Vlad was lying down, but not sleeping. Romeo was dreaming about the mutt. Romeo loved that mutt. Vlad couldn't believe it was all happening again. When his beloved son, who he regrets never coming out to, died, Vlad could not accept that two beings of the same sex could love each other. He and his old friend decided that it was best for everyone if one man's daughter married the other's son. Man and woman. He said it was his mate, and they chose not to believe it and deny the real bond. It took more than 200 years for another son who he loved as much as the first to come out as gay. The world almost ended for Vlad, but he accepted it. After all, being gay is not an option, it is something that simply is. He accepted his son and was willing to accept whoever his son chose as a partner… but a mutt? A mutt and a prince again? Were the gods punishing him? He regretted it after a few years and many deaths, but it was too late. The hate was ingrained, and the damage was done. His friend h
Romeo doesn't know if Lorena will be able to contact Julius. This was very risky for the girl, as he didn't even know if the slaves who went out to visit the family were being watched. But she insisted she was willing to take a risk and try. Romeo tells him that Julius is the prince of werewolves, and that he should be a prisoner at home, just like him, but she continues to insist that she will look for him. The royal pack was a long way away, but nothing she couldn't do in 5 days. Nervous, Romeo writes the note that she offered to take. “Julius, my life. I'm dying without you. I don't know how you are or if my father still pressures you. Today was almost the day my father married me to a monster, but the monster proved to be more of a monster than he imagined, and I escaped. I know my father loves me, but it's not his love that I need. It's yours. I sound so ridiculous speaking this way, but there is no other truth that can come out of me. I love you. I miss you, seen you, your to
When Romeo and his personal guard reach the top of the small elevation, Romeo sees his family's mausoleum for the first time. He had never imagined that a mausoleum could be such a beautiful and calm place. It looked like a small house with no windows but a gold-plated door. It was made of a black, shiny stone he didn't recognize. He touched it, and it was cold, smooth and polished like a mirror. - It's obsidian. Some people say that when we stare into an obsidian mirror, we sometimes see what we don't want to see. Sometimes we see our future, other times our past. Romeo looks at the guard. - Do you believe that? - My destined companion believed. He told me he saw that he was going to lose me forever. I never had the courage to look. - Maybe he thought it was his destiny, his hour. I don't know how you can survive without him. – Romeo says, eyes on the stone. - I don't even know. The only thing I know is that he would never forgive me if I let myself die. - How long ago did he
Julius and Shane enter the abandoned dungeon and close the thick barred gate from the inside. The two advance side by side until they reach the area where the cells used to be and look around looking for Lycaon. - You're looking in the wrong way – Lycaon says, making them both jump at the sudden sound. - Goddess, you scare me to death. – Shane says with his hand on his chest. - Pussy. – the older man says, making Julius laugh. – the entrance is this way. Come and memorize the path They enter a tunnel hidden by a rock wall, which obscured the entrance in such a way that anyone who didn't know it existed wouldn't find it. After 10 minutes of walking through a surprisingly wide and tall tunnel, two tall people walked easily side by side, they reached the door that led to the man's room. - the path is easy. Did you memorize it? - Yes. – Shane responds. - When can we leave? – Julius asks. - Calm down prince. It wasn't that long ago that you two separated. I need a few days to try t
- Julius, don't you trust your father? Julius looks at his father and his mind races. “How can I trust someone who hates the person I love the most in the world? How could I tell you that what makes me unhappy is being away from the man I love?” - Dad, of course I trust you. There is simply nothing to tell. The king sighs, lowers his head and looks thoughtful. His son didn't open up to him. When did things change between the two? Julius never had any secrets from him. At a very young age, he faced his father and the kingdom and came out as gay. He didn't even keep this secret from his father. As soon as he felt that this was his destiny, he shared it. What made Julius keep secrets from his father now? What important or serious thing had happened to Julius, that made him keep something to himself that was visibly killing him inside? Julius felt his heart tighten. Lying to his father hurt him, and he hated making his father feel sad, but he couldn't tell him that he had found his m
The sun had barely risen when Delilah got up, took a shower and got dressed to travel. She had just taken a packet of blood from the refrigerator and was enjoying drinking it when Lycaon woke up.- You are old my friend. Yesterday's activities made you sleep too much. – she says, laughing.- What time is it?- The sun has already risen. It must be around 6 hours.- You wake up early.- I have a mission, don't I? I want to get to the palace as quickly as possible, check everything you need to know and return. Will you wait here for me? – she asks seductively. – you still owe me some "somersaults" for the work you give me.He laughs.- Nympho. No, I have to go somewhere else, but I'll be back here soon after, to see what you find out.- Don't tell me you're going to look for that drunk? – she says, rolling her eyes.- Do not be like that. Like us, he turned away from the world because of this damned war.- But he's a drunk.- And you're still in love with him as always. – Lycaon says, l
- Specifically, what did the vision tell you? - Someone very strange. That I was him, and he was me, for me to look for Airon, for him and for me, and that his soul was disappearing without Airon. - My old friend is right. You and Julius must be the reincarnations of Lysander and Airon. The war started for them. Who knows, maybe it will end for you. – She stops thinking, but then returns to paying attention to Romeo – look, I need to know which room you sleep in. - On the second floor of the palace, on the opposite side to this one. - Let's walk there - I need to see what the area you have in view is like. But before that, I need you to be aware of one thing. Don't act differently or appear to be waiting for Julius. I don't know if he'll be able to get there in days, weeks, months or years. Our life is very long. You have to live as you have lived until now, but be aware that, if he can, he will come to see you. We, the adults, will help you. When there is a problem, we will help y
- What are you looking for, aunt? - A way for Julius to get up here. The walls look like they can be climbed. They have ledges, but he's a werewolf, not a climber. Romeo looks at the walls, and doesn't know what to say. - In turn, you have trees not too far apart, but the tops are very low. He will have to think of a solution. - Aunt. Is he really going to risk coming here? If anyone sees him… my brother must have people watching me. He hates me, and does everything to tear me away from my father's heart. She sighs. - I don't know. But you and he are not alone. I am at your side, and I'm not alone. If I know Lycaon well, he will convince Skyler, and that means you have 3 old people on your side. - Why don't you help me escape and go find him first? - Romeo, you can't take a step outside the palace without being followed. At least for a few months, until your father thinks you've forgotten about Julius, there's no chance of you running away. - Months? - Months or years… if you
