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.
HAYDENTime kept ticking in the background as I stared at the door, waiting for my wife to enter. Sadly, another person knocked and entered the office. I sighed and rolled my eyes before slouching in my chair in disappointment.“Not the person you want to see?” With an amused tone, my beta, June, teasingly greeted me as he entered the office.“Shut the tease, June.” I grumpily responded while pretending to check the papers, although nothing was written on them.“Don’t be like that when June was doing a difficult task for us.” My ears quickly perked up as soon as I heard my wife's cold and disappointed tone. I didn't care about how she sounded there, but I did notice something.“Damn, how come I
ROXANNEWith the imagery opponent taking form before me, I received a fatal hit on the stomach and then on my face, causing me to stumble backward. I groaned since it was a fake image of my mother in battle mode, but it held so much power. It made me realize that she was a powerful opponent if this training was even real.“Again," my mother’s firm voice behind me made me click my tongue, but with determination, I got up and was ready to defeat imagery.“Feel them, Roxanne. Feel your surroundings. The way the energy flows and finds their weakness.” She added an instruction that reminded me of my meditation before.I closed my eyes a bit before opening them and started dodging my opponent's
HAYDENAfter finishing my deeds in the bathroom, I quickly changed my clothing when I heard my wife’s thoughts about the riddles I shared. I peeked at her thoughts but was rained down by a series of images from her dream that overlapped with recent events she had dealt with. I groaned as I almost lost my balance if I didn’t lean over the newly fixed frosted glass door frame.“Damn, her mind was running like a whirlwind.” Despite the pride that I was feeling, I sighed in defeat as I composed myself and let her mind do the thinking since I could not keep up with it just yet.Leaving how busy her mind works, I head back to the bedroom where I saw her preoccupied. Roxanne Morison-Salazar, my wonderful wife, and my unusual vaewolf Luna, n
HAYDEN“Hmm, I’m not certain, but I think they were not mates based on my dreams, especially around that man.” Roxanne agreed as she shared what she felt during her clairvoyant dream that surprisingly she shared with me.“Agreed, since he won’t kill her and eat her heart without feeling anything if they were mates.” With a little laugh, I agreed with her."However, what caused the man to cry like that? What did his wife do for him to become so depressed?" Roxanne snuggled into my arms as she wondered.“And why did you suddenly dream of that man when we’re dealing with some aristocrats?” I may have sounded like I was teasing her, but my intention was serious when I asked, causing her to sigh.“True, do you think he had some kind of connection to th
ROXANNE“So, babe, spill the tea or no food for your hungry stomach,” my wife mocked me about my complaining tummy on the way here, to her office, making me growl.“Honey, I’m not pregnant.” I pouted, making her laugh.“One day you will. So, spill the tea.” She winked at me as she insisted on knowing what Paython and I discussed earlier. I scowled at her before giving up.“Fine, I’ll tell, but give me that muffin, or I’ll cut all of them. You know how good I am at dissecting bodies.” But before I could reveal them, I surely warned Hayden, making her cringe. I mean it. If she refuses to let me eat; I will dissect every sensitive part of her and transform her into Frankenstein.“YAH!” She quickly covered her body, fearing I would do
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
