"DID I NOT TELL YOU TO GIVE HER THE MEDICINE AND SHUT YOUR SHOP DOWN," Gideon couldn't fight down the lividness in his veins once Mr. Harrold maltreated Ophelia.

Mr. Harrold hurriedly gulped in fear and handed Ophelia the medicine back.

"I'll leave now," Gideon announced, slowly turning towards Ophelia, who was also set to go. Gideon wanted to follow her to make sure she reaches home safely.

"You too, shut your shop down now," He glared at Harrold, who sneaked a glimpse of the rain and then anxiously looked around.

"It's still raining," he whispered in his mouth, hoping Gideon would give him a pass.

"You are not going to melt, if she can walk in rain, so can you. I have not heard that humans melt under the rain," One could tell from the tone Gideon used that he was still pissed at Harrold for mistreating his lover.

"Sorry! I'll shut it down then," Harrold wouldn't want to piss him off any further so, he swiftly agreed with his terms.

"And I'm taking this," Gideon, before leaving his pharmacy, took his umbrella from the stand. Harrold, as much as he desired to protest, remained silent as his only hope of keeping himself from getting soaked was ripped off from him.

Soon Ophelia was on her foot to her home while Gideon walked behind her, his arm pulled all the way to Ophelia and holding an umbrella over her head.

"That'd be fine," she saw her house from down and instead of climbing up the steep, she turned around to bid goodbye to her beloved Gideon.

"Are you sure you don't want me to pick you up at your house?" he was genuine in his offer but it made Ophelia to giggle sweetly.

"Just because I am a human and I'm unable to use my four limbs to walk, doesn't mean I can't climb the mountains and this is just a small steep," she rolled her eyes at him and gently pushed his hand away to make the umbrella rest over his head now.

"I know you are capable of much more, but it's not about what you can do, it's about what I want to do for you," He smiled while keeping his eyes on her beautiful face and watching raindrops dripping off her skin. He pulled his hand over her head again, holding the umbrella still.

"Well, you truly did a lot today," Ophelia gently shook her face and then batted her eyelashes, very steadying shifting the umbrella back on his head this time.

"I want to do much more for you, Ophelia!" His tone soothed her heart. This time, he didn't offer the umbrella, instead, he pulled himself closer to her so that both of them could be under the same umbrella, "Here, give it to Isla, she loves chocolates," He pulled out the biggest bar of chocolate and offered it to Ophelia, who was already swooning over his way of showing his affection to her.

She grabbed the chocolate out of his hands and shoved it in her pocket. Her head was lowered as she did so, and when she raised her face up, she found him watching her with unconditional love in his eyes. She shoved his hand to the side, putting the umbrella away from both of their heads, letting the rain wash their faces.

She raised her body on her tip toes and brushed her lips against his. He parted his lips and took her lips between his lips to suck the beauty out of them.

Their lips rubbed tightly against each other as he deepened the kiss, without touching her anywhere else.

Ophelia wanted to be pushed down by him and fu*** harder than ever, but now was not the right time for it as her sister was sick and she was already past her curfew.

They broke the kiss in fear of getting caught by anyone as their love was a forbidden tale they were writing.

She soon disappeared off his sight and climbed to her house. Gideon waited for a few more minutes and then slowly began to transition. Whenever it rained, Gideon would transform into his full wolf form and take a run around the whole land until the rain stopped.

"Were you talking to someone?" Emma watched her daughter get in and quickly take off her muddy shoes, strip off her soaked clothes, left in her undies. She picked up a cloth and wrapped it around her body.

"Ophelia!" her mother felt the secrecy in Ophelia's body language, "were you speaking to someone?" she questioned again and this time, her voice held more power to make sure that her daughter takes her seriously.

"No! Why would you say that? I was by myself." Ophelia hid the truth from her mother as she knew her mother would freak out if she ever came to know about her daughter's forbidden affair with a werewolf.

"Here, give her this medicine, I'll go quickly take a shower," Ophelia left the medicine on the nightstand and rushed into the bathroom.

Watching Ophelia's back, for some reasons, Emma started to worry about her beautiful daughter. There had been rumors running around that soon the Alpha King was going to announce a special day for his powerful sons and they were allowed to pick any human girl from their homes to sleep a night with them.

Emma feared that Kaiden was going to pick Ophelia. She always knew that her daughter was pretty and sexy enough that nearly everybody keeps wishing to sleep with her.

Resting in the wooden tub, Ophelia was trying to calm her body down with warm water.

