Caspian took his time bathing himself and Ramona before dressing up and placing her on the bed. She was half asleep.Laying next to her and wrapping his arms around her body, he stared at her face as she was slowly falling asleep."Did you have fun today?" Caspian asked, feeling bad that he didn't take her out for her wedding dress shopping."I did. But I was disappointed when you abruptly decided against taking me wedding dress shopping. Ramona muttered drowsily."We will go soon, I promise." Caspian said and she nodded slowly."You didn't tell me about the meeting of the alphas." She muttered."It was on short notice." Caspian sighed."I'm getting mad knowing that you are keeping a lot from me in the messed up name of protection. I do not want you to protect me by keeping important things away from me."Caspian sighed. He wasn't surprised that she was suspicious. "I need time.""I can just leave. Like I said, we aren't supposed to keep things away from each other." She grumbled and
"Why are you staring at me like that?" Angelo asked flusteredly.Justice said nothing but his stare didn't weave.Angelo's eyes widened in realization. "No! This is happening like last time." He pushed himself away and got out of bed, then pointed at Justice, who had just sat down and was beaming slyly sensually at him. "Last time? He asked, raising an eyebrow, then got out of bed, moved over to Angelo, and tightly held his neck. "Quit talking nonsense," Angelo widened his eyes. "Let go of me." He growled, but instead of releasing his hold on his neck, Justice smiled broadly and suddenly pressed his lips to Angelo's.Angelo felt his entire body become rigid. It was happening once more!He let out a harsh growl in an effort to get Justice to move before his beast gave in, but as Justice tightened his hold on his neck, he was quickly crushed against the wall.Justice ate his mouth like a starving being, leaving him absolutely out of breath."N... No!" Angelo felt himself on the verge
Michelle blinked at him, stunned. "M.. me?" Javier sighed heavily, shaking his head slowly. He couldn't believe he was saying this all because of his fucked up brother! However, regardless of that, he was getting highly attracted to the omega wolf. Her scent was growing strong and it was making his beast excited in a new and powerful way."Do you not understand what I'm saying?" Javier had to ask.Michelle shook her head slowly. "I...""Okay, disregard my request to provide you a job if you find that offensive.""No.. no I..." She jumped to her feet, nervously stroking the back of her neck, and quickly chugged her drink straight from the bottle. Javier gave her a curious look.She managed a grin at him as she set the bottle back on the table. The myriad colorful lights that were moving around the club reflected in her blue eyes, which shone brightly.He had no ability to read her gaze, but for some reason, he hoped he could. "You're hesitant?" Javier asked, starting to feel a littl
The dining room was spacious, and the table was laden with a variety of mouthwatering dishes. Ramona was drawn to the Alphas and their Lunas, who were all dressed immaculately for breakfast.While they waited for Ramona and Caspian, they were all conversing. As soon as they entered the room, everyone stopped what they were doing and focused on them.Ramona smiled at the Lunas who returned their smiles.They took their seats and everyone bowed their heads at them.Caspian cleared his throat, taking the small knife in his grip. "I'm surprised Lorenzo didn't motivate you all to begin breakfast without us.""Oh he did." Alpha Francesco chuckled.Lorenzo maintained a serene smile on his face totally ignoring their words."How wonderful would it be if we enjoyed breakfast without any bickering." Ludovica muttered in disapproval and elegantly placed her food in her mouth."This is a rare occasion. I mean, you all always chose to do your things without inviting us during times like this." Vale
Suffocating tension filled the air.Caspian stared at his mate in shock, her words to Declan echoing continuously in his head. That asshole had tried to kill his mate?"What are you talking about?" Declan asked, laughing nervously.That question provoked Ramona as evidenced from her darkened expression. "Ramona... I... I'm here to...""Enough with your blabbering. I won't hesitate to kill you if you say one more word that will infuriate me." Ramona growled with full displeasure, golden scales forming beneath her eyes.Declan clamped his mouth shut and nodded slowly.Caspian raised his brows surprised by the asshole. He was actually terrified of Ramona. His lips twitched. He wondered what more she was capable of."And you." Ramona hissed and looked at Caspian, her golden gaze filled with fury. Caspian's smile vanished and felt cold at that gaze. "Darling.""Tell me why he's here and what has been going on beneath my back or I'm going to do something that I won't regret but will affec
Angelo fell to the ground, breathing hard then looked at Justice who had an enraged expression."You should have asked!" Justice yelled then crossed his arms on his chest. "Why didn't you ask?""I... Um.. I was too hurt to do that." Angelo said slowly and lowered his head. "The realization that you didn't remember bothered me more than your sleeping with other people."Justice lowered his arms and expressed surprise by widening his eyes. He approached Angelo, knelt down, leaned his face closer, and they locked eyes."All those years ago, you always hung around me, but all of a sudden, you stopped, giving me the impression that I did something wrong. You were hurt by me, so you avoided me completely." Justice murmured before sighing. "I'm really sorry.""I spent more time with you than usual because you were my mate, but I wasn't yours because you and your brother were meant to share one just like your fathers and your mother... Your bloodline. The urge to mark you just...""Do you want
