“A long time ago, all was right with the world. Prosperity and peace filled the days. The four strongest immortal species. “Werewolves, weredragons, witches, and vampires lived amongst each other in peace and harmony. “Great respect was offered to the weredragons and werewolves. Because apart from being able to walk in their human form during the day and night. “They had the power to shapeshift into their counterparts’ wolves and dragons. The weredragons got their power from the sun. “And the werewolves got their power from the moon. The dragons were strongest in daylight. And the wolves got stronger too as the day ended. “Among the four races with predominate power, the witches held a special place. For centuries, the witches were the defenders of humanity. “They kept everyone, including humans, with no superpowers, in check. They uphold ancient vows of non-interference between the two sworn enemies. “The sworn enemies before the beginning of time were and still are were
The tour guide showed Xendy his travel itinerary, which showed the places his agent had suggested visiting. He wanted a forest tour or something like that now. The Zanzibar Land Animal Park (ZALA) was the only thing close to what he wanted. They agreed to start out there. As they got to the main gate, the first scent to hit him was cloves, and he looked for the plant that produced that mouthwatering smell. There was no tree up close and his eyes darted around only to see the caged lizards, snakes, and all other animals on display behind the separation wire. And he let out a frustrated growl which alerted his tour guide. The smell came not from there; what was his wolf thinking? He got out of the taxi and walked in to explore the park and see if he could find a place where he could shift and let his wolf take over. Just when he was ready to cross the ZALA junction and walk into the park, he saw a bird running, trying to flee away. Someone who looked like the leader was commanding
Xendy had searched for his mate all over the world for the last century with no success. On every continent, he paid a visit, and he came out empty. His mate situation had led him to travel to the far end of America. Running away from a tragedy he called life, he did not want to see the look on his pack member's faces when he completely turned human and be stripped of the Alpha title. He failed his pack. And he had come to terms that he would no longer be. He would no longer be there for his pack members to protect them. He failed his people and now Yendy was playing tricks on him. He called a mere bird a peacock, 'Their mate'. Xendy felt sad at the turn of events. How can a bird be his Luna? How could this bird be their partner for life and soulmate? How can this bird that is not human or werewolf or any other supernatural being complete them and make them whole again? Bring their life back from the crutches of death that are now swallowing them bit by bit completely. His endi
After fainting again. Iyya woke up for the second time again. This time she woke up to the sounds of Park Rangers communicating. Not to her expectations and weirdly enough. The animal had not killed her. She was still being held in the same position by the gigantic wolf on its chest. How?! And why?! Animals do not serve their meals. What was the wolf waiting for? Out of instinct, she crouched into a defensive position. Putting up the last fight left in her. Pushing her nails and feathers into the wolf's fur to pinch its skin. She was trying to free herself in the only way she saw how. But it was all useless. The animal didn't budge. It's like it didn't feel pain. She believed her time was up and the wolf would sink its claws and tear her apart any moment now; there was nothing more she could do, so she went limp waiting. But weirdly, the wolf looked at Iyya with a quick eye that warned her of what was happening. Like a human would. She turned her head to scan the area. She wa
At the view of what was happening, Iyya questioned herself about why she was stupid enough to make this choice of siding with a wild animal. Forgetting she was all ready to die a few minutes earlier. Deep in her mind, somewhere and somehow, after she woke up and was still alive, held protectively in the wolf's hands, she had started to trust this wild wolf. Which was weird even for her. She was always scared of wild animals. To be in this scenario made no sense. But nothing made sense in her life, anyway. It was the only rope she could hold on to right now. She still adamantly hesitated in her mind. It was impossible to trust anyone again. She had promised herself not to entertain these kinds of feelings after her stepmom. Being lost in her mind, she almost lost a bit of her balance on the wolf. And reality hit her again. After a bullet almost hit her in the neck. Iyya as usual, involuntarily started to recite her survival words. It was like a ritual to call for help in her head t
The on-repeat dream of the last conversation she had with her late mother made it hard for Iyya to keep asleep. Iyya was up already. And the day had finally ended, and it was now nighttime, and she did not want to close her eyes anymore. The last conversation she had with her late mother was going to come back again in her sleep. It scared her so much. She thought it was way better to stay awake than to sleep again. She was up looking at the sky. Mesmerized by the midnight sky, with the wolf sound asleep beside her. Suddenly, she heard movements. Looking to the side. She then saw torch lights moving closer and coming in their way. The Park Rangers had found them. With fear clouding her, she pinched the wolf through its fur using her claws. To wake the wolf up. Just what she expected from this wolf. That she now knew to be as much a human as she was. When the wolf shot, its eyes opened. Looking straight at the torchlight, moving closer. The wolf hurriedly picked her up. Put her b
