Chapter 154 But the vampire in his full form had been waiting. He used his fallen kin as bait, predicting the Alpha would rush to save his Gamma. The moment the Alpha intervened, the vampire launched himself with terrifying speed, his massive wings beating powerfully as he shot forward, claws
Chapter 153 Though Krill’s sacrifice had taken down a powerful vampire, the cost was devastating. The remaining werewolves paused only briefly, their howls of grief echoing across the forest as they felt their link to their Beta severed. Even the Alpha lifted his muzzle to the sky and howled, his
Chapter 152 The vampire cried out as his legs buckled. Before he could recover, Addison sprang up behind him and drove her dagger into the base of his neck. The blade tore through his throat and burst out the front of his Adam’s apple in a spray of blood. He
Chapter 151 After a while, the warriors’ distant murmurs faded into silence. Still, the vampires didn’t move. They remained hidden in the shadows, choosing to wait longer as they studied the patrol pattern. They needed to memorize the rotation schedule to avoid crossing paths with any warriors by accident. Changing
Chapter 150 Confusion weighed heavily on her, and for a long while, she couldn’t sort her thoughts, let alone plan her next move. Her body felt weak, too weak. She knew instinctively that any rash movement would backfire. If she tried to escape now, she’d only get caught again, and
Chapter 149 The reason the Alpha King chose Maxwell as Addison’s fiancé wasn’t just because he was a strong alpha capable of standing by her side and protecting her; it was also because, at present, Maxwell seemed to be the only one who could help her break the curse. His
Chapter 148 Zion let out a long, relieved sigh, tension visibly leaving his shoulders. “But now… I understand why you never acknowledged her. Why the palace never sent for her. She wasn’t the real princess.” Zion’s eyes lowered, guilt flickering across his expression. He made a mistake. He misidentified Claire
Chapter 147 Now that he looked back, Addison had never matched the image of the missing princess, at least not in the way he had remembered her. The Addison of today was quiet, hesitant, and weak… So it had never occurred to him that she could be the princess. But
Chapter 146 Or perhaps it wasn’t that calculated. Maybe someone simply wanted to help her, after all, Claire was a master of manipulation and deception. Either way, they had to find her. Zion needed to interrogate her, especially to uncover why she impersonated the princess, an offense that demanded she
Chapter 145 Dwarves are deceptively strong despite their short stature. It was said a dwarf’s hammer could weigh anywhere from 20 to 50 kilos, yet they wielded them with ease in one hand, forging metal into near-magical creations. Born craftsmen, most dwarves became engineers or blacksmiths. The man before him
Chapter 144 In his silence, Lance questioned everything. Why hadn’t the Moon Goddess given him even a sliver of a chance? Why bless Addison with not one, but three fated mates and none of them was him? Bitterness twisted in his chest, mixing with pain and the hollow ache of
Chapter 143 He had prayed since his youth for Addison to be his. He had hoped, wished, and begged for her to be the one chosen for him. But now, faced with reality, it felt like a cruel twist of fate, a silent, stinging slap from the heavens. “Addison.” Lance’s
Chapter 142 If their bond was truly broken, why did she still feel this pull toward him? Why did the connection feel just as strong, if not stronger, now? Was it possible that the Moon Goddess had given her a second-chance mate… only to throw Zion back into the mix,
Chapter 141 I had imagined the worst when I saw the blood in the dungeon. When I heard she’d been whipped with silver, silver, my mind broke. Addison’s wolf was unresponsive; her body was as weak as a human’s. I didn’t need details to imagine how bad it was. I
Chapter 140 My eyes drank in her beauty, unable to look away, even as confusion clouded her face. She looked lost, bewildered even, clearly unsure of what was happening or why it was happening. But then, I caught it, the flicker of recognition in her gaze as she scanned the
Chapter 139 And now? Now I see it all too late. The weight of it crushes my chest. I can’t even breathe. God, I hate myself for being so blinded by pride, for burying my head in my own damn ass because of bitterness, for needing someone to hate so
Chapter 138 Addison didn’t recognize the man, but something about him struck a chord deep inside her, a flicker of familiarity that she couldn’t quite place. More than that, a stirring sensation began to rise within her, a warmth that started to radiate from deep inside. It was unsettling. She
Chapter 137 But confusion rippled beneath the surface of the awe. ’Wasn’t the princess supposed to have golden hair?’ A thought struck the crowd all at once. Like leaves turning in the wind, heads began to shift, scanning the hall for someone else… someone familiar. And then they found her.
Chapter 136 At the announcement, a collective gasp swept through the banquet hall. Whispers rippled like waves across the crowd. No one had heard any official news about another royal princess, aside from the one who had gone missing. Sure, there had been whispers just the other day, vague and
Chapter 135 As the heat seeped into her muscles, she took a deep breath and reached for the rose-scented shampoo. She lathered it into her hair, letting the familiar floral fragrance mask her natural scent. She followed it with a matching rose body wash, scrubbing her skin gently. But midway
