chin on her shoulder. "Watching your babies, I also desire to have my own child.""You should plan for the baby then." Triana glanced at her, holding her hand."I will talk to Dario when he returns." Erica giggled. But her smile faded gradually, and her face clouded with worry. "When will the war be over?""Soon," Triana murmured. She gave her a reassuring smile even though she was worried. She sat on the bed with one baby in her arms. "They will be back soon," she said as she began nursing the baby.************************************************************************Blaze and his troops successfully seized the neighboring packs. The majority of the enemy soldiers were killed, and the remaining warriors surr
"Let me see my nephews," Dario said in a hushed tone as he entered the room. He grinned, looking at the baby in Blaze’s arms. "Can I take him?"Blaze handed him the baby."Oh…" Dario's hands began to shake as he worried about dropping the baby. "He is so small. I am scared to hold him.""Hand him over to me." Erica reached out her hands to him."Let me hold him for a while." Dario scowled at Erica and turned aside. His smile resumed as he looked back at the baby. "Awe… He has a striking resemblance to Blaze." He then looked at the other baby in the crib. "Oh, they are identical. Wow! We have got three Blazes with us."They couldn’t help but smile at his remark."We should go out," Erica urged. "They will wake up if we keep talking here.""Let’s go, let’s go." Dario put the baby in the crib.They all left the room and walked down the hall together.As soon as they entered the hall, Dario recounted how they had won the battle. He couldn’t stop praising Blaze.Blaze looked aside, feeling
"Blaze…" Triana called him, her voice barely audible. She stretched her hand to shake him, but her hand paused a few inches away from his arm when she saw him looking at her. Her heart trembled as she looked into his fiery red eyes.Triana jumped off the bed and exclaimed, "Blaze…"Blaze came to his sanity in an instant. His eyes returned to their original black color as he blinked once. It was as though his eyes were never glowing red."Triana…" He sat up abruptly, frowning."Y-Your eyes…" Triana pointed at him, taking a step back. She couldn’t stop her hands from shaking. "Those were red."Blaze’s heart dropped into the pit of his stomach. He just had the nightmare of the red-eyed beast. He had no idea how Triana had learned about it."What are you talking about?" He asked, pretending to be surprised. He was hesitant to reveal the truth because he was afraid Triana would become tense."I saw y
Triana trembled in fear as she remembered his eyes glowing red just a few days before. She realized what she had witnessed that night was not a hallucination, but rather reality.Blaze grasped her hand. "I think the drug caused this mutation. I am losing control over my wolf. I had the dizzy spell while at the council meeting today as well. I have to rush to the bathroom and stand under the shower to keep my wolf under control."Triana became worried when she noticed the helplessness in his eyes. She squeezed his hands in an attempt to calm him. "Let me look into it.""Triana…" Blaze wanted to warn her, but Triana interrupted him, "Don’t worry. I need to check if you have any sequelae. Have faith in me. Lie down."Blaze nodded and laid back docilely.Triana moved towards him and put her hand on his brow. She closed her eyes and used her power to peer into his brain. She found nothing unusual.There was no swelling or blood clot in his brain. Blaze appeared to be healthy.She attempted
Blaze stood numb, staring at his parents. He had difficulty believing that he was seeing them after more than ten years. Bitter-sweet memories of the past rushed into his mind, making him restless."Father…" Dario approached his father and hugged him. "Mum…" He then hugged his mother. "How are you?""I am fine. How are you doing?" Edith, his mother, cracked a grin."We are all doing well." Dario returned her smile. "Meet my wife, Erica." He motioned for Erica to come in closer.Erica approached Edith with a cheerful expression on her face. "Mum…" She embraced her."I am delighted to see you.""How is your health?" Erica asked."Oh, I am doing well now." Edith chuckled, her gaze moving towards Blaze. She stretched her arms wide. "Come here."Blaze approached her one step at a time. He was still in a state of shock."Blaze…" Edith stood up and took him in her embrace, tears welling up in her eyes. "I miss you.""I miss you, too," Blaze murmured as he wrapped his arms around her.Edith h
"I can't believe it, I can't believe it," Blaze murmured and dashed out of the house.Triana sobbed as she sagged on the sofa."Oh, Triana." Erica sat next to her. "Don’t cry." She pulled her into her embrace. "Blaze will soon resolve this problem.""Blaze…" Triana stood up and hurried out."Where are you going?" Erica pursued her. "Triana…" She came to a halt on the porch and watched her flee."Blaze…" Triana yelled as she looked around. She was afraid he would turn into a red-eyed beast in a fit of rage. She dashed into the backyard and found him sitting in the grassy undergrowth beneath a tree.She ran over to him. "Blaze…" she sat beside him, putting her hand on his arm."Leave me alone," Blaze snarled, brushing her hand away.Triana regarded him with a squint. She felt a stabbing pain in her heart under his fierce glare. "I am just trying to calm you.""Don’t disturb me, Triana. I am not in the mood to talk to anybody right now. Just leave me alone."Triana couldn't hold back her
