Ivy took the outfit she was supposed to wear to the hunt from Pea when the stomach ache finally eased up. “Are you sure you are fine, Princess?”

“I'm good. 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

    King, perturbed by the startling commotion, made his way to the balcony to investigate. He saw his reflection in the mirror as he passed it and stopped dead in his tracks. He looked different... But that's not what had him pausing. It's the electric blue in his eyes and darkness overflowing around him. He raised a hand, twirling it around whilst gaping as a gust of darkness flowed with his movement. Darkness crackled in the air as it surrounded him making him look like the king of Hell at that moment. If it were any other time, he'd find it a bit difficult summoning his ability but now it comes to him even before he calls for it. His fangs were extended looking longer than before, but what shocked him most was his skin! There were markings on it like a tattoo, all around his chest leading to his back! Only, he had no idea what was written as it looked like it was in an ancient language. And though King didn't understand what happened earlier, he had felt the shift in him when he

    “What is she talking about, King?” Ivy asked again trying to prop herself up but the healer rushed to push her down. “Your Highness, you can't get up! The gash at your side was also poisoned which is why you're healing slowly. Although I've removed some of it, it will take a month to fully heal since your body is weak after losing the baby. I'll come to look after you during this time your Highness, but next time, avoid taking herbs like that as it could destroy your womb.”While she was saying that, King and Ivy barely heard a word she said. The moment she left, a stiff silence decided in the room.Ivy said nothing. She merely peered at King with accusing eyes, while awaiting his response. She wanted to hear him say he was responsible for her child's death because if he is, she'd...“I'm all ears, King. How did an abortion herb appear in my food? If you didn't want a child, why didn't you say outright but you...” her voice cracked while her eyes reddened, “though, I knew you were c

    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

    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.

    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

    “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
