Chapter 102________________Kaden's POV…“Seriously? How f****** hard is it for you to catch a single f****** rabbit!” I couldn't help but yell at Caddel. He seemed nonchalant about the whole thing, and that only added to my vexation. We've been out here for two hours now trying to catch any single animal, but it's impossible with Caddel fooling around; precisely, he's grown too lazy.“What's the big deal?” he rolled his eyes, leaning on a large rock. “I mean, the palace has more than enough meat for us to even consume. So, why the f*** do you keep stressing yourself?” he added laxly. I almost snapped and shot the arrow at him. Then again, taking what he said into consideration does make sense, but that doesn't give us a reason to be so lenient—aren't we the supposed warrior wolves of the pack? The entire pack would fall if an attack were to happen, and we are weak, right? I've been trying to reason with Caddel, but he's too thick-headed to understand shit. “I bet you don't even kn
Chapter 103________________Daciana's POV...All eyes were fixed on me yet I didn't give a damn. There's something about this maid that just doesn't seat well with me. Firstly, she got recruited without my consent.The elders are also aware how waryof I've been about maids after Mary's betrayal, yet no one informed me - doesn't that sound strange? The maid in particular gave out a gentle and sweet smile. "Forgive me my Luna but I'm sorry to say, you must be mistaking me for someone else" She smiled with her head lowered to the ground. I kept a steady gaze on her until Dorian tapped me softly - unknowingly, I'd been staring way too oddly at her. I breathed, then waved my hand, dismissing them. Afterward, I dung into the meal without minding the others. I'm sure...I know her somewhere - okay maybe we've never met before but there's something familiar about her.‘Might it be her scent?’ I wandered tactfully. I couldn't eat properly due to how much I was thinking. So I placed the fork
Chapter 104______________Dorian's POV…“I am so f****** tired! Beta Dorian, can we please take a break?” that was a request coming from the delta who accompanied me to the village. Currently, we were all riding our respective horses, and I glanced to look at him. Considering his request, it does make sense he needs to take a break because we are all so f****** tired—I have been working my ass throughout the break of dawn. And trust me, all I want right now is to submerge myself in a hot bath.Then again, that can't be possible until all work has been completed. “No. If we slack off, there's no guarantee when we'll return to the pack. I know you all are exhausted, but please endure!” I declined his request while simultaneously encouraging them. Afterward, there was silence as we continued to ride to the village.Never did I know being a beta could be so f****** hectic; before I got dethroned, being an alpha wasn't much of a hassle. Then why the hell is being a beta so f****** tiresom
Chapter 105________________Dorian's POV…I understand why Daciana is so skeptical about letting Ashina in, but it's not like I'm not. It's f****** weird how she was injured when I just arrived in the village. Of course, it does seem odd, but that isn't a reason not to help her. Ashina can be very scheming, then again I have to consider her health before thinking about any schemes. Can't Daciana see how profusely she's bleeding? Aside from the fact that she is a werewolf, she might die if nothing is done to help her. Although I'm a bit confused why her injury has refused to heal on its own when she has regenerative cells. I have enough time in the world to worry about that, but for now, she needs urgent help. “Luna please!” I cried. “I'm willing to be punished if you guarantee you will help her. Moreover, she isn't completely a stranger; She was birthed in this pack” I tried to reason with Daciana, but it seems she wants to be hard-headed. “And how is that my business? Beta Dorian,
Chapter 106_________________Writer's POVStaring blankly out the window, she couldn't stop reminiscing about the day's event. Her fight with Dorian had left a painful sting in her heart, and no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't. As much as she badly wants to believe that she is right and Dorian is wrong, her subconscious won't agree with her. Daciana is aware of how Dorian values his friends more than anything, yet she tried to hinder him from saving Ashina. It infuriates her like crazy that Dorian still cares for Ashina despite her close relationship with Henry. Never will she be able to get over the fact that Henry tried to rape her. And just knowing that Ashina is his beta makes her blood boil. “Why can't that f****** dumbass understand my perspective?” she hushed as she strolled back to her bed. Falling flatly on it, she continued gaping at the ceiling with numerous thoughts flooding her head. Although it was almost late at night and a knock persisted on her door.