The thought of Gideon was enough to make her blush. He cared so much about her, he was ready to fight Mr. Harrold for her. Ophelia rubbed her fingers over her lips, remembering his touch.

She took off her bra and panty and sat in the tub. As she slowly closed her eyes, her mind played a film of Gideon before her in her thoughts.

Her body was excited at the memory of his touch, her one hand traveled down to her privates as she closed her eyes shut and pleased herself while imagining Gideon.

Her fingers gently ran over her va*ina while wanting his d*ck. Ophelia had always wanted to stay a virgin until she is married and now that she has found Gideon, she was hoping to become his mate and then fill her body with his love. So she only rubbed herself as hard as she could to get off to his name.

Although Ophelia knew that her love with Gideon was not accepted in this world, and she knew exactly that if their love was ever exposed, she would have to pay a heavy price, maybe she would be sold to the rich werewolves and be fucked by them every single night... she had also been fear and tried to avoided her feelings for Gideon, but in the end she was completely fell for him. Who can resist the gentle and powerful Prince Gideon?

While Ophelia was mesmerized by Gideon's memory, her mother ascended her drenched clothes when a bar of chocolate slipped down her pocket, making her mother frowned at the sight.

Had this happened a few years ago, her mother would have never questioned it, but the world has changed after the biggest war happened between the humans and the wolves, which resulted in the world shifting to old times.

The luxury of having such a huge chocolate bar was indeed concerning for peasants like humans.

"Oh, what you have done daughter?" Emma slightly shut her eyes down and heaved a sigh of sorrow.

She waited patiently for her daughter to come out of the bathroom. Their houses weren't fancy, they were made of logs, there weren't any partitions inside the house. Upon entrance, there was an open hall where they had tiny beds at a distance and then in one corner was a bathroom and the other had a kitchen with no walls.

They were still blessed to have a roof over their heads, which Emma feared her daughter might be up to something that could cause them to lose that luxury as well.

"Ophelia, can I have a word with you?" Emma saw Ophelia getting into her sight and she couldn't help, but summon her the very moment their eyes met.

Isla was lying in the bed between her mother's and sister's bed, all the beds had a space left between them to comfortably get in and climb out of the bed.

"Yes? Is everything alright? Is Isla okay?" The first thought that crossed Ophelia's head was that the medicine didn't work. She reached her mother and sat down with her on her bed.

"I wouldn't try to beat around the bush, I want to be blunt with you and I want an honest answer, what is this?" she showed the chocolate to Ophelia, who looked surprised to forget about it.

"Oh!" Ophelia had only opened her mouth when Isla saw the chocolate and a smile covered her lips.

"Did you steal it?" her mother's questionable eyes made Ophelia shake her head in disappointment.

"No, mom! I would never do anything that could cause you and Isla any harm," The moment those words left Ophelia's lips, she was forced to recall Gideon and her forbidden affair with him.

"Then where did it come from?" Her mother was persistent to know the truth.

"I--, Mr. Harrold had it and he gave it to me," once she said it, she too realized it was a very weak excuse, "Prince Gideon arrived and he wanted Mr. Harrold to shut the shop down so he kind of rushed at him to make some lose decisions," that over there sounded like a good excuse as Prince Gideon wasn't known for troubling humans so much.

"Oh!!" Emma sighed in relief and smiled at Ophelia, "It's not like I don't trust you, but we humans are all capable of making wrong decisions at some times," as a mother of two young ladies, Emma had to be vigilant all the time.

"Can we eat it now?" Isla, who could hardly lift up her head now, seeing the chocolate cheered in full of energy.

"I mean, sure, we all deserve a little treat," they all smiled and Emma happily unwrapped the chocolate.

At the same time, a couple in the Hawk's Castle were reaching the orga*m.

A young, handsome man's groan echoed through the room as he finished inside the girl under him in his bed.

Kaiden filled himself between the girl's legs and rested his hard di*k on her va*ina again and after rubbing it over her skin to tease her, he gave a thrust inside her for the second round.

His strong body and chiseled abs were making his sexy body even more mesmerizing.

The girl moaned loudly when he penetrated the inside of her aggressively. Her hands clutched onto the sheet when he gasped at her naked boobs and pressed them whilst going in and out of her.

Just when she thought he was going to finish inside her, Kaiden pulled back and turned her around to make an entry from her behind.

The girl bit onto the pillow when Kaiden's big d*ck torn apart her hole and his push became hard and fast with his every entry.

"Ah!" Kaiden rolled off her to the side and laid down in the bed to rest after hours of having se* with the beautiful lady next to him.

