Arabella's point of view. My brows furrowed in surprise as we walked the streets of our pack, there aren't any burnt houses or collapsed buildings like I had expected. Every house that was destroyed during the war yesterday has been rebuilt and everyone's smiling as if nothing had happened, they didn't look as if they just survived a war.What on earth is happening? Or was that war a dream? But it felt so real, it can't be a dream, right?"Hey, dolphin" I nudged her gently. "What's going on? Was the war real? Or we both just had the same dream?" Daphne looked as surprised and confused as me, she's even more confused than me."It was real, in fact, everywhere was still ruined this morning before I left for school" she said. "Then why is...." I trailed off.Pups were running around, laughing and playing happily, while the women and men are doing their normal daily jobs.What's going on? Did the moon goddess visit our pack?. We walked past a group of women who seemed to be talking a
Third person's point of view. (In a cave outside evergreen pack)Drake sat on a stool as he impatiently looked at his wrist watch, he pushed his hair back and wiped his face -he narrowed his eyes and glared at the entrance.He sprang up immediately he saw a masked man come in, he rushed towards the masked man and seized him by his collar."Where are bloody you coming from?" He questioned the masked man.The masked man flicked his finger and his collars slipped off Drake's grip."I went to make an alliance" he answered and headed towards a small fridge in a corner -it's a cave but it's strangely as big as a house."Alliance for what? What are planning to do?" Drake asked again."What I'm planning to do has nothing to do with you, just be a good son and follow the plan" he walked back to Drake and tapped his shoulder.Drake shrugged his hand off."It has everything to do with me because I know it involves my Ara....""Your Ara?" he interrupted Drake mockingly."Yes, you promised you wo

(FEW MINUTES LATER)"Now, this was one great meal" Edward said, burping very loud and laughed."Yeah, my brother-in-law is perfect in every aspect" Arthur piped in and winked at me, but I cringed my nose at him in return.Wymond got up to clear up, but I held his hands and shook my head."Leave it to me" "But...""You've cooked for us, I should do the dishes" "Hm, let her do the dishes, I have a lot of catching up to do with you" Arthur said.My heart skipped at those words, I raised my head and glared at him.*What are you tryna do?* I growled at him through our mind-link.He smirked.*Nothing, I just wanna get to know my brother-in-law better* he replied.*I'll kill you with my bare hands if you try anything funny, and don't think I'm bluffing!*He scoffed.*Ooh, I'm so scared* he mocked me.I flinched when mom banged on the table, she furrowed her brows at me seriously."Get your butts in the kitchen right now" Her voice was so firm that it left no roo
Arabella's point of view. A loud bang on my door disturbed my peaceful sleep, I reached for my pillow and covered my ears as I tried to go back to sleep.But unfortunately, someone is against me and doesn't want me to sleep. Another louder bang came and I was forced to open my eyes, I sat up and threw a malicious glare towards the door, wishing my glare would just send whoever is behind that door six feet under.Anger was still boiling in me, until I took a whiff of the scent coming from the door and I realized it's Arthur.I gritted my teeth and balled my fist, of course, it's him because no one would bang on my door like a mad dog -I growled mentally.I was so ready to storm over and beat him black and blue, but then last night's event replayed in my head and my face heated up as embarrassment got the best of me -I mean, I'm never gonna get the end of it from Arthur today."ARABELLA HUMPHREY!" he shouted from outside.Oh, no, what should I do now? I can't let him or mom see me, wh
Arabella's point of view. We (Wymond, mom, Arthur and I) sat in a very awkward silence, we're all staring at our laps or hands as if there's nothing left to say.Meanwhile, my mom wouldn't stop looking between Wymond and I knowingly, which is making me even more embarrassed. We're currently seated around the dinning table, mom cooked and Wymond assisted him -they were rounding up when Arthur dragged me in earlier.Talk about the devil, Arthur cleared his throat dramatically and reached for his fork, then released an extremely loud sigh."Mom" he paused and yawned. "I couldn't sleep last night because I kept hearing some weird noises"My cheeks exploded and I felt myself sinking in my chair, I kept my head down and kicked his leg under the table.*Stop it!* I growled at him through the mind-link, but he ignored me and continued."I kept hearing squeaky sound and I was wondering if someone was moving their bed" he paused, then tapped my hand. "Did you hear any noise last night?"I gla
Third person's point of view. PALACE (the king's region)It's very sunny as birds were flapping their wings happily in the bright blue sky, pups were running about, chasing after each other in excitement and their giggling sounds filled the air.Women were busy with their normal daily chores, the sounds of warriors who were training at the training ground could also be heard, guards were also patrolling the streets and checking on vendors.It's so lively and colorful everywhere.But the colorful atmosphere suddenly vanished, when the bright blue skies unexpectedly turned dark and very dark clouds began moving about furiously in the sky.A very frightening and sharp lightening flashed, accompanied by a deafening loud thunderbolts that hit a few people and killing them on the spot.Wind started blowing which swayed trees in different directions, the wind was so strong that it made people lose their balances and swept them off their feet, especially pups -only a few people could withsta

