She had been in the sack for about an hour now and she did not know where she was going, but one thing for sure it must be the same people that kidnapped the last. “Ugh… my siren powers are not working,” “They will not work,” one of the fairies she was kidnapped with said, making Ophelia snicker with anger, if they had just welcomed the peacefully, she wouldn’t be in this position. “Why wouldn’t it work?” she looks at the five fairies kidnapped with her, Avisa might melt with the cuteness if she were here. “I don’t know but the particle they use for these things cancels our power out though Princess Adelina got out of it once.” The fairy replied, “what is your name?” “Ophelia, what about yours?” “I am Odette, the blue haired fairy replied, “that is Becca, Fanatic, Boney and the shy one is Eely.” Odette says moving closer to Ophelia, “you are not working for the second prince?” “No, we just came to land, and we got lost,” Ophelia says, “why does the second prince kidnap fairies
[Avisa POV] It took a while to get to the mansion that I was supposed to go to, quite a creepy place, it was a tall standing mansion and for some reason was covered with weeds, like they are royalty don’t they have people to clean for them. I had sneaked around looking for the jerk that is my mate, I was overwhelmed with a very strong scent, a scent too intoxicating to ignore. I had followed the scent, to an office-like room, and a small peek and finally found the source of the scent, a certain jerk. I barged in the office at once, “you what did you do to Lia” I said holding him by the collars of his suit. He had widened his eyes with shock before sighing, the other vampire wanted to attack me but the royal pain stopped him. “What brings you here little sire?” he asked so condescendingly. “Cut the crap, you kidnapped my friend in the enchanted forest along with some fairies, where did you take her?” I ask, the scent seems to be too strong with the distance between us. “Ma’am c
The moment I feel his teeth hit my neck I no longer feel any fear, instead I am overwhelmed with the urge to have this man, this man can complete me. [Meanwhile – third person POV] Holden had made his way to Dylan, the warlock that his majesty trusted. “Dylan, his majesty needs you,” Holden says. “What is going on Holden? Speak calmly,” Dylan says, he had been the royal family’s warlock for over five decades and he is the proof why they say people get wiser with age. “Well, his majesty’s mate came, and his majesty just started being all possessive and shouting at me for getting close to her,” Dylan had never looked so shocked, “oh, where are they now?” “I left them in his majesty’s office,” just then Dylan flies out his seat, “you shouldn’t have left them alone.” “What? Is his majesty going to kill her?” “No, he wants to consummate the bond, and if he wished to reject her like he said previously it will not work once he consummate the bond.” ‘Consummate the bond? Why is he s
“Your majesty who is this girl?” Anne asked.“Oh… is this your little pet?” Avisa asked, “though I think you are a shitty vampire, but you could do so much better or is it you don’t date for looks.”“Anne what makes you think you can demand answers from me like that? Who are you to even warrant that.” Dean asked angrily.“Oh… so it is unrequited love, sorry sweetheart you could do so much better, I am sure there are better vampire out there.”“You said I could do better a few seconds ago,” Dean looked at Avisa confused.“Well, I thought she wanted a fight so I wanted to knock her self-esteem a bit, like everyone could do so much better from you, you are the bottom barrel.” Avisa says making Dean groan.“Your majesty? Does she have the right to call you by your name?”“She is my mate, Anne; she can call me whatever she likes.”“Even nasty bloodsucker?” Avisa says, turning a serious thing into a joke yet again.“Can you not, I thought you were worried about your friend,”‘Well, I am, bu
The four had started following the string to where Ophelia might have been detained.“Can you increase your speed?” Dean grumbles.“This is not underwatered you fool; I cannot speed up like you bloodsuckers,” Avisa replied annoyed.“So, what is the two of You's relationship?” Arnoux asked, “by the way I am Arnoux.”“Little Dean has already introduced you; you are not a vampire, are you?” Avisa says, Arnoux had blurted laughing to the unique nickname his friend was called.“Little Dean did huh? Anyway, I am a wolf not a vampire.” Arnoux says, “you are siren? Cool never seen one up-close apart from her majesty.”Avisa’s mood complete changes from this, she just snorts before saying, “is that so?”“I heard she was the strongest warrior of the sea, how true was that?” Arnoux asked.“Strongest warrior my *ss, if she was the strongest as they were why would she die to a mere vampire? Just a load of bull.” Avisa says Holden had frozen with fear before looking at angry Dean.“Do not talk abou
[Ophelia POV] I had been in been incarcerated for about few hours now, they gave us some disgusting food once. “Ugh….” I groaned, I had reached for my ear to get my earrings, since they don’t seem to care for our accessories, big mistake because I can contact allies through them. Maybe if I send a location to Avisa she will come and rescue me, rather a bad idea, knowing Avisa is not a discreet person she would barge in without knowing anything about this base. “What are you doing?” Odette asked. “Trying to call for help,” I say, rubbing the communication pearl hidden inside my earring. But I do not establish communication because that stupid warlock takes it away. “Wow, excellent idea siren, but that goes against our master so I will confiscate this.” He says looming over the cage, he had this devilish smirk on his face, and man it was ugly, like Avisa would have teased him if she saw it. “His majesty will drink your blood and surpass that stupid Dean in being the strongest v