Moana stared at them with wide eyes, her hand flying to her mouth. The shock was evident on her face."Come here." Dimitri motioned for her to enter.Moana hesitated for a while. But she slowly walked into the room."Close the door." Another order came from Dimitri.Moana nodded in a trance and closed the door behind her."What do you hear?" Dimitri asked.Moana trembled under his cold glare. She immediately bowed her head and replied, "Everything."She figured out why Blaze’s parents didn’t want to accept Triana. But she wouldn’t believe that Triana was the reason behind Blaze’s problem. She had seen her heal numerous patients. She firmly believed that Triana could heal Blaze as well."You may be unaware that she has healing abilities," she added after a while. "She healed several patients. When a plague broke out at the Blue Moon Pack, she was able to heal the patients in just two days. If it were not for her, no one in the pack would have survived. Aside from that, she once saved A
Triana wriggled as she fought to break free. She even slapped and scratched him on the arms. But her struggle grew weaker as he continued kissing her passionately."Mm…" she moaned and kissed him back, in the end, her fingers sliding into his hair.She was still angry with him. She tugged on his hair and bit his bottom lip."Ugh…" Blaze groaned and kissed her harder. He became more aroused as she became more aggressive.He lifted her off her feet and carried her to the bed, his lips still locked on hers. When he dropped her on the bed, her body gently bounced on the mattress.Triana propped herself up with her elbows and gave him a stern look, her mouth set in a grim line. Blaze clambered on the bed and crawled on top of her, his gaze fixed on hers. He could hardly wait to claim her again, but he waited for her response.Triana coiled her arms around his neck and drew him in closer, her face inches away from his. When his warm breath fanned against her face, her eyelashes trembled."W
Triana leaped to her feet and rushed over to Erica."Erica…" She crouched down beside her and put her hand on her forehead.Erica regained her consciousness."Erica…" Triana pulled her up and took her in her arms. "You scared me to death.""I am safe," Erica exclaimed and hugged her back. "You saved me." Tears rolled down her cheeks. "Where is that witch?"Triana released her and nodded toward Azura."Huh…" Erica inhaled sharply as she saw Azura lying in the pool of blood. "You killed her!""Or else?" Triana smirked."Are you sure she is dead?" Erica was still skeptical. She assumed Azura would get up and attack them."Of course." Triana giggled. "Don’t worry. She is dead.""Oh, my." Erica let out a sigh of relief and put her hand on her chest.In the meantime, the guards rushed over to them.Erica scowled at them and snapped, "Where have you been? You are here to protect us. But you all disappeared when the witch attacked us. I am going to complain to Dario. He will punish you all."
"What the hell are you talking about?" Blaze yelled, his face red with anger. "You plotted against me with that witch to drive Triana out of my life. Why, father? Do you hate me so much? Am I not your son?"Dimitri opened and closed his mouth but couldn’t say a word. He regretted his actions. Simultaneously, he was so ashamed that he couldn’t make eye contact with him."Calm down, Blaze." Edith grabbed his hand and tried to calm him down.Blaze pulled his hand back and snorted."We never knew that Azura was manipulating us," Edith continued. "We believed her when she said that Triana had a curse on her and that she would cause your downfall. We had no idea she was lying to us.""You could have asked me about it," Blaze growled. "But no… You chose to trust that witch rather than your son. Under her influence, you didn't even hesitate to drug me and throw a woman into my bed. At least, you could have thought about my babies. You not only drove her out of my life, but you also chased my
Edith stared at Moana, dumbfounded. At this point, her smile began to fade."You are joking, right?" She mustered a smile."I am not joking. I am serious.""What is the matter?" Edith got up from the bed and walked up to her. "Did Blaze say something to you?""Please try to understand," Moana snarled, flailing her arms. "He adores Triana. He won’t be able to love any woman. This wedding is pointless. It will only bring disaster for us. I don’t want to ruin my life."Edith blinked, perplexed.Moana grabbed her arms and said, "The wedding is not necessary if Azura can heal him. Tell her to find the cure as soon as possible. If he gets recovered, he can live happily with Triana."Edith slowly realized that this marriage would only make Blaze unhappy. She became so concerned about his safety that she didn’t realize she was about to shove him into the abyss of sorrow. At the same time, she was about to ruin Moana’s life."I get it." She nodded in realization. "I will talk to Dimitri.""Tha
