Outside the palace and all over small towns in Radna, the people boiled with rage. Many had large cardboard with signs written on them saying almost the same thing. Bring out the murderer! Such a vile woman is unfit to be our king's mate. We want her gone! One of the vampires, feeling there was more to all of this, couldn't help but frown, “What if she didn't kill the child? How about we hear from her side before concluding? The king is more likely to rain his wrath on us if everything turns out to be wrong.” The moment the words fell from his lips, everyone lashed out at him with angry eyes. "What did you just say? I saw her following a kid that night!" “You've never seen the King's mate, how did you know she's the one?” he argued back. Someone else chimed in. “She's right! I was there that evening, although I don't know the King's mate, I know Lily! A lady was following her that night.” Instantly, everyone began drilling the woman with questions. “Is that true?” “Then is s
“King... listen to me first. I wasn't doubting your ability but logically speaking, it will be difficult... even I will need about one week to gather evidence.”Her words did nothing to improve his mood, instead, his face flushed with anger as he gritted his teeth. He wanted nothing more than to bend her over and spank her butt. He's been doing every possible thing to please her and she's here doubting him? When Ivy saw him take a menacing step towards her, she shuffled back - her mind working quickly to find a way to placate him. As she took a closer look at him, she realized something was wrong with him. In a rare sense, he shouldn't be upset about something like this, should he? Then why does he look like he's starting to lose his composure...Upon realising what that was, her eyes lit up as she immediately changed her tactics, and slowly raised the side of her gown making it look like a slit. Though the gown King had put on her earlier covered her body, she still looked good in
Thrust. Thrust. Thrust. King was pounding into a woman... She was lying on her tummy, her hands were bounded in front of her that she couldn't turn even if she wants to. Realising she was having another erotic dream about her mate, her body stiffened at first then relaxed when he started showering kisses on her back, downwards to her butt and sweet spot. He pulled out of her and soon, she felt a hot wet tongue lapping on her. “Ohh...” A loud moan escaped Ivy's lips. Her back arched as she clutched the sheet tightly. "More." she gasped. He instantly withdrew from her earning a small moan of protest from her. She suddenly didn't sense his presence behind her making her push her hips back to him. Just as she was about to call his name in frustration, a loud smack echoed around the room, followed by a searing pain in her butt. Ivy stiffened as silence fell in the room. What the hell? Although she was aware that it was a dream, she definitely wasn't what she expected him to spank her.
In another room in the palace... Slap! “This is all your fault!” Cassius growled as he landed a slap on Alphine's face. Whimpering, Alphine cupped her face, her lips trembling as stared at her mate in fear. “We can fix it, honey. Listen to me...” Slap! “You want me to listen? How about you resolve this problem you've caused? King is unto us as I speak! I was stupid for following your advice!” he aggressively kicked her tummy after that and began pacing. Alphine yelped in pain as she curled into a ball with tears trickling down her face. Although Cassius was hitting her physically, that wasn't what pained her heart. She was heartbroken. She thought their relationship will get better after all the years she has spent with him but he became worse every passing day. She has done so much for him just to please him but her efforts were never appreciated. At a moment, she felt aggrieved as reality sank in slowly. He is never going to change! She's just a tool for him to achieve his
King took the clothes from the guard in a shocked manner. What the heck? Isn't this what she was putting in earlier? How did it end up on the ground? Did she take off her clothes due to anger? Was she that jealous? Although he was worried about her whereabouts, a smile tugged at his lips. That's a good thing, right? If she's jealous it could only mean she likes him, right? He became over the moon at the thought that he dismissed Levi. “Keep searching!” Once the guard left, King went to his room to change out of his royal attire to a silky smooth that was usually worn by rich Lords in town. He then added a hat which covered hid his face from view. He doesn't want to draw much attention to himself so it'll be preferable this way. After taking one last glance at himself in the mirror, he teleported to the laundry district, where he caught a faint scent of hers making him raise a brow. His brain worked quickly as he processed what must have gone on with Ivy. If she came here, it mea
Sweet pea dropped the snake to the table and grabbed Ivy's shoulders. Their position put her delicate neck directly in Ivy's face. At first, Ivy wanted to resist it, she really did but the blood pumping through pea's veins seemed to call her. She became tempted! Being drunk, she didn't consider the risk of feeding in public anymore. Ivy directly seized Pea's head in her hands and sank her fangs into Pea's skin. A faint moan escaped her lips and held pea even harder as the taste of Pea's blood burst in her mouth. Ivy had unintentionally tucked her face in the crook of her neck causing the hat she was donning to fall off causing her long hair to tumble down her back in waves. Everyone at the table became quiet as they stared at Ivy wide-eyed. He's a girl!!! What the f*ck?? And she's feeding off a vampire? That makes her a hybrid, right? They were left speechless by the discovery and could only gape in astonishment at Ivy. Even the people at the other tables noticed that it had qu
Ivy woke up with a start the next day feeling more refreshed than she had ever done in a long time which was weird cause she should be feeling down after taking that amount of alcohol. Speaking of alcohol... Ivy stilled trying to recall everything that has happened when someone cleared his throat in the room. She jumped out of the bed, startled and peered at King who stood there with an amused look twinkling in his eyes. Her mind couldn't help but register how handsome he looked standing right there. Bare-chested, pants hanging extremely low on his waist that she could even see the V in his lower tummy. What made her gulp was the fact that he had a ‘just woke up hair’ adding to his charm. Damn! Her mate was too sexy! “What? Why are you looking at me like that?” she snapped, glancing away from him when he caught her ogling him. King smirked, “I see you are back to your old self, mate.” At his words, Ivy became alarmed that she paused. She was just about to speak when a memory fl
Veins popped out from Omar's head. He wanted to lash out at him but couldn't, knowing that he was the King. His head will be cut off and hung on a spike if he dares to yell at the King. Another council member stood up after sensing Omar couldn't speak out of anger. “Your Majesty I—” Before he could utter another word, King shot him a terrifying cold look making him freeze on the spot. He, therefore, sat back with an embarrassed face. He hated Ivy's mate for being King which was why he'd always continue to secretly support Osiris, Rayvinn's mate to death. At this time, Omar has regained a little bit of his composure. He glanced at King confidently, “The reason is simple your Majesty. As your council members, we have every right to make decisions which were what we've been doing that has placed you on the throne today.” In other words, since he doesn't have the ring, they could easily remove him just as they had placed him there. Dario, the man who Nadine had slept with stood up a
“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
