Chapter 16
* Dorian's POV *" Is this your way of trying to belittle my power? " I asked gently.I could see her raised brow even through her masked face." Are you openly picking a fight with me, Alpha Dorian? " She asked with a tiny scoff on her lips." I'm not trying to pick a fight, I don't see anything wrong in questioning you Luna Daciana," I said flatly and I could hear Caddel's silent gasps wondering where I going the sudden bravery from but seriously I wasn't acting rude, I was just pissed off.She had no right to do that, maybe I'm not only pissed off because of this but still." Do you realize the consequences of what you're doing right now? " She asked, sounding more stern than usual and I knew she found my words offensive." I don't mean to be offensive my queen but you have no right to back off wars on my behalf. I can handle things myself and you just made us look powerless to them " I said and for the very first time, she chuckled, dryly.She leaned back against the seat and sat more comfortably." That wasn't the plan but if this is also in it, I can't be more than happy," She said with a sarcastic laugh making me raise my brows." She means every word, " Adalwolf said in my head." What do you mean? " I questioned but he was out." But you should be happy I did because this so-called war would have been a total disaster. Your kingdom would have lost for the first time. I could sense death... " She said like a seer seeing the vision right before she would say." Deaths, deaths of your loved ones. " She glanced at Caddel who shrink lightly.I couldn't see but I guessed it happened, a smirk played on her lips." Don't dare me, Alpha Dorian, instead say thank you " She said and then got on her feet before walking out of view." She isn't right about that, is she? " Caddel asked behind me." I can't read minds, can I? " I replied simply." I don't think she can see visions, or does she? " Kaden added." Who knows " I replied simply and then shut my eyes lightly." She sounds like she has a thing against me " I muttered to their hearing." Yeah, she does " Adalwolf answered in my head." Why? " I asked him." I don't know, find out yourself " He replied." Yeah, I noticed so too," Caddel said as he sat on the seat beside mine." Your Highness " I heard Dolph's voice and I raised my head to his." Welcome," I said and he bowed lightly." It was Luna Daciana," He said simply and I nodded before he could process it." Yeah I know," I said." You found out? "" We asked her " I replied and he nodded." Your damsel is in distress " Adalwolf suddenly said in my head with a scoff." Ashina? " I asked confusedly." Who else " He scoffed the more and I got on my feet immediately." Where are you going? " Caddel asked." I will be right back " I replied and then walked out of the room.I headed to Ashina's cell. On getting there, I can hear voices from in there. I stood on the spot I was and stretched my hearing." It was fake! And that's the reason why I'm here! They almost died! All because of your fake potion! " Ashina yelled at whoever it was.I tried to inhale the person's scent but I couldn't, my sense of smell was blocked all of a sudden." What's wrong? " I asked Adalwolf." Don't try to, it's a witch" He said and I raised my brows.What does Ashina have to do with a witch? Then I recalled what she had said that day." I got it from a witch "I walked over to her cell immediately and ok getting there, Ashina turned to the entrance at once like she had sensed someone.I ignored her and eye searched for the witch but I saw no one." Witches have magic," Adalwolf said with a scoff before I could even ask." What are you doing here? " Ashina asked at once as the cell's door opened for me.I raised my brows as I walked over to the couch in the cell and sat on it." I can't come here? " I asked with a suspicious look on." Of course not, it's your kingdom anyways " She scoffed." I heard some voices in here. Was someone here? " I asked, hoping she would tell me the truth." There was no one in here " She replied simply." You sure? " I furrowed my brows and she stared intently at me." Did you see someone in here? " She asked with a suspicious look on." No I didn't, I only heard inaudible voices " I replied, looking away from her gaze and looking around." I was talking to Aurora " She replied and I only hummed in response, not wanting to question further.Aurora is her wolf." You're not going to ask me why I preferred to speak with her with my voice outside? " She asked suspiciously." I just didn't want to " I replied, crossing my legs on each other." You know someone was in here, don't you? " She asked and I felt her gaze intently on mine and I turned my face to hers.Staring at her intently just like she was. " Who was it? " I asked, this time around hoping she doesn't lie to me again.Chapter 17* Dorian's POV *" The witch " She muttered, looking away from my gaze and I raised my brows at once ." Who's she and what does she want with you? " I asked at once." She gave me the potion," She said simply, making me raise my brows more." Ashina! " I called in a snap and she snapped her face to mine." You don't know who she is, do you? " I asked with a worried look on." Does it matter? She only asked to help, I didn't know she was a fake one, I guess " She muttered, unsurely." What was she saying? " I asked." I asked to see her inform her about her lack of real powers and she kept insisting the potion was the right one and I had probably gotten it misplaced somewhere " She replied and I sighed worriedly.I stood from the couch I was and walked over to her on the little bed available in the cell. I bent before her and pulled her head downwards to mine." Stay far away from her, you don't know her, no one does. She might be dangerous and next time doesn't take help f
Chapter 18* Dolph's POV *" Are things still going as planned? " I asked with a worried look on as I watched Luna Daciana sip from her golden cup slowly." Well, No one to fall in my traps anymore, seems they relented knowing it could be their doom," She said with a little smirk on." So, what are we going to do now? " I asked." We make them... We make them fall into our traps " She replied with an evil chuckle." Get him for me in an enclosed place. Dorian's guard " She said." Things are about to go bloody " She smirked and I nodded and then with a little bow, I vanished out of sight.**I watched as he walked around the barn store, supervising the grains alone, I looked around and no one was in sight.I was in my invisible form but I knew he could sense a presence lurking around him.He drew out his sword at once and I vanished to appear behind him." Who's the.. "Before he could finish his statement, I dragged him with an invisible force into a little spaced store and had his e