Chapter 107_________________Writer's POV…Dorian couldn't quite possibly comprehend what Daciana's blabbing about. He understands that the alliance had either been signed by one of them, but he can reassure her that it wasn't him. He has been trying his possible best to tell her that, but she's too angry to reason. “Don't f****** say anything you stupid traitor. How could you do something so outrageous, Dorian? Huh! Are you interested in Ashina? If you were that interested in that bitch, then why the hell did you deceive me?” she shouted continuously. As much as he understands the cause of her provocation, he can't help but get angry too. She is not entitled to hit him carelessly or judge him without listening to his side of the story. “The argument looks very heated” Caddel whispered, without referring to anyone. He, Conri, and Kaden were all ogling at the scene between the two mates—they'll be damned to interfere, but that doesn't mean they can't watch. “I know right? It seems
Chapter 108________________Daciana's POV…All I could feel At that moment was the overwhelming desire to f*** Dorian up badly. Because of this jerk, I am here exchanging words with this lowlife bitch. After the annual ceremony a few months ago I concluded that I would never set my eyes on Ashina until the day I die—I f****** despise her existence; I despise the fact that I breathe in the same air that she does—it kills me to the core just knowing she f****** likes my mate. Even before I discovered that Dorian was my mate, I never, for once, liked her. The other day, when he brought her back into the pack, I had a hard time controlling my urge to snap her neck off; he can't tell me he isn't aware of how much I despise her. I know he does, then why the hell would he sign the f****** allegiance?Is he thrilled by my harsh attitude towards Ashina or what? Presently, I refused to allow Ashina and the other wolves into the palace—they have to move my dead body away from the gates before
Chapter 109____________ Daciana pov.I was still locked up in my thoughts when I realized the time had passed a little bit. They might be all waiting for me down the hall but I was here thinking of something I wasn't sure of yet. Nevertheless, I hope my insinuations better be probed wrong, or else hell will break loose. I was already clad in a magnificent blue gown that showed my figure, vigorously.n second thought, I hoped Dorian would be pleased to see me like this.I stepped out after a light knock came up on the door which disrupted my senses. My face turned steeled cold before I started striding forward towards the door entrance. "My lady, the elders are awaiting your arrival" a maid spoke across the door.I replied to her with silence and walked out of my fort. My eyes moved around and I still couldn't find Avalon.She just couldn't crawl out of my mind, I am still suspicious but for now, I had to bury it all up and face the party up ahead.The maids prostrated their heads
Chapter 245Writers POV______Dorian started blankly at the wider space. He ran out of what to do or say. He was like a puppet that was abandoned and waiting to be junked.His mate was still dead in his arms and his son left off to somewhere he knew nothing of.Maybe he deserved this for being a worthless father and also a pathetic mate.“Don't be a fool, go save your son” Ana appeared out of the blue and shouted at him but he ignored her, not being able to move at all. It seemed that all his nerves stopped working.Quickly Ana stooped down to the floor towards him, just now she was sure she felt a pulse from Daciana and that must mean she was still alive, for now at least “Do you want to save her?” She thundered at Dorian who was still frozen, but those words looked to have breathed life inside him, and he gasped and nodded towards her…” then go kill that which quickly, if you can, then Daciana will live” she added, and dragged Daciana off his arms.He didn't flinch, but rather his
Chapter 244Writers POV_________“Isn't that Mom?” Bryan asked with dilated eyes.The alarming sound was more of a groan, someone was hurt, and that was Daciana.Quickly both Dorian and Bryan set off, they strode as fast as their legs could talk them back to the hut.When they got to the front, there was no one around, so they got inside instead. Upon entering what the both of them saw left their mouths hung open.Daciana was shivering extremely, as though she were undergoing a severe panic attack. Her body kept on vibrating uncontrollably and her eyes turned white.“Mom?” Bryan called out worriedly and jumped toward her, grabbed her off Ana who was holding on to her, and scooped her into his arms.“Bryan…” she groaned weakly, barely clinging to life. Her expression was sour, and she was in immense pain.It happened right after both Dorian and Bryan left. Out of the blue, the remnants of energy that was in her slipped away and were replaced with pain, an unsustainable one.“Daciana?
