< Serena >

Yes, we finally arrived in Cirelles, the town near the castle where it had quite a busy market. Our travel time was about twenty minutes on foot after declining the offer of my maids to use the castle coach. It wasn’t really an arduous walk. We had fun just watching everything around us.

Apparently, the guards in the castle didn’t bother us when they saw us walk past the castle gates. Security for a royal persona seemed close to nothing. Unlike on Earth where the royal family was heavily guarded with bodyguards, here, as queen, I had none and I thought it was either their lax security or that they were just really confident with their kingdom’s peace and order and their people.

Rhea and I were both in awe with the town and its not-so little market. Stalls after stalls were seen from left to right of the sidewalks. It was organized in a way that customers could freely choose the merch.

I bet my last rock bottom dollar that Lord Hale made a deal with the witches after he killed 3 of them and placed them in The Kingdom of Pantheon.

    < Aero >Usually, meetings with the other leaders of the realm were as boring as hell. Well, except for the routine rivalry among some of them that would end up on binge drinking, but on this occasion, inside the fae realm, it was particularly special.Ehnrelil had closed its doors centuries ago. The last time I heard it accepted someone not fae was in the funeral of their previous king, King Alduin. After that, they had closed their realm to outsiders under the new rule of the widowed queen, Queen Adna. I was just a young wolf back then, hopelessly needing company.As to why she did so, nobody knew, but rumors said it had something to do with the dead king's brother, High Elder Geraden.Now, as I wondered, why would she welcome us again? There must be a backstory to this invitation and I couldn't wait to uncover it.I sat next to the King of Sattus—the only man in the me

    < Aero >I couldn't deny it, Ehnrelil boasted a beauty unlike any of the kingdoms I had come to visit. Just as I remembered, their ground looked like silver bricks. Their sky, a neon color of orange, blue and pink. Their houses were invisible, only arches of flowers and leaves gave clues to its existence. There were a variety of greenery in every corner I looked, all mixed up with the kingdom's glowing quality. There were waterfalls everywhere and with these waterfalls came mists that surrounded the greenery. Such was its sight, but a sight I couldn't stomach that long.I was itching to go back to my own world, but due to royal duties, I had to stay until the crowning of Ehnrelil's new king. The way Queen Adna and High Elder Geraden gave me looks of contempt earlier didn't warrant any of my respect, but again, to show face, I had to attend the ritual.But while waiting for that to happen, I decided to avo

  • THE ALPHA KING'S CLAIM   Chapter 47 - Riding the King (No pun intended)

    < Aero >It was after lunch when I decided to return to the castle. I would have been earlier if it wasn't for the constant ache on my wrist mark. It was aching last time I was in Ehnrelil and when I arrived in my manor too. The ache was tolerable then, but it was worse last night, enough that would hinder me from getting a good night's sleep.The ache however subsided now the closer I was to my castle; or to be more specific, the closer I was to her. This was indeed the same when we were far from each other for the whole month: me in Phanteon while she was on Earth.That said, I was able to finally solve one of the mark's mysteries and that would be its fucking purpose.I got to hand it to whoever or whatever power created the marks on our wrists. It definitely made sure we, newly weds, stay close. In short, avoiding each other was futile.And hell, that was obviously a

  • THE ALPHA KING'S CLAIM   Chapter 48 - Disarmed by the Queen

    < Serena >I kept my cool. I kept myself as accommodating as I could despite all the people surrounding me asking for my advice, for my supervision, and for simply my presence. With their king and prince both absent, they needed another royal to guide them and despite me being fake, I was the closest fit for the position.As a result, I received many praises from the victims and the Alphas alike the entire course of the day. I appreciated it, but what I really cared about was their happy faces and the light of hope in their eyes.I got those when the king and I delivered the last batch of fire victims to their quarters. They were my validation that I did my job right as queen.Now, with me alone with the king—riding him even—I finally had ample time to think how grateful I was with his presence.Honestly speaking, I never expected for him to help me or even to return so e

  • THE ALPHA KING'S CLAIM   Chapter 49 - The Big Bad Wolf Ate Me

    < Aero >The moment I arrived in the hot springs of Mount Thersa, that's when I realized I made a mistake. Over the dark horizon, the snow moon was taking form, beckoning me, mocking me with its crescent shape. Hell, it was day one of its phase and I was already too late to notice it.I wouldn't have brought Serena here if I did, but the deed was done. What was left now was to have her swim in the hot spring and leave the place. Stat.To remedy my problem, I told her an hour of swimming was enough. Normally, I'd be immune to its first and second phase unlike the other weres in my kingdom, so I deemed myself safe. I could behave, keep my hands to myself.For now at least.As the Alpha King, my sense of hearing was already superb, but I felt it was more sensitive now as Serena, naked for sure, continued to swim, creating splashes and waves like a nymph, and it was damn teas

