Jason's hands shook non-stop at the revelation before him. That was the last thing he ever thought could have transpired that day he saw his brother. He still couldn't believe that Rence had hatched this plan for a long time.What broke his heart more was the fact that his sister betrayed his trust. How could she love Rence more than her brothers? She was showered with love and all that ungrateful brat could do was pay back with betrayal because of… love?Jason let out a mournful growl as he tried to contain his guilt and pain. His wolf howled alongside yet it wasn't enough to quench the hurt deep inside his soul.He had hurt his brother all these while, will Ares forgive him? Frieda looked at the stubborn yet broken Jason in helplessness. She knew he was hurting but they needed the get the hell out of this place before they get caught forever. "My Prince, we have to go. We don't have much time. If we don't go now, we will miss the opening to go back. I can't afford to stay here for
Surrounded by lush vegetation which seems to fade away, a tall yet imposing man with the aura of a thunderous lightning ran as fiercely as he could toward something or rather someone unforeseen. His eyes were as scary as the strike of lightning and the winds blew angrily around him as he murmured to himself."I will kill them all!"Continuously as thunder rumbles every now and then. The weather was getting darker yet a glimmer shone through the farthest part in which he took. Not a second more, he stopped moving as his hands shivered nonstop. The sadness emitting from the man's eyes could not be measured nor contained. He stared at the lifeless body of the fragile woman on the ground before rushing toward her.He lifted her and placed her gently in his arms, avoiding the dagger which seeps out immortality from the body of the woman in which it was stuck. "Who did this to you, Athena!" The man cried out in agony, as he looked at the frail woman before him, his voice came out more li
Lord Kizia just stood there in transfix, his eyes solely on the woman lying on the ground whose life force was cut out. As he was still in oblivion, a woman with a crown of the moon rushed in, tears flowing down her eyes. Her hair was gradually turning dark but there were ligaments of white at the tip. "Athena…" The woman whispered softly, kneeling to take a closer look at her."Aunt Selena… mother… she…" Helena stuttered, her breath was heavy as she stared at her mother. The woman that just rushed in was her mother's sister, Queen Selena. She is the moon goddess that the halflings are entrusted to by the Order of the Mystic gods. As Helena wanted to say more, she caught sight of her aunt's hair. It was getting dark, the moon was losing its shine as a result of the orb. There was a sudden flash of light enough to tear a crack in the firmament of the immortal realm. Helena had no time to think about anything else. Something worse was going to happen if she didn't take control over
THE MORTAL REALMAlpha Demetri shook in anger at the report given to him by his beta. How could his son be missing right in his own territory?"Have you sent out the warrior to search for him?" He asked, looking at his beta."Yes. I sent out different scouts all around, still there is no news and the storm…" his beta said but was cut off. "Look for my son! Find him even if you have to bring down the storm! I don't care! " His voice boomed amidst the storm. Just as they were still discussing, four boys came running towards a huge palace with tears mixed with rain. They were wailing loudly, as they stared at the men who were searching for someone."Alpha, he is nowhere to be found" some batches of the scout came reporting, drenched and shivering. "Don't tell me that! Search everywhere! Find my son or I will kill each and every one of you!"As the men continue searching amidst the clasping of the fierce thunder and the striking of the lightning, four pairs of eyes looked at them in un
Seeing the plea in the princess's eyes, the Queen of the ocean, Oceania waved her hands and everything became calm again.But a decision has to be reached by the gods and the princess of the mystic being. Was he going to die or would they listen to her plea? That was the question running when she held the boy tightly… never letting go."Let him go, Helena!" Lord Kizia bellowed in anger. This was the second time his daughter was making him angry."No, father. I can't let you kill him… He is my mate!" Helena said, holding him tighter."I forbid it! You will never mate with a mortal!" Kizia said angrily.As Kizia was speaking, there was a loud rumbling of lightning and thunder. The immortals and mortals alike were all shivering in fear and trepidation. Staring at her father defiantly, Helena was not ready to give him up." I am ready to do anything, father. I am willing to do anything to save him"Queen Oceania stared at her as she shook her head, slowly."Do you know what it would take t
