Lucianne’s devastation and the way her heart was squeezing itself made his animal howl in pain. He didn’t think twice before dashing towards her, not caring that she was in the midst of practice. Xandar pulled her into his chest in an attempt to comfort her and assure his love for her, only to have her try to push him away. When everyone saw their king sprint across the field, those taking a break started watching, and were shocked to see the way their queen was trying to break away from him. Xandar was dodging her punches aimed at his jaw and chin before caging her arms along with her body in his embrace as Lucianne sobbed and whimpered in a futile attempt to run away. Those watching blinked countless times, some even shook their heads to make sure they weren’t in a daze and squinted their eyes to verify that they

The next morning, Lucianne packed the baby essentials before she, Xandar and Mrs Parker left for the Den. Xandar was hesitant to allow their daughter to come with them at first, but seeing that both he and Lucianne could use their Authorities on those creatures if it had to be used, he gave in.    Lucianne didn’t want to spend too much time away from Reida, so she brought her daughter anywhere that didn’t pose a risk of danger. She already met the royal mavericks, and they were all loyal to Greg. Since Greg was on their side, she wasn’t worried about bringing Reida along.   They reached the Den, and many were fascinated by the princess, who was looking around with those curious lilac orbs in her mother’s arms. Hailey came over, and was elated that they brought Reida along. She dashed back to her room, got the small teddy bear sh

Saxum didn’t even sit when he reached Klementine’s place. Every administrative creature of their community was at the worn-out wooden table. Gerella went to Saxum’s side, whispered about the non-proditors’ presence into his ear and waited.  Saxum’s blue eyes darkened, and he gave a firm nod of acknowledgement before Gerella left his side to take her seat at the only empty chair left next to him. The hard-faced leader with the ability of a fortis began, “Callows. Get to it. How much longer?” The Callows were lycan triplets - Matthew, Nessa and Ourelia. Gifted and ambitious didn’t even begin to describe these three scientists, who shared a home lab since they were kids. Science fairs and competitions were for losers who wanted to waste time and potential on small-scaled successes tha

Greg muttered sarcastically at the sight of Pellethia’s glowing streaks of hair, “Great. Now that we have a live glow stick, we can stay here until nightfall and nothing will happen.”   A yellow flower near Greg bloomed instantaneously and sprayed scents of animal dung at him. The duke choked on the pungent smell and moved far away to another plant, only to be sprayed by the same foul odor by another yellow flower.   Seeing how Greg was suffering, Christian turned to Xandar and declared with a satisfied grin, “I like it here, cuz.”    Xandar himself had to look away from Greg to make sure he didn’t chuckle out loud. At that point, Christian felt something at the sole of his left foot before two green tendrils wrapped his shoe from each side and entwined with one another

Like the previous time, Margaret fell to her knees and grunted in anguish. Tate knelt before her and pulled her into his chest, increasing the intensity of the sparks and hoping that it would soothe some of the pain. It did.   Margaret felt less uncomfortable the moment the sparks intensified, and she focused on the vision that her wolf was seeing. She and everyone else around her were in a dimly lit space, and there was something…suspicious about the surroundings. Before Margaret could get anymore information, the vision ended.   That was it? Her rosewood eyes blinked in disbelief, and her awareness brought her back to the present moment. Everyone formed a circle around her and Tate, giving Margaret enough room to breathe but also allow them a good enough look at her. Tate was stroking her shoulder with his thumb, and his scent comf
