[Third POV] Arnoux was very anxious about the ball mostly because Carrie was beginning to suspect something wrong with their bond, and his wolf was beginning to reject her. “You haven’t explained to me why you are so protective of green hair,” Carrie asked again. “Dean’s mate is very protective of her, if you start a fight, she will start a fight and that will strain my friendship with Dean,” Arnoux lies so easily. “Can you stop talking about that, we have a ball to host, let us get ready,” he says before leaving the room. Carrie knows he is lying, but she doesn’t care, even if her plan to isolate green hair from her support system for the ball failed, she knows the vampire queen is already planning something. It will all be over tonight, and she will get the affectionate Arnoux back. The ball was prepared in the fanciest ways, Carrie had hired the best shapeshifter to prepare for it. The half-moon was just a nice icing on the cake as it illuminated werewolves’ power, not as muc
[Third POV]Kyrtos Photim felt uneasy, the Crescent annual ball, where everything went wrong, if it weren’t for the ball his soul would still be intact and he would have still been the strongest of all seas.He still is the strongest, after his daughter, well soon, he knows she is going to be the strongest siren in the world, he just hopes her attitude dies down before she is to ascend the throne.“Your Majesty, should I send a letter to let know the Crescent alpha that we will not be attending?” Naiad chimes, “or should I send the duke’s family instead, it would be nice for Aran to know his fellow heirs.”“Naiad it has already been established that Avisa is my only heir,” Kyrtos firmly says, “and no, I will be attending this year, hopefully I will be able to go meet Avisa’s new friends after the ball.”“Hmph,” Naiad hated it, she hated how the king was so unaware of his daughter’s lack of leadership skills.“Of course, your majesty, I will get the vessel ready, and we will travel to
[Dean’s POV] Fate sure was funny, the way her voiced cracked as she asks me, the way her prideful face falls in sadness when I confirm I had indeed killed her mother. I now understand why she hated it when I spoke of the queen, I didn’t even protect myself when she attacked me. “Fight back!” she screams, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, her whole body had adorned in beautiful blues scales, scales I used to hate when they were attached to me. Her sharp fingernails cutting into my flesh effortlessly, but it didn’t hurt, it didn’t hurt because I had already experienced the most hurtful thing when I found out my soulmate was deprived of a wonderful mother because of me. “Fight back! You are the all-powerful vampire prince, fight back,” she screams, everyone had stopped to look, no one wanted to intervene, rightfully so this is between me and my mate. “I don’t have the right to,” I calmly say making her angrier, releasing and even a greater wrath unto my skin, she had continued
[Third person POV]A mate is one of the most important things in the shapeshifter world, those who never met their mates go on to wander the world with lost souls as their mates are supposed to complete them.Those who meet their mates are lucky, especially if they are of a different race, because after the blood war, many shapeshifters went into hiding refusing to meet their mates and wandering lost in the world.When two mates meet, and agree on mating, the two would mark each other before being intimate.“Avisa!” Dean moaned, trying his best to restrain himself.This is not what she wants, he knows very well this isn’t what she wants, he cannot bond with her, it would be unfair to do so.But Avisa’s manner of testing his self-control and patience seemed to be working overtime this instant.The way she moaned his name like it was the only thing she knew, “you don’t want this,” he whispers to
[Third person POV] Dylan rushes to the king’s office, today seems to be gearing up to be a bit more chaotic than usual. “Your Majesty, a word,” Dylan says. “We are busy here mage, you will have a word with him later,” Kyrtos interjected. “But your majesties, this concerns both of your kingdoms,” Dylan says. “What is it, Dylan?” “Well, the prince and princess have mated,” the sudden silence that hits, it is clearly the calm before a storm. Kyrtos could feel his blood boil, this is not how he thought this would go. He knew his daughter was one to hold grudges, she would have killed Dean the moment he gotten close to her. “How?” he asks in disbelief, “how is that possible, they were busy fighting just now.” “I am not sure how myself because they had told me they would reject each other during the blood moon,” Dylan says, he is trying to act shocked. But if he is being honest, he is not surprised they bonded, he is just surprised they took that long to do so. When the Goddess pa
[Third person POV]Metropolis, a city with dreams and secrets, a city burying a lot of history, history that has suddenly started glowing as a new historical event is about to happen.“Princess Adelina, the roots of the dead tree are glowing,” a distraught cry enlightens the enchanted forest.For the first time in a thousand years, the tree that was deemed dead after the blood war has awakened.“What? Why? What is the Goddess thinking?” all the elderly mythical shapeshifters of the enchanted forest grumble.“What is going on? Why did the dead tree glow?” the fairy princess asks.“It is to prepare for blood shed,” one of the elders said, “it also prepares for the death of a kingdom.”The princess is both bewildered and terrified, though shapeshifters in the enchanted forest are more mythical creatures than they are shapeshifters, and they rarely go to wars and their kingdom is never challenged.It was worrisome, because though it was brief, she befriended Avisa, who went on to rescue h
Shapeshifters, humans had written tales and myths about shapeshifters. Most tales are complete fibers like the sexual depicting of sirens, many had written them sexual beings, others even portray them as similar to mermaid, they could not be more wrong. Well, the are other truths about shapeshifters I have read in books, the most common one is how a shapeshifter’s life partner is decided for them by destiny, otherwise named mates. Annoying system I know, but it is more annoying when your mate is a different spice from you, I know of a story of a werewolf mated to a mermaid, or that one witches mating with vampires. Mating in between races goes down centuries that purebloods are rare. Pure blood is most common with the royal family of said race. “This is a jackpot not only did we catch mermaids we found the rarest siren.” Running away from home was not the cleverest idea, well it is father who made me angry, angry enough for me to leave our home, submerged under the water, where us
He had lived his life in agony and fear, a vampire who had a target on his back from birth all because of a title. The crown prince, son to the vampire king and his late queen, he had lived to be a ruthless man because of this cruel world, he was not born a man he is. Dean Stoker, the crown prince, the man known for his temper and cruel nature. Though his little half-brother and stepmother had always been the source of his problems all the time, this time he had an even bigger problem, his mate. He had wished to never find a mate in his life, but fate seem to want to turn him into an even more vile man that he already is. In the back of his neck lay his biggest problem yet, the mark that keeps growing, the mark that ignites pain every morning, those blue scales. "Your majesty, a ship was spotted in the harbor, it must be the second prince again." His friend and partner Holden chimes, though it did not stop the mark from furiously soring it made him focus on his other problem. "He is
