Royal Chess

7 years ago ....

Ethan wandered through the dark woods; his sight limited to the trees as he moved. He had a companion, a woman who appeared to be well advanced in her pregnancy. She had difficulty matching Ethan's speed due to her large belly, but they raced away from someone and discovered themselves deep in the woods. Suddenly, Ethan heard the woman next to him say, "Ethan, halt!" He stopped in his tracks and rushed up to her. The woman reached a point of such exhaustion that she fell to her knees and says, out of breath, "I cannot go on." Ethan kneeled beside her and asked, "Let us rest for a few minutes? He glanced around to check for safety and noticed only trees surrounding them. He could hear the owl's late-night howl in the woods. It appeared that nobody was trailing them, so they were secure for the time being. "I think the baby is close by," Ethan overheard the woman say beside him. He looked to his side and saw her hand stroking her belly roughly. "What do you mean?" asked Ethan, worried. He gently touched the woman's back and started to rub her back.

Ethan provided comfort to the woman who experienced severe pain. He could sense her body becoming more and more tense, and her breathing growing heavier. Ethan tried to console her by telling her that everything would be alright. However, he didn't know what to say to someone who had been in pain as he had never experienced it before. Suddenly, something caught Ethan's attention, and he noticed they were no longer alone in the woods. The atmosphere around them changed from the fresh scent of pine trees to fear and panic as a group of wolves surrounded them. Ethan was shocked to see that these were not ordinary wolves. Their bodies were engulfed in flames, and flames were emanating from them.

Ethan moved closer to the woman beside him and started shielding her with his body. "Ethan, what are these things?" heard Ethan the woman says, scared beneath him. "I do not know, but do not worry," says Ethan. "But I will not let them hurt you or the baby," says Ethan, placing a magic shield over the woman beside him. The flaming wolves were moving closer by the minute, so the air started to get hotter around them. Ethan started to arch his back; he was ready to fight and would do whatever it took to protect them.

"Isn't the king himself," Ethan overheard a strong man's voice say. He couldn't see anyone, only the trees and the flaming wolves around them. "Who are you?" called out Ethan, tightening his fist next to his side. "Show yourself?" he says, looking around to see if he could spot the man "Ethan," the woman next to him called out his name. Ethan's attention shifted to her when he saw blood on her dress and her hands. "The baby is coming," Ethan heard her say in pain. He started to panic when he noticed the blood on her hands and dress. His heart was racing, and his palms were sweaty. "Yes, Ethan, the baby is coming. We should do something," Ethan overheard a man say again. This time, when he looked up, a tall dark man stepped out of the darkness. The first thing that caught Ethan's attention was that the man had one dark blue eye and a red eye. The feeling that came over Ethan was angry mixed with fear. He did not like this man, whoever he was. Ethan shielded the woman more and placed his hand over her belly.

The flaming wolves were dangerously close to them, emanating a heat that they could feel. "I want what belongs to me," says the tall and dark man, declares. "That beautiful baby inside her is mine."

"Ethan tightened his arm around the woman's back and said, "You'll have to go through me to get to this child." He swore to protect this woman and her unborn child with his life. Though he didn't know her name or what she looked like, he knew he had to keep her safe at all costs."

Ethan was startled by the loud, evil laugh from the tall, dark man. He could sense a sinister vibe in his tone. "That would be as easy as pie," says the man, still laughing. Ethan felt a shiver down his spine. "Wolves, fetch!" he orders with an evil grin. As soon as he spoke those words, thousands of flaming wolves charged towards them, forming an entire army of wolves. Ethan could feel his heart racing as he tried to process what was happening.

Ethan's heart raced as he saw the woman next to him being attacked by one of the flaming wolves. He could hear her screams and feel her pain. At that moment, everything else faded away as he focused on helping her. With all his might, he pulled the wolf off her arm and reinforced the shield over them with his magic. But as he tried to transform into his wolf form, he felt a strange blockage preventing him from doing so. He knew he had to stay strong for the woman, who was in labor and about to give birth amidst the chaos. Despite the danger and uncertainty, Ethan was determined to protect her and her baby, and he held up the shield with all his strength.

