"Then what is our way forward?". Odius asked."Unity_". Alyssia said, and for the first time, I agreed with her."At this point, we must all work together". King Lockwood added."Also, let's check the most attacked areas to see if we can find any clue". Prince Ethan suggested. "Agreed, there's no way the culprit won't leave a trace". Odius said."If that is the case then I 1do not think all of us together is a good idea". I voiced out honestly."What do you mean Princess?". Odius asked."I'd say King Lockwood and the great one, return to their respective clans, meanwhile I, and Prince Ethan and will handle things here", I explained briefly. "What Princess Selene is trying to say is, The fairy kingdom and the witch clan, need their rulers in a time like this. Any updates will be communicated anyways, since we are not sure of the identity of our hybrid maker it is best all clans hold their ground ready to face any attack". Prince Ethan explained carefully making me smirk."Alright,
The next daySELENE'S P.O.VOpening my eyes I was enveloped in extreme darkness, it was not that strange after all I had lived in darkness all my life but this time it was different the cold aura slowly seeped into my skin, This was not the Human world."Where am I?" I asked hoping for a reply but nothing, "Is anybody there?" I shouted again but my voice died down instantly. "La_La_la la la_la la". A melodious hum floated into my ears making me feel assured and calm. "How beautiful, Who is there?" I asked but no answer.The melody continued so I decided to move forward following the voice.With my eyes shut tight I moved forward step by step following the melodious voice.The humming got louder and clearer, realizing I was getting close to the source I braced myself and walked faster, just then a bright light suddenly hit me forcing me to open my eyes.I can't believe it, I could see... This must be a dream.Right in front of me was an old woman with golden hair and eyes, gold dust
"I can finally see you". I said subconsciously.My eyes widened as I remembered his face, he is My mate... I remember vividly he was the one I saved in my wolf form."Sel, are you okay?". Claudio rushed to my side, I gently looked at him from head to toe, "I can see you_". I muttered softly with tears brimming out of my eyes."Huh! Sel where is the white gauze? You are not supposed to remove it yet". He said worried.I held his hands and looked at him straight in the eye, "Brown tousled hair, brown eyes, a mole below your left eye and another above your lips". I described everything I saw making his mouth wide open. "I can see you, Claudio". I repeated."Oh heavens! How is this possible? Sel you can finally see!". He shouted and pulled me in a tight hug.During our moment, Prince Ethan slowly stood up about to leave, without thinking twice I reached for his hands and stopped him, he turned back as if shocked by my actions. I freed myself from Claudio and looked at him, "Thank you..."
"What about our world, has there been any attack?"."I have not received any news from Alyssia and Lockwood since they left, lets contact them now". Odius said and brought out the transmission stone Alyssia gave to us.I and Selene did the same and the stones glowed as Alyssia and King Lockwood's voices could be heard."Odius, is everything okay over there?". King Lockwood asked.Odius sighed before replying, "Not good, the attacks are getting more and more rampant, if this continues I won't be able to hide it again, if this gets to the council I don't know how to face them".So there is a council for the Human world, no wonder Odius was so unsettled."Great one, King Lockwood, How is it over there?". Selene asked calmly. "Very Serene, No sight of the hybrids at all, I heard your Dad sent some wolves to scout for hybrids but they returned empty-handed". Alyssia said."What exactly are these Hybrids up to?". Odius said with greeted teeth."The better question is who is behind this nui
"I wish our world was like this...". I muttered silently. "You are only saying that because you are only seeing its beauty, believe me, Sel, humans are worse than beasts!". Claudio spoke with so much disgust and hatred that I was shocked to the core."Claudio, is there something you aren't telling me?". I asked, I remember when Claudio was 15 and I was 13, he was sent to the human world by my father for a special mission. Claudio has kept his mouth sealed about the whole experience and now... This weird behavior is all too suspicious. He averted his gaze from mine and said, "Not at all".Now I know he is hiding something from me, but I won't probe further, I believe if he wanted me to know he would have told me.The scenery changed as the car entered the woods, seeing the tall fresh trees Lena couldn't wait to leap out."Hold on girl". I said to calm her.Just when I was enjoying the fresh breath and beautiful scenery, my nose suddenly caught a foul stench, making my face scrunch up
I see... Claudio collected their last memories before their death... Perfect!.A large rectangle appeared on his hands and scenes started to appear on it. I paid close attention scrutinizing every movement. It started with them having fun, singing dancing, and drinking, until four weird humans joined them. I'm sure they couldn't spot anything wrong with them, they must have thought they were other camp members, but I could see it in their eyes... That amber golden eyes, Hybrids! Just like the one I encountered, I found Ethan. I glanced at him and the look in his eyes tells me he remembers the incident clearly. Did he ever try to look for me? Or has he forgotten me? Even if I was in my wolf form he should still be able to remember me right? I asked myself sadly before focusing my attention back on the screen.The four Hybrids started to move around compelling the poor humans one by one, they were compelled to stay still like mannequins as their blood was sucked dry.They removed dag
