“IT’S decided then. The remaining twenty-five contenders would join this mission. This will be considered the third round of the competition. Their wits and skills will be tested inside the kingdom of the vampires,” Minister Apollo declared after I signed the papers which will be distributed to all the contenders within the day.

I leaned on the chair. Blade and I had been very busy after the second elimination round. We had no time to further discuss what he just confessed to me. Both of us had to attend different meetings. Me with the council and Blade with his warriors.

But I could still remember the look in his eyes after telling me about Randall De Vera. He looked like he was not expecting it, too.

I thought he was an only child although I only heard that from the rumors. It turned out that nobody really knew the truth about Blade’s family. And then I remembered how his parents wanted him dead since he was a child.

And based on his expression, Randall did not seem like a good brot

    FOR the first time since I realized I was in love, I closed the windows. I locked my doors. Night after night, Blade and I were together that’s why I knew he would come tonight. And I was not quite sure if I was ready to see him again.But I was sure about one thing.I would be longing for him tonight. I would not be able to sleep as well as I did the past nights. And my bed would feel bigger tonight.I sat on the bed and pressed my forehead. There were more pressing matters I needed to think about but time and time again, what I heard from mom kept coming back in my mind. She didn’t tell me the rest of the details and I was relieved because I didn’t know if I was ready for it.I could tell that after all this time, even mom was not ready to completely reveal the skeletons in her closet.So… Blade was the first man who broke the mate bond? He broke his bond with mom. She confirmed that herself. I knew what losing a mark felt like. It was hell.And he went to hell because of mom.He mu

    TONIGHT will be the first night that I would not be sleeping beside Blade since he came back. When I opened the door, I caught Ronan outside my room. He seemed to be waiting for me. When I reached out to him, he wagged his tail and rubbed his cheek against my hand.“When are you shifting back to your human form, Ro? Mom really needs a hug right now, you know. I will be leaving tomorrow morning. She will be worried and sad. Once I’m away, please comfort her on my behalf. Can you do that?”He stared at me for a long time.I pressed on. “Tell her that everything is going to be all right. We will come back safe and sound. Mom has been anxious lately and since Earl is still not willing to come out of his room, I need you to remind her of that every day. You can do it, right?”When Ronan wagged his tail once again, I smiled and kissed his head.“Thank you, Ro. I know I could count on you. I hope the next time we meet; I would get to see your handsome face again.” I straightened my back. “No

    “ARE these the new pets?” Garett asked Blade who was currently borrowing Boris’ face and identity. Garett, according to our investigation, was the vampire who contacts Boris directly. He came to meet us in the border along with the other vampire guards.Blade smiled mischievously and wiped the blood off of his nose.“As you can see, these ones are feisty. They got me real good before I brought them here. If not for the potion you gave me, I’d have a harder time taking them but I’m telling you buddy, they are better than the previous pets I brought before,” Blade patted Garett’s shoulders and whispered, “One of them is a minister’s daughter, one of the most beautiful women in our kingdom. And the men? I’m sure the ladies would love them and bid a lot for them.”For a split second, I was worried. That was real blood in Blade’s nose. I could smell it. Even if he had already wiped the blood, it kept bleeding which meant that he was really hurt. Was this additional spell taking a toll on h

    “WHAT are you waiting for, dog? A miracle? That does not exist in this place. Come here. Let’s get you cleaned up quickly. You cannot face the king looking so slimy and filthy.”That lecture came from one of the vampire servants whom Garett referred to as the head maid in the palace. I heard that her name was Candy. She was bigger than me and she was beautiful. She was wearing a red elegant pantsuit and her long, straight black hair was tied neatly. Maybe if I did not hear how Garett called her, I would have thought she was a guest here.But then again, everyone here looked tall, beautiful, and classy. And that included the servants.Things happened so fast. Before I knew it, I was dragged to the backside of the palace. The other servants ripped my clothes and examined every crevice of my body while wearing gloves like they were dissecting an animal which was a potential virus carrier.Once again, I swallowed my pride as they scanned my private parts including my breasts, down between

    “WHY did you do that to your own kin?” I asked Candy after watching the men bowed nonchalantly. “The king wants to send a message to everyone,” she replied and averted her gaze from the stage. I was surprised that she actually answered my question. “And that is?” “Betrayal does not have a place in His Majesty’s kingdom. Only he gets to play inside his territory. And no one else. If others were to play here without him knowing…” Candy stared at me for a few seconds. “All that awaits them in the end is death. Learn from this, dog. Do not play a game you cannot win.” “You mentioned the king. You mean he is here? Where is he?” “You can’t see him but he can see you from wherever he is. And if you steal his interest, he will show himself to you. Don’t rush. Those who do tends to make mistakes.” The male performers had already stepped down the stage to join the guests while those who seemed to know the women from the audience were crying their hearts out. The guards dragged them up to