The air around them grew warmer and more oppressive as Ethan struggled to hold up the protective shield. Despite his own discomfort, he remained focused on his task of keeping them safe. He could feel the woman's anguish as she pushed with all her might to bring new life into the world. At that moment, all the pain and exhaustion melted away as they heard the first cries of the newborn. It was a beautiful moment of joy and hope, and Ethan felt grateful to have played a part in bringing it about.

Despite being distracted by the sight of a newborn baby held loosely by a woman, Ethan's attention was focused on the shield that was starting to crack under pressure. The woman looked up at Ethan, revealing her beautiful face with long, curly blonde hair that cascaded softly on her shoulders. Her green eyes were stunning, with a hint of gold around her big black pupils, and she had long, thick black eyelashes. Ethan was struck by her beauty and the baby she held, and he was completely oblivious to the shield around them. He felt a strong sense of love for the woman and the baby. Suddenly, the shield started to shake violently as the flaming wolves outside began to push against it. A terrified scream filled the air as the shield shattered, and the wolves closed in on them. Reacting quickly, Ethan rushed to the woman and baby and shielded them with his body, protecting them from the flaming wolves.

Ethan abruptly woke from his dream, his heart pounding in his chest. The room was dimly lit, casting eerie shadows on the walls. He sat up in his bed, feeling the cold sweat on his forehead. As he looked around, the silence seemed to consume him, devoid of the comforting presence of the woman and the baby he had been protecting. He longed to know her name, the soft sound of it dancing on his lips. The memory of her beauty would forever be etched in his mind, a vision of radiance. As he shielded the innocent baby from harm, he could feel the weight of responsibility settling on his shoulders.

Ethan sank back onto his bed, his gaze fixed on the intricate white and gold rosette pattern that adorned the ceiling of his room. As he lay there, lost in thought, flashes of the mysterious woman from his dream flickered across his mind, each one more vivid than the last. He couldn't shake the feeling that there was something special about her, something that set her apart from any woman he had ever encountered before. She seemed almost like a goddess, with her flowing hair and ethereal beauty, and he felt an overwhelming urge to protect her. As he lay there staring up at the ceiling, he couldn't help but wonder who she was and what she symbolized.

Ethan struggled to fall back asleep after being jolted awake by a vivid dream. Lying on his back, he replayed every detail in his mind, trying to make sense of the disjointed images and emotions that had stirred him. Time seemed to stretch endlessly as he wrestled with his thoughts, but eventually, exhaustion overtook him, and he sank into a fitful sleep.

The coronation of the king is an event that draws people from all corners of the world. And when the king has the power to rule over all metaphysical creators, it's an even bigger deal in the supernatural world. King Scott and his beautiful wife, Evangeline Havenblade, had ruled the magical world for over 60 years. But now, it was time for a new king to ascend the throne. Out of the five sons of King Scott, Ethan was the only one who was a valid candidate to take on the role of the king. He was the only one who possessed the qualities that were necessary to rule over the magical world.

The coronation of Ethan as the new king was a momentous occasion, and one that would be remembered for years to come.

Ethan had been waiting for this moment for years. The coronation was about to begin, but before he could take his place as king of the supernatural world, he needed to take a moment to himself. He knew just where to go - the king's private chamber where all the whiskey was kept. As he poured himself a glass of GLENFIDDICH 50-YEAR-OLD whiskey, he couldn't help but think of his father, who had been a collector of the finest whiskeys. Ethan savored the taste of the whiskey, feeling a sense of pride that he was now 18 years old and legally allowed to drink. He made his way to the king's chair, which was tall and covered in pure gold. As he stood next to the chair, tracing his fingertips over the gold railing of the throne, he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. In just a few hours, he would be the one sitting in that chair, ruling over the entire supernatural world. It was a scary thought, but also an incredibly exciting one.

"You would make a grade, King Ethan, "overheard Ethan, a woman's voice coming from the room's entrance. Ethan looked up to see who it was and saw it was Selene, the moon goddess. "I hope so, "says Ethan, doubting her question. It was a big responsibility to be king over the whole world. "When you were born, did your father already see a power inside you? They knew you would be the true king one day, "says Selen while going to Ethan. "I hope their prevision of me was true; I do not want to disappoint them, "says Ethan. He took a seat in the king chair; it was not that kind of soft chair. "I have something for you, " hear Ethan her say." I thought of you and think you are going to need this when you rule the supernatural world "say Selene .

