“What?” “You bastard! How dare you?” Stephan and Theo strode towards Razik in anger. They've heard enough of this nonsense! How dare he suggest that? Before they got near him, Razik men blocked their way with their weapons out. Razik raised his perfectly shaped brows, “So, which is it going to be? Will you serve me or not? this is your one opportunity, and you don't have much time..” “I have a mate...mates.” Knox choked out. He could feel his heart constricting in heartbreak at the idea of sleeping with someone other than his mates, but he later realizes how crucial this is. Those arrogant vampires will not want to submit to or engage in combat with the hybrids, but if they see Razik joining them, they may. While trying to help Delaney, Knox was torn between doing so and breaking her heart. It hasn't been long since he had her, and losing her so quickly was something he never anticipated would occur. Stephan shook his head, “Don't do it, Knox, we don't need his help, we'll figur
Esme had been anxious and sick with worry for those three days, doing everything she could to help Delaney get better. She already thought they were going to be eaten alive by those rogues, but Delaney narrowly escaped them. However, because of the fall impact, Delaney's pregnancy has now become more complicated and critical than it was supposed to. If she wasn't supernatural, she would have lost the baby. But it's a good thing she isn't aware of it just yet. Esme thought.Delaney attempted to sit up groggily, thinking that her eyes were playing tricks on her so she blinked once more. The woman, though, gently pressed her down. She once more used her wolf's night vision to look at the woman, and there, the same familiar face that belonged to her birth mom. What is going on? Her mother died while giving birth to her, right? Is the revelation she witnessed at the time flawed in any way?“You! You are who?"“Easy child, reserve your strength for the little one. I am Emaline. Your mom's y
At Hirvania! After the ordeal with Razik, Knox remained in the room, wallowing in guilt after Razik left the next day. He felt even more ashamed when he sensed Delaney down the bond. She knows. Additionally, he didn't want her to learn about it in that manner, which just served to intensify the self-hatred he was already experiencing. Since the deed has already been done, Knox pushed aside all his emotions and decided to focus on the task at hand because they were running out of time. They've spent enough time here than they have anticipated. Disgusted with himself, he entered the bathroom and started scrubbing his body. However, no matter how hard he scrubbed, he couldn't wash off what he was feeling. He could still feel Razik's hands all over him, he could still hear his groans as he took pleasure from his body. Razik didn't just sleep with him once, he went all night. Knox knew that Razik was heartless but he didn't know it went up to the point of mating with him who already
How could he not find a way to bring down the barrier? It took Maddox months to figure it out. Months! He had already felt that he was close to accomplishing something significant, but after months of remaining outside the barrier without any idea of how to proceed, he started to have second thoughts. Until he arrived at a certain location and that little hybrid (Nadine) disappeared before his eyes. Then he realized there had been a barrier there all along. He wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't seen the girl with his own two eyes. He didn't just find the hybrid Queen; he also discovered their hiding place, therefore the first thing he did was to report back to King Atlas for his reward. Maddox was fully aware of Atlas' involvement with the rogues, but he wasn't opposed to it—after all, he is after the Aligning oneself with such a potent influence wouldn't be such a bad thing if Atlas is successful in governing the supernatural world with the help of the rogues at his disposal. As
“Atlas!” Delaney stated while keeping a wary eye on him. She finally understood why there weren't any rogues in the hallway at that point. He must have anticipated their arrival! His blood-red fangs, which signify that he recently fed, were displayed as he smirked. His grey hair appeared to have gotten longer, but otherwise, he was pretty much the same as before. Despite having lived for more than a thousand years, he appeared to be in his late fifties. "Ahh, I see you've met your aunt," he said as his red eyes landed on her before flitting to Emaline. "And here I thought you were defending your people at your phony hideout. Who would have imagined you would have given a young lad command of a war? Let me guess, he's your son?” Delaney's heart trembled. That is her weak spot and he knows it. She also understands that he's trying to frighten her into acting rashly, so she took a long breath while trying to calm herself down. 'Ivan will be fine. He is fine. I trust him —’ Before she
“How is she?” Rakel asked once the doctor came out.There were still a lot of things to accomplish even if the war was done, but Rakel couldn't force himself to care—not while Delaney has been out for two days.The nurse grinned broadly and said, "Congratulations, Alpha! The Queen is expecting a child!Rakel's mind went blank for a minute, he gaped in awe at the nurse. “What?”“She is two months gone. The pregnancy has a minor complication, but it should be fine as long as she remains bedridden for the following four months. However, something must have happened. Make sure she maintains a stable mood throughout this time because a mother's negative emotions might have an impact on the baby and increase the risk of miscarriage. Once she awakens, she would be ravenous."Rakel continued to stand still after the nurse had left. 2 months? Wasn't that the night that he and Knox tormented her until dawn? The night he learned he was a father. Fortunately, she didn't lose the baby because if h
A few plates were delivered into a room by a maid hours later for Delaney. But only they are aware that it is just a farce. The maid primarily brought the food to deliver a tiny bottle that she had brought from the shaman on Nadine's order. "Your Majesty, in order to use this to prevent pregnancy, you need a drop. To end a pregnancy, use three drops. Your womb might be destroyed in five drips." Delaney gave a nod. "That's it for now, Mari." “Yes.” Delaney chewed her lips, finally alone, and glanced at the black bottle. The more she stared at it the more guilty she became. Rakel's expression replayed in her mind over again threatening her resolve. The first time she found out she was pregnant — that's the first time she was captured by her stepdad, she always pictured how Rakel would have reacted whenever he founds out she was pregnant. Now that she knows, she found herself hesitating to go on with it. Her hand massaged her tummy once more; it appeared to be a habit that most pre
He was ready to start talking when Delaney did something unexpected that caught him off guard. She sprinted in his direction and threw herself into his arms. Knox squinted before slowly encircling her small waist with his arms. He was shocked and asked, "You are not upset with me?" In response, Delaney bit his arm earning a hiss from him. ‘Yup, she's furious, but then why is she hugging me?’ Knox thought. He had already pictured how this will go, with her lashing out at him, rejecting his mate bond but this... “My love, I'm sorry,” he whispered into the quiet room. He heard Delaney sniff and became worried. "Say something, love. Hit me if that helps you feel better, but don't cry, hmm?" he grabbed her face in his palm and felt his heart breaking when he saw tears streaming down her face. “I'm not crying. Something got into my eyes.” snorted and blinked frantically. Knox nodded. “Yes, yes, something must have entered into your eyes.” “Don't you ever leave me, okay? No matter wh
“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
