"I won't let them hurt you," Jade vowed, staring intently into Kalista's tearful eyes. "I will protect you with my life, even if I have to choose you over my own pack" Kalista felt her heart flutter at his words. She tried to smile as he wiped her tears. "You would do that for me?" she whispered. "I will do whatever it takes to protect you," Jade replied and gently kissed her. ... Kalista, leading a quiet life in the human world changes her fate when she discovers a mysterious gem in the forest. This discovery unveils her true identity as a halfblood; a forbidden creature that isn't meant to exist; half-human, half-werewolf, mated to Jade, the Alpha Prince. Alpha Jade, the most powerful and strongest lycan ever, lost his parents to his evil uncle and now, avenging their death is the only thing he can think of. On his quest to find the Soul Gem that was stolen, he finds his mate, a halfblood who possesses part of the powers of the gem. She becomes his obsession and he was prepared to destroy the entire realm to keep her safe. As both humans and werewolves pose a threat to her due to the gem's powers she possesses, and her forbidden existence, Kalista has no one to rely on for protection except her mate. But when trials and conspiracies arise against them, with Jade's evil uncle threatening to destroy the entire world with the Soul Gem he stole, only one thing can save them both, and the world. The sacrifice of a halfblood. Will Jade stand back and watch his mate give her life to save the world?
View MoreIn a cave beneath the magnificent palace of the lycanthropes, an unknown man wearing a black cloak moved under the cover of darkness and crept stealthily down the tunnel, towards the warriors at the far end.
The warriors were obviously guarding something because a bright blue glow emitted from the cave behind them.The unknown man crept further, using the darkness of the cave as a perfect cover to shield his movements.The warriors conversed in low tones, oblivious to the man creeping silently towards them.When he was close enough, the unknown man brought out a set of tiny needles and a hollow pipe. He inserted the needles into the pipe and quietly raised it to his mouth.One by one, he blew sharply through the pipe, sending the needles flying through the air until it found its mark.Twelve lycan warriors all fell down unconscious as the needle sunk into their skins. They wouldn't die though, but they would be unconscious for about an hour.He had to move quickly.The man slipped into the cave at the end of the tunnel. Once inside, he took off the dark cloak and the glow from the room shone on his appearance.He was a shifter, but not a lycan. A common werewolf, one of the lowest rank in the shifter's hierarchy. An omega. He looked sick, skin pale from some sort of disease and his hands shook as he put the hollow pipe away.His pale grey eyes lit up with awe when his gaze fell on the glowing Gem in the middle of the cave. It was this Gem the warriors had been guarding, the sacred Soul Gem of the lycanthropes.Rumours had it that the Gem had the greatest power in the entire world. It could grant the owner his greatest desire and it was told to be a beacon for good luck. Whoever had the Soul Gem in his possession was considered blessed by the moon goddess.The Soul Gem had been in the possession of the lycanthropes and their land had been prospering wealthily. Soon enough, other creatures began to covet the sacred Gem. They wanted it for themselves.The unknown man moved cautiously towards the Gem that glowed enticingly in the middle of the cave, floating in midair.Suddenly an arrow shot out from the wall and flew through the air towards him.The man was quick enough and he dodged it. A dozen arrows followed suit, intent on killing him, but the man had already anticipated it.He shifted into his wolf, a scrawny looking brown wolf and moved swiftly across the room. The arrows all missed him and he finally collapsed close to the Gem, breathing heavily.He slowly shifted back to his human form and his weak eyes scanned the room for any more booby traps."I should have known the Gem would be heavily guarded",he muttered to himself.As he slowly pushed himself up, he raised one of his hand and stared at it. It was slowly decaying. He was dying away."I must hurry",he urged himself. "I do not have much time"He straightened to his feet quickly and hurried towards the Gem."At last",he breathed out, eyes gleaming with triumph. "The Soul Gem is mine. I shall become immortal, and rule over the entire world"He took out a pouch from his pockets and slowly stretched his hand towards the floating Gem.When his weak fingers grasped it, he gasped. The Gem was freezing cold, and soon ice began to crawl up his hand.The decay in his arms slowly healed up as power from the Gem surged into his body. The wrinkles in his body disappeared and the once haggard looking old man became as young as a man in his youth.The man stared at his strong arms in awe, his eyes gleaming with glee and triumph."The rumours were right",he whispered. "The Soul Gem holds unimaginable powers"Moving quickly, he placed the Soul Gem inside the pouch and tied the string to keep it safe.Just as he turned around to leave, the cave shook. The earth trembled violently and debris clattered from the ceiling.As quickly as