POV: Leah Darkwood
“This is just the beginning, Leah. Don’t let your guards down. Do you understand?” Her mother spoke as she drank her champagne while they traveled to the King’s castle.
All of them were present inside their black Limousine car. Her father was just silently sitting beside her mother and smoking. While Aeron was just looking intently at them – most especially at her.
She was excited for the announcement day to see who would be chosen in the top ten for the next Regina. For she already knew that she was part of it – well, she made it sure, as well as her mother, who already spoke to Elder Courdamus.
They were discreet to the other candidates who passed the screening process, but she shrugged it all off. She will surely win in the end – no matter what.
“Of course, Mom. You know, I wouldn’t lose – not to anyone. Most especially, not to this one.” She assuredly answered.
“Trust, her, Lamina. She could do

She was currently sitting on one of the dark red single-sitter cabriole couches. Well, every one of them sat on each of the single couch. They were waiting for the Were Elder Council for whatever reason they had – at that very moment that they were also announced as the top ten chosen candidates.Dillion was eyeing them from the corner – standing beside the closed huge wooden door. Although Tamara was fond of reading, she couldn’t appreciate the sanctuary of books placed in an asymmetrical bookshelf to every corner of the room. Her mind wa

Chapter 25 POV: Aeron Darkwood Somewhere in the middle of the dark woods. A loud whimper echoed in the middle of the dark forest, followed by a painful growl – making the birds fly away from their own resting nests and breaking the deafening silence of the night. Dark red blood splattered the ground and painted the wild grass and weeds. The entire place was terrifying and perilous at just one glance. A man with no left arm was slowly breathing and sniveling due to the agony he felt. He already knew that he would face his tragic end today. He knew he wouldn’t have another chance at proving his worth and loyalty. He would face his disastrous demise without any sign and confidence. One of the people staring at him – younger than him – slowly shook his head with too much disappointment. It pained him more – for he served this family for almost two decades of his life.

Chapter 28 POV: King Hades Pierce Everything was a total mess! The moment she saw Tamara in her state, she was already hardly breathing. Her face was pale, but something in her arm had caught his eyes. He gritted his teeth and clenched his hands before he started walking back and forth towards the small office – Doc Dreyson’s office, to be exact. King Hades frustratedly licked his lips and placed his hands on his waist as he let out a deep sigh. His heart beat was uneven and his animalistic side was trying to overtake him once again. But he wouldn’t let it happen. Not now that he still didn’t know what was happening to Tamara. The door suddenly opened, and Doc Dreyson entered the room. He heaved a deep dreadful sigh the moment their eyes met. He didn’t like the expression he had on his face – for a hint inside him was creating pure turmoil creeping on every vein in his system. “How was she?” He simply asked as he was re

She gritted her teeth and hunched her back, then forth while lying in her bed. After a few moments, she was burning with fever that her eyes went to the back of her head. Her canines bared and she growled in both frustration and pain – making Kage and Dreyson more nervous and scared of what was happening to her. The good thing was it only lasted for about fifteen minutes, and she was now peacefully sleeping. But the chaotic feeling Tamara arose a while ago inside their mind and the raucous emotions they felt was to the moon. Kage harshly combed his hair with his hands while his other hand rested on his waist. He was walking back and forth in front of her bed – waiting for Dreyson, who went to Shahara’s room, just beside Tamara’s – to check on her, too. His head shot back at the door when he heard it open.

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
The King's Mate Epilogue
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
The King's Mate 101: Sacrifice
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

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.

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
The King's Mate 98: Broken Legacy
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

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

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.

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.
