[Amor’s POV]“At the most, we can buy people’s opinions. If we use force to suppress the religious voices, there will be an uproar,” gamma Nash said.I understood the sensitivity of the situation. I had only two options — secretly silence all the radical elements and second buy their opinions. In either case, if the public came to know, malignant revolts would break out everywhere. “Any other suggestions?” I asked the dukes. They knew about Zeve’s powers along with gamma Nash, mother and aunt Lozbi. My voice silenced them like Morfan and Lucella, but I did not know how I would silence the voices of the religious groups.The cabinet was silent.Morfan was silent too, and so was Hikari. I had informed Zahir about the situation as well, but no reply had come from him either. How the hell did religion get involved now? I rubbed my temples. I had a feeling it was the work of the vampires because once again, the one being affected from the chaos was Zeve.Why don’t these vampires just gi
[Amor’s POV]I had a feeling. The day I feared the most had finally come — a day when Zeve would no longer need me.“Do you realise what you are saying? Do you know what will happen if you do that?”“I completely understand. I don’t want you to stand against the religious leaders. You don’t have to suppress any voice that rises against me. So I want to reveal my powers to the heads of all the religious groups myself,” she said.I took a deep breath, trying to cool the temperature that was subtly heating our conversation. “Do you have any idea what you are saying?” “I have. Amor, the religious leaders from all over Arginieth, will start heading to the palace in a day or two. My spy butterflies have spread throughout Arginieth. So, I know the rumours are spreading among the public every second. If the pack public revolts, the chaos would be worse than the one during the bomb attack.”“I know. That is why I requested priestess Melantha to come to Arginieth herself. No religious leader
[Amor’s POV]Zahir sat with his usual calm and stoic appearance. This man had forever been unreadable for me.Hikari peered at Zeve as soon as she entered the room. I glared at him, lifting my eyebrows. “I can break every bone in your body,” I said with a blunt face. “No, if that’s your wish, I will oblige,” I said.“No one’s breaking anyone here,” Lucella said in a sleepy, irked tone. “I have had enough broken bones, skulls and spines for the day. Just because I am a doctor doesn’t mean I love bloodbaths every other hour! All I need is a normal bath with water and soap where I don’t have to smell like medicine all the time!” Lucella said in one breath.Zahir, Morfan and Hikari looked at her with wide eyes and shocked faces.Being a pack doctor came with its own pros and cons. Sudden emotional bursts were one of them. “Lucella!” Zeve yelled.“Zeve!” Lucella yelled in a crying tone.They hugged each other as if they were long-lost sisters. When did their relationship grow to this ext
[Amor’s POV] “Why do you ask, your highness?” Zahir said. “Oh, I am sorry. I-I was just curious…” she said nervously, with a light shrug. It was then that Zahir and Hikari relaxed a little. “What is this forbidden magic for you to react like that?” I asked. “Magic is a very vast subject, and it’s impossible to explain to you what forbidden magic is in a few hours. Just know that forbidden magic is a type of magic that deals with the mind. It includes taboo topics like mind manipulation, dream control, thought reading, etc. These are more dangerous than any destructive magic,” Zahir said. “They sound cool to me,” Morfan said, scratching his ear. “It would be awesome if I could control the minds of people and manipulate them according to my will. I could double my wages, too.” I cocked an eyebrow at him while Lucella chuckled. Zeve blinked at him with a blunt smile. But a heavy aura had fallen around Zahir and Hikari. “Would you say the same if someone controlled your mind and
[Amor’s POV]“Ultimas?” Zeve looked confused. “What does that mean?” She looked at us, confused.“The first lines of pureblood werewolves,” Morfan said.“Ultima — a rank considered even above an alpha,” Lucella said.“It is believed that they were the purest, strongest and most dominating werewolves to exist,” Hikari said.“A roar from an ultima was a command that every alpha was bound to obey,” I said, and Zeve’s eyes lit up in amazement, her lips curled into an ‘O’.From her face, it was clear that she wanted to know more about the ultimas.&ldqu
[Amor’s POV]“Where are the ultimas now?” I asked Zahir.“There are no ultimas now,” he said.“What happened to them?” Hikari asked.“It’s a… long story. After travelling around the world and reaching the lands of Ultima, I settled there for a few years because their islands were completely aloof from the world. They didn’t even exist on any map, so the chances of vampires finding me there were very low…”“Why didn’t you head straight to Jiyushu, overlord?” Hikari asked.“I couldn’t. I feared Derek would find me there because he was not just manipulative and the lord of dark magi
[Amor’s POV]“A war that lasted for generations and a war that completely changed the way I viewed the ultimas and the world. A war that has never been accounted in any history book, but a war that possibly gave this world one last chance,” Zahir said, skimming his eyes over all of us.I wondered if my werewolf abilities were enhanced because of the Frost forest or because those forests were once inhabited by the ultimas? I kept my questions to myself for the time being and listened to Zahir.“The ultimas could bend magic with their bare hands and tear apart any illusion created by dark magic with their fangs. I was stupefied when I witnessed their true strength, and my hopes for this world were rekindled. The ultimas seemed to be mana-resistant, which wasn’t the case. Mana affected them as well, but because of their focused mind, their lands and their pure souls, they
[Amor’s POV]The aura around Zeve was completely disturbed. “Please calm down, your highness. Your mana is flowing at an alarming rate. Like this, the seal I put on you will break. Please calm down,” Hikari coaxed Zeve.Panting, Zeve looked at Hikari and then at Zahir.“Beta Morfan, royal doctor and alpha, please leave this tower right now,” Zahir said.All of us were already on our feet, unable to comprehend what was going on with Zeve. Lucella held Morfan’s hand and stayed by his side, peering at Zeve with tense eyes.“Morfan, escort Lucella to her palace,” I ordered.“But, alpha. How can we leave…”The pressure Zeve’s aura created on the whole tower had started crumbling its roof. “Leave at once!” I yelled and Morfan ran out of the tower with Lucella.“Overlord, please leave with alpha, I will take care of her highness,” Hikari said as the tattoo on his neck disappeared and white dragon revolved around Zeve and Hikari separating Zahit and me from them.I was about to get closer t
