Chapter 51 POV: Lamina Darkwood “What the hell did you say?!” Her voice was strangely low, but the fury it held couldn’t be hidden. “I am sorry, but it was announced late. The King was the only one who knew all about it, and he said it all and done in an instant. No one could ever contact anyone. So, I can’t send you a message.” A low manly voice replied from the darker part of the hallway – where a black curtain was hanging. The man couldn’t be distinguished from the darkness – only his black trousers and its shiny black shoes. But Lamina knew who it was. The man that she asked for her to be her spy. But up until now, he was always late in telling her details. And that made her more furious! “You are such an incompetent fool! You always do this to me. I asked you to be one of the king’s loyal men yet, I can’t gather decent information from you.” She annoyingly stated – in between her gritting teeth. “I asked you to know what it was about the competition, but you didn’t even kno

He followed Leah to talk to her about what she did with Tamara.He knew that something had happened because Tamara seemed to be friendly – with all her smiles and all, but her eyes were too intimidating, wicked, and merciless a while ago.“Aeron, I’m exhausted. Can you just leave me alone?” She weakly stated as she sat on her bed.But he didn’t want to leave her alone. He might have been a weak brother to her, but he truly cared for her. She was his sister. And besides, he wanted to know. He wanted to know what Tamara would tell her.“Just tell me. I know that this is hard for you-”“Okay, then. You really wanna know? I am crashed, Aeron!

Chapter 55 POV: King Hades Pierce “Are you sure that they were still quiet about what happened?” He seriously stated as they went with the hunters to track their progress in finding out what the Darkwoods were doing right now. They were in the depths of the woods where their secret hideout was and talking to the Mindsors was just leading them into nothing. And it was making him upset now. This was just too frustrating. He wanted to eradicate them now, once and for all. He knew he could. In just a snap, he could do it with his bare hands, but he wanted to do it right. He needed to have proof. He needed to do that, for he was the King, and he needed to set an example for the people – the packs – that he was leading. His parents taught them about their principles, but no matter how he tried to copy his father’s kindness – he was failing miserably. He was ruthless and cruel.

She was breathing heavily, and her face turned bright red because of both humiliation and deep rage.“How dare she say those words to me! That Rania is really testing my patience!” She wrathfully spat those words in between her gritted teeth.Her canines were slowly becoming bare, and her wolf was wanting to take over her.Rania had embarrassed her from everyone, and she needed to shut her mouth and pretended to be deeply concerned – even though she just wanted to burst with her words to her. If it wasn’t for the people around her, she tightened her jaw as she clenched her fists.But what’s more about it was that everything that Rania had told her a while ago was just too much, that she wanted to talk back at her – especially the cursed words that it made her entire system shaken… a bit.“Damn that annoying bitch!” She frustratedly cursed out loud.“You must condemn her, Mother.” Aeron

They were currently in front of the infirmary – where Arlan, Dreyson, and Alpha Lorenzo were witnessing what was happening between him and Kage.

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

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.

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.

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.
