After they had located the last known location, Cohen didn’t want to waste any more time. He led his tracking teams out as soon as possible. The lands they were covering were too much even with the help of three packs. He wanted to focus his mind on finding Mira, but he had to split his focus on finding Vincent and Brandon, too, with the current situation. He already failed to protect her. He couldn’t fail to defend his entire pack. What kind of Alpha would he become if he was unable to protect them?
He walked to the dirt road that led to an abandoned mine and knelt to touch the dirt. There weren’t any tires’ tracks. This road hadn’t been driven on for a long time. Was he searching in the wrong place?
“Alpha, there are some movements at the mine
Cohen could only watch helplessly as someone took his mate again. Everyone just stood there, not moving a muscle as he tried to regain his focus once again. At this point, he was close to losing his mind again. His hands were aching to rip someone’s throat. He turned his attention to the daemon who was crouching next to the dead guard.Clavier took off the guard’s helmet and saw nothing but a skeleton underneath the silver armor. Of course, these were the undead soldiers. Angel of Death’s loyal followers in the Kingdom of Moon Goddess. Once he was cast out, his army followed. Damn it, Clavier cursed. Knights of Death was the undead. He didn’t know the organization was the Knights of Death from the Moon Goddess’ Kingdom. All these times, he thought they adopted the name because of the things
Mira wrapped her hands on the chain and planted her right feet on the wall as she tried to yank the chain off the wall. She had been trying to break the chain with anything she could think of, but the chain was too strong. The shackle on her right wrist had begun to annoy the shit out of her. Usually, she could yank off any kind of chain but not this one.“Oh, come on!” Mira yelled. “I just got my memories, reunited with my husband, and now this!”Mira was reaching to her boiling point. Nothing else was frustrating enough other than unable breaking free. Why her happiness always short-lived? Her mind was still overwhelmed by the memories.Right now, she was locked in a circular room with a transparent dome and no windows. This was like Damien’s dungeon all over again. She ha
He had lived as long as his memories allowed him to remember. He had witnessed thousands of wars, cities rose and fell, countries were defeated and victorious, and so much more. He remembered every single detail. Then, he saw her as she walked down the muddy road in her dark brown dress with a basket of apples. Every time she passed a beggar, she gave an apple to that person. Her spirit and enthusiasm for helping the needy people had gone unnoticed, but that didn’t bother her. Every day, it would be the same. A basket of apples. The more he watched her, the more he was intrigued by her. Maybe there was still kindness in the world of mortals.“Who are you watching?” a soft-spoken person asked him.Stefano bowed in respect, “Moon Goddess, I do not expect to meet you here.”
Adeline crawled backward to the corner when the door swung opened. He entered and watched her. Between these two women, this one was reeking with fear. There was nothing about their personalities were alike. This one was easily frightened and intimidated by his presence. He wanted to intimidate the other woman, but she turned rather annoying. It amazed him about the apparent resemblance between these two women, and yet their personality was opposites. How was it possible for two women who looked just to behave differently?This one was pampered from the beginning. She didn’t know a real struggle in life because Stefano gave her everything she had. The other woman was a whole different story. It was easy to see which one would fit to survive.“What do you want from me?” Adeline asked. Fear clouded her tone too.
People didn’t understand the prophecy of the demon wolf and why cross-mating was forbidden. Granted, the supernatural species were allowed to mate with humans. Still, they weren’t allowed to mate with other species—just like the story of Mirabelle Xavier, a blueblood werewolf woman who mated to Ethan de Magnuson, the King of Vampires. Yes, Stefano heard that story. That wasn’t just a story made by anyone. That happened for real, and Mira was the fruit of their forbidden love. Their love story had created devastation between vampires and werewolves—putting an intense tension between the two species.True, that the two species had been at war with each other for centuries-long, but it wasn’t as severe as the war caused by Ethan’s forbidden mating with Mirabelle. Stefano had never witnessed so many wars could happen in a span of a few months, which resulted in thousan
After hearing the last sentence, Cohen excused himself as he looked like he was close to losing his temper. Clavier was left in the office with Stefano and two guards. This wasn’t what Stefano had planned. For three centuries, he had planned every step carefully, but no matter how good his plan was, it could never deceive the eyes of the demon wolf. His father, Phillip, was right. The demon wolf was indeed a trickster. Stefano almost fell for its trick if it wasn’t because his consciousness reminded him that he had another plan to put in a play.Mira’s demon wolf was intriguing. He didn’t know how it managed to deceive him when he took a strand of her essence to see the extent of its power. The demon wolf showed him what he wanted to see, but it suppressed everything else in her mind. That made Mira look like she had lost her memories. But, of course, Mira never lost her memories in
Flashbacks,They were in bed, snuggling and teasing each other but nothing further than that. This was another intimate moment for them. It didn’t have to be sex for it to happen. Right now, they were both enjoying each other’s company.“How many kids are you planning to have?” Mira asked him out of the blue.Her head rested on his arm as she laid down sideways with her eyes looking at him while he faced her. No matter how many times he stared into her eyes, he would always drown in them.“Many,” he replied with a grin. “I’m the only child in my family. So, I figured it fits for both of us to have many kids.”“How many, you fig
Trinity sat down in front of the makeup table and began to apply makeup on her face. She grabbed a dark red lipstick from the table and opened it before applying the lipstick to her lips.“I thought you hated darkness,” Trinity said when she looked at the silhouette standing in the darkness.Stefano stepped out with his hands tucked inside his knee-length coat. His expression remained as calm as ever. Stefano learned to keep his emotions to himself as a man who had witnessed countless things in his life. The only time he let his emotions out when he was in Adeline. Even now, he remained unfazed even though he knew Adeline was held captive by the Angel of Death. Stefano couldn’t let his emotions get the better of him. He already saw it would happen to those around him.“You let yourself be kno