Ethan gazed up at Selene, the goddess of the moon, with a look of confusion on his face. "What do you mean?" he asks, his voice tinged with uncertainty. Sensing his confusion, Selene lifted her hand to her side and held it flat, palm down. Suddenly, a woman appeared beside her, causing Ethan to gasp in shock as he stood up from his throne chair and drew closer to the woman, Selene explained that she was a vision for the time being, but she would soon be born into a royal family. Ethan was amazed that the woman he had dreamed of only the night before was standing right in front of him, and he couldn't help feeling nervous as he took in her beauty.

Despite his nerves, Selene's words brought him comfort. She had created this woman to be a perfect match for him, with features that mirrored his own. Selene smiled warmly at Ethan, offering him words of encouragement, and understanding as he processed what he was seeing. With Selene's guidance and assurance, Ethan felt his worries begin to fade away. He knew that he could trust in her vision for his future, and he felt grateful for her guidance as he prepared to embark on a new journey.

As Ethan stood in awe of the stunning woman in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of fear creeping into his heart. The memory of his dream flashed through his mind, and the thought of losing her and their unborn child was enough to make him tremble. "Ethan, I understand how you feel," says Selene, the Moon Goddess, with a gentle voice. Ethan looked into her eyes, and he could sense the compassion and understanding she had for him. "I know about your dream, and I want you to know that I won't let it happen. I'm here for you, and I'll do everything in my power to keep you and your loved ones safe."

Ethan made his way back to the table filled with whiskey, he poured himself another glass of the strong liquor. He took a moment to reflect on his father's habits and realized why he used to drink to ease his nerves. "I'm sorry you had to go through that," Hear Ethan Selene say then continue "I can imagine how difficult that must have been for you". Ethan takes a sip from the glass. "It's important to remember that you have control over your future and that you can make different choices," add Selene, hoping to offer some comfort to Ethan.

Ethan left out a heavy sighed, he was just about to become king and could not effort to be emotional today. As the new king would everyone expect greatness from him and to be strong without showing any emotional. He was the anker of the underworld and he cannot punish the death if he was emotional attached. The reason why his father picked him to be king was because he was the only one who could punish those one who was evil.

"I've been looking for you everywhere," Ethan's father says as he entered the room. Selene overheard and felt uneasy, as she didn't want anyone to know about the gift she had given to Ethan. She had created a woman for him, and the thought of it being exposed made her anxious. "Your Highness, I just wanted to thank you for allowing me to be here and witness such a wonderful moment in Ethan's life," Selene says, giving a slight bow to King Scott. "It is my pleasure to have you here Selene, you are always welcome in the family " say King Scott .

Ethan looked up at his father with a mix of fear and uncertainty. He knew that the moment he had been dreading had finally arrived, and he felt overwhelmed. He took a deep breath to calm his nerves, but his anxiety persisted. "Ethan, it's time to go. The processions are about to begin," says King Scott, sensing his son's unease. Ethan remained silent, feeling the weight of the moment. He slowly made his way to the room's exit, hoping that everything would turn out alright.

As the monarch embarks on their journey from their residence to the site of their coronation, the procession serves to symbolize this momentous occasion. The crowds that line the route, celebrating with cheers, bear witness to this historic moment. Join in on the festivities as they honor the monarch and the journey towards a new era.

After the procession at the Enchanted Castle, King Scott proceeded with the next step: the anointing ceremony, which occurs during the coronation service. The Archbishop of Canterbury performs the ritual by applying oil to Ethan's forehead and hands. This ritual is followed by the presentation of the crown, which signifies the monarch's authority, and the orb, which represents the supernatural world.

After the Anointing ceremony , fallow Ethan his father in to a room were King Scott give him a spectacular robe of cloth what was cover with gold called the Supertunic with along Imperial Mantle. It presents the Coronation Regalia, such as the gold spurs, the jeweled Sword of Offering, and the Armill's, which are gold bracelets representing sincerity and wisdom.

They finally arrive at the heart of the coronation ceremony were King Scott along with his lovely Wife Queen Evangeline come to stand in front of Ethan.

