Her hair, now tied in a ponytail, made her look more seductive in Rio’s eyes. He watches Mathilda get dressed from outside through that thin layer of the curtain made of fine silk. Deadrei looks contented but a little bit ashamed of herself failed to hold back her feelings and was tempted successfully by his radiating warmth.
She went outside the sleeping area where she found Rio holding an ancient book of spells.
“Be careful with that, you do not want to accidentally cast a spell on yourself, right?” She warned him.
Rio closed the book and started to ask her a question.
“I just want to know how did you know about me? Who are you really, why do I feel like I have known you for a long time? I have always felt this urge inside of me wanting to be with you ever since we met at the mansion.”
“I am your mate from our previous life, we are soulmates. You are the reincarnation of Viktor son of the Alpha ki
From afar, a long strong howl from another Alpha was heard, but “wait their can only be one alpha, does that mean a Sigma was awakened?” Dante thought to himself.The connection between him and his Beta cannot be felt by him anymore. He has a bad feeling about this, there was now word from Brutus yet. What could possibly be went wrong, Dante walks back and forth in his office while smoking another piece of his quality cigar. He could not stay at ease, then as when he was looking at the window, he saw an owl sitting above the Lion’s head statue. A bad omen, was this just a coincidence?…Winter has come and there was no sign of Brutus or even a member of the Elite Squadron of Lycans, Dante’s heart was yet broken again for losing his Beta that he had treated as a brother of his own, the only person who stayed loyal to him for ever since he had claimed the throne from Adrianus. Gavino had been watching him for a while no
For a while, Theodore and his people felt safer, now that they have a powerful ally. For so many years, they have been running and hiding from Lycans or Vampires. Now that Rio is around, Dolores won’t have to worry, well at least for now. They both knew that after that incident, the alpha king of Amberwood would retaliate and avenge his fallen warriors.Rio declined Dante’s business proposal after learning who he really was. He also explained to Leonard about the situation he is in right now and Leo cannot help himself but worry about him. Rio has put him in charge of his position in his company temporarily. Aunt Petra had a heart attack when he learns this from Leonard so Rio was forced to leave Deadrei at the ranch to check on Petra.…The cold breeze of winter seems to be adding to Rio’s sadness. He holds Petra’s hand who is now bedridden after the heart attack. Ferdie had already fallen asleep near the fireplace.
Leonard has already calmed down after Deadrei cast a spell. It was just temporary, that is why Deadrei told Rio that Leonard must be ready to accept that he is not the same person as he was anymore.After that night, Leonard woke up and remembered what happened.“So, this is my fate, why is life so unfair to me?” He mumbled to himself.He took a cigarette and lit it outside the balcony. He puffs up the smoke as he meditates.“Man, what am I going to do with my life now? How can I face Mathilda?” He thought to himself.It happened so fast; Leonard was a happy-go-lucky slash womanizer lad until fate cursed him with this Lycanism thing. Although Deadrei has made him calm down that night, there is no way she can remove the curse on him. He has now become one of them.There is a lot going through his mind right now. This had become an eye-opener to him. He needs to learn how to control his inner beast if he w
“My Lord, the old mage does not want to talk,” Calixto tells Dante while holding Theodore who is badly beaten.His left eye had already turned purple from the punch he took from Calixto. He is being questioned about an artifact that could be a tool to resurrect the dead. Maybe they were pertaining to the golden medallion that he had passed on to Deadrei. He cannot tell this to him because he knows that if he does, they will come for her.Deadrei had given the golden medallion to Rio when he was in the state of transition having difficulty with the process.Her husband is hurt so bad and yet all she can do is watch; Dolores felt so helpless. Even the elders cannot do anything for they were separated from their power source. There can only be one way to use magic in this situation, but this was forbidden because it would require your own life as a sacrifice to the dark one. In this situation, no one can be questioned if he or she is makin
What a painful love Dante has for Esmeralda, making him do wild, cruel things. His obsession to revived her has made him acted recklessly for a long time. Nobody can question his actions for he is the Alpha king. Nothing matters more to him than bringing his beloved back to life.There is no right or wrong in Love or War.Calixto told Dante about the identity of Sigma. It was Rioriddle Flavell, the owner, and CEO of Flavell Tobacco Corporation. He also told him about the daughter of Dolores and Theodore. They have both speculated that the artifact is with her.While Dante is still hooked up in chasing the artifact, TOTUS TITUS has spread black propaganda against him. Rumors of him reaching for guidance from the sorcerers were circulating around Amberwood. Some had been saying that Dante has been planning to conspire with the Dark One to achieve immortality. These accusations and speculations of the people have made half of their people think that t
