Crystal had been prepared for her mating cycle, just before she had run away. The hormones rushing around her body were difficult to tame as it was. The person she had given her heart to, embracing her bare chested didn't hell much to control her urges. She forgot time and space. Forgot consequences and the future. All she wanted at that moment was to get lost in the man right infront of her. Crystal, knowing very well that coupling between a wolf and a sea nymph was never heard of, took the initiative to let her senses loose in her man's embrace. The wolf king however was unaware of the circumstances. Though he had tried to maintain his decency and boundary in front of Crystal, it was evident he had a soft spot for her from the moment they had met. When the nearly half naked Crystal threw herself on him, he no longer could hold himself back. The two steamy bodies collided with force as they called each other's name. They cried and mourned as the sky gradually changed colour. The two

Mia, blinked as she finally could open her eyes. The blindfold was gone and so were the cuffs. She felt her way up but the place was too small even to stand up. She lowered her voice and slowly called out, "Lin, are you there? "At first there was no reply. She tried again raising her voice a bit higher, "Lin are you there? ""Mia? Mia. Where are you Mia. " came a distant , hurried reply. " Are you alright. Ahhhh! ""Lin calm down. I'm alright . You will only exhaust yourself. You won't be able to use you powers here. Let's wait till we get out. " Mia whispered, " Where are the others? Where Boshu? ""I'm here" came a groaning sound."What exactly happened back there? " Mia asked."Like I told you, they had a honey trap ready for us. I only had my two men on the lookout. They were no match against their soldiers unfortunately. I should have been more careful. " Lin hit the floor so hard it vibrated all along."Lin, calm down. It's my fault that we are in this mess. I became greedy. I

Mia and Lin, sat in perfect silence. The food was spread on the table infront of them . It was a huge table. The wolf king sat right across it, looking at both simultaneously."So, who is going to do the honours, " The wolf king asked, confusing both Mia and Lin.The two looked at each other, when the wolf king roared again, "Eat up, both of you. What do you think these are for? Just for you to watch and admire. " He smiled with a wink and then continued, " Eat up. We have a lot of talking to do. You need lots of energy to keep going. "Mia and Lin obediently dug in and went on eating without raising their heads. There was a lot going on behind in their minds. Each had their own set of worries. But they were equally starved and the food was too delicious. The wolf king smiled once more, watching the two and then began eating himself.After the awkward silence followed with crunches and munches, the wolf king ushered them inside his private chambers. He made them take a seat beside him

"She was thinking that her father had approved of her choice of a life partner but her father was thinking that he was helping his child get her revenge? In this living world, is that kind of confusion even possible? " Mia was dumbfounded. She looked at Lin and then at her father for some words of reassurance.Her father nodded his head saying, "Miscommunication is the key to all misunderstandings and misfortunes. Having a good talk and clarifying things are as important as strategising a battle plan. Even the slightest carelessness could lead to heavy casualties. " He sighed. "You can take for example the affection between your mother and myself. "Mia looked up at the mention of her mother from her father's mouth for the first time. She was waiting for this her whole life."The thing that we had, your mother and myself is something indescribable. It was like love at first sight. An eternal attachment, an instant connection. The moment I had laid my eyes on Crystal, I knew she ment t

"What happened? What made you scream like that? " Lin finally asked helping her back on her feet.Mia pointed at the butterflies and asked, " These. What are these? "" Oh! Those. Those are one of our spirit protectors. But what was so scary about them? " Xie asked finally speaking and making eye contact with Mia. He had been feeling very guilty even since he had found that Mia was their half sister. He was a very dedicated brother. He loved Roe endlessly. And now that Mia was present as well, he felt very much obliged to shower her with affection as well. Specifically after putting her through so much turmoil. He finally gathered his courage and stood infront of Mia. Before she could answer his questions, he officially wanted to apologize to her, " Mia, I have been meaning to do this. I understand you have all the reasons to not accept it but I wanted to present my sincere apology to you. I ought to have been more vigilant. How could I not recognise our own flesh and blood. I ought t
