ALDRIC"I won't think about complicated things that won't lead me down a good path. I'll choose to believe Valeria confused the spell with her heat.Because yes, even if her inner she-wolf is absent, this Omega is undeniably aroused by her heat, which she doesn't even seem to recognize, and it must have been triggered by drinking my blood.She trembles, rubbing against my body.Desire has already surpassed fear, because her small, daring hand is shamelessly stroking my length again, and her hot pussy is grinding back and forth along my shaft, soaking it completely and driving me insane."Ssshhh... Grrr, come on, Valeria, take what you're so desperately begging for...""No more tricks?" she turns her head slightly to ask me in a lustful whisper, her blue eyes clouded and seductive.Goddess, how I love this female you created for me. I've never been this turned on, not even with "her"."No more tricks, baby. I'm all yours, Valeria... Mmmnnn... Sshhh... aah fuck you, you horny woman..."

VALERIANever, not even in my wildest sexual fantasies, did I imagine being taken by a massive beast in such an intense, dark, and damnably hot way.My belly feels swollen and full, my pussy stretched to a painful limit, struggling to accommodate the knot of the gigantic lycan who pants and growls behind me, pushing his manhood so deep it feels like he's impaling me.I'm not afraid.Desire and a twisted pleasure course through my body.I want all of him. I want him to fill me completely with his essence, to take me until I lose my mind.However, when I felt his tongue licking my nape and his canines piercing my skin, I truly felt fear.My brain chilled for a moment.Aldric can't find out! He can't know the odd things that dwell inside me, or he'll reject me.I'm not a fool.Every clue points to me being connected to the Dark Realm.I don't want to lose him. I can't let the man I've fallen in love with hate me again.In the middle of so much overwhelming pleasure, I summon that deep de

ALDRICI agree with Azarot, but that means I’ll have to ask some witch from the Dark Realm to examine her and break the spell.I have so many doubts.Why would someone cast such a curse on Valeria?Could it be connected to that bastard ex of hers, some kind of plot to harm her?Many werewolves buy curses and spells like the sexual slave enchantment.They all come from the underworld, the black market.No matter how hard I try to shut it down, they keep buying those dangerous tricks from the Dark Realm in secret."I'm going to heal you, love, no matter what it takes. I’ll rid you of that damn contaminated magic inside you. You can’t have anything to do with the Dark Realm. I want you far away from danger."I press her against my skin, kissing her temple while listening to her soft breathing, gently caressing her entire body.I won't lose you too, Valeria.Those creatures of darkness won't take you from my side."When will you tell her we’re mates? She doesn’t seem to feel it without he

VALERIAI fell asleep a little longer.However, even though the King told me to rest all day, I'm not the type to spend so many hours in bed.I walked to the bathroom to wash up, feeling the ache in my sore muscles from all the physical activity.My thighs were sensitive, and my intimate parts—well, even more so.Yet, I found myself smiling foolishly in front of the mirror, blushing and satisfied as I traced my fingers over the scars on my face and my swollen lips.I wasn't sure if it was just my imagination, but they seemed less marked, less ugly. It had to be his delicious blood, the one I couldn't get enough of.I felt sexy and desired, noticing how the marks of his hands were already fading from my skin.That lycan made me feel alive, like the most beautiful woman in the world.I got dressed and decided to visit little Edward and head down to find Celine, the Guardian Quinn's sister.The whole note incident wasn't very smart, so even if we don't get along, I have no choice but to

DARIUS (VAMPIRE KING'S GENERAL)"The time has come," I tell my men, seated in the old crypt that serves as our refuge outside the borders of Silver Lake.I don't dare get too close to that pack with the Lycan King prowling and more alert than ever.However, the strategy of using the Alpha's family has continued to work for me.With some adjustments, there was always a useful pawn—a weak, defenseless one I could use as a spy and to manipulate the soft heart of that maiden."Thane, prepare everything for the transfer spell. We need to complete the operation quickly before the Lycan King can react. Set the shadow portals for my men," I order the sorcerer traveling with us.The most powerful vampires can conjure some elemental magic, but for stronger spells, we need the help of a dark warlock."Sir, that small body won't withstand much if I transfer more of your power into it," he warns."I just need it to last long enough. You're not here to give suggestions—transfer more of my power whe

