"You're a witch? Like casting magic with a wand type of stuff?" I asked her with raised eyebrows. Mrs Zulu, or better as Precious, nodded at me. I pursed my lips, wondering how I had missed all these years that a woman serving me food was a witch.

"Sorceress is a better term. I don't use a wand nor do I have a magic broomstick. I'm just a normal elderly lady."

"You live in a pumpkin-shaped house with a fairy, pretending to be a lunch lady at a science lab. There's nothing normal about this." I objected. I had so many questions for her but I needed to let her explain.

"My job isn't pretense. I love it and all of you who worked at the lab. You're the only family I have left." She said sadly, staring at her tea. "I was removed from my homeland when I was just a baby and was forced to grow amongst supernaturals because I was a magic bearer. I was their most prized possession, the one who could heal them and make any sort of potion they desired."

"So why are you here?" I asked her softly.

    "Where are we going, Daffodil?" I asked, jumping over large fallen logs and getting slapped in the face by branches. I brushed my hair back and followed closely, wondering why I was blindly following a stranger into the woods again. This is exactly how I got into this mess in the first place.Some things just never change.Finally, the thick trees and bushes cleared out and we stepped into an open space. I sighed in relief and took a few breaths before opening my eyes to look around. My jaw slightly opened at the sight I saw before me."It's beautiful..." I muttered, staring at just hundreds of purple and pink flowers that were surrounding us. I spun around, taking my time by looking everywhere. It was like a secret garden, a beautiful and peaceful place I never wanted to leave. One thing I didn't fail to notice, was the pure silence. No birds chirping. No crickets. Not even a single bee. It was just isolated. And that was kind of unnatural."This is one of the many hidden incubator

    "Akielia?" Silas called out, "I can smell her around here somewhere." He mumbled to his brothers.Freaking hound.I got up from the floor and ran out of the pumpkin, ducking under a piece of broken wood by the doorframe. I jumped into Silas' arms, not wanting him to suspect me of anything. "Goodness, I'm so glad you guys are okay!" I told them, hugging Sei and Alexander afterward.Silas looked around the area while Alexander prodded my body, checking if I had any sort of injuries. Sei patted my head, softly telling me that he was glad that I was okay."You sure gave us a run-around," Silas said, staring at the pumpkin house with a look that I couldn't read. "Your scent was everywhere. Your workplace, some random man's house, the river just a few minutes from here...""Uh, yeah well I've been in those three areas, kind of," I said hesitantly. Alexander shrugged, "It doesn't matter. You're here now and you're safe. That's all that matters to me.""But how?" Silas asks me with raised eye

    After Sei finally calmed down, which took nearly an hour, he left the house to take a breather. That was a long time ago, half the day probably went by when he stepped into the forest. Alexander and I haven't seen or heard from him at all after that.Why do I feel like this is all my fault?Silas did this to us... He ruined everything.Why did he run? Why couldn't he admit to his own family and the woman he hurt that he was lying this whole entire time? Why would you believe someone you barely know over him?Because the story just made sense. Silas has been acting strange with this whole 'make the world bow before us' stuff. How could that not be suspicious?"Akielia, would you please tell me what is going on. I hate being left in confusion." Alexander said, approaching me. I was seated on the spot Daffodil found me sulking on, staring at the beautiful sunset. I can't believe how a day has almost gone by. Yesterday at this time, I would have never thought that Silas and Sei would fal

    Discomfort.What is discomfort?It's the terrible feeling I had as I sat down in front of a large bonfire while nearly a hundred different creatures stared back at me with unrecognizable expressions. It reminded me of the competition I had witnessed just a few days ago, where I accidentally exposed my identity in the middle of a battle.This time, no one was here to protect me.Sure Valedria instructed them to not lay a single hand or claw on me... But that never did stop the hungry gazes I received from the vampires of the group or the demons that were probably thinking of many ways to torture me and jerk off while they watched.It didn't help that these were the best fighters of the island either. Why else would they be here with the vampire leader himself?"Enough gawking! Get back to securing the area!" The green-skinned woman screamed, making all of the males stop staring and get back to work. I sighed in relief and gave her a look of gratitude. She handed me a tin can that had w

    "Darling? It's time you woke up." A voice whispered in my ear, my body being shook slightly. I groaned lowly as my sleep left me. "No..." I mumbled, rolling over. The hand shaking my shoulder slid down my arm and landed on my waist, gently shaking it. "Baby, we need to depart now. Wake up so you can freshen up.""Depart where?" I asked, still barely awake. I could tell that it was Alexander speaking to me, but I haven't had such good sleep in a while that I didn't want it to ever end."Back to Lunaria. Word has it that the sorceress managed to get through the borders. All of our strongest creatures are here so everyone back home is in danger." My eyes snapped open at that and I quickly sat up, nearly falling over cause I was still really sleepy. Alexander held my shoulder to keep me from humiliating myself. "Is Sei okay?" I only just remembered that we were at Valedria's tent."He's fine, still going on about killing Silas... But he's willing to fight."I sighed softly, "how am I goi

