Vlad orders the car to be prepared to go to the communications center. This surprises the secretary, as Vlad never wanted to speak to his son again. He was even more surprised when Vlad left through the palace door accompanied by the queen of the werewolves.But he knew very well that he shouldn't question his king, so he opened the car door for them to get in; he closed the door and ran back to his office to contact the blood collectors' organizers.- How is the gathering going? Time is passing too quickly.“Sir, what you asked is not easy. We have managed to collect 935 bags from Europe's nests so far. Much of it came from the nests' storage, and another part came from the blood donation vans, from questionable neighborhoods and paying an average of 50 euros per donation to the humans.”- How much is that in dollars?“Just over 54 dollars, sir. Per person."- Don't worry about the investment. Collect as much as you can in the next 24 hours. The blood must reach the counselors' chamb
Sterling's head felt like it wasn't working. When he heard Aurelius, he looked at him, picked him up quickly, and ran to the hospital pack.When he walks through the door, everyone present looks at him, but he looks around in panic at every scream from the man he loves.One of the nurses at the reception shouts for a stretcher, and within seconds, Aurelius is lying down and being pushed into the delivery room.- Don't leave me alone. You are to blame for all of this. – shouts between moans and screams of pain Aurelius to his lover.The news spreads quickly, and before Sterling can even move, Valkyrie bursts through the door at supersonic speed.- Don't just stand there; go after him.Sterling was disoriented. He looks at his mate's mother, then runs after the stretcher that had just passed through the doors at the end of the hallway.A nurse stands in front of him.- Did dad come to attend the birth?Sterling nods and swallows hard.The screams coming from the room left him completely
Reed hugs his aunt, saying goodbye to her. Although her conversation with Aethelwulf had been in vain, he now knew that they were both alive and well. The queen gets into the car, followed by Vlad, but before the car leaves, the queen asks: - Reed, tell me, son, why are you still here? Why don't you go home? - Because this is where I have to be, my aunt. - If you fear being attacked outside the neutral zone, you have my word that I will not send anyone after you. You're nothing more than an insignificant werewolf; I won't waste time and resources on you. – Vlad says in a monotone. Reed chuckled. - I fear nothing that comes from you, King Vlad, even though I'm linked to the death of your heir. The Moon Goddess is with me; it is not my destiny to die at your hands. Vlad huffs and orders the driver to return to the palace. Reed watches the car leave, and when he feels someone approaching him from behind, he turns and looks at the vampire. - Can I ask you a question? – the young t
Aethelwulf thought he was seeing a new ghost. He gets up and recoils, but Lycaon raises his hands and says: - Is this how you welcome someone who is your oldest ancestor, and there isn't even a word to describe our relationship? - Who are you? - I'm Lycaon King, but I think you guys got used to calling me the old king of the basement. - Are you Lycaon King? But you're so young. - Yes, I actually look much younger than you expect. I don't know how the witches saved me, but whatever they used did good to my skin. - Why don't you come out of the light? It's making me dizzy - Aethelwulf says, to see if he was someone from the kingdom of the living. - Don't be afraid. I'm alive, but I can't cross the portal because I won't be able to go back, and I still don't know if I want to leave here. - So what brings you here? - The king asks in a brave move. - You know, king, I made a strange request to the witch who saved my life. I asked to see what was happening here in the kingdom. I've
Romeo didn't want to get out of bed or eat. He was uncomfortable and picky, but Julius didn't complain. Rubbing his back to calm the pain, Julius didn't leave Romeo's side. - Go down sters and eat. You don't have to go hungry just because I don't want to eat. What I wanted was sex, but I can't have it. Julius laughs. - We've been without sex for such a short time, and you're already in that state? As you were a virgin when I met you, I will be filled with pride. - Goofy. Of course, I like having sex with you. I've never been with anyone else, and before you complain, I don't want to be either. What you do greatly satisfies me, but it has nothing to do with you. It has to do with desire. I'm weird and horny. Romeo lies down, pressing his chest to Romeo's back and putting his arm around his lover's waist, caressing his belly, while he begins to sing softly. - "I wanna drive down to Texas, flip off my exes, Get kind of reckless, and have wild, wild, wild sex under the moon, But on
Aethelwulf makes a decision. He calls the general and informs him that the next day, they will leave for Vlad's palace to bring the queen home. The general felt his heart sink, but he knew that sooner or later, it would happen. He brings together his second-in-command and delivers the news everyone has been waiting for. - I still hoped that none of this would happen. I know it may seem like treason towards our king, but it is difficult for me to take the young people I have under my command to their deaths. I know that at the beginning of the war, the situation was very intense, but for as long as I can remember, in the years I have been alive, except for what happened a few months ago, no army has gone out to face the vampires. There were many skirmishes, some dead on both sides, but that only had to do with individual clashes and being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Practically, after the start of the war, you can count on your fingers those who died on both sides. The last
