With remorse in her eyes, she peered between them. “I...” Will they despise her if she tells the truth to them? "Don't even consider lying, princess; we have evidence." Knox threatened. Immediately, her eyes reddened. She responded with a lowered gaze.“Yes, I did. I killed him.” Knox and Rakel exchanged blank stares, unable to say anything. Despite the fact that they had expected it, hearing it from her confirmed how much she had changed. She must have gone through a lot in the past. They suddenly felt so ashamed that they couldn't protect their mate, but Delaney misunderstood their troubled expression for their disappointment with her and sought to explain herself. “He deserved it okay? He had tried to hurt me and my...” She trailed and cleared her throat after almost slipping. "At the council meeting, he threatened to reveal what I am. Believe me when I say there's nothing going on between..." Knox's lips engulfed hers in a passionate kiss before she could finish. Rakel then bega
Cassie ran to the spot where Delaney has just disappeared and blinked, exasperated like the rest of them. However, she and Asher don't have any idea that Delaney was a queen. They only know that Delaney somehow has the power to lead them to the hybrid kingdom. Of course, Asher didn't believe that hybrids still exists, he was merely following them thinking they didn't want to tell them the truth. “That is so cool! Does Delaney have vanishing powers? But wait, she didn't just leave us here to figure out where the hell she went to right? Not after walking for two days!” she thought of something and gasped. “It can't be that an invisible creature took her, right?” After she was forcefully mated to Asher, she had tried to deny her feelings for him but at the end of the day, she couldn't put him at arm's length anymore. Especially when her parents were pushing her to marry a man they specifically chose for her. And so, she introduced Asher to her parents. Although the result of the outcom
Delaney was escorted to her children's room during this time. "I'll see you soon," she said with a gesture to Celine. “Your schedule will be busy from tomorrow onwards. We the six warriors, protector of Asteroy thought that you might want to spend some time with the kids, so you'll have to rest early.” “Alright, thank you.” Celine walked away with a nod. Delaney inhaled deeply and pushed open the door. Something slammed into her, nearly knocking her off her feet before she could even take a step into the room. Ivan hugged her legs fiercely, exclaiming, "Mommy!" Another pair of arms encircled her thighs. "I've been missing you so much, Mama!" Ian exclaimed. Delaney guffawed, her eyes reddening as she knelt to hug her sons. "Oh my, you guys have gotten so much bigger and more attractive. I can't even lift you anymore.” It always astounds her how quickly they grow up. She suspected something was wrong with them when they were younger, but she eventually realized it was due to their
Knox was there before she could take a step outside, yanking her back inside and slamming the door shut. A squeal left her mouth as she was suddenly lifted to the air, the next thing she felt was her back to head. Rakel's face appeared in her field of vision all of a sudden. "It's not what you think!" Delaney cocked her head to the side and blinked innocently. “I didn't think anything!” Knox scoffed as he sat peacefully on the bed. “Yes, you did. Your face says it all. You like the thought of Rakel and I together, don't you?” Yes. "No!" she squeaked, her face flushing scarlet as she shook her head furiously. They heard a bang at the door the next minute, indicating that Rakel had left the room. Delaney sat up and glanced after him, a frown carved on her face. With an inquisitive gaze, she turned to Knox who shrugged. “Seems like he has something in his mind.” Her mood had now been disrupted, causing her to sigh. However, there is still a lot of time ahead of us. Knox locked his
They weren't the only ones watching. Ivan and Ian stood before the camera, watching the footage and could not help but shake their heads. “He's useless. He won't be able to take care of mommy!” Ian chuckled. “But I like him this way, he looks kind of fun...” when he saw Ivan gazing at him with a cold gaze, he trailed off. “What?” “Don't forget, you will not meet him yet until we are sure,” Ivan muttered. His shoulder dropped.“But why? Sigh, okay. What should we do next?” Ivan thought about it for a while and shook his head. "I'm not sure yet. I'll think of something soon." Soon, Ivy joined them in all smiles making Ian puzzled. “How did it go?” "Great!" she said with a toothy grin. “I love Daddy and will love to spend more time with him in future.” her smile faltered when she caught the sign of the mark in her hand reminding her of the vampire she had saved and immediately, her mood became soured. Without a word to her brothers, she went into her room and began staring off into
In another room, someone sipped on a glass of blood, with a lopsided grin. Humph, let's see how this goes. It seems like she doesn't need to interfere and everything is going accordingly. * It was time for the duel before they realized it. Knox and Rakel, who had just learned of it, rushed to the throne room, nervously just as she was about to go to the arena. Her short red hair was pulled back into a high ponytail as she dressed in black leather pants and a shirt. Instead of a combat, she appeared to be on the runway. The cheers from the arena were grating on her nerves, and she could hear them from where she stood. “Please tell is it's not true, Laney.” "I accepted his challenge," Delaney said as she moved over to them..” "How about we go to your place? It won't make a difference because we're your mates —" Delaney was already shaking her head before Rakel could finish his sentence. “That won't do, I need to do this myself. It's the fastest way to gain people's support. Or else
