POV: King Hades Pierce “I heard that you had mistreated your Sacred Emissary… again.” Hades made a serious remark to his brother, who was lost in his books. However, seeing how Raven was affected by the mere mention of that particular word, he smirked inwardly. “Shut it off, Hades.” Raven darkly told him. Irritation was filled by his voice. “Oh, so cold. After giving her some azaleas, huh?” He playfully commented, as he couldn’t hide his smirk anymore. Raven just clenched his jaw as he put his book on his lap and stared at him grimly. “Whatever.” He stated darkly before the corner of his lips rose, this time giving him a mocking smile. “Anyway, how about you, then? You have your own, right? The mark had been revealed. I can’t believe that the Lunar Pack is getting this huge responsibility.” Raven suddenly remarked. His forehead instantly creased, but he couldn’t stop the excitement that suddenly embraced him. Yes. The Sacred Emissaries came from the Lunar Pack, and he had no
POV: Queen Tamara Pierce Life is not always fair, beautiful, and perfect – like the moon, which is never full all the time. It has its own phase, and it must go through it until it finally serves its purpose. No matter how dark the night was during the new moon, it would be more fulfilling to see the full moon, finally gracing its luminescence in the dark night sky. Tamara only wanted to discover her identity, her real roots – who was she? However, fate had a different plan for her – showing her what she was destined to be. “Mom! Thanatos is making annoying antics again!” Her daughter, Styx, pouted as she grumpily sat on the single couch in the library before she crossed her arms. Her forehead creased as she was about to answer her when the door suddenly burst wide open, and Thanatos entered the room with his grim expression. He gave his twin sister a warning glare, but he didn’t say a word. Seven years had passed but until now, she still couldn’t believe that she had been given
“T-Tamara,” a frantic shook in her arms and a trembling voice from her mother woke her up.“Mom,” she sleepily called her – while she was still in her dream state and getting up from her comfy bed.She rid her eyes while trying to look at the clock placed on her bedside table. It says that it was almost midnight.Why would her mother visit her at this hour? Her eighteenth birthday was last two days ago. Would she receive another birthday present?Her heart beat fast and smiled sweetly due to her excitement – however her mother’s face says otherwise that wiped up her joyous smile for a moment.“Get up, Tamara. Y-you need to get away.”Her mother was quivering, and that made her wake to her full senses – making her heartbeat speedily – now because of worry.Is this some kind of a joke or a prank?But her mother wasn’t a fan of any kind of prank – especi
Chapter 1POV: King Hades Pierce“They were already making a step, My King,” Arlan – the second in command – eagerly revealed the news to him.King Hades’ forehead creased while he raised his eyebrow and directly looked at him. He was in the throne room thinking about something nonsense when Arlan graced him with his presence breaking the passive silence engulfing the entire room.“And so?” Hades asked mercilessly. His voice was pitch dark – without any sign of any emotion – and just plain blank and void.It was his typical reaction, though – having no reaction at all. He was trained to be at that without anyone else by his side. Bitterness crept on his tongue as it reached his stomach, which made him grit his teeth tightly. He didn’t want to do anything with this kind of feeling anymore. He was already done with all of it.“But your Majesty-” Arlan stopped stating
Chapter 2POV: Rania“Did Benson already find her?” The woman asked the muscular man who was standing and staring at the huge window glass from their huge mansion.She was sitting on a single deep forest green sofa while sipping her favorite lemon and mint tea. She was wearing a white sundress that flowed freely, reaching her knees, which was paired with nude flat shoes.Her burgundy hair was neatly done into a messy bun. The woman had an aristocrat aura that was purely intimidating, added to by her narrowed eyes looking at the man.She was in her late forties by undeniably still younger to look at.He didn’t answer her question and just continued puffing his stale tobacco while looking at the moon in its state – the new moon at its darkest form.“Lorenzo,” the woman called him – pure irritation was visible in her voice which was directly at him, for not answering her question.The man