Justice pressed the throttle pedal and sped through the open road. He had announced a lockdown, but he didn't do it quickly enough to stop the others who were already dead. He rode in more quickly out of frustration, and Angelo, who was sitting next to him, seemed somewhat concerned that something worse than an accident would happen but decided not to say anything.When a thunderclap resounded, Angelo opened the window and peered out to see the clouds just over them turning ominously dark.His hazel eyes blazed, then changed to a blue beast form. "They intend to use magic to create darkness." He told Justice who frowned deeply."Bastards." Looking up towards the highway, specifically where the clouds were erupting from, he grumbled.As the smell of blood permeated the air, Angelo breathed deeply. Grunts and blasts rang in his ears, and he scowled deeply when he realized that the majority of the troops sent to subjugate the mages were long dead.He had already given the command to eve
Ramona was startled and flew downward. As a piercing golden glow engulfed her, she abruptly changed into her human form and landed firmly on her feet. The earth beneath her feet cracked and the strong impact blasted the mist making it dissolve.Ramona panickedly peered about. There was no sign of the mages, nor... "Angelo!"Her breath was short as her eyes scanned the area around her. She had her powers locked up for a long period, so it took a lot of time and effort for her to fully unleash them. She was unable to join the fight earlier because of this.She was instantly terrified by Angelo's startling cry, and she knew she had to use force to unleash her powers.She put her hand on her chest and started to stroll around, still gazing around. Her body jerkily tingled as she spat forth blood. Consequences of attempting to force her powers.She resolved to make use of herself before her body gave out on her, coughing again. She still had a familiar, strong magic sense and could still d
Later that night, in the luminous and adorned castle, Caspian, Lorenzo, and Javier were arranging the gifts beneath the heavily ornamented tree that towered over the room.Seated on the cushion, Ramona, Tiana, and Michelle were laughing and chatting while sipping hot coffee.Stepping into the room, Roman stared at the flame rising and dancing above his palm. Dante, who was in his arms, was looking curiously at the fire and clapping excitedly."Playing with a child in that manner is not appropriate." Justice bemoaned to Roman, who appeared to be completely deaf, while carrying a small child who bore a striking resemblance to Tiana."He will not listen to you." Angelo said, walking behind him with two identical toddler boys in his arms.Justice scoffed, looking at the little girl and poking her cute little face. "What do you think, Bella? Isn't that dangerous?"Bella only nodded shyly and buried her face in his chest.Justice chuckled. "Why don't we open the gifts now that dinner is ove
*Six months later*"Check out this gorgeous ring! Look at this freaking ring!" Roman glared, his eyes like stars, as he repeatedly shoved his ringed hand in Ramona's face. He did not really stop when Ramona continued to push his hand away, groaning in frustration as she did so."I got it! Javier proposed to you and Michelle!" Ramona lost her temper and slapped his hand off."Yes!" At last, Roman took his hand off her face and straightened up.Ramona groaned, rolling her eyes. "Shuu!""Come on, come on. You and Caspian have already tied the knot, your love has remained strong, you have a child together, and their kind and our kind are now very close.""And you keep bringing me to Eonia." Ramona gave him a stern look. Roman sat beside her, giving a rose he had picked from the rose bush next to them."Tell me about this thing called marriage." He blinked naively and whispered."It is demanding, but you are capable of handling it." Ramona muttered and took the rose from him."I am not su
Rushing into Angelo's room, they were all stunned to find without Angelo.Gwydion took a deep breath, adding more pressure to the tension and ran his fingers through his hair in frustration. "The spell is still on.""How is that possible?" Lorenzo asked, completely shocked.Declan shook his head. "That old hag is always one step ahead."Roman smiled, raising his brows continuously. "That old hag seems to be your object of desire. I am going to dig my hands into her chest, so you better confess. Or would you rather see her black heart in my hands?"Declan winced at those words. "Haha! Great joke."Roman tsked, his fingers clenched. "We better find him then. Did you not put a tracking spell on him? He will definitely lead us to my sister, I am confident.""I do not think it would be a good idea if we all went." Pursing her lips, Tiana muttered."Well..." Tommaso's voice shot out from behind."More bad news?" They all turned to face an extremely tense Tommaso, and Justice asked with a fak
