Next Night...After freshening up…Lenora and Maximus went to the dining hall. There was still a little orange hue in the sky, along with the pitch black color. Lenora could say that it would take another half an hour for the sun to set completely. Maximus showed extra care to his wife by serving food on her plate. "With the amount of care you show, I can say that you tired your wife too much last night," Serene said with a raised brow to her son. Lenora coughed violently upon hearing her. Maximus just shrugged his shoulders at her. "I wish to tire my wife too. Too bad, I don't have a chance," Maximus threw a glare at Zaros for uttering those words. Zaros, who was pouting, felt his scalp go numb as he felt his gaze. He shrunk back into his chair, acting timidly.Who would have known that the vampire king would have to be scared of the werewolf king one day?"Come on now! Have i said anything wrong? I as your brother-in-law, have been supportive of you! And you should do the same!
Ch-94Zaros was waiting in Maximus's study impatiently. He was called to the study after his sister's first duty as a queen. He heard the news from his people. A couple has been separated because of third person plots. When her plots were revealed, she tried to kill Lenora for laying them bare, but suddenly she attempted suicide. This thing will not be easy for them now. On the very first duty and the first day, a person was dead. This could bring a bad name to Lenora. He can't let anyone wrong his sister. Soon, Lenora, Maximus, Eudora, and Serene entered the room. "Are you okay?" Zaros asked the moment Lenora stepped in. "I am," Lenora said with a stoic face as she moved away from him. He knew he had been an ass for her. It would take time for her to accept him. Everyone took their seats. "Do you suspect anyone about the court scene today?" Eudora asked, getting straight to the point. "She was killed by one of the ministers," Lenora says. Her words shocked everyone.But there wa
Ch-95"I will kill him!" Zaros roared frightening Adira, who was standing beside him. Adira quickly composed herself and hugged his arms. Feeling the soft touch on him, Zaros looked at the young wife in front of him. Even though she was scared of him, she was trying to be there for him and calm him down. What a thoughtful wife he has! He hugged her tightly, wanting to drown himself in her scent. Zaros knew he was in a rage. If it were his previous self, he would have just gone ahead mindlessly and tried to kill the person who made all the mess. His wife was his stress buster and someone who kept him sane. "The woman whom I dealt with in the courtroom, was one of the vampires. She tried to get onto the bed with the biggest restaurant chain owner in the capital," Lenora said after seeing Zaros hugging Adira as if his life depended on him. "What do you mean?" Eudora asked. "Vampires have been coming here for unknown reasons even before this pact was made. I don't know what they wer
Ch-96On the other side... A woman wearing a black shawl over her head appeared in front of the high priestess tower, holding a cane. The eyes could not see her body of outsiders. Only her pale hands, which had shades of purple and black, were visible. She wore a tattered dress, and her abnormally thin body made her look like a walking corpse. If anybody saw her like this, they would be scared to their deaths. Just then Sansa, in her green emerald dress appeared in front of the gate. "The high priestess invites you in," she said. The woman swaggered inside as she walked but she just gritted her teeth and moved ahead. She wants to live. That's what she chanted. Soon, they entered the third floor, where Elphaba was. There was another woman with her back facing her eyes. "What is it, Ophelia?" Elphaba asked. Ophelia was not surprised that Elphaba recognized her. Her powers have been sucked off, her luck has been sucked off, and she has been raped too many times by that man sent by
Ch-97After fifteen days… The convoy of the vampire race and the werewolf race reached the Vampire Kingdom. The eunuchs announced the presence of Zaros and Adira. Citizens were excited to see the arrival of the new queen. While not all are excited, some hate the werewolf race. Before leaving, Eudora did a great job convincing the citizens about the alliance, but by the time they returned, she could see almost half of the kingdom was against them. Adira gracefully got out of her sedan carriage. She looked meek yet confident. She looked young yet graceful. A smile was plastered on her face as she looked at the gathered crowd, expressing her happiness. Inside, she was dying of nervousness. If not for Zaros's presence she would have died from a heart attack. "Breathe, Dear Wife. No need to be nervous," he said with a smile. She just clasped her hands around him and smiled at him. Her palms turned sweaty due to nervousness. It was Zaros's first time living with a living person. Her e
Ch-98Zaros looked at his wife with a smile. He leaned down and kissed her lips. "Are you hurt?" he asked her. "No," Adira replied. "Let's go ahead. I will take care," he said. She nodded. Adira walked ahead along with her husband. Zaros didn't expect Adira to make this ruthless move. She was vigilant all the while. If she hadn't done this, she would have been mocked by all the Vampire citizens. He was glad she did it. And to begin with, the man seemed to be weird. He didn't like him. Whoever dares to lay a hand on his wife is meant to die. They walked inside. Adira and he went to his chambers while the attendees carried their luggage into his chambers. They freshened up and slept all day, taking a break. Even the food came to their chambers. -----Next Night…Adira woke up, seeing the twilight rays of the setting sun. The moon will come soon. As she woke, she realized her husband was staring at her without blinking. "What?" she asked in her sleepy voice. "Do you know I have b
Ch-99"Wifey, it's not fair. You touched my stomach and chest. I haven't done that for you. Yet you want me to stop," he said. Before she could say something, she tore the cloth that hid her supple breasts. She hurriedly crossed her arms around it. "I have already seen it," he said, removing her hands. "Zaros," she moaned, feeling his palms applying the paste to her breasts. He pinched them slightly, making her inhale a sharp gasp. Zaros was so hard that he felt he would have blue balls right now. The woman in his arms was small, seductive, and enchanting. And not to mention, she was naked in front of him. He was a man, too. Her dazed look made him forget that they were yet to consummate. He bent down and kissed her senselessly until she was out of breath. He pulled her into him more. Their naked chests collided with each other. Adira was not expecting this much closeness from him. She remained in her spot, feeling vulnerable, and needy. She wants him to do the things that were
Ch-100After their bath, Adira gracefully made her way to the royal bedroom, the anticipation of a tranquil evening settling upon her. As she entered, a soothing scent of lavender and sandalwood greeted her, emanating from the carefully arranged potpourri scattered throughout the room. The soft glow of the oil lamps, their flames dancing gracefully, cast a warm ambiance that contrasted with the cool tones of the tapestries adorning the walls.The grandeur of the room was evident in every detail. Muslin curtains adorned the windows, allowing a gentle breeze to dance through the room playfully. The bed, adorned with rich silks and plush pillows, stood as a testament to the luxury of the kingdom. Adira couldn't help but marvel at the intricate carvings on the furniture and the finely woven rugs that covered the marble floor.The walls were adorned with majestic paintings depicting the kingdom's history and the exploits of its rulers. Adira's eyes lingered on a portrait of her husband, th
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