VALERIAI immediately moved to the side, watching the ground creak open like an old, rusty machine.In the depths of the earth, a dark passage revealed itself, descending through ancient stairs to what seemed like a basement beneath the greenhouse."What was that noise, Miss Valeria? Are you alright?" Edward's voice reached me, and I leaned out to see him right where I had left him, sitting in his wheelchair with a worried expression."Yes, I'm fine. It was a stuck window I tried to open, and it made that sound. Stay there, don't worry," I lied, as I no longer fully trusted anyone.He couldn't climb the stairs alone, let alone descend into this narrow space."Celine, I think I've found the right place for the Altar to the Goddess. I'm going down to read it, watch my back up here. I left Edward inside the greenhouse—keep an eye on him.""Valeria, I don't like this at all. I'm calling my brother to come over. I think it's better to wait...""Your brother will come with Aldric. How will

VALERIAHe screams at me, and it's terrifying to see Edward's distorted features twisted into cruel, adult expressions.I reach into my neckline and pull out the star, its sharp tips stained red with my blood.He extends his small hand and steps closer. I stretch mine too, trembling.Something screams inside me that he must not have it, that I've already revealed too much.My mind races frantically, trying not to look behind him so I don't give away Celine, who is slowly approaching. I tighten my grip on the relic, the metal shimmering like moonlight.Just before it falls into his grasp, he tenses and suddenly spins around to face the ambush from the Alpha.Dark shadows project from the boy’s small body as he now battles Celine."So, you managed to defeat my sentinel. You're quite a girl full of secrets... I wonder what Aldric Throne would say about this," he mocks.I watch in horror as sharp claws grow from Edward's hands, his speed almost impossible to track with the naked eye, and

CELINEI thought my time had come to die—I honestly never imagined it would end like this.An agonizing pain tore through my wolf's back, forcing me to shift immediately into my hybrid form, with some vampire traits, hissing menacingly from a corner, surrounded by cruel enemies.I pressed my hand against the deep wound that pierced me from my back to my stomach, enduring as best I could, but I wouldn't survive if they attacked again.Suddenly, a blood-chilling roar echoed, reverberating through the ancient walls.Just like me, everyone turned in unison to witness something unbelievable.Valeria was rising from her dark corner, the rigid body of that child lying lifeless on the ground as she advanced, step by step, hissing like a predatory beast about to strike."S-Sir... what is that?""It's just a mangy bitch trying to intimidate us! Stop playing hero, or I'll kill this woman worse than I did the brat!" the vampire in charge shouted, but I could feel the fear thickening the air."Aaa

THANE (The sorcerer who accompanied Darius, the Vampire General)I had never made such a precise decision in my life.I never liked Darius' extreme methods, but I could only follow his orders.He was the one in charge, so I forced even more of his life force into that pup's already weakened body, fully aware that he wouldn’t survive such an aggressive invasion.I heard the entire translation of the Altar from the lips of that strange woman because my magic acted as the mediator within the boy's body.When the fighting began, I stayed in the crypt to maintain the portal spell, the one through which General Darius's men had entered to fight.Everything went to shit in a heartbeat.Even though I wasn’t physically present, I still trembled in fear, watching everything through my shadow magic.My mind was racing—The General was dead, and no one had survived.Who the hell was that woman?I didn’t know exactly, but I quickly understood one thing—the Vampire King would be very interested in k

ALDRICI stare into the panicked eyes of this Alpha.I've never particularly liked her, but her brother is a valuable member of the Guardians, and now, the only one who can read those Altars."Why were you carrying Valeria as if you were running away? I know you heard my lycan's roar—why the hell didn't you wait for me and instead put her in danger again?"I tighten my grip around her throat, anger boiling inside me as the memory flashes back—seeing them being dragged by the current when I reached the drainage outlet.I hadn’t even thought before jumping in after my mate."S-Sir... I-I was injured from the fight... I was scared more of those dark holes in the walls would open again... that more enemies would come and kill us before you arrived... I acted on impulse... I panicked and jumped without thinking..."Her voice stammers, and I lean in closer, watching her trembling, erratic eyes.When I arrived, I clearly saw the shadow of a man escaping through that same wall opening she men