Chapter 19* Dorian's POV *" Nothing " I replied and he scoffed." Right. You're lying, you should have figured out at first sight when Ashina had brought the fake potion to you. You should have known just by glancing at it, but your powers wouldn't work. Is it him? Is it Adalwolf? " He asked and I had no choice but to let go." Yeah, he's acting all mad again. He held them " I replied and he glanced at Caddel and Kaden who were wondering what we were saying to each other." We will talk about this later. You're losing yourself, Dorian, this isn't good, you're a King. Every King has a potent, without it they're just like other warriors " He said and with that, moved a bit away from me.He glanced at Conri on the floor. " He will be fine within some hours and he will have his memories of what happened back, that way you all can clear your doubts," He said and then vanished out of sight. " Take him to his home and you two are to be by his side till he's awake. Inform me when he does
Chapter 20* Dorian's POV *" She's dying Your Highness! " The guards kept saying to me through mind-link." Dorian. " Caddel said slowly in my head." I can hear her, she's dying, " He said slowly and I knew he was almost on the edge of a breakdown." Adalwolf.. "" She has only minutes left Dorian, make your choice. She seems serious about it and it doesn't look like she would care if she does and either way, we're doomed. Though I don't like her you're going to make her pay for your sins? " He asked and I bit my lips and then with a tired sigh.It doesn't matter anymore. I'm not at peace anyways so does it matter? I've never felt this weak in my life.I don't even have my powers anymore, my people would be safe in her hands, right?" You have two minutes left Dorian. " She said, playing with her fingers." What do I have to do? " I asked softly and I see her smile in satisfaction while Conri and Kaden turned to me with a shocked looks." Dorian! What do you think you're doing!? " H
Chapter 21* Dorian's POV *" Dorian. " Caddel tried to call but I cut him off." How many hours has it been? " I asked instead." 12 hours " He replied and I nodded. My eyes widened slightly and I turned to him again." Where's Ashina? Is she fine? " I asked and they nodded." She's fine, she's in her room and is almost okay " He responded." Both of you. " I pointed at Kaden and Caddel." Take her to her other kingdom. She will be safer there " I ordered and they made no hesitation in leaving immediately." I will be fine, you can leave, " I said to Conri who still stood by." I prefer to stay Your Highness " He responded." I need privacy Conri," I said like a plead and he nodded before exiting my room.I sighed silently and shut my eyes trying to reach Adalwolf." I'm sorry " I muttered when I couldn't reach him again." I'm dying soon " I muttered as I tried to stand but it felt like my whole body was on fire.I was weak, could I survive this?** Next Day **I stood on the levele
Chapter 22* Dorian's POV *" Leave, go get ready to leave, " I said to the three, tho they hesitated for a while but they did as told and then walked out of the palace." Can you please take off your mask? " I asked gently." And why do you think I would want to listen to you? " She asked with a dry scoff." I know you hate me and want me dead. I just want to be sure, I just want to know why you hate me and want me dead since I'm dying soon " I said she smirked lightly before taking her mask off and her pretty, spotless, the cold face was visible.I was right, it was her." It's you? " I asked tho I knew what the answer was." Yeah," She replied simply." So, you want me dead because I rejected you as my mate or because my dad made you h?s. " I stopped and she smirked lightly." Well, yeah, because of both! " She said firmly." You know it's not my fault right? " I asked slowly and her face grew colder." Excuse me!? " She said sternly." I mean, I was just a young werewolf and I.. i
Chapter 23* Dorian's POV *Words. I can hear them. Voices.. tiny ones. I can recognize them as Caddel, Kaden, and Conri I flashed my eyes open at once and a strong headache hit me making me shut it back." What happened? " I groaned as I tried so hard to sit up and they rushed to me at once." Hey.. careful " Kaden muttered as they all tried to sit me up which was successful.I shut my eyes when a bright ray of sun hit my eyes and Conri rushed over to the wooden window and locked it." What happened? " I asked." You passed out and The Old Monk came right in time " Caddel responded." Why didn't he wait? I need to talk to him " I said." We begged him to stay but he said something about not wanting to meddle in The Alpha's King Luna business " He replied and I nodded." Yeah, I understand " I muttered." So? Can you feel him? " Kaden asked, referring to Adalwolf and I shook my head." No, still as dead as ever " I muttered." Did Daciana have to go as far as killing him? " Kaden mut
Chapter 24* Alpha Dorian's POV *" And this baby plant will be called... " He trailed off and then turned to me at once. I raised my brows. " Can I call you by your real name Alpha Dorian? " He asked with a pleading face and I nodded." Thanks. " He squealed before turning to the plant once again with a dramatic look on." It will be called Do-shen. A combination of our names. What do you think? " He asked jovially and I nodded." Sure, I love it " I responded and he smiled brightly.He suddenly turned to me and with a puppy face, he asked. " Will you be my friend? " He asked, making me raise my brows." You want to buy my friend? Why? " I asked with a light chuckle." Because you're an Alpha. I wanna make friends with powerful people, good powerful people and not the evil ones " He said and I nodded and then placed my hand on my chin like I was having a thought about something." Alright. Since we already have a creature with our names " I said and he jumped up happily." Now, I'm
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
