NORAAs the sun began to rise over the castle, I yawned, spinning around on the bed. Zelda climbed on the bed, meowing in my ears as I slightly opened my eyes, the bright sunlight exuding its rays into my chambers as it sipped into my eyes.As soon as I opened my eyes fully, she meowed again. "How was your night, Zelda?" I asked, crawling to the edge of the bed as I placed my feet on the floor."I will shower and take you to Lilith, I'm sure she's awake," I said as I strolled into the bathroom.I paused in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection as memories of last night flashed through my head.I felt goosebumps when I remembered how Zelda suddenly sneaked in through my window and suddenly spoke to me. My head went berserk.But all thanks to her, she was the reason I found the courage to save Lilith.Though something still bothered me, even though I told Horace the truth about me, I was still scared. I felt like I couldn't trust him, even when I wanted to.Just like Zelda had a
NORAI wondered why she cut me off, sometimes I just wish Horace didn't get to reclaim me. I think my life would have been better and simpler if he hadn't.No one will know who I am, and I won't have to be scared to die the way I am now.My mom had risked her life for me multiple times and died, but I wouldn't let that go to waste."But werewolves don't see through walls," Lilith said as our eyes met, wrinkling my eyes. I wondered how serious the statement she made was."Are you saying Horace isn't a werewolf?" I asked, becoming more inquisitive.But I knew that wasn't possible, I had seen him shift into his wolf form countless times."I'm not going to conclude that, he's a wolf, that's why he's the Alpha... Nothing more, nothing less," she said.I knew she was aware of something, but she didn't want to tell me, or probably she didn't want me to get worried.My wolf whimpered as I suddenly felt the urge to leave there and go outside, to the hallway.Lilith gazed at me like she knew wh
NORA I stared at him, I had no idea what he wanted. First, he came back to me apologizing, he hugged me, and now I want to make him feel better, but he's scared his brother might see us. He placed one hand on my backbone and the other below my ass, scooping me up. He walked over to the table in the corner of the room, making me sit on it as he took a deep breath. Staring into my eyes, he spoke, "Nora, I overheard your conversation that night. I've had my doubts about you," he sighed, closing his eyes. My heart dropped, it was over for me. Not only was Horace aware, but Gavner overheard me as well. I had no idea what to do. I sat still as Gavner hovered over me, his hot breath scorching my face. "You knew?" I asked, and he nodded his head. Placing his palm on my face, he caressed softly. "I know asking for your trust will be too much, so I won't... Rather, I will always be here to protect you." He nibbled on his bottom lip and said, "I just hope you'd give me the chance to, and i
NORA Queen Naida and Shiba listened carefully as Ophelia narrated what exactly happened twenty-two years ago—an incident they never imagined took place. Twenty-two years ago, they mourned her death, their hearts filled with pain and sorrow. But right now, she was standing right there in front of them. Queen Shiba was certain that her sons had met with Horace and Gavner, but she was scared that Gavner now had a rival who also wanted the throne. She wondered why he was slowing down with their plans, she had no idea what was diverting his attention, but when she did find out what it was, she would not waste any time wiping them away from this world. "I can still remember that night vividly, he promised to find a better place for myself and my unborn child. I became a rouge, but he never returned." Ophelia said as the color drained from her face. Queen Naida was dumbfounded. She has always noticed how the late Alpha was secretly fond of Ophelia, but never in her wildest dreams had sh
GAVNER"Gavner," she said, her voice stern but tinged with concern. "Are you aware that Ophelia returned with her sons?"I looked up at my mother, surprised that she had already heard about Rodriguez and Hernandez, but I had no idea Ophelia was there with them. "Yes, mom, I'm aware of that. But I had no idea that Ophelia had returned," I said to her, my voice steady as I walked over to the couch beside her and sat down."Did father really have an affair with her?" I asked because I was still finding it hard to believe that the late Alpha had cheated on his mates and bore his sons without them knowing.Father didn't look like a man who was capable of cheating... he always acted so uprightly."I was not buying her filthy talks, not until she showed me and Naida one of the late Alpha's most valuable items," she said, her voice filled with emotions as she took a deep breath.She rested her arms on the table as she looked straight at me, her expression serious. "What are you going to do ab
"What did you find out, Marcel?" A man standing huge and tall asked as he hovered over the table, his eyes fixed on Marcel.Marcel walked in, standing before Vlad, the vampire king. He bowed his head. "My Lord, I have returned," he said, his voice fierce and straight.Vlad walked down the few steps, walking towards Marcel. "Speak!" Vlad commanded.Standing straight, Marcel stared directly at him. "She does exist... The Tribrid. I visited the witches and vampire clans but couldn't get her, but I finally found her in the Midnight Prowlers pack, where she happens to be the Luna of the pack." He took a deep breath as he combed through his hair with his fingers.Vlad had sent him to go in search of her because he was the only one capable of getting the job done.Many years ago, there was a prophecy that a Tribrid would be born, and she should be killed on that spot or else she would ruin the world.It was later discovered that she was born and that her mother had escaped with her the momen