Chapter 3 POV: Someone A loud crashing of an antique vase broken on the floor echoed throughout the whole receiving room. Three tall and bulky men started to tremble as their eyes were laced with undeniable fear. Their heads bow down and their legs shake, for they knew that with one mistake their loving life was at stake – or worst, they had to say goodbye to it. “What the hell did you say?” A woman in her late forties was holding three sharp and long daggers in her hands, asked violently as she narrowed her eyes and looked at them with pure irritation and ferocity. The woman was sitting on the single black sofa wearing a silky delicate red maxi dress that flowed down and reached the floor – emphasizing her fair skin. It was paired with red three-inch pumps. Her straight light ash blonde hair flowed freely at her back. Her narrowed eyes were decorated with dark black mascara and black eyeliner that contoured and defined her gray
Chapter 4POV: TamaraTamara woke up with a tremendous headache – her temples throbbed in pain, and she kept her eyes shut tightly. Flashes of what had happened to her immediately woke her senses up.She got up in an instant with wide eyes and her vision spun for her sudden move – so she instantly shut her eyes to collect herself and opened it again. She was welcomed with a stinky smell of dead rodents. Her stomach churned and she almost gagged – she covered her nose as she looked around.She was now sitting on the cold and filthy floor – thank God she didn’t see any rodents around making it tolerable for her or else she would really freak out – but it still stinks though.She was like in a prison cell with brick walls – well, it was more like a box with a locked rustic metal bars enclosing the cage where she was jailed.Jailed?!She blinked her eyes and unbelievably stared at the metal bars.
Chapter 5POV: ArlanDillion gave him a sign that all the packs were already complete. He sighed in relief as he looked at the vast quiet crowd gathered in the Great Hall, sitting at their designated tables ignoring other packs.His eyes slightly stopped towards the two anxious and well-driven packs sitting in the front row of the room.The Lunar Pack sat in the left side corner of the area – quietly and seriously talking at each other – and the Dark Wood Pack sitting on the right side of the room – who was intensely glaring at the former pack.Arlan disappointedly shook his head at the latter pack and went near the King to inform him.It was the day of the Pack Meeting. Even he, couldn’t comprehend what was in the King’s mind right now. He was also surprised as to why the King held the gathering inside his palace. It was the first time, and everyone was looking forward to his annou

Chapter 101 POV: Queen Tamara Pierce Tamara could hear voices from the people around her. However, because of her throbbing head – she stayed with her eyes closed until the voices became clearer this time. “I am sure she will go berserk later on once she gains consciousness.” She heard a cold voice – but she could distinguish a bit of worry in her voice. She might be guessing that it was Shanaia who said that. “We have no other choice but to do this to her. The King requested this thing, and I have no other choice but to follow.” She heard another woman’s voice – which she presumed was Tamika’s this time. ‘What the heck is happening?!’ She screamed in her mind, but she kept her mouth shut as she was trying to remember what happened to her prior to this. She suddenly remembered that she was talking to Hades and before he walked away from her, she had already lost her consciousness. “But-” Shanaia was about to say something when she abruptly stopped as Tamika let out a breathy si
Chapter 100POV: Queen Tamara VikeshCessair had finally reached his full lycan potential!Hades started to call everyone to back down as Cessair was already getting out of control.Raven started to turn into his lycan form as well as Kage into his wolf form. Hades was about to go when she held his hand.Worry was etched into her face – making Hades look at her with his gentle and loving gaze. Her eyes welled up. She knew that her concern for him right now was over the moon – especially as she saw how powerful Cessair was, now that he had turned into his lycan form.The liquid that he had drunk was making him more powerful, and she was scared of Hades. He still hadn’t fully recovered, and he still needed to face this.Hades held her cheeks in his softest way possible – as if he were holding something fragile. Her drifting mind was solely focused to him now.“I know that you are so worried right now, wife.” Hades gently told her as he moved closer to her – fanning her face with his min