Ramona took a deep breath, feeling her throat tighten even more than it had before. Her body was hurting and cramping all over, and she could feel her body heating up to an extremely high temperature. Her heart was also beating so slowly. It did not matter that she was pregnant—a dragon like her was meant to be this hot.Feeling a small itch on her body, she let out a loud groan of discomfort as she tried to move her body. Nevertheless, there was no solace to be found from the excitement at which the chains shackles around her ankles rattled. Rather, the sound simply made her feel more agitated, and she gritted her teeth in an attempt to break through with what little strength she had left. It was pointless.She had no idea that she would become this heavily pregnant and find herself locked in a dark basement until three months prior, when Nessa abducted her and threw her down the basement stairs.She had been sleeping on the hard wooden floor, being fed by some mages who possessed h
*Three months later.*Dalerie remained a thriving empire of wolf shifters, blissfully unaware of the darkness lurking in the shadows.Even though most of them had seen the castle fall apart without warning, they were not shocked when it was rebuilt as good as new by the following day.The news of the old mage's desires had spread throughout Dalerie, and magic had once again returned.Still, the castle looked grim as ever. With Ramona being abducted by Nessa without any updates despite the combined efforts of the wolves and dragons, Caspian trapped in his lycan form and fully unleashing his dark powers, and Angelo remaining under Nessa's control but suitably imprisoned in a space that rendered him completely weak.....At the spot where Caspian was meant to be in the elders' chamber, Tommaso stood with his arms crossed over his chest and a serious expression on his face.The other elders appeared highly concerned. "We acknowledge that Dalerie was not destroyed by the chaos that occurre
Caspian pinched the skin between his brows, gritting his teeth harshly as he did so. "I do not have time for this.""Neither do I!" Ramona snarled, golden scales forming beneath her eyes. She yanked away from him, rushed out of the elevator and pressed the button to close the doors before he could step out."Find Justice!" She yelled, running away in the ballroom's direction.Caspian sighed deeply, fighting the urge to knock down the doors in order to go after her. Finding Justice was the only thing he could do at the moment.Sadly, as the doors opened, revealing the old mage, he knew right away that they weren't thinking about the same thing.She stepped back, giggling, "Happy birthday, my handsome grandson."There was no emotion on Caspian's face, no words, no feelings. He moved past her, hands tucked into his pockets, his gaze narrowing as he started to smell only blood."Gwydion.""He is not dead, though. At least not right now." Nessa appeared in front of him, causing him to halt
He forced his claws into the wall, squeezed his eyes shut, and inhaled deeply while Justice only held him firmly and launched a stronger blow that left him gasping for air. Feeling the heat of the cum on his hands, Justice found his release, rubbing Angelo's cock. He grinned as he felt Angelo quiver against him. "Was I too rough?" He asked, resting his jaw on Angelo's shoulder while pressing his chest against his back. Angelo laughed between his breaths. "It felt really good.""Hmm." Justice trailed his lips up to his neck and kissed his shoulder. "Do you think I am selfish?"Angelo nibbled on his bottom lip. Justice's open mouth kisses on his neck and hardened length inside him kept him turned on, sending electric sparks into his soul. He drew in a long breath. "You are not selfish. You are just..." Suddenly there was a scream, straight out of the dungeon. Angelo's eyes widened, processing that sound in his mind. "Father?""Fuck!" Justice emerged slowly and dressed up swiftly.A
Following an intense sex, Caspian and Ramona showered and changed into fancier attires. Dressed in matching white, they drew attention to themselves as they entered the ballroom, which was crowded with well-known wolf shifters from throughout Dalerie. Overall, the music was enjoyable, and the chatter was kept to a minimum. A considerable number of people were already dancing, while others engaged in conversation, mingled, and consumed alcohol.Sighing, Caspian squeezed Ramona's hand in his and squinted at his grandfather, who was merrily chatting with the other elderly people in the room. "Cas." He was drawn to Ramona when she called.His eyes met hers, and he grinned. "I am fine.""Hey!" Justice showed up on the scene, beaming like a child. "Isn't this party amazing?"Ramona nodded, a smile on her face. "Certainly."Caspian remained silent."Hey. We did it all for you! Pretend to like it even if you don't." Javier strolled over to them, murmuring indignantly with Roman and Michelle
Caspian narrowed his eyes at his computer, finally growing weary of paperwork. His only desire after the events of the previous several days was to spend the entire day sleeping with Ramona in his arms. Taking a deep breath, he removed his glasses and massaged his face. Indiana's voice whispered in his ears, "Hello there, handsome," as the door opened to reveal her. She shut the door behind her and walked over to him, grinning brightly and sensually. "What are you doing here?" Donning his glasses, he asked ."To wish you a happy birthday." Indiana placed her hand on his shoulders, stood behind him, and giggled."Get your hands off me." Caspian scowled intensely. "Oh?" Indiana quickly withdrew her hand, looking shocked by him, feigned a grin, and stepped aside. "Your birthday is never fun for you. Since this is essentially the worst day of your life, you would prefer that no one ever send you well wishes. Manipulated to end the life of a loved one, doesn't that make you feel bad?""W
