ROXANNE
“Henry, what’s up?” I rushed to Henry's side when I saw him holding some medical supplies with Ariel down the hall.
“Oh, you’re here, Luna.” Ariel’s greeting made me smile and nod as I acknowledged her presence with us.
“Ariel, come with us,” I invited, but she shook her head.
“I can’t. June just got back, and medicine wasn’t my forte.” With a polite smile, she declined my invitation, which was understandable. Her mate needed her better than we did.
“Okay, take care.” I nodded and let her take her leave.
“Are you sure about mixing your blood with hers? ” Henry’s curious voice caught my attention as we approached our private patient.
“Honestly, I was
HAYDENHearing my response to what they informed me, they gave me a proud smile and before we could even go further with our conversation, we were being alarmed – rogues.“Want us to help?” With a sly grin, Isabella asked while cracking her knuckles. She wants to break some bones.“If you want to stay for her, it’s our pack’s pleasure.” I shrugged my shoulders as I headed to the door.“I’ll help the watcher. I’ll tell you their coordinates.” I heard Simon’s cold but firm voice as he offered what he could do.“How? You aren’t one of us?” I wondered since he was a vampire.“Don’t worry, I have my ways that'll give you a cue.” He smirked, which was rare to see on a collected vampire like him
HAYDEN“Lady Kathalina Orlok was the king and queen’s trusted noble vampire who has been handling resources and keeping the peace between vampires and werewolves. She’s clever, but being betrayed out of greed and jealousy, Lady Kathalina decided to take what’s offered…” Despite the turmoil burning inside Simon, he continued sharing what he could for us to have an idea of what happened to where Roxanne came from.The more I deeply listened to Simon’s clear but brief story, just like a movie, I began seeing the same scenario of what he was talking about. I know that I don’t have that kind of ability, but when I felt Roxanne’s hand squeezing mine, I knew she was seeing the same thing as me.“Babe, is this one of your abilities to see th
HAYDENBlood. I tasted blood, and I was dying to taste them again. I was no vampire, but the urge to have that warm blood against my hands and splattering over my body, I felt something I had never felt despite being already a ruthless she-alpha of my pack. The only thing that could fill my hunger was their blood—rogue blood.“Where have you been?” I heard my wife’s stern voice stir in my ears, making me sigh as I removed my top clothing after having fun with two captive rogues at the pack’s cell.“Releasing some steam,” I responded without looking at my wife’s stern, cold look staring at my back as I went fully naked in front of her.“And to whom did you release them? Don’t make excuses; I could smell them from your body. Who did you touch
HAYDEN"But here," Roxanne stated, moving behind me and doing an action that I couldn't quite identify."What are you doing?" I questioned inquisitively while my wife was doing something to my back. Since everyone could see what their Luna was doing behind me, I felt ashamed when something wet brushed my spine, and I gasped.“Men, how I wish my wife was like that too.” I heard one of my pack members teasingly comment, making me growl defensively.“There, all done and healed.” She told me with pride.“Did you lick me?” I bluntly asked, making her boldly raise her left eyebrow in response.“Stupid. Why would I lick you out here and in front of them? I'm happy that I just healed your wound.” She grinned p
ROXANNE“C-can w-we just t-talk about it c-calmly?” My adorable wife stuttered, stirring something I had never felt before.Not liking what she had done, I know she had no choice but to distance herself from feeling the rage that I could not easily release. I don’t release my emotions easily until I am burning in flame; however, putting up walls despite knowing how cranky I could be was a wrong move. I kept my cool, but snapping at me was the last straw of my consideration.“No, honey, my emotions were in overdrive. I’m cranky, and maybe you can help out. So, stay still beneath me, and let me punish you.” With a heated desire, I seductively whispered as I watched her succumb to me. I like this reaction, which fueled the rush in my ve
HAYDENTrouble. I was in very deep trouble. I clicked my tongue as I ran as fast as I could while looking for a nice place to take a break from sprinting. I looked up before climbing a tree, and when I looked around the area, I sighed in relief since I did not find her anywhere. But when I was about to rest, I suddenly shivered down my spine. I gulped, and in anticipation, I jumped down from the tree and hurried.“I need to get away from her as much as I can.” I groaned as I kept sprinting, as I did not care if my men greeted me. I know it's inappropriate, but I needed to save my life from her—my wife.But despite being miles away from where I passed, I could hear them, and I didn’t appreciate what my men just gave to her.
ROXANNEShock. Confusion. Disbelief. Those were the reactions I felt when Hayden amusingly shared what I had shown when we were trained together a few hours ago.“No, I don’t believe you. I’m nothing like that…am I?” With a disbelief tone, I responded to Hayden's amusement. I could not easily believe how badly I could turn into something in the middle of a fight.“Well, babe, believe me, you can be a ruthless vaewolf if you want to. But how come you haven’t noticed that?” Hayden slightly chuckled, but her curious question caught me sighing.“I don’t know either. All I thought of was facing you head-on, and then the next thing I felt was the rush of blood in me, and I just moved according to the situation. An adrenaline rush, I guess.” With a shrug, I told her what I felt during
Deep in the night, I was having a nice nap beside my wife when I sensed something familiar lurking around the pack's perimeter. It was not threatening, but it gave me an eerie vibe I could not ignore. I carefully got up from the bed and left a lingering kiss on Roxanne's temple before slipping through our bedroom's window, but before I could jump off, I sensed a stare coming from my wife.