NORAAs I walked through the woods, the setting sun cast a warm glow over my path. The cold air blew against my face as I ran fiercely, looking for blood to calm my cravings.I stopped the car and staggered into the woods. My senses were heightened, and my hunger for blood burned within me like a hot furnace.The hunger in my heart was severe as I stumbled around in the forest, grasping my chest. All that filled my nose was the blood of other wolves and people. I could hear their beating hearts and pumping blood.I wasn't feeling like this before until I bumped into that man earlier.I could not take it anymore... my hunger for blood was increasing, my throat was parched, and I sighed, trying to calm my cravings, but they were increasing every second.I wondered who the man I bumped into was and what he had done to me.I could hear a fast-beat heart, and my mouth watered as I tilted my head in that direction.I felt a sharp surge through my heart. "Aaahhh!" I screamed as I quickly cro
NORAGavner rushed over to me, carrying the baby from my arms. He squatted, placing his arms on my waist as he helped me stand up.As I stood up, I wondered why he wasn't scared. I could harm him. I can't even trust myself anymore.The pain in my throat was still lingering as it stung me. "You shouldn't be here," I said, my voice barely above a whisper.He pulled me closer to himself, closing the distance between us as I placed my hand on his chest."Are you saying I should leave you to kill every member of the pack?" he said tenderly as I felt his chest rise and fall on my hands.He carefully led me to the roadside. Helping me into the car, he handed the baby over to me as he turned around and hopped into the car.As he drove through the woods, I stared at the baby in my arms, whimpering. Knowing fully well that I had fed on his mother and rendered him motherless, it pierced my heart.It felt like a thousand arrows had been fired into my heart.I tilted my head, staring at Gavner, st
Five Years LaterAs the sun cast its golden rays over the grazed field, the sound of laughter filled the arena. The sun was setting, and the castle was joyful as everyone went on with their daily lives.It's been five years since the birth of Morgana, the daughter of a Tribrid, out into the world again. Morgana had grown into a high-spirited young girl.Running ahead of her was Nickolas. Ever since she was born, Nora and Gavner made sure to make her bond with Nickolas. Now, they were inseparable, playing around as Morgana chased after Nickolas. Their screams and laughter echoed throughout the open field."Morgana, be careful so you don't fall." Evelyn shouted so she could be heard as she smiled at their clumsiness.Moving into the castle with Nickolas, she grew fond of Morgana. Her eyes sparkled with joy as she admired the bond that the two kids formed between themselves."Yes, Aunty, I won't fall." Morgana chuckled as she kept on chasing after Nickolas.Over on the other side, Gavne
THIRD PERSON POV"Zelda... What? How's this even possible?" Mira stammered as she watched Zelda take a few more steps closer to her.Just like Lilith had told Zelda, she needed to take what was rightfully hers, so she decided to go back to the coven, but unfortunately, she couldn't give the comeback she really wanted to give because Lilith and Nora had killed the witches.Zelda chuckled upon seeing Mira... she was glad Mira was still alive so she could teach her a lesson."Are you surprised to see me? Or are you scared?" Zelda asked, and a cunning smile curled her lips as she glared at Mira.There was no way she would forget what Mira did to her... she just wouldn't forget it.Mira shook her head and said, "It's not possible for you to be alive! I watched the whole process as you were killed. There was no life left in you." Mira's hands trembled as she staggered backward.Zelda clenched her fists tightly as she decided to end it all—every single thing she went through in the past year
AURELIAPushing out a chair beside the dinning table as I sat down with a glass of coffee on my hand. I had promised Nora that she would live a happy life, afterall I was the one who decided to bring her into this life so I do not intend to make her suffer this much.I'm glad that she has been strong enough to undergo all of the misfortunes in this life.I felt so sorry to my daughter for causing her all of these stress, if I had let them kill her years ago, she would not be here going through all of these shit.For weeks, I've been contemplating on what to do to help clean up this mess... I had no idea what my fate was so I guess I just have to do whatsoever I had to do to end all of these.Gulping down the contents in the cup, I rose to my feet.~"What a long time Aurelia," Michela hissed turning her back at me as she strode past the hallway.She had always acted bossy to me so it wasn't a new thing, I had only come here to clear up everything. Nora didn't tell me but it seemed lik