The wolves snarled getting ready to attack, come to think of it, it has been a while since I had last exercised. I held my walking stick excitedly.Claudio tapped me and said excitedly, "Sel, remember the games we played when we were kids?".My lips curved into a smirk on hearing this, "I'm in, whoever kills the most gets to ask the loser for anything they want"."Let go then". Claudio shouted before leaping into the air.Seeing him floating in the air and taking out wolves like he was playing a game, I felt the vigor.Looking at my walking stick, I twisted the jade head and a sharp blade like a sword appeared. The day Father gave this to me, Mother secretly told me he had Agatha make it with the best Jade and the strongest blade. Now that I think of it, it was all to protect myself. I didn't waste any more time and began slicing those wolves, just like I expected their wounds healed quickly and they were stronger than normal."Rip their hearts out!!!!". I yelled as I bathed in hybri
After running for a while, I stopped and dug my paws into the ground, the rumbling of the wolves startled me.'Just how many are they?!', I listened well to the rumbling and detected the silent area with no wolves, 'West'.I turned left and ran at full speed, 'Hold on! Why does it seem like I have been here before ?'. I looked around carefully, 'I have been here before'. Seeing my countless paw marks I realize I have been running yet arriving at the same position, 'This is insane! I'm trapped in a mace!'.ETHAN'S POVSurrounded by a pack of hybrids I was more than ready to take them down. With my speed clearing them out was easier, I couldn't help but steal glances at Selene, her white T-shirt was dripping blood but I sighed in relief knowing it had to be the hybrid's blood. Her golden curves swayed with her every move, Now I see why her name is known far and wide... Her courage is on another level. I suddenly noticed the more we killed these wolves more kept coming like they were f
"Are you sure?". He asks; I guess he wasn't shocked by my actions. He just wanted to be sure I was ready. I nodded, and his left hand held my head in place from hitting the wall while his other hand was taking a stroll on my body, calmly removing every piece of clothing on me; his lips responded to mine as he sucked essence out of me.The feeling, the pleasure, it was all too overwhelming. I had to gasp for air."Don't forget to breathe". He teased before kissing harder.A ball of pleasure slowly bottled up between my legs. I squeezed my legs tight together, hoping it would ease me, but it only made it worse; my breathing was ragged."Mmh". I flushed the moment I realised this came from me, but it was a sign for him; before I knew it, he scooped me up in his arms and carried me to the bed; I couldn't care less; I was just lost in the moment.Desire burned in his eyes as he looked at me.His hands truly worked wonders, I was left with only a singlet and my panties on. Seeing his cloth
Father’s sharp gaze swept over the neatly arranged documents on his desk, his fingers brushing lightly against the edges. He looked up at me, his piercing eyes studying my face. “You organized these,” he said, his tone calm but probing. “Then you must have seen what’s inside.”I nodded, leaning back slightly in my chair. “Yes, I have,” I admitted, my voice steady, though worry weighed on me. “We’re in a vulnerable state, Father.”His eyes darkened, his jaw tightening as he absorbed my words. The silence between us grew heavy until he finally sighed, sinking into his chair.I couldn’t stop myself from asking the question that had been burning in my mind. “Why is the Crown Prince of the Vampire Empire here?” My voice was steady, but the curiosity—and worry—were clear.Father’s lips curved into a faint, ironic smile. “I’m not entirely sure,” he said thoughtfully. “But I’ll tell you this: he caused quite a stir. In front of his father, no less. Boldly requested to accompany me, claiming h
SELENE'S POVThe room felt still, the only sound being the rustle of papers as I went through Father’s stack of documents. My mind wasn’t entirely on the task, though. My fingers moved mechanically, sorting through the mess of reports, charts, and plan."My lady, are you alright?" Ruby's voice broke through my thoughts, gentle and concerned. She paused beside me, arranging the scattered papers across the table. "Ever since you left to meet the Alpha’s visitor, you’ve seemed... distant. Restless, even."I forced a smile, "It’s nothing," I said, burying myself deeper in the pile of paperwork. "I’m just worried about Father.Ruby’s eyes softened as she studied me, her lips parting to say something, but she hesitated. After a moment, she sighed and continued to arrange the documents. "It’s quite late, my lady," she said, her voice quieter now. "You’ve been at this for hours. Kael and the others are still outside. They refuse to leave, claiming they won’t rest until you do."I glanced up,
