The news of Amy's pregnancy also gave hope to the grieving families, widows clutched their pups to their hearts, determined to live for them. As usual, Jason was running around for preparations with Orion, that brother's couple was demonstrating every house's situation to Charlotte.

'Michaelson family is preparing a cake, that fruit vendor has been selected dozens of watermelons and yes, I peeped into the bakery, they are baking fresh pies for tonight's celebrations."


Mathew ruffled Jason's hair and received a scowl in response. He specially made spikes for the festival, but Mathew ruined his fashion.

Then he complained to his Luna.

'We used this surrogacy excuse to make him realize that he loved Amy. That genius took Amy to the hospital and became a father by using our idea. Liam is very clever; I really underestimated his intellect."


Talking about Liam, remembering his mischiefs, they spent the whole day in preparation. Ramla came with the medicines and an official letter from the Vampire Kingdom.

'Please accept my condolence on your best friend's death, Luna Charlotte Dietor. The Vampire Kingdom understands your affiliation with your first sire. There is no time limit for you to come and cancel Liam's registration. We wish you a good health and fast recovery."


This to the point letter from the Court's officials reminded her of her duty as a sire to inform the registration office. Charlotte was thankful to King Casper that he was lenient with her.

'For how many days I have to drink this bitter medicine?"

She made faces while drinking herbal medicine, only a hint of Eric's blood was making it passable.

'Just four more dosages, Luna. Then you will be out of danger. This darkness will never affect you or your children in the future."

'What do you mean by out of danger? Why is my little one in danger right now?"

Eric gritted his teeth at the word 'danger", his crimson eyes displaying Rick's agitation.

'This madness rarely appears in the vampires, and it can be transferred to the next generation. In Royals, it is more common, so I have performed a soul purity ritual for Luna, cleaning her aura with mother nature's essence.

With my magic, this illness will never relapse, ensuring a safe life for your family."

She spoke in a mechanical tone and bowed her head, Rick's satisfaction relaxed Alpha's tensed muscles.

'What do you want in exchange, Ramla? Witches don't provide their service for free."

'Julian!"

A voice emerged from the depths of her heart, she suppressed it and kept her face straight.

'I came here on His Majesty's order; he will decide my reward after the completion of this task. Please excuse me, I have to collect herbs for the potion."

She ran out of the Pack house in a hurry, Eric's suspicious gaze followed here until her disappearance from his sight.

During the grand celebrations, Ramla sneaked out of the cheering crowd and called King Casper.

'Tomorrow will be the last day of the treatment, Your Majesty. Her Highness has recovered completely."

Her latest report ran a jolt of glee in Casper's tired body, as he was cursing Lycan King for that detailed meeting.

'Good work, Ramla. You can come back. I'll reward you well."

She contemplated for a while and reluctantly repeated the sentence which she was rehearsing from the morning.

'I have found my soulmate in the Silver Moon Pack, Your Majesty. I want to stay with him."

She was dreading a typical response from the King, but Casper yelled in happiness.

'Really! Congratulations, Ramla. It's such a blessed day for your family, Aunt Alora must be happy for you in the Heaven."

He paused for a second and then continued.

'I am in lycan Capital right now, but you will get a complete Royal protocol for your mating ceremony. I will instruct Ben for everything."

'No, this is not needed now."

Ramla interrupted him immediately.

'We have decided to go on a vacation before the official ceremony. My soulmate is a warrior wolf, he will get three months vacation after mating."

'Then I will visit the Silver Moon Pack, soon. Take care."

King Casper cut the call, as the Lycan King invited him for another meeting. Ramla sighed in relief.

'I will leave this Pack tonight."

She went to her room, packed her bags and then left two bottles of medicine on the table beside Alpha's master bed.

'Take this medicine as it is. Don't warm it."

Coming out of the room after looking everywhere, Ramla closed the door silently and turned to leave.

'Ahh!"

Her head was bumped into a firm steel, a vicious growl startled her.

'What were you doing in Alpha's room?"

Disregarding the bag in her head, Julian inquired to her icily.

'I went there to put medicine."

With every word coming out of her mouth, Julian took a step towards her, scaring her out of her wits.

'Are you sure?"

He asked with suspicion, like a criminal investigated by an official.

'Yes!"

Ramla gulped hard and nodded frantically, Julian's fist banged merely some inches away from her head on the wall.

'Take your bag and place everything back in your room. Your escape plan has been failed. So, better luck next time."

As he turned to leave after wishing her, Ramla mustered up courage and spat out.

'My work is completed here, so I am leaving. For your information, this is not an escape plan."

She tightened the grip on the bag and held her head high. Julian's amused gaze fell on her.

'You can talk too. I thought you can only scream."

He grabbed her arm and pulled her close.

'I love your screams, witch. It makes me happy when you wither under me."

A tear escaped from her eyes, and she sniffled, her heart ached at his brutality.

'Why do you hate me so much? Is it because I am not a virgin? For God's sake, Julian, spare me. In one hundred and fifty years of my life, I dated once, just out of curiosity. You are also an experienced player, why don't we leave the past and start a new life? We cannot spend our lives by living in acrimony."

Ramla panted hard and conveyed her heartfelt emotions, she was fed up with Julian's hate and mistreatment.

'Or else, you will turn me into a mouse or something? I am immune to magic, you witch."

His challenging voice left her aghast; she raised her hand.

'No, Julian. I will reject you. And if you don't reject me in return, I will commit suicide. This is beyond my endurance level. I cannot live like this anymore."