"Ethan, my son, I believe in you and trust that you will become a great ruler in this world. With my honor, I give you this scepter that holds great power to rule over the supernatural world," says King Scott while holding the scepter out to Ethan. "Will you accept this scepter and promise to use this power with wisdom?" asks King Scott while looking at his son with expectation. "I promise," says Ethan, as he took the scepter from his father. King Scott then took the last item, the Orb, and held it in front of him. "This Orb represents godly power and gives you the ability to dominate over the supernatural world," says King Scott while looking directly into his son's eyes. Ethan was nervous throughout the coronation, but when his father held the Orb in front of him, he gained confidence. He was no longer scared or nervous.

"Ethan, do you accept this Orb?" asks King Scott. "I do," answered Ethan, as he took the big gold Orb from his father's hand.

The coronation ceremony was the most important event in the supernatural world, and Ethan's ascension to becoming the new king was the highlight of the day. The ceremony was held in a grand hall, where the senior officials of the kingdom were seated. Ethan moved to the Throne chair, which was at the center of the hall, and surrounded by a pure gold frame. The Throne chair was different from the one in the king's chamber room, as it was covered with expensive red material. Ethan stood before the chair, holding the scepter in one hand and the Orb in the other. He looked around the hall and saw the faces of the officials who had served his father, King Scott, for many years. He felt a sense of responsibility and pride as he prepared to accept the Crown. King Scott, Ethan's father, stepped forward, holding the Crown in his hands. "With this crown, which has been in our family for centuries," he says, "you will receive the power to rule and make wise choices for your kingdom. You will also have the wisdom and leadership to lead your kingdom." Ethan listened carefully, knowing that the Crown represented the responsibility of leadership and the trust of his people.

King Scott looked at Ethan and says, "Ethan Havenblade, do you accept this Crown?" Ethan's eyes met his father's, and he nodded. "I do," he says, his voice steady and confident. His mother stood nearby, looking at him with pride. Ethan moved to the Throne chair and sat down, feeling the weight of the Crown on his head. He knew that he had a lot of work to do, but he felt ready for the challenge.

King Scott, the ruler of the supernatural world, steps forward with a glimmering crown in his hand. Slowly and gracefully, he places the crown on Ethan's head, as the crowd watches in awe. With a commanding voice, he begins to speak, "Ethan Haveblade, I hereby crown you as the king who will rule over the supernatural world. You have proven yourself to be a just and honorable leader, and I have full faith that you will guide our world to a prosperous future." The crowd erupts into cheers and applause, as Ethan looks on, humbled by the honor bestowed upon him.

Ethan's face is lit up with a wide smile as he finally ascends to the throne of the supernatural world. This is the moment he has been dreaming of since he was a little boy. He has spent his entire life preparing for this moment, with long hours of practice to perfect his kingly demeanor and behavior. As Ethan surveys the crowd of people who cheer, he hears his father's voice booming out, "Your New King Ethan Haven." The sound of wolves howling fills the air, and all the supernatural creatures present bow down on their knees as a mark of respect to their new king. Ethan takes a step forward beside his father, clutching a scepter in his hand. He raises it towards the sky, and the big bell of the castle starts ringing. The sound echoes throughout the land, signaling the beginning of a new era under Ethan's reign. As he basks in the glory of the moment, Ethan knows that he has a lot of work to do to prove himself as a worthy king to his subjects. However, for now, he revels in the glory of his achievement, thrilled to have finally reached his lifelong goal.

Becoming the ruler of the supernatural world was a significant achievement for King Ethan, but it wasn't an easy journey. He had to work hard every day to keep himself in top shape as some magical creatures were incredibly powerful. He had to be prepared to fight them, and that required great power. Despite being a king, Ethan still had to attend numerous meetings with different wolf packs. And when he wasn't in a meeting, he was busy punishing evil souls in the underworld. Thankfully, Ethan had a reliable right-hand man, Chace, who supported him in every way possible.

Selene, the moon goddess, also helped Ethan by keeping her promise to him. She created a woman using half of Ethan's heart and his blood, along with the women's family bloodline. Selene worked her magic and placed the woman she created in the womb of a royal woman, granting them a beautiful baby daughter. It's clear that Ethan had to overcome various challenges to get to where he is, and we can empathize with his struggles.