    RANDALL looked at me as if he was looking at a lamb, his hand was on my chin. He inched his face forward; our noses were brushing against each other. I could smell his fresh breath. His other hand was on my waist, pressing and squeezing me there.I winced and the egocentric king saw that as a sign of weakness but I didn’t look away. Interest flickered his eyes. The moment he opened his mouth, no one from the guests attempted to speak. They were that terrified of him.My wolf, on the other hand, was roaring so loud. It was dying to be freed. It could not wait to bare its teeth and bite while the alpha contenders who saw me in the arms of Randall all grimaced. I could hear their wolves snarling.But as they say, there was a time for everything. A time to roar and a time to suck it up and be quiet. A time to bite and a time to control ourselves and purse our lips tightly together.“Answer my question,” the king said, his fingers were now on my lower lip. I wanted to bite it off but I ste

    IN the academy, the professors taught the future rulers one very important lesson that we must follow until the day we die. In battles, subordinates ought to give their lives for the kings and queens. And if a time comes when we need to choose between one person and the kingdom, we should always choose the kingdom and let that person sacrifice and die saying it was for a great cause.But ever since Dad sat on the throne, he thrashed that lesson and led his warriors to battles.Dad didn’t stop at that. He took his sons with him to those battles.And when it was my time to lead, I started my first day with me on the front line against the vampires. The Council appreciated that but they were against me leaving the kingdom for the wolf prisoners. Before I left, they reminded me once again of the lesson they thought I had forgotten: to leave others when the need arises and to put myself over anything else.The vampires surrounded Dante and the alphas were forced to shift to protect each ot

    WAS that the reason why I saw images of Blade’s parents trying to kill him when he was a child? That was so cruel. They were the ones who decided that Blade would become a devil just because of a prophecy. They could have changed it. They could have raised him with love and made sure he will grow up differently.They had no right to decide on one’s future. If Blade’s heart had turned dark, that was because the world had been cruel to him. Nobody had given him the chance to prove that he could be a good person. They took away the light in his heart. He had become a devil because of his own family. How could they think he wouldn’t grow up like that if he was raised in a heartless manner?How could they expect a young child to understand why his parents were scheming to kill him?“You know what I think? Your parents are stupid. They chose to believe in some stupid prophecy rather than their own flesh and blood-““The prophecy is real-““That’s what you want to believe!” My eyes narrowed.

    Six years later… (Blade) ISABELLA quickly hid the box of chocolates she was munching on when she saw me. She put it behind her. She looked like a little ball of sunshine with her yellow school uniform, yellow sandals, and yellow ribbons. “Were you eating chocolates again?” I asked. She averted her eyes and denied, “No, daddy.” I grinned. She had traces of chocolates on her plump cheeks. Even her tiny fingers had them. Anyone from a meter away could smell them in her. “Really?” She pouted. “Fine. I lied. Sorry, daddy.” She took out her chocolates and with a proud expression, she added, “But I worked hard for these! You can’t take these away from me.” “You worked hard?” I asked, amused. “Alright. Tell me, princess. What did you sell this time?” Last time, this tiny negotiator sold her stick drawings to the council behind our backs. We only found out when Katniss and I came home and saw countless cakes and cookies in the kitchen. The ministers were so fond of Isabella that she c

    (Katniss) EARLY in the morning, I woke up, ran to the bathroom, and threw up. I was already on my second trimester but there were still mornings like this although the doctor had already assured me and Blade that there were some cases when this happens. It was not easy carrying the baby of the most powerful man in all the kingdoms but I was told that our mate bond was helping my body recover from fatigue and the difficulties. And I think it was true. Whenever I see Blade, the stress seems to fade away all at once. I sat on the tiled floor, leaned against the toilet bowl, and took a deep breath. Not long after, Blade showed up beside me. He wiped the sweat off my face. He often sees me like this but his expression was still the same. He looked like he was the one in pain. “I know what you’re going to say next, love. And no, you don’t have to call a doctor for this. This is perfectly normal,” I told him in a hoarse voice. “I wish I could carry her for you,” Blade said instead in a

    ‘DON’T be like me, son. Do not let them down: your woman and your child. I saw it when I held her hand.’ Those were Pierre’s last words. When I heard it, I felt like cold water had been splashed onto my face. That was when memories of me and Katniss started flooding back in my head. And now after all this time, here we are. When I opened the door, I saw her there. The woman who told me to hurry back home was now peacefully sleeping. It was only two in the afternoon. A soft smile curved my lips when I saw her nesting, it was what female shifters do when they are in heat or pregnant. They would wrap themselves with the clothes of their mate to calm down. She was covered by so much clothes that I could only see her face. “Blade…” she whispered in her sleep. “Yes, love. I’m here now,” I replied and gave her a kiss on the forehead. I quietly took the pile of clothes off her to make sure she would sleep more comfortably. My throat went dry when I saw that underneath all my clothes whic