it begun, the trembling subsided again."I must leave now",he whispered, his eyes darting around the cave that had gone dark with the absence of the glowing Gem.Soon the lycan warriors would awaken from the sleeping drug he injected into them with the needles. He needed to exit the cave now.He turned around and was about to hurry out of the cave when he froze suddenly.There was a woman standing at the entrance of the cave, staring at him in puzzlement. She stepped further into the cave and her eyes widened when she saw that the Soul Gem was gone.She turned her cold eyes on the man and slowly, fury took over her expression."What have you done?",she demanded in a powerful voice. "Where is the Soul Gem?"The man sneered and charged towards her.He tried to move past her and escape through the entrance but the woman was quicker. She blocked the door with her body and her hands slowly shifted, transforming into a set of sharp claws."How dare you steal the Soul Gem?",she thundered in her powerful voice."Get out of my way woman",the man snarled at her. "I didn't risk my life to get this Gem, only to be defeated by you""Give it back",the woman growled threateningly, her eyes flashing red for a brief second."Never",the man growled back at her and he moved swiftly towards her again.The woman lifted her claws and was about to strike him when she felt something stab into her side.The man had whipped out a dagger and plunged it into the woman's side, and he took a step back, smiling evilly.Scrunching up her face at the pain in her side, the woman let out a loud growl, so powerful that it shook the cave. She succeeded in striking the man backwards before she collapsed on the ground."Arrrrh!",she cried out as she pulled the dagger out. Blood slowly pooled beneath her.The unknown man chuckled as he picked himself from the ground.He dipped his hand into the pouch and took out the Soul Gem, staring at it like one possessed."The Soul Gem is mine",he gloated and laughed triumphantly."You won't get away with this",the woman snarled at him, but she could feel herself growing weaker. Her vision turned grey around the edges and it was getting difficult for her to breathe.The unknown man chuckled again and placed the Soul Gem back in his pouch."You can't stop me",he voiced out with a triumphant look. "You were dead right from the moment I stabbed you with the poisonous dagger"The woman watched in despair as the man stepped over her and walked out freely.Before she breathed her last, she tried to send a mind link to her mate but she was growing weaker. Her mind became muddled as her vision blurred and slowly faded.Slowly, death claimed her....Please vote for the story as you read. It would really encourage me. Lots of love."Tell me Salem," Jade snapped at her. "What is the curse? What will happen to my mate?"Salem shut her eyes so she wouldn't see the fear in Jade's eyes. If Jade knew what would happen to Kalista, it would break him. "Jade think about this," she tried to discourage him, but Jade was adamant."If you don't tell me, I will find out myself."Salem took a deep breath and let it out shakily. "Taking a unicorn's horn at first will kill it, because the horn is the source of their magic. It is like their life force. When cut off, it unbalances a unicorn's life. And after a while, the creature would die."Salem paused, trying to find ways to soften her words. But there was no other way. No matter how she put it, it would sound terrible."Well?" Jade prodded her when she remained silent."The unicorn would live for a few weeks trying to heal itself with its magic," Salem continued. "But in the end when it dies, whoever took its horn would die with it."It took Jade a moment to understand what
You have a lot of explaining to do, Soren Tobias," Salem said in a hard voice.Roland, whose real name was Soren took a deep breath and spread his hands in a helpless gesture. "After all these years," Mathius shook his head. "I never thought I would see the ancient elf return to this village.""Salem, I know I owe you an apology." Soren began."You damn well do," Salem snapped. "You leave this village without a word to anyone, not even me, and you think you can just waltz back in and everyone will receive you with open arms?"Soren sighed. "Hear me out first," he pleaded. "And if you still feel I'm not welcomed here, I'll leave peacefully."His words silenced Salem and she folded her arms before her."Start talking," she said....Jade stared at his mate as she lay asleep in his arms. He gently tucked in the damp strands of hair behind her ear and leaned forward slightly, placing a soft kiss on her lips. On the side of her neck, a magnificent golden mark sat prominently. It was a be
"You came back to me," Kalista whispered as she threw herself into Jade's arms, her eyes filled with fresh tears.Jade said nothing as he relished the feel of his mate in his embrace, the sparks of the mate bond tingling his skin. How he had missed those sparks. He buried his nose in the crook of her neck, inhaling her sweet scent. He had missed her.Orion moved closer to Salem and lightly touched her hand."Let's give them some privacy," he whispered to her.Salem nodded and quietly left the temple, with Orion and Mathius behind her. Seeing how Jade held Kalista like his life depended on it made her remember memories with her late husband.It had been so long since she felt a man's sincere touch. Her eyes fell on Orion and she quickly looked away before he could catch her staring. She knew Orion would never be hers, so she tried as much as she could to suppress her feelings."How is the Alpha, mistress Salem?" one of the young witches asked the question that was burning a hole in e
