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
Stefano's memory, "What can you do for me if I seal my sister?" Titania asked as she watered her healing plants in front of her hut. Stefano stood behind her, looking at the river. Even after she had gained all the knowledge she needed, Titania remained in the path of light. She used her magic to heal and help those who needed her. Often, people exploited her kindness, but never once she showed disappointment over their actions. Titania accepted that she couldn't lead everyone to the path of light and only did her best to those who chose the light rather than the darkness. Those who followed her in the path of light were blessed with magic that served the light. It was said that a white witch would exist one at a time to continue Titania's teaching and belief. A white witch was considered a sacred bein
Mira opened her eyes and groaned. She rubbed the soreness on the back of her head. Sighing, she sat up and looked around. She was back inside the same room as before. Mira didn't expect Adeline to change her side that fast. But she understood why Adeline decided to team up with Alistair. He must have shown something to Adeline that made the latter help him.Mira leaned against the stone wall, thinking again. Her wrists and legs were chained to the floor, and the chains were long enough for her to move about. But the chains were something else. She stared at the markings on the chains and noticed those were dark magic. No matter how hard she tried to break the chain, her attempts failed. Instead, Mira just sat there, breathing, and stayed in silence."So, you decide to keep quiet too?" Mira said to no one particularly.
Adeline raised her hand, wanting to slap the smile from Mira's face, but the latter continued to beam the same smile. Mira felt bad for Stefano that his love for his wife was questioned. It was true that he kissed Mira a few times and spent a lot of time with her, but Mira didn't feel a thing about it. Stefano did it to deceive those around him."What are you going to do now?" Mira asked Adeline. "Wanting to kill me?""You..." Adeline gritted her teeth.Mira sat down on the floor. She only spent a few months with Cohen before she ended up dead, and yet she never doubted his love. Mira knew Cohen wouldn't doubt her love for him either. Both of them had a firm foundation in their relationship, even though they didn't know much about each other.But Mira felt bad for Adelin
He trusted her even though he only met her once in the diner. For years, General Sylas used the information that Mira gave to him and dismantled countless Knights of Death's operations in all the realms. He managed to speed up his hunting and investigation with the same information, but it only covered forty percent of the dark organization's size. Without Mira's report, the investigation would have dragged on, and Sylas would continue hunting down only small groups of the Knights of Death. Now, he couldn't let down her ambition to get rid of the Knights of Death. "Lord Stefano, how do you want to proceed?" Sylas asked. "Trinity wasn't playing around when she called it the Castle of Darkness," Stefano said, looking at the dark-looking castle far ahead of them. "I'm going ahead to meet her. You and your team eliminate every single creature in the castle."
