135. I SURRENDER TO YOU
VALERIA"No, no, please don’t kneel," I stop her just as she’s about to kneel before me."I will speak to everyone. I was the wife of the former village chief—they listen to my opinion.""I’ll also speak on your behalf, don’t worry," the guide chimes in with a smile, the same man I gave a few coins to when we arrived, so he could lead me to the deceiving witch’s house.I thank them, and although this small village may seem insignificant, it’s the first step toward changing the hearts of the people in this Realm.My mother was my mother—a powerful Queen, strict but fair. I am me, a stranger who fell out of nowhere and now has to fix all the mess that traitorous Vampire King left behind."Come, let’s run. You need to free yourself from all these worries. I want some time alone with my wife," my mate’s deep voice caresses my ear as he intertwines his fingers with mine and leads me to an unknown place.I follow him without hesitation, through the dirty, narrow alleys, weaving through the
136. DO YOU LIKE IT?
VALERIA“Aldric,” I gently caressed his forehead, my hand trembling with emotion as he leaned forward and softly kissed my belly, where our little one was growing strong and tenacious.“I’ll ask my mother about the Selenia bonding ritual. Let’s do it, my mate. I want you to mark me forever—my heart has been yours from the very beginning.”He nodded, and his overwhelming joy reached me.I smiled and stepped barefoot onto the ground, enjoying the soft grass between my toes, feeling like I had the best company in the entire world.We hid our clothes in the hollow of a tree, and I took off running through the forest, laughing like a little girl.My body shifted, my human legs transforming into four swift paws, dark fur sprouting from my skin.The little Omega wolf fled playfully from the enormous Alpha chasing her through the ancient forest, heading towards the sound of the ocean waves.On the horizon, the orange rays of the sun signaled the approaching night.We soon arrived at a small,
137. IN HOSTILE TERRITORY
ALDRICAldric, our mate... she's so beautiful! She's always been stunning in my eyes, but now... wait, no, no, no! Every male is going to be looking at her—she draws too much attention!"Guys, I'm really getting a little nervous here. Please, say something," Valeria says hesitantly, taking small steps with her hands clasped in front of her.The skin on her cheeks and forehead looks healthy and rosy, those scars have disappeared, revealing to everyone the breathtaking beauty of my wife.A bittersweet feeling swells in my heart.Of course, I want her to be healthy, to regain her confidence, to walk without people whispering behind her back. I want her to feel good about herself.But at the same time, it’s as if a treasure that only I had discovered is now on display for the entire world to see."Azarot, snap out of it, you fool! You’re standing there with your mouth hanging open! Let’s shift back; I need to tell our mate that she’s always been the most beautiful to us.""Aldric, tell he
138. CAPTURED
CELINEI slipped into the dining hall and sat in a discreet corner, pulling down my hood under the cover of darkness and ordering my meal—I was starving.Around me, the loud chatter of drunken men filled the room, laughter booming as barmaids with their breasts nearly spilling out served drinks, getting groped left and right.I didn't like this place. I’d spend the night and leave at dawn."Hey, they say the Lycan King is on the move. His men are advancing through the southern border...""You think we’ll be ruled by Aldric Thorne now?""I doubt it. The sorcerers need to beat the vampires to take control of the castle. Whoever controls the castle controls the Realm...""But what about the curse? It activated after the Vampire King died, and now no one can enter the palace..."Bits and pieces of conversation floated around me, fragments of information I had been collecting.I couldn’t care less about the internal struggle for power in this Realm, but I was heading south to meet Beof.Th
139. OLD KNOWN
CELINEI didn't even think twice before forcing the shift, but surprise, surprise—I couldn't summon my Alpha wolf."Mía! What the hell are you doing?!""It’s the whip! It must be enchanted, Aaaggg! I CAN’T SHIFT!"My wolf roared inside me. I kicked wildly in every direction, struggling on the ground to get up, but the blows, kicks, and punches rained down on my body."You filthy vampire bitch, you asked for it the hard way!""Rip her clothes off—I'm going to enjoy breaking her!""Aagagrr, Aahahh!" My claws dug into anyone who dared to lean down to strip me, but soon my wrists were pinned above my head, my legs pried apart.My face snapped to the side with a brutal slap that nearly knocked me unconscious.I bit my tongue, swallowing more blood as a kick landed hard against my ribs and stomach.The whip wrapped around my thigh like a venomous snake, tightening more and more.But I would resist until death—I wouldn't end up like my mother. I wouldn’t allow it. I’d rather die first!"Mía,
140. THE OWNER OF THE CASTLE
NARRATORLifting her skirt, she nearly ran to her father's carriage."Tell me, tell me, daughter, did you confirm it?" The old man, with his long beard streaked with brown and gray, looked at his daughter with piercing green eyes as she entered his resting quarters.Laila closed the small door behind her and sat on the soft blanket, her face filled with excitement."Yes, yes, father! I confirmed it! She has a small red tattoo on her inner thigh, almost reaching her intimate area—a teardrop shape, or something like that," Laila recalled from when she examined Celine under the guise of tending to her wounds."I knew it! The Goddess is on our side. Such good fortune," the old sorcerer patted his thigh in satisfaction while taking a drag from his pipe."I've prepared the spell. You must make sure it enters her body—you can't fail!""But father, are you sure it won’t harm her? I feel a little bad about this... she and her brother saved me back then," Laila frowned, doubt creeping back into
141. INTERNAL DISPUTES
GABRIELLE“No, no, sweetheart, you must have absolute control over your magic, not let it come out by instinct,” I explain to Valeria while we practice in the living room.“You can't wait until you're in a desperate situation to react. Try bringing out your raven wings now... no, no... but without the full transformation, just the wings…”We spent quite some time practicing. I was determined to teach her everything I knew, everything I inherited from my mother and her mother before her.“Let’s take a break, don’t wear yourself out too much, and take care of the baby.” We stopped, and soon I felt her pour water into a glass.I thought she was going to drink it, but instead, her warm presence approached me, and the cold glass was pressed against my lips.“Drink, you've been talking too much; your lips look pale.” My soul melts at her care.My greatest fear had always been that she would reject me and reproach me for believing she was abandoned, but my Valeria is too good-hearted.“Mothe
142. I DO WHAT YOU WANTED
GABRIELLEWhen I entered the room, I was prepared for the sweet assaults of my mate.No matter how much my mind resisted, the chemistry of the bond was always present.I opened the door, and immediately, the delicious scent hit my nose—much stronger and muskier.Quinn had been training outside.I imagined him sweating, his bulging muscles exposed under some combat shirt. I had to admit, I was dying to run my eyes over his body.However, the rustling sound of clothes reached my ears. I thought he was getting ready to take a bath, but then his steps didn't head toward the bathroom.“Quinn, what are you doing?” I asked, saying his name the way he liked so much.“I’m going to sleep in another room to let you rest. You don’t need me watching over you so closely anymore,” he replies, and his dry tone makes me tense up.What’s going on? Just this morning, he nearly ravished me with his morning erection when he woke up.“The Healer hasn’t said I’m fully recovered yet, I…” I trail off, realizi
