Writer's POV Derek beamed with smile as he unsheathed his sword, tossing the empty scabbard aside with a flourish. Rufus, or perhaps Alpha Nikias, mirrored his actions, struggling to maintain his composure."May the best man win," Derek taunted, stepping back to create some distance.The crowd was captivated, their eyes filled with anticipation. Whispers and cheers rippled through the air...In an instant, Derek lunged at Rufus, but Rufus dodged just in time, gaining the upper hand and delivering a swift kick to Derek's ribs.A collective gasp erupted from the audience.Fury surged through Derek as he regained his footing and turned to face Rufus. With a fierce shout, he raised his sword high, but Rufus managed to block it. In that moment, Rufus felt his hands tremble and weaken, forcing him to lower his weapon.What was happening to him?"Are you sure you don't want to submit now, Alpha in the hood?" Derek jeered, landing a kick to Rufus's knee.The blow sent Rufus crashing to the
Writer's POV Mrs. Kate and her husband, Mr. Habsburg, transformed into a big wolves and ran into the woods. They dashed along a swift route that led them closer to their location. Just as they were nearing it, a powerful surge of energy struck them, sending their wolf forms tumbling through the air."Grroooowwwl!" Mrs. Kate's wolf let out a sudden howl.Neither she nor her husband needed to guess who had unleashed such a dark force. Oh moon goddess, please let there be at least one soul left by the time we reach the field, Mrs. Kate thought as her wolf howled once again. Mrs kate doesn't kmow how she was able to channel such immense energy, especially since her powers and witch side were supposedly bound."Husband, are you alright?" Mrs. Kate's wolf turned to check on her husband as she mind link him.Mr. Habsburg's wolf responded with a low growl. Immediately, they continued heading to the location the energy was coming from. From a distance, they could see the silhouette of t
Derek's sword cut into my shoulder, causing me to groan in agony. This gave him the chance to kick my chest, and for the first time ever, I found myself flat on my back in the middle of a battlefield. I squeezed my eyes shut as another wave of dizziness hit me.What was going on?*Eclipse!* I attempted to reach out to my wolf, but he was silent.I could hear the crowd murmuring, but that wasn’t my main focus. I was struggling to keep my eyes open, but my body was giving up on me."I love you, Selena Habsburg!" I had clossed my eyes, waiting for my fate in this fight to death fight when I caught a faint sound of Selena's voice.I couldn’t tell if I was imagining it or if it was real, but suddenly, a massive surge of magical energy slammed into the ground.For a brief moment, it felt like the world around me had come to an end. "Am I dead?"The energy and wind were so powerful that they could bring anyone to their knees.I was still dazed when a sharp pain shot through the back of my n
Writer's POVWarning!!!!Please skip this chapter if you're not okay with the same gender intimacy, or better yet, if you find it irritating. Thanks!!!***** Louisa gazed up at Ava, feeling a bit lost and unsure of why Ava had come.Ava let out a light laugh and asked again, "Can I come in then?""Uh?"Louisa wet her lips, finally snapping back to reality. "Yes... Yes, you can come in."She stepped aside, allowing Ava to enter the room. "Thanks!" Ava said softly, but when she noticed the silence, she turned around to find Louisa staring at her with intense eyes.Ava's heart raced at the sight of Louisa's gaze, and before she knew it, she whispered, "Can I kiss you?"Louisa seemed to come back to herself at the sound of Ava's voice."Ahh! Kiss... me? You don’t even like me, Ava. You always...""Dammit!"Ava strode forward and pressed her lips against Louisa's, kissing her passionately and breathlessly, cutting off her words. Despite her initial urge to pull away, Louisa found herse
Writer's POV Samantha clutched the delicate material of her dress tightly as she made her way back to her room, slamming the door shut behind her."Damn it! She's the white wolf with the blood of a king? How could this be possible?" Samantha seethed with rage as she circled her room.Samantha walked back and forth in her room. "If she's the one, then it's only a matter of time before she takes Rufus from me." This thought alone made Samantha burst into a fit of anger."No way! She can't take Rufus from me..."...Deep in the forest, there stood a massive castle. Inside the King's chamber of the castle, a man in a black and red King's robe lay on a large bed."Hmm," A wicked grin spread across Nireus' face as he settled on the bed.Every corner of the room was adorned with candles.Nireus' eyes narrowed as he watched the beautiful woman dance half-naked, her gaze making him feel a chill down his spine.A low chuckle escaped Nireus' lips as he flicked his fingers, causing the candles t
Rufus's POV "How's she?" I asked Lillian as I noticed the other witches exiting the room. She was moving to the bed. "We managed to calm her down from expending any more energy, but her body is still hot." Mrs. Kate answered me, and I nodded. "Ummm.. I'll leave now." Lillian stated, and she exited my room, leaving me alone with my mate's mother and my mate. Mate? That's sound weird! *Weird? I fu*king love it.* Eclipse voice sounded at the back of my head. "I don't get it. If the marriage was fake, how could my daughter be your mate? I get the part about needing to hide your identity behind the hood, but discovering that my daughter is your mate today?" Mrs. Kate suddenly asked, and my attention, which was on Selena, immediately shifted to her. I paused before I swallowed, "I was cursed by the same witch who killed my parents. I can't sense my mate, but..." "The curse was lifted when my daughter released that energy!" Mrs. Kate finished the sentence, cutting me off, a