Chapter 243Writers POV_____Bryan walked off with a mixture of both emotions and hatred in his heart. His dad, that man he had always wanted to see out of the ice was now out, but he couldn't bring himself to accept the fact that all those years he had been longing for a father.A father who never appeared until after twenty-one years. After he had grown into an adult and learned to accept some things weren't meant to be.Bryan felt as though his family was somewhat cursed. There had never been peace talk less of parental love to him.At least he understood his mom, she was there with him right after birth and also a year after.Nevertheless, he was able to see her day after day as she was trapped in a slumber. That alone can be considered compared to the situation his dad was in.Lost inside his thought he knew not when he strode off the hut far wide and was now towards the beach. The calm waft of the beach blew past his face, swaying his hair side to side and giving him a bit of
Chapter 242Writers POV________The atmospheric condition of the vicinity turned cold and began to drop rapidly.Two people were trapped in a love circle once more, the glint of emotion flashing in their eyes was just too much, beyond what words can explain.Daciana forgot her past, she forgot all that happened, and that hatred was replaced with belongingness. Likewise, Dorian set his eyes on her. How he had wished for this moment to happen.All these years he had been trapped for eternity, he thought he would lose everything he had, all the hope he earned, but at the last bit of it crashing, it took a turn and happened instead.Time froze and both of them hugged. Many emotions were triggered and tears began to stream down uncontrollably.“I missed you” she muttered longingly to her mate, the one who she had earnestly fought for but here he was, right in her arms.“I miss toou to Dtooiana, my love, I apologize for causing you too much worry and pain. I don't deserve those tears. I de
Chapter 241 DACIANA'S POV----I looked at Bryan who was seated in a corner of the hut crossed legged with his eyes closed.He seemed to have merged with his surroundings at the moment. I couldn't help but smile when I saw it.I didn't expect him to get it so fast. I knew there was no witch or wizard nearby to teach Bryan how to use his powers for over the past twenty years.So I was sure his abilities must have been left untapped. Even though I was sure Ana would have taught him how to use his other ability I still couldn't help but be sad for some moments.Since I knew I had not much time left, I had decided to teach him how to use his other ability.But before that I wanted him to achieve his peak state. I wanted him to be one with the world just like I had felt twenty years ago.Even though I didn't know if Bryan would be able to achieve that state I still gave it a try.It was only if he became one with the world that he would understand his powers better.So I had no choice but
Chapter 240DORIAN'S POV----"It's time to go." A voice said, making me open my eyes.But to my surprise, it was all pitch dark and I was able to see anything."Where's this place," I muttered under my breath."Relax, you were my visitor and now it's time for you to leave or else you'll never be able to return." The voice sounded again.I frowned as I couldn't understand what the voice meant by not being able to return.When did I come here in the first place? I tried to remember what happened last before I fell asleep but my head was blank."Don't worry, you'll remember all that happened once you get back home." The voice spoke again and seemed to have read my thoughts."Where am I?" I frowned looking around.Even though I couldn't see anything because of the darkness, that didn't stop me from asking."You're in the realm of darkness." The voice replied."How did I get here?" I asked again."As for how you got here, it's not for you to know." The voice replied."How long have I been
Chapter 239WRITER'S POV----"It's about time." A voice muttered in the darkness sending shivers down the spine of anyone who might be nearby.But luckily, there was no one nearby. So no one was scared to the point they would pee in their pants."I never expected it to take so long." The voice continued and suddenly a small white light was seen.This was the figure's eyes, the place was so dark that the figure's eyes were able to slightly illuminate the place.Next, the crackling of bones was heard as the figure stood up."Oohhh!"A moan was emitted from the figure when the crackling was completed."It's time to leave. I hope you're all still alive so I'll be able to have my fill." The figure laughed and disappeared from the place."So this is what it feels to bask in the sun." The figure smiles, glancing at the sky while looking at the sun.One could see the outline of the figure now, it was a female.It was Laura, her appearance hadn't changed over the past twenty years.After fi
Chapter 238______Daciana's POV.I was one with the world, feeling the different life forces of every living thing around me. The air was soothing, and the birds kept chirping.My chest was heavily burdened, and I wasn't even sure of what I was doing at the moment.Subsequently, I appeared out of thin air, with Dorian still trapped in the ice. My eyes were weak, and I looked to have lost every bit of energy inside me.I just lost control and I wasn't confident that I would ever be able to save myself.Suddenly, out of the blue, I heard some familiar voices. I looked up and surprisingly I saw Ana and the head maid.How was this possible? I thought, and my head began to throb. My eyes were becoming heavy, but seeing Bryan up ahead in Ana's arms was earning me a cling to reality.I didn't realize I was able to teleport, but I did today, and now I appeared just a few feet from my son. For a brief moment, my sadness was replaced with a smile and I triumphantly wanted to hold him tight alr
Chapter 237Writers POV_______Back inside Laura's chamber.“Ooh, I see, daciana has gotten away. Shit!” Laura exclaimed with gritted teeth, her gaze stared blankly at the window frame, and she couldn't help but feel disgusted.“Thank God, it's time for me to finish you off” Ashina chipped in, making Laura shelve her thoughts.Heaving a scoff, Laura did a robotic turn with her head to look at who just spoke. There were two enemies presented before her, and they are the cause of which Daciana was able to escape.“There's no surviving for you, both of you" she snarled at them, pointing an index finger at the witch and Ashina who was raging furiously.Deep down, Ashina felt grateful that Daciana was capable of escaping. Though both of them didn't get a chance smooth things, at least she got a chance to fight for her. That alone meant something, even if it doesn't to Daciana, it meant a lot to her. Besides, she still couldn't pay off the pain she had caused Daciana all those years.This
