The King's Mate 64: Friendship
Chapter 64POV: King Hades PierceHe knew that he had gone too far with Tamara. He shouldn’t have told her those things and that he knew that he was such a jerk for telling her those things. But it had already been said and nothing could even redo it.As he saw how the pain was reflected in her face, he just wanted to punch himself, but he couldn’t stop the jealousy that was creeping into his entire system. Hence, he couldn’t stop his emotions; hence, he was blinded again by them.It wasn’t a good thing, but he just couldn’t get a grip on himself in that very short period of time. And seeing Tamara now in front of his eyes, he felt like the scene of memories with her and that f*cking salutary wolf suddenly flashed into his mind – causing him to lash out at her.Now, he was just so shocked to see her unleash this new side of her.Their father had already warned him and Raven about this possibility. That this could happen to their mates, and he just proved it in front of his very eyes.
The King's Mate 65: The King’s Fall
Chapter 65POV: King Hades Pierce“How is she?” He coldly asked Elder Zeparu as he finished checking Tamara’s condition.The old man stared at him with his unreadable expression on his face, but his eyes were still on Tamara – with a pale face and was just like sleeping so soundly at their own bed.“You exactly know what will happen to her if her body can’t respond to this, right?” Elder Zeparu simply told him as he slightly shook his head to prove his point.King Hades pursed his lips together as he heard those words that he had been expecting to hear.Yes.He already knew that his would happen, but he still pursued doing it. Because he knew that it was for Tamara. She had been the target of his enemies from the very beginning, and she just needed this to protect herself – even though he wasn’t by her side.However, this wasn’t a hundred percent sure to happen. There’s a huge probability that she could be a lycan – just like what happened to her mother. But it wasn’t always the case
The King's Mate 66: Discovered
Chapter 66POV: Prince Raven Pierce“What the f*ck is going on?” He was walking back and forth as he felt like something terribly bad had happened.Raven awoke from his sleep – his forehead drenched with sweat. He let out a deep breath as he held his throbbing head.He had just had a dream – or most probably a nightmare. He didn’t even notice that he had fallen asleep, and in ‘that’ particular nightmare, a woman with a blurry face appeared and told him to go to the South Side. Her voice was so cold and lifeless that it sent shivers down his spine.Raven heaved another deep sigh.Who was she?And why was she telling him to go there?He knew how risky it was to go there-But he suddenly stayed still when he remembered that his brother had gone to the South Side for the Maria Flora – for Tamara.His eyes widened as he immediately came up with a decision. He instantly got up to carry out his plan.He commanded Arlan to keep an eye on Tamara and Elder Zeparu – even threatened him that if s
The King's Mate 67: A Mask of Reality
Chapter 67POV: Queen Tamara PierceShe let out a loud gasp – as if she had been holding her breath for an extended period of time. Then, she felt like her strength had been taken off her body and had to stay and lay down on the comfy bed.Tamara attempted to open her eyes, but all that she saw was blurry shadows of the people around her. She grunted as she felt her body becoming heavier, and she firmly closed her eyes.“She’s finally awake.” Tamara could hear voices around her, but she was just too weak to even process them.“Let her rest for now. She needs it and don’t tell her about what happened yet.”Those were Raven’s final words that she heard before her consciousness left her mind.***POV: Lamina Darkwood“What news do you have now?” She boredly inquired to the man hiding in the shadows.“The Queen is sick. It is a perfect chance for you now.” He simply stated, before bidding his goodbye.“What do you mean that she’s sick? What happened to her?” Lamina seriously asked before
The King's Mate 68: The Truth About Kage Esmeray
Chapter 68POV: Kage EsmerayHe could hear the water from the river – crashing against the rocks and finding its way towards the path that he might be heading into. It flowed so freely even though it didn’t know where it would be going and when it would end.Kage always found the place comforting. Ever since he was found by Elder Zeparu, this place had been his comfort zone. It held the memory of him – trying to find a perfect plan to eradicate the Dark Wood Pack. He would take revenge on the pack they eradicated. But now, he didn’t know what to do.He clenched his fists and even the folder that he was holding was already crumpled.His mind was totally haywire. It was like he was being thrown back when he was still a kid – confused, mad, and unsure. He was in pain, way back then, and now he was more than that.It was like all of his plans, his motivations, his will – had been
The King's Mate 69: Poison
Chapter 69POV: Prince Raven Pierce“Why do you need to order Arlan to sedate me?” Tamara’s eyes squinted as she furiously stared at him.He let out a deep sigh as he moved the pawn on the chess board that was in front of him.She had just woken up, yet here she was, trying to look like a raging wolf, although her façade was saying otherwise. She still looked so weak and vulnerable. But he must commend how fast she has recovered. The Maria Flora had been a great help for her recovery – like it always does.Now, she was already standing in front of him – trying to confront him about his order to sedate her. Well, he had no other choice. She might be triggered once again, and this time it was the least of the things that he needed right now. She couldn't let her shift in that form again.Tamara had already woken up and based on her capacity to provoke him for a confrontation right now, she had already almost fully recovered. But his brother was still lying in his bed and hadn’t regained
The King's Mate 70: Hunting Game
Chapter 70POV: Prince Raven PierceAs he walked in front of the make-shift stage – made just in front of the castle, he had this unreadable and stoic-looking face.Everyone shushed as he came to a halt in front of the golden podium, not only out of respect for him, but also because he was now surrounded by a menacing and dark aura, almost identical to the King's. This wasn’t his normal behavior – not in front of everyone. He was always playful and smiling – but totally not today.There were a lot of thoughts that it was because of Shahara - that would explain his sudden change of mood - and it helped them - sort of.But not with the Darkwoods and their allies.He didn’t care less, though.Think of the things that they want to think of. As he faced every pack that had gathered into the castle, Prince Raven let out a menacing smirk in his thoughts.“Good evening, everyone. Before we start with the hunting game, I would like to give some reminders and instructions before this momentous
The King's Mate 71: Gone Bad
Chapter 71POV: Lamina DarkwoodShe furiously stomped her feet as she walked towards their designated tent to prepare for the hunting game. She instantly poured herself a glass of wine and drank it straight – like a thirsty fish that had finally gone back to the water. Her heightened anger was now making her mind go haywire and her inner wolf restless within her.“Don’t be too emotional. This is just the beginning. We still have our plans on the go, right?” She heard Elder Courdamus comment, but she couldn’t just deny the fact that all of their plans would have been closer to victory if the King was badly hurt and that Tamara would have been killed during the infiltration.“But it would still be a better outcome if Cornelius had critically wounded the King. I thought that everything was under control?! What the heck just happened?” She snapped at everyone around her, and her children

The King's Mate Special Chapter
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
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.

The King's Mate 99: Defeat
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
The King's Mate 97: Hidden Agreement

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 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.

Prepare everyone.” He commanded with his voice fu
