Damn it! She does… and she is pushing for something that will never happen; she will never set foot in the human realm, ever. She is a perfect target, and I am not going to risk her.After we raided all the labs and military facilities, we negotiated a peace treaty with the human realm: limited access and very tight security between the supernatural and human communities. We had exchange prog

Chapter: Chapter 287 - FamilyAsteria D´AngeloWe settled in the bungalows. All my cousins, their kids, the whole family… it was something that we needed to have this type of moment. A moment of peace, of family banter, jokes, and undeniable love.Around six in the afternoon, we all started getting ready for the BBQ and s´mores Dominic had promised everyone.“So, I need the fire dragons to set up the pit…” Dominic smirked, and Arman nodded. “Come on, Urien, Adam… you can help set the wood, and I get the fire,” Arman smirked, and Urien laughed.“Show off…” he grumbled, and then Elisa stood beside me laughing.“The Pendragon royal bloodline masters the elements, the Dragnoir bloodline masters the powers of the gemstones…” She sighed, and I nodded.“But then, why was Talia an Amethyst Dragon?” I looked at her, giving her a side glance.“I don't know; I hope they are not related somehow…” Elisa scrunched her face, and I laughed.“It is a prophecy… I was made an Amethyst because the only bloodline that could protect me

Don't enable them!” I pouted, and he laughed.He whistled, loud, shrieking, the type of whistle that commanded attention. “Either you pick a car, or you are staying!” he yelled, and people started scrambling around. I looked up at my mate and smiled.We have had an eventful year. After the war and the funeral, Grecco and Liah greeted their firstborn daughter… Grace. That kid was a menace. Aurie was shy, Azul was a giggly creature, and this one was loud for both of them. Goddess, help them both… that kid is going to make them see their luck, of course, in a D´Angelo way, with style.Dad was released from the hospital and decided he wanted to take a quiet time with Mom in the cabin. They moved to the countryside of t

Liah had contractions, and on the way out, he looked over his shoulders and said, “You two, with dad…” He yelled, and I looked at Akasha, and she laughed.“Of course, a D´Angelo baby was coming most unexpectedly,” she laughed, and I couldn't hold the laugh myself.“That is the trademark,” I joked, lacing my fingers with my mate and leading the way into my father's guard.“Son… Grecco and Liah are having the baby…” he smiled, and I nodded.“Yeah, the D´Angelo timing at its best,” I joked,“Of course, we are always making big entrances…” Dad smirked,“And grand exits, too…” I added,“Of course, there is no other way to go… go big or go home…” Dad smirked,“How are you doing? And don't give me that crap that you are fine,” I said, and he sighed.“I am doing well…” he paused,“And by good, you mean?” I lifted my eyebrows.“Fucking terrified of how I am going to live my life like a simple mortal…” he sighed, and I took a step forward a

Chapter: Chapter 284 - Talking to DadAsteria D´AngeloWe couldn't make it to the funeral. It was too recent, too raw, and too much for Zane to be present. After the funeral and once everything was done, I managed to take Zane along to the hospital.Dad is waking up, in and out of consciousness, and he needs us around. I really hope Matty gets to see him; he has been asking for him.We walked into the hospital, and all my siblings were there. I sat beside Elisa, and she patted my knee, and I sighed.“Is Dad up?” I asked, and she sighed.“Yes, he is talking to Mom, and then he wants to see us.” Elisa sighed, and I looked around.“Where the hell is Matty?” I sighed,“He is getting there,” she said, and I took a deep breath. I looked at Zane, and he locked his eyes with mine.“Sweetie… What's wrong?” he sighed,“Nothing, only Matty not being here… and Dad asking for him,” I sighed, and he tapped my hand.“He is a grown man, and your father understands,” Zane sighed, and I took a deep breath. He was right, but deep down I was

Chapter: EpilogueRomeo POVOur babies are three months old, and Stella has been doing wonderfully with motherhood. She is flourishing into her new roles, her role as Quen and her role as a brand-new mother.Ralph usually gives her more trouble than our sweet baby girl, Stormee. She is just like that, like a storm that takes time to brew, but when it hits you, it hits you fucking hard.I was lounging in my office going through some paperwork when Stella barged in. “Hey, Sweetie…” I lifted my eyebrows, and she sighed,She was silent, and I knew she wanted to discuss something important. “What is it?” I dropped the papers and realized she was biting her nails. This was not a good sign; it meant something was troubling her mind.“We need ground rules…” She blurted, and I squinted my eyebrows.“What?” I sighed. I had no context or background to that first comment.“Pay attention, Romeo!” she said, frustrated, and I closed my eyes, trying to see where this was going. Ralph is mated to King David's daughter,