The divine lady parted her beautiful red lips to exhale the breath of pleasure after receiving the best se* of her life. This wasn't the first time they were having intercourse but every time seemed intoxicating and amazing.

"So, what's the plan? Tell me you are staying over for the night," Kaiden, the blue-eyed Hunk, changed his side to Rosalie, who seemed to have zoned out while facing the ceiling.

"You are asking me as if I can make that decision," her voice turned lower as she slowly turned her face to him. Both of them were still completely naked, their bodies making slight contact.

"Come on, if you don't leave my room, nobody will know," Kaiden placed his hand on her bare stomach and gently licked his lip as her cold skin came in contact with his warm palm.

Rosalie was a vampire while Kaiden was a powerful hybrid, soon to be announced as the Alpha of The Dark Mondo Pack and the King of the entire Land.

Their relationship was a huge issue, if anybody were to find out about them, Rosalie was going to be executed for manipulating the alpha to have a forbidden relationship with her. Vampires like Rosalie were considered less respected. Werewolves attained the top spot in the hierarchy, vampires were the second ones, while humans were the least and the last in the hierarchy.

The witches were the banished creatures; witchcraft was banned in every land. If any witch was caught practicing magic, they would be crucified in front of everyone as a lesson.

"How long are you going to hide me from your family?" sadness could be seen in Rosalie's eyes as she stared at the handsome face of Kaiden. He was a powerful hybrid, the only second Hybrid to ever exist after his father.

"Just let me be declared as the alpha king, then I'll do something about it," Kaiden had his eyes fixated at the perfect, round brea*ts of Rosalie. She truly was an emblem of beauty. He ran his hand on her stomach, reaching the brea*t, and gently rubbing the back of his hand to the roundness of her brea*t while his palm was on her stomach.

"And then what? Don't you think your pack will object that you are trying to mate with someone who can't give you an heir?" Rosalie felt his hand being touched against her skin, her body felt a sudden wave of current running through her whole existence.

"We will think about it---," he bowed his face down and gently kissed her brea*t, "when it's a right time, why to ruin our night now?" he lifted his face and finished his sentence while keeping his eyes on her tight nip*le.

"Kaiden! Why can't we use that spell that could bring life inside my lifeless vampire body and t---," her mood swiftly brightened up as she exclaimed in excitement, but her words were left in her mouth when Kaiden removed his hand from her brea*t and laid straight, facing the ceiling this time.

"Rosalie! You know you are suggesting that I break the biggest rule?" the harshness in his tone shocked her, even when she knew what would be the cost of not only stealing the book of magic's but performing a ritual, she demanded it.

Vampires couldn't reproduce, that was the only reason they were under the werewolves in the hierarchy.

"We can't pay a little price for our love? I thought everything was fair in love and war," Rosalie lifted her body up and turned to Kaiden, laying on her left side, she watched his face. Kaiden froze for a few seconds, then continued kissing her with even more lust. He tried all sorts of erotic ways to rub her core, and it looked like his mind wasn't even on her proposal.

"Kaiden! Please listen to me." Rosalie pushed Kaiden away a little,and he finally stopped all his actions,looking at her with his serious eyes. Rosalie thought he had actually considered about what she just said, she encouraged him,"That is the only way to be together or your kind will punish my kind if anybody saw me with a future hybrid alpha king," Rosalie craved for Kaiden to marry her one day, to make her his wife and give her respect, but she also dreamed of giving him an heir, a new Hybrid king to carry on his bloodline.

Sadly, there was only one way for a vampire to carry a child, and the solution was in the book of magic, that the father of Kaiden, the present Alpha king had kept it in high protection to make sure nobody gets their hands on the book.

She was so engrossed in her own thoughts that she didn't notice Kaiden's face getting gloomy.

"Rosalie, I think it's late, you should leave before anyone finds you here with me," Kaiden got up from the bed and pulled up his pant tiredly. He knew Rosalie was watching him in disappointment. Initially, he wanted her to spend the night with him but the moment she brought up the books of magic, Kaiden felt it was better that they stay apart for the night.

"Good Night!" her voice had a hint of pain and agony as she murmured under her breath and marched towards the window. She cracked the window open and jumped out of it, only to land on her feet and bend down. She then straightened her back and tilted her head back to stare at the image of Kaiden, who was watching her leave from his window.

It's hard for Rosalie to express how she was feeling now. She she smiled wryly and soon disappeared into the woods.

Kaiden felt the crosswind brushing against his naked chest, he heaved a sigh of agony, his eyes at the empty spot where once his beloved Rosalie stood.

"Trust me, Rosalie. I'll find the way after I become the real Alpha."
