Chapter 72_______________________**Writer's POV…Strolling down the path, absorbed in silence and with the bright gentle rays of the moonlight shining down on them, Dorian felt bliss.Finally, after months of unpleasant events and thoughts, it's all over - Daciana is okay and that's all that's ever mattered to him.Absent-minded he had been smiling widely since they began their journey back to the Crescent Moon Pack.He had been so engrossed, his pace was faster than Daciana who was lagging. But he soon noticed her figure as he halted.Dorian turned, gazing at Daciana who was walking with her head lowered to the ground—even though he can't see her face entirely, he noticed how reddened her ear was.Just knowing she's this way because of him got him feeling proud. “Hey …did you hurt yourself during the fight?” he questioned, now facing her completely.Yet Daciana was unable to look at him; how can she? That's the first time someone's beheld her nakedness. How could she be so foolis
Chapter 73__________________*THE NEXT MORNING~~Dorian's POV….Walking slowly behind her, my head was lowered to the ground, and I was definite, I was unable of speaking in the meantime.Dawn came faster than any of us expected and now, we're on our way back to the Pack.After we had a meaty breakfast which ensued in total silence, we set out. The path is still lengthy, and I had hoped for some help to come scurrying by—I mean for my sake; the blood I lost was somewhat much, and I'm very drowsy.I'm uncertain if Daciana's aware or not since she's walking pretty fast. Then again, I somewhat know the reason for that.My steps were getting sluggish with every move I make. Fatigued, I leaned against the trunk of a tree to regain my stead. My eyes were trailing Daciana's figure, withstanding.But, she stood walking and gazed back at me. Her eyes displayed no emotions, making it fucking' hard for me to ascertain her feelings.“Rest” she muttered, almost inaudibly, but I understood. She,
Chapter 74___________________**Daciana's POV…Staring continuously at Dorian and the distressed look on his face, I bite my lips, almost reconsidering my actions. Finally, I've got a mate, but it turned out to be someone I despise so fucking' much.Now, tell me how in Earth's name am I supposed to accept that? I can't, and I definitely won't stand for it.Yes, my reason might sound a bit laughable. Then again, it's something I can live with.Standing a great distance from me, Dorian etched, as if finding my utterance funny. “Daciana what do you…”“It's Luna Daciana, Dorian! How many times do I have to tell you? Or you're desperately seeking punishment from me?” I shot hotly and he frowned deeply.“Fuc. k that shi.t, Daciana. What's the meaning of that bullish?it's you just spat?” he sounded annoyed and greatly infuriated.His eyes displayed anger and a bit of sadness. But that didn't matter to me; I'll be damned to compromise my aim of attaining the throne for him.“I will warn yo
Chapter 75_________________**Dorian's POV….“Dorian! Hey Dorian! Open the darn door already” The constant banging on the door got me grumbling like crazy. For fuck’s sake, it's till morning…!I knew better who that voice belongs to, and he is so going to get a punch in the face once I get out of bed. Staring at the ceiling and listening to the door being banged, my mind went back to Daciana.Gosh…!Lately, it seems impossible not to think of her—she is practically the only thing that I can ever think of. And what transpired between myself and her yesterday gets me scared—I don't want to lose another mate.I was foolish and inconsiderate to reject my first one without giving it a second thought. But can I risk losing her? Come to think of it, right from the start, Daciana never really like me, and I am yet to figure out the reasons why.“Dorian, get your shitty ass up!” Caddel screamed like a lunatic. “Oh screw him” I gritted, rolling over from the bed. Dragging my feet toward the
Chapter 76___________________**Writer's POV…Daciana strongly believed her eyes were malfunctioning because there is no way in hell he was supposed to know what. “What sort of question is that?” she asked, trying to keep her tone relaxed and calm. If she fidgets or acts alarm, he'll know.“Look just answer the question” he responded sounding a bit impatient. Daciana chewed her lips briefly as she avoided his gaze.“Daciana?” he shook her shoulders lightly, sensing she has no plans of staring him in the face.She was a bit offended by this gesture. Glaring at him sharply, she pushed his chest and he stumbled greatly.Unfortunately, for Dorian, he fell heavily on the floor with his butt. “Fuck” he cursed, before lifting his eyes to look at her; the look of remorseless was nowhere in her eyeballs as she glared at him. “Just because I saved you or rather you saved me doesn't mean we are buddies! Dorian, always remembers this; I am your ruler, and you are just a mere peasant. Don't get
Chapter 77_______________**Dorian's POV…To spend a whole month with Daciana seemed like a dream come true for me—meanwhile I was busy contemplating how to grow closer to her, the moon goddess had already destined this trip.Ha!Situations like this get me all fuzzy and happy. I observed after the announcement of the ceremony, she didn't quite pay attention in the meeting anymore—judging from how she trembled I could tell she was afraid and a bit nervous.Afraid about what exactly?; falling in love with me? I smirked triumphantly at the thought of that—she will be mine, and that fact is inevitable. “And that is all. We appreciate your time!” the elders bowed before standing up.Instantly, she stood up and rushed through the door. I decided to follow her.Her movements were pretty fast as she ran through the hallway. I had to increase my pace just to catch up with her, and when I did, I held her firmly by the arm. Daciana swerved swiftly as she yanked it away from my grip.“You kno
Chapter 78________________**Daciana's POV….Openly, I would have loved to kick this f***** in the balls for kissing my hand. But….once I turned my head slowly to glance at Dorian, I noticed the outraged look on his face—he was doing an impressive job of hiding it. Then again, it's pretty evident how furious he is.“It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance once more” Henry or whatever his name was said. I took my attention back to him and withdrew my hand before letting out a fake smile. “The feeling is mutual” I replied, the pretense laced in my tone was pretty evident, but he ignored it.“And I assume this is your beta?_ Henry snorted, almost glaring at Dorian. “Yeah,” Dorian replied simply from behind and I almost gasped at his lack of courtesy.Henry appeared a bit displeased, but he quickly concealed his emotions.“I assume you are going to take us to our room, are you?” I asked, getting a bit irritated as a lingered around us. Before he attempted to reply, maids came scurr
Chapter 79_________________**Writer's POV…“What the f*** was I even thinking?” he hushed huskily, his bright eyes fixed solidly on the beautiful moon. The chirping of the insects, the hooting of the owls, and the mild breeze gave him solace—they reassured him things were going to be someday. That had been his initial belief when he found out he had a mate, but recently, he has begun to realize he was living in a fool's Paradise—An illusion that he forced himself to create.“I'm such a fool” This time he added a bitter chuckle, his right hand swaying the pebble at the river.Dorian watched expressionlessly as the pebble skipped skillfully on the river's surface.The pebble eventually sank and he sighed. After his unwholesome conversation with Daciana, he came out to have some fresh air.Moreover, he was fortunate to come across a river after wandering around. It's getting late, yet he can't bring himself to return.Why should he, though? There's nothing more than pain and hurt awa
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
