Third Person’s Point of View[An hour and a half earlier before Terrence went to Heli]“Alright. Explain.”Ari and Maki exchanged looks. Maki looked at the woman with wide, imploring eyes, telling her to take the mantle because she was the braver one among them. While Ari glared at the man, rolling her eyes as she realised Maki wouldn’t explain.“Luna Mirien ordered us to abduct Prince Helios’ mate,” Ari bluntly said, which she regrets because of the ear-splitting scream the female shapeshifter lets out.“WHAT DID YOU JUST—” “Aubrey,” Terrence called his friend before she could even get close to the two werewolves. “Don’t yell.”“But Terrence, didn’t you hear—”“I heard it, but let them finish first before getting mad.”“But—”“Aubrey,” he called the female shapeshifter in an authoritative tone that left no room for argument. “Let them talk first.”Aubrey clicked her tongue in disapproval, but remained silent. Terrence felt slightly guilty. He hates using that tone on his friend, but
Third Person’s Point of View[A few minutes earlier, before Terrence went to Heli]It was rare for Aubrey and Terrence to walk together in silence. Aubrey has always been cheerful and talkative, so having her silent feels so wrong in many ways.“Aubrey,” Terrence called. “Go back to my room and tell those two to hide in their room.”“Alright,” Aubrey said and turned around. Terrence just watched her, knowing that it’d be better to talk to the woman later instead of prying right now. Besides, he still has something to do.He needs to go and talk to Heli, which is the first part of Akiro’s plan.[“Once you leave here, shift back to your original form and go to my mate’s room. He’s the one who can help polish my plans in case I’m wrong about some things. He’ll be the one to act after all.”] was what Akiro said.So that’s what Terrence is going to do. He weaved through the halls, but paused when he realised something.He didn’t know where Heli was. He doesn’t know which room he stays in.
Third Person’s Point of View“Alliah is pregnant, and I’m the father.”There was a moment of silence that ensued, as if they were all processing what Heli had just dropped on them.And then, seemingly at once, all the people inside the courtroom— except for the Luna and her guards, as well as Hale and the three werewolves with them— exploded in a fit of rage and disbelief.Their screams mixed with each other to the point it became incomprehensible. The vampires were extremely furious at Heli for what they believed was a ‘betrayal’ not only to their family and legacy, but also to poor, innocent Akiro, who Heli forcibly brought into their world only to just drop him after impregnating the daughter of an allied kingdom.Alpha Antonius was mad for the same reason, but to Alliah instead of Heli. He was mad because he was disappointed. He thought he raised his daughter better than that. He never expected his sweet daughter to be a mistress, especially to a vampire, a being different from th
Third Person’s Point of ViewAkiro was bored to death. Ever since Terrence left, he's been left alone in the room where he’s locked in. And it’s been more than an hour since he’d seen someone and talked to another person, so being left alone without anything to do is slowly getting into his nerves.Another hour after he’s left alone, he thinks he might just go crazy. He didn’t know the true value of talking to another person, no matter who it was, until he was left all alone. He wished everything went according to Heli’s plan, and someone free him from this hellhole he finds himself in.He had no doubt their plan would work. He knew it would, no matter what Heli did. He knew Heli’s anger would drive him to make everything go according to his plan. So there’s no doubt of their success.He was lying down on the bed, on the verge of falling asleep, when he heard heavy footsteps approaching. He jumped up in surprise, and before he could even stand up, the door rattled loudly and was force
Third Person’s Point of ViewWhen Heli entered Alliah’s room, he immediately saw her on the bed. She’s leaning on the headboard, a book in her hand. She looked up when the door opened and when Heli came in, her face immediately went blank.Heli frowned at that. “Are you alright, Alliah?”“Yes, I’m alright. Why are you here?”Her tone was clipped and dismissive, as if she didn’t want him there. “You sound upset,” Heli said. “Is it because of last night? Alliah, you know I did that so you can finally be free of your vile mother. I thought you’d be relieved to finally get rid of her.”“I’m not upset about that,” Alliah mumbled, her head bowed down. “And you’re right; I’m relieved she wasn’t here anymore. I’m happy she’s finally getting punished.”“Then what’s wrong? Why do you look like you don’t want me here? If you’re not upset, then why can’t you look at me?” Heli asked, taking a step closer.But he immediately stopped on his track when he heard a sniffle. He watched with wide eyes a
