knock!! knock!!"Who is it?". Maxwell answered. "Physician Maxwell, you have been summoned to the palace to check on His Majesty". The guard said." I almost forgot_". Maxwell muttered before replying to the guard, " Alright I will head there immediately". The guard left and an idea popped up in my head."I have a plan". I said."Do tell your Highness". Maxwell replied as he put on his Physician uniform."You have tons of artifacts right? Then you must have something that can change one's appearance, I will go to the palace with you as your assistant!", I explained."That is way too dangerous!". Mom immediately refused this idea."That is the only option we have, for two days I will need to stay with him to protect him so that you will be able to make the antidote". I faced Maxwell."Yes, your Highness". Maxwell replied before turning to Mom."Let me send you back Highness". He brought out the mirror and opened up a portal."Natalie, it's best you go with Mom". I turned to Natalie."

I went silent for a while and he said, "I would love to take your silence as a yes again...but then again it is not possible ". He then proceeded to sleep.I gritted my teeth and said, "You have not answered my question "."Hold on_ You are serious about this!". Maxwell said in shock and sat down."I want to awaken my wolf, Maxwell, tell me how". I said almost like I was pleading."You how hard we tried to activate just one side of your blood then, I have no idea how to awaken the wolf of a hybrid like you... But the old friend I told you about at Blood Moon pack, I'm sure she will be able to help you". Maxwell said and I sighed."Do you have a mate?", I asked him."No... I have not found her yet, but then again how can I find her when I'm in this empire filled with filthy vampires". Maxwell said and I could feel the pure disgust in his voice."Then what does it feel like to meet your mate?", I asked.Maxwell chuckled nervously before saying, "I don't have a mate I have not experience

I couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration for my little goddess. Despite the challenges she faced, she remained strong and determined, earning the respect of those around her through her courage and skill. I couldn't wait to see her and let her know how much I admired and missed her.We continued our journey towards the North Wing, the anticipation building with each step.Finally, we arrived at the entrance to the North Wing and I noticed the subtle change in the environment, the air got thicker making it hard to breathe, if I had not put on this disguise I could have passed through it easily but now I'm just a weak vampire.Maxwell brought out a yellow stone from his bag and the thick air dispersed revealing a different world. We were welcomed by a woman with kind eyes and a warm smile. She bowed respectfully to Maxwell before addressing him."Welcome, Rinn Maxwell. The great witch Agatha is expecting you. Please come in." She then led us to a cottage.Maxwell nodded and steppe

"Now I see why my Mother loathes you_". I said and took in deep breaths. I finally understand why Mom despise the idea of me always coming here... But isn't she being too inconsiderate?Aunt Agatha lowered her head as she cried silently. I held her hands tighter and said, "I don't agree with her though, you don't deserve all this! The blame, the hatred... You don't deserve it, you did all you could to save your friend and her child, no one should be condemned for that no matter what! Thank you for saving me...". My voice softened as I tried so hard to restrain myself from bawling out in front of everyone, I have an image to maintain.Aunt Agatha raised her head and I caught a glimpse of the mix of emotions swirling in her silver orbs, shock, surprise, confusion, happiness and finally regret.I gently raised my hands and dabbed her teary face with my sleeves, "You have carried that burden alone for good seventeen years... It must be horrendous". Before I knew it she embraced me tight

Gently, I scooped Selene up into my arms, her slight frame feeling fragile against my chest. With careful steps, I carried her to a nearby tree, its sturdy branches offering a haven for her rest. Cradling her in my embrace, I settled beneath the tree's comforting shade, her head resting against my shoulder.As Selene slept peacefully, I couldn't help but admire her delicate features, softened in slumber. A strand of hair had fallen across her face, and I tenderly brushed it aside, my touch light and reverent. The gentle breeze whispered through the leaves above us, a soothing melody to accompany our tranquil moment.Leaning back against the tree trunk, I held her close, feeling the steady rhythm of her breath against my chest. The weight of her trust settled over me like a warm blanket, reassuring me of our bond and the depth of our connection.In the quiet of the forest, I allowed myself to simply be present with Selene, relishing the intimacy of our shared solitude. Time seemed to s