    (Blade)I DID not think that a day like this would come, a day when I would look him in the eyes and I would feel nothing. Today, I received a call from one of the nurses who was in charge of Hawk saying that he was hysterical and was calling for me.I looked around. This place was where Katniss had sent him. In a mental asylum.“What did you do? You are not supposed to look like that! You don’t look broken at all!” Hawk screamed. “Why? You have to suffer! You owe it to me!”He wanted to get up but his knees wobbled and he fell back onto the bed. After I took away his mana, his old age caught up to him quickly. His hair had turned gray. He may look like he was only in his fifties but his body was rotten and was dying inside.Hawk’s glorious days were gone. Now, he appeared as an old miserable man, a fitting end for someone like him.I dragged a wooden chair and placed it in front of him. I sat there and stared at him. After seeing me this way, he looked like the world had betrayed him

    OUR wolves immediately sniffed the air. There were no signs of intruders anywhere. My mind went blank. While Blade rushed to check their bodies, my knees trembled and I fell onto the floor.I stared at their blood on the carpet. All the memories we had made together flashed before my eyes. “No, this isn’t happening. Not them.” My voice trailed off. “This can’t be real!” I held my mentor’s hand. “Get up, please! Don’t do this to us!”“These bunch of morons,” Blade uttered after some time. His jaw clenched.“What are you saying?” I asked, confused.“They are alive.”“I don’t understand. I can’t hear their heartbeats anymore, Blade.”“There is still a faint heartbeat. These idiots are like this because they tried a spell without informing me.”And he was right because after a while, I heard the hybrids cough. And when they opened their eyes, their hair started to change its color. From blonde, I witnessed how their hair had turned… dark.“Please don’t scream. You are ruining our eardrums

    HE knows. And he lied to me. He didn’t wait in the bedroom like he told me would. Instead, he stayed where I could easily see him once I was out of the hall.Blade was aware that I only faked the confidence I wore when my brothers and the council were there. He knew when I was wearing the mask and he knew when it was time to unmask me.When Blade saw my expression, he smiled and welcomed me in his arms because as always, he understood me even when no words could come out of my mouth.He understands my heart and my soul better than anyone does. When he embraced me, I breathed deeply.“I’ve taken care of your things. Where do you wish to go?” he asked softly.“I would go anywhere as long as I’m with you, Blade. But first, I’d like to visit Chester to say goodbye.”“Alright.”Together, we walked hand in hand until we reached the gate. The hybrids were already waiting for us outside. Blade opened the car door for me. When I stepped in, I heard howls. Earl had a dejected expression while R

    BLOOD was still trickling from my mouth when I released Blade.“Your majesty, that was a sin against the moon goddess!” The council members were still pale when they hurriedly kneeled on the ground and looked up at the sky. And together, they uttered, “Oh, merciful Goddess! Please forgive our Queen!”I stared at Blade’s neck when I saw the bitemark. He usually heals in a few seconds but the mark did not heal this time. It stayed right where I wanted it to be.When my wolf howled, I heard his wolf answer.“You imprinted on me?” he asked, still astounded.Instead of responding, I closed my eyes and leaned on him while caressing his ears. The voices, the ringing, they had all stopped at once.I opened my eyes and our gazes met. I linked up with him.“There. You will no longer hear the voices, love. We are one now. With this, I am sharing my everything with you including the light you always said I possess. Each time the darkness tries to pull you down, our wolves will find each other. So

    (Katniss)THIS morning, when I woke up and didn’t find Blade by my side, for the first time, I didn’t panic. My heart was calm. There was warmth in the room. I could smell his scent from the pillow beside me, a sign that last night was not a dream, that he was truly with me.And there were petals falling out of nowhere, filling the room with his presence, which meant that he did not leave. This time, he was… staying. It was just like the first morning I woke up in his tower. I was young, afraid, and unsure about everything.It felt like just yesterday when it happened.Blade knew that I would be worried. Every petal falling on my skin had his warmth.I know that there were many unresolved issues that he and I still need to face. After our encounter with Magnus and his army last night, I still hadn’t discussed anything with the council yet. My brothers and I didn’t have the chance to talk.All of us needed a rest so we had to delay it.But soon, all of us would have to come to a decisi

    ALL the wolves were stunned when the moon had blocked the sun completely. An eclipse was happening. The sky had gotten dark.When His Grace looked up at the sky, his dark eyes had reverted back to gold as his tears rolled down. The hybrids, including me, froze when we failed to hear Katniss’ heartbeat. I took a step back; my face had gone pale and my heart was pounding.It was all my fault.Just when the king’s darkness was slowly disappearing, just when he was starting to go back to normal, I did something so outrageous.The King stared at Magnus and his pack. In the middle of the dark, we saw the fire blazing in his eyes. He was about to go on a rampage, I was sure of that, but then we suddenly heard a gasp.It was Katniss.Just like before, each time we thought all hope had lost, she would do the unexpected. She had always been the game-changer.My jaw dropped when we witnessed her shift in her wolf form. It was as if she had never lost her wolf, like it was still inside her and w