NORAI wondered how worried Matteo was about me when he told me that, though it was really getting out of hand. Horace was making things worse, and I have no idea what to do about it.But then again, I can't leave the castle because if I do, the witches and whatever else they were, will come to attack me, and I'm not strong enough to handle them yet.I'd rather stay here, where I'm free.I'm a pregnant woman who needs to enjoy this period of her life, but here I am worried about my life and that of my unborn child, and then it was really great that I turned him down.I had no idea if he was worried about me or Lilith... why didn't I think of it?Lilith must have rejected his offer, so he came to me because he knew if I left, she must go with me.'I'm sorry, but I can't just leave.Come to think of it, I should run away... I should leave my family here because Horace is harassing me.I will survive his molestation, but at the moment I need to think of a way to clear this mess. Though I
MATTEOAs the days went on, I felt like I had no idea who Horace really was... he was changing by the day, and it was making me really scared.I had tried to talk to him, but he wasn't listening to me and always ended up shunning me away with a death threat.I was worried for everyone in the castle because we had no idea who would be his next target. I knew it was Nora, but then I knew he had his eyes on Gavner and Lilith.I was scared for them.~Days agoThe warriors were all seated under the mango tree as they talked about how stressful their day had been.Lopez sighed deeply, attracting other warriors, who tilted their heads, staring at him."What's wrong?" Thorin asked."I'm really scared of staying here in this castle... With everything that's going on in here," Lopez said calmly to avoid having his voice heard.Thorin and Gaius adjusted the way they sat, unable to say a word.Walker crossed his legs together and said, "Gaius, you were guarding the late Queen's chamber when that
MATTEOEver since I set my eyes on Lilith, I won't deny falling madly in love with her, but I was just scared that I might lose her again, just like I lost Elena.I didn't want that to happen considering the fact that she was taking care of Nora. I knew what the nature of her job stated and how she could lose her life any moment from now.All I just want is for her to be safe and sound. I can admire her from afar without her knowing, even though I'm aware that she's madly in love with me, but then there's nothing I can do about it.Ever since I returned to the pack after Horace and Rodriguez's fight, I apologized to her for how I reacted in the past, but she seemed to be slipping away from me. Maybe it was because I didn't know how to put my words together whenever I tried speaking to her, but within her, I just hoped that she was aware that I loved her with all my heart.All of my thinking migrated to when I accepted her as my mate... she was really shocked at my decision. I shut my
THIRD PERSON POVSeveral weeks agoOphelia couldn't believe Ambrose gave all of his powers to Lilith just to take her revenge on them. Now she won't forgive Lilith for ruining her plans.All of her plans have been ruined, and she has no idea what to do at the moment.She has lost everything…her son, her powers, Orion, who stood by her, Marcel, who always thought of a way out of any bad omen, and Rodriguez, who has left the pack and gone to prepare a better life for himself and a place to stay.She was all alone. Wandering in the wilderness, on the surface of the earth, she quietly hoped that she would run into Ambrose, even though he was dead.Standing several kilometers away, she could see a small home... It looked like an abandoned cottage. She smiled."Finally, I see where I can rest my head for some days, if not for that crazy bitch who ruined everything! Who the heck does she think she is?" Ophelia asked herself as she slipped her hands into her pocket to warm them from the cold.
NORAI had no idea why that happened to be the question Horace had to ask me... he made my heart beat a thousand times.Fear and anxiety engulfed my entire body system as I was shaken by forces I had no idea about."What do you mean by that?" I asked instantly, feeling uncomfortable.He shook his head. "Forget about it... I didn't mean to do that to you, and trust me this once when I say I'm not here to harm you," he said. The sincerity in his eyes pulled me to him.No!I waved it off.I wouldn't fall for his tricks, or rather, the tricks of the dragon!"Why are you here?" I asked, and I needed an answer that was straight to the point. "You know you can actually sit down if you want to talk to me, and not squatting right in front of me makes me uncomfortable."That wasn't the reason I said that... he was just right there. Very close to my unborn child. Why?Why does he have to be so close to me if he just wants to speak to me?Now I have no idea what to do. I'm heavily pregnant, and I
HORACESitting on a chair on the balcony, I just couldn't forgive myself for what I did to my mother. Now no one wants to come around because they are scared that the same fate will fall on them.Even I will assume so with the rate at which I killed people, not to mention my mother.That crazy dragon was using me to get the revenge he wanted on the people who looked down at him, and now I have no idea what to do.Who's next on his list?Nora?That reminded me... I hadn't seen her around lately, but then something about her was driving my head crazy, making me want to go and look for her.The last time I saw her, her stomach was really big, like she was due to have her baby.I know that she has no idea, but every single minute, I always pray that I don't get to hurt her for any reason, but when it happens, I just can't stop myself because I'm being controlled."Damnit!" I cursed.With time, I knew I would not have anyone who would sincerely stand by me. Everyone is avoiding and staying
