Skyler has fallen asleep but wakes up when Delilah stumbles in. She doesn't even notice that Skyler has dressed to prove that he is drunk because as soon as she approaches the bed, she falls on the bed, fully dressed, and curls up in a ball.Skyler's wolf chuckles in his head.“You preferred to be cold, so she would think you were drunk, and she was the one who drank too much.”“When she wakes up, she will have a hangover.”The wolf laughs again."Do you know something? I think I'll wait for everyone to fall asleep, and I'll do what I have to do.”“What are you talking about?” – the wolf asks.“I have a bottle for Julius. I can't give it to him and say, "Look, drink this and pretend to be dead". It won't work like that. I have to do this differently.”"What are you going to do?"“I'm going to wait until everyone is asleep, and I'm going to hide the bottle somewhere he won't even find it before he has to.” Aethelwulf was becoming very suspicious. He did not feel that the queen was suf
Vlad sits under a tree like he used to when Romeo was a toddler. He used to watch him running around happily. Now that he was alone, the place was too quiet. Lost in his thoughts, Vlad closes his eyes to rest and falls into a deep sleep.The dreams soon tormented him, and he woke up scared. When he looks around and sees that he is in the garden, he sighs with relief.- I had my whole life ahead of me, my father. I had a son I loved with all my strength and a life companion. Without money and comfort, in a small hut, I was happy. I had never been as happy as in the months I lived there, but you came to destroy everything. Because of our parents, we, the children, died too soon. Why do you continue to accuse others of your guilt? You can't accept that I was happy with Airon. You didn't want me as an heir or think I was worthy because I was half-human, but you didn't want my happiness. It was never because he was a werewolf. It was always because he was the same gender as me. Do you know
The queen stroked Vlad's back, trying to calm him down. The situation would be ridiculous if it weren't so dramatic. Vlad, the thousand-year-old king of vampires, was crying in the lap of the queen of werewolves, who had barely turned 40 and an enemy. When Vlad calms down and moves away from the woman's body, he looks into her eyes, expecting to see something unpleasant. He expected pity, disdain, or even contempt. What he didn't expect was understanding and solidarity. - Are you calmer? – he asks in a whisper. Vlad leans against the tree again and sighs deeply. - Yes, I am, thank you. It was a terrible dream. - I'm not going to say anything, don't worry. - However, this sentence already says a lot. Speak, woman; supporting me gives you freedom of speech. - As if I spoke differently. – she responds with a smile. – In my opinion, you and my mate are not significantly different. You two couldn't be more alike if you were family. Vlad narrows his eyes.- Is this a new way of offe
Julius looks at Romeo sleeping. Fatigue and sex had left both him and the baby in a deep sleep. He smiles and can't resist running his hand gently over Romeo's hair.He had never imagined that he could love someone with that intensity or that he would be a father so soon.With a sigh of pleasure, he gets up, grabs the coat that now connects him to the MC and his helmet, and goes down the stairs. It was a little idiotic to ride the motorcycle in the pack land, but it was what he could do to ride the bike he loved and had been given to him by the most important person in his life.He leaves the packhouse and goes to where he left the motorcycle, but he closes his eyes as soon as he gets there.One of his characteristics was knowing the exact place and position where he left something, and something was off the way he found the bike. Most of the time, he didn't care, but it was the bike.- Hello! Why do you have the wheel facing the other way? - Julius says to the bike.- Talking to your
As she had sat with Reed, Alma was sitting in the garden on the same bench and at the same time. Whoever passed by looked at her with pity; they all saw the pain mirrored in the young woman's eyes.When Ayla discovered what she had done, she became furious but quickly calmed down. Alma was very intelligent despite her young age. If she had decided to let Reed go, it was because, for some reason, she knew it was the right decision.However, it hurt. His wolf would survive the separation because the witch in her saved her from that fate. However, Reed's wolf would not be so lucky.“Did Reed wait for you to open the portal to bring him back? Did he think you abandoned him?”"I don't know. I feel like he knew this was going to happen. Our farewell was with the knowledge that we would never see each other again. I'm almost sure of that.”“Why don’t you look for a solution in books? Do you even plan to try?”“Even if I find a solution, it will be too late. His wolf will die soon, and I don'
Aethelwulf didn't want to stay in the office or his room. His head spun from Julius to his mate and from his mate to the apparition in the middle of the forest. Trying to appear as calm as possible, he leaves the office and goes to look for the only place he can remember, where no one would find him and where he could hide, cry, and even scream.In turn, as the scheduled time approached, the beta was in the improvised communication room, waiting for Julius's call. The phone rings, and when he sees that it is an anonymous number, he answers it suspiciously. “Beta, it’s Reed.” - Reed, I'm glad you called. I need to talk to you about Julius. “Don’t tell me he didn’t do what I asked. Is he on his way?” - No, no, at least for now. But he wants your contact information. He says he needs to talk to you urgently, or he'll go there. Reed sighs on the other side. Something had told him he should call Darius that day, and that was one reason. “It's no problem if it keeps him where he is.
Julius looks at his lover and best friend, and they come into view.“Sit down. This false polar scenario is of no interest to our conversation. Use it for others, not for me.”“What the fuck!” – Julius's wolf says.Julius pulls out a chair while Shane gets one for himself and one for Romeo.The image was ridiculous. In a jumping scenario, the 3 of them sit on chairs.“A human friend was kidnapped by Orpheus. I think he thought I was Julius when he made me a target. Since he couldn't get anything from me, he decided that I had to die, but first I would have to watch him kill the human. Making the story short, we fought, and I would have died if Lycaon hadn't appeared to save me. The goddess made him live so many years so that he could save my life by giving his life in exchange for my.”- Is Lycaon dead?“No, his daughter is a high priestess of a white coven. She cast a spell and, contrary to the Goddess' wishes, she kept him alive.”- Daughter?“Another day, at a better time, I’ll tel
With his eyes closed, Aethelwulf remained frozen in time. His thoughts and vision were the only things that worked, and even the hands of the large clock over the bedroom door didn't move.“Moon Goddess, what’s going on?”Coming from the same light where the child came before, a beautiful woman silently approaches the king. He doesn't see her because his eyes are closed so as not to see the same horror again.- My poor son. So tired, so hurt, so lost and confused.When the King opens his eyes and looks at the woman's beautiful features, he immediately knows who is in front of him. He lowers his eyes, as his head won't move from the same place. A mere mortal, much less a mortal like him, was not worthy of looking the Goddess in the eyes.- I know you don't understand what's happening, but I'll try to make you understand. That child you saw die over and over again is the beloved son of Airon and Lysander. A beautiful child blessed by me, too young to understand the way he died. He died
