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."

The Hawk Castle was engulfed in silence, the only noise echoing through the beautiful dining room was the utensils being banged together.

Lord Rodriguez, who was perched on the high-backed chair, was offered the first meat plate by the serving boy.

The silence was depressing, the ignorant stepbrothers, and the hatred carrying luna's, there was no peace found in eating together.

"Father!" Kaiden, who was making the most noise while banging the spoon against his plate, mumbled to get his father's attention, "Where are those TV's?" he had a frown over his forehead. He didn't like the fact that his father had ordered to keep such a great invention away from the Nobility to cherish them.

"Those were invented by the Peasant humans; why would you want to be dependent on something that was made by the peasants?" The Alpha King had a completely different perspective over life and the world than his son.

From what he remembers, the humans when finding out about supernatural beings, their hunters used modern technology to capture them, torture them, and to perform many torturous experiments on them.

The wolves and vampires worked together to get the world over from the humans and rearrange the manner of living. They hide all the inventions and forbade them from being used, hence they brought the medieval way of living back.

"Wouldn't it be fun that we get to enjoy their luxuries while they droll over us?" Kaiden didn't care about anything. To him, the most important thing was power, the throne, and his entertainment didn't matter the source if his family got all of it.

"No! You have asked about it countless times and I have said no to that, I don't want to ever hear about it again," Lord Rodriguez had to raise his tone a little so that his son, the future alpha king understands it better.

"As a future Alpha, I believe it doesn't suit you to have so much desire for the human-made luxuries," Beatrice, spoke with her eyes drenched in vengeance. All she ever desired now was her son, the eldest son of the alpha king, Gideon to win the throne.

"I am right here to teach my son what's better for him, and God had blessed him with a strong alpha father to make sure he doesn't steer off the right path," Monica responded almost immediately, she was proud of being an accepted Luna.

The 37-year-old Queen Monica was an emblem of beauty. Although she didn't share royal blood like the rest of the members, she had gained enough power to shut down anyone who had ever questioned her background.

"Mother didn't mean t---," As Gideon saw his mother's raging, he wanted to make peace but was swiftly shut down by the harsh glares of Monica, who was too proud of replacing Beatrice.

"Speak when you are asked to," Monica's harsh words made Beatrice watch Lord Rodriguez's face in hopes of some response from him, but he simply did not care.

How was he letting Monica get away with disrespecting his first-ever born? That mystery was beyond Beatrice.

"Mother!" Kaiden, who had been silent so far, stared at his mother in disbelief, "Brother was only trying to bring peace to the table," Kaiden tried to defend his brother but in their mothers' eyes, he only wanted to look nice in front of his father.

The dinner soon ended and they were escorted to their rooms.

"Why do you have to teach Kaiden anything. He is not your problem!" Beatrice started to complain about her son as soon as they came back to the chamber.

Gideon didn't like the treatment his mother had received in previous years. It was unfair to blame all to his mother for his father turned into a hybrid.

That was not her fault and even more his mother was the one who stayed with his father and helped him during his transitions. However the first thing his father did after getting a good hold over the power was to find himself a new mate.

Gideon didn't understand his father's choice, but there's nothing he can do to change.

"Lord Rodriguez needs to know the new alpha doesn't even care about the rules that his father had made," Beatrice rolled her eyes, letting the personal maid to loosen the corset from her back.

"You don't need to do this, mother, Kaiden is a very responsible a--," Gideon too wanted to defend back his brother like Kaiden did at the dining table.

He paused once his mother's harsh glares warned him to not show an affection to his brother.

Obviously, his position was not similar to Kaiden's, he was more like a rejected son who had to walk around eggshells to not offend anyone. He felt terrible.

"I'll go take a run now," Gideon had to take his mind off things, and the best way to do that was to run up to Ophelia's house and stay outside the whole night in hopes of catching a glimpse of her through the windows.

"Make sure you return back soon; I don't admire your activities these days," Beatrice wasn't inattentive to her son's interests these days, but she still has to discover the true reason behind his son's habits.

"Don't fret, nothing wrong is going on. Good night!" Gideon walked out of the room and left the castle.

Things were not so well for Monica and her son, Kaiden, either.

"Why did you have to bring it up again?" she slammed the goblet she was drinking from on the floor and raised her tone at her son, who was sitting on the chesterfield, his one leg over the other and rocking his foot very ignorantly.

"Stop!" she yelled at her maid, who was struggling really hard with taking off the jewelry from Lady Monica's beautiful neck as Monica was dancing around throwing the goblets and using her gestures aggressively.

"I don't understand father's obsession with medieval times. The modern world was so much better than the dull world we are living in now," Kaiden wanted to rule the world but the modern one, this manner of living bored him. "You know ego is your biggest enemy, can someone tell that to father?" Kaiden had no shame in saying whatever he felt like saying.

"I could truly use a cellphone right now," he muttered under his breath, "How long could a person live like this? What's wrong with using humanly invented goods when we are literally making them to prepare our foods, clothes and do all these chores now? We are still dependent on them. They are still inventing for us, whether it be better crops or new foods to feast upon," He found hypocrisy in his father's statements, he thought the alpha king could do better by accepting the time and the inventions that could ease up their lives like before.

"Bring me the finest silk gown," Monica had calmed down now, she had a mating night with the alpha king, she couldn't wait to rub it against Beatrice's face in the morning.

"Don't you want to wear lingerie for father?" Kaiden had to go off-limits to grab his mother's attention. She ceased whatever she was doing and gasped at the words his son has used for her.

"You---," she muttered, picking up a pillow and shoving it in her son's face, "this is why we don't want those inventions back, look at you using foul language to your mother," she wasn't the lady like she was pretending to be. She would just sacrifice anything to please her mate, her king.

"I would love to watch some sexy she-wolves in lingeries," Kaiden sighed in exhaustion and that's when his eyes caught the sight of a very beautiful green emerald in a pendant.

A smile crept over his lips as his mind signaled this pendant would look so good around his gorgeous Rosalie's neck.

Just when his mother was busy getting ready to visit her lord's chamber, Kaiden sneaked the pendant into his pocket.