Third Person’s Point of ViewAkiro woke up earlier than Heli. He moved as quietly as he could, not wanting to disturb his mate’s peaceful sleep. He quietly did his morning routine and decided to go out for a while before he eats breakfast. He suddenly remembered that he wasn’t able to enjoy much of the small pond he saw when he was looking for the garden. He chuckled as he also remembered how Heli hugged Terrence, thinking it was me. Akiro can still see in his mind the horrified look on Heli’s face at the realisation he was hugging the wrong man.“You’re in a good mood,” a voice startled him out of his thoughts. When he whirled around, smiling as he saw Terrence and Aubrey approaching.“Good morning!” Akiro greeted the two shapeshifters.“Fancy seeing you here again, cutie!” Aubrey cheerfully exclaimed. Akiro chuckled. “Yeah. What a coincidence, huh?”“AKIROOO! MY CUTEST, HUMAN FRIEND!”Before he could even turn to greet the newcomers, Akiro was already tackled by another cheerful w
Third Person’s Point of ViewAkiro was unceremoniously slammed on the door of their room as soon as Heli entered. Soft lips captured his dry ones, licking every cavern of his mouth. All while Heli’s hands kept on moving from Akiro’s lithe waist, to his back, his neck, and his face. His lips traveled down on Akiro’s bared neck, sucking near the mark. He smiled in satisfaction at the red spot he left, knowing that it’ll turn purple later. He continued ravishing his mate’s beautiful neck, sharp jaw, and parted lips. “Not that I d-don’t like this... but what prompted you to do this?” Akiro asked in between gasps since Heli didn’t stop sucking on the skin of his neck. He knew it’d mark later, but at the moment, Akiro didn’t have the heart to stop his mate.“Can’t I just miss my mate?” Heli mumbled.“You can, I was just— ah!” Both of them freeze as realisation hits them.Heli had pulled Akiro’s body closer, and he lifted one of his mate’s toned legs to his waist and accidentally grinding
THE Crown Prince was lazily strolling inside the Royal Palace of Regia Solaria. It was the weekend, and so he was free of any duty, and he used it to wander around. Training endlessly to become the next ruler of their kingdom is exhausting, and he felt so trapped inside the training room that if he stayed for another day, he might just get suffocated.And his mate was busy doing other things since it was also her day off from training.So here he is now, wandering around aimlessly. He lets his feet lead him anywhere, uncaring of where he ends up. Much to his surprise, he saw himself in front of the Royal Vault. He wasn’t exactly drawn by it, but then he wasn’t really focusing on any destination and let himself walk anywhere around the castle. So he couldn’t say why his feet brought him here.Shrugging— and then he looked around, nervous that his mother might see it— he went inside the Royal Vault.It was dark inside, with only a few torches lighting up the place. He could spot some g

Third Person’s Point of View[Two hours earlier, before Terrence went to Heli]“Who do you think you are to talk to me like that?”The Luna’s cold voice sent shivers down Akiro’s spine, making him scream internally because of his stupid mouth, which had to be unfiltered right at this moment.From the corner of his eyes, he saw the two— Ari and Maki— standing stiffly behind Luna Mirien, watching him with wide, terrified eyes. Maki was slightly shaking his head, as if telling Akiro not to respond and antagonise the Luna even more.But if Akiro remains meek and silent, the Luna would think he’s weak and submissive— and Akiro’s anything but that. He refuses to cower in fear to the ruthless woman who did unforgivable things to her own daughter. “I am not one of your servants who worshiped the ground you walk on,” Akiro responded in an equally hard voice. “I am not one of your packmates. So don’t think for a second that I will kneel before you, especially after this stunt you pulled.”Ari
Third Person’s Point of ViewHeli was fuming, and no one was there to calm him.But he remained cool-headed despite the brewing anger inside his chest, which surprised him. Though as he thinks about it, he realises why.Akiro needs him, and if he wants to keep his mate safe before he finds him, he has to remain calm and collected. Because if he just charged in without any plan, it might affect Akiro. And hell will break loose if his mate gets hurt because he acted impulsively.So despite the urge to just barge inside the Luna’s room and punch the answer out of her, Heli reigned himself in.He makes sure of his conclusions first, not wanting to stress himself out if it turns out his mate just went somewhere. He roamed across the whole kingdom in search of his mate. He even went to Finnegan’s room, hoping for the first time that Akiro was there and that he wasn’t abducted.And when he didn’t find him, he returned to his room. He knew he might do something he’d regret if he stayed outsid
