When they got to the garden, two more visitors were waiting for Ivy. “Young master!” Sweet Pea shouted upon seeing Ivy, her eyes couldn't help but light up at the sight of her. Then realising Ivy wasn't a male anymore, she paused — her face flushing red like a ripe tomato. “Uh... I mean...” Ivy flashed an embarrassed smile and went to ruffle her hair. “Pea! Why are you here?” Her attention only made be became flustered as her heart rate spiked. Although Ivy was now a woman, it didn't change the fact that she still had feelings for her. “His Majesty asked me to wait for you,” she whispered, glancing down at her fingers. Ivy cocked her head as she figured out what King was trying to do, but she didn't say much knowing that Rayvinn was listening to everything that was being said. Instead, she glanced at the other person and was surprised to see Brandon! The man she competed with. Brandon felt his cheeks heat up when Ivy's eyes fell on him. When he regained consciousness, his men
King could immediately sense that something was amiss as he entered his room, especially when he noticed that the lights were turned off and that Ivy wasn't present. His suspicion was verified when he caught a glimpse of her on the balcony.He heard her say, "That girl, Rana... do you love her?" as he moved closer to her.He abruptly stopped walking out of sheer surprise. Even though he was unable to see her face, he could sense that something was seriously wrong. Has she heard anything recently? He attempted to access her mind through the bond right away, but the shield protecting it was as solid as a rock.“Vee, whatever you saw in your dreams are memories, my memories. And no, I don't love her, it was simply a fling.” Gosh, who knew that he'd be explaining himself to his mate one day?However, he didn't want Ivy to misunderstand him, things are already going great between them, and didn't want to sabotage it because of the past. As if that wasn't enough, he continued, "I may have
She set the whip aside and then took off his clothes with so much effort that King didn't know if he should laugh or cry. He has always been the one tying up women, leaving them vulnerable to himself so he could do as he pleases him. Who would have thought that he'd end up being the submissive one today? Not to mention where she got all this stuff from. He tugs at the handcuffs and seeing he could easily free himself from them, he relaxed on the bed and watched Ivy with a heated gaze. He'd let her be in control, for now, he wants to see how Ivy looks when she's acting all domineering. But, damn it! She hasn't even touched him yet and he's hard as f*ck. She was merely gazing at him with a hooded gaze as if she couldn't get enough of the sight in front of her. Of course, he likes the fact that his mate loves his body but does she knows what it's doing to him? “Vee...” he panted, somewhat speechless. “How long do you plan on standing there?” Ivy giggled, walked to the side and soon, a
Nadine panted as she fell on the bed trying to catch her breath as Omar's friend, one of the council members came on top of her. She can't put all her eggs in one basket, can she? No. Since Dario and Omar were locked up by the King, she needed to find another alternative. He tried to make a move on her again, "Beauty, I can never get enough of you," but Nadine swatted his hands away in disdain. "You can have me after the hunt." “The hunt will be in three weeks, do you think I can wait that long? Huh, beauty?” “Make it happen this evening then. I've already listed what should happen during the hurt, it shouldn't be the same thing as the last hunt!” Nadine snapped walking into the bathroom to shower. She reappeared a little while later completely dressed and as like nothing had happened. After saying, "I'll be back for your reward," she walked out of the room. Her personal maid appeared out of nowhere as she approached her chambers, looking frantic, calling out, "My Lady!" “You

Where are they now?”“Everyone's at the arena. The hunt has already begun.”Ivy hummed and quickly dressed up. Pea helped her tie up the places that needed to be and afterwards, they both left the palace. From where she was, Ivy could hear the thunderous screams of the people as they cheered. Each step she took forwards hard her stomach twisting in knots, while her palms became clammy. Pea stopped right before they entered the place, “I will stop her, Princess. Good luck.”Ivy nodded. “Take care of Sweetheart, I will be back soon.” or as soon as the hunt finishes. With a deep breath, she stepped into the arena. As she walked forward, people began noticing her,
Ivy remained still. As she continued to look at the people, something happened that caused everyone to stop what they were doing and turn to look at her.Why? Because she opted to kill the humans humanely rather than brutally killing them like Nadine and Rayvinn did. She concentrated on their bodies using the sole source of water they had because she has control over water... Their Blood! Even though it was horrible, she forced them to choke on their own blood because she believed that only death could save them.She would have struggled to take more than one life at a time if it had been a different time, but she took fifty! Effortlessly, just thinking about it.Ivy looked in shock at the dead littered on the ground! The force within her was rippling, and she could feel it requesting that she kill more lives. Though she was tempted, that wasn't how she was trained! Was this the power of darkness? She wondered with trembling hands.She soon became still, though, as she became aware o
Ivy froze, her mouth hanging open as she continued to stare at it. What on earth is that?? And they expect them to tame it? Are they insane? In terror, some of the women fled back to the Palace gates. But no matter how much I pounded on it or tried to open it, it remained closed. Other female warriors attempted to assault the dragon, but before they could even approach, he used his tail to knock them to the ground. Their attempt to fight the beast only seems to rile it more as a deep growl rumbled out of its chest. “It's real.” Ivy heard something from the side and turned to look at Pea. She was admiring it rather than looking at it with trepidation and fear like the others, which proved her intuition had been right, that sweet pea was more than just what she appeared to be. But what was she hiding? Yes, the beast was an uncommon sight, and despite the fact that most people would find its appearance repulsive, Ivy found it to be awe-inspiring. I mean, it's her first time seeing
On the other side of the barrier, the people watched everything happening and stared at the screen in anticipation. There were bodies littered on the ground, some turned into pieces by the dragon yet the dragon wasn't satisfied as he kept slaughtering the women. Everyone had cast disapproving looks at the princess as she fled into the woods. They were more resentful than anything, what are you saying? They expected her to be the first to attack the dragon, and even more so, to do what she did to those humans, especially after her earlier power display but when she fled, their expectations were dashed. She was actually the first to run! How pathetic is that? Of course, none of them gave a damn even when they noticed that she was limping slightly; all they cared about was getting their bloody appetites sated, and when she didn't deliver on that promise, they immediately started calling her names and making rude remarks about her. They weren't aware that someone was listening to th
“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
