Ch-10
Adira felt someone touching her kissing and caressing her. Opening her eyes, she only saw fluttering curtains in her room. There was no one in her sight. Was that her imagination? Maybe. Or maybe it’s the effect of her wedding jitters.
She got up and drank some water before going back to her bed.
But sleep was far away from her. All she could think was about her Vampire Husband’s scent and his touches.
He wasn’t pale like others. Even his sister looked like a normal human. She wondered what’s the thing with these both brother and sister. They have something different which made her curious about them.
Also, she
Ch-11Serene brought a midnight blue dress for Adira to wear. It's a long dark midnight blue tulle dress that reached the floor. It’s an A-line silhouette dress with a sweetheart neckline. And her tight corset accentuated her upper body curves showing her well-grown breasts cup size while revealing her slim waist. Even though Adira felt suffocated, she just grits her teeth till she finishes her breakfast. The dress was decorated with pleat slashes and with a small bow belt attached to the waistline with a lace-up hemline.She wore a simple lower bun grazing her hair with beautiful pearls. Applying minimal makeup along with her red lipstick, she gave one last look to herself in the mirror.That’s when her eyes fell on the intricate wooden box on her ta
Ch-12“Uff… Mom! You know what? I am Hungry!” Adira said and turned around only to bump into a wall.Rubbing her forehead, she lifted her head to see the magical wall in front of her.“Ouch,” she said slightly.“My Lady, Would you like to join the table?” Zaros asked with amusement in his voice.Adira cast her eyes downwards biting her lips for the embarrassment she made.“Way to ruin the day again,” she murmured in her low voice.
Ch-13“I will pick my Future mother-in-law,” Adira said.These words stunned Serene by wholesome. She never expected her daughter would want this. She thought she would pick her.But what’s wrong?“Why?” Serene asked.“Simple, I want to know about my future husband. And my mother-in-law would be my partner in crime,” Adira said with a giggle.
Ch-14“Adira, Why are you still in this dress? Didn’t I tell you to get ready before lunchtime? We will have to meet the Great Witch,” Serene said as she walked into her daughter’s chambers.“When did you say?” Adira asked with wide eyes.“I sent a maid,” Serene said.“But no maid came to me,” Adira said.“What’s wrong with these maids? Fine whatever come with me now,” she said as she dragged her with her arm.“Mom, did you inform Dowager, Queen Eudora?” Adira asked all of a sudde
Ch-15Adira didn’t take Zaros’s hand but walked alongside him gracefully as if she didn’t see him offering his hand. She rolled her eyes at him. He was angry with her and almost thought that she would be killed by him at that very second. She will teach him that she was not a doll but a person with feelings and emotions.She won’t let him play with her as he wished. Adira was and is the princess of the Werewolf kingdom. She won’t let him have control over her and make her feel down in her own land. Even if she wasn’t in her land, she will make him respect her if not she will force him to respect her.Zaros had a sour expression on his face as he noticed her actions. He wanted to grab her waist and pin her to the wall befo
Ch-16Adira still feels scared watching this tower. She came here two times and this is the third time. People say the great witch personally delivered her. Even her mother says that. But for some reason, she felt there was something more to it.Witches generally weren’t that helping in nature. And they never help a person with a delivery. If they delivered a child then it means they took a word from the mother of the child in return.Adira was always various of this witch. Both times she met this witch she always felt something was off with her. But she never thought about it further.Adira and everyone stood in front of the witch tower’s gate. Just then a crow flew and landed on
Ch-17Adira stepped back and stood beside her mother."I guess it's time for you to leave," Elphaba said."Lady Elphaba, won't you talk with grooms?" Eudora asked with confusion. If she spoke with brides then she shall talk with men too, right?"Men are stupid people. They are not as smart as women. They won't understand the things I say," Elphaba said."You won't know without telling us," Zaros said suddenly.Maximus also wanted to refute her but he knew he has to shut his mouth in her presence. But she wondered if Zaros and Eudora were fools. Loke, seriously one should know that they should shut their mouth when they are in other people's territory. And especially talking with a witch is the hardest thing. If their words provoked the witch then it would be a bad thing. She may place a curse or let them suffer. This wasn't good.Do they
Ch-18Eudora, Lenora, Adira, Serene, Zaros, and Maximus were in a dilemma as they walked back to the castle.But they knew they have to act normal.“Lady Eudora, I guess we shall discuss things about weddings from now only. We only have a month,” Serene said.“Yes, We shall have a meeting,” Eudora said.Without a break, Adira was mercilessly dragged into the meeting hall along with those elders and her mothers.They talked about dresses, ornaments, decorations, servants, food, drinks, flowers, chairs, tables, glasses, tables!!! Spoons!!! What the hell…. They spoke about every fucking single thing.Adira just wanted to crawl out of the room and rest.She mindlinked to her brother.“Brother….” Adira cried in Maximus's mind space.[What is it?”
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