Iyya pushed away the memory of the last conversation she had with her mother. It was not doing her any good at the moment. And she put all her concentration on a one-in-a-million opportunity that had presented itself to her. On second thought, maybe she shouldn't have done that. The human in front of Iyya was fully naked and blessed. When Iyya realized she was checking him out, she shifted her eyes away as quickly as possible. Embarrassed that she was brushing inside, his body looked so perfect, like he worked out every day, with ripped muscles, and a bit of hair all over his body. His face was covered with a good-looking beard around his pointed jawline. Then there were those red-ripped lips that hunted Iyya's mind. Even after Iyya had shifted her gaze away. If she wasn't Iyya, a woman in peacock form, she would be on the run for her life because this wasn't normal. Iyya raised her eyes again to meet his eyes. She needed to know if he still wanted to save her as he had done or i
Three days after..... Iyya sat on the beautiful, well-furnished table, with a clear view of the cabin beach and the beautiful garden in front, with her beautiful man sitting beside her. She had dissolved all her worries about this man. He had no superpowers. She had slept awake the first and second nights to see if there was anything different about him. Or if he had any plans of harming her, like her overthinking mind kept pumping her to believe, but he was just another human privileged to be born rich. A few minutes after his transformation into a human in the Serengeti, the sirens and convoys of cars and private jets that came to his rescue were beyond any less fortunate man's doing. He had access to so much money. This was not hassle money. This was old money. A lot of money. Iyya had been in constant private jets and presidential-like convoys since they left Serengeti with her human, who she now knows is addressed as ‘ Xendy.' This human was a billionaire, and he held too m
***Two days ago, In America“I can’t kill her. Please, Trajan, you need to stop this.” Grace held on tight to Trajan.And he pushed her off his body, shouting. “GET OUT!”Grace studied her fated mate, Trajan, and wondered why he was too consumed with being Alpha King. It was as if he lived to be just that. He breathed, slept, and walked, only to find a way to be Alpha King and nothing else mattered. This was so unlike any werewolf that ever existed. He is the first person in Grace’s whole life who has met his fated mate, and his fated mate wasn't a priority.Grace worried something was wrong with him because no werewolves could control themselves with a mate attraction, but he did so well even without trying hard.Everything Trajan did to her made her want to die. It was so painful, and she wanted it all to stop. Her wolf always encouraged her to forgive him.Her wolf believed he would come around sometime. “My love…I don’t know yet how to do spells. I love being a werewolf and alt
“Have you forgotten what Alpha Billnas said? This man tried to rape your mate today. If Alpha Billnas was late for a second, he would have raped her. Do we have to bring him along?”Joshua spoke, looking at the watchman who sat in the lower front of Xendy’s fast jet. Xendy sitting beside Joshua, was lost in thought.He was worried sick about Iyya. Iyya had not stopped crying, nor had she not stopped trying to flee. However, comfortingly, he spoke to her. She was not listening to him or anyone.Joshua’s concern made Xendy turn his mind back to the current situation. He did not like it either that he was bringing the watchman along to America, but he needed the watchman.“Josh…. Without that man’s help, we would not have found Iyya in Zanzibar as we found her that easily. Until now, we would still have been searching all over that island for her with no success.“He was able to relocate her for us in her hiding within a few minutes. Letting his human mind take over helped us a lot in fi
The busy tourists moving along the roads, and the smell of small ball-shaped rice pancakes. Commonly known as Vitumbua, the smell wanted to break Iyya’s heart, which was already broken.Iyya remembered the last time she had passed through these streets five years ago. When she was smiling the best smile. She wondered if she would ever get close to that smiley face and free spirit again.She knew her way through these streets. Whoever was after her would not have it easy finding her. Because Iyya started to know her way along these roads way too early in her life.She had started to sell rice pancakes Vitumbua to make money at five years old. And with all the life she had lived with her parents, selling Vitumbua made her an expert in all corners of these streets.That’s why the smell of Vitumbua hit her differently. Because it was one of the few memories of her life attached to her mind.Iyya sold Vitumbua, the Swahili name for unique ball-shaped rice pancakes, to make money to help he
