Chapter 25 A few minutes later Draven was there and was so surprised to see Darius on his bed. “Darius, are you okay?” Draven asked, sounding worried as he stood close to the bed looking at him. “I’m fine, I just need proper rest. The forbiddens have indeed gotten stronger,” Darius stated to his brother. “The forbidden made you this way?” Draven asked his brother. “I tried commanding it to me and breaking its free will but it seemed as though something stronger broke through the connection and had sent it a message to return home immediately,” Darius explained to his brothers. “You said you felt the darkness was going to overshadow you also,” Damien chipped that in. “Yes because while controlling it I had to look into it and I saw just darkness in those eyes and it was as though it was sharing its darkness with me,” Darius said to them and even shivered now. “We need the Ancient book of keys from Father’s locker,” Draven announced to his brothers. “I believe we three do. I wil
Chapter 26 Luna Ashena just finished taking her bath and was applying some makeup on herself and someone started coughing loudly. Looking at the bed she just turned back to her dressing mirror and continued applying her cosmetics and jewelry. “Water,” The person on the bed asked, the voice almost coming out as a whisper. “Water,” The person requested again as the loud cough continued. “You need to speak up to be heard,” Luna Ashena said as she continued fixing her hair trying to look as beautiful as possible. Elsa rushes in with water as she hears the loud cough. “Dad this is the water,” Elsa says as she raises Alpha Gregor’s head slightly from the bed so he can drink the water carefully without any problems. He gulped it down like a man who had been in a race and had been dehydrated for a long time. Elsa then rested his head back on the pillow and looked at her mom who was still dressing at her table with disgust. “Are you going to continue like this towards Dad?! You were li
Chapter 27 Luna Ashena, as though transfixed, stood up and walked to where he was sitting. “Sit here,” He said again tapping his lap and Luna Ashena followed his instruction as she sat on his lap. He held her face in his hands gently as he brushed his lips against hers again and again as though he was playing with her lips. The more he did that the more Luna Ashena’s breathing became so light as she was giving herself pleasure. The man who was her secret lover pushed his tongue into her mouth and they began kissing each other passionately. Luna Ashena put her hands around his neck as he used one of his hands to start losing the lace behind her gown. Luna Ashena shivered as she deepened the kiss with her hands rubbing his back ever so gently. The man gently broke the kiss as he said to her, “Undress slowly,” Luna Ashena began undressing slowly as she took off her gown not breaking eye contact with her lover who was watching her mesmerized by her beauty. He inhaled deeply when sh
Chapter 28 Anastasia woke up feeling refreshed and calm. She couldn't even remember having a nightmare the previous night so she felt happy indeed. Jessica and Estella were already in her room cleaning as usual. “Good morning,” Anastasia practically sang this to Jessica and Estella who then looked at her so surprised wondering what was going on with her but smiled all the same because Anastasia’s smile was indeed contagious. “Good morning Miss Anastasia,” Estella said to Anastasia. “Good morning Miss Anastasia,” Jessica also said to Anastasia. “ I would prepare your bath now,” Jessica said to her. Anastasia ran to her balcony excited as she smiled looking at the clouds. She practically felt so refreshed just by waking up and not even by having her bath. “Isn't it a good day today?” Anastasia asked the both of them. When they both didn't respond she looked at both of them and laughed when she saw their expressions. “Thank you for being happy,” Estella said to Anastasia which ma
Chapter 29 “Don’t misunderstand this, it is not that they don't want to. It’s the Lycans you are talking about one can just go give them food without Dante’s directive,” Hannah explained to Anastasia. “It’s just a snack. I mean they probably might be craving it right now,” Anastasia said to them. Hannah and Esther looked at each other and sighed and Esther said to Anastasia, “There are some rules in this house, I mean it has been here way before I joined the Bethermore Mansion, you seem like we aren't even supposed to be here with them right now but decided to because it looked quite exciting, but, now for the Lycans we can't just do that,” Anastasia thought for a while and nodded as she removed her apron. “I would go give them myself, by the way, I would need help carrying them. Where are the Lycans right now?” Anastasia inquired from them. “Training ground,” One of the maids answered. “Good so let’s go, let’s some people carry fruits, others water,” Anastasia directed all of
Chapter 30 The sound of gasps amongst the concubines and other maids that were all over the training ground was so loud after Damien knocked down the tray of cupcakes. Anastasia stood frozen to the ground for split seconds. She started shivering as the images of the past in her father’s house clouded her mind. She couldn't believe that Damien just threw all her hard work on the ground without even tasting it. “You ought to be training! Instead, you are baking cakes?!” Damien shouted. He was angry now at her and he continued, “I had made it very clear to you that you ought to be training every day! But it seems like you decided that baking would be better than actually training those weak muscles of yours!” Damien said still shouting at Anastasia Anastasia kept quiet as she bit her tongue hard and was almost tasting blood to prevent herself from crying. Alexa and Violet started laughing at an embarrassed Anastasia. “Lycan Damien I think there is something wrong with her ears an
Chapter 31 Draven regretted not running after Anastasia immediately and delayed himself by speaking to Damien. He was frustrated now as he looked around and couldn't see a sign of Anastasia anywhere. He could tell she had missed her way now thinking she was going to the garden. He decided to use his vampire's speed to run through the forest and got to the spot where he saw blood but wasn't looking so red. His heart skipped a beat immediately as he hoped what he thought wasn't true. He knew if the forbiddens had captured her that would be the end of bearing heirs for him and his brothers and Damien would forever berate himself. He then tried using his senses on the environment as he calmed himself down and focused. He was able to find the forbidden moving with a captured Anastasia, he immediately ran towards their directions. Draven’s heart began beating so fast as he hoped they hadn't killed her yet or turned her to ash as he had seen in the town with his brothers. He wondered
Chapter 32 Draven looked in the direction of the forbidden head’s movement too. He looked at Anastasia and wondered what the forbidden meant. “What do you mean by her?!” Draven snapped at the forbidden. The forbidden stopped whimpering from the pain Draven had been making it feel as if he had stopped torturing her feet. “That's it. I only followed through with the instruction and all I knew was to bring her back safely,” The forbidden said with a smile now which got Draven mad as he slapped the forbidden. Anastasia and the forbidden gasped in shock after Draven slapped the forbidden. “Who sent you?” Draven asked the forbidden again with so much anger in his eyes. “I don't know who,” The forbidden said. “Alright,”. Draven said and immediately started applying pressure to the forbidden shoulders. The forbidden began screaming. Anastasia shivered and felt like Draven was doing too much. She could feel the pain of the forbidden through her scream. She felt somewhat compassionate t