Wymond sprang up when he saw how fast the rollercoaster was moving, he felt the urge to stop it immediately and get his mate down, but he balled his fists and fought the urge -he knew his mate would get mad at him if he tries such."Your Majesty!" Edward called with urgency in his voice as he approached Wymond.Although, Wymond heard when Edward called him, but he didn't hear the urgency in his voice, because his eyes were fixed on the rollercoaster."Your Majesty, something....""Edward" he cut Edward off, still not taking his eyes off the rollercoaster. "You once brought me a file to sign a very long time ago, that you wanted to build a mall and an amusement park, correct?" "Yes, your Majesty" Edward answered."Is this the park?" he asked again."Yes, Majesty"Wymond took his eyes off the rollercoaster at once, he narrowed his eyes at Edward and pointed at the rollercoaster."You call that amusement?" "Yes, a lot of pups and even adults love it""Lis
Arabella's point of view. The ride back to the palace as being a quiet one, I dared not utter any words because Wymond was fuming beside me, making it quite uncomfortable and hot for me at the backseat.I looked out the window as Edward drove the streets, it seemed as though a very dangerous earthquake had happened in Wymond's region, a lot of buildings were destroyed and even some parts of roads in the street -although, the road we're going by is good.Right now, Wymond's region almost looked like our pack after the war with Black-Knight -right, Wymond's region consist of every supernatural creatures, because he's the King."What the heck happened?" I muttered quietly, but Edward heard me -I know Wymond heard too, he just doesn't wanna reply me."We don't know what happened yet, your highness" was the only response Edward gave me.I leaned back on my seat and didn't bother to ask any further questions, I just stayed silent for the rest of the ride.Edward drove into the garage and p
Arabella's point of view. (EVERGREEN PACK _ BEACH SIDE)"I do" Alpha Jarek said readily, with a fulfilled smile glowing on his face.It's so obvious how much he loves mom, everyone could see how eager he was to have mom as his wife and few people sniffled at his over excitement. "By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife" Old Sebastian said.Oh, yeah, Wymond made him officiate the wedding.He turned to Alpha Jarek and nodded towards mom. "You may kiss your bri..." Alpha Jarek didn't wait for him to complete his words, he hurriedly reached out his hands, held mom's face tenderly and crashed his lips on hers, which caused everyone present to roar in laughter. Arthur gagged beside me and quickly turned his eyes away from them."I can't fuçking watch that old man sucking off mom's face" he said with a disgusted expression.I reached forward and smacked the back of his head, he hissed loudly and threw me a glare, but I care less. "Mind your language, my baby can hear

(FOUR HOURS LATER)It took Renee and Daphne four whole hours to get me ready, they tried different makeups and gowns on me, all in the name of searching for the perfect look for me.And finally they found the perfect look, but that's after four hours and several trials."Now that's perfection!" Daphne clapped her hands.I rolled my eyeballs and sprang up, then checked myself out in the mirror and nodded in approval."Thanks darlings" I thanked them."Now to the ballroom!" Renee said in a funny french accent which made us laugh. ★★★★★The guards standing by the door pushed it open and all heads turned towards me, everyone's smiling happily and clapping their hands. I saw Daphne, Renee and Emily giving me thumbs up from their seats, which helped boosted my confidence and morale.Wymond's standing at the front with old Sebastian holding a knife and a small bowl next to him, if any human was here, they'd think we're having a wedding -the scenery seemed like a w