PS: Last Chapter has been edited, do check it out! * Zander, on the other hand, thought it was all over. He sneered. That was easy. A woman attempting to rule over him? He laughed at the prospect of it happening. She can't even protect herself and dreams of ruling? Never! He can't let it happen. Despite having elemental abilities, the princess was powerless against him. After witnessing this, the crowd became silent. Is it over now? Is it really that simple? The crowd realized something wasn't right when Zander turned to walk away. A teasing breeze brushed over their bodies, and they didn't believe anything was amiss at first, but the air began to circle the pit where Delaney and Zander were standing. Their brows furrowed as it began to gently take up sand and produce a small whirlwind. ‘What is happening?’ ‘Did the weather change so suddenly?’ ‘Is this normal?’ everyone began discussing among themselves. Ava grinned as she witnessed this. Nothing was impossible with Delaney, she
“Daddy! Hug me!” Knox had no choice but to lean down and pick her up after she raced in front of him and stretched out her little hands. Ivy flung her arms around his neck as soon as he did. Something must be wrong with Knox because he doesn't find this as awkward as the prior time. “Did you miss me, Daddy?” Knox blinked, “Um, yes?” Liar! Lying is a horrible thing. Anyone who lies, according to Mommy, is a nasty person." What sort of logic is that? He thought panicking, “No, I'm telling the truth I spent the entire week thinking about you when I wasn't worried about your mother.” of course he thought about what she did to him, how could he forget? Ivy studied him, “Really?” “Of course. Uhh, you didn't tell me your name princess and don't you have a dad? Why do you keep calling me that?” “I'm Ivy and we didn't have a father, but now we do.” Knox brow crease, we? What does she mean by that? But before he could ask, Ivy already hopped off him and rushed off to a bag he didn't no
“Ivy!!! Get down from there, right now!” A light chuckle rang out in the air as she formed an image in her mind, silently asking the dragon she was riding on to soar higher. “Catch me if you can, King. You old ass, see you on the other side!” Rounds of curses were heard behind her as King followed after her, his heart palpitating fiercely from fear. She is going to kill him with frustration! How could a single pregnant Hybrid cause so much havoc in a single day? Oh, Ivy is pregnant, you heard correctly! It's been five years now after what in the underworld. Five! Bet you're wondering what happened, aren't you? Here's how it went...thinking about what went down, King's expression turned gloomy. He intended to combine two realms and establish himself as the supreme being. His loathing for wolves, humans, and the paranormal peaked when he saw her and his uncle hugging and kissing on the street back then. He wanted to devour them whole! He fulfilled his grandfather's wishes by
One minute, Belize felt Axis kissing her and the next minute, she was standing alone back in Axis's home. Dazed, she blinked slowly to get her bearing. Soon she confirm she was truly back! She vividly felt immersed power exploding in the room before everything shifted so suddenly. Lowering herself to the ground, her hands found their way to her chest clutching it. The gaping hole is back again. When she hugged that man, King... she felt whole, complete for some unknown reason. But now the hole is back again, and it was much deeper than before! Especially with her knowing that King was in trouble. Doesn't he know who Axis was? She may have stayed with him for a day but with the level of danger she sensed within Axis... she knew he was dangerous. Her instinct is always on overdrive whenever she was around him even though she's his betrothed. She couldn't help but replay everything that happened back at the Palace in her head over and over again. From the way King looked at her, sh
She ducked to the floor hissing as she hit her head slightly. She then clutched her pounding chest with a frown on her face, why does she feel this way? Slowly, she got on her feet and peered out through the window again. When she didn't see anyone, she blinked breathing out a sigh of relief. She thought he was finally gone until she heard... “What are doing?” Her heart skipped. Instantly, she spun only to find him standing in her room! What's that his name... King! **** Meanwhile, before all this... Eliana arrived at the hidden location with King after Ivy went missing and King quickly stepped away from her whilst glancing around. “What is this place? I need to find my mate, not take a vacation in an unknown location!” King spat, his eyes going bloodshot at once. He couldn't help but feel anxious. It's all his fault! He should have gone after her immediately when she went missing. Just thinking about all the suffering she has been through these days made the veins in his fo
