Raizel's POVI didn’t stop Eleanor further and I want to see if she will fight and take her attacks. In the end, she let Eleanor do as she pleased. A woman, she’s a hybrid who has the power of witches and werewolves."The one who gave me this curse was the one who killed me again," Ynez replies.My eyes move down and I notice the small doll on her wrist. There’s a stain of blood on its chest. "Are you really stupid?! You let her do as she wishes again?! Can’t you learn your lesson and fucking listen to my warnings? Do you really want to die, huh?!" that woman says.The bitter and sad eyes Ynez shows while looking at her friend were the answer to her question. "Tala, I’m bound to die anyway. It’s not a bad thing," Ynez says.I dashes and pass through Eleanor. I stood behind Ynez and wrapped my hands around her. She loses her balance. The woman named Tala looks at me. She scoffs and gives me glares.I guess this hybrid knows everything. That explains her glares at me. Raizen, grab my pa
Ynez's POVAfter being away for eight long years, I returned home to a dinner that was completely unexpected. I couldn't believe it and I regretted agreeing to come back. I should have stayed in Bhutan and come up with some good excuses, but it was too late now."We're so happy that you're finally home after all these years, sis," my sister Yza said with a smile.I just smiled back at her. As the door opened, my eyes widened in shock when I saw who walked in. Our eyes met and I was completely frozen.Raizel was a sight to behold, with his captivating cognac eyes, perfectly arched brows, long dark eyelashes, oval face, and defined jawline. His pointed nose and kissable lips only added to his charm, making him a man who could easily steal hearts with just one glance.I took a deep breath, trying to understand what I was feeling. It's a mix of happiness and a strong desire to run into his arms and embrace him. It felt like I had missed him so much that it was physically painful."Agh," I
Raizel's POVIn her eyes, I see nothing. It's a shallow darkness that's even more terrifying than a black hole. Just as I was about to strike her again, she unexpectedly punched me in the face and pushed Eleanor, causing my beloved to lose her balance and fall onto the sand. In a fit of madness, she roared,"I will kill you, bitch!" Eleanor got up, revealing her claws, and charged towards Ynez, launching an attack.Ynez instinctively raised her hands and crossed them to defend herself. Her white wedding gown became stained with her own blood."Eleanor, stop! Let me handle her," I shouted. I swiftly intervened between them, causing Eleanor to cease her assault on Ynez. She glared at me."Don't tell me you're defending her? If you are, I'll break up with you and leave forever!" Eleanor roared. Her words alarmed me. I held her hand and looked at her tenderly."Why would I defend her? I said I'll take care of her," I replied.Ynez scoffed. I turned around to face this woman. I will show h
Raizel's POVI have a sense of seeing a clone or an illusion. Perhaps I was beaten too hard, causing me to see things. There's a boy standing in the doorway, dressed in pants and a white shirt. He looks exactly like me!I find myself staring at my seven-year-old self in disbelief. I gulp. "Everything is okay now. We successfully diverted the attention of the guest and... Oh no! Raizel? Two Raizels?!" exclaims Vincent, looking at the child with a confused expression.Tala and Vincent came here to check on Ynez, but they were surprised when they saw the child in front of them. Our family turned around and also noticed the child.He stood there silently, tears streaming down his cheeks. He wiped away his tears and put on a brave face as he looked at Ynez's lifeless body."Mommy! Mommy!" he cried, running towards the bed and ignoring us completely. He jumped on the bed and embraced Ynez?! What did he just say?!"What the! That k-kid looks l-like you when we were kids, King Raizel. Why is
Ynez's POVMy body was still shaking. Last night's events weren't the only cause of my collapse and death. It's all because of the curse I got seven years ago.I'm relieved that my son was born healthy and didn't inherit the same curse. I've already died once and I only have two chances. I need to break this curse or my son will suffer after I'm gone."We need to get out of here before things get worse," I say.I head downstairs and hear my son laughing in the garden. I go to the kitchen and thankfully find it empty. I take a knife and hide it behind my back. As I open the main door, they see me approaching.Raizen smiles and runs to me, hugging me right away. I smile at him. "I'm sorry, son... Forgive me for being selfish," I whisper.My eyes turn icy blue and my son loses consciousness. I put him down on the bench beside me. "What are you doing?!" dad yells.I lifted the knife and aimed the blade at my neck, causing them to stand up. "Back off! Stay away from us," I warned, fully aw
Raizel's POVThe timid and quiet girl's transformation into a brave, fighter, and arrogant girl caught me off guard. I wonder if it's because she has someone to protect. She even threatened me and Eleanor.I recall my family's warning from last night, after her family left us in my office. They made it clear that there would be consequences for my actions.Despite being the king now, I realize that I'm not in control of everything. "Bullshit!"I couldn't help but curse. I'm torn about what choice to make. I know Eleanor will despise me if I abandon her and follow my family's decision."I've given you an option. Don't be foolish and reject me!" she demanded.In a moment of anger, I grabbed her neck and pinned her against the wall. Ynez didn't flinch or show any sign of fear."I've already died in your hands, your majesty. Do you really think you can scare me? Don't give me a damn. Kill me. Let's see if your mistress wi
Raizel's POV She was taken aback by my actions, but she was already in pain all over. We hid beneath a small table covered with a long tablecloth. "Where are those two? I hope they're not fighting," Romaine said. We heard her lock the door and listened to her footsteps. I didn't move yet, as I needed to make sure my sister had really left the room. I looked at her and could sense the intense pain she was experiencing. It felt like I was being pricked with needles and struck by lightning. I also felt colder and colder. I couldn't understand what was wrong with her. I watched Ynez endure the pain. I sighed and said, "You're freezing!" She pushed me away, turned her back, and hugged herself, trembling from the intense cold. She lifted her shirt as if examining something. As it grew darker, I felt like my death was imminent. "What's happening to you? Are you cursed or something?" I asked straightforwardly. "And so? Can you even find the cure of this curse?" she shouts angrily. I wo
Ynez's POVIt has been a year since our divorce. I used to think that the moon goddess didn't hear my prayers. Then, I woke up in Bhutan with no mark on my neck.I spoke with my son and told him the truth. He understood and didn't ask me to give his father a chance. When I looked at myself, I saw a better reflection.The curse was still there, but I managed to break two of the three tiers, which means I can live for another year before it consumes me completely."Mommy, what's going on?" Raizen asked, noticing the luggage on my left side.I smiled and took my son's hand. "We are going back to England. Now that you know about my curse and when I will die, I want you to claim your rights as Lorenzo and Richards. I know you will be loved by both families. If I don't break this curse, I want you to be surrounded by the people I trust the most," I whispered.He was taken aback and suddenly pulled
