DAY 4; THRID PERSON’S POINT OF VIEW. Melody walked through the waterfall and was met with three men standing guard. It was just like Hannah had told them. Melody was a skilled fighter, so taking them out was very easy. When she saw the first man turn to ashes, she smiled triumphantly. The kill excited her.“Gamma,” A female warrior called her attention. “Do we call in the Alpha now?”Melody kept silent and listened for footsteps, and when she heard nothing, she gave the woman an OK nod. The young warrior sent Valeria a link immediately, telling her she could come in. Valeria let the rest know and together, they went in.Hannah felt as if she was betraying her father, but she also knew it was the right thing to do. She wanted to have allies from the other kingdoms, and she knew it would be impossible if her father remained king. He made the griffins seem like terrible people. It was true that some griffins were rotten to core though.“Where is the throne room?” Valeria aske
DAY 5; REALM OF THE GODS (ALYNTHI) “She killed him without thinking twice.” Fitia commented as she looked into a flowing river. She often mated souls here.“She’s stronger than you think.” Aspro said, and she spun to look at him. “Lift that curse, Fitia.”“Why should I do that? Her kind disobeyed me and they must pay.”“Do you realize how stupid you sound? Valeria wasn’t even born when that she-wolf disobeyed you. Why must she suffer for a crime she didn’t commit?”“I don’t care if she wasn’t the one. They must all die.”Aspro stared at her incredulously. In all his years, he never thought he would hear Fitia speak unreasonably. It just wasn’t like her to act in such a manner.“You aren’t even mad at them, are you?”“What?”“Don’t play dumb, Fitia. It doesn’t suit you.” He took a step towards her, “You are mad at Ophelia for disobeying you and you’re taking out that anger on innocent people.”“I am not.”“Yes, you are.”Fitia’s raised her hand midair to stop Aspro from say
THIRD PERSON’S POINT OF VIEW Immediately Azura relayed the goddess’ message, everyone in the pack was alerted. They had to prepare everything like they did during the Aima Fengari. In a moonlit forest clearing, a circular altar was prepared with care. Moonlight filtered through the leaves, illuminating the space with an ethereal glow. A smooth stone formed its foundation, symbolizing the earth's strength, and silver fabric cascaded around it like moonbeams.A silver censer emitted fragrant incense, inviting calmness. Glistening crystals represented celestial bodies, sparkling like a miniature galaxy. A small bowl of shimmering water mirrored the moon's radiance, symbolizing its connection to tides and emotions.Candles encircled the altar, their flames casting a warm glow, representing different moon phases. Fragrant herbs adorned the edges, purifying the space. The altar stood as a conduit between earth and sky, ready for the moon ritual to begin.Once everything was set, they all g
It had been exactly two years since I became queen of the werewolf kingdom and my beta, gamma, and alphas had all advised me to get a husband. A chosen mate. But they didn’t know it wasn’t easy for me. Choosing a mate on my own wasn’t as easy as they made it out to be. I had to be careful. If I chose the wrong one, I’d be stuck with him for the rest of my life. Tonight, they held a ball to help me find a suitable man to make my mate and husband. I was a nervous wreck to put it lightly. As Melody worked magic on my face, I sat still, worried. She didn’t seem to notice as she continuously applied powder to my face. “I’m so glad you agreed to this.” She coated my lips red. “We can finally get you a mate.” “I don’t want a mate, yet,” I told her. She paused. “You’re not getting younger, V. You need to get a mate and have pups with him. You need someone to take over from you like you did your father.” “I’m not ready to be a mother, Mel.” My eyes trailed down to her stomach. She was carr
“Mavros is here?” I scanned the sea of faces for him, even though I wasn’t entirely sure I’d recognize him. After the goddess freed us from the curse, I forgot what they looked like. It was as if the memory of the dream I had was erased completely.“He is the reason I forgot about the drinks. He said he wants to see you.”I paled. Mavros was the reason I murdered my mate, he was the reason I lost my brother. Did he want to kill me now? He definitely wanted to end my family bloodline.“What does he want from me?” I fidgeted with my dress. “Does he want to kill me, too?”“No,” Aspro rushed out. “My brother is over that killing thing, I guess. He only killed because Fitia asked him to. My brother was only carrying out the goddess’ orders. He won’t kill you. Besides,” he held my hand. “I’m here. I won’t let anything happen to you.”Honestly, I did not know why Aspro cared so much about me, but I liked it.“There you are,” Maya. “I’ve been looking everywhere for you.”Maya was the only Rom
By the end of the ball, Maya, Logan, Melody and Carter were pissed at me. The four of them were in my room, arms crossed, and tapping their feet to a rhythm. It was as if they choreographed how they were going to stand before coming in.“Are you just going to keep staring at me?” I asked, scrolling through my phone.“What happened tonight, V?” Maya voiced out her thought.I lifted my eyes from my phone and to her face. “What do you mean?”“Don’t fucking play dumb with me.” She pointed a finger at me. “You,” she said, “Who was that man? Your boyfriend we don’t know of?”“Whoa.” I dropped my phone on the bed. “Easy there, miss. Caelum is not my boyfriend. Just a friend.”“What about the other guy?” Carter questioned.“What guy?”I hoped they were talking about Leonardo and not Mavros. Darn, thinking about Leonardo made my blood boil. Power greedy dick.“The one you went into your room with.”Maya and Melody gasped. I was fucked. I didn’t think anyone would be upstairs becaus
If there was one thing I enjoyed after becoming queen was me not having to bother about fights or humans attacking us. The goddess promised there would be nothing like that for years to come. What I had to worry about was dealing with Mavros.“Hey, Val.” He sat on my desk. I was working on approving the files of rogues who wanted to move into the royal pack and he wouldn’t let me be.“What?” I didn’t meet his eyes.“You seem to be in a grim mood.” He observed.I rolled my eyes. “And the discovery of the year goes to Mavros.” I was sarcastic.“Hilarious.” He snatched the papers I was working on and skimmed through them. “Pack approval? Can’t your Beta do it?”“I like doing this myself. Give me the papers now.”His eyes glowed for a second, and when he handed me the papers, they were signed. Some had been approved of while he left the ones I was going to deny unsigned.“You’re done, aren’t you?” He asked. When I didn’t respond, he continued. “Now that you’re done, I say we g
“Valeria, are we still besties?” Mel questioned, throwing on a brown tee shirt.I came to her room after getting ready for the pack run. I was in black sweatpants and a white tank top. Right now, I wished I hadn’t come into her room in the first place since she was making me answer questions.“Yes, Mel. We are and always will be besties.” I answered.“Then why don’t we share stuff? You no longer tell me anything.”“Of course I do.”“No, you don’t.” She argued. “I don’t even know you anymore.”I hated pregnant Melody. She got emotional easily and threw temper tantrums. The Melody I knew seven months ago wasn’t like this. Pregnancy was changing her and, in my opinion, for the worse.“What have I not told you?” I asked, knowing fully well I’d regret it.“Everything.” She threw her hands up.“You’re exaggerating.”She glared at me. “I’m exaggerating?”“Sorry.”She pulled her hair up into a ponytail. “I forgive you. Now spill the beans, Val. Tell me the truth. Who is that man? Tyrion? Who i
