Chapter 88POV: King Hades Pierce“Are they all done with the preparations?” He darkly asked his younger brother as he entered the meeting room.Arlan and Shimuel followed him into the room. All of their gazes were directed towards Prince Raven – who was grinning like a madman with his chess board in front of him.“They are already in place. Don’t worry, as what Tamika said, we will just need to do something in that specific thing.” Raven seriously stated as he moved the white queen piece on the board towards where the black king piece was.“Great. Then, we are good to go.” King Hades smirked wickedly as he stood up and nodded at everyone.Prince Raven viciously smiled.“Checkmate.” He sinisterly whispered before he stood up and followed him.Arlan and Shimuel silently followed behind them – with their dark auras like his and Raven’s.“Uhm, one more thing, Your Majesty.” Arlan politely called him – with firmness and seriousness were dripping from his voice.“The Mindsor Clan had alrea
Chapter 89POV: Queen Tamara VikeshShe felt weak all of a sudden – like the stress and exhaustion doubled upon hearing those words from Tamika. But before she could even react, Tamika suddenly fainted as she and Shanaia instantly went to her side.Tamara called one of the sentinel wolves outside the Throne Room when Kage suddenly went inside and carried Tamika into their room.Until now, she hadn’t been on speaking terms with Kage – after everything that happened.She knew that sooner or later she would have to rekindle things with him.“What happened to her?” Kage seriously asked.He looked strangely concerned while looking at Tamika, but she just shrugged it all off.“She suddenly fainted.” She worriedly replied.Kage checked her pulse and heaved a deep sigh.“She must be too exhausted. I recently discovered that she hadn’t been sleeping for three straight days now.” Kage clenched his jaw as he stared at Tamika.They could feel his arising annoyance towards the woman sleeping sound
Chapter 90POV: Queen Tamara PierceShe was standing in front of the massive window glass, where the nearly full moon shone brightly in the dark night sky, when a warm hug from behind her encased her inside.Tamara couldn’t help but smile as she smelled her husband’s familiar scent. She leaned against his chest as they both watched the moon’s lustrous magnificence.Her hair was slowly dancing with the cold wind from the open window.“You should be closing the window now. It is not safe.” Hades seriously reminded her as she heard the bathroom door close.But she didn’t move even a bit. She wanted to feel the cold breeze and close the wide window afterwards. She just missed this kind of atmosphere. She wanted to breath a bit.She heard Hades heave a breathy sigh because of her stubbornness as he slowly walked towards her.“Why aren’t you asleep yet?” Hades sensually whispered as he leaned down and placed his chin on her shoulder – pulling her a bit closer to her.“I am waiting for you.”
Chapter 91POV: Leah Darkwood“P-Please spare me and my b-baby, Leah. I… I beg you…” Tamara weakly pleaded, but her heart had already hardened by everything that had happened and nothing could ever make it softer again.She had already crossed the bridge where she couldn’t go back anymore. She had decided to do what she wanted, and she had to be firm in her decision.And that choice was to kill Tamara – and nothing else matters now.She could feel the bitterness dripping into her own inner self as she stared at the woman – who had taken everything from her.The woman who had always got everything that she wanted – being protected without her knowing, being loved without any inhibition and without anything in return.Leah instantly wiped away the tears that escaped from her own eyes – as she tried to stifle her intensifying and sensitive emotions.She smirked at her as she slightly shook her head – trying to make her mind set on her real plan, her real motive.There’s no turning back.
Chapter 92POV: Leah DarkwoodHer face turned paperwhite the moment she saw who had just called her name. She had never seen him as furious as this.She felt the hair at the back of her neck stand up as she stood still.“W-What are you doing here?! Stop!” She stammered as she tried to stop Aeron from walking towards her.“Stop doing such a stupid thing, Leah!” Aeron angrily snapped at her.Her mouth went agape as she watched Aeron take the knife from her hands and throw it away. She watched him as he panicked, watching Tamara’s condition in front of him. Her blood instantly boiled.“What the f*ck are you doing?!” She equaled the same ferocity that her younger brother had, but he seemed like he was more engrossed in how to free Tamara from the silver chains – regardless of whether he got burned from it.Leah furiously pulled his arm as she stopped him from untying the chain.“What the hell, Aeron?!” She angrily spat as an absurd idea had crossed her mind.No.She wouldn’t accept that f
Chapter 93POV: Lamina DarkwoodA loud crashing sound of a broken wine glass resonated in the entire room.Her heart began to beat so wild inside her chest that she knew something bad had happened. She weakly sat down as she felt her hands trembling unconsciously.Lamina swallowed hard as she heard Merelos enter her office. Her forehead creased as she saw his expression – pained, agonizing, and melancholic. It was like something bad really happened, but she needed to pull herself together.“M-Milady …” Merelos called her in his shaking and gruff voice.Her eyes squinted at him as she tried to contain her trembling hands.“What do you want?” She seriously inquired.“M-Milady …”But Merelos just called her once again.Her face hardened and her aura darkened.“What the f*ck do you need?!” She angrily snapped at him.But Merelos just flinched, but his expression remained.Then, she felt her world crumble down as Merelos finally found the courage to tell her the news. Her ears seemed to fe
Chapter 94POV: King Hades PierceTamara had just woken up, but she was shouting in pain. She was clutching her stomach as if it was throbbing so badly inside her that it was tormenting her inside. He felt like he was in complete torture because of Tamara’s condition.He stared at Elder Zeparu with a questioning look.“What is happening to her?” He voiced his frustrations out loud.Elder Zeparu’s expressionless face was making him more agitated. He was hoping that it wasn’t as bad as it seemed to be. But looking at Elder Zeparu right now – he already had a hunch as to his possible reply. He firmly closed his eyes as it turned pitch black because of frustration and hopelessness.He clenched his jaw as he opened his eyes.“She is s-suffering right now, Your Majesty. A-And you must prepare for the w-worst.” Elder Zeparu solemnly answered.His blood suddenly boiled with pure denial but fear slowly consumed him.‘No! Not Tamara and their baby!’He was pleading in his head. But his expressi
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
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
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
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