Chapter: Chapter 120 - The Wolf-Less Queen Romeo POVIt has been five months since we crossed forces with the darkness. My idea of setting up a council with every ruler as the head of their species was well received. We created treaties and laws that united our realms, and with the help of the Sisters of the Willow, we made a portal system that allowed our people to move back and forth.Morgan was a celebrity in the Dragon Realm. His technology expertise paid off, and now that the dragons had experienced technological advances, they were thrilled to learn more about it. That pushed him and Marcy to move to the Dragon Realm for a while. After all, we were their providers of the technology implemented in their realm. King David was the funniest, trying to video call everyone at all times. His daughter hatched two months ago, a gorgeous baby with purple eyes. The dragon's legends say the purple-eyed dragons were rare and blessed. I guess my pup got lucky on that one.

Chapter: Chapter 119 - Family DinnerStella POVWe managed to walk out of our room and headed to dinner. I was hoping to see everyone there, and I was sure not disappointed. Our table suddenly felt bigger, full of people and laughter. My heart warmed up, seeing the way our pack and friends had recovered from the massive attack we had endured.Everybody went silent as soon as we crossed the threshold of the dining hall. Rose's face lit up, and when our gazes crossed, I couldn't help but give her a broad smile. My eyes moved around, and my heart clenched when I saw Nate sitting in his wheelchair. It is unfair that such a fantastic person has to deal with that kind of recovery.My dearest Elemental elder friends were there as well. Eleanore, Everly, Elphaba, and Evangeline. I owe them everything.

Chapter: Chapter 118 - AftermathRomeo POVIt was 3 weeks since the attack, all the visiting allied Alphas went back to their packs. They took the few casualties that they had, and everything was coming back to normal. Everything except my mate was still in the hospital, connected to wires with her eyes closed.The ladies of the Circle of the Willow decided to stay in my pack, waiting for Stella to wake up. King Aelfred and Kind David also stayed, but they sent their people back. Queen Sirena decided to take care of Stella personally. While King Vladimir returned to his kingdom, he said he would be back as soon as Paige and Eulisses´s baby was born, with Tatiana.I decided to stay at the hospital for as long as my mate was there. The staff had to pull an extra bed into Stella's guard to make my stay more comfortable. I couldn't part from her. I felt that the moment I walked out of that room, she would wake up, and I wanted to be the first face she

Chapter: Chapter 117 - Moon Goddess Blessing Stella POVDarkness was all I saw around me, I knew we had won, I felt at peace, and I was content with the life that I had lived. I was ready to meet my creator and to rest in peace. I let out a sigh, wishing I could have made it, but I also understood that certain sacrifices should be made for the greater good. So I was at peace.I heard a little giggle, and a white light blasted over me. I opened my eyes and realized that I was in a clearing, similar to where I was before, but there was no one around except me and a lady in a white dress.I walked towards the lady and I knew immediately that she was our Goddess. I guess I was in heaven. “My child, you did well… I am proud of you, you saved every species around, and for that, I am proud of you.” Selene said to me in a mellow and melodic voice.She sat on the ground facing the sky and I sat next to her. “You know that I bles

Chapter: Chapter 116 - Facing the End Part 2Paige POVShe blasted me. The fucking bitch blasted me with dark magic with full force. At that moment, I was thankful that Vladimir had asked me for an elf´s armor. Coral´s magic was slipping away from my body, not reaching me and not affecting me.I saw it in her eyes. She didn't know what was happening, she didn't understand the reach of white magic, and she was confused about what was protecting me. Beside the armor, the witches of the Circle of the Willow cast a blessing spell over me. No dark magic would be allowed to harm me, regardless of who cast it or how strong it was.I smiled at my ex-friend. “Oh, Coral, you wouldn't understand. Darkness is never stronger than light. Darkness corrupts everything, while light leads to a better path. You left darkness to consume you, and now you can't even see clearly what is happening around you.” I raised my eyes, looking at her completely dark ones. She gave me a look of co

Chapter: EpilogueAelfredLife has been full of surprises. The first was losing my parents and becoming a king at a young age.The lifelines built on and around me were mere condescending, power-hungry people who saw me as a means to an end. I thought I was a good king until she appeared in my life.Waiting for her to come of age almost cost me everything, even my sanity. But as they say, the big sacrifices always pay off. Stormee became the woman I needed to have beside me. Our bond was indescribable and beautiful.She is fierce, strong, and resilient. She has shown me that to lead, one has to use the brain and mostly the heart. I want to lead by example and care for everyone without exception. Kindness goes a long way, and accepting everyone´s perspectives and points of view enriches the governance process.My mate, Stormee Adalwülf, came into my life and showed me that love is unconditional and that a true mate bond will ensure and support the other&ac