The king's men were all gathered in front of the packhouse, waiting for their king, who was slightly upset about putting the beta in command as he led his army.The warriors' expressions left no doubt about the sorrow in their hearts, but if there was any doubt, the cries and moans of their families demystified them.The general and his second in command stood in front of the door, waiting for their king, and the remaining commanders stood in front of each squad.The king leaves the packhouse door with decisive and sure steps. There is no doubt on his face what he is going to do, but his heart is restless.He goes down the stairs, and just as he is about to open his mouth to say some words of encouragement before heading off to battle, a black car enters the courtyard at great speed, frightening the warriors who are closest to the path.No one doubted that only someone linked to the pack or an ally could be in the car. The car had crossed the border and had not been stopped by the gua
- Yes, I was the only one who regretted what we did. I punished myself by letting my regrets consume all my life force until my body began to age. Even so, I died of old age because the moon Goddess punished me with life until there was no more life to live. Now you, my old friend, you didn't regret it. You continue to spout venom for something that happened because of us. If we had accepted that Airon and Lysander were mates, even Orpheus would probably be an excellent future king. I wouldn't need more pups, and Julius and maybe even Romeo would not exist today. Their existence was our fault, too. Don't you regret it, Vlad? Don't you regret letting me die alone without my friend by my side?Vlad was horrified. The words Cerebrus' soul spoke to him hit him like wooden bullets, but he couldn't talk. Vlad recoiled at each clack, clack, clack the cane made on the floor as Cerebrus advanced toward him.When Vlad's back hits the wall, he falls to the floor and curls up into a ball, hiding
40 years later, Richard, the king of the werewolves, and Blessed, his mate and queen, enter, hand in hand, the grand palace that the three species built together. It was a magical and beautiful place, built by the hands of werewolves and vampires and hidden from the world by the magic of white witches. Wonderful flowers and trees that seemed to come out of fairy tales beautified the entire exterior. Witches, vampires, and werewolves made up all the members of the new kingdom. Still, the number of hybrids that existed there had never before existed in the same space, even before the war that separated them in the past. Two big werewolves who were copies of each other followed behind the king: the beta twins, sons of Shane and Lorena. Julius and Romeo, who reigned the werewolves' throne for years after transferring the royal pack and the kingdom to their eldest son, moved to the vampire palace, where they now reign after Vlad's retirement. They were already in the palace and got u
Two months after the peace treaty was signed, Julius and Romeo sat in Baltazar's living room with all their friends. They would leave that same day. First, they would visit Vlad in his palace, which terrified Romeo a little because the damned vision he experienced twice was still engraved with a hot iron on his chest. They would then travel to the royal pack, where they would live. Aethelwulf and Elena begged too many times for them go camo home, and they complied, despite doubts about what the other members would think. One thing that rested Julius was that his father had dedicated days to looking for his old general and everyone who accompanied him. He found them weakened and living like rogues in an isolated, sparsely fertile area. Aethelwulf surprised everyone when he humbly asked the general for forgiveness and repeated it with everyone who followed the general. The general and his companions agreed to return to the pack and settled well in their old homes. The general had
- Good afternoon. To what do I owe the honor of your visit? – Aethelwulf says without losing focus on all the men.One of the newcomers removes his helmet, with his back to the king but facing his passenger. Aethelwulf sees him helping the other guy, and when the man turns around, Aethelwulf falls to his knees.Julius was in front of him with a child in his arms. After Romeo removed his helmet, he returned the pup to Romeo. The remaining bikers took off their helmets and remained silent.Elena runs and throws herself into her son's arms in tears. Vlad didn't move for fear it was a new mirage. In the end, Reed was there.The beta and his mate, who is back in the royal pack with the twins, run toward Shane and throw themselves at him, causing him to guffaw at the impact.An irritated cough is heard, and Shane leaves his parents to pick up the twins so Lorena can get out of the sidecar.- Mom and Dad, this is Lorena, my mate, and Peter and Paul, our pups.Mere seconds were all it took fo