Some were near a coastline not far from King Ethan's kingdom. Was there an old castle near the shoreline on a cliff with a small town around it. A royal family was blessed with a miracle after struggling to bear a child for many years. Finally, a woman fell pregnant and gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, bringing joy and hope to the family.

Meanwhile, Ethan was outside on the training field with his best friend and proper man, trying to release his anger after a rogue wolf stole a blue stone from Selene's castle. The blue stone was a dangerous object that could kill someone like Ethan, who was royal and powerful. The thought of the rogue wolf having the blue stone made Ethan even angrier, and he was punching the bag aggressively when he heard a loud sound of a newborn baby crying.

"Max, did you hear that?" asks Ethan, his wolf speaking to him inside his head. "I was wondering the same thing. It was driving me crazy," Max replies back to Ethan.

"Ethan, are you okay?" asks Chace, who was standing beside him. "Let's call it quits for now. I have some important meetings this morning that I need to attend," says Ethan as he walked over to where his towel and water bottle were on the bench. Sure, I'll see you later. And remember, you need to visit the orphanage downtown today," Chace reminded Ethan before he left.

Ethan left out a heavy sighed, that was one of his duties as a king. As the king of the supernatural world was it Ethan responsible for taking care of those who are in need and the orphanage house was full of children who lost their parents , some was abandoned in the woods . it was an orphanage house with mix of vampire children and wolves, witches and fairies , dwarfs .

As Ethan was on his way back to the castle, the sound of the heartbeat crossed his ears again; it was a constant rhythm of a tiny heartbeat. Ethan tried to shut his ears with the palms of his hands to block the sound out, but it was still there; it got so intense that Ethan turned into his wolf form and started to run up to the castle. Even with his wolf form, Ethan could hear the heartbeat pounding back in his ears; it was like someone was by him the whole time. Ethan changes back to his human form when he gets to his room. He was saved back in his room, so he didn't care if he was naked. Ethan made himself to his bathroom, walked, walked straight up to the shower, and turned the tuns on at full speed of water; he stepped under the water and let the warm water fall over him. The sound of the water at least blocked some of the sound. Ethan could at least relax under the warm water. He needed a moment for himself because the 10 months since he had begun king had been rough and challenging.

Ethan was enjoying his shower, feeling the water wash over him, relishing the solitude. But his peace was disrupted when someone tried to invade his mind link. As the king, he had the ability to hear everyone's thoughts in his head, and anyone could try to mind link him. Ethan closed his eyes and counted to ten before opening his mind link again. "Ethan, you need to come down here. We have news about that rogue wolf," Chace says through the mind link. Ethan wished he could just kill the rogue and be done with it, but he couldn't because the rogue looked just like the man he had dreamed about the night before his coronation.

"I will be right there "say Ethan through his mind-link, reassures someone that he will be present soon. He finishes his warm shower and decides to use his magical abilities to dress himself. Ethan closes his eyes and visualizes his outfit for the day: a blue shirt, black pants, a black tie, and black pointed shoes. He opens his eyes and flicks his fingers, and just like that, Ethan is fully dressed and ready to go. He checks himself in the bathroom mirror, fixing his hair until it's at its finest. Satisfied with his appearance, Ethan uses his magic once more to transport himself to the basement where the prisoners are kept. He closes his eyes and focuses on the basement, an old, grimy place with grey-brick walls and no windows. The basement is located on the other side of the castle. It has a door that leads to old wooden stairs that take you underground. Ethan visualizes the image in his head and concentrates on his magic, flicking his fingers once more. In an instant, he finds himself in the basement. He scans the area, looking for any Knights who might need his help. As soon as Ethan heard Chace's voice, he was all ears. "Great to see you here, Ethan! You're not going to believe what the mad rogue wolf has to say," Chace exclaims. Ethan's curiosity was piqued, and he eagerly leaned in to hear more.

