Harriet had arrived at her limits countless times. She was exhausted after years of pushing herself. She had gone on expeditions, back to back, without proper rest.
Exerting herself on this point was an understatement. She had pushed herself even beyond her limits. Even after going blind, having terrible nosebleeds, and even vomiting blood, she pushed through.
It almost seemed that she had failed to care for herself.
As she countered and neutralized Julian’s explosive spells, Heath and the other Lycans tried to subdue him. Harriet felt another fit of blood clots stuck in her throat, but she swallowed it back forcefully.
As adrenaline pumped her blood, she didn’t realize that she shouldn’t have done any of this when she had no heart.
The battle had only lasted a minute, yet it was enough for experienced warriors to settle the dispute... and destroy everything in their path.
The pain started to burn her flesh. Her veins poppe
The world where no suffering existed. The world where everyone was still alive.It sounded like heaven. It sounded like a dream.In the world where Cynthia Delaroche succeeded in uniting the world, fixing the destiny before the wheel of time turned for the worst...In a world where probably Andrius did not exist... because Liam would be this world’s only god.Everything would go as how it should be, or would it go as how Liam wanted? Yet, was it even real if this was the ideal world of how everything should’ve happened?“Because this world did not happen, why do you think this is even allowed to happen?”“Why are you thinking of something not important?” his mirror image, his other him, and the other part of his soul asked.“I offered you the world with no suffering. You felt your first happiness in years in this world; your longing, your regrets are irrelevant here.”“I off
AWOOOOOOOO!“Cover me!” Harriet yelled as Liam jolted forward straight to the danger.A new energy rose within Harriet like a surging wave. And suddenly, she felt something start to reverberate inside her.BA-DUM!It was her heartbeat... or was it his?Suddenly, she could breathe properly. Suddenly, her body lost its fatigue, and her mind cleared. She felt his presence back inside her as he invaded her mind to find out what was happening.Her pain, her tiredness, her helplessness, everything became better in a matter of seconds.[Varuna]!As Harriet countered another [Inferna] with her own spell, water vapor started to rise. Liam controlled his attack to prevent serious injury to his Beta and hindered his movement as much as possible.Heath followed his lead, bolting to the opposite side to let Liam do his thing. At the same time, Harriet whispered another spell to restrict the monster’s movement more e
“Miss Yelan!”She left.She let go of her hand even though Aslan had tried to stop her.As he stood there, seeing her staggering back running toward her real destiny, Aslan felt his heart crumble. So it was truly... impossible.Aslan wanted to leave. He couldn’t bear to see, yet he forced himself to stay rooted to the spot.Just a bit more. He wanted to make sure Yelan would be okay. He wanted to make sure his love had made the right decision.Would it be okay to let her face her fear like this? Would it be okay to let her become a monster’s bride? Would she be happy?He stood there, watching as the scene unfolded. As Yelan hugged the beast, his body started to transform back into human form.He thought he was ready to do everything to help her gain her own happiness. He was ready to bring her away and give her the escape.Even though he knew she was only using him for her own benefit.“Aslan Antarcticite.”He was lost in his thoughts and surprised when Julian suddenly called his name
Once upon a time, three gods started a project of life.Andrius, Anatoli, and Ayja were three strong transcendence who gained Godhood from Heaven’s blessing. Each of them was extremely talented, and each one of them could create their own world if they wanted.But they decided to create a high realm among worlds and dimensions.Their creation was magnificent. It was not perfect, but the system was clear, and the creation had the opportunity they needed to survive.But just like other high realms, their project had become even more popular among lower-ranked gods. Like hungry hyenas, they put their watchful eyes behind the dark void of the cosmos. Waiting... for the right opportunity to strike.But as they waited, they became impatient and greedy.They tried everything to blow the wind of conflict toward the trio, and whatever it was, they managed to click a crack into their relationship.Ayja and Anatoli... and then Andrius.
“Nyanko, where are you?”Alameida carried the laundry for today in a giant basket. Behind her was Rayleigh carrying a massive block of firewood.It was their weekly activity here in the Shelter of Fae children. Big batches of laundry would need a lot of firewood and a giant metal pot to boil them.“Nyanko?” Alameida called again.“Yes, Madam!”A young woman, more petite in build, ran toward her, followed by half-elf children. She had short black hair, and her forehead was covered with her bangs.She wore a simple white dress like the children, but she was actually a proper adult. Her body was naturally smaller and agile because she was a Catfolk.Yes, behind her white headscarf was a pair of black cat ears, and her skirt had a hole for her fluffy black tail.“Lead the kids to sweep the yard and the floor while we do the laundry, okay?” Alameida asked her.“Ah! Of cour
In late summer, at the Capital of Euclase, a wedding procession was held.In the morning, Damian had been dressed in a luxurious black tuxedo with gorgeous ornament adorning it. He reminded himself that he must flawlessly fulfill his role as the ring bearer today.At least this would distract him from what was plaguing his mind.Oh, what?Once again, Damian recalled his great-grandparent’s words.“No touching except it’s urgent. Make a distance, at least two feet away. Try to always calm your nerves, with her in the room or even when she is away. And, listen to your father.”Old Duke said this was the first case for an Alpha to find his mate so soon. For a normal Lycan, their mate could be their own neighbor or someone in the same city, usually in the same clan.But an Alpha usually met their mate when they were already an adult.Thus why this was such a bizarre case.“...so you are saying t
The wedding guests were all dressed in their finest attire, mingling and chatting amongst themselves as they awaited the arrival of the bride. But that was not the only one they were whizzing about.“Look. Finally, they’re getting ready.”“Where’s the groom? Oh, that’s his Majesty!”Ezekiel walked up to the altar, and with him was the guest of honor walking to their seats or to the place they were assigned to.The first one was the Platinum Duchy Couple, Heath and Miriam, walking toward the front row of the guest seats. Then, Old Duke and Duchess sat near them in the front row too.And that was when the other guests saw the appearance of the Duke and Duchess of Almandine coming out to the hall hand in hand.“No way...”“That...?”It was the first time Liam went public again after his ‘death’, and thus people’s reactions were understandable.
CRAAAASH!!!"Oh, my God!" Miriam stood from her desk, trembling, when she heard a loud noise from the front of her office building.The other woman on the couch, Harriet, stood up and looked away from her phone, alarmed by the commotion too.The both of them looked over the huge glass window of their building.With the phone still in her hand, Harriet said, "I'll call 911."They saw a truck had rolled over the side of the street, hitting another car, but then, as they focused more on that third floor of the building, Miriam screamed, "Sister, there's a woman there. I-I think she got hit...""Oh, God..." Harriet's trembling hand finally finished hitting the number and put the phone on her cheek."Hello, 911; what's your emergency?""Traffic accident, a woman got hit by a truck. I think it's the red light, and the truck