Chapter: Chapter 147 - SurviveStormee AdalwulfOnce the babies and I were cleaned up and well-rested, we opened the door for our visitors.Mom and Dad barged in, and immediately, Mom melted at the sight of our babies. Rhys was an identical copy of his father. Pale skin, swirling magical eyes, and even pointy ears were present. He was a cute little thing, and I adored him already. Saryn was more my jam. I mean, she was strong-willed and beautiful. Her skin was also pale, and her eyes matched my green ones. She didn´t have pointy ears, which made me believe she might be more like a wolf than a fairy."Two?" Mom cooed, and I nodded... "I don´t want to brag, but I called it." Mom beamed. "Names?" Dad asked, and I smiled."The little guy is Rhys, and she is Saryn," I said, and my father beamed. Mom and Dad wanted to start a tradition—R´s for the boys, S´s for the girls—and I knew he was pleased with our choices."May I pick him up?" Aunt Paige asked, and I nodded. They took the kids

Chapter: Chapter 146 - TwinsAelfredTime went by, and knowing what I knew and keeping it a secret from my mother had been killing me, especially when I secretly remodeled the nursery so it would fit two babies instead of one. I have been juggling everything, keeping Storm oblivious and handling the realm. To say I am tired as fuck is an understatement.I locked the nursery door and then created a portal for the crew to walk in. They will assemble everything in the warehouse and then set it up in the room as quietly as possible. I was handling that while having a conference call with David, the Dragon King. He heard of Romeo´s profitable investments in my realm, and he wants to participate.I appreciated his input and help, especially in growing our beauty line into the Dragon realm´s market. He was planning a treatise for us to work on when I heard a loud bang."Wait, I need to go," I said as every worker moved silently into the warehouse. I then made my way through the

Chapter: Chapter 145 - MarkingsAelfredI never imagined all the fun we had. We played a game they called charades. Then, they made us compete against each other when changing diapers. They messed the diapers with different goey things. I am sure the brown stuff was hazelnut cream with oatmeal because the whole point was to make it revolting.At first, I almost threw up, but then I got used to the slimy textures, and the challenge got easier. Vamir, on the other hand, made a mess... He ended up with his fingers all slurred in brown, and I could only imagine what would happen when the thing on his fingers was not hazelnut cream. I could have nightmares over that one.Myriad and Blass will not let him live that one out. Romeo and Eulisses joked and played. We all indulged in Stella by wearing funny T-shirts with funny phrases, and in the end, we ended up wearing bibs... We looked dumb, but it was all in good fun. Stormee was elated, and I was happy about being able to give her something to smile

Chapter: Chapter 144 - Good SportStormee AdalwulfMom and Aunt Paige took it into their hands to set everything up for the baby shower. Aelfred was both intrigued and scared of it.What scared him the most was that neither my dad nor Uncle Eulisses gave him any guidance as to what would happen during the baby shower, and in his words... "He felt he was being framed,"He was not wrong. I am sure my mom and aunt prepared games, some to make fun of Aelfred and his unfortunate lack of diaper-changing skills. Naturally, he doesn´t have the skills, but who is complaining?Mom knocked on my door and walked in. "Honey, I´ve got your outfits for this evening." She beamed, and I lifted my eyebrows... We didn´t talk about special outfits for the occasion."What have you done?" I asked, and Mom laughed..."Nothing just did some T-shirts..." Mom giggled, and I opened the bag with the so-called ´just t-shirts in it.I took one that said "Magic Creator," the

Chapter: Chapter 143 - PregnancyStormee AdalwulfBeing pregnant with a magical being is not an easy feat. So far, I have burned half of our living room and frozen the waterfall that overlooks the balconies to the Queen's gardens. Al just laughed about it, while I was utterly taken aback."This is not normal!" I protested while Aelfred laughed almost hysterically. I had been thrashing the place for weeks, and he just laughed with amusement."It is, for a powerful magical being." He cupped my cheek while I pouted."How was your meeting today?" I asked him, and he smiled."Everything is going wonderfully..." he said, and I smiled. Ever since he took WEC´s pleas into consideration and executed a beautiful plan for women to have proper facilities to breastfeed their babies, the women of WEC have been meeting with him once a month, in addition to the weekly meetings they hold with Sary and me.Al mesmerized them and charmed them into becoming almost a King Aelfred´s
