{Book 1 of the 'Tamed Series'} Since time immemorial, two fore-standing Races of the beings that inhabit the Wisterne Continent, have been in an unending dispute. They say the Demons prowl the living, corrupting and enticing their souls into oblivion. And the Werewolves receive a gift at the dawn of every Healing Ritual, in the exaltation of their most venerated Moon deity.~~Himari Orion has dreamt of the Healing Ritual since she turned fourteen, hoping she can bring pride to the Pack’s Gamma family with the transformation into her wolf. On the night of the coveted ceremony that occurs once a decade, she’s pronounced an Omega, a derogatory title stigmatized by the rest of her kind. The impaling aftermath leaves her hollowed and left with a shriveled ambition.Wrongly accused of orchestrating the ‘Darkling’ sudden attack on her Pack, she’s forced to flee, having no other choice but to trust in whatever resides across the river that separates her race from the rest of the world.Zorien Virote is one of the last remaining High-tier Demons and a prodigal son to the Royal family; an uncontestable warrior set to guard the riverbank and eliminate all were-beings upon sight. He is driven by a ferocious distrust for women, forcing him to end the lives of all his mates until he stumbles into the runaway she-wolf he’s been observing since her conception.“You’re the goddess’ chosen, Himari. No harm will come to you, and you’ll live to fulfill your destiny.”An ancient Black Flame that incinerates all Demons into ashes…Will Himari be able to heal the wound inflicted upon this peculiar Demon? And will Zorien take on the responsibility to kill his final mate and choose the victory of his race over his tender love?
View MoreHimari’s POV.-I don’t think I’ve ever met a guy as meek as Damon. Especially not a Demon. He reminds me so much of the late King, and it’s a warmth that makes me smile tenderly as I watch him rise tentatively to tower easily over Vilma’s 5ft, 10inches.Zorien and Kitra huff together and Zorien teases while leaning over me and placing his chin atop my head. “What spell did you cast on my little brother, Vilma? He’s become subservient to you”.I frown, “Zorien, get off, you’re heavy”.He ignores me, avenging what I did to him earlier and Vilma flushes briefly as she timidly glances at Damon who’s still shy to show us his red face. She mumbles, “It’s not like I did anything diabolic….”I’m giggling with Kitra when Vilma jumps into sudden action and grabs Damon by the hand. She pulls him away, escaping from our taunts in the next second. Kitra turns to face us while laughing cruelly, “She talked so big, and there she goes running away with her Demon lover. They’ve got somethi
Himari’s POV.-Zorien twirls me free and when I’m expecting to go back into his arms and stretch my arms out in his direction, someone comes sweeping me neatly away and I gasp to see the red-haired Demon.He grins cheekily at me and I pout, accepting to continue the dance with him in hopes to appease Zorien later.“I heard about your heroic achievements from the war. I understand now, why he’s kept you his biggest life’s secret” He says to me with a twinge of interest, and I flush embarrassedly, blinking my eyes low as I speak in a small voice, “Well, it’s not like I’m still a secret anymore”.“I disagree.” He objects and I lift my gaze to see him still hosting the same expression on his face as he goes on to say, “The rest of our cousins still don’t know about you. They’ll scorch Zorien when they get the word”.Damien chuckles at my shocked expression and prepares to let go of me as he drops a note, “There are many continents out there, Luna Himari”.I’m caught in a tra
Himari’s POV.-After the war and our lands were left in devastation, all three races were left in a state of commotion on what would be the way to drive forward to recover from the damages suffered. Queen Zorah had risen to revive hope in the hearts of her people and the humans. And for the Were-beings, they’ve been opining I take the title of Luna and not just lead my Pack, but the entirety of my race henceforth.I rub my hands nervously as I keep glancing out the window from the pulled curtain to see the warriors outside my family’s home. I’m so anxious that I could die right now. Werewolves, Were-Bears, Were-Cats, name them all! They’ve all arranged for a ceremony at the Grey Woods Pack which is the largest among the Wolf Packs, where I’ll have my coronation as the supreme leader of our race.Oh gosh, I can’t go out there!It’s been six months since the war and Wisterne is still firming its feet and making do without crutches. Ever since Queen Zorah took over the throne
Himari’s POV.-I watch with a warm smile as she pulls Zorien into her embrace, continuously fiddling with his hair as her other arm holds him tightly around the torso. Zorien looks clueless about this form of affection, and it cracks me a bit when he moves his arms awkwardly to hold her.I’m about to start poking fun at him when we’re rudely interrupted by a malicious presence. We snap towards the sudden presence and see the Queen hovering above us with a vile smile on her haunting face.In her captive, is the unconscious King?“Well, well, what do we have here? What a heartful family reunion, is it? How can you go ahead with it when you’re missing one more member?”Tch, how’s this coward still alive? I glower infuriatingly at her and I’m about to make a move when Zorien steps into my front. His demonic aura is maddening and I recoil from him with haste.“You lied and made them believe my mother was behind my father’s death. The biggest mishap I made was ever trusting yo
