" So.. you are a famous slave, aren't you?"I was startled by the sudden voice. When I turned around, two fiesta eyes caught my attention. It was the princess from the celebration party, Tiara Edmund. She was well gossiped among the maids because of her signature white hair. The maids even said that she was interested in King Gideon.I kept my eyes down, and replied politely," Sorry, Princess. I don't understand.."She kept her head high. Moving to my other side, she replied with a huff, judging me from head to toe," Don't act so innocent! Some low class like you only know how to seduce a man. You have been a hot topic ever since you were chosen by the dragons."I kept my tone polite, replying without letting my anger slip in front of this proud princess," I apologize but it wasn't in my hands."Princess Tiara shot a dagger-like glare at me. Walking onto me, she scoffed proudly,"Listen slut! Our kingdom always wanted to be reunited with King Gideon. If I find you seducing him ever
YOU ARE FUCKING KIDDING, DIEGO!!"It was my wolf who made the piercing comment, not addressing Diego as her Alpha anymore. I could only whimper inside to see my wolf, rising in defense. I wasn't an object to sell off. It was my life and I had the final choice to make one.Diego shot me a death glare, his canines popping out in rage. His wolf hated the fact that I called him by his name. His male ego was hurt but it didn't get hurt when he was talking about offering myself to the cruel, heartless, dragon king.Diego snarled, his deathly eyes laying on me," SHUT THE FUCK UP!! I made the choice! I am your Alpha and your mate. You will do what I tell you."I felt thousands of daggers, cutting my heart into pieces. Diego never cared about me but never in my imagination, I thought that someday he would make me bait to save the whole pack.King Gideon's eyes finally locked with mine. Even though he didn't say anything, I could feel a dark gleam, lurking behind his eyes. His gaze was too unp
As the first light of dawn filtered through the window, I blinked awake, my body still heavy with sleep as I struggled to make sense of my surroundings. And then, as the fog of unconsciousness began to lift, I realized that I was not alone.Agatha sat beside me, her expression one of concern as she watched me stir. "Good morning, Viktor," she greeted, her voice soft and gentle as she reached out to brush a stray lock of hair from my forehead. "How are you feeling?"I frowned in confusion, my mind still foggy with sleep as I tried to piece together the events of the previous night. "What happened?" I asked, my voice hoarse with disuse as I struggled to sit up in bed. "Why am I here?"Agatha's brow furrowed with worry as she explained the events of the previous night, her words a blur as my mind raced to catch up with the reality of my situation. "You were injured," she said, her voice tinged with concern. "Athena brought you here for treatment. She's been by your side all night, taking
The courtyard, once a haven for shared memories, now bore witness to a tumultuous ballet of blood and fur. Wolves clashed under the moonlit sky, snarls and yelps creating an unsettling symphony. As Zavier and I rushed to Dominico's aid, the air buzzed with an electrifying tension, a volatile blend of loyalty and vengeance."Dominico!" I cried, the urgency in my voice slicing through the chaos. Our eyes met, a shared determination to confront the looming threat. The rogue wolves, remnants of Arion's calculated assault, circled with predatory intent.Zavier, his fur a sleek shadow in the moonlight, lunged at the nearest rogue wolf, teeth clashing in a fierce display of dominance. I shifted into my wolf form, the power surging through me as I joined the fray.Dominico fought valiantly, a formidable force against the encroaching adversaries. The courtyard became a battleground, a theater of primal instincts and strategic maneuvers. The scent of blood hung thick in the air as we waged a wa
As the news of Athena's attack reached my ears, a surge of concern washed over me like a tidal wave, driving all other thoughts from my mind. "Are you sure?" I demanded, my voice sharp with urgency as I turned to the messenger who stood before me.The messenger nodded, his expression grim with worry. "Yes, Alpha Asher," he confirmed, his voice tinged with unease. "Athena was found injured near the edge of the forest. We don't know who attacked her, but we suspect it may have been someone from a rival pack."I felt a cold knot of dread settle in the pit of my stomach at the thought of Athena lying injured and alone. "Gather a team," I ordered, my voice firm with determination. "We need to find out who did this and bring them to justice."The messenger nodded, his eyes wide with understanding as he hurried to carry out my command. "Yes, Alpha Asher," he said, his voice tinged with urgency as he turned and dashed from the room.Alone in my study, I felt a sense of helplessness wash over

Lucien looked down at the blazing material into his palm. Question marks puzzled across his expression when he stared down. When he instinctively looked up to question Isabella, she was looking hesitated to spill the truths out. Lucien softened his voice," What is this love? You can share with me anything, you know?"His soothing voice brought courage in her mind. Exhaling deeply, Isabella stated confidently," I believe that this ornament belongs to Ikaya. I had visions when I touched it. Something is wrong with me, Lucien."Her tears fell down relentlessly. As a normal human being, it was hard for her to accept that her body was evaporating unnatural powers. She was scared to figure out that something was wrong with her. Lucien glanced at her lovingly. Pulling her into a hug, he coaxed her gently," Hush! There is nothing wrong with you. Whatever you are, I will be always there for you. Do you believe that?"He promised and at the same time clutched the hairclip in his grip tightly
Few more days passed away quickly after Isabella learnt the truth. Days with Luciano was really different than before. They were much more open and intimate than before. At days, he was the sweetest husband that she always dreamt of. But at night, he would ravage her like a hungry beast. Her days mostly often started with the sore feeling. But she liked this new feeling. Before meeting Lucien, she never knew that such pleasure existed in this world.It was the a blissful afternoon in Quinton. As Lucien had headed off for works outside, Isabella shared moments like this with Elena beside her. Staying in Quinton for a long time, Isabella realized that Elena had an awkward relationship with Vincent. Their eyes spoke whenever they met but their behaviors weren't much friendly. Isabella avoided meeting Mrs. Mitchell like plague because ever since she arrived in Quinton's castle, every servants were having a hard time.Isabella spoke after taking a sip from her lemon water slowly," Sister
