Chapter 20- To be or not to be
Watching her werewolf mate easily snap the demon’s head did nothing to her. How could she forget the dead look in his eyes when he rejected her. Not even hesitating a little bit. She refused to get swooned by his kind charms again, werewolves were all same towards the end. Most of them only wanted power and cared about ranks. Primal instincts at the best. However, she did shiver a little at the words of the second Aamon’s riddle. It might sound perplexing to a foreigner’s ears, but she already knew the answers. The darkness, the seek…. As soon as Dante was faced by the ordeal of the riddle and the self-sacrifice of the demon, he turned around, facing her once again.She gulped hard, forcing her body to stop reacting to those golden eyes of his. They were deceitful. At first, it lures you in with its golden ambience and silver swirls but the moment you think you could get lost in it, you realised its true intention. And they weren’t good ones. ‘I accept your rejection’, she bravely

Chapter 21- When in Rome, do as the Romans do
Dante sank into his large office chair as his eyes darted on the piling folders on the desk. It was going to take him days to go through all the cases and read them thoroughly. He called Caleb via mind link. ‘Yes boss’.‘Caleb, send all the royal healers to your pack immediately’, he told his right hand.‘Sure, but why?’, Caleb’s big mouth wanted to know everything as always.‘Just do it’, with that, he cut off the mind link. Caleb was the Alpha of Ice warrior pack and could easily keep the royal healers there for a couple of weeks. It was wrong to do this, but he wanted more time with Jo. Just the thought of parting and sending her off to the human settlements made him feel sick. As he opened the first case file, he took a deep breath in. It was time to get to work*Lucy yawned as she stretched her hands, the birds were chirping outside, and the sunrise was falling shyly in her room. It was a good-sized room considering that she was not really a special guest for the royal kingdom.

Chapter 22- Child's play
Disclaimer: The spelling errors in some of Evelyn’s part are intentional as she is meant to have some speech difficulties. ‘Look at this Tulip, it has a different smell to it’, Daya handed a small brightly pink coloured flower to Lucy.‘Yes, it does’, Lucy tried concentrating on the smell, it was mild but citrus-like. But the smell was soon overpowered by something else. An irresistible scent of ocean waves with splash of orange bergamot flooded the air. As Lucy closed her eyes and got lost in the scent, she did not realise she was too far gone before Daya had to rattle her. ‘Come back Lucy’, she hastily said. As Lucy opened her eyes, Caleb stood before her, smiling sheepishly. ‘Good morning, ladies’. ‘Hey’, was all she replied as she pretended to study the flower really closely.‘Can I speak to you alone Lucy?’, he asked, scratching his hair with his right hand nervously.‘I need to go and check on Mina. Make sure her snoring isn’t getting too loud’, Daya excused herself as Lucy

Chapter 23- Strong
In the dark realm‘My king, you called for me’, Belial appeared in dark clouds. He was the demon king’s right hand.Belial could make the un-death dance on his fingertips if he wanted to, his powers second only to King Victor.‘Follow the Aamons at the no-man’s border. We are so close to finding Jolene, I can feel it. Make sure there are no loose ends Belial’, the king commanded from his dark throne, his chin rested on his right hand. Belial simply nodded, in consensus of his king’s order and vanished in thin air. ‘There is no escape this time, my little siren’, the king mumbled, only for him to hear.*‘Evelyn! Did you spill tea on someone again? Olivia will not be happy about it’, the same elderly maid from earlier disrupted Jo’s train of thoughts. Jo was curious now. She had heard about Olivia three times already, who was she?‘It was a mistake, Lidija. Soweyy’, Evelyn apologised, her head down.The old maid only frowned more. ‘Who is Olivia?’, Jo finally asked making the old l

Chapter 24- High tea
Bewildered by the sudden declaration, Jo took a few steps back. She could feel herself palpitate as her body released an extra gush of adrenaline. Queen? She pondered to herself. ‘You are married to Dante?’, Jo heard herself speak, her body no longer under her control. Oliva’s pretty honey-coloured eyes gazed at her oddly, her lips lop siding for a fraction of second. ‘I am. You must be very close to my husband to call him by his first name’, a hint of challenge was present in the queen’s voice.‘I- I met the Alpha King under extraordinary circumstances. Please pardon my rude manners, my queen’, Jo curtsied before her and kept her head down. Finally.‘Rise Jolene’, Oliva commanded as she observed the girl closely. She was not cowering in her presence like other werewolves did. She had Alpha’s blood in her after all. ‘You are very well spoken. I have been meaning to change the entrance rules for a while now. Susan, remove the endurance point requirement for the warrior training from

