He remembered every single detail. Then, he saw her as she walked down the muddy road in her dark brown dress with a basket of apples. Every time she passed a beggar, she gave an apple to that person. Her spirit and enthusiasm for helping the needy people had gone unnoticed, but that didn’t bother her. Every day, it would be the same. A basket of apples. The more he watched her, the more he was intrigued by her. Maybe there was still kindness in the world of mortals.
“Who are you watching?” a soft-spoken person asked him.
Stefano bowed in respect, “Moon Goddess, I do not expect to meet you here.”

People didn’t understand the prophecy of the demon wolf and why cross-mating was forbidden. Granted, the supernatural species were allowed to mate with humans. Still, they weren’t allowed to mate with other species—just like the story of Mirabelle Xavier, a blueblood werewolf woman who mated to Ethan de Magnuson, the King of Vampires. Yes, Stefano heard that story. That wasn’t just a story made by anyone. That happened for real, and Mira was the fruit of their forbidden love. Their love story had created devastation between vampires and werewolves—putting an intense tension between the two species.True, that the two species had been at war with each other for centuries-long, but it wasn’t as severe as the war caused by Ethan’s forbidden mating with Mirabelle.

After hearing the last sentence, Cohen excused himself as he looked like he was close to losing his temper. Clavier was left in the office with Stefano and two guards. This wasn’t what Stefano had planned. For three centuries, he had planned every step carefully, but no matter how good his plan was, it could never deceive the eyes of the demon wolf.

Stefano's memory, "What can you do for me if I seal my sister?" Titania asked as she watered her healing plants in front of her hut. Stefano stood behind her, looking at the river. Even after she had gained all the knowledge she needed, Titania remained in the path of light. She used her magic to heal and help those who needed her. Often, people exploited her kindness, but never once she showed disappointment over their actions. Titania accepted that she couldn't lead everyone to the path of light and only did her best to those who chose the light rather than the darkness. Those who followed her in the path of light were blessed with magic that served the light. It was said that a white witch would exist one at a time to continue Titania's teaching and belief. A white witch was considered a sacred bein

Mira opened her eyes and groaned. She rubbed the soreness on the back of her head. Sighing, she sat up and looked around. She was back inside the same room as before. Mira didn't expect Adeline to change her side that fast. But she understood why Adeline decided to team up with Alistair. He must have shown something to Adeline that made the latter help him.Mira leaned against the stone wall, thinking again. Her wrists and legs were chained to the floor, and the chains were long enough for her to move about. But the chains were something else. She stared at the markings on the chains and noticed those were dark magic. No matter how hard she tried to break the chain, her attempts failed. Instead, Mira just sat there, breathing, and stayed in silence."So, you decide to keep quiet too?" Mira said to no one particularly.

It was true that he kissed Mira a few times and spent a lot of time with her, but Mira didn't feel a thing about it. Stefano did it to deceive those around him."What are you going to do now?"

In her demon wolf’s realm, Mira was forced to exit to another part of its realm. There, she saw the same gates that Amanda put up to control Mira’s bad memories from affecting her deeply.

Cohen looked out the window of his office and noticed the sky was changing color slowly. In a few minutes, the sun would start to take over the moon slowly. His heart became restless as he was nowhere close. No matter how hard he didn’t want to think about being late to save her, he couldn’t ignore it. Last time, he was late saving her. He didn’t want to be late this time, but he had no clues about finding her.For the first time, Cohen felt useless. All those years and knowledge couldn’t help him find the one person he needed to find.The office door was slammed open, and Liam walked in as he breathed heavily.