Ethan walks cautiously alongside Chace towards the prisoner's room. The hallway is dimly lit, with flickering torches casting eerie shadows on the walls. As they approach the gate where the prisoner was, Chace takes a deep breath and reaches for the gate. With a creaking sound, the steal old rusty gate swings open. The air inside is room was musty, with a strong, unpleasant odor that makes Ethan's nose wrinkle. The only source of light comes from a small torch mounted on the wall, which barely illuminates the corners of the room. In the center of the room, a figure is huddled in the shadows. As Ethan steps inside, he feels the chill in the air, he shakes it off. He cannot show any weakness as a king. The wolf what called himself the dark one was chained to the wall with old, rusty prisoner cuffs. The man who was chained up had visible bruises from the beating he had received from the warrior knights. There was also a strong urine smell coming from him when Ethan stepped closer to the prisoner, making Ethan nauseous. He tried to gulp the nausea in his throat and put on his king face; he had to be serious now. "I heard that you had something important to share, "says Ethan while cracking his knuckles one by one. An evil laugh starts to cross the room when the man who was chained up starts to laugh evilness, making every vein in Ethan's body want to burst of how angry he was." No one dared to disrespect the king ". In second, grab Ethan, the man in the chains at his throat, and started to choke him. "No one disrespects me Without notice, he was actually too busy to choke the man almost to death until Chace jumped in and pulled Ethan away from the man. "Ethan, stop, you're killing him, "shouted Chace., "says Ethan with a mix of his wolf Max voice. "If I ask you a question, you answer me!"

He was too busy to choke the man almost to death until Chace jumped in and pulled Ethan away from the man. "Ethan, stop, you are killing him, "shouted Chace.

Chace couldn't help but notice something peculiar about Ethan's eyes - they were the exact same shade of red as his wolf, Max. This was something out of the ordinary, and it caught Chace's attention immediately. It was as if Ethan and Max were connected in a way that was beyond comprehension.

Ethan's attention was then drawn to a sound that he had heard before, a steady heartbeat that seemed to pulse in his head. This time, however, the sound was louder than ever before, and it made his temples throb with pain. In desperation, Ethan let go of the prisoner he had been holding and covered his ears with his hands. He squeezed his eyes shut, trying to block out the noise, but it only seemed to get louder. The sensation was overwhelming, and he felt as though his head might split open. "You heard it too "overheard Ethan the man say "she was finally born and soon will I have my Queen "says the man while leaving an evil laugh out. Hearing him say that made Ethan angrier. He got up, and with one step, he was in front of the man and had him at his throat. "How dare you, "said Ethan through his grind teeth." Do you really think your dream was just an ordinary dream? I want what belongs to me, "the man to say but Ethan tighter his crib on the man throat while pressing his claws into his skin while looking him direct into his eyes "I will never let you have our unborn child '' says Ethan.

He would never let a madman like this have someone so pure; he might not know the woman in his dreams, but he felt this urge to protect her and his future unborn baby. "Ethan, you are hurting him, and we still need to know where the other half of the blue stone "mind -link Chace him when Ethan was pressing his claws so deep into the man's throat that blood started to run down his neck. Chace was right. The other half of the stone was still missing, and they needed it because it was a weapon that could kill him and Selene. Ethan let go of his crib on the man's throat and then took a step away from him. Chace hands him a small towel to clean the blood of his hands. Ethan took the small towel and started to clean his hands while looking at the man with hate in his eyes. If he had his way, he would kill him.

"He takes a deep breath in then says, 'I'll be at the orphanage house if you need me,'" He look back at Chace one more last time before making his way out of the prison cell.

As Ethan spends time at the orphanage, he can't help but feel a profound sense of gratitude for the blessings in his life. Growing up, he had a healthy family and everything he could have ever wished for. However, the same cannot be said for the children at the orphanage. They have nothing to play with except for sticks and rocks, and the few toys they have are old and worn-out. It breaks Ethan's heart to see them living in such conditions, and he feels deeply empathetic towards their plight. He resolves to do something about it and decides to give the orphanage a complete makeover. He plans to buy new toys, set up a new playground, and make the place feel like a home for the children.

After the orphanage house make Ethan his way to some more meetings when he was finally back at the castle went Ethan straight to his bed. He was warm out and had a big headache of hearing the constant a heartbeat in his ears. There were parts of the day when it stop for a few minute but soon Ethan thinks it was over start the heartbeat all over again.