Piles of paperwork in front of Rio’s table.“Yes, please, I would love to…” Leonard is talking to somebody at the other end of the phone.“That would be the last for today, thank Gena.” Rio gives the last contract he signed to his secretary.“Well then? How about we drop by at Triflers for some shots?” Leonard said to Rio who is now preparing to leave the office.“I do not see any problem with that,” he replied to him with a smile.“Now that is my boy, haha.” Leonard taps him at the shoulder as they walk towards the elevator.Rio brought his automated key and his red Mustang responded. They both get inside the car and drove away. Unfortunately, they got caught up in heavy traffic downtown. Suddenly, two police cars and an ambulance passed in the middle of the traffic.“Seems this town have becoming polluted with scumbags.” Leonard in a d
The stench of blood in the air is so strong it leaves Viktor feeling nauseated. He can’t feel his right leg anymore because of the wound he took from that poisoned arrow. “Leave her alone, it is not her fault. I was the one who chose her as my mate,” Viktor seems to become weaker as time passes but he could not bear to see Adrianus lay a hand on his beloved Esmeralda. “Silence you fool, why couldn’t you just pick another mate from your own kind instead of this abomination,” Adrianus is too upset with the two of them and he grabs Esmeralda by her hair and dragged her five yards away from a weakening Viktor. Esmeralda was too weak to transform because of the beating she had taken when she took them in the dungeon. “I’m sorry my love, if I may die today my soul shall find you in the next life,” Viktor told her before he used all the strength left in him to transform. A loud growl from him came out, but Esmeralda knew that the arrow
What a good opportunity, this situation has offered to the Sect of TOTUS TITUS, it happened ahead of their targeted schedule.“Let us see what you got beneath that white fur of yours, Sigma,” He mumbles to himself smiling. But Gavino would not choose to help Rio yet for he knew they need to be sure that he has a chance to defeat the Alpha or else anyone who would try to interfere in the fight and help Rio would be considered a traitor, and if he loses to Dante then their plan would all go to waste.The elders of the sect knew about this too and as always, they stayed still and waited patiently as the tension is becoming intense. These people are always playing safe. They are like hyenas and vultures that would watch the predator as it chases its prey before entering the scene and snatch the kill.This situation is different though. It is not about a predator trying to take on its prey but it is being challenged by another predator
After defeating the Dark one, Amberwood had once felt security. The new Alpha had made his promise to his people by eliminating the threat of Augustus. Not only that he had restored the trust of the people to the throne, but he had given them a Luna, a sign of hope and prosperity. Rio reunited his people under his full authority, there are no more pro and anti-party because he had offered all of them a seat to the round table council of the new Amberwood. “You have done well my brother; you truly are a man of your words,” Dante tells Rio with satisfaction, his hatred towards him was no more. He finally sees that Esmeralda is in good hands now. Dante was thinking of leaving for a long time now and told Rio about his plan. “Where do you want to go no brother? You can stay here if you want.” Rio tries to persuade him in a polite manner, but he knew that Dante had made his decision already and there is no stopping him now. “
Augustus had long waited for this moment, for someone who can end his long-suffering in the abyss.Although he had been expecting this, he was surprised the Pius would be the one to end his life in the body of Rio.Rio had wings that grew in his back and were coated in shining golden armor, with the silver sword in hand, he looks so glorious and mighty.This was the same image Augustus saw when he was as young as Rio. Those days of his youth, having the talent and quality of a protégé’.He had seen Pius before in his dream, he had talked to him and was chosen by him to lead all the fallen servants of the creator to their reconciliation. It was an ambitious plan to him, he was fit for this position but because of the tragedy he suffered at the hands of the first Lycan king, he had moved away on the right path. Seeking more power that he can accumulate in the easiest way just to have his revenge.Little did he know t
Rio and Dante, a silver and a bright white war werewolf, both Alphas, joins forces in front of Augustus the golden enormous werewolf.In lightning speed, the two Alphas started their assault to Augustus. He was looking like a fiery dragon in front of two eagles, a mismatch at its finest.Though they are against all the odds in winning the fight, they do not have any other choice but to act or die where they are standing.Augustus screams at them, “Come at me and I shall rip your bodies to shreds!!!”Rio gave the first blow on the left side of Augustus and the second by Dante at his right. The two of them where shocked when Augustus caught them both mid-air like flies using a chopstick, impossible, the two of them utters as Augustus throws them at each other. They both stumbled in the dark vicinity.Though the scene was vivid, Deadrei can clearly see how Rio and Dante are being handled like toys by Augustus.He reall
