Chapter 43"What do you mean you can't find a trace?" Zaccheus growled, his eyes shining golden iris as his voice was deep. His beasts were awakened.With every passing minute, he could notice himself getting crazier, and he ran his fingers through his tangled hair as he tugged the edge, getting frustrated.Three days.Three days. Seventy-two hours. Four thousand, three hundred and twenty minutes. Two hundred and fifty-nine thousand, two hundred seconds since his mate had disappeared in thin air.The weather had been changing from rainy to thunderstorm, and he was feeling immense sadness and anger. He didn't even have the time to worry about the people.When they arrived at the cottage, everything had been burnt down, and nothing could be found at the scene except the faint smell of teleport magic in the air. His heart thumped in its ribcage as the blood left his legs, making them tremble tremendously and fall to his knees. His eyes were vacant as he stared at the burnt cottage in den
Chapter 44The horses galloped through the forest as the rustling and whooshing of leaves were left behind. The braying sound and the strength of agility following their riders' command.Upon reaching their location, Zaccheus jumped down off the horses and whipped his head to see Alec standing in position. He strongly ordered Alec to go with some mages and warriors to scout the area while—Zaccheus would come behind.He looked at the beautiful castle and huffed; with a wave of his hand, the castle revealed its real crumbling self. It was an abandoned castle.The castle where he was born, where he was bullied, where he was blessed or cursed with power, where his mother died and where he painted his father's blood with. Before he ordered to build another castle."Come out, whoever you are?" he said as the sky became cloudy, the thunder rumbling quietly.A crackling noise came out of the door as it was bang opened by a dark energy force. "You've come," a snake-like hissed followed, "I've
Epilogue2400 Kaobu realm"Mom, I'm out," she hollered, slinging her school bag as she waved at her mother at the entrance."Awwwww, my baby," her mother wiped the tears on her face dramatically with a kerchief."Hng!" she groaned, "mom, I'm not going to war," she stated, "I'm going to school, S C H O O L," she spelt out as her mum nodded in understanding."This is the first time you are leaving to stay alone.""I know," her shoulders slumped, "You'll make me emotional now," her voice already trembling as tears found their way to her eyes.This was another stage in her life; without her overprotective and caring mother, she would be alone on the big campus by herself. She hoped to explore and have more experience, which was why she decided to study history."Nada!" her mother called as she whipped her head to the back before entering the school gate, "Fighting!" She grinned back, lifting her elbow to return the morale.Her mother watched her entering the dormitory block before turning

OneOne thousand years ago (Azubu realm)The King was pacing around the door, waiting to receive news about his mate in another room —laboring.The midwives were going and coming out of the room. He stopped the midwife, " please, what's happening in there?" he asked in a worried voice."She is doing good," she answered professionally and returned to the room.Half an hour had passed before the eldest among the midwives came out with a radiant smile, smiling to her fullest at the King.She bowed her head in respect. "your highness, the Moon Goddess has blessed us with a bouncing baby boy." she relayed excitedly.The King beamed with happiness and went in to meet his weak mate, lying on the bed; he pecked her on her forehead and turned to the baby.The King looked up confusedly and worried. "I can't smell his wolf or demon. He has a scent of a human," he stated the last word with hatred, disgust, and venom."I don't care whether he is a human or not; he is my son," the woman said, yanki
TwoKaobu realm.Nadazhda POV"Nadazhda!" I heard my father's angry voice from downstairs as I dropped the mop immediately and rushed to him. As I was running down, my throbbing ribs were protesting, but there was nothing I could do."Sir," I called nervously. He marched and slapped me while I bit my lips hard to muffle my cries.He hated my tears!"You whore!" he seethed. His eyes were red and bloodshot. He reeked of alcohol, and his hair was disheveled.He had gone to gamble again!"You know your work. Go get ready, and my friends are coming tonight." he sneered, walking to his room wobbling.I stared at my once lovely father, retracting figure, until he entered his room.I was once my dad's princess, but I've been blamed since my mother's death.How I wished I was the one, not her.He had started gambling, whoring, and drinking after her death. Whenever he needed money, he used me as his source of funds. He gave me out to his friends to have their way with. I never resisted because
Azubu realmThreeZaccheus POVThe King cradled his unconscious mate in his arms, shouting orders to his startled subjects, "get Avivit."The subjects were cowering away, afraid of the King's temper.The King carried his mate to his room with lightning speed. "Where is she?" He growled, tucking her under the duvet.His patience was running thin.Where is the god-damned beta-female? He thought angrily.The King noticed her body was freezing up and rubbed his hands with hers to warm it up."Yes, my king." the healer bowed meekly."Stand." he grunted, "make sure you heal her, and nothing must happen to her," he said gruffly as he kissed his mate's forehead and stood up.The healer walked to the unconscious girl and touched her forehead. Upon touching it, she detached her hand quickly while a gasp escaped her lips. She panicked and knelt on the floor, "forgive me, my King." her voice wavered lightly, then she continued, "I don't feel any energy from her or feel her soul. It is like her so
Ishbu realmFourNadazhda POVThe breeze was whooshing lightly; the cloud was bright with the sun in the middle. The birds were chirping, flying from one tree to another. I laid on the floor with my head on someone's thighs who happened to be helping to braid my hair. I dipped my hand into the moving lake and felt a sense of serenity.I sighed in contentment, am I in heaven? I thought, smiling at the coolness of the water."No, Bareea," I gasped; I was shocked to hear her voice in my head. The same voice. "You are at the border to either heaven or hell." the spokesperson said softly. I looked around for the source of the voice, only to face the woman braiding my hair."You are the one?" I asked in astonishment."Yes I'm the one, Bareea." she nodded and smiled at me."Who are you, and why did you help me?" I asked her, raising my head."I've been your guardian since birth, and my purpose is to help and guide you." she giggled softly; her giggle was like a piece of music."Then why did