[Ophelia POV] He procced to reach for me to take me out of that box angrily, the other men had started coming on stage to attack him. The audience was now in chaos, running away. “Arnoux are you out of your mind?” I hear a familiar voice, “be gentle, Lia is not one of your wolf friends.” “Visa!” I say happily, running to hug her, “you have come to save me.” Avisa smiles at me sweetly, of course she did I was her favorite siren, she would do anything for me. The angry face is now approaching to attack, but Avisa’s mate who happens to not be our ally comes out and he halts. “I am pretty sure I told you two to be careful and discreet,” he roars angrily, or seems anger runs in the family huh. “Oh… that prince is you mate right?” I whisper to Visa who nods, “unfortunately.” “Where are the fairies?” Avisa asks. “Oh brother, what brings you here?” Jason shouts at the new angry face, “I am pretty sure you know what will happen if you poke your nose at my business.” “I wonder what f
[Third person POV] “What are you two talking about?” Jordan asks. Though he only heard fragments of the conversation he still felt like the two were up to no good. “Oh…nothing, love, just another fight between Dean and Jason,” she said, but Jordan’s face didn’t change he didn’t react with anger like he usually does when he hears about the two boys fighting. “Jason, I told you not to provoke Dean anymore,” he scolded, “he is going to be your king and you should learn to respect him.” Penelope was fuming red with this statement; she hated how Jordan seem to not be willing to even consider Jason as a candidate for the throne. “You tell me that every time father,” Jason says with a low tone, “it is always Dean’s throne, right?” “I think I told your mother a long time ago, that the heir was already fixed with Dean,” Jordan says, “it is never about playing favorites like your mother seem to play favoring you over the son she promised a dying woman to protect.” “Oh, come on Jordan it
[Avisa’s POV]Shock. I cannot make out what Dean was thinking, but I could feel the anger he felt.This stupid mate bond, I had felt the hate he felt when Anne hugged him, his anxiety when I left the room.He always acted like he had no emotions, but this man had so many emotions.Emotions I myself was having trouble handling.“What did you say?” he growled, “what did Penelope do to my mother?”Anne was filled with shock, “I…. I…… I was just trying to get a rise out of her.”“Don’t lie to me Anne, what did the queen do to my mother?” This mates sharing emotions thing doesn’t sit well with me.“I…... I…...”I rolled my eyes at her sorry state, she must be lying to make me angry, but still, she could be telling the truth.“What happened to the previous queen?” I whispered my compelling words, one of the best features of being a siren.Vampires couldn’t compel other vampires and mates could compel mates, but sirens could compel anyone with their voices.She started blabbing about how the
[Dean’s POV]A war? This time? What is that evil witch thinking?“Okay Aloe, breathe have some water,” Avisa is busy calming the elf girl down.Wars are not foreign to shapeshifters; we have had our fair share of wars.But it was said that wars were banned after the end of the blood war, the Goddess had restored peace to all shapeshifters.Every shapeshifter has been given their own place where they need not cross over to the other territory, thus preventing wars.“What do you mean they want to start a war? There is no species that has angered vampires since every shapeshifter is in their designated area.”“Don’t yell at her,” my sweet mate growls. I am never going to get used to her being this casual with me.But was this casual? I still did kill her mother and she hasn’t even asked me about it.How? Everyone knew her mother was the most powerful being in all the oceans. Why? She doesn’t think I am a cold-blooded killer, does she?“Well, the queen said they want power, and to get pow
[Avisa’s POV]Was this some sort of joke? What did I just do? Why did I even do that?My father’s back was now against me, he was getting ready to leave the room.He wants to kill him. I know my father hates this union so much he would kill my mate here.And I am supposed to hate him, I do hate him, I hate this man.“Are you okay,” Dean’s voice rings, his grey eyes shining with nothing but sincerity.“You killed my mother, and now I am stuck with you for life. How do you think I feel?”“I asked you Avisa!” he yells, “ I asked you if you were serious about us bonding and you said yes.”His voice now gentle and delicate, “I…… what did you want me to do, Dean? You are my mate.”He looks at me both angry and confused, “the same thing we agreed to do.”“Wow, so you wanted to reject me so you can go mate with that Anne chick?”The way I pounced on him probably confirmed what my father has always talked about.Greed, I was a greedy woman, “you are mine Dean Stoker, you hear me,” I growled at