    "Alright, everyone! It's time to head back to Lunaria. Don't forget to split up to minimize human contact." Valedria instructed outside the tent.I gulped down the last bit of water from a tin Alexander had given me. After our first time together, which definitely did not disappoint, he made sure that I was cleaned up and dressed before giving me a moment to catch my breath. I felt a bit weak from the blood loss but I was glad that it didn't hurt nearly as it did the first time.Maybe I even enjoyed it a little bit. I stood up and stepped out of the tent, squinting my eyes at the powerful rays from the sun that hit my face. I held my hand up to shield myself from it and looked around. Some creatures gave me glances as usual but didn't say anything. I know for sure they heard Alexander and I. After all, we only had the thin sheet of a tent separating us from the others. Sex is something done a lot by these creatures. Hearing it must not have meant anything to them. I saw Valedria sp

    "Queen?" Soft murmers of confusion were heard amongst the remaining creatures. Even as they were on their knees, their eyes focused on the moist soil beneath them, I could hear the surprise and doubt laced in their voices as they questioned Valedria's words."As you all know, I have been put in power of all laws and rule making for as long as I remain alive. Alexander, your new Lord, is undoubtedly in love with this human. He has no eyes for any other but her, therefore she will remain as his unless they both decide otherwise."No one even questioned Valedria's words, but I could see some of them shaking their heads in disapproval. It didn't matter who was speaking to them, they still did not think that I was fit to lead them. Everyone in Lunaria was ferocious and really powerful. What good would having a weak queen do? "My decision will not be debated. When the problem with the sorceress ends, I will lift the ban on romantic human relationships. Now let's go to war."Everyone stoo

    I ran to Daffodil, who was hovering over Sharlene and Melissa. If this was not such a serious situation, I would have stopped and laughed at the scene in front of me.Sharlene and Melissa were in matching tight blue dresses that had pink floral designs on them. Sharlene's dress had ridden up her legs and it looked like a shirt, exposing her black underwear for the whole island to see. Melissa's dress was torn around the shoulder area, her high heels had snapped and were laying a few feet away from her. How did they end up like this when Daffodil wasn't even touching them?A roar of thunder made me squeak in surprise, capturing the women's attention. Daffodil looked surprised to see me, but she quickly masked her expression. "Akielia! So glad you joined the party! I was starting to think you were dead." The fairy said, a smile forming on her face."Daffodil, looking as lovely as I last saw you." I wasn't lying. Her blonde hot-crossed bun was still neatly done and her straight yellow

    "What exactly happened that's making you panic so much?" Alexander asked, pulling the door of the carriage open with a small yawn."I think your mother tried to speak to me through mind link. I don't know how but I heard many voices screaming for help. I think something has happened back home." I explained, tying my hair back. I looked into the distance, the pale moon just barely lighting over the land.As soon as Sei had asked me what was wrong, I rushed up and packed everything. Silas woke Alexander up, and he was not pleased to be interupted from whatever he was doing in his room."What if you were dreaming?" Alexander grumbled. I glared at him as I shoved my bag inside. "What's with you? Clearly you don't want to leave."Silas smirked, "He's sad that I walked in on him pounding into his little human."I shuddered when the image formed in my head. I did not need to know that.Alexander frowned but didn't say anything, keeping his eyes on the ground. I pursed my lips and suddenly re

    Sei took a deep breath and held Elder Norabi's hand. I bit my lower lip in anticipation. This would be the moment of truth. Sei was going to walk out of these packlands holding someones hand. Was it mine, or Daffodils?I looked at Daffodil, seeing her as nervous as I was. Her leg bounced up and down continuously. Sei looked at her and she gave him a smile that was meant to be reassuring. It wasn't, she just seemed even more worried.I would also be scared if I were her. Without Sei, she had no reason to live in the palace. She only lived with us because he was her boyfriend. She would have to find her own place to live. She would be by herself."Sei, may I look through your memories."Sei nodded, "Yes."Elder Norabi closed her eyes for a few minutes, humming in understanding. "You've been through a lot with your brother. It is no surprise you're so confused with everything.""It's been a journey." Sei said with a nod. "Even looking back at my own memories, I still can't believe it.""

    It turns out that we did not need to wait long.Alpha Nazari's mother arrived sooner than we expected, way before dinnertime for the rest of the pack. That was great news for me because I didn't want to overstay my welcome."Goodness, I had heard that our queen was beautiful but this is far beyond my expectations." The old lady said, smiling widely. I thanked her for the compliment with a grin, and held her hand in respect. I nearly stumbled back from the amount of power I felt from her. She was very old, even needing a walking stick to help her, but she had the strength of an alpha. "Thank you so much for getting here so soon. I'm sorry if we caused you any inconvenience." I said softly. She waved my words off, "Nonsense! I'm glad that you came by. My name is Norabi, but everyone calls me Elder. I was the packs luna before my son and his wife." "It's lovely to meet you." I said honestly, "I'm sure you already know me and Alexander. This is Sei." I said, turning to show her Sei, wh

