"I've decided to wake Silas up." At least fifteen pairs of multicolored eyes looked back at me, all emotions swirling through them different. Some held some sort of shock, a tinge of worry. Some were pleased to hear this but also very curious. I leaned back on my chair and placed the cup of steaming hot tea I was drinking on the long table. I was currently seated with the rest of the house heads. All types of creatures were here. I didn't want Silas' revival to be a surprise to anyone. I was trying hard to establish equality here. Valedria looked over to his son, trying to read his expression. I did the same at the corner of my eye. I haven't said anything to him after last night when he decided to push me away. He had no idea I would actually go through with this. Sei was also amongst the group, standing behind Alexander as his guard. He looked shocked, which was better than the fury I could sense from his king. I kept my head high, feeling Kaiser's hand landing on my shoul
"Look at you doing the walk of shame." Kaiser snickered. I stopped walking and glared at him, making him only laugh loudly. "I see you and Alexander have made up, very nicely by the looks of it.""Can you shut up," I grumbled. "He's my husband, there's nothing wrong with copulating with him." "Not if it's going to smell throughout the hallways. We're creatures with strong senses." He said with a shrug. I looked at him, suddenly remembering something. "When are you getting a girlfriend?"Kaiser coughed loudly at my question and I looked at with wide eyes. "That's none of your business.""Oh but my sex life is totally your business.""It is if I'll be walking into a conference room smelling like your arousal." "Ew," I slapped his arm. "Don't ever say that again."Kaiser grinned and we walked outside. It was time for training. I wanted to be the strongest to ever walk on this land. That way I could protect my kingdom and my people."Today I'll be fighting you." I said to Kaiser, pointi
"Come on, just work!""Freaking work!" I screamed in frustration. I slumped down on the floor, feeling exhausting wash over me. I stared at Silas' body, still cold and lifeless on the hospital bed. I had tried all types of spells I had learned, nothing seemed to be working for him.I even tried to remove the energy of the vortex that had consumed him. To my dismay, it didn't even seem to exist anymore. It's like it had faded on its own. Otherwise, his body was completely untouched. No single organ damaged. There was nothing to reassemble, it was all intact.I placed my hand in my forehead, feeling my head throbbing. I was just two hours after midnight and me overusing my powers was weakening me, making me want to close my eyes and sleep. I shook my head and attempted to stand up, falling back down when even my legs gave in on me.Taking a deep breath, I got on my knees, trying my ease my way up. It was difficult, but if I did it slowly I would get up successfully. I heard the door op
"She's been glued to him since she heard his heart beating." "Is he fine, though? Did he wake up at all in the middle of the night?""He hasn't woken up yet, but he's doing really well. I believe that he will have a speedy recovery."I slowly opened my eyes, feeling my body shiver from coldness. I let out a silent yawn as I stared at the ceiling, remembering that I had fallen asleep in my training room. My arms were tightly locked around Silas, and they were refusing to let him go.My hand made its way to his heart, a smile forming on my face when I felt it beating with a strong force. It was as if he had been alive this whole time. His skin was warmer, and he looked less pale. I was so relieved that he was okay.I kissed his chest lightly and snuggled deeper into his body. I never wanted to let him go ever again.I won't let him go."Akielia, you need to move." Kaiser said to me. I ignored him and shut my eyes, refusing to do what he had just said. "He needs to heal properly. How wi
Over the next few days, news spread like wildfire throughout the island. The strongest of the all-mighty demon hybrids was alive, and about ninety percent of the population was ecstatic about it. The creatures that weren't pleased consisted of Alexander, males that felt threatened by Silas and enemies that knew of his nearly perfect strength. He was quite far from perfect at the moment. If anything, he was a big baby. "Open your mouth, please." A fairy asked for the fourth time. Silas kept his head turned away from her, his lips tightly pressed together in a firm line. The green fairy had gotten him the healthiest food she could make, but he was refusing to eat and acting like my little sister whenever she had veggies on her plate. "Please, the queen said you need this to regain your strength." She begged him. "I'm fine. I don't need to eat." He huffed out. She dropped the spoon of soup and put it on the table next to him. He was nothing like the pixie I had healed. He wanted to j
Silas looked back at the door in confusion. "What do you think that?" He only asked, looking at me once again. I shrugged, feeling slightly disappointed that I was even thinking about this. "I don't know, but that human seems to know him, and she's pretty sure that Alexander will choose her over me.""Human?" Silas asked."She's there only for his feeding, but I think she has a crush on him."Silas leaned down my height, making my breath hitch. I backed away to the wall, and he followed me, his hands landing next to my head on either side of me. "Now, who would be stupid enough to choose some human bloodbag over you? Such perfection." He asked lowly. I closed my eyes, thinking of random and weird things to stop the heat that was burning my body from his closeness.I wonder if flies have personalities. "Remember that I once was a human bloodbag... and I promised that nothing romantic would happen between us." I told him softly. Chills ran down my body when I felt his cold lips grazing
"Knock knock!" A voice squeaked out.I sighed deeply, already feeling a migraine forming the moment I recognized the voice. It was none other than Daffodil. "Come in." I said softly, keeping my eyes on the documents in front of me. It was something about fixing a sacred mermaid pond and I had to allow construction over the land. I heard the door to my office open and listened as Daffodil stepped in. Since I had developed my powers, I've been able to clearly read the energy a person walks into the room with. I could tell what their intentions are with just a small whiff of the air surrounding them.I smell a lot of annoyance approaching me."Hey," she said softly, sitting down on the couch opposite my desk. I finally looked up at her, seeing her wings pointed to the ground. That usually happened whenever a fairy was wet or if they were feeling sad. She was clearly dry as she entered, meaning it was the latter. "I hope you aren't busy." She said after I greeted her back. I was busy, a
I rushed out of my office and charged for the stairs, my heart beating rapidly the closer I got to the blood source. Bile rose up my throat when I shoved the double doors open, nearly ripping them from their hinges. I came to a standstill, looking around the living room. I circled around the black leather sofas and there it was. A creature, laying on the floor, clearly dead. I clenched my jaw and looked around the room, finding no signs of anyone having been there. I walked towards the dead body. It was a werewolf this time. She had been one of the few creatures that helped with medical related situations. She was the one that made sure to update me on how the pixie I woke up had been. I fell on my knees and observed her carefully. My hand landed on her forehead, feeling that it was still warm. This was a recent murder. I had known for a while that this was a serious situation, but I never imagined that it was this dire. The killer was now in my own home, and they had manag
"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
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
