Humberto's point of view
“I am Humberto Elrod, I am the Lycan king. How dare the moon goddess curse me, how dare she tell me I have six months to live,” I sneered angrily, kicking the dried leaves off the ground.
I punched a large tree in the woods, breaking it in two.
I would not allow you to take my life. I'd rather end it myself.
I would go to the river and end it all today.
I took a step and I turned to the left. My ears shifted as they caught a sharp sound.
What I heard was the scream of a lady.
I raced in that direction and immediately saw an assassin strike a lady on her neck and she fell unconscious.
“Hey!!” I yelled at him, and he immediately turned towards me.
He squinted at me and said, “Stay away or get killed, this is none of your business.”
“Leave her,” I growled through gritted teeth.
The assassin shifted and took a fighting stance, signaling me to come with his finger.
I stood still, and my head rolled back in laughter.
“You want to get yourself killed, huh?” I asked him with my hands on my waist.
“Common,” he yelled, still beckoning me to come to him.
I folded my hands across my chest as I gritted my teeth, “No, you come…”
I hadn't finished my words when he jumped in the air and lunged at me.
I shifted a bit, and he fell face-first to the ground.
I stood there clicking my tongue at him.
He growled as he pulled himself up from the ground and threw his claw at me.
I tilted my head to the side, effortlessly dodging it.
Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead as he bit his bottom lip and made a counter-attack with his other claw, and I slapped it off my face, sending him to the ground.
He crawled on the ground and stood on all fours as he growled, arching his back and twisting his neck.
He shifted into a black wolf with a long white stripe on his back.
I stepped back and stood astride as I stretched out my hands to my sides, my fangs shot out.
I rolled my head as my fangs popped out of my mouth.
I squinted at the black wolf in the air lunging at me.
I stepped forward and caught it on its neck in midair.
Its eyes widened in shock as it threw its legs in the air.
“I am not going to kill you, but how about I mark you… I'll get you later.” I said with a smirk as I slashed his face with my claws.
I threw it on the ground a mile away.
It immediately rushed up and raced off whimpering.
I turned to the lady still unconscious on the floor, I rushed to her and tapped her cheeks softly, “Hey.”
I gulped as I shifted her blonde hair off and beheld her little pretty face. She is fair-skinned and has an oval-shaped face, full lashes, a small pointed nose, and full pink lips.
She had dark circles under her eyes, “What did they do to you?”
She stirred and opened her big green eyes.
We locked eyes until her face twitched in pain.
“Ouch… my belly hurts,” she winced as she rolled over and held her belly.
I looked down, and my eyes widened in shock at what I saw.
“You're bleeding,” I whispered.
She looked down at it and immediately cried out “No… my baby… no.”
I stood up to my feet, scooped her in my arms, and raced deeper into the woods toward my mansion.

I stood pacing the corridor in my mansion as it pinched the bridge of my nose.
The sound of the door opening made me turn towards it.
“Doctor, how is she?” I asked eagerly.
The doctor shook his head and looked at me, “She is fine, but I am sorry, she lost the child.”
I gritted my teeth and growled as my heart ached in pain.
I punched the wall hard, giving it crack lines.
“I have given her some drugs, let her rest for a while, she should be fine by tomorrow.” The doctor said and walked out.
I balled my fist as I walked inside the room.
My eyes fell on her, she was slim, and her long blonde hair was all over the place.
I sat by her head as I caressed her face softly.
I promise to give you justice. Whoever did this to you must pay.
Yes, I have just six months to live. I would dedicate it to bringing revenge upon all who wronged you.
I brushed the hair off her face and my heart jumped within me.
“Mate, finally,” Aziel growled inside of me and I furrowed my brows as my heart raced.
I gulped, licked my lips, and got up to my feet.
I don't need a mate, I am going to die soon.
A mate would only be a weakness to me.
I walked to the door and took one last glance at her, the need to go to her and wrap her in my arms, comforting her, crawling up my chest, but I pushed it down and closed the door.

I stood at the kitchen counter slicing some vegetables, I took a deep breath as I couldn’t take my mind off her.
I shook my head as I tried to focus. But her green eyes.
“Hi,” I heard her call out softly from behind me.
I froze as I straightened my back, chills ran up and down my bare back as I heard her walking towards me.
“You are awake,” I said, without turning back.
She sighed as she stood beside me, “I felt bored upstairs alone.”
I gulped, her voice… it does something to me, I turned to her and my heart shrank when I noticed her wet and puffy eye.
Shit. she has been crying. “I am sorry for your loss,” I managed to say.
She managed a smile, but it didn’t reach her eyes as she said, “Thanks.”
My chest tightened as I saw her in that state. I dropped the knife in my hand and rinsed my hands with the flowing water from the sink tap.
I licked my lips as I took her hand, “You don’t need to pretend to be fine when you’re not.”
Her lips bent downwards as she closed her eyes and burst into a fresh batch of tears.
I pulled her in, shand e wrapped her arms around me tightly, I held my breath as I pressed her head against my chest and rubbed her back.
We had a moment of silence in a while. Soon she pulled back and stared up at me, “Thanks S,ir.”
I cringed at the title she called me, and I shook my head, “Call me Humberto.”
She nodded and I cupped her face and wiped her tears with my thumb
..“How can someone be so pretty even when she is crying?” I teased her.
She smiled and looked down, “You are flattering me… I could bet I look a mess now.”
I clicked my tongue, “No… right now you look so good, it’s so hard to resist.”
She looked up at me and blinked, “Why do you resist then?”
Shit. I groaned inwardly, “I will make you feel better, princess,” I said as I crashed my lips on hers.
“Hmm..” she moaned as she fell back, I pressed on for her and lifted her off her feet with her bottom as I placed her on the counter.
I pulled away and she sat there gasping at me, I cupped her face as I touched our foreheads, her warm fast breath fanning my face.
“I will make them pay…” I said as I locked eyes with her, “Every single one of them will pay for every drop of tear you’ve shed.”
“Yes Daddy,” she said and those words got me undone. I growled as I opened her legs wider and pulled her against me as I kissed her neck.
She threw her head back, tugging at the buckle of my belt.
“s**t… princess you asked for it,” I groaned as I loosened my belt.
