441. IT'S JUST A BAD REPUTATION
BEOFI wandered through the garden, bored, waiting for that shitty meeting to end—it wouldn’t solve a damn thing.One look at the disgust on that Regent’s face was enough to know we weren’t welcome here.And the main reason King Aldric had sent me wasn’t being fulfilled either.Women still fled from me like I carried some contagious plague—worse here than even among supernatural females.I mean, their elemental men looked like dwarves next to me. Of course they’d run away in fear. I huffed, annoyed, those absurd feelings of self-pity creeping into my chest.Like always, I shoved them down without mercy. So what if I never find my mate? Better that way.It would be the final blow to my pride—to be rejected by my own fated partner."Money is the one thing I have too much of," I muttered bitterly.My wolf, Soul, remained as indifferent as ever—we disagreed on too many things.But I knew there was no other choice. I’d keep paying for sex with she-wolves whenever the need to fuck became un
442. WHO APPOINTED YOU THE ABSOLUTE OWNER?
BEOF"Father, I caught the Duchess of Everhart murdering that elemental girl!" he shouted, pointing to the side, at the unconscious woman lying on the grass.The shocking stain of blood on her clothes, her pale skin—it gave the impression of death. However, I could still hear her breathing. Weak, but there.The elemental soldiers were beginning to march in. I could hear hurried footsteps rushing through the corridors and the garden.We would be surrounded soon.A roar powerful enough to make the stones tremble erupted from that so-called Duke of Everhart as some soldiers moved to restrain him under the leader’s command.Chaos.I stood off to the side, debating whether to keep getting involved or not.From the shouted argument, I pieced together the truth—these two supernatural beings were hiding under the guise of elemental Dukes in this prison of a realm."Everyone, calm down. Lord Regent, it’s not wise to approach him now. He’s a lycan protecting his mate—he’ll tear apart anyone who
443. KEY WITNESS
NARRATOR"Sir, our family has been protecting the Realm for generations!" Baltazar shouted, overcoming his initial fear and replacing it with genuine outrage."My son was only defending a poor elemental girl from this witch’s attack!" He pointed at Katherine but took several steps back at the roar of the powerful lycan guarding the woman."You see?! They are savages, murderers! Who knows how many elemental lives they’ve ended in their duchy? I was deceived! How many elemental men and women have they abused?!""THAT IS A LIE!" Katherine couldn't endure so much falsehood any longer.She pleaded with Elliot to change, but Vorath was stubborn. No one would imprison him while she was in danger."Everyone, calm down, please." Suddenly, amidst the chaos, Sigrid’s soft yet firm voice rang out.Standing beside Silas as his equal, her aura was equally powerful. It was hard not to respect her."Tell me what happened. We will hold a trial here and now, and the guilty will be punished...""But..."
444. ONLY MY FAMILY IS WORTHY
NARRATOR"Mmmnn!" Maxwell screamed as he watched his father’s head roll across the ground.It happened so fast, so mercilessly. Blood still pumped from the severed arteries, painting the grotesque scene red over the grass.A collective gasp of shock filled the air. The elemental girl fainted again from the sheer horror."Silas, I told you to control yourself, love," Sigrid huffed internally."You promised we’d get back to the cabin quickly. Your father is busy with your mother. This was taking too long."She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at her mate’s madness."The entire Regent’s family is now imprisoned and exiled from the palace. They will no longer hold any authority," Silas added, his gaze locked on Maxwell, who was kneeling, choking on his sobs over his father’s lifeless body.Sigrid lifted the restriction on his mouth, but she instantly regretted it."We are descendants of your family! How could you do this to the man who always idolized you?!" Maxwell forgot his fear, co
445. VISION OF THE FUTURE
NARRATORAnd just like that, a casual conversation about why he got rid of his two fanatics."Do you want me to give you a medal for your good deed?" Sigrid didn’t feel the slightest bit of sympathy for their deaths."I want that reward, and you know it very well.""Silas, control yourself and talk to the Dukes," the Selenia shot back, rolling her eyes. He needed to leave her ass alone.She stepped away for a moment to have the bodies removed and to check on the unconscious commoner."I... I don’t know what to say." Katherine was speechless, just like everyone else.What the hell had just happened? The way everything had taken such a drastic turn was unbelievable."First of all, Duke of Everhart, I know very well that you haven’t harmed anyone in this Realm." Silas locked eyes with the beast.Elliot listened from within his lycan form, feeling a strange mix of emotions.From the moment he had watched his greatest captor’s head roll so effortlessly, something inside him shifted. The ma
446. THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SOUND
SIGRIDThe magic of that sorceress intertwined with my own.I watched as her eyes turned completely white. She was in a trance, trembling, mumbling incoherent spells.I wasn’t scared. If anything, I was curious. She was prophesizing something. I could feel it.What was it? Was it about me, about us?Our hands tightened around each other, and I closed my eyes, drawing her vision into my mind.I could feel the hum of our combined powers. Then, I saw it.The place was seared into my memory, a location that held intense emotions for me. A cave.I knew this cave. It was special, sacred almost. It was where I had made love to Silas for the first time, in Electra’s body.Were those caverns still standing?Seeing myself lying on a rustic, makeshift bed on the ground inside that natural shelter, I realized we would return to that hidden place somewhere in this Realm.Everything she saw, I saw too.« "Sigrid, drink my blood!" Silas loomed over me, his body nestled between my open legs, slicing
447. SOMETHING IS WRONG
SIGRIDThe cry of my daughter, my firstborn."Silas," I gasped, my voice shaky, sinking into the soft fur blanket beneath me.I could feel more fluids flowing between my legs, the pain barely subsiding. The air inside the cave was thick with intense scents.A tiny bundle was gently placed on my chest.I opened my eyes and saw her, a wrinkled little thing with platinum-white hair like Silas. She was so small, her skin still red from birth, her tiny mouth trembling in a pout as if she wanted to cry again.Her little nose twitched, recognizing my scent, and that alone seemed to soothe her."It’s our little wolf, Sigrid. She’s so tiny... Is she... is she okay?" Silas looked down at her, his expression filled with concern.Our pups had arrived earlier than expected, which was the only reason I had dared to leave home in the first place.I watched her too, feeling the same worry as a fresh wave of pain crashed through me."Love, I don’t know... I feel like my breasts are full. Should I try
448. I AM NOTHING WITHOUT YOU
SIGRID«Spectral portals were opening along the walls, just like when Silas summoned them from the place he had created for them.Massive hands emerged, whispering excitedly, laughter echoing in frenzied tones.A shiver ran down my spine as I felt the intense surge of dark energy, so overwhelming that even Nyx’s flowers withered under its presence."Silas, stop it!" My voice came out strained as I looked at him again, leaning toward the babies beside me."It’s not me." His head was lowered, eyes locked on the infant in his hands, holding him up to his chest with both arms."The baby... he’s the one summoning my specters. I can’t... I can’t control them. They refuse to return. They’ve been called by a new master." Even he sounded lost.I clutched my daughters against my chest, holding them close as I tried to move toward him.A single moment of distraction, and the entire cave trembled. The ground shook violently, as if the earth itself was splitting apart."Silas!" I screamed, expandi
