LANDON'S POV:-
THREE HUNDRED YEARS LATER:-
I opened my eyes and sat up on the bed abruptly. I was all sweaty again. My heart was beating wildly inside my rib cage and my breaths were short as pants. I grabbed the towel that was on my bedside table and wiped the sweat off of my body and my face. I ran my fingers through my hair and looked at the clock that was set in my bedroom. I filled a glass with cold water then downed it's content in one go.
"Always at the same time." I thought to myself and laid back down on the bed. I was having those nightmares ever since we left Mountainia. Raymond brought me to Vienna. Turned out that my father had been saving a lot of money. He had some friends in Austria. He had bought a huge company that built ships in Austria. All I did was to learn to fight and studied hard.
After we came to Vienna, Raymond told me that my parents were murdered that night. And Raymond was ordered to get me out of Mountainia. I was never told who killed my parents. He said he could not tell that to me. It was not his place. We flew away but we were not able to fly far away. Raymond's powers gave up. Since then, no one has seen any of the dragons. I was not sure if anyone else made it out.
Raymond also told me that it was because the mighty heart was not in its place. The mighty heart was like a source of power for everyone. And according to Raymond, it was stolen by some sorcerers. As the Mighty Heart possesses the power of the most ancient dragon, it could be used to do a lot of things. Good or bad, that depends upon the person who had stolen it.
I was not here for nothing. As Raymond's mission was to get me out of Mountainia. My mission was to find the dragon's Mighty Heart. Three hundred years had been passed. I showed my face to the world. But I had to change my appearance every fifty years. To keep up the play, but I never changed my name. It was as I was trained to do. As if they knew it could happen. If they knew it, they should have stopped it. Why all this drama. I had lost everything in that stupid drama. It was not easy for me to come and live in a country I had never seen in my life. To live without my parents in the age when kids can not sleep without their parents beside them.
I wanted to tell Raymond everything about that night. The dream I was in. Then I saw a few people who dared to step into the forbidden room. And the man who tried to touch the mighty heart. I did not know if I should have told him or not. He once said that the person who tried to touch it, he wanted to be the king. That was the reason why he tried to touch it. Too bad, the mighty heart did not let him touch itself. It was probably because he was not worthy to possess the power of the dragon king. To my surprise, I never told him a thing. But he was attached to my father. Maybe he knew everything.
I could not believe that three centuries had passed since that night. Things were different since then. Not because I was the crown prince of Mountainia. But because I was sent to the outer world for a mission. Sending the mighty heart was another story. But whoever made that mistake, they would soon know the consequences. Dragons were actually powered by the mighty heart. Our immortality was connected with the mighty heart. Knowing that the mighty heart was away from its home, only the kings knew that it would die soon. And with that, it would take away the powers all the dragons were bestowed.
In all those years, my job was to expand my businesses. I never showed my real face anywhere. As it was a threat to me and my family secrets. Humans only thought that the world only belonged to them. Well, sure. Creatures like dragons, werewolves, vampires, witches and many more, we all exist in this world. I had my dad's most trusted men. They were the ones who taught me everything about the business my father had bought. They trained me to become a successful businessman. They were all loyal to our family. While Raymond was tracking the mighty heart. All we knew was that it was some sorcerers who took it away.
Even the people who worked in our mansion. They were all the most trusted people. My father was a great man. He was smart and brave. He did that all because he knew one day his people would count on that. Ever since the mighty heart was taken away, no dragon was able to shift. And I could feel it. The mighty heart was losing its powers. In Mountainia, angels used to visit every year to give it power and life so all the other dragons would live. But as it was stolen, it had started to lose it's power. I could feel that soon it would die and then, all the dragons would become a mortal.
I laid back down on my bed and looked at the sky. There was still some time for the sun to rise. I closed my eyes and let the sleep consume me again. I just wanted to sleep so all the sad thoughts would go away. But I guess it was not really a lucky day for me. I opened my eyes again as I heard a loud bang on my bedroom door.
I growled under my chest and hopped off of the bed. I went towards the door and opened it. I would have choked the life out of the person who dared to disturb me in my nape time. But I controlled myself when I saw Raymond standing in front of my bedroom door. I sighed and forced a small smile on my face.
"To what do I owe this pleasure? I remember you were not gonna come back this week. But I guess I was wrong." I asked him and he quickly shook his head.
"I have a really great news. The mighty heart is finally located. It is time for you to get in action." He replied and I smiled widely.