It's been three months in the mortal world since the storm and the whole pack was getting ready for the annual mating celebration. Though this year, the Alpha's sons were still small. The oldest was around four and the youngest was just two. There was another reason for their celebration.The villagers all thought that the celebration wouldn't hold because of the Alpha's eldest son. Their Alpha's four year old son went missing three months ago amidst the horrifying weather of that day. They had prayed to the gods to spare his life. They offered sacrifices to the Moon goddess amidst the storm.Fortunately, it seems the Moon goddess answered the prayers of the pack as the child was found three days after the storm. But he keeps having nightmares. His condition was severe. It looks like he encountered something during the days he went missing. He always murmurs something no one understands. They thought he must be delusional due to the sufferings he endured.It took the help of the S
It's been seven years since the incident of Prince Ares disappearance and the rogues were still in full force, destroying and killing the people of the Blazing Moon Pack. Sounds of heavy footsteps can be heard faintly as two people were running and panting. They wanted to escape the group of rogues pursuing them. The man held his pregnant wife tightly as they continued to run away from the rogues heading their way. He was very anxious. He can't afford to lose his wife and pup. The moon goddess had finally blessed them after much prayer."Hold on, Laila. We are getting close to the Pack""Alvin, I think the baby wants to come out" the woman said as she winced in pain."Hold on, please. We are almost getting close to the Salutary"The couple continued running for sometime before losing sight of the rogues. The pain became unbearable for the woman and she suddenly slumped to the ground. The man looked at his wife writhing in pain, helplessly.Looking around, he saw a cave covered with
In a large expanse of land, there were about six different archery target around a marked course in forested area. The backstop was placed in specific spots where arrows were repeatedly shot at. Amidst the shooting, Little Prince Ares fumbled with something hidden in his neck. His brows were furrowed and as young as he was, he glowed with undefined beauty. He brought out a pendant which glowed brightly blue.He was that little boy that was saved by the pendant and since then, he had never let go of the pendant. He never even had the thought of leaving it as he had a hidden affirmity with it. Prince Ares, who had gone shooting range with his father, had suddenly noticed that the pendant was glowing brighter than ever. He kept staring at the pendant on his neck."What is wrong, son?" Alpha Demetri asked his son who looked distracted."Father, the pendant is glowing," Prince Ares replied. He was now a ten year old boy. "It has always glowed, son""Not this time father… It's unusual an

He still couldn't believe that Rence had hatched this plan for a long time.What broke his heart more was the fact that his sister betrayed his trust. How could she love Rence more than her brothers?

Prince Ares walked tiredly alone through the dense forest, his brows arched. His eyes darted all around the place, yet not a single person was in sight. It looked like he had been walking in circles for sometime now. Where was he exactly? Where were the rest of the people? His warriors, brother and Frieda?"Where is everyone?" Sky, his wolf asked."I don't know. It feels weird, don't you think so?" Prince Ares asked, furrowing his brows. As he was in deep thought, a force blew past him making him shiver but he immediately got hold of himself. He looked around to search for the person or thing but couldn't see anything.He closed his eyes pretending to fall asleep but he remained vigilant. The force came again but this time, it approached him.He was on his guard. The force aimed for his neck as it went to grab it but he suddenly opened his eyes. He threw a punch at the figure who was thrown off guard. With a growl, Sky took over as his paws elongated. He got ready to tear off the p
The warriors all stared at Frieda. Is she happy to fight ghosts?They all sat all over the ground but on a high alert waiting for the arrival of the ghosts. Almost dawn, they all felt eerie amidst a cold shill. Frieda motioned them to all stand in guard.They each brought out their pebbles. The ghosts began to swim out of a twirling pool of wind. It was a sight to behold as they came out in horrifying shapes. Some had blood gushing out of their mouths,nose and eyes. When the ghosts finally noticed they were all awake, they became furious as one of them step forward. He looked like the leader of the ghost troupe."You are nothing but weak mortals. How can you still be awake by this time?" The ghost leader asked in frustration."Hey, ugly thing. Stop talking already. If you don't want to die again, then give way for us to enter the passage"Prince Jason replied mockingly.The ghosts all yelled in anger at his words. Frieda glared at him. This guy, why can't he control his mouth someti
"It seems you have still not grasped what I am telling you. We can't sleep at all. Once we close our eyes, we are in danger", Frieda said."So any ideas on how to keep awake?", Prince Jason asked."Yes... we Casters use it in our clan during night hunting of the demons. It enables us to stay awake all night long but the aftermath is not too favorable even for us immortals"Y She replied."What do you mean?""We cast a spell that makes our inner consciousness to think day as night and night as day. But the risky part is that most souls fight against it because it changes the circle of life. Immediately the spell wears off, the soul fights against the spirit", She explained."Making the person who uses the spell to be vulnerable in spirit and soul...", Prince Jason concluded."Yes... but for the mortals, it's even worse", she said."How is it worse?" Prince Jason asked."That's because for the immortals,it affects just the spirit. They can then transform to mortals and still stay alive