    < Serena >"Then, I'll kiss you back."I flung my arms around his neck and pulled him to me. He followed my lead and claimed my lips once more.As promised, I reciprocated his ardor. Our tongue sparred. Our mouths molded. I couldn't breathe properly, but again, I didn't care. He was my oxygen. The longer we kissed, the more alive I felt.I couldn't really describe how good it was to finally set my desire free. From my sexual dreams with him to the real yearning from deep within my heart, I was certain I was on the right path. Never mind the fact that we were in different worlds. Never mind the fact that he was a werewolf and I, a human. Never mind the fact that he hated women. We both wanted each other and that was enough.His hands moved to cup my breasts. They were already aching to be attended. With his thumbs, he pressed my nipples again and rolled them in an excrucia

  • THE ALPHA KING'S CLAIM   Chapter 51 - His Pent-up Desire

    < Aero >What was intended to be an hour of swimming turned to an all-out intimate tryst until midnight. The snow moon’s first phase didn’t influence me. It was all me. All my accumulated desire for her freed in one night.As a man who hadn’t touched a woman before, I was half-crazed, half-tempted to fuck her the whole night long, but I reminded myself she was a human. She was easily breakable, so preciously fragile, so I settled for four...four magnificent love makings: three inside the cave where I usually spend my time after court meetings and the last one, on her chamber.The hot spring cave was my little solace. Now, I had shared it with another and with a woman, her, no less. I couldn’t be more happier.On our second, I stripped myself of the confining pants and soaked boots. Fully naked, I took her under the waterfall, in a hidden area where a slab of rock slanted. Warm water rushed behind he

  • THE ALPHA KING'S CLAIM   Chapter 52 - Blessing in Disguise

    < Aero >Transporting myself inside the war room, a deep scowl was already etched on my face. Elijah was already sitting in one of the chairs of the oval table, dressed still in his travel clothes. Agotta, or the realm of the witches, was a fifteen-day ride by horseback and five days lesser when traveled in wolf form. There were two gates through it when a visitor wishes to cross. It cuts the travel time in just a day, but even then, it would still cost the traveler tired muscles and a whole lot of migraine.That was exactly the second reason why I didn’t want to visit that place. The first was simply because that realm was filled with women. The first and last time I visited Agotta was with my father when I was young. Like Ehnrelil, I couldn’t stomach how glimmering and bright their world looked.Elijah had volunteered to be my vassal when dealing with the witches and I was under the impression he had enjoyed each of his visi

    EpilogueSerena“Ryland! Raziel! Rule! Be ready!” Aero roared as he paced in front of them, acting as game master in this friendly competition of brothers. He was dressed in nothing but trousers while the triplets, as usual, copied their father, acting as if their pre-pubescent muscles could contend to Aero’s bulging ones. The three were lined up within the yellow line, ready and waiting for the red flag to be released.I sat on the stone bench outside the mini arena of Alchidna just observing them. On my lap was Scarlett, trying to shake her baby maracas to the best of her ability. She just turned two five days ago while my triplets reached their teenage status a month before that.Scarlett was a heaven-sent to Aero and I. We were never sure what gender we would be blessed in my second pregnancy, but luckily, it was a female. A princess. Aero let me name her, and I used the Earth name of t

Go and dip. You need to rest. I’ll massage you.”Hearing this, I tossed him a disbelieving look. “What? The great alpha king wants to massage me?”He pulled down his pants and straightened before me with pride in his eyes. “Yes, but you should know I only do this to the woman I love.”“Well then, massage away, my dear alpha king,” I answered before I bit my lower lip.My heart fluttered when he touched me again, first to caress my shoulder and next to trace the mate mark on my neck and the crescent moon mark on my wri

    Chapter 56 – The BeginningAeroI didn’t doubt Serena when she said she wanted to deliver our children in a cave and with me assisting her. She trusted me with our sons’ lives. She didn’t second-guess me, so it was only right I shouldn’t second-guess myself too.Obviously, this wasn’t what we planned at all, but considering the circumstances, this was the best we could get. Serena seemed contented, so I was contented.Seeing her in pain, it sliced me to pieces. I wished I could fight this battle with her. I wished I could feel the same pain as what she was feeling, but I knew this was an obstacle reserved only for her.When our firstborn arrived, my happiness was over the moon.A father. The word echoed in my head repeatedly.I couldn’t believe I am a father now.I wanted to celebrate, but I knew it was best to do so later. Serena was due to deliv

