thanks for reading.
Either option was a goal far from reach. Just see how thin she was. If she did some exercise and training, she might die. The food issue was a problem too. She had no money and she felt she couldn't just shamelessly ask to eat a lot of the food in return for manual labour. "Lavana," Magnolia called and she looked at her. "Maggie, I... I..." "You must have been starved for a long time. You wolf must have probably taken over and eaten earlier." Magnolia said. "Em... Yeah. She told me that she's okay now. I can eat normally now. I'll start doing manual...." "Eish. We have no slave here. You are a family to us. It's our duty to make sure our family member is in good shape.” said Regina who rose up and walked to Lavana. She put her right arm around Lavana’s shoulders, patting it gently thrice. “Don’t feel ashamed of your habits. Relax. We’ve vowed to care for you as long as you are here, so you don’t need to hold back. Actually, this habit can help you regain meat in no time. You can
Rolandro was the one whom everyone listened to in this pack. Other than him, they also listened to Mel. They were the most capable werewolves in the pack. If either of them could get a good score and rank in the upcoming triennial competition, then either of them could be the Beta and then their pack would no more be without an Alpha. Not just that, having an Alpha means more respect when they do go to the annual meeting. Also, they'd get more resources, more land and businesses to control in the human territory. The pack members in total were a little more than 50. If they had an Alpha, more wolf bloods from Alpha-less packs would join if they met the requirements and swore to be loyal to the blood star pack. There was anxiety in their hearts, but that didn't mean they couldn't smile at all. Hence this activity was organized tonight.It's not very often for a pack to come together and do some fun activities, but after this, everyone would need to be more serious with their training
Another participant got eliminated from team A. Now it was 1:2. The one left on the side of team A was a burly hairy man with grey and black hair that was tied in a small bun. The other two on team B's side were two women with a burly build. One had 3 long claw marks on the left side of her cheek while the other had one long scar on her left hand. One couldn't imagine how bad the injury was to leave these kinds of marks on the ladies. The man on team A's side suddenly stopped dancing and let go of the chain. He walked to the two ladies and shook hands with them. "Thanks for letting us win smoothly, Estes." the one with the marks on her face said. "It's my pleasure, mate," he said before placing a kiss on her forehead amidst the cheers. "A man and woman of the same body build. What kind of child would they give birth to?" Lavana wondered. Anyway, the second game was done and the two ladies were given the prize money in an envelope. No one knew how much was inside. Usually, thes
Seeing this, the members of team A that were jubilating in their hearts that Lavana was heading for them, their joy vanished. Team C had been downhearted earlier but seeing Lavana come over to them suddenly, they became happy and more energetic. They would be the true winner and claim the prize.Now the four of them had gone to their assigned teams."Begin!" said Mel and the four nodded.The older man jumped onto the wooden board before sitting down. The pack members who formed that human table began to tremble and sway. Carmelia touched the wooden board and instead of sitting on it, she walked around the team, occasionally whispering something into the ears of any team member she chose.The team members felt that they were truly unlucky. She seemed to be a kind woman all this time, but who knew she'd whisper these sorts of words in their ears?"Hey boy, do you like me? Am I pretty?""Do you feel your little bro excited?""You think I've got ample backside? What do you think about my
"Okay then. I'll wait until you are very free. You must teach me. You won't break your promise, Lava." Maggie intertwined her pinky finger with Lavana's.The latter felt a headache coming. What if Thora decides to just sleep on the day that Maggie was to come to ask for her guidance? The winner of the game had emerged. It was team A. The team members thanked the slim warrior profusely. Turns out the older man was stronger than the slim warrior, just good at hiding it. "Alright. The winning team is team A," Mel said and the audience applauded."It wasn't an easy thing to get to this stage. We're proud of all who participated.The teams who did not win will get 20 dollars each. Those who won will get these." Four pack members headed to the members of team A and gave them 4 golden jugs."That is your reward," Mel said. The purpose of these games is not just for fun. The first game tests your flexibility. The second tests your adaptability and strength. This third game is to test your l
The third team was already moving, albeit not easily but they kept receiving encouragement from the crowd. Soon, the other two teams were ready and began to move. Bending their legs and straightening their bodies to move on to the next brick and repeating that same action again wasn't easy. "You can do it!""Louis, you got this!""Come on, Mathrius!""Move it! You're almost there, Johnny!"The audience kept screaming out their encouragement."Husband, if you win, I promise you the best head ever. You feel the happiness of cloud nine." Regina telepathed to her husband, which made him nearly stumble. What kind of mate was she? Did she want to cloud his mind with images that weren't necessary for the moment? Images of her tempting naked body?"Dear, this is not how to encourage your mate. Don't just bother at all." he telepathed her back."Oh, come on, honey. Say you aren't tempted by a rapidly creaking bed tonight.""You...""Baby, if you lose, I will ride you till you cry for your mam