Skyler's wolf constantly screamed in his head, but the now-called Sky ignored it or didn't even hear it.Since entering the mist, Skyler had barely left the bed where the fairy queen kept fucking him at every opportunity.Skyler looked happy, but his wolf knew he was simply under the influence of fairy magic.He didn't know how much time had passed, and he didn't even realize that he hadn't just fucked the queen but that a large number of fairies had already used him, and another large number were waiting their turn.The fairies got pregnant from the fuck he gave, and their little bodies gestated so quickly that some of their daughters were already born.In a few days, all the fairies would have spawned new fairies thanks to him, and when they no longer needed him, they planned to do to him what they had done to all those before him.Despite owing her life to Skyler, fairies were not what the childhood tales of humans said they were. They were selfish and cruel beings who only thought
The guard smiles and sneaks out, leaving the two alone.- I, I what? I asked you a question. What did you say?Vlad smiles. Yes, he was annoying, shy, sensitive, and cute as hell brat, but he had a fire in his heart and blood.Vlad approaches Rafa until he is almost glued to him. Rafa shudders when Vlad reaches out but is disappointed when he grabs the trolley handle and drags it back to Rafa's room. - What are you doing? Please give me that. I'm leaving. Give me that.The guards behind Rafa move away when one pushes the other to get out of there.Vlad opens the bedroom door without ever looking back and enters the room. Always making a fuss, Rafa angrily enters behind him and throws his backpack on the floor.- Crap. Because you're king, you can't force me to stay.Vlad turns and passes Rafa. When he thinks he will leave without answering, Vlad closes the door and turns to the boy.- You asked what I said, so you must let me answer.Rafa blushes again but huffs and sits on the bed w
When Vlad enters the palace, the first thing he does is ignore the secretary, who “hovers” over him excitedly, wanting to know the next step. - Where is Rafa? - Who? – the confused secretary asks. - Idiot. – he says, making the secretary flinch. – Rafa, the boy who was in my room. - Oh, sir, I'm sorry. I'm very excited about the news and wanted to know if it's true and what I can do. - Yes, that's true, but where is Rafa? The secretary frowns and smiles inwardly. It's really true. Vlad is in love, and that makes the secretary happy. Nothing is better than a happy and passionate king to make his life go well. - I didn't see him, sir. It's probably in his room. The king turns his back and heads towards the back of the palace. As he is about to pass the door that separates the royal part from the servant part of the palace, he hears: - I'm glad he returned before the king noticed he was missing. You two are incompetent. How did you let him get away? If the king knows, you are no
When the first rays of sunlight come through the window and hit Julius and Romeo's faces, they open their eyes. Looking around and at each other, they didn't realize where they were or how they had gotten there.- Julius, oh Julius. - Romeo says, clinging to his lover.- Goddess, Romeu. My love. I was so afraid I would never see you again. - Where are we? – Romeo asks. - It looks like our bedroom in Baltazar's pack. - But it can't be. Us… - I don't understand either.They look at each other and smile.- No matter where we are. We are together.They cried and hugged each other. - I know no one could keep us apart. Not even our gods.They kiss, and it is the most beautiful kiss they share, They get up and go to the window. - It looks like Baltazar's pack. What's happening? Did I dream it all? – Julius asks. – I was trying to stop our parents’ fight. I killed myself in front of them. You were there. - Yes, and I killed myself too. I drank the vervain. - Yet we are here. Alive
When Rafa arrived, all hell had already broken loose. He looked at the man from behind a tree without anyone seeing him. He wanted to run to Vlad and get him out of there, but strangely, his body was paralyzed. His tears fell uncontrollably, seeing everything that was happening in front of him.Powerless, he saw everything without being able to do anything.Minutes passed without anyone daring to move.The guards and warriors faced each other, expecting that the kings would attack again or order them to fight at any moment, but nothing happened.Aethelwulf crawls until he can touch Julius's body. Then, like he did when Julius was a little pup, he cradles him in his lap.Vlad looks at him.Neither seemed to want to face each other again, but the fight was not guaranteed to be over. Neither one nor the other expected that outcome.In their minds, they would face each other, one of them would win, and in the heartbreak of losing his dad, the lovers would return home.They must have kno
- Tell me, did he go after Vlad?- Elena, he only took 20 men. It's not precisely the exact number for a battle.Elena holds out her hand with one of her embroidery pieces, she finished some time ago.- Look at this.Without fully understanding what she wants, he takes the cloth and looks at the drawing.- Beautiful, like all your embroidery.- Don't be an idiot. I know embroidery is not your cup of tea. Please look at the drawing and tell me what you think it is.The beta does what she says. He opens the cloth and looks carefully at the drawing. It was magnificent; it looked like a perfect painting. On the fabric, a figure lies down, probably dead, while two men throw themselves at each other in a bloody fight.The beta tilts his head, looking at the details, and turns white as plaster.He looks at Elena, then at the cloth, and without strength, he falls to his knees.Worried, Elena kneels in front of him.- I always knew you were special, Elena, my Luna, my queen. Your embroidery ha