    Chapter 54 – Precious SoulsSerenaA sound of a cry and a huff escaped my mouth when I realized who just materialized inside the cave. My husband, who looked so good, so handsome, but also so worried, stood before me. My heart instantly leaped in joy.Finally, he came and right on time.“You never called me,” he said as he stepped forward toward me.“I was about to,” I answered, half wincing, half smiling.His warm hand contacted my cheek, and I reveled in the feel that it brought.“How are you feeling?” His gentle eyes landed on mine. His other hand touched my contracting belly and moved it up and down the roundness.“Tired,” I replied. “I’m in labor, Aero.”“I know,” he simply answered. He looked so calm on the exterior, but I knew deep inside his many emotions were swirling

    Chapter 53 –The Scent of the QueenAeroI must say, Calaheim did me a favor. The area where the portal ended brought me inside a house that sickeningly smelled like Sofia. I was in a foyer in what I could reckon as the second floor, judging from the nearby stairs I spotted and the grand chandelier hanging on a beam just leveled with my line of sight. Below me, I could hear a woman talking—or more like complaining—together with a man groaning in pain.I instantly recognized their voices. One was Dr. Rutherford or Hilda with a rougher tone now than before, and the second was from Viscount Daniel.Slowly, I inched closer to the stone balustrade to spy on the situation. The viscount’s rough state made me clench my hands instantly.He was shirtless and bloody, with his arms and chest wounded with a slicing cut of a blade. This blade was visible on Hilda’s hand. The edge was pointed to

    Chapter 53 –ForgivenessAeroHadon was sneaky, but I was sneakier. What I did was to only use my enhanced sense of smell to locate him everywhere he went in Ehnrelil. I observed enough distance between us; hid under the shadows or behind the walls and watched his every move.First, Hadon went to the Council of Elders’ tower. Did some paperwork there until he left two hours later and went to the Rexhus Tower. There were priestesses in training there. He observed them with a disappointed face and demanded more from them. Like a boastful man, he showed his spells—cheap magic tricks that even a fae child could do. But there was one that caught my eye. It was the cloaking spell he used when he kidnapped Serena.I gritted my teeth while I watched him show it off to the priestesses. I wanted to rip his throat apart, but I knew I had to be mor

    Chapter 52 –Tailing the FaeAeroQueen Adna looked morose when I teleported to her throne room. Gone was her beauty. Gone was her radiance. She sat on the throne, slumped, silent and without life. It was ironic to watch her like this because I knew, if I was a female version worrying about Serena’s welfare, I would look the same.When she noticed my entrance, she perked up and her expression lightened a bit.“Have you found her?” She stood and asked without delay.I shook my head and maintained my neutral face. My anger remained on the surface just waiting to explode; waiting for me to unleash it to the right person. I just needed to find this person first.“No, I still haven’t, but I found out who took her,” I answered.Queen Adna’s worried ex

    Chapter 51 – The Luna EscapesSerenaLike what Viscount Daniel said, I ran—or more like plodded—as far away as possible from Sofia’s house.The house was impressive—that was my first impression when I first glimpsed it en route to my escape path. The walls were made of white bricks and it was covered in vines almost deliberately to camouflage it with its surroundings. It had a landscaped garden and toadstool pathways—a standard in every fae house, but hers was a weird dark violet. The house was surrounded by autumn-colored trees and lavender-green grass; quite picturesque if not for the owner and the people living in it.The bluish color of the barrier was visible around the house, yet I couldn’t quite figure out the depth of its coverage: how many kilometers it stretched or how high it reached the sky.D

    Chapter 50 – Her Majesty’s SaviorSerena“What does it feel to be hopeless now, luna? It’s fun, right?” Hilda stated as she continued to stare down at me. Her mocking voice was dripping with confidence, so similar like her daughter’s. I wanted to lash out, give her a witty reply, but the state I was in reduced me into a moaning mess.I embraced my contracting belly and ignored her instead.“Your husband will never find you. You are doomed,” she continued, still with the viscount by her side, just looking at me with no emotion in his eyes. “My daughter’s house is imbued with her magic—from the surrounding landscape to this very building we stand, and with Hadon’s help, this place is forever hidden. No one can enter unless I will it so.”“Mhhhh!” A whimper of
