MORDAXKitana and I arrived at the royal palace prison. A big bellied man guided us inside after the massive gate was opened."Stay close. These are dangerous people," he warned as we walked deeper inside. Various creatures of prisoners glared at us.Normally, I would tease them. As I'm accustomed to challenging stronger creatures, it excites me when they boast about their power, only to be defeated by me in the end.But today, I wasn't in the mood. I feared what Kitana had witnessed concerning Caesar. Deep down, I wished she had been mistaken. I hoped that everything she had seen in her vision three days ago was incorrect.It would deeply wound Caesar. Esmeray had managed to bring a smile to the face of the ruthless Caesar after all these years. She was his source of joy. If anything unfortunate were to happen to her, I knew the pain would be too much for Caesar to bear."We are almost there," the big bellied man stated. Kitana walked in front of me, silent.She had been quiet since

KITANA"Why the fuck did you do that?!" Mordax's voice echoes in my ears.We were still inside the royal prison when he yelled at me for revealing my visions to Caesar."Answer me, Kitana!" His eyes burned with rage as he closed the distance between us, and I gasped, fearing he might lose control. Tears were still streaming down my cheeks, and more started falling as I recalled that Caesar and I shared a similar past."Mordax," I said in between sobs, looking up at him with grief in my eyes. "Do you have any idea how it feels to lose your family? Someone you loved so dearly, and you couldn't do a goddamn thing to help them or change the situation?"His hands were resting on his waist while he continued to glare at me with a sharp gaze, but I continued nonetheless."I... I lost my family when our land was invaded by the Lycan king's warriors. So many were killed, including my parents, who did everything they could to make sure my younger brother and I escaped." I stopped and wiped away

ESMERAYThe moon goddess didn't answer my prayer to bring him back with my kiss. I laid my head on his bare chest now and continued to be drenched in my sorrows until a voice uttered out of nowhere."He is dead and no longer your mate. Now you are free." My father's husky voice fell on my ears, and it turned my sadness into anger."Did I ever tell you I wanted to be free?!!" I snapped and raised my gaze to meet his cruel eyes descending on me. "I never wanted to be free! You killed my mate!" My tears flowed freely down my cheeks as I stood up now, not planning on holding anything back anymore."He invaded my palace, killing my warriors and causing havoc. Death was his inevitable sentence.""Because Leon raped me!" I saw his eyes widen as I revealed. "He was after Leon because he raped me! He wanted to get revenge for what he did to your daughter, for goddess' sake!" My voice came out broken.I saw my father's gaze leave my heartbroken face, down to my dead mate, and then back to me. He

KITANAA hopeful smile appeared on my lips when I opened my eyes and saw the softness in his eyes now. Tears of hope flowed down my cheeks, and I even chuckled softly.His red eyes gazed at my face, filled with affection. He didn't say anything, but his expression spoke volumes. My kiss had indeed calmed him down.I offered a silent thank you to the goddess for that."Kitana..." His voice turned soft as he called my name, and then tears began to roll down his eyes as he looked at me.His expression had shifted to a sad one now."My best friend, Caesar, is gone," Mordax said, his voice breaking as tears rolled down his cheeks while he shook his head."I loved that motherfucker so much! We grew up and trained together for many years," he managed to say through his tears. I held his shoulders and nodded, encouraging him to let his emotions out."I know, I know. But I can't lose you too. I can't lose you both on the same day, Mordax," I sobbed, looking into his blurred red eyes.It was ago

ESMERAYSeeing her in this state had already started to affect me, and I didn't realize when tears began to well up in my eyes too."I called his parents at the Blue Rock Pack and informed them about the evil act their son committed against you. I swear to the Goddess, I would have gone ahead with the plan I had in mind to report their pack to the werewolves colony. The Blue Rock Pack would be stripped of their dignity, title. They would be blacklisted, banished, and likely die of self-isolation after that." Mother's words carried weight, and through her eyes, I knew she meant every word she said."Mother... there's no need," I managed to speak once more."Of course, it's necessary, my child. They need to be held accountable, and I don't care if we've been allies for years. Leon should have thought about that before harassing my daughter." My mother's words spoke volumes.She rarely gets angry, but when she does, she becomes a fierce Luna, willing to go to any lengths to protect those
