Ch-23Adira felt her world come to a halt seeing him behave like this. She knew they had a few disagreements but she thought they could sort them out after this wedding.He was acting abnormally from the day he gave her a necklace for breakfast. It's as if he was under a spell. She felt tired and drained after all the things that happened. She didn't even have the energy to think about what he did to her.Her brain was shutting down along with her eyelids. But she shook her head and ate her part of the food. She let her maids get her ready for the banquet. She was left alone to greet others. While her husband greeted the elders on his own after they were done doing the segments they were supposed.When someone asked him where his wife was he replied saying that, he made her sit as he was afraid of her getting tired. Many teased him and her. But deep down in her heart, she knew what his intentions were.After the painful banquet, she returned to her chambers. She wasn't allowed to eat
Ch-24(1) Adira decided to do something that would make her feel more miserable. She didn’t join the dining table frequently. Adira had food when Zaros was absent in the chambers. She arranged a mattress for herself to sleep on the floor in the dressing room so she doesn’t get bashed. Her mother informed her that there would be a lady’s day. Maybe she can get some information about her husband from her sister-in-law. This way her suffering would end a little. With these little hopes, she got up and got ready for the lady’s day as a new bride. She deserves happy marriage just like others. It’s not wrong to give it a try. Lady’s day is a perfect opportunity. After she was done getting ready, her mother came with a maid with a drink. “Drink this, and follow your maid to the lady’s wing,” Serene said to Adira. Adira nodded and drank the weird drink. She was guided to the lady’s wing. Her sister-in-law was still missing. She got to know that her mother went to bring her. Even Leno
Ch-25(1) "So, we will pick a baby or infant who is about to die or will die young and turn them into vampires. Or if humans make a deal with us in exchange for something we will take them and turn them into our potential successors," Eudora explained. "Also… there is a myth that the hymen is a layer and when a man penetrates it will break and comes out of the women's vagina. It's wrong actually… a hymen will have a hole. When a man penetrates the hole will stretch," Eudora added again. Serene nodded as if agreeing to Eudora's words. On the other hand, Many things made a point to Lenora but there was one thing that made her mull over. New doubts aroused in her mind when she heard Eudora's words. As Lenora thought about it… she felt she was more different than usual. Lenora always thought she was never fit in the vampire race. Now… hearing Eudora's words… she even started doubting whether if she was a vampire or not. Wait… isn't Ophelia a special case? Maybe rising her topic and know
Ch-26"Sister-in-law~~" she called cutely."Fine, fine… he isn't a picky eater. But won't say no to yummy food. Likes blood which is heated and mixed with chocolate," Lenora said."Won't that be weird?" Adira asked with a frown."Indeed… but that's his taste. What can I do?" Lenora said."Sigh… he is so weird," Adira said thinking of Zaros."Indeed," Lenora agreed.There was a comfortable silence between them for a while. No one made an attempt to talk with each other."I am kind of scared of him. He is so grumpy all the time," Adira said."Well… he is raised to be a king. So… he was taught to be suspicious of everything. Even when he was served food… he would do a poison check before eating. He is that suspicious. When you get closer to him… he will do and give everything he can to you to protect you," Lenora said."Oh," Adira said."It will take time to understand him… but he is a good man," Lenora added.There was another wave of thick silence enveloped them."So why don't you fulf
Ch-27 He almost misunderstood her because of her. She can't be so ridiculous. He has to fix his thinking from now about his mother all over again. she changed with the company of his mother-in-law. Looks like her mother-in-law was a bad influence. Wait... what if all vampire women change with the company of Werewolf women? They have to leave as soon as possible from this place. "Stupid rituals!" he muttered and was about to walk away. Eudora just laughed at his behavior. "Son, carry her to her room," Eudora said. Zaros immediately turned around and looked at her with an annoyed expression. But for some reason, he even wanted to go ahead and take a look at her even if he hated her. "She is inside," Eudora said and showed him the way. He walked with hurried steps into that room with grumpy steps or more as he acted like a grumpy. The moment he entered the said chambers, his mouth opened widely at the scene he saw. The scene he saw there left him speechless. Entering the chambers,
Ch-28Many more questions swirled in her mind. She couldn't remember the whole dream only a few segments. Maybe it's not just a dream but the events that were buried in her head were coming out in the form of the dream.As she moved she felt pain all over her body, just like how painful for her in her dream. She thought her body was painful in the dream but it was real.She could feel the same pain crawling all over her body every time she had this particular. What's wrong with her brain and mind?With a sigh… she turned her head to the side and drank some water. After drinking water she felt a lot better. She again fell into her sleep. She didn't even notice the presence of Maximus and Zaros.Normally, she couldn't sleep no matter what after she got this dream but today she can. Was it the side effects of this juice?Maybe.She only wished for no more nightmares as she closed her drooping eyelids. In a matter of seconds, she fell asleep.Maximus and Zaros stood rooted in their spots