Selena's POVAhhhh!!!I let out a deep sigh of agony from within. My body ached everywhere, and there was a relentless, intense pain in my head that pounded in my skull without ceasing.Every part of me felt like it was on fire, and I could sense a massive wave of magic surging through my veins."Selena dear," a voice I didn't recognized or couldn't place called out to me as a gentle hand brushed against me, "It's time to wake up," the voice repeated, sounding more urgent.Hesitating, I attempted to open my eyes, but as soon as another pain struck my skull, it was even more severe. The discomfort was growing, and I felt unsettled."Selena dear, wake up." The voice echoed once more, urging me to stand up.I groaned once more and, with all my might, managed to open my eyes. Everything was bright. So bright that I had to squint, yet I still couldn't see anything clearly. All I could perceive were faint voices, distant echoes, and some familiar whispers.These voices grew louder, making
Writer's POV Selena rested her head on Rufus's shoulder, both of them lost in their own thoughts, perhaps still trying to process everything that had happened. Meanwhile, Selena felt a lingering confusion about who were after her. "Are you awake?" Selena and Rufus turned to see Mrs. Kate standing at the door, a bowl in her hands. "Mother!" Selena called softly. "How are you feeling, dear?" Mrs. Kate asked as she entered the room, holding out the bowl. "This is for you. You have some injuries, especially on your chest. This medicine will help improve your blood circulation and heal you." Selena hesitated, meeting her mother's gentle gaze, which was so soothing that it felt impossible to refuse. "It's just medicine, Selena," she whispered to herself as she sat up to take the bowl. Mrs. Kate smiled warmly. "That's my girl. Just take the medicine, and you'll feel better in no time." The bitter taste of the medicine jolted Selena back to reality. After a couple of coughs, she ask
Epilogue"My baby... Roo!"Selena was crying nonstop, and since this was a first for them, Rufus was at a loss for what to do.Is the baby already coming? Should i take her to the pack clinic by now?Selena stood there, legs apart, as if she was hesitant to let anyone near her."Selly... Come here. Come here," Roo said softly, moving closer and wrapping his arms around her."Rufus...!""Lillian, go get the pack doctor!" Rufus shouted, and Lillian rushed out to find help.Meanwhile, Selena continued to cry, tugging at Rufus's shirt, and suddenly, a sharp pain hit her like menstrual cramps, causing her to scream in agony."Argh!!!!"She clutched Rufus's shirt tightly, her nails digging into his chest."Rufus! It hurts. Moon goddess, please...!"Ignoring the pain she was causing him, Rufus quickly scooped her up, her weight not bothering him as he dashed into the room."This way, doctor."Lillian returned with one of the pack doctors.The doctor rushed in, ready to help."I'm so scared,"
Writer's POVThree Days LaterSelena let out a big yawn as she stretched her tired limbs. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and found Rufus staring right at her."You're awake! How are you feeling? Should I whip up some food for you, or do you want to freshen up first?" Rufus bombarded her with questions, leaving Selena unsure of how to respond.She closed her eyes and rubbed her forehead, feeling overwhelmed by everything he was asking.Selena exhaled deeply. "What actually happened? I can't remember anything..."Rufus settled on the edge of the bed, took her hand, and gently tapped the back of her palm. "Sweetheart, it's been three days since you fainted.""What?" Selena interrupted, her eyes going wide in disbelief."Shh! That’s not all," Rufus continued. "The pack doctor said you fainted because you’re pregnant... Defeating Nireus took a lot out of you."Selena blinked rapidly, as if she had just seen a ghost. "Pregnant? Defeat Nireus?!""Yes! You're pregnant!" Rufus said excitedly
Writer's POV "I get that you have every reason to doubt me, but you really need to believe me. It’s only a matter of hours before Nireus and his men show up here," Issa said, locking eyes with Lillian. Both Lillian and Issa were trying hard to keep their feelings in check, but their eyes revealed a lot. "That’s not going to happen. There’s a barrier that keeps out anyone with bad intentions," Davies said, his teeth clenched. He hesitated for a moment, as if recalling something important. "But how did you…" "It’s because I came here peacefully and mean no harm," Issa interrupted, cutting off Davies. "You have to believe me, Lillian. Nireus has witches who can break that barrier," Issa insisted, her gaze still fixed on Lillian. Lillian took a deep breath and muttered, "Come with me..." "Lillian, I know she’s your aunt, but you don’t have to trust her..." "She’s not my aunt, Davies. Just go back to the border," Lillian replied, her voice tense. "I’m not leaving you with her," D