Chapter 25- Honour Thy Vows
The encounter with Olivia left a bitter test in her mouth. Jo was finally back to her room after a long hard day. Olivia paraded her with the noble ladies around the mansion to lunch, dinner and all the other discussions all day long. She was not even sure why she was being included and so suddenly? Jo learnt that most of the noble women had high ranked husbands in the royal kingdom. Except for Veronica, the short, bobbed hair who was a widow. It was a tradition in the royal kingdom that widows were supposed to keep their hair short as an honour to their dead mate. Jo wondered why she never remarried, especially by the type of glances she was throwing at Don earlier at the canopy. Jo heaved heavily as she sat on the bed thinking about her day. It tired her easily. She had asked for her novel back from Daya. Right now, the girls were taking turns on reading each chapter and today was her turn. Yay!As she opened the book, she read through all the chapters to catch up including the sp

Chapter 26- Promises are meant to be broken
Dante summoned his sand element and made cuffs out of it. Using his wind element next, he cuffed his legs to a huge pillar. Being an Alpha king meant he had all four elemental powers: Ice, fire, sand and wind. Sometimes it was a blessing to possess great powers but sometimes it was a curse. It did, however, take a toll even on his body when he summoned the elements too frequently. But tonight, he needed to. ‘Theo, settle down now’, he reached out to his wolf. His wolf completely took over when Dante was momentarily lost in his thoughts. Before he realised, they were already outside Jo’s room. And the king already knew what his wolf was trying to do.No matter how hard he fought, his wolf’s desire to claim their mate was stronger. But the moment Jo reminded that he was married, it made him to regain his body control. She was right. He was married. Theo was still stirring inside his body, unsettled. Taming an Alpha wolf was not a simple task. Theo had only gone out of control like th

Chapter 27- A pleading vision
Disclaimer: Spellings errors in Evelyn’s dialogues are intentional. A Lycan? Lucy traced her memories back to her high school days. They were taught about Lycans back then, so why was her memory clouded?Slowly it dawned on her about the rarity of white wolves. She was so lost, appreciating her wolf’s beauty, that the colour of Emery’s furs completely missed her. Only the past Luna Queen, Sarah had white furs. But that was because she was the daughter of the moon goddess.Lycans were once powerful creatures, more than the werewolves. They commanded the werewolf world centuries ago but over time, their reign deteriorated. And when the moon goddess created the four great descendant brothers gifting them each an elemental power, the Lycans were overpowered easily. Now, Lycans were only found in history textbooks. The last one seen was a male Lycan decades ago, so why did she have a Lycan’s distinctive crescent sign on her forehead? Lucy ran behind a tree and shifted back to her human

Chapter 28- Part I : What are friends for?
Moon goddess? Jo knew who she was. Moon goddess was the creator of the werewolves. She was the one responsible for creating mate bonds in the werewolf world. Jo observed the little princess before her eyes, she knew Evelyn was very young and innocent. It was actually quite normal for young children to have imaginary friends and have such vision. The confused siren tried not to think too much about it. Her thoughts wondered off to the wordings in the letter. Trapped in marriage. Vulnerability. Lonely Alpha King. It was haunting her nonetheless to say. How could a young girl envision such a sad and mature themed poem? Evelyn made Jo keep the letter and was already gone. Jo could see a hint of worry in the princess’s eyes as if she could not stay for too long which was odd given that Evelyn liked spending time with her. Or so she assumed. Jo tried to look outside but the blinds were closed. She knew staying in bed and being sad over her mate was not going to really change anything.

Chapter 29- Part II What are friends for?
Belial. Darkness gathered in Jo's eyes and filled it. She quivered thinking about his name. Belial was incredibly powerful from when Jo remembered last. Five years ago, he nearly captured her with his dark powers when she slipped through his fingers, by chance. She had hoped the Demon king would have moved on but clearly not. He had sent out his right hand again. Was it to capture her or for something else? The moment she caught the scent of the ominous scent, she knew Belial was back walking on the earth and not in hell, where he truly belonged. The scent was faint but definitely there. Was Belial at the no-man's border? Because the demon's world was connected to this world through a portal. Same went for the fairy kingdom and some of the other mythical creatures. The only supernatural beings that resided on earth were werewolves and vampires. Jo’s hand instinctively touched her face. The demon king tried to mark her once, against her will. She defended herself at that time but