Ethan had been experiencing a constant thumping sound in his ears for a few days, which was affecting his daily routine. The sound persisted even when he woke up or ate, causing frustration and inability to focus. After enduring this situation for two days, Ethan decided to take action. He was on the training field when he suddenly decided he couldn't take it anymore and used magic to follow the sound of the heartbeat. Before Chace could even ask Ethan, what was happening, Ethan disappeared in the blink of an eye like the wind.

Ethan suddenly found himself transported to an unfamiliar nursery room by the power of his magic. As he looked around, he noticed that the room was decorated with predominantly pink and white colors, and the walls were adorned with beautiful artwork portraying a forest and its small animals. The artwork was so intricate that Ethan felt like he could almost hear the chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves.

Suddenly, a baby's sound caught his attention, and he saw a wooden round cot in the center of the room. The cot had a white canopy, and the bedding was also white with pink frills. Ethan felt an unexplainable urge to move closer to the cot, as if he was being drawn by something. As he approached, he couldn't help but admire the intricate woodwork of the cot. And then he saw her - a beautiful baby girl inside the cot. She was wearing a pink onesie with small white flowers, and her eyes were closed as she slept peacefully. Ethan couldn't help but feel a wave of empathy towards the little one.

Ethan stood still, captivated by the sight of the beautiful baby girl sleeping soundly in front of him. He couldn't help but notice the delicate silver arm bracelet that adorned her tiny left arm. Gently lifting her arm with his hand, he felt the softness of her skin and read the engraved name on the bracelet - "Aliya." The name itself, meaning heavens, highborn, exalted, seemed to suit her perfectly, and Ethan couldn't help but feel that she was a true miracle, a gift from above.

As he gazed down at her, Ethan couldn't believe that this tiny angel had come into the world. It wasn't long before the moon goddess Selene showed him the version of his future queen, and he knew then that Aliya was something truly special. The love he felt for her was immediate and strong, and he knew that he would always feel a deep connection with her. In that moment, Ethan realized that Aliya's parents had chosen her name wisely. It was a name that embodied her beauty and grace, and he felt grateful to be in her presence. As he watched her sleep, he knew that this tiny bundle of joy would change his life forever, it was his responsibility to protect her and to make sure that his dream does not happen in the future. "I will make sure to protect you Aliya and that no one will ever hurt you " say Ethan then bent down and place a soft kiss on her forehead . Ethan was truck of how amazing she smell, her scent was between sweat peas of flowers with a soft lavender mix " And I will be with you and together we will protect this beautiful miracle baby girl " heard Ethan his wolf Max say back in his head . Ethan was wondering why his wolf become quiet, he must have been just as Ethan struck of Aliya beauty. She was sleeping so peacefully in her cot, Ethan feels like he could stand there and watch her for hours how she sleep.

Ethan was suddenly alerted by the sound of footsteps coming down the hallway. He immediately knew it was Aliya's mother coming to check on her newborn. Ethan caught a whiff of her scent - a beautiful mix of lavender, milk, and Aliya's sweet peas. As much as he wanted to stay and protect Aliya, Ethan knew that he had to leave before her mother saw him. It was a difficult decision, but Ethan had no choice but to go. He took one last glance at Aliya before closing his eyes and picturing his castle. As he imagined the chamber where his throne was located, Ethan couldn't help but feel a twinge of sadness for leaving Aliya behind. But he had to trust that she would be safe and sound. With a heavy heart, he used his magic to teleport himself back to his castle.

Ethan found himself back in his empty chamber, where his throne was. The room was so quiet and cold, and he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. He slowly made his way towards his throne and sat down, taking a deep breath to calm himself. He ran his hands through his thick, dark hair, trying to gather his thoughts. As he looked up at the ceiling, he couldn't help but feel lost and confused. "Why do I feel this way, Max?" he asks, his wolf back in his head. "It's because what you thought was love was actually neutral, since she is your fated mate," replies Max. Ethan's heart swelled as he thought about Aliya, and he couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. "It's okay to feel overwhelmed, Ethan. Just take a deep breath "heard Ethan his wolf Max back in his head says . HE does what Max told him to do by taking a big breath in then slowly release his breath .He was already start to feel a little bit better except he could not help to feel that he need to protect Aliya , he could not let anyone like that mad man hurt her.