Somewhere in the past, where once Roxanne had dreamed before, there was somebody—a woman walking back and forth restlessly. This young woman was a doctor and was restless as she waited for her supernatural friends to arrive at their meeting place just around the border between the city and the woods. Kathy Morison kept checking her wristwatch when a vampire man, Simon, popped behind her, followed by a werewolf woman, Isabella, carrying a young body.‘Jesus. Don’t pop like that.’‘Sorry, but we’ve got her.’‘Oh finally.’Isabella, who had been carrying the young girl, was handed into the doctor’s arms. She smiled with recognition as she took notice of the young girl's resemblance to her best friend, the young girl's b
EpilogueHAYDEN“Well, Roxanne came from the strongest bloodline, both werewolf and vampire, while, you were blessed with a fallen spirit wolf, which is unpredictable since they were spirits. So, if I base it on my previous job in the council, their situation will be considered, but for safety, you still need to be careful as they were born different from any of our kind.” Ralphie gave us a direct and honest answer before adding his advice. “Keep watching them and make a journal of their growing journey as well as their appetite. It will help you in case the councils or nobles go after them.”“Thanks, Uncle. We appreciated it.” Roxanne thanked her uncle when Avery went to her side, making her pick our cute little troublemaker.“No worries, they’re my blood too, and I will protect them at all costs.” Ralphie smiled with as
HAYDENIt has been an hour or maybe even more ever since my wife has been taken inside the operating room to deliver our triplets. I was agitated, and my body trembled in worry, making my mother and grandmother sit beside me. Their presence was enough to calm me, but the negative racing thoughts were still bothering me until here it went. We all heard it. I heard it; I even felt it. The sound of my wife’s scream made the entire land crumble as if the earth was opening. I feel her pain passing throughout my entire body like I was giving birth too, but honestly, there was something different here. I could feel blood and life leaving me, making me sit on the ground, and my surroundings started to spin.“Hayden, breathe.” I heard Yuna’s soothing voice while my mother gently patted my back.
HAYDENUnwanted ruckus erupted throughout the woods and partly around town, but everything was bearable until my agitation began stirring again. Then Roxanne’s annoyed and disgusted voice echoed around my ears.‘Honey, feel me. He got me.’As I heard those words, I knew for sure what happened. I feel her, and I am fuming as I dash to where she is. Like lightning, I arrived on time, but my wife was losing consciousness, and I had to be careful since they were already near her.“Not for long, asshole.” Roxanne weakly whispered, and then she passed out, and everything in my surroundings turned dark and bloody.
ROXANNEAs everything is plotted and ready in place, here they come—rogues and nomads. It was the brewing storm that my wife had been sensing ever since I was crowned two nights ago and what fear Hayden was for my safety, but not now. I didn’t need it as they ran like wild animals despite being in human form and neglected my wife’s warning veil that added to the pack’s defense.“Come close.” I sinisterly whispered as I activated the first layer of my wrath.The first layer was threatening malice that brought their fury to the surface, which I enjoyed. They began to take on their true form, but the malice was not simply causing their rage. It was gradually trapping them in their dreams. Although some managed to flee and run through th
HAYDENThe power that the Moon had given to me has been flowing smoothly around my body as I decided to release my decagram star. I let it steam up to the sky, which overlapped my wife’s rose thorn barrier that she put to the entire pack’s perimeter. It served as protection and warning for all of us, and with my added powers, I made sure to scare all of the threatening creatures trying to ruin our pack’s peace.“Veil by veil, layer by layer, secures and cloaks the entire land with unyielding protection,” I softly whispered as I released my powers in layers.By layering my powers throughout the entire perimeter, I felt the sudden stir tingling my arms, which indicated the kills that my layering powers could do. It began killing some r
HAYDENI don’t feel good. Something was about to come, and I could feel it in my bones. Feeling uneasy like this, I made sure that everything around the pack and the town was fully secured, but I could not shake the fact that something would come. I can’t just figure out what it could be, but I can’t sit tight and not be ready over these unshaken feelings nudging my chest.“Honey, are you alright?” Roxanne worriedly wondered as she saw me standing still in my office, looking afar.“Yeah, just worried.” I smiled as I pulled her into my arms and kissed her temple.“About?” She wondered.“Something bad might occur.” With a deep sigh, I replied what troubles me, making her cup my face.
HAYDEN“I know, but we can’t hide this field from everyone, and the more your uncle strictly forbids them, the more they’ll get suspicious and might steal them, which could lead to worse than minimizing it.” I shared with them my input regarding the field of mystical roses in public and added how the riddle would be written. “Write a riddle as a warning and an answer. Only a chosen few would be able to understand it, and the decision will be in their hands, not ours.”“If we do that, we need to have precautionary measures for what ifs,” Sonia carefully added, which I agreed with.“Sonia, collaborate on this issue with Uncle Ralphie, and if you two come to any decision, let us know; we’ll make a decision with the rest of the royal family,” Roxanne firmly told Sonia, who had been noting down our suggestions and ideas for the town’s updates
HAYDENAlone in the peaceful cabin’s oasis, I wasn’t disturbed or allowed to meet anyone from the pack as the royal family punished me in isolation. I was lucky enough to be punished within our pack’s territory after they learned what I did to the three exiled nobles that caused Sonny’s fall. My punishment was not just isolation but also to channel my blood wolf’s energy. However, the great punishment they laid on me was not being at the side of my pregnant wife unless I finished a month of cultivation.“What a punishment…” I mumbled with a longing sigh. I missed my wife so much, but there was nothing I could do but cultivate.My breathing was stable, and I could feel the heat from my energy begin to radiate around me. It was releasi
