"Relationship?" Javier, who had not expected such a question, was completely taken aback.Michelle nodded. "Okay. You are my mate, and I am your mate. Of course I would want to be with you, it's only natural."Michelle giggled, looking away from him. "You sure have your own way with words.""Oh?" Javier asked with a blink.Suddenly, he felt his phone vibrate and slowly removed it from his pocket to see a message from Lorenzo?(I just found out some shocking news. It's not something to say over a text or calls.)(Is it urgent?)Lorenzo: (Extremely! Why would you even ask that? I can't build up the courage to tell Caspian and Justice...I can't tell him because he might also feel the same as I am now.)Javier sighed frustratedly. (Fine. Where should we meet?)Lorenzo: (The field of the stables.)"I wonder what news he has?" Javier muttered.Michelle stared at Javier with full curiosity. He looked like he wanted to leave immediately he said those words. She felt a bit more disappointed th

The imperial capital's westernmost section was populated by terrified citizens under the sway of the soldiers. The majority of them were sobbing, which indicated that they were scared for the safety of their loved ones who weren't with them and may have been in the area where the main chaos was occurring.Javier was driving down the road, oblivious to the frantic wolf shifters who were all being stopped by warriors as dark magic flooded the air and somewhat distracted him. After they had finished their supper on the field at her own request, Javier had driven Michelle back to Heart Restaurant.Though she didn't speak or bring up any subjects while they were eating, he could sense that she was quite inquisitive about him. His unique problem was that he was at a loss for words. He couldn't stop thinking about the Grimoire. He knew it was bad news just by looking at it. When reports of mages attacking reached his ears, his instincts proved to be dead on.He took a big breath as if that we

When Caspian and Justice arrived back at the castle with Roman, they discovered that practically all of the guards and healers had been found dead.Ramona was supposed to be sleeping when Caspian barged in, so he was shocked to see how empty the room was for her. He clenched his teeth and scowled deeply, knowing that she wasn't in the castle because he couldn't even smell her."Cas! There is news that Ludovica and Francesco have passed away." Javier entered the space hastily and reported feeling panicked.Caspian gritted his teeth. His mate was missing, and two of his closest friends had passed away."They um... Have a child." Justice added more slowly as he was also affected by the sudden deaths.Caspian sighed. "Take care of everything, I'll find Ramona." And he walked past Justice, rushing out of the castle but Justice ran after him."Angelo and Lorenzo are taking care of everything. Let me come with you!" Caspian didn't care, all he wanted was to find Ramona. He was extremely worr

When made his way back to the dungeon to see his uncle, he scowled a little and leaned back against the wall, waiting for Gwydion to emerge from the darkness behind the bars."You're here?" Gwydion called out."Why do you sound surprised?" Caspian asked drily."Because I anticipate you being involved in my father's hunt. The role of royal elder is one that I do not wish to assume." Gwydion grumbled coming out of the shadows, gripping the bars. "Go look for him. I wish to avoid hearing any unfavorable information about him." "Why do you talk as if he's about to die? And Why are you unaware of his location?" Caspian inquired dubiously, his eyes glinting.Gwydion grinned teasingly as he stared. "It seems like you are in grief. An emotional roller coaster, how pathetic." "You are good at predicting deaths aren't you?" Caspian leaned slightly away from the wall and inquired, his scowl increasing."I am, but just because I am, doesn't mean I'm going to tell you. This broken world has rules

Caspian quickly gained his composure, grabbed Declan's neck, and pinned him to the wall without warning. "What do you think you are saying?!"Declan choked out, grabbing Caspian's hand and pulling his grip away. "Do you expect to remain bonded with you and leave her responsibilities?! She's the out seer! Just because she's your mate doesn't mean that she had to abandon us!"Caspian's eyes twitched but then he growled and grabbed Declan's neck once again. "She belongs to me!""Let go of me!" Declan growled, struggling to take Caspian's hand off his neck. "It doesn't matter if she's your mate! It doesn't matter if she was taken away from us and manipulated to have a goal to kill you! Nothing changes the fact that she is our seer! She belongs to...""Enough!" Ramona yelled out in fury.The Alpha king and the dragon lord snapped their gazes at her to see how furious she looked.Ramona placed her hand on her chest, breathing hard due to the mixture of her anger and Caspian rage in her emoti