Iyya found herself in a heart-pounding chase for her life. She turned around, spotting the thick forest up ahead that she had just run through earlier with Xendy.And made a desperate dash towards the thick forest.And after just a second, she ran desperately to the forest. A huge wolf was coming out of the thick forest she was heading into, and it was running up to her.Out of instinct, Iyya hurriedly put her wings up to fly. But before she could fly high, the wolf also jumped up high, aiming to catch her midair, causing Iyya to stumble, losing balance in the air.And she ended up falling back to the beach sands.Fuck!! What was with the wolves? They were after me in Serengeti and now in Zanzibar! Was it written that she would die at the hands of wolves? Iyya questioned herself.The wolf in front of her stood ready to attack her again. Later, again, it jumped after her and missed. The scenario she had just gone through told her the danger she was in.She had thought that running away
Iyya had been lost in the memories of the first time she met her stepmother. She remembered that time many years ago when she met Heina for the first time. That unfortunate day Iyya was coming out of school. And found a very nice car parked and waiting for her at the school gate, and at first instinct she wanted to run away. ‘No kid should get into unknown cars on their way home.’ She took those security lessons she had learned from her teachers at heart, but to her surprise, she heard her father’s voice from the parked car calling her. And turned back, walked to the car and, after assuring herself it was truly her father in the car. She entered the car that day and it was the beginning of a newly transformed life for her and her father. Mr. Khamsini had found an American woman, ‘Heina’- who he claimed he was in love with. She had been so nice to him and Iyya, too. In the six months of their relationship with Heina. Iyya, Mr. Khamsini, and Heina were living together as a love-fill
Graced walked into Trajan's room without a knock on the door. She looked at the trashed room with broken glass of flowerpots and the flowers scattered all over the floor.Which told her how angry he was. Trajan sat on his bed, his back on the bed frame, wearing black sweatpants with an open chest as he drank from the bottle of wine.In her eyes, he was the most handsome man to walk the earth.Alcohol already wasted him, with red eyes radiating anger. He didn't spare her a glance as she walked in. She was used to that. It had been a month since she found out he was her mate.But the look in his eyes said it all. She was disappointed, and she felt sad.“Why did you come here? I told you not to follow me. Your fuck buddy is back. You should warm his bed now.” He shouted at her.She dropped her gaze, hiding the tears threatening her eyes as she murmured. “Why did the moon goddess choose for me a fated mate that didn't value me or love me as all other mates do?”Grace rubbed off her tears
“You killed your mother, Xendy. You know it. The pack knows it. Everyone in here knows it.” The human Counsellor Alex, interrupted and Xendy ignored him.Trajan’s first attempt to take over the crown was when he framed Xendy for killing his own mother. The previous Luna and his stepmother he failed tremendously.It did not go as he had planned it.Because of the death of Alpha Allen's mate, Trajan's stepmother, the death took a toll on their father, and he committed suicide one year later.Trajan thought it was a well-planned situation. All King Allen needed was a reason, a push to hate Xendy. Renounce him and make Trajan the new heir to the crown.But the old man disappointed Trajan again. He lost his mind. And committed suicide. Leaving behind the Pack that hated their new Alpha for killing their previous Luna.“Do you think that conversation matters now, Xendy? That is not the reason we are all here. But if you need a reminder. I will remind you. You are the Alpha King that killed
“And why is that?” Trajan spoke as he walked into the council meeting hall, with Grace following right behind him. “So, are you going to marry my daughter?!” Aunt Naina’s eyes traveled from her daughter standing behind Trajan to Xendy as she spoke. “Mother, stop…” Grace shouted. And Trajan turned to her with a warning look. Which made her drop her gaze. “I am so sorry, aunt Naina…I can’t stretch enough on how sorry I am. You took me under your wing after my parents died and to repay your kindness. “I humiliated you in front of the whole pack like that during the last haze. It was an accident. It happens to all the unmated werewolves. “And we all understand that. With Alpha powers, I think you all thought I could control it. But Aunt Naina, you of all people know I survived all the haze seasons before on wolfbane. “I am not trying to put you on a spot, and this might sound like an excuse, but I truly never meant to hurt either of you. “I already ask for your forgiveness, and I am
With disbelief all over all the council members’ faces. Xendy studied each of their minds, one after the other.And before he could get to the third member's mind, the voice he hated cut his thought's thought-reading process short. “Woah... where have you been hiding? We thought you were dead.”The first member of the council spoke with a voice of disgust and a fake smile plastered on his face. He was Counsellor Alex, a human with a werewolf's mate.He was the most corrupt council member that Xendy knew.His biggest power then was being able to withstand the Alpha's power because he was human, and the Alpha's power never affected humans.Xendy's power back then, before the upgrade, never affected him. But now Xendy could read through everything in his corrupt mind.Xendy felt disgusted by Counsellor Alex’s thoughts.“Is it because we want to swear in your stepbrother on the crown that you have found the audacity to show up? Don’t you have any shame left in you after what you did to th