Dante uses his sharp claws to hack and slash these creatures that are attacking them. Geovanni helps by using strengthening spell on him. Imagine powerful Lycan having a sorcerer by his side making him indestructible.The two of them are doing great but these creatures seem to not to be diminishing in numbers, if this will continue, they well lose stamina to fight and soon become overwhelmed by them.“We must get to Rio before we end up looking like these hideous creatures,” Dante tells Geovanni as he returns to his human form. He realized the he will just be wasting his time trying to clear this wave.The two of them evades the creatures by moving deeper into the abyss.…Rio continued walking but he suddenly stopped upon noticing the same creatures that have attacked Dante and Geovanni.These creatures started attacking him also. He slashed them with the silver sword. As the blade of the sword slices throug
Primo coughed out blood as Rio fell down unconscious on the floor. The old man had used all his life essence and started to fade into bits of glowing particles. Dante saw fireflies coming out from the broken window and being carried away by the breeze. Dante knelt down to his feet; he was sure that it was Augustus who had processed his brother. He knew that it was possible but did not really expect he would actually do it. Leonard returns to his consciousness and saw Dante with his clothing ripped off, a sign he had just transformed. He could not believe what has just happened to them. That old Incur was unlucky. Leonard followed Dante who had just stood up and went back inside the town hall. Geovanni was left speechless looking at the glowing particles, recognizing Primo’s sacrificing his very soul to cast such a powerful spell. All he could do was say a farewell to his old companion. He also went inside and followed Dante as w
With the sword in hand, Rio’s confidence was boosted. His doubts have vanished from his heart and mind which had haunted him for quite a long time since Deadrei’s abduction.Indeed, it was a good opportunity to take all the matters at hand and end Augustus’s life once and for all.Rio looked at himself in the mirror, convincing himself that he can do it. He picks up the sword and then went on his to the town hall.Leonard was waiting for him outside his door and asked him what took him so long to get out of his room. Rio just shook his head and did not reply to Leonard’s sarcastic remark.The two of them walked side by side on their way to the mansion.Dante was at the entrance of the town hall smoking.He saw the two of them approaching so he throws the almost finished cigarette at the metal bin near the post, he then turned his heel in the direction of the meeting area.Prometheus and the three
The room was filled with silence as Rio entered it. He laid the put the sword on the wall at the left side of the bed.Rio sat at the bed and stared at the sword while his mind was floating.As if his thoughts are flying in somewhere.He can see his own reflection in the shiny part of the holster that hid the sharp blade of the majestic silver sword.He thought to himself that he had been surviving this new life of his in the most unexpected ways.As he was contemplating in his silence, he hears a knock on the door.At first, he ignores it, maybe the person would go away after he care not to open for who might it be.The person was persistent and knocked again for the second time so Rio decide to see, was it. He peeped at the glass hole in the door and saw Patricia standing outside.Rio remembers her, and he felt ashamed of himself about what had happened to them when they got drunk that night.He does not
He uses both his hands and grips properly at the handle of the silver sword.A surge of something electrifying inside him as was felt by him as he exerts force, pulling the sword from where it is stuck.The ground shook and everyone was disturbed by this phenomenon.Leonard was astonished and cannot believe his eyes; Rio seems to be another person. His aura definitely changed as he wields the sword, swaying it from left to right slashing through the air.Though Augustus was smiling at himself, deep inside him crept fear. An icy chilling feeling from his bones.Deadrei felt the power also surging within her, maybe because her wolf is tied to Rio’s that is why he felt that power too. She had noticed herself, glowing like Rio as he was holding the silver sword of Pius.This had definitely turned the tide for them. At least now they stood a chance against the Dark One.…After pulling the sword out, the g
In his dream, Rio saw Deadrei again. She was wearing a white dress that made her even look more gorgeous. Her angelic aura made Rio want to not wake up anymore but Deadrei pushes him away from her. She was smiling at him and uttered to him, “soon my king”.Rio snaps out of his dream and gets awakened by the sound of birds chirping around. He then decided to get out of his tent and stretches his body.He was sure he had a good night's sleep he deserved even it was just for several hours.He went to Leonard’s tent and found no one inside.Rio then decided to look for him and saw him together with Incur, Geovanni, and Primo in front of the campfire. They were having tea already.Leonard calls him out to join them and so he went near them. Leonard then poured tea in an empty cup and gave it to him saying, “special tea for you your highness,” while laughing a little bit.He took the tea and sat with the