"Really! That means we can go back home soon. I will be able to see my parents' grave. I would be able to hug my brother. I have missed him so much." I replied and his smile fell. I grabbed his hand and he looked into my eyes.
"I don't know how Balthazar is doing. I don't even know if he is okay. He stayed behind so you can be free. He is your step brother but he sacrificed his life for you and Mountainia. I just hope he will be okay when we go back to Mountainia. He is taking care of your father's legacy. Once you will find the mighty heart, you have to be the one to continue as the King, as your father died long ago." He replied and I gulped hard. Tears blurred my vision as I remembered that night again.
"I swear I will give him the most painful death whoever was behind their deaths.. Just the one they deserve." I said through my gritted teeth. Raymond pulled me in a fatherly hug and I cried my heart out.
LANDON'S POV:-I was sitting in the living room with Raymond. I was on a chair and Raymond was sitting across the table. We were playing chess. I never really liked playing chess, it was not my game. But I started playing it for Raymond as it was one of the things my father and Raymond used to do when he was alive. He said it calmed him down whenever he played chess. He was one of the most loyal people my father had.Suddenly, the kettle started whistling. We both looked at each other's faces as none of us set the kettle on the stove. We stood up and made our way towards the kitchen. The kettle was settled in its place. It was not on the stove. I sighed as I understood what was going on. It was a message from some friends who were still living in the kingdom along with my brother.Raymond went towards the kettle and opened it. Red flames appeared in front of our eyes. It was the messenger
BERRY'S POV:-I was standing in front of the counter, waiting for the landlord to give me money so I could go back home. Well, technically, I could send money for my siblings and go back to that shitty hostel where I lived. I really never thought that our lives would be this much difficult. I understood why parents are so important in our lives. After my parents death, my mom's brothers kicked me and my siblings out of the house. They took over everything and changed my father's will. I tried to fight but the actual will was destroyed by my dad's lawyer.I did not have any evidence that I was telling the truth. Seeing my younger siblings starving and sick, I had to stand up to support them. I was grateful to my aunt, who took us in. But they were not very rich. They were barely getting enough to fill their stomachs. That was the reason why I had to stand up. I came to Vienna so I could earn enough to raise my s
LANDON'S POV:-I stepped out of the cart quickly as we suddenly stopped in the middle. I looked around for the reason why we stopped. I saw one of the drivers kneeling on the road. I went towards him and he stood up. "I swear my Lord, she came out of nowhere. We did not even see her." He said as I knelt down on the ground. She had a wound on her head. But she also had some bruises on her neck and her face. Three men came running towards us."Oh God! What did you do? Oh my Berry, please talk to me." One of them started yelling at us. I grabbed his collar aggressively and pulled him up. The other two tried to attack me but my drivers were fast enough to pin them with the ground."What did you do to her? Did you try to force her?" I asked him through gritted teeth. He gulped hard as he saw his men pinned with the ground. He laughed nervously and shook his head."Oh, of
BERRY'S POV:-I opened my eyes and sat up abruptly on the bed. I was in an unknown place. It looked like a mansion. It was bigger than the mansion my parents owned. I could imagine the size of the mansion with the size of the bedroom I was in. The bed itself was bigger than the living room of my aunt's house. I looked at my body. I had a white clean gown on my body. But as I remembered, I was running naked on the streets to protect myself. "Oh my God, did he get me? Oh God, no please no…" I thought to myself as I tried to remember what really happened.I was offered by the landlord to become his mistress. I had rejected his offer and tried to run away when he tried to abuse me. Then I was running aimlessly to save myself from that monster when I was hit by a horse. Then everything went dark. I could not remember what happened to me after that. Seeing the big mansion, I was convinced that he ha
BALTHAZAR'S POV:-I was walking back and forth in my room, waiting for the news I had been waiting to hear for so long. I could not wait for them to give me the good news. But it was taking longer than I had expected it to be. I stepped out of my room and made my way towards the chamber of the witches who were busy with the process of getting everything done by its time. Of course there had to be a ceremony before we got to place the mighty heart back on its place. It had been centuries when we had lost the only hope of dragon's survival in this mortal world. Of course, we did not belong to this filthy world. Where they live and die just in a century. It was rare to see people living off a century. But those people were nothing but an old burden for the rest of the worMy most trusted man, Kelly stepped out of the chamber of the witches and froze as he looked at my face. His face went pale as if he had seen a ghost.