What niece and godson are they fuçking talking about?"Ladies, ladies, please, it's not a niece, it's my nephew -why are y'all fighting over what's mine?" Arthur? Why is Arthur here? Wait, where am I? My last memory was back in the abandoned warehouse where we ended Oak's life and I passed out, yeah, maybe all these arguments are happening in my dream.I guess I've had enough sleep, it's time I wake up and... eat, I'm starving so bad.A tired yawn left my mouth as I stretched my stiff limps, I'm so tired as if I just had a very long sleep, then I snapped my eyes open, only to come face to face with about five pairs of eyes staring at me. Mom, Arthur, Daphne, Renee and another girl who's almost the same age as me, or maybe she's a little bit older than me but I don't recognize her -they wer
Arabella's point of view. (Flashback)I had just finished telling Wymond about the maid whom I saw earlier, and how I have a feeling that she's Ingrid, I told him about investigating about the maid but he stopped and promised to handle it himself.Then we decided to retire to bed, but we were disturbed by a loud thud and sprang up at once, our heads snapped towards the direction the sound came from -the window.We heard someone whimpering and sniffling, Wymond hopped off the bed and walked towards the person, I followed quietly behind him thinking it's... I didn't even know what I was thinking then, but whatever it was, it was scaring me.But my mouth dropped open when we got close and I saw who it was."Ingrid?" I called.She raised her head, I was taken aback by her appearance. There were long red marks on her left cheek, there were also red marks on her neck as though she tried to commit suicide by hanging herself to death and her whole face was red as tears flooded every part of
Third person's point of view. "That's our head doctor, professor Landon" Jones said, pointing to a man who seemed to be in his forties.King Wymond frowned as he narrowed his eyes and carefully studied the doctor who was injecting an old woman, he felt like something's off with the doctor but wasn't sure what it was.He tried to read the doctor's thoughts but couldn't, which made his frown deepened and he came to a conclusion.He moved his gaze from the doctor and looked around at the vampires who were affected by the plague, some were coughing non-stop, some had dark spots all over their skins and it seemed as if their skins were decaying.King Wymond opened his hand and a syringe needle moved from a tray into his palm, there's a bluish liquid inside the syringe, King Wymond quickly broke it in two parts and sniffed it, then cringed in disgust as he inhaled a very bad smell.He threw a disgusted glare at the doctor."I don't know if that guy looks like your head doctor, Landon, but

" Jone paused, sighed and shook his head in disappointment. ".. but the herbs aren't working anymore, no matter the amount we use, the plague just kept worsening everyday" he said.Wymond picked a herb and sniffed it, a frown appeared on his face at once."Who's the head doctor?" he asked."He's at the health center" Jones replied."Take me there" Wymond commanded and Jones nodded in agreement.He (Wymond) glanced at me and signaled me to follow them, I rolled my eyeballs as I grumbled coherently. I didn't wanna go with them, because I wanted to confirm something. *I don't wanna look behind and realize you're not following me, you wouldn't wanna know what I'm gonna do to you, baby* he warned me through our mind-link.*It's not as if I'm gonna do anything to help there**I just wanna be seeing you* he replied. *But...**No buts, baby!* he
Arabella's point of view. "You weren't yourself at the table, did you find anything fishy?" Wymond asked me, we've retired to our room -the room Jones prepared for us.There was a long pause as I was wearing a beauty facial mask when he asked the question, I quickly climbed onto the bed when I'm done and pulled the blanket up to my chest.Wymond sighed impatiently."Can you answer me now?" he asked."Yeah" I leaned against the headboard. "I thought I saw someone like Ingrid"His eyebrows furrowed in confusion."Ingrid? Who's that?" I gaped at him, don't tell me he forgot her -wasn't he the one who had her locked up for three days?"She's one of my schoolmates, you even had her locked up some weeks ago" He tilted his head slightly, then he curved his mouth in an O shape as realization dawned on him."Yeah" I eyed him. "But I'm not so sure if it's truly her, because I didn't get to see her face.." I pouted shortly. "..but my instincts keep telling me she's Ingrid""Hold on, isn't she
Arabella's point of view. (Vampire King's palace)It was kinda a long walk from the border to the vampire King's palace, maybe it's because we were walking in a very slow pace and they're both (Wymond and the vampire King) we're both discussing about the plague along the way.The palace isn't as big as ours, but it's beautiful and well structured. Maids and guards were lined up at the entrance of the palace, waiting to welcome and serve us.They knelt down and fell on their faces immediately they saw us."Welcome, your Majesty, your highness!" they greeted us.A very beautiful, but heavily pregnant woman approached us as fast as she could, yet a little bit slow. There's a warm and welcoming smile on her face, which makes her even more beautiful."Your Majesty" she bowed respectfully at Wymond since she can't kneel, then turned to face me. "Your highness" she bowed too."Wow, you're so beautiful even though you're pregnant" I complimented her.She blushed very hard."I'm nothing compa

We've been driving for seven hours and we finally drove past a big billboard with an inscription on it...WELCOME TO THE HOME OF VAMPIRES.I never knew the vampire kingdom is very far from the palace, now I perfectly understand why those vampires attending legends creation college always prefer staying in the dorms and only go back home on vacation.Going to and fro everyday won't be convenient for them, they'd surely miss class everyday -after all, sitting in a car for seven hours everyday would drive anyone crazy."The vampires are braver than you, werewolves" Wymond said.I frowned slightly."Why would you say that?" I asked."Look" he nodded behind him at the billboard that's already far behind. "They boldly put up a billboard telling everyone that vampires owns this land, but I don't see the werewolves doing same" I scoffed."We like staying low-key, we're not pompous creatures" I defended my kind.He laughed at my words."But my brother-in-law is pomp
