Delaney nervously paced around her old musky room. She's been doing this for hours, hoping Knox and Rakel would find her, but they haven't! And it's causing her imagination to run wild! Is it possible Knox is with that vixen? Rakel, on the other hand, she has no idea what he's up to. Aghh! She despises being envious! She loathes the sentiment of possessiveness that she has. It's making her look like an insane woman who is madly in love with men who don't give a damn about her. She even had a long argument with her wolf, Esmeralda as they searched for a solution to resolve the problems between her mates. Only, Esme was more focused on wanting to tear Enya's face to pieces. Just like any werewolf would do things without reasoning. ‘How dare she think of sleeping with my sexy vamp! Who gave her the right to even think about it? Damn it, Laney, you should have let me have my way with her. I would have shown her that no one other than me gets to touch!’ She snarled. Delaney. “...” “Didn'
It would be an understatement to say she was freaking out. She was f*cking terrified. The sight of them approaching her made her hair stand up on the back of her neck. Her inclination was to flee, but she knew that if she did, they would track her down. However, that wasn't the case for Esme. Esme was filled with anticipation of what was to come. Is this going to lead to punishment? Tempting sex sessions? Is it possible for her to have both of them this time? She became enthralled by the idea.“You are now telling people we are dead?” Rakel's frigid voice slid out of his mouth, causing her to shudder uncontrollably. She took a deep breath and shifted her gaze to the side. Her room was only a few feet away... If only she could dash into it... she can't just stand around waiting for her demise, can she? That's impossible! Delaney pondered her options."It appears you have forgotten that you were groaning and pleading for it a few days ago when we made you cum numerous times from our pur
At the Hybrids hideout, Ivy awoke from her slumber two days later with her throat burning from hunger. Luckily, Ava already prepared some bagged blood for her. She immediately started gulping it down as if her life depended on it. Ava stood there watching as she took one, two, and finally the last one. Ivan was also in the room, and he approached Ivy with concern on his face. However, just as he was about to approach her, Ivy looked up at him, and he froze. There was a tinge of red in her eyes making him pause because he has never seen such a look before. Ivy has always been so cheerful and mostly acts adorable, even when she's mad at someone, she's never made you feel a bone-chilling cold just by looking at her. Ivy set the bagged blood on the table and glared at him. "You were on the verge of killing him!" Ivan had to think for a moment before he realized what she was trying to express. “He's a stranger. A vampire who was out to get you.” Hearing that, Ivy erupted in rage. “Ivan
They've been walking for five good minutes. Five! For some reason, Delaney began feeling uneasy. Her intuition told her something wasn't right, but she couldn't pinpoint what it was. She cast another glance at the maid in front of her and decided to inquire, “How much longer?” Delaney's brows creased as the maid disregarded her and continued walking. Her unease grew even stronger. The fact that they took a silent path didn't help matters; there was no one in sight to seek for help if something went wrong. "I said, how much longer to get snow garden?" she hurriedly said, her palm clamming down on the maid. The maid avoided her gaze, “I'm sorry miss, it doesn't take up to two minutes for we vampires, but you...” Delaney frown. Despite the maid's reasonable statements, she couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't quite right. It's been two hours since she left her mates; shouldn't they have eaten by now? If And if they have, it doesn't make sense that they'd arrange for her to
How could they have been so stupid? The signs had been there the whole time! Her scent, despite the fact that it was almost non-existent, should have made them wonder why she didn't have one, her eyes... almost everything, but they didn't think she could be the one. A hybrid. They could feel the old blood in her only from the little instant she used her gift. That type of pressure can only come from Royal blood. Delaney ignored the eyes on her and ran to hug Rakel who was now naked in his human form, using her vampire speed. “A-are you okay? I thought I'd lose you!” Rakel was too shocked to speak making Delaney a bit uneasy. What will happen now that they know? Knox joined them, killing a vampire nearby and grabbed onto Delaney, “Not now wolf, focus!” And so they continued fighting. Maddox looks at Delaney as if he's discovered a new treasure. Isn't she the one King Atlas has been looking for? Isn't his reward going to be much higher if he manages to bring her to him? "Kill the
Knox was well aware that the villagers have beliefs that many people will find absurd. He'd run across them before when he was hurt, and they'd taken care of him. They sense something's up with him, but they are unaware that he is a vampire. He's been dropping by every now and then since then. "Master, you've returned? This woman here appeared out of the water. She's a ghost!" exclaims the native sorcerer. Knox clarified that she was their wife, not a ghost. However, he made no reference to Rakel. The locals promptly apologized to Delaney and proceeded to find accommodations for them, embarrassed. Delaney strolled over to them, rolling her eyes. "How did this happen? Why did you end up throwing me into the water? Do you want me to drown?” “At least, you ended up in a water,” Rakel grumbled from the side but she heard it and glanced between the two wondering if something happened but they didn't comment. “Come on, let's get inside. I need to recuperate.” Knox muttered going toward
Knox walked passed him to a chair and pat it, “Sit! I can let you watch but you can't touch her for a week, remember?” Rakel blinked when he realized Knox wasn't headed in his direction. His racing heart began to slow. Goodness! He can't believe he's thinking like this. He needs to shift and run so he could clear his mind. It felt strange being around Knox because it was messing with his head in ways he couldn't describe. He could sense the shift in their relationship since the two of them made some type of agreement to work together because of Delaney. What he doesn't know is if it's a good kind of shift or a bad kind. It seems he has become a bit dependent on the vampire which he needs to stop. "You are free to walk out if you don't want to sit..." Knox said snapping him out of his thought. He begrudgingly went to sit at a corner hating that he was only allowed to watch and not participate. He will surely get back at the vamp for his pending blue balls he's going to suffer this we
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
“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