[Third person POV]The waves roared and the seas cried. It was unheard of. In all their lives, this was an abomination.“What? The princess is mated to the man who killed her father?”“That unruly princess! Surely, she is no longer fit to be heir.”Elder sirens complained when the news that the princess had found her mate, may rejoiced.The man or woman was supposed to keep her grounded, keep her from her rebellious ways.But it seems the kingdom was doomed from the moment she was born.“Aran is still going to be king; he is strong and very mature.”“You think the king will allow that? That man who can’t see his daughter is nothing but a bad pimple to this kingdom.”“She should stay with the vampires; she clearly fits the criteria.”But if the princess is not to take the throne, who will? Many didn’t trust Aran was strong enough after the humiliation he suffered recently.They had never had a weak ruler, even the previous empresses were strong, and the current king, who was the first
[Third person POV]Metropolis, a city with dreams and secrets, a city burying a lot of history, history that has suddenly started glowing as a new historical event is about to happen.“Princess Adelina, the roots of the dead tree are glowing,” a distraught cry enlightens the enchanted forest.For the first time in a thousand years, the tree that was deemed dead after the blood war has awakened.“What? Why? What is the Goddess thinking?” all the elderly mythical shapeshifters of the enchanted forest grumble.“What is going on? Why did the dead tree glow?” the fairy princess asks.“It is to prepare for blood shed,” one of the elders said, “it also prepares for the death of a kingdom.”The princess is both bewildered and terrified, though shapeshifters in the enchanted forest are more mythical creatures than they are shapeshifters, and they rarely go to wars and their kingdom is never challenged.It was worrisome, because though it was brief, she befriended Avisa, who went on to rescue h
[Third person POV] Dylan rushes to the king’s office, today seems to be gearing up to be a bit more chaotic than usual. “Your Majesty, a word,” Dylan says. “We are busy here mage, you will have a word with him later,” Kyrtos interjected. “But your majesties, this concerns both of your kingdoms,” Dylan says. “What is it, Dylan?” “Well, the prince and princess have mated,” the sudden silence that hits, it is clearly the calm before a storm. Kyrtos could feel his blood boil, this is not how he thought this would go. He knew his daughter was one to hold grudges, she would have killed Dean the moment he gotten close to her. “How?” he asks in disbelief, “how is that possible, they were busy fighting just now.” “I am not sure how myself because they had told me they would reject each other during the blood moon,” Dylan says, he is trying to act shocked. But if he is being honest, he is not surprised they bonded, he is just surprised they took that long to do so. When the Goddess pa
[Third person POV]A mate is one of the most important things in the shapeshifter world, those who never met their mates go on to wander the world with lost souls as their mates are supposed to complete them.Those who meet their mates are lucky, especially if they are of a different race, because after the blood war, many shapeshifters went into hiding refusing to meet their mates and wandering lost in the world.When two mates meet, and agree on mating, the two would mark each other before being intimate.“Avisa!” Dean moaned, trying his best to restrain himself.This is not what she wants, he knows very well this isn’t what she wants, he cannot bond with her, it would be unfair to do so.But Avisa’s manner of testing his self-control and patience seemed to be working overtime this instant.The way she moaned his name like it was the only thing she knew, “you don’t want this,” he whispers to
[Dean’s POV] Fate sure was funny, the way her voiced cracked as she asks me, the way her prideful face falls in sadness when I confirm I had indeed killed her mother. I now understand why she hated it when I spoke of the queen, I didn’t even protect myself when she attacked me. “Fight back!” she screams, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, her whole body had adorned in beautiful blues scales, scales I used to hate when they were attached to me. Her sharp fingernails cutting into my flesh effortlessly, but it didn’t hurt, it didn’t hurt because I had already experienced the most hurtful thing when I found out my soulmate was deprived of a wonderful mother because of me. “Fight back! You are the all-powerful vampire prince, fight back,” she screams, everyone had stopped to look, no one wanted to intervene, rightfully so this is between me and my mate. “I don’t have the right to,” I calmly say making her angrier, releasing and even a greater wrath unto my skin, she had continued
[Third POV]Kyrtos Photim felt uneasy, the Crescent annual ball, where everything went wrong, if it weren’t for the ball his soul would still be intact and he would have still been the strongest of all seas.He still is the strongest, after his daughter, well soon, he knows she is going to be the strongest siren in the world, he just hopes her attitude dies down before she is to ascend the throne.“Your Majesty, should I send a letter to let know the Crescent alpha that we will not be attending?” Naiad chimes, “or should I send the duke’s family instead, it would be nice for Aran to know his fellow heirs.”“Naiad it has already been established that Avisa is my only heir,” Kyrtos firmly says, “and no, I will be attending this year, hopefully I will be able to go meet Avisa’s new friends after the ball.”“Hmph,” Naiad hated it, she hated how the king was so unaware of his daughter’s lack of leadership skills.“Of course, your majesty, I will get the vessel ready, and we will travel to
