Thirty-oneZaccheus stared at his sleeping mate, who snuggled close to him in pure adoration as he caressed her face, and she shivered. He chuckled lightly when he saw her face scrunched up when he removed his hand.He felt content for the first time in his life; even the blood of his enemies never gave him the contentment he needed. She was his home.His beasts were quiet, not talking or rambling. They too were feeling happy and overzealous.A blessing she is, he thought.A blessing he could remember his mother telling him about.He couldn't forget the mischief twinkled in her big doe eyes when she was teasing him earlier. He felt a rush of electricity going to his groin when she unconsciously rubbed her leg on him, and he groaned out."Not again," he murmured, adjusting her softly on his chest.He watched as his mate fell limp on his arms due to the vigorous exercise; he washed her body from the residue and put on his shirt on her.His lips curled into a beautiful smile when he saw

Thirty-three "Do you find any trail or scent?" Zeccheus could hear Alec asking the trembling guards, but his mind wasn't with them.He hoped they found the oracle so she could light up everything happening. He rubbed his temple tiredly. Oracle travelled around the world and didn't have a particular destination. It was always so hard to find her. "No, sire Knight, everything vanishes in thin air. No traces or scents," one of them, who was bold enough, responded with a shaky voice while Alec hummed in understanding, dismissing them."What do you think?" Zaccheus asked, staring at the wise man even though a wise man can become a fool when everything is mixed up. "I'm not sure," Alex thoughtfully caressed his beard, "has Zatico found her?""No, he didn't. She is hiding. None of her scents was picked." he responded, feeling a change in his emotions which he knew wasn't his. Sadness. What could have happened at home?If anything made his mate cry, he would have pleasure in killing them,

Chapter 35Zaccheus couldn't get enough of his mate, from her big, doe brown eyes to her milky leg. He came out of the bathroom, holding a wet cloth to clean his mate's body. He knew he had worn her out, and he was very proud of that."I love you," he heard his mate's mind linking him, snuggled to the duvet while he smiled as he wanted to reply. He felt someone's presence, tugging his mind to talk."Talk!" he growled."I think you need to see this," he heard Alec say while he furrowed his brows in confusion at what he had seen to make him link him when he had warned them not to.There was a pause at the other side before Alec continued, "We saw traces of black magic at the western side of the territory with some humans blood," Zaccheus snarled and growled softly; the black witches never learn as he felt his beasts rise which made his eyes to be golden before settling on the normal blue.He looked at his worried mate on the bed, who looked like a temptress, and shut her apologetic smil

Chapter 37"Wait!" Nadazhda stood by the door, wetting her dry lips slowly, staring at her mate's blue orbs, which gold flickered in his orbs, representing his beasts, "I don't want anyone to stare at what's mine," she claimed her possession and scrunched her nose irritatedly at people who were going to swoon at his beauty, going to the table to bring a veil."psst, possessive much?" Zeke rolled his eyes dramatically, puffing his cheeks."Yeah, I keep what's mine," she smirked slyly, standing on her toes to reach Zaccheus's face. When Zaccheus noticed that, he cranked his head down for her while she hummed apprehensively."And less I forget, tell the people to evacuate from the castle before they can see a glimpse of you," she ordered sternly."Okay," he responded without missing a bit."Everyone go home and rest for the rest of today," he commanded through the mind link."There's love, ooo," Zeke rolled his eyes playfully while nudging Zaccheaus' side."Our mate is awesome," Ryl whis

Thirty nineShe was running, she didn't know what she was running away from, but the sound of heavy footsteps following her trail made her understand that something was following her and she needed to run harder than before. She was running through the thick forest in circles because she knew she'd passed this marked tree before when she ran past it. The trees were taunting her as the tree branches pulled and hit her.She stopped beside a tree, trying to catch her breath, rested her hand on the rough bark of a tree, and saw the tree had opened itself, and her hand was entering the extended space; she screamed in frighten, removing her hand quickly, moving back only to hit her back on another rough tree which squeezed her in as panic rose in my, adrenaline produced, she struggled to get out, but everything was in vail. One of the tree branches stretched and removed her from being suffocated by the tree, then threw her tired body onto another tree. The rustled sound of the leaves was he
