At Hirvania! After the ordeal with Razik, Knox remained in the room, wallowing in guilt after Razik left the next day. He felt even more ashamed when he sensed Delaney down the bond. She knows. Additionally, he didn't want her to learn about it in that manner, which just served to intensify the self-hatred he was already experiencing. Since the deed has already been done, Knox pushed aside all his emotions and decided to focus on the task at hand because they were running out of time. They've spent enough time here than they have anticipated. Disgusted with himself, he entered the bathroom and started scrubbing his body. However, no matter how hard he scrubbed, he couldn't wash off what he was feeling. He could still feel Razik's hands all over him, he could still hear his groans as he took pleasure from his body. Razik didn't just sleep with him once, he went all night. Knox knew that Razik was heartless but he didn't know it went up to the point of mating with him who already
How could he not find a way to bring down the barrier? It took Maddox months to figure it out. Months! He had already felt that he was close to accomplishing something significant, but after months of remaining outside the barrier without any idea of how to proceed, he started to have second thoughts. Until he arrived at a certain location and that little hybrid (Nadine) disappeared before his eyes. Then he realized there had been a barrier there all along. He wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't seen the girl with his own two eyes. He didn't just find the hybrid Queen; he also discovered their hiding place, therefore the first thing he did was to report back to King Atlas for his reward. Maddox was fully aware of Atlas' involvement with the rogues, but he wasn't opposed to it—after all, he is after the Aligning oneself with such a potent influence wouldn't be such a bad thing if Atlas is successful in governing the supernatural world with the help of the rogues at his disposal. As
“Atlas!” Delaney stated while keeping a wary eye on him. She finally understood why there weren't any rogues in the hallway at that point. He must have anticipated their arrival! His blood-red fangs, which signify that he recently fed, were displayed as he smirked. His grey hair appeared to have gotten longer, but otherwise, he was pretty much the same as before. Despite having lived for more than a thousand years, he appeared to be in his late fifties. "Ahh, I see you've met your aunt," he said as his red eyes landed on her before flitting to Emaline. "And here I thought you were defending your people at your phony hideout. Who would have imagined you would have given a young lad command of a war? Let me guess, he's your son?” Delaney's heart trembled. That is her weak spot and he knows it. She also understands that he's trying to frighten her into acting rashly, so she took a long breath while trying to calm herself down. 'Ivan will be fine. He is fine. I trust him —’ Before she
“How is she?” Rakel asked once the doctor came out.There were still a lot of things to accomplish even if the war was done, but Rakel couldn't force himself to care—not while Delaney has been out for two days.The nurse grinned broadly and said, "Congratulations, Alpha! The Queen is expecting a child!Rakel's mind went blank for a minute, he gaped in awe at the nurse. “What?”“She is two months gone. The pregnancy has a minor complication, but it should be fine as long as she remains bedridden for the following four months. However, something must have happened. Make sure she maintains a stable mood throughout this time because a mother's negative emotions might have an impact on the baby and increase the risk of miscarriage. Once she awakens, she would be ravenous."Rakel continued to stand still after the nurse had left. 2 months? Wasn't that the night that he and Knox tormented her until dawn? The night he learned he was a father. Fortunately, she didn't lose the baby because if h
A few plates were delivered into a room by a maid hours later for Delaney. But only they are aware that it is just a farce. The maid primarily brought the food to deliver a tiny bottle that she had brought from the shaman on Nadine's order. "Your Majesty, in order to use this to prevent pregnancy, you need a drop. To end a pregnancy, use three drops. Your womb might be destroyed in five drips." Delaney gave a nod. "That's it for now, Mari." “Yes.” Delaney chewed her lips, finally alone, and glanced at the black bottle. The more she stared at it the more guilty she became. Rakel's expression replayed in her mind over again threatening her resolve. The first time she found out she was pregnant — that's the first time she was captured by her stepdad, she always pictured how Rakel would have reacted whenever he founds out she was pregnant. Now that she knows, she found herself hesitating to go on with it. Her hand massaged her tummy once more; it appeared to be a habit that most pre
He was ready to start talking when Delaney did something unexpected that caught him off guard. She sprinted in his direction and threw herself into his arms. Knox squinted before slowly encircling her small waist with his arms. He was shocked and asked, "You are not upset with me?" In response, Delaney bit his arm earning a hiss from him. ‘Yup, she's furious, but then why is she hugging me?’ Knox thought. He had already pictured how this will go, with her lashing out at him, rejecting his mate bond but this... “My love, I'm sorry,” he whispered into the quiet room. He heard Delaney sniff and became worried. "Say something, love. Hit me if that helps you feel better, but don't cry, hmm?" he grabbed her face in his palm and felt his heart breaking when he saw tears streaming down her face. “I'm not crying. Something got into my eyes.” snorted and blinked frantically. Knox nodded. “Yes, yes, something must have entered into your eyes.” “Don't you ever leave me, okay? No matter wh
Chapter 1: Blood - Deep HatredSlap!The sound resonated room causing all eyes to turn to them. Ivy's head whipped to the side at the force he used on her. She hadn't gotten over the shock when another slap landed on her face again.“What did you just say? I'm your boyfriend?” he laughed maniacally and shoved her to the ground. She could have easily prevented the fall, but the 12-inch heels she was donning had no effect, leaving her helpless to watch as she hit the ground. “You fool, you think I'll keep a trash like you as my lover?” he poured the red wine in his hand over her hair making it flow like a puddle of blood dripping down her head. Even with the cruel way he treated her, Ivy felt nothing. Her mind was like an endless void, blocking out every emotion from her heart. In a daze, her gaze return to the man who she had called her boyfriend for two years. She watched as he kissed a petite blonde lady in front of her then he bent low, sneering at how pathetic she looked. “See t
Ivy awoke suddenly, a scowl imprinted on her forehead as the earlier scene entered her consciousness. When she thought back to her mate — whatever his name was — drugging her, anger ensued. The bastard drugged her! She had always imagined how they would meet; with her beating the hell out of him, what she never imagined is that they would meet with her in such a pitiful state. She sensed movement in the room and stilled wondering who that was, her frown deepening when she smelt a human. A human? Oddly enough, she felt her fangs lengthening the more she inhaled the human's scent. What is going on? She took a long breath while trying to shut out the smell of the human in order to determine where she was, but all she could smell was disinfectant. Where the hell was she? Feeling the cold air on her skin, she peeled her eye opened sat up unable to take the suspense and unanswered questions anymore. She noticed that she was wearing a thin t-shirt and that, contrary to expectations, she d