Meanwhile, the moment Axis left, Belize got up with the snake wrapped around her neck and began looking around. She wasn't just looking, she was searching for something... anything that'll help her memories and if not that, she wanted to see if she'd be familiar with anything. Unfortunately, it all felt new...like this was the first she was here. Belize couldn't help but think, am I really his fiancee? Is he to be trusted? She soon realised how big this place was after walking for thirty minutes with no idea whatsoever where the exit door was located. Right when she took a sharp bend, she came across something causing her to halt on her step. It was a portrait of herself and it looked old. Her frown deepened. A portrait? This could be proof that she's looking for, right? Since this picture has been here then Axis must be telling the truth. She suddenly felt bad for doubting him. He must be feeling down that she forgot about him, yet she dared to doubt him? Her hand slowly trai
Belize gazed up at him registering why he looked hurt. It's because she was his intended all along! His fiancee! She was going to apologise for forgetting him but no words came out of her. It just didn't feel right...“I've got a present for you by the way,” he muttered, getting up. “The name is Axis, Little Bee.”The frown on Belize's face deepened as she watched him leave. Axis? Why does his name not ring a bell? Logically speaking if she's his betrothed, they should have met several times in the past, and even if she doesn't recall his name, she should feel a bit of familiarity with him, right? The frown on her face smoothened out when she saw him coming as she made her mind go blank, knowing he could read her mind. Though she was clueless about everything at the moment, it doesn't mean she was stupid, she plan to start researching this place the moment her body was strong enough... She needs to find out who she is.A big black snake hung on Axis's shoulders as he walked towards
They arrived at the hideout where Pea brought Ivy minutes before she was taken by Taiga's clan. There, King could see some of his trained brotherhood gathered around the area causing his brows to crease. “What is happening?” “Your majesty we found this in the woods not long ago and this... Look at these marks on the ground,” Zaar bent to touch the burnt marks on the ground. “I've been here several times before and this wasn't here. It looks like a whip line or something...” King studied the markings on the ground and nodded. It looked like a whip mark that burnt the ground. He then collected the small black round object from Zaar to check it out. When he saw the lid, he tried to open it but got stopped by Zaar. “Majesty, don't!” “What is it?” King paused. “There is only one can who uses that item, I have no idea what it's called but I've seen it before. It produces something such as smoke. The smoke in that thing is capable of putting anyone, including supernatural beings into a
Radna. The following day, the King walked around the palace's corridors looking for something to occupy his mind off his mate. He had even blocked her out just to prevent himself from storming straight to Asteroy to bring her back. She needs space, he reminded himself. It's the least he could do after everything he had done. Everyone bowed as he passed by and covertly glanced at him to see why he was strolling through the hallways, which was unusual for him as he teleports. As if that hasn't shocked them enough, they saw him going to the Eastern Quarters, one that belonged to Lord Osiris and Lady Rayvinn. The guards were also shocked and didn't know how to react. They wanted to stop him but can't, knowing it was the King. They too wanted to rush outside to report to Osiris, but the King's stare stopped them in their tracks. “Your Majesty!” King gave them a nod before continuing on his way. Shortly after, he overheard girlish laughter coming from the wing's suburbs, which als
The Taiga clan? Shit! It's worse than she imagined! She wasn't aware that killing Taiga would have repercussions when she did so in the past. What should she do? She sighed as her thoughts wandered back to King. He wouldn't believe she abandoned him, would he? She may not know much about Taiga's clan, but the fact that they managed to enter Radna undetected demonstrates their skill. “Whoever you are, I don't understand what you're saying. Would you mind letting us out so we can talk?” A peal of laughter sounded after she said that as if he just heard the most funniest thing ever. “Now, now, sweetheart. You are lying, and we both know it. His body was undamaged, but he displayed symptoms of choking on his own blood? Only one person in the world has that kind of ability. Ha! You had us fooled for a minute, letting us think it's your darling mate did it, isn't it?” he drawled in a sing song tone. Ivy was nervous because he spoke as though they were conversing over a cup of tea ra
King first began to feel anxious. Did she really leave? Even though he had already searched every inch of his quarters, he did it again as his heart raced with panic. She did not... She wouldn't abandon him, would she? King closed his eyes, concentrated on her because he didn't want to believe it, and soon darkness began to crackle in the air and spread across the palace as it frantically looked for Ivy. He simply needed to sense her to find her because his darkness identified her as his mate. As it was already late in the evening, the darkness seemed to overflow out of him. He didn't realize the markings on his skin had a faint golden hue. Thirty minutes passed and his eyes opened. She was nowhere on the palace grounds! Although she had mentioned she would leave him if he hurts her, he didn't think she'd actually leave him. With a trembling hand, he summoned Zaar and Noreen. When they both saw flickering madness in his, they tensed. “Your Maj—” “Where is the princess?” he cut t