"Hehe, I'll show you what I've got, Mr Mel." Rhett confidently mind-linked his rival. "I'm not worried, Rhett. You should watch out instead." Mel said as they continued the frog jumping, leaping over the tree stumps almost at the same time. When they got to the point where there were no more tree stumps to leap over, they started leaping even faster, all the while keeping that confident look on their faces amidst the cheers. As they were nearing the finish point, two assigned pack members started shooting rubber arrows at them at a fast rate. These wouldn't hurt the participants but they were kind of annoying. If one gets up to complain then all his hard work was for nought. If that one also stopped leaping to see who was firing arrows, he'd lost too. At this point, focusing was the main thing. When they were super close to the finish point, someone threw a snake at them. A startled Rhett gasped and got up to run away. He didn't like snakes. Mel didn't even flinch when the snake wa
Rolandro rubbed the back of his neck and smiled sheepishly before wearing the serious face again. At this time, Lavana had already stepped out. She stood at the indicated spot where the other participants once stood to showcase their talent and another song that was catchy was being played. When Rolandro saw her earlier fidgeting, it was true. Do you know why? This damn Thora suddenly felt weak and went into slumber, just like the others had been. The reason was that she'd used up quite a lot of energy in the dancing show-off earlier on the board during the human table game. Now, she heartlessly ditched Lavana like this. How could she not fidget? She can not dance, for heaven’s sake. “Even though that guy got booed at, he at least was able to dance a little and spin four hoops. Can I even spin one?" she thought in distress. She had no tears to shed. Everyone was staring at her now, wanting to see how she'd perform with the hoops. Maggie was more excited. Since Lavana was going to
Wiyzh-Sybylle Landia Imperial Ceremony hall. 9:00 am. The venue was a gigantic hall built with numerous gleaming gemstones, all having different shades of white, regardless of shape and quality. Surrounding the hall at a reasonable distance from each other were a few golden statues of various fairytale beasts. Numerous shrubs with white or silver flowers could be seen in the large area. If one flew above the hall, he'd see that the flowers surrounding the venue in specific spots actually formed the symbol of love— a heart. There were also some large trees of different heights possessing rose gold trunks, white leaves and silver bell-shaped fruits at random spots, adding to the beauty of the environment. Several beautiful and colourful little effervescent birds were singing in harmony on the branches of those trees, blessing the ears of whoever heard their wonderful melody. White and golden butterflies made from light magic could be seen fluttering their wings around the area. The
"Oh, selfless, huh? Fine, my bride would prefer to see you alive anyway. I'll just take you with me," he looked at the pink snake, "You have any problem with that?" Echidna hastily responded, "No, No! You can take him with you, sir. It's an honour," Phoenix lifted a brow, "You give him up so easily?""I have assurance that since you aren't killing any of us today, you'll take care of my son. Besides, he's too disobedient,""Mom!" Tamesis couldn't believe his mother said that."Your son can only visit you once a year after this. You still want me to take him?" Phoenix questioned with a raised brow."Sure. I'll give you as many treasures. I also know that by the time he returns next year, he'll be more mature and obedient,""Okay. You guys wait out here. I'll take whatever treasures that interest me myself," without waiting for their reply, Phoenix vanished. He reappeared a few minutes later with a star-shaped gleaming purple stone.All of them looked hesitant. This stone was located
The young Vulkhaen finally reached its destination. The part of the cave that was very specious had a lake below. The lake's water was refined and of great purity.In the big lake, 25 snakes of different sizes and colours- big and small- swam with glee and the largest of them- a black-coloured snake- was on the shore just watching. Suddenly it perceived a familiar smell and its golden eyes lit up.Turning its head, it found to its delight that its suspicions were correct- the runaway youngling was back! "Father!" the runagate snake flew down to the shore of the lake and coiled its head around his father's."You finally know to come back, huh?""Yes, father. I'm so sorry. I won't ever defy your orders again. Please forgive me,""It's ok, son. As long as you know and acknowledge your wrong, it's fine. Hey guys, Tamesis is back!" Immediately, all the snakes left the water and flew to shore the moment their wings sprouted."Son, you finally returned," a feminine voice was heard from the
Wiyzh-Sybylle LandiaImperial Sacred Ceremony Ground. Those watching had anxious looks on their faces. The king put on a calm expression, even though his heart was thumping in his chest.But at the moment, he saw Phoenix's hair turn silver with cerulean ends, the calmness on his face fled, getting substituted by anxiousness. ‘Gosh! He’s planning to use his powers?’ the king became even more anxious. No, this mirror had to be stopped from showing any further happening. He didn’t care what people might say; he was king, who were they to complain?But Phoenix suddenly faced the beast with his back and then smiled, giving a signal that the king should let things happen as it should. Worst case, he’ll just present this strong beast's head when he comes out of the portal. The king sighed defeatedly. The first prince had resolved that if the people present on the ceremony ground found out he was actually a sorcerer and not a high-level wizard as they believed for so many years, so be it!