BERRY'S POV:-I stepped out of the office building and mentally cursed myself for being a stubborn soul. It was really not my fault though. Mr Turner had told me that it would rain by the time we would be going back home. And I looked at him and laughed at him. It was near to impossible. The sun was shining brightly in the morning and there was not a single piece of cloud around the big blue sky. I stomped my foot on the ground as I did not bring my umbrella. And I knew I had to go back home with wet clothes and hair."It will not help with the rain, neither you are going to get an umbrella by stomping your feet on the ground." I jumped as I heard Mr Vulcan whisper in my ear. I looked up and found an umbrella over my head. He came closer to me and rested his hand on the small of my back. He nodded his head and pulled me towards the cart that was waiting for us. He helped me into the cart first then h
LANDON'S POV:-Landon son, meet your older brother, Balthazar. He will be training you from now on." My father introduced me to a man who was all grown. I gulped hard and looked at his face. At first, I hid behind my mother who giggled seeing my nervousness. They knew well that I was not really a stranger friendly child. Balthazar chuckled and knelt down on the ground. He opened both of his arms for me to hug him. I looked up at my mother who nodded her head with a small smile on her face. Her smile boosted up my confidence and I walked towards my brother. I went to him and wrapped my tiny arms around his neck nervously. He wrapped his arms around me tightly and picked me up from the ground.He inhaled sharply and then he set me back down on the ground. He was not bad. He looked at my father and I did the same. "He smells just like you, father. He even looks like you. He is an exact repl
BERRY'S POV:-It was about fifteen minutes when he pulled his head out of the crock of my neck. I wiped his tears and he forced a small smile on his face. I was worried about him. But I definitely did not want him to feel the same pain again. So I bit my tongue. "I am sorry if I worried you. I needed that hug, so yeah! Thank you so much." He said in his gruffy voice due to all crying. I just awkwardly nodded my head and smiled."Are you sure, you are okay, Mr Vulcan?" I asked him in a worried tone. He rubbed his knuckles over my cheek and nodded his head. I nervously pushed a lock of my hair behind my ear and stood up. I was about to move away when he held my hand. I have him a confused look. But that was until a mischievous grin made its way to his lips. I gasped loudly as he pulled me suddenly. I collided with his hard chest. My cheeks burned as he was not wearing anything on his upper body.
THIRD PERSON'S POV:-The chaos was evident in the pack lands. And powerful creatures could smell the bloodbath that was about to happen. Those who were weak. They submitted to Annabella. Those who were loyal to their Alpha, they were bearing the pain. The pain was too much for a lot of people. For adults, they could not bear the agony their kids were going through. They had no other choices left but to submit to Annabella. There were not many who were still bearing the pain just because they were loyal to their Alpha.After the death of their Luna and Alpha, Phantom ran straight towards the babies. Seth and Elsa, both were crying. They had felt the pain their parents went through. Phantom went towards the cots and looked at the babies. "If it was not for Landon, my Alpha would be alive. He ran away like a coward and left us in this mess. I will save you Seth. Because you are the heir of my Alpha. But this little bitch. I know s
LANDON'S POV:-"What do you want from me? I did not do anything to you. Neither my mother was responsible for everything that had happened to you. It was your bitch of a mother who decided to test something on you that was near to impossible. It was neither my fault, nor my mother's." I yelled at her and suddenly I felt a sharp pain inside my head. As if someone was hitting my brain with a hammer. The agonizing pain was unbearable for me. I held my head with both of my hands and started screaming. As if the screams would help me with the pain. But nothing helped me at all."Tsk… tsk… tsk… I should have mentioned to you that you can not disobey me. Or you would feel the most unbearable pain of your life. Don't worry, I just told you that. And it will fade away in a few minutes, if you submit to me." She said while giggling as if it was a joke to her. I was in pain an
LANDON'S POV:-Without thinking about it anymore, I stepped into the mansion. The mansion was newly renovated. I could see, it was not too old. I was looking around while walking. And my dragon was also ready to leash out in case anything happens. Something was definitely off about that place. As if I could sense a storm that was waiting to leash out. "My! My! My! I have never thought that you would be a fool. Just like your mother was. Now look at you. You are here, just as I had predicted." I heard a woman's voice. She was taunting at me. I could not recognize the voice but it still felt so familiar."Who are you? And how did you know my mother?" I asked her in an angry tone. She dared to call my mother a fool. I could not bear it. I turned around as I felt someone standing behind me. A woman who looked in her early forties, came out of the shadows. She had a devilish smirk on her face. As if she had won a war or someth