Ch-29He was thankful for Maximus's presence in her life. A smile formed on his face as he looked at them with contentment.He was at least happy that she got a good spouse.His sister deserved happiness. While he forgot that he was tormenting someone else's sister with grief and pain. He forgot that there was karma that always proves what goes around comes around.Adira, who sat beside him, felt jealous of her sister-in-law.Why Life was so different for each of them?Weren't they married to different races?She is happy… unlike her.Adira doesn't know whether she has to be happy that she got to marry her mate or cry because her mate was nothing but a dick.This little act of Lenora left a bitter feeling in Adira's chest. It doesn't mean she hates her or wants to ruin her sister-in-law's relationship with her brother or ruin her life. Everyone deserves happiness but… she felt like laughing at her own pathetic situation. She couldn't help but compare herself to her. Lenora was happy m
All of the closest people from the werewolves appeared in Adira's wing when they heard she fainted. Even all the Vampire elders along with the main family appeared to visit her.Seeing everyone in the wing, worried about Adira made him feel uncomfortable. Zaros was now in a fix on how to explain things to them about her sickness. Things were getting harder as days passed. And this woman was putting him into more and more trouble wanted! She was so silly and dumb. She can't even understand or do a single thing properly. She does everything like a dumb person.Back in the vampire kingdom, he has a fiancee, she was so thoughtful, elegant, beautiful, and smart, unlike this dumb woman. The more he looked at her the angrier he got. He wished to slap some sense in her. Was she trying to paint him like a monster by fainting?And now… she fainted. Can't she eat properly? If she had her food on time this wouldn't have happened! Now he has to be answerable to everyone.She needs a good lesson af
Ch-118As the battle raged on, Maximus and Zaros fought valiantly against Azazel and Vrykolakas, their movements growing sluggish with exhaustion. Lenora and Adira watched with growing concern, knowing that their companions could not hold out much longer against their formidable foes.Adira, who had been feigning unconsciousness, seized the opportunity to speak with Lenora, her voice urgent with purpose. "I think they need something special to kill them," she whispered, her eyes darting towards the coffin of Lazarus.Lenora nodded, understanding dawning in her eyes. "You're right. Lazarus vowed to kill him. Then it could only mean something related to Lazarus could kill him. If Lazarus could kill Vrykolakas, then there must be something in his coffin that we can use as a weapon.""I'll go get it," Adira volunteered, determination burning in her gaze. As the chaos of battle unfolded around her, Adira's heart clenched with worry for her husband, Zaros, and her brother, Maximus. With eac
Ch-117"Then why have you entertained me till now?" Lenora asked. "Because I wanted to have one last conversation with my granddaughter," he said with a smile. "I regret being his daughter and your granddaughter. How blind was my mother able to be?" Lenora said with hatred in her eyes. "Well, what could I say if your bloodline is obsessed with my sons?" he laughed. Lenora looked at him with hatred. Azazel already started reciting spells. Maximus and Zaros stood outside the hall with anger bubbling in his chest. Even he didn't know why, but when Vrykolakas said that he killed the love of Lazarus, he wanted to rush in and kill him. But Zaros stopped him on time. "Now is not the time. Wait," Zaros said. Inside, Lenora tried to get up, but she was stuck to the ground as if she were under a spell. "Now, your blood and lifeline will make me strong. While your sister-in-law will be my vessel," Vrykolakas said. Lenora could sense her mate mark was gleaming. Which meant her husband was
Ch-116It's the magic globe of Azazel. It fell and broke. Giving a glance, Vrykolakas got back to his story. "Indeed, it is. Women are some mysterious creatures in this world. They knew she wasn't someone who would run away just to escape two men's pursuit. She loved Lazarus. So, both Amdis and Lazarus tried to find the truth about her disappearance. They came to know I locked her in dungeons." he said with a proud smile on his face, which only looked disgusting with his rotten flesh. "The creatures I created turned against me. The eldest was the most rebellious one. But my youngest was angry yet he calmed down. He always acted in the interests of his people rather than his own. He gradually forgot the woman when he found his fated mate. But Amdis rejected his fated mate and brewed a revenge plot. But Lazarus, the calm one, turned out to be the most vicious one." Vrykolakas eyes turned sinister. Among them all, Lenora was scared that his eyeballs would roll out of his body and look