Forbidden Forest. Lavana’s mate exited the portal, landing on the ground on his feet. He steadied himself and saw the portal quickly close. Looking around with his now glowing viridian eyes to see where he was currently, all he could see were tall and wide sturdy trees that could likely be a few hundred or maybe a thousand years old. Their rough trunks were wrapped by various thin or thick golden vines. There were also numerous shrubs, each having different leaf colours. A few of them were known but the majority he couldn't identify. Hence, he had to be careful since the possibility of poisonous or lethal shrubs being amongst the plants was high. Ahead of him was thick white fog and it served as the gateway to the lair of the creatures he was to defeat tonight, Silgioth- ranking first on the top dangerous beasts’ list. He had told the king that this was what he wanted, so the king had the portal drop him right near its dwelling in this taboo forest. In addition to being hard to se
“Greatness of Wiyzh-Sybylle Landians!" the king called out solemnly, with his sceptre raised.In response, the others who were holding sceptres also raised theirs upwards. A resounding "For Eternity!' was heard from all subjects present.The king and the subjects repeated this action two more times, before putting down their sceptres. The satisfied king nodded with a small smile. "Tonight, we’re all gathered here for a special occasion. My son, Prince Phoenix has found a beautiful flower, the mate gifted to him by the goddess. All required rituals have been done up to this point. Now, it is time for him to demonstrate that he can guard the precious flower that he has found, from danger, even at the cost of his life. He will enter the forbidden forest and return by midnight with the head of a dangerous creature. With its teeth, he will make a special necklace for his bride. The beast's core, he will use as the pendant and engrave his name!”“Aye!” the crowd yelled, full of pep. “I, he
Two days later,First Wiz prince's abode,Phoenix's chamber,8:55 pm.Phoenix was back to normal; Now, he could wear clothes and touch himself without feeling any sort of discomfort. Lavana had long been taken away to her assigned residence to be provided special beauty treatments and perform a few other essential rites that required only the bride's presence. According to custom, the couple weren't to see or talk to each other physically before the wedding ceremony.On his part, he had to pass one more test meant for royalty, and that was to bring back the head of a dangerous creature in the forbidden forest- As assurance that he could protect his bride!It was to be done tonight, beginning from 10 pm to midnight- the task had to be done in two hours or less.He had just one hour before beginning the trial. Currently, his hair is neatly tied in a bun, his upper and lower eyelids are painted black and there is a necklace on his neck made from a conscious beast's dark brown teeth. His
The King and his wife were seated on his consort's scepter Alvana, heading towards the monarch's residence slowly."Extreme pain at being touched..." the queen pondered, "If anyone who touches Phoenix makes him feel a lot of pain, then why could his mate touch him without increasing the pain?" she wondered out loud."Probably because she's a mermaid?" the king guessed, "You know, it's rumoured that their touch is comforting to an afflicted soul," The queen sagely nodded, "It could be the case. I can understand that our son is a hybrid, being a wiz and Alpha Blood, that's why there are blurs covering his special places. But his mate is the same! Since when do mermaids have blurs? That didn't look like some sort of magic spell that shields others from seeing the private places either. It's sort of natural,"The king let out a defeated sigh, "Darling, you know she's capable of producing a fireball,""Yeah, I saw that. Even telekinesis!""Lavana is actually tribrid," the king revealed via
She made the pot levitate from the stunned doctor's hands and fly over to her. While it was still levitating, a small fireball materialised atop her right hand, shocking the others. Peter knew she had fire and ice powers, so he wasn't too shocked. But making things levitate, well, that was a first. "Okay, don't increase the fire, maintain it for five minutes," the doctor ordered after regaining his calm and she nodded her agreement. Anything, she would do, as long as Phoenix became well again. She couldn’t lose her darling mate!Doctor Alstein took out several coloured fresh herbs from his second spatial ring and put them in a white porcelain mortar taken out from his first spatial ring. He picked up the pestle that was in it and started pounding it with the right amount of strength required. Then he added some strange-looking fruits taken out of his second storage ring and continued pestling. When he was done, he squeezed out the essential dark green liquid from the crushed stuff i
