"What is it?", I asked confused."You look so beautiful my eyes are about to pop off, oh goodness I am blinded by your aura", he added dramatically making Ruby and I burst into laughter."Don't worry about anything or anyone Sel, right! Agtha asked me to give this to you", He said with his hands outstretched."What is it?", My hands touched the extremely cold clothing in his hands, and I quickly withdrew my hand."Fairy tears, the essence of three beasts and the root of the Life and death flower. This is the cure she was talking about, you just have to put it on for three days After that you might get your sight back, temporarily though". Claudio explained leaving me stunned. Fairy tears? That is almost impossible to get because it's like asking for their source of power, Three Beast essence!!!! Are you kidding me, not to talk of the root of the Life and death flower, Legends have it that the flower can cure all kinds of injury or sickness but it has been extinct for Decades now, How
SELENE'S P.O.V [Point Of View]"Greetings Princess Selene". This voice rang in my ears, I felt it, and even though it was faint, I felt the spark! Could it be_.Before jumping to conclusions I confirmed from Lena, [ Lena you also felt it right? Can you see him?]. I asked in a rush.[I felt it but it was so faint, your beast essence is affecting me greatly, I can't see, I'm so weak... Even if you want to transform_ you can't].She responded, listening to her weak voice I felt bad, [I'm sorry for making you go through this Lena].[As long as we can get your sight back, I will do anything ]."Princess Selene".Prince Ethan called out stopping my interaction with Lena, "Yes_". I answered almost immediately."Have we met before?".He asked calmly making me smirk, It looks like we have met before. I was just about to reply when Alyssia snickered."Hmph!, The werewolves and the vampires have been enemies for as long as I can remember, How could you two have met, Unbelievable!".Alyssia said
We moved to the center of the hall where five majestic thrones stood tall and firm, from the aura the thrones exhibited, one could tell the difference.We sat down and waited for the meeting to commence."Long time no see Lockwood, Alyssia...". Odius teased."Just get talking already ". Lockwood replied all grumpy, it seems the old man hasn't gotten over what happened outside the barrier."As we all know this meeting is being held because of the sudden invasion of hybrids and their unknown origin. As we speak the Human world is facing the most attack, my guess is our anonymous enemy is right here in the human world". Odius explained. "Human world? Tch! Are you sure... I'd say we check the Vampire Empire". Alyssia spoke in hatred."I agree with Alyssia, since they have a hybrid as a Prince, what is stopping them from making more!". Lockwood added.Just like Father wanted the other clans suspect the vampires because of my origin, but this can't work, we need to get the real culprit,
"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
My heart clenched, disbelief roaring through my mind. “What?!” I gasped, taking a step back. “You… you dug out his heart?”.Iris let out a laugh that was hollow, twisted with grief. “After we left the prison, we tried to make a life together, staying in a small village, hidden from the world. I wanted to believe we could have peace. But then the news came. Mother had wiped out thousands of vampires—an entire generation—leaving only a handful who swore loyalty to her. The bloodline was decimated.“Alexander… he couldn’t take it. He snapped. Whatever control he had left unravelled that night. He went on a rampage, killing thousands in a single night—wolves, humans, and anything that crossed his path. He became the monster Mother feared, the very thing she cursed me to destroy.”Iris’s hands curled into fists, her voice trembling with suppressed emotion. “At first, he tried to hide it from me. He played the part of the loving mate, whispering sweet words while his hands dripped with bloo
Iris’s expression shifted, her mocking smile faltering as a shadow of sadness cast over her features. “Are you sure you want to know?” she asked, her voice quieter now, almost gentle, yet tinged with sorrow that made my chest tighten. “The truth is always bitter, you know. It has a way of unravelling everything you thought you knew, leaving you with nothing but the cold sting of reality.”Her words hung in the air_ heavy, but I refused to back down. My hands clenched into fists at my sides as I met her gaze, my own emotions a storm threatening to break free.“My life was built on lies, Iris,” I said, my voice trembling with the weight of my pain. “And it was far from sweet. So please…” I swallowed hard, forcing myself to hold her gaze. “Bless me with the bitterness.”For a long moment, Iris simply stared at me, her face unreadable. Then, slowly, she exhaled, “So be it,” she said, her voice no longer mocking or sad but steady. I braced myself for what Iris was about to reveal, but no
I woke up with a gasp, my heart pounding violently in my chest. Every detail of what had happened rushed back to me, slamming into my consciousness like a tidal wave. My hand instinctively flew to my neck, where I felt the sharp, stinging pain. I winced, my fingers trembling as they brushed over the tender spot."It hurts, right?"The voice came out of nowhere, echoing in my head and making my eyes snap open. I then realised I was not in my bedroom, I was back to that white place. Very familiar.The same endless white void where I first met that strange old woman—the one who had healed my eyes and told me things that surged my powers.I pushed myself up quickly, my legs unsteady beneath me. My eyes darted around, searching for the source of the voice."Come. I'm waiting for you," the voice called again, calm yet commanding, echoing as though it came from everywhere and nowhere all at once.I swallowed hard, trying to gather myself, but I felt disoriented. My body still ached, the pain
"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