LANDON'S POV:-A few days later, I packed my stuff again. This time, I was ready to go back home. Berry and Charlie did not let me leave. They wanted to spend some time with me. How could I say no to them. They were my love. So I stayed for a few more days. Everything was changed after the babies. Seth always stayed with his parents. But Elsa, something was very different and unusual about her. It felt like a connection between a metal and a magnet. As if I was drawn towards her. Just a whimper of her could make me run miles back home and hold her close to my chest. It was something I could not understand. But I thought it was because of the mighty heart inside her.I stayed for a few days as Charlie and Berry had asked me. And to be honest, I did not want to go either. But my kingdom and my people were my responsibility. I knew I had to do it so I could live my life with the people I love. So instea
THIRD PERSON'S POV:-Three days later, the whole pack was busy decorating the pack lands. Everyone was happy. Not just because of the birth of the babies of their Alpha. But also because Landon came back. Also because the baby girl was saved because of Landon. Everyone knew that it was Landon who had saved her. How, no one actually knew how he saved her. The pack only cared that the baby girl was breathing and she was healthy. In fact, she was healthier than her brother. Healers called it a miracle. Of course it was a miracle. Archangel Michael was behind that miracle.Landon asked the archangel Michael to set his coronation ceremony in Charlie's pack lands. To his surprise, the archangel accepted the request. And with that, Landon and Charlie asked the archangel Michael to announce the names of both of the babies before the coronation ceremony. Berry asked Charlie and Landon to name the babies. Landon asked archangel Michael t
THIRD PERSON'S POV:-The archangel Michael reached to a big chest that had the mighty heart of the golden dragon locked inside. Landon also reached the chest and looked at the archangel. The archangel Michael signalled Landon. Nodding his head, Landon opened the chest. His eyes went wide in shock as he looked inside the chest. The huge heart of the ancient mighty dragon, it turned into a small but strong heart of a baby. Landon gulped hard and he almost forgot to breathe. But of course, he knew it was the power of the great archangel Michael. Turning something impossible to possible, it was one of his tricks."Bring me the baby. This will stay between us both." Said the archangel Michael. Landon nodded his head in understanding and transformed himself in his half dragon form. His fangs and claws grew bigger and small wings came out of his back. He flapped his wings and within a few moments, he was in
LANDON'S POV:-I stepped out of the cart right in front of the mansion. I first wanted to visit them. I wanted to see them. Hold them close to my chest. I wanted to be with them. I was excited to see them. I was excited to see their faces. I was excited to make love to them. As I was standing on the ground, I offered my hand to archangel Michael. He took my hand and I helped him out of the cart. Not that he needed any kinds of help from me. But I wanted to do that. He was with me just for the coronation ceremony. And I wanted him to bless Charlie and Berry too. I wanted to spend an eternity with them."So, this is your heaven? I might say I am impressed. People here are so happy. Where people are happy, that place sure is heaven." He said as he looked around. He was right. Charlie was a great alpha. He looked after his people. He took care of them. He made sure to give them everything they needed. I smiled widely
THIRD PERSON'S POV:-Landon stepped out of the storage room and looked around. His eyes glowed golden as he felt another most powerful being in the main hall. His eyes searched all around the hall to find the source of the unlimited power he could feel inside him. It was the other corner of the hall where he darted someone he could remember as a vivid dream. A very tall and beautiful man. The aura around him was nothing but power and purity. He was pure power. Just his single glance was enough for everyone to lose their minds and fall on their knees. To beg him to look at them for a few more minutes.Landon could remember him. It felt like a vivid dream. But it was not a dream. Landon could not help himself. He went towards the man. While walking, he remembered the dream he was trying to find in the pit of his mind. It was not a dream. In fact it was a memory. A long lost memory that felt like a dr
THIRD PERSON'S POV:-As everyone was busy with the little show going into the hall. Derek Kart, Hayden's friend sneaked into the storage room to get the mighty heart out. It was the back up plan Hayden had come up with. The time when Adrian told everyone that how mean the vampire mafia could be, Hayden came up with a back up plan. So they could save the mighty kingdom, Mountainia. Everyone has heard about the mighty kingdom. But no one ever had seen that beautiful kingdom. It was well hidden and well protected for centuries. But one little mistake of Joseph Vulcan and the whole kingdom was on stake.Derek quietly searched the whole room for a few minutes. Until he was finally able to find the mighty heart. He opened the box and the warmth of the mighty heart filled his chest with lights. As if a prayer for peace within him was answered. He could feel the wave of happiness and power inside his chest.
