After the spell lost its effect, Sebastian was too furious to hold himself back. Claudia received a beating and was almost killed by the vampire lord if not for Rupert who had the final blow for her. The doctor was lucky to survive the fatal attack. Sebastian only went back to his senses when he realized that he was about to kill his friend. With Latina gone and Claudia’s scheme, he had it rough. He locked himself in his chamber, wondering what he should do next. His friend left with his mate and the boy, leaving Sebastian dazed. Ignoring the fact that Rupert, who was interested in Claudia, took the lady with him. He didn't condemn his friend nor wanted to fault him at all, after realizing that he was the one who broke the rules of taking someone else's mate- taboo for vampires and even for other immortal races. Sebastian knew that he needed to be prepared to face the consequences. The damage was done and there’s no way to change everything back to how it was.
Claudia’s pale face turned red and Rupert’s laughter filled the place. He pinched the lady’s cheeks before lifting her. While the latter mumbled incoherent words until they reached the bath. Slowly, Rupert put her in the water and joined her afterward. They both sealed their mouths for a moment until he broke the silence. “How’s the temperature?” he asked when he saw her flinching. Claudia raised her head and answered, “It’s fine, though quite painful for my wounds.” Rupert tilted his skull to the side and pulled the lady closer to him. “I forgot to take off my pants and you still have your robe on. Why don’t we remove them?” He hid his smile when the lady turned her gaze away. “I told you I’ll help you recover, but we require you to have physical contact. Just like taking a bath together,” he said, leaving the other speechless. Of course, he knew what was going on inside Claudia’s head. “Y-y
“Why isn't she waking up?" Latina heard the alpha's voice but kept her eyes shut. She doesn't want to see the guy. "Sire, she's exhausted. She was chained and was forced to watch something she must have not seen before," a girl replied. It was Azrene's voice. "I suggest you stay away from her in the meantime. If you continue being aggressive, your future relationship will end up messy." Latina tried not to flinch when someone held her hand. It was a thick, calloused hand. "She will be mine," the alpha said and kissed the back of her palm. "Monitor her. I must go to the empire. And don't forget to inform her about the wedding ceremony. We must do it sooner than scheduled." "As you wish, Sire. Have a safe trip," Azrene bid her goodbye. The sound of the shutting door made Latina exhale. She opened her eyes and found the girl looking problematic. "You're awake," Azrene muttered while closing the
The round moon quietly shone in the sky, surrounded by the sea of stars. With its humble light reaching the earth, as the lullaby played at midnight, putting everyone to sleep. "Hah!" Latina gasped for air. She sat and looked around the place. It was dark, and she seemed to be alone. "Azrene..." she whispered. The girl promised her to stay in the room and patiently wait but it was getting late. She had already awakened for the second time and yet found no one inside her room other than herself. 'Did something happen to her?' Latina asked herself. She shrugged the thought and tried to be more optimistic about the situation. Latina shivered when she felt the cold breeze coming from outside. "The window’s open," she muttered while hugging herself. "I closed it earlier," she added."Ah!" She screamed when her eyes darted on the silhouette of a man standing in front of the window. Latina couldn't see his face but his fra
In the beast society, it wasn't new for the alpha to have several wives other than their mate. Unlike the blood tribe women who could only bear the child of their mate, the beast clan members can get pregnant after having sexual intercourse with their opposite sex. This became a tradition in the Wyslien Kingdom, thus anyone with a pretty face could either become the alpha's woman or a sheer servant. Mathew Solic cared a lot for his younger sister, Azrene. He would always be willing to give whatever she desired as long as he could make her happy. Azrene's mother was one of his father's lovers who was initially brought as a slave, a mere human with a lovely face whom his father loved the most. When their parents died, he inherited his will and became the alpha among the alphas of the beasts. Other than that, they left him with nothing but his younger sister. The prettiest lady in the entire kingdom, someone that every noble beast meant sought after despite being
The sweet-savory taste of blood in Latina's taste buds made her roll her eyes. She sipped on it with excessive thirst. Her eyes glowed in the dark, cold room as she sank her fangs deeper in her victim's skin, allowing the liquid to flow out and fill her mouth. She felt warm by drinking his blood. It pumped her nerves up. Latina seemed energized. She inhaled the air with the metallic scent of blood to fill her nostrils. It was like having something she never had before and it was giving her exemplary sensation. "Ah!" she exclaimed as she threw her head back, tossing her long black hair. With her burning eyes, she stared at the man in front of her. Licking the edges of her lips, Latina caught the guy's terrified face. "You're a vampire!" Mathew roared, pressing his palm on his neck where Latina dug holes with her fangs. "Damn it!" Latina went back to her senses when she felt a hand covering her mouth. She looked up a
The moon, on its highest peak, shone its mild light. Underneath the thin clouds, a midnight battle took place in the kingdom's heart in the south. Beast soldiers and guards surrounded the intruder, keeping their numbers up as the young knight got them one by one. Wielding his flame sword against anyone who got near him. "How naïve," a redhead alpha said, leaning on the pillar while striking a pose. "A kid like you has no place on the battlefield. Go home while I'm still being nice to you," he suggested. Seth smirked and slit the beast soldier's throat in a second. "Naive you say, why don't you save that for your useless men?" he mumbled, clearing his path towards the alpha by taking down his guards in one blow. "Leo," Mathew called the werelion when he exited the palace. "Be wary of that kid, he's got some skills." Leo curled his brows on the werewolf's reminder. "You're thinking too highly o
In the Eastern region of the empire, rumors have it that a village of witches existed. But without any specific evidence, the said tittle-tattle remained as hearsay. "Ow!" A loud groan echoed in the midst of the night. Even the crickets paused for a bit and peeped when the lady's head came out from the crack on the ground. "Ugh," Latina groaned when her skull hit a hard object. She lifted her head and could barely see the moon in the sky from a small hole up above. Tall trees surrounding the area and the hard thing that hit her was a huge tree root. "Impossible," she muttered. They were going down all the way, yet they emerged from the ground. "Argh," she flinched when Azrene bumped into her. "That was fun," the girl exclaimed. She pushed Latina when she adjusted her position. "It's weird, why did you stop? Is there no exit?" Latina shook he
The forest went foggy as the temperature dropped, slightly frosting the tree leaves and causing unexpected snow in the middle of summer. Latina noticed the sudden changes, cautiously, she put her guard up. Running away came into her mind but considering the fact that she was not familiar with the topography, she hesitated. Besides, she was not alone. If she does something that may place both Azrene and herself into danger, their effort on running away from the kingdom would be wasted. The boys led the way, and they followed while the old woman walked silently behind them. The ladies could feel the intent stare from the back, they knew that they were being watched. "Aren't we supposed to run away?" Azrene whispered, pulling the sleeve of her robe. "The old woman said they're having a feast. Don't you think they will eat us? Even the boys were hunting for meat in the middle of the night," the girl continued. Her voice, after trying so hard