Himari’s POV. - The blaring call of my name snaps me out of my reverie right in time with the expulsion of black fire that basks the air around me. I fall, colliding my back into crispy crushes of rapidly incinerating things that deafen my ears with their agonizing cries. Strength returns to my arms and I jerk them to try and control the crippling pressure of the repugnant fire erupting more destructively beneath me. Of course, I’m hit by the rebound as well, having the tremendous force slamming into my body and sending me to crash against the hard and uneven ground with a painful scream. I hit my body in many areas as I roll to lay still on my back. The pain tremors along the erratic rhythm of my unstable pants and rip wringing cries from my lips. Yet, I need to get back up and see what has happened to my friends and my Familiar. Who called my name back then? Was it Welma? Is Vilma okay? Ow, my head hurts. Dragging my aching body up on shaky legs, I realize I’ve fallen on a comp
Himari’s POV.-‘Mari, I think they’re coming. The Were-Bears and Were-Cats are here’.As Welma’s message filters into my mind, Runa nearly falters as we close in on the PackHouse. Just then, I pick up the deafening roar of an Alpha Bear and I turn around to see them. A huge Black Bear, bigger than any I’ve seen, comes charging forward with a numerous horde behind it. Without any further hints, I recognize its heavy aura that informs me it's that Alpha Bear I had challenged a few hours ago.I wonder what must’ve gotten them to change their minds. Either way, that’ll help speed things up and we can ensure the safety of my people. Runa rears back as Tristan guides the people where to go. The Bears catch up and I meet direct gazes with the Black Bear.‘You have our sincerest apologies, little Omega. We were foolish to have doubted our own in favor of a traitor’ He communicates to me and Runa shakes her head softly, lowering to gently nudge the side of a little boy to prevent hi
Himari’s POV.-“Pardon my intrusion, Alphas, but the negotiations end here.”Whatever discussion that must’ve been ongoing stops at my rude entrance, and I shudder beneath the heavy atmosphere ridden with the auras of the eight Alphas that constitute the Were-Bears and Were-Cats Pack Leaders.All eyes fall on me and I nearly feel my soul about to abscond this scene immediately. I have to bear with it, I need to brave through and get my intention across. All Alphas are seated at the large round table, and along the wall nearest to me, is a fully stocked long bar counter. I see my dad standing not too far from me with Winter beside him.The manner I find them is enough to decipher how little progress they’ve made. To have them not seated and on their feet instead, depicts their arrogant disregard for us. They’re not even willing to give us a fair hearing, is that it? Alright then, here goes nothing.I take quick strides as I enter further into the room, seeing Winter and d
Himari’s POV.-“Mom! Dad!”I race up the porch steps and push the door to get into the house while panting and trembling. Haru appears in the corridor and I hasten up to her with the others coming in as well. She looks at me anxiously and says, “They’ve gone to your Pack since an hour ago. They wanted to go warn the other Packs about your Alpha and ginger them into war”.“What? But mom said they were still here and we needed to go here” Welma darts to my side urgently and Haru only sighs solemnly and pauses for a moment.“There’s no time, the Darklings are no longer dormant and after discovering Zorien’s mother’s action earlier, they had no choice. Your territory could go extinct”I stagger and step away from Haru, reeling into dysphoria. Things are plunging worse each second. I have to go there, the people I love are still there. The Omegas, Tristan’s, and Vilma’s families are there. The other Were-beings...everyone’s lives are at stake.“Mari!”I’m bounding out the d
Himari’s POV.-There’s a massive hole that’s been carved to the outside as my feet struggle to firm their footing. As the daylight pours in and debris falls from above and hit the nearly completely deleted ground, my awing eyes continue to expand stupendously as I take in the beauty of these beings staring down at me.Their emerald eyes, large and gem-like, seem to be particular as they concentrate on me. Large heads with a blue-lit symbol of the crescent moon carved into the middle of their foreheads, huge black Dragon wings a little open at their sides as their massive bodies prop up on their limbs. The one to the left has a thick fine grey mane that frames its face, while the other appears to be a female without a mane.Oh dear...they’re so huge. Are they supposed to come out like this? How did they fit inside that egg? Not to mention they’re two!My mind dizzies and I stagger, falling back against Zorien who speaks, “I don’t think this is the right size they should come
Himari’s POV. - Standing outside the supposed building I’ll be living from now on, I gulp, wearing my perplexity as I peer up at the rickety two-story building four feet away from my position. It’s situated behind the Packhouse and for starters, the porch looks so old and practically falling apart, with gathered patches of moss here and there. Then there’s the fading paint on the body of the house, giving it a very sickly appearance. ‘Oh boy, this is my new house?’ Truly, Omegas aren’t regarded with any form of respect at all. I let out a sigh and stroll towards the porch, climbing over loudly protesting wood that makes my face glow with intense heat from embarrassment. ‘What a rather profound declaration of my arrival’. I just hope I haven’t disturbed the occupants inside. I feel my chest rising and falling towards the possibility of indeed doing that and as I drop my luggage on the floor next to my feet, the door suddenly comes open to present a pair of funny sea-blue orbs. “A...