Frieda woke up from her short nap and saw a sight she dreaded the most. Princess Helena was lying on the grassy Land. Frieda moved closer to her shakily. When she got closer, she saw the Princess neck has been ripped off and blood was gushing out. She screamed frantically. This was not possible, she thought. How can the Princess be dead? She can't die! She's immortal. Suddenly, the Princess stood up with the broken neck. Her eyes were piercing at Frieda."You didn't save me... You let me die...now our clan would be wiped out... You must kill yourself...now... you can't be alive....kill yourself now...""I am sorry my Princess...I truly deserve to die...I let you down as your Caster... please forgive me," Frieda started crying as she brought out the Dagger of death.This dagger was used to kill immortals, spirits and demons. She raised it up before bringing it to stab her stomach.It had become a fruitless journey. ***Prince Ares opened his eyes but what he saw shocked him so much
Prince Ares saw how his brother was taking the opportunity to stick to Frieda. He just sighed, knowing his brother must have a crush on her. "Jason, stop clinging to my warrior. You already have…"" Don't you think you should mind your business? After all, you are not the one I am sticking to," Prince Jason said, glaring at his brother.Prince Ares just shook his head and walked closer to Frieda who was still stuck with Prince Jason."What brought your Princess to our World?" He asked, frowning. How can a mystical being, not just any being but the mystic Princess of the gods, come down to the world of the mortals? Frieda stopped walking and stared at the pendant on Prince Ares neck."This..." She replied, pointing at the pendant."My pendant?" He asked, touching the glowing object on his neck. "Is it really yours?""Yes, it's mine. I found it by the River bank""My Prince... I can't tell you the reason my Princess came to this world but all I know is that without this pendant, she
"This is not a matter of loyalty. It's a matter of death. You are likely to die even before you get inside the realm. You might die in this whirlwind," Frieda said, looking at the warriors seriously.Then she continued," For those that are afraid, it is also a thing of heroism to stand by this riverbank till we are back."There was murmur all around as the princes looked at the caster. They wonder what she meant by those words."What do you mean?" Prince Jason asked."We will need some set of warriors to guide the river and make sure the whirl never stop whirling. If it stops, you halflings would never return back alive," She said." So we need some people to guide it too?" Prince Jason asked, frowning." Yes, my prince"There was silence as the princes contemplated on what to do. They decided to let the warriors decide on whom to stay or go. Just as they gathered the warriors, Princess Cilia marched toward them with her warriors, following behind."Why the fuck won't you just explain
"What is it with your Princess and stealing other's mate?" Cilia asked, spitting dagger at Frieda who looked as though she would kill her any moment.Cilia smirked as she got closer to the fuming Frieda. Once, she was afraid of her but not anymore. After all, she was a warrior princess now."Did she steal your mate?" Frieda asked, scoffing at Cilia's newly found courage."Ares is supposed to be my mate! Your princess wants to steal him," Cilia said, clenching her fist."Ares? If you were his mate why would the alpha look for another for his son?" Frieda asked, giving her a mocking gaze.Cilia was tongue-tied but wasn't going to give up. She turn her gaze toward Prince Ares for his help."Don't kill her, Frieda. She is still a princess under me," Prince Ares simply said, walking away from the two ladies who were at each other's throats.You are so mean!" Cilia shouted as Prince Ares walked out." Ha! It looked like you just got dumped the hundredth time, halfling," Frieda mocked."Half
"Sweetheart, you broke my heart! How can you allow your father to chose a mate for you while I am here?"Prince Ares looked up, putting on a deep frown as he looked at the young lady who just entered into his room. Are all the ladies these days so brazen, without fear?" What are you doing here, Cilia?" He asked, walking away from her." That's not how to treat your girlfriend!" Cilia said, pouting." Girlfriend? When did you become one? The last time I checked you were thrown out by Frieda for trying to seduce me. Do you need a pratical reminder?" Prince Ares asked.Cilia who was trying to touch Prince Ares stood rooted as soon as she heard Frieda's name. She had heard from the Pack members that Frieda was a Caster for the Mystic Princess.No wonder she had a mysterious aura around her. Nevertheless, it would be interesting." I have come to tell you that I am going along to save the princess…" Cilia said, smiling broadly." You are what?" Prince Ares looked at her, suspiciously. Alt