A week later…Moana became even more restless when Blaze's parents began to plan the wedding. The guilt in her heart grew stronger every time she noticed Blaze avoiding her.She was well aware that Blaze would never love her. She also knew he wasn't opposing his parents solely out of a feeling of responsibility to her. The truth was that Blaze had not taken her virginity.Moana could no longer hide the truth. She wrote a letter to Triana, explaining everything. She then found someone and paid him to deliver the letter to Triana.In the Blue Moon Pack…Triana was so depressed after leaving Blaze that she became disinterested in everything. She always remained in the bedroom with the babies. She didn't want to talk to anyone, not even Erica.After putting the babies to sleep, she clambered onto the bed and went to sleep in the broad daylight."What is it?" Erica snarled as she entered the room. "Are you going to sleep? Ugh…" She rolled her eyes. "It has been over a week since you got he
Triana went down to the kitchen to get something to eat and ran into Edith. She mustered a smile and greeted her, "Good morning, Mum."Edith hesitated for a while but returned her smile. "Morning. Are the babies awake?""Yes.""I understand you are upset about what happened the day before," Edith murmured. "What was done is done. We can’t change it. What we can do is rectify the mistake. We talked to Blaze and convinced him to marry Moana too. I hope you don't mind."Triana lost her appetite instantly. "Excuse me."She walked out of the kitchen with her head bowed and bumped into Azura.Azura jumped back frantically as if she had collided with something untouchable.Triana frowned as she noticed her staring at her pendant. She clasped the blue gemstone and strode to her room."Luna…"Triana came to a halt when she heard Moana calling her from behind. She slowly turned back, her heart pounding. She was angry and ashamed at the same time.Moana approached her, one step at a time. She fe
Moana jumped to her feet and took a step back, staring fearfully at Blaze.Azura continued chanting in a low voice as she squatted beside him, her hand on his head. She stopped chanting after a while and turned to Dimitri."Put him in the bed," she said as she rose to her feet, her voice scratchy.Dimitri dragged Blaze onto the bed."His condition is getting worse," Azura continued. "The evil wolf grows stronger after consuming Triana’s energy. We need to separate them as soon as possible. I won't be able to cure him otherwise.""No, no, Azura. Don’t say that." Edith grabbed her hands, sobbing. "You are the only hope. Don’t give up on my son.""I will do everything in my power to cure him," Azura assured her. She shifted her attention to Moana. "Get on the bed and lie down next to him... naked.""But nothing has happened between us," Moana retorted.Azura held up her hand, cutting her short. "You don’t h
Blaze arrived earlier than usual. He took a small red box from his pocket and smiled at it. He stuffed it back into his pocket as he strode to the bedroom."Blaze…"Triana rushed over and threw herself onto him as soon as he stepped into the room."Hahaha…" Blaze laughed as he lifted her off her feet. "What makes you happy?""I love you." Triana cupped his face and kissed him."I love you, too," Blaze whispered between the kisses. He put her on the bed and sat down next to her. "What is the matter?""Guess it."Blaze chuckled. "I am an impatient man. I don’t like suspense. Tell me why you are so happy."Triana giggled. "Your mother and father have finally accepted me," she declared. "They are planning our wedding. I am going shopping tomorrow with Erica."Blaze’s smile faded straight away. He found it difficult to believe that his father had agreed to the marriage so easily. He had a hunch that
Several minutes later…Blaze and Triana walked down the hall, hand in hand. Triana blushed furiously as Blaze whispered something in her ear."Your cheeks are red like tomatoes," Blaze murmured. "I'm tempted to bite them.""Stop teasing me." Triana nudged him on his waist, a bashful smile on her face.Edith, who was sitting in the hall, watched them walking down the stairs. She couldn’t help but smile, looking at how happy her son was. Her smile began to wane as she remembered Azura’s warning.Blaze leaned in for a kiss, but Triana resisted, putting her hand on his chest."Behave. Mum is watching us." Triana glanced at Edith.Blaze followed her gaze and saw Edith sitting on the sofa in the hall. A thought immediately came into his mind."Come with me." He took her to the hall."Good morning, Mum." He smiled at her as he sat beside her, pulling Triana down with him."Morning." Edith mustered a smile."Mum..." Blaze took a brief look at Triana before returning his gaze to her. "I am pla

When his warm breath fanned against her face, her eyelashes trembled."W