The air in the room grew heavier, as though Father’s words had drawn a dark veil over everyone present.Alpha Lucas’s easy demeanor hardened, his expression shifting into one of sharp calculation. “So, you’ve felt it as well,” he said, his voice low and guarded.“It’s no longer about sensing,” Father replied, his tone grim. “It’s here, spreading like a slow poison. The shadows grow restless, emboldened. The walls that once safeguarded us falter by the day.”Alicia’s silver eyes narrowed, her pride visibly prickling. “Are you insinuating this has to do with the breach we experienced when the barrier collapsed?”Father’s gaze locked onto hers, cool and cutting. “I’m not insinuating, Alicia. I’m stating a fact. That breach was no mere incident. It was a calculated move—a prelude to something far more sinister.”The silence that followed was oppressive, thick with unease. Even the most steadfast elders exchanged uneasy glances.“And the sudden surge in newly turned hybrids,” Alpha Lucas a
ETHAN'S POV I sat there, my back stiff, my gaze fixed on the elders as they exchanged glances, whispers of tension brewing beneath their composed facades. I waited, calm and deliberate, observing the dynamics at play, searching for anyone who might pose a threat to my Selene. Let them reveal their intentions first.Father began the meeting, his commanding tone slicing through the murmurs as he addressed the upcoming Annual Youth Contest. A grand tradition, meant to showcase the strength and unity of the clans, and for the first time, it would be hosted here in the vampire empire.Zeke, my older brother, had always been the one to represent us—his victories as predictable as the tides. But with his betrayal leaving him locked away in the dungeons, the mantle now fell to me. I didn’t mind. What did trouble me was the absence I felt in my heart.Her.My Little Goddess.Selene had dominated this contest four years in a row, her grace and power carving an unforgettable mark. But after eve
She stepped forward suddenly, and the sharp edge of my sword pierced her flesh. My eyes widened in shock. “What are you doing—?”She took another deliberate step, and the blade sank in fully. My grip faltered as panic shot through me. “Do you want to die?!” I shouted, my voice echoing in the still room.Her lips curled into a sad smile, tears glistening in her impossibly dark eyes. “I’ve missed you so much,” she whispered, her voice trembling with raw emotion. “When I heard you were back, I couldn’t believe it. But I still had to see for myself.” Her gaze softened as she stepped even closer, the sword embedding further into her. “Iris… you’re finally back.”Anger flared like wildfire in my chest at the sound of that name. “I’m not her!” I yelled, my voice cracking under the weight of my frustration. With a burst of strength, I yanked the sword free and delivered a swift kick to her chest, sending her sprawling to the ground.I expected to see blood, evidence of the damage my blade had
The training ground buzzed with life as Imara, Kael, Theron, and I stood in a tight circle, poring over strategies to strengthen the pack’s security. Kael's experience and Imara's sharp intellect made them valuable in this discussion. Theron, as ever, provided insights with his analytical mind, every word precise and calculated."My lady," Eira's calm yet urgent voice cut through the conversation, drawing my attention. I turned to see her approaching briskly, her icy blue eyes narrowed in concern."Yes, Eira?" I asked, sensing something unusual in her tone."Someone is requesting the Alpha’s presence," she said, her voice measured but laced with unease.I raised an eyebrow. "Oh? And who might that be?"Her gaze sharpened slightly as she replied, "I have no idea, my lady. She’s covered in a white cloak and passed through the guards and security as if they weren’t even there."That caught my full attention. "Where is she now?""Alpha’s quarters, my lady," Eira said without hesitation."
The training ground was bustling now, a sea of soldiers flooding the open space. The air buzzed with the energy of sharpening weapons, sparring matches, and laughter. As I continued helping Ruby steady her aim, I couldn’t ignore the way the soldiers’ eyes drifted toward me, admiration clear in their expressions.“Greetings, Princess,” they called out in unison, their voices echoing.I nodded curtly in acknowledgement, my focus unwavering. Ruby, barely flinched under the attention. She was focused and determined. I had to admit that her improvement was impressive. Each arrow she fired struck closer and closer to the bullseye.“Keep it steady,” I murmured, stepping aside to give her space. “Your form is excellent—don’t rush the shot.”Ruby exhaled slowly, releasing the arrow. It flew straight and struck dead centre. A smile lit her face, and I couldn’t help but mirror it.“You’re getting better,” I praised, clapping her on the shoulder.“My lady.”The familiar and respectful tone pulled
Natalie kept stealing glances at me as we walked, her tension palpable. I caught her gaze once and smirked faintly. "Go on, Natalie. You have something to say."She hesitated, biting her lip before letting out a soft sigh. "Your mother’s worried about you," she admitted, her voice tinged with concern. "I suppose the rumours must have reached her ears by now."Ah, the rumours. I couldn’t help but chuckle, the sound dry and humourless. "Ah, yes. Everyone in the empire now calls me the devil. What a charming title."Natalie frowned at my response, her brow furrowing as she glanced at me again. "You haven’t gone to see her in a while," she said gently, though there was a trace of reproach in her tone. "It’s only natural she’d be worried. Can you blame her?"I nodded, the weight of her words sinking in. "You’re right," I murmured, my voice quieter now. "I’ll see her after the meeting."Natalie relaxed slightly at my answer, though her expression remained thoughtful, "And you are not a devi