Issa's POV As soon as I was out of Nireus' sight, I picked up my pace. Once I exited the big hall, I hurried to the horse stable. I glanced back to ensure no one was tailing me before I approached one of the horses and released it from its stall. "Let’s go..." I murmured as I mounted the horse.This was the first time in years that I had stepped outside the Red clan's territory, or maybe even out of Nireus' cage.Luckily, it was slightly bright. Maybe 2Am or 3AM.I had nearly forgotten how stunning it was out here.I gripped the reins tightly, racing past the trees and various clans.Before I left the Red clan, I had cast a spell on every path I took. It would be tough for Nireus to track me down.I looked up at the sky, catching a last glimpse of the stars as it slipped behind the clouds. The day was getting so bright,, and I was running out of time.Only a few hours remained unti the day finally brighten very welll, and I needed to find Lillian or the council of Werewolves to pr
Writer's POVMyrine looked absolutely stunning in her pink and creamy white dress. When she spotted Issa and Lord Nireus approaching, she paused her conversation with the other two and happily walked over to greet them.She wrapped her arms around Issa, exclaiming, "Issa, it’s so wonderful to have you back!"The two people Myrine had been talking to introduced themselves as Dares and his brother Chares. They seemed a bit distant and quickly found an excuse to leave."Greetings to you, my Lord." Myrine said before turning her attention back to Issa. "I noticed you were just chatting with Kleopatra and her husband," she said, fiddling with the beautiful heart-shaped pendant around her neck, "I’m sure you remember who her husband is, right?""Of course I remember Aeson. I was only gone for a few years. My memory is still sharp," Issa replied with a shrug and a smile."I knew you would," Myrine laughed."They're here.""The rogue vampires and werewolves are here!" the crowd suddenly shout
Writer's POV Lord Nireus stood by his window, a glass of wine in hand, staring at the sky before his attention shifted to his wardrobe. "Come on, Issa," he said softly, tapping the wine glass with his finger.As if responding to his call, the wardrobe began to shake violently."Bless Lucifer," he whispered, a grin spreading across his face."Coming!" he nearly shouted, quickly placing the wine glass on the table. With a flick of his fingers, the wardrobe swung to the side.Taking a deep breath, Lord Nireus rubbed his palms together and pressed them against the wall, squeezing his eyes shut.Suddenly, the wall cracked open and swung back, and with a loud thud, a woman in that is naked tumbled out."Oh, my dearest Issa! It’s wonderful to have you back. Together, we shall rule the universe!" Lord Nireus exclaimed, crouching beside her and gently caressing her face.Though Issa looked pale and weak, she managed a faint smile at his words.Seeing him after so many years only made Issa wa
Selena's POV I rested my head on Rufus's chest and asked, "What was the situation at the border?" He sighed, "It's being handled. Apparently, one of the Alphas was behind it.""Oh!" I mumbled, wishing things could just go back to how they used to be. I really didn’t want this power."Williams was here," I swallowed and then added, "And I almost burn him to death," "That mother fu*ker was here?" Rufus growled lowly.I looked up at him shyly, my eyelashes fluttering, and a playful smile crept onto my face, making Rufus let out a low rumble from his chest.I didn’t say anything, but I reached up and slipped my hands under his shirt, gently tracing my fingers over his defined abs. I wrapped my fingers around the back of his neck, pulling his lips closer to mine.Right then, I craved to taste him. I couldn’t understand this intense desire that had taken over me, this urgent need to have him with me all the time.It wasn’t like this when I was with Williams...*Ugh, Selly. Do you really
Writer's POV "What’s happening?" Edward asked when he spotted his cousin Rufus."There was a breach. The guards managed to take down a few of them, but…""But what?" Edward pressed."A few of them found a way to sneak in…" Rufus sighed heavily, rubbing his forehead."They can’t stay here; Lillian will track them down," Davies pointed out."Plus, she’s desperately trying to do just that, but we really need to keep our defenses up," Rufus replied. "I think you and Davies should check the inner area. Look for anything suspicious, search around the houses, and then regroup here later. I’ll go join Lillian and Selena on the border.""Cousin, you’re forgetting something important. You need to be with your mate," Edward argued. "She’s safer with you right now than anyone else, especially until she learns to control her powers.""She’s completely safe," Rufus insisted."You have no idea. She’s a white wolf, Cousin. There are plenty of people out there just waiting for a chance to capture her
Writer's POV Lord Nireus was standing on a high stage surrounded by the clamoring crowd. His remarkable position allowed him to have a clear view on everything on the open arena. The sound of weapons colliding sounded routinely from before him, and the sound of steel tearing steel was definitely more satisfying to Lord Nireus ears than any fine instrument could be. This is the biggest field in Reds tribe. In the field, there are just two men battling each another. One of them is tall, wearing dark covering, and his swordsmanship is exceptionally powerful. The less flashy fighter facing him had no elaborate armor, just a simple layer of rust-resistant fabric that matched the color of the ground. The only decoration was a bright lion's head emblazoned on his chest. His sword skills were also significantly stronger! Surprisingly, he was nearly a head shorter than the man across from him, yet he managed to overpower his opponent with sheer strength! As the duel started