Chapter 99 POV: Queen Tamara Pierce She opened her eyes as she felt a hand caress her hair, and she turned to face Hades, who only gave her a small and weak smile. “Hades!” She abruptly cried as she gave him a tight hug. Hades slightly grunted and she quickly removed her embrace. Her eyes widened when she realized how clumsy she was! “Oh! I’m sorry… I just… I…” Her eyes welled up as she looked at Hades gently caressing her cheek. She bit her lower lip as her tears fell and she firmly closed her eyes. Her hormones were truly making her more sensitive and emotional. However, she couldn’t stop herself from getting too emotional because Hades was now awake. She was so worried about him. “Shhh…” He soothed her as his thumb wiped her tears away. She opened her eyes and stared lovingly at him. “I thought I will l-lose you. I am s-so scared.” She finally admitted her vulnerability. Hades swallowed hard as he slightly shook his head. “You will never lose me, wife. I will do whatever
Chapter 98 POV: Lamina Darkwood Being shocked was an understatement. She was certainly astounded as to its deeper sense. She couldn’t believe that she was hearing everything about it. “Just like your father. I am very proud of you, Cessair, and I bet your father would have been very proud of you. You are as manipulative and as sly as he is.” Elder Courdamus cynically commented. “He should have said that to me. He should still be here with us. If not for Lamina’s father! That Lomero is truly much more cunning and treacherous.” His voice became so dangerous and firm. She pursed her lips together at the mere mention of her father’s name. Her heart was clenching inside her so hard that it was making it hard for her to breath. “Good thing that you ended his life. His daughter had compensated for everything that he should be doing for us. Lamina’s wrath towards the Royal Blood because of her blinded and unrequited love for the late King Reeve and for her thoughts that they had killed
Chapter 97 POV: Queen Tamara Pierce She couldn’t stop herself from being grateful to Shanaia and Tamika. She didn’t know them deeply, but they had been helping them with all their might, and like what she told them – their debts were now piling up. Hades was now soundly sleeping inside their master bedroom – and she was improving thanks to Tamika's assistance. She thought all of them were doomed because of what happened to Hades. She couldn’t believe that they had a plan for it. Hopefully, Hades will be waking up soon. “So, what have you done to my brother?” Raven’s voice inquired as his eyes darted to Shanaia, who seemed unbothered by his piercing eyes. His forehead creased as to how Raven said those words – as if he was suspicious or something. He seemed to be pushing Shanaia to speak up for the truth. ‘What the heck is wrong with him?’ Tamara mentally thought. “Tamika gave that to me, just in case. We all know that you’ve done something to the elixir during our surprise att
Chapter 96POV: Queen Tamara PierceHer breathing became heavier, but her strong will to protect her child was stronger than her fears.Lamina slowly moved towards the bed as they gradually moved away from her.Her gray eyes were turning a darker shade. She could smell danger and pure ferocity surrounding her.“What do you want now, Lamina?” Her stern voice resonated in the four corners of the room.She was glad that her tone wasn’t shaken at all – it was firm and full of resolve.The cruel woman – in her wolf form – just let out a low, eerie growl, as if it was telling her to shut up.But Tamara just wanted to end this peacefully – well, she might say that she was hoping that way.Lamina turned into her human form as she got some of bed sheet to cover her nakedness. She let out a vicious smirk. Her eyes were cold and unreadable.“Finally, I have come face to face with you, Tamara – oh, my bad. It is Queen Tamara now, right?” She sardonically stated.“What do you want now?” Shanaia in
Chapter 95POV: King Hades PierceHis mind was in chaos. He knew that when it came to Tamara, he was certainly affected. He was walking back and forth in the Throne Room since Tamika had told him to stay out of their room so she could tend Tamara.Shanaia had become their guard, and she was watching the front door.He was about to go back when Raven entered the room. He had bullets of sweat on his forehead and was breathing heavily with a worried expression pasted on his face.His forehead instantly creased.“C-Can’t you feel that?” He asked – full of unadulterated concern in his tone of voice.“Feel what?” He asked, bewildered.Because of too much worrying for Tamara – he was certainly out of focus.But then, he suddenly felt an intensifying aura slowly creeping in near the palace. It was coming from the South Side.Although there was the tranquility amidst the place, he would certainly feel the eeriness it had with it.“They’re here. Prepare everyone.” He commanded with his voice fu