Everywhere had gone dark when the mist surrounded Kalista and Roland. It was just like that moment when she and Jade arrived at the village of the mist for the first time. She waited a few seconds and slowly opened her eyes. They were no longer in the forest. She could see the familiar mountains in the distance. They were in the village.It was when she finally allowed herself to relax that she noticed Roland's arm wrapped around her waist.Instantly feeling uncomfortable, she pushed out of his embrace and stared at him suspiciously."What?" Roland shrugged innocently."Don't you dare give me that helpless look," Kalista snapped, hands planted on her hips. "You have a lot of explaining to do. What are you? I know you're not human. How did you know about this village? How did you know about the rune? How did you make the rune glow so brightly..."Roland just stood back and watched her with a small smile. He had fallen. So hard. It took him just two days to be with her and he realized

Kalista tore through the forest like her life depended on it, which in a way, it did. As she ran, her eyes darted all around her. The moon was hidden behind thick blankets of clouds and there were no stars in the sky so the entire forest was plunged in darkness.But Kalista could see clearly. Her vision had been enhanced and so she ran without stopping. Occasionally she would look behind her, terrified that the humans were catching up with her but each time she turned, all she saw was darkness. Soon she got to the river, just as Roland had explained. Then she turned north and continued running. Roland had told her not to wait for him and she wouldn't. For a moment, she forgot about Roland and how strange he suddenly became. All she wanted was to return to the village of the mist and save Jade. He was all that mattered at that point.Soon she began to recognize where she was. That particular part of the forest looked so familiar and that was when she realized that she was on the pat
"Drop the dagger! Now!"Percival's voice was both hard and harsh, and when Kalista saw the look in his eyes, she knew he was serious."I didn't want it to come to this," she said out loud and whirled around. With inhumane speed, she brandished the dagger and slashed off the horn of the unicorn."NO!" Percival yelled and charged towards her, sword gleaming in his hand.Kalista turned and faced him, dagger in one hand and the unicorn's horn in the other. Her eyes fell on the sharp tip of Percival's sword and she panicked.In that swift moment of panic, her eyes shifted, glowing bright gold. Her wolf surfaced she accidentally shifted. Wicked looking claws and pure white fur emerged from her hands and sharp pointed canines tore out of her mouth.Percival stopped halfway, his eyes opened in horror. He gazed at Kalista's half transformation and realization slowly dawned on him."You're not human," his voice came out hoarse and filled with horror. "You're a lycan. You killed those men! Damn
Percival had just changed into his knight amour and was about to step outside when his eyes fell on the empty tray of food he had just consumed.A thought formed in his head. Maybe he could see Kalista before he began his night shift. He wanted her to get used to his presence around her.Also, though he tried to deny it, he also wanted to make sure she was in her room. He still had his suspicions about her and he felt she was connected to the beast somehow.Maybe it was all in his head. But it wouldn't hurt to be sure.He grabbed his sword and stepped outside the room.On his way to the inn, he met the other knights and he issued out orders to each of them, reminding them of the perimeters they were to guard.As the other knights hurried off to stand guard in their respective spots, Percival continued towards the inn.A second later, he halted and a frown settled on his face. Kalista was a few meters ahead of him, dressed in a dark cloak with the hood pulled tightly over her head. Her
"What's on your mind?" Roland asked as he strolled beside Kalista.They were on the path that led to the royal stables. Kalista had been lost in thoughts. The memories of the previous night played repeatedly in her mind amd she couldn't believe she had shifted uncontrollably again and killed people.It reminded her of what occurred in Northville before Jade took her away, how she had shifted uncontrollably and hurt people. "Are you worried about the murder of last night?" Roland asked again when Kalista remained quiet."Yes," Kalista lied, which was not really a lie. She was worried about someone discovering what she was. "Who knows when this beast would show up again. How can one be safe?""You don't have to worry about any of that," Roland assured her. "If the beast shows itself a second time, we will destroy it."Kalista said nothing else and just nodded. If only Roland knew the beast was walking beside him. She really needed to get the unicorn's horn and leave before something te