    Morning soon arrived, and the strange horses made their way back to us. We got up, ate some sandwiches that had been packed for us and freshened up by a nearby stream. When all was packed and ready, our journey to the packlands continued.Another day later, we finally arrived to the Alphas territory. To say it was beautiful was an understatement. It was nearly as perfect as my very own palace.The land was flat and clear of trees, except for the surrounding packlands. Many cute cabins surrounded the area and in the middle of the massive piece of land, stood a mansion I would have never been able to afford back on earth.Our carriage pulled up in front of this mansion, and a tall man walked out from the long double doors to greet us. He wore a fitted grey suit, and his dark hair was pushed back. I could feel power radiating from him, and by how Sei looked at him with hatred, I knew exactly who this was."Alpha Nazari, it is good to see you." I greeted, shaking his hand. His grip was al

    Silas threw the tent at Sei and turned to dig for another, his eyebrows furrowing after a few seconds. "Huh," he said softly and turned to the rest of us."There's only one tent." He said. Alexander untied the horse-looking creatures and let them go, "Go hunt and rest. Be back here as soon as morning arrives."The creatures huffed and sprinted away. He sure had a lot of trust in those things. What if they decided not to return?Sei looked at Silas as he untied the tent, "Well, we'll have to share this one. The rest can try and fit in the carriage.""It should fit at least five people." Daffodil stated. Sei nodded, "People, not supernaturals. We are much bigger than human men. I think only three of us will fit, that's only because Akielia and Daffodil are already small in size."So, two guys had to sleep in the carriage together."I'll be sleeping with Akielia." Silas said, reaching for the tent. He snatched it from Sei and started setting it up. A flash of thunder caught my attentio

  • Their Human    Chapter eighty three: carriage

    I watched outside my bedroom window as a carriage was loaded up with our belongings, preparing for our departure to the Nazari Packgrounds. My eyes moved back down to the map in front of me. It was a two day trip in a carriage with two horses, and almost a week long trip on foot. Half a day on a car. "I miss my Porsche," I mumbled. There was a number of things I missed about my old life. Such as the delicious food I left behind, and the pretty fashion we were exposed to. I definitely took those for granted. Here, I was expected to dress like a queen in big uncomfortable dresses, tight shoes and perfect hair. Only when I was training, could I wear something more comfortable. Let's not even get started on the food here. The most normal thing they have is blue potatoes. The door opened and Alexander walked in. I hadn't been sleeping in here, and I knew that everyone else had noticed. Surely, everyone was aware about Silas and I, and I had no doubt that the Heads would want to meet u

    "You know, I mean it when I say you didn't cheat. Maybe in human terms you did, but in supernatural laws, you didn't." Silas said to me, peering at me.It was the next morning since Silas and I escaped to go to the lake. I was fully recovered and spending time outside to get some fresh air. Silas was with me as a bodyguard...And my lover."How so?" I asked him."We didn't decide to break up. When two mates verbally agree to become a couple, they kind of seal their bond. A verbal agreement doesn't strengthen or weaken it. It just acts as a seal, the cherry on top. Like when humans get engaged, they seal it with a ring." Silas explained. I nodded in understanding."You and I never broke that seal, meaning that even in my death, you and I were together. Unless we both told each other that we were broken up, we are together." I pursed my lips and wondered why Sei didn't tell me. He never said anything about breaking a supernatural seal. Did that mean he was still my boyfriend, too?"The

    "Where have you been?"I stared at the crackling fire in front of me, my hands held out towards it as I warmed up my body. Alexander crossed his arms at me in expectance, but I didn't look at him. I didn't want him to detect my dishonesty."What do you mean?" I asked him after clearing my throat. "I've been here."He looked around my office before stepping closer to me. He fell on one knee to reach meet my level since I was sitting on the floor, wrapped in a thick blanket. I was finally starting to warm up, and I could feel my powers slowly strengthening.I guess extreme cold is my weakness."I checked this place a million times." Alexander pointed out, his eyes turning black. It usually happened whenever he was hungry, but I knew that he was still full after he had fed from that human he was so obsessed with. I wonder if she's transferred to the wolfpack yet.I wanted to speak to her."Are you deaf? She said she was right here." Silas said from the corner of the room. Alexander and

    "Four, five!""One, two, three, four, five!""One more time.""...two, three, four."I felt a continuous pressure over my chest, my body immediately responding as I felt everything I had consumed leave my mouth. I turned to the side as water ran through my throat, and I threw it all up. I coughed loudly, my senses slowly returning to me. I could feel a warm hand running over my shoulders, attempting to comfort me.I opened my eyes, seeing nothing but darkness. "My rose, are you alright?" I heard Silas ask me quickly. I was lifted up and placed against a solid chest. I had no doubt that it belonged to him.A gust of cold wind stroked my drying skin, making me shiver."Her lips are blue. We need to get her back home immediately." I heard someone else speak. I also recognized the voice, but I was surprised to hear him here."Sei?" I asked weakly. I barely saw him kneel in front of me and he held my hand. "I'm here." He said softly, brushing my wet hair off my face."What happened?" I ask
