Victor POV
I glanced at Aram who was lying on his bed in his room in the palace. I gave him a special place to stay here so I could have access to him 24/7. He was still unconscious. The high priest confessed, four of Queen Luna's men brutally hit him with a whip.
Beside me were Zenith and the royal doctor who checked his condition. Two 'hypourgoi' were monitoring his heart and pulse rate.
"How long will he regain his consciousness?" I questioned the royal doctor and his swift glance was shifted to me. I was not staring at him when I asked but I could see from the corner of my eyes, he was frightful.
"What's the matter? Can you not answer my question?" I asked as I slowly moved my head to his side facing him. My stern look caught him off guard, he knew with what happened today, a negative reply was the least that I would want to hear.
"My King, it will take time! His wounds are deep and Queen Luna might have put something on the wh
Matthew POVI was excited but at the same time fidgeting!It took me so long to choose the outfit I was going to wear after shifting. I pulled and slid my hanging shirts on the rack, my eyes were getting narrower and narrower till it was the last shirt that I touched. I left a frustrating sigh when it was futile. My gasp escaped my open mouth while my hands nestled on my waist, still gawking at my branded or custom-made outfits that were elegantly hanging on the rack of my wide wardrobe."Sonia!" I loudly called my butler to ask for her help.As she rushed to my room, she was stunned to see me just standing there with my eyes fixed on those clothes. I turned around to face her awestruck look and pointed my index finger at my apparel."Choose an outfit for me? It's for my after-shifting!""Master? What do you mean, Master?"Exactly! What did I mean by that? I constantly bit my lips showing my jumpy side. She ambled to
Riona POVWho was he to order me around?Well, I forgot, he was my Master and I was his mere slave. But even so, who was he to yell at me? Again! Who was I kidding?! He had all the right to do that to me. He could even slash my throat if he wanted. I trembled on that thought. I'd rather begin the task he gave me tonight so I could finish early. I glanced around and checked the surroundings. I couldn't see any dirt except for the unfinished meal on the table. What was I going to clean?I cleaned up the table and did the dishes fast instead. My heart was ticking like the hand of the grandfather clock mounted on the wall. After cleaning up, I went straight to my room and changed. The beautiful dress I prepared earlier was already in my backpack waiting for me on the bed. I hated the fact that my outfit ripped every time I shifted and if there wasn't a good Samaritan who always left a shirt or a coat in the forest, I would go back to the mansion naked. I
Matthew POV The tip of my manhood was already at the entrance like a soldier prepared to attack. She pushed me away, I also got up and stepped back. We're both aware we're naked but that's not important right now! She bent her body, her hands covered her chest and her jewel, I couldn't deny, I was tempted to lower my dumbstruck gaze once in a while. "Master, what are you doing here?" her question brought me back to my senses, shaking my head, and tried to focus my now blue ocean orbs on her but h*ck, who was I kidding? Those pinkish nipples were drowning my sanities to lust, could be slobbering enough to suck and devour them. "Master, you quit staring at my boobs. Answer my question. What are you doing here?" her louder upset tone quivered me or maybe it's that d*mn early winter breeze that just greeted my body with its blow. "Am I not supposed to be the one asking that, Slave?" I questioned, making my voice fierce equalling her mood. But deep
Riona POV I had no idea what to do now? My whole senses trembled like an earthquake my mind was a mess. How could that happen? No! How did that happen? He's a Moore! He knew about the Blue Moon Pack. Strings of questions were floating in the air while I locked myself in my room, curled my body into a ball, clutched my hands around my knees, and buried my head on my lap. "Why was he here?" "What's his connection with the Moores clan?" "Was he really my mate?" "Friya, what are we going to do now?" I asked my wolf that was also become mute since the sun rose and a tiny whimper replied to my question. "What do you mean? You see I don't understand you if you're like this. I'm asking you, are we going to escape here or we're just going to stay?" I rubbed my chest, I felt I was into thin air. Escaped again?! Where were we going this time? "Let's leave this place and we'll never meet our mate again. But if we stay, he might bring us back to Blue Moon Pack. We can't escape there for th
Victor POV"This is the tree. The claw's mark is on the trunk. Where's the root?"It was midnight when Zenith and I searched for that portal my mother destroyed a long time ago. Our sharp wolf eyes ransacked the area. Zenith used her strong sense to locate that root where the chosen maiden was tripped over. Her acorn brown eyes glistened in the dark as her fingers were spread on the side of her legs feeling the energy of the elements.I was just staring at her waiting for her announcement. I couldn't help but admire her simple charm while beckoning her power to come forward."My King, it's right under these dry leaves!" my thoughts of her were interrupted when her cold voice suddenly sprang and..."Queen Luna's order! We have to stop them!" my mother's army's rushing footsteps triggered us to hurry."My King, they're near!" Zenith updated while her youthful hands found their ways to grope the dirty ground. Her g
Riona POVBreakfast! Again!Nonetheless, this time was different. Coz we were both having a meal together I felt like I had been promoted. But I was still the one who prepared for his food. What happened yesterday was still fresh in my mind. We almost made it. I couldn't believe I had fallen that quick. NO! That was just plain lust. A libido that's natural to species of any kind."Why aren't you eating your food?""Huh?!" his deep stern voice startled me and his cold stare almost made me cough.The cutlery that had been hanging in the air for a few seconds made a ting sound as it collided with the plate. I was about to bite a strip of bacon when the tiny hair on my skin suddenly stood erect, indicating someone was watching my every movement. And I was right, my Master while chewing his meal on one side of his mouth, was eyeing me."Master, do you need anything?" I asked in a low tone but he just arched his eyebrow, I had no clue
Victor POVMy vision wandered to this small and modern version of my palace that was surrounded by brawny warriors in simple shirts and jeans. I narrowed my eyes trying to scare them but they just did the same thing. I tried to scent if they were my kind but I couldn't smell any. Even the man who brought me to this place was clean.My eyes continued to wander as we sauntered to a wide entrance door. It was framed with black and gold-plated shiny metal with panels of oak color wood on its surrounding walls I could already guess the owner was a domineering man. But what I couldn't foretell was why were we standing in front of this marble-floored foyer."What are we doing here?" I asked Baron who was also just standing beside me without glancing at him. My stare was focused on the marble-coated three-step platform in front of the entrance."We're waiting for the master of the house!" Baron simply replied while he raised his chin.I squinted my e
Riona POV"Please, stop it! Master, stop it!"I was screaming, trembling, circling them while they attacked each other. My master was growling I could scent his fury while the alpha king was calm but his wolf also showed fierce I couldn't measure. As my master bit the alpha king's shoulder, the latter winced but got hold of the pain and bit my master's neck making him growl more."Alpha King, no!" I screamed as I tried to stop them.My blurry eyes blinked to another raven wolf that jumped in the middle and with full force, he swung around snapped defensively at the two. But it was almost futile to separate them for both possessed immeasurable strength. The raven wolf bark-growled giving them a warning. It was early in the morning, I hope no one had heard although my master didn't have neighbors, their growling was ear-piercing.When I saw Hamil and some brawny men, I immediately ran towards him, asked for his help."Please, stop them!" my ey
