Chapter: 80*******The Lycgers spun around to see Malta looming behind them, his face twisted into a menacing grimace. He appeared different, devoid of emotion or scent—a vampire now. It became clear how he survived their previous attempt to end him. This time, they vowed to obliterate him completely, leaving nothing salvageable."I've been expecting you," Malta taunted, triggering low growls from the Lycgers.Seth's fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white. His usual calm demeanor shattered, replaced by seething rage that threatened to consume him. His voice, typically steady, now trembled with a mix of fury and concern. "Malta," he spat, venom lacing his words. "What have you done to him?" His voice resonated with a dangerous edge, sending shivers through anyone within earshot.Malta chuckled darkly, turning away to focus on the unconscious Dirk, observing as the Lion drifted in and out of consciousness. He had inflicted significant harm, eager to witness how Dirk wo

Chapter: 82*************ON THE NIGHT HE WAS TAKEN.*******Dirk woke up to the sound of his rumbling stomach, feeling weak as he carefully untangled himself from Tricc's grasp. Sitting up in bed, he took a moment to collect his strength before heading to the closet to find something to wear. His stomach rumbled once more, eliciting a chuckle that he quickly stifled to avoid waking Tricc. Despite his hunger, he quietly rummaged through the closet, discovering a pair of shorts and a shirt. After dressing swiftly, he tiptoed out of the bedroom, leaving the door slightly ajar. The hallway was deserted, the early morning hour ensuring that most of the manor's occupants were still asleep. Descending the stairs cautiously, Dirk avoided making any noise that might disturb the sleeping household. As he reached the bottom of the staircase, a light flickered on in the dining room at the far end. Squinting in the dim light, he scanned for any signs of movement before cautiously approaching th

Chapter: 84******In the heart of the castle, nestled within the towering walls, rested the grand bedroom where Dirk lay sound asleep. The bedroom is opulent elegance, adorned with rich fabrics and intricate details. The expansive windows, draped in cascading silk curtains stood tall, eager to embrace the first light of dawn. As the morning sun tiptoes across the horizon, its gentle rays filter through the sheer fabric, casting a warm, golden glow upon the room. The morning mist danced softly through the room, carrying with it the scent of the surrounding forest, a promise of new beginnings and ancient traditions. The gentle rays of the sun caressed the bed, illuminating the sleeping form of Dirk, his golden hair cascading like a waterfall onto the silk pillows. The sunbeams dance upon the plush velvet carpet, illuminating the ornate furniture with a soft radiance. The mahogany bed, with its towering canopy and cascading silk sheets, appears almost ethereal in the morning light. Th

Chapter: 86*******The sky is ablaze with the mesmerizing hues of a blood moon, the celestial body glowing with a deep, rich crimson and casting its ethereal light upon the earth below. An aura of mystery and anticipation fills the air as if nature itself is aware of the significance of this momentous occasion. As the moon rises, its radiant glow bathes the surroundings in a soft, silky light, transforming the landscape into a magical realm. Shadows dance and flicker, creating an atmosphere of both intimacy and grandeur. The stars, like shimmering diamonds, twinkle overhead, adding to the celestial spectacle. Their presence seems to amplify the significance of the Bonding Ceremony about to take place, as if they too bear witness to this sacred union. A gentle breeze rustles through the trees, carrying the scent of wildflowers and earth, while the distant sound of waves crashing against the shore adds a soothing rhythm to the night, creating a symphony of nature's elements.

Chapter: 88********"Who in the world knots a pregnant Pride?!" Caleb's voice rang through the room as he entered, startling the occupants of the study and making their eyes fly open. "Did I not warn you to be careful with him, or did you three simply forget that he isn't an Omega, and therefore, his body is not the same as an Omega's and cannot withstand certain pressures?" He looked around at them all, his face twisted into a deep frown that could rival that of a disappointed parent. "We apologize," the Lycgers muttered, their eyes glued to the ground like sheep before a storm. "It will never happen again," they promised. Caleb didn't seem impressed, and they were well aware of why. "You did something very stupid," he told them bluntly as he made his way towards Tricc's desk. Tricc immediately rose and moved away to sit beside his brothers. Caleb pulled out a chair, plopping down unceremoniously on it. "Animals!" he muttered under his breath as he settled into the chair, his gaze