Ch-115Hearing Lenora's words, Azazel felt that it's time to wake up the ancient. He stood up and started chanting spells. A huge array appeared in the air. As Adira grappled with her thoughts, a sudden movement caught her eye. Slowly, almost imperceptibly, the ancient creature in the room began to stir, its grotesque form emerging from the shadows with a sickening slowness.Adira recoiled in horror at the sight before her. The ancient was a ghastly sight to behold, its flesh rotting away to reveal the grisly remnants of its once-human form. Bugs and maggots writhed and squirmed around its decaying body, casting a foul stench that filled the air with the sickly scent of death.Even Lenora, who had maintained a stoic facade in the face of adversity, felt her stomach churn with revulsion at the sight before her. But she forced herself to remain composed, steeling her expression as Azazel rose to his feet and offered his position to the ancient creature.Adira's mind raced as she strugg
Ch-114The room seemed to hold its breath as the energies wrestled for dominance, each seeking to overpower the other in a battle of wills. Sparks flew as the opposing forces collided, casting shadows that danced across the walls like fleeting phantoms.The sound was deafening, a cacophony of crackling energy and echoing reverberations that reverberated through the very foundations of the palace. Every surface trembled in response to the sheer force of their clash, the air thick with the smell of ozone and magic.For a moment, it seemed as though time itself had stopped, the world holding its breath as the two energies locked in a fierce struggle for supremacy. But then, with a sudden burst of light, Lenora's golden energy surged forward, overwhelming Azazel's dark power with its radiant brilliance.The room erupted into chaos as the two energies collided, sending shockwaves rippling through the chamber and shaking the very ground beneath their feet.Adira coughed weakly as the dust e
Ch-113Adira was at her wits end. She can't keep Azazel engaged anymore, given the stunt she pulled earlier. He was wary of her. And not to mention, her energy was depleting like a air leaking out of a balloon. Due to the absence of her wolf, she was very weak. Given with the fact that she fought earlier with Azazel and his lackey, she was weaker than before. She hardly has the energy to move an inch. She slumped on the ground helplessly. "Do you think they can save you? You don't know what was coming before!" Azazel said as he let out a bark of evil laughter. For some reason, his eyes were shining green. "I wonder who your daughter is. I pity her so much," Adira said in her raspy voice. "You will be surprised to know her," Azazel replied mirthfully. Adira felt a foreboding feeling as she looked at him. This man was just as twisted as the dark magic. No wonder he was attracted to the dark magic. Just then... a woman entered the hall. Seeing her, Adira smiled. But soon... it turne
Ch-112Adira's mind raced as she considered her options. She knew she needed to keep Azazel's attention away from the globe, buying time for her family to rescue her. Summoning her courage, she spoke up again. Adira's wolf was in dormant state too. She can't fight him. All she could do was distract him. "You must be quite powerful to have infiltrated my household so easily," she said, her voice steady despite her fear. "But do you really think you can outsmart the King and my family?"Azazel chuckled, a low, chilling sound that echoed through the dimly lit room. "Outsmart them? Oh, my dear, it's not about outsmarting. It's about power and control. And right now, I have both."Adira knew this man had both power and control. The dark magic he practices, his spells, and his position give him everything that can keep everyone in control. Her sister-in-law can kill anyone with a single blow and burn them into ashes. If a vampire can have that much power, this man, who was an undead creatu
Ch-111Adira doesn't know what has happened to her. She was waiting for Lenora to come and have lunch with her. Just then, a maid came to her and informed her, "My Queen, the King, your family, and everyone else are in the study. They are expecting your presence. Would you like to go now and join them or have lunch first?" Adira didn't know that everyone were meeting there. "Alright, I will go over," she replied, standing out. Also, Adira knew there was something happening in both kingdoms. She hated being treated like a kid and didn't know how to handle things. Today, since everyone was there, and she would be crowned queen, she had to let them know she couldn't be treated this way anymore. She actually thought of talking about this after crowning and prove that she was capable too. This was what Lenora said. "You don't have to verbalize everything. But if you did, stand on it whatever it takes. And make sure whatever you do never compromises your self-respect," Her mother, Serene
Ch-110As Zaros, Lenora, and Maximus stepped into the ancient willow tree, they found themselves transported into a realm of forgotten grandeur. Before them stood a vast stone palace, its towering spires reaching towards the heavens like silent sentinels guarding the secrets held within."This seems to be abandoned," Lenora muttered as she drank into the grandeur of the huge abandoned stone palace. There were some scriptures written on the walls of the palace. Just looking at them made her feel scared. She clutched Maximus's hand a bit tightly. Maximus held on to her hand patting her slowly as if saying it's fine he was with her. Despite its apparent abandonment, the palace retained an air of majestic splendor, its walls adorned with intricate carvings depicting scenes of ancient battles and mythical creatures. The air hung heavy with the weight of centuries past, each stone bearing witness to the passage of time."This place is oozing with the evil energy," Zaros said. "Well… it's
