Megan looked at her in surprise. "Really?"
"Of course. He's been too long in that coffin, and he needs to drink your blood to be able to be himself."
Megan unconsciously touched her neck and sighed. "But he's driving me away with his character." Then she realised she didn't even know her name. "What's your name?"
"I'm Sunny, my lady," she smiled. "Alpha Ezekiel should be the one to disvirgin you because he needs more of your blood."
"Can you stop talking about the mating stuff?" Megan waved her hands, blushing hard. "I need to think straight!"
"I'm telling you facts. You should get ready because they'll have to mate you together, same night, same bed…"
"Jeeeezzz!" Megan laughed in embarrassment. "Don't corrupt my innocent mind! I want to help them because staying here is a big freedom from the elder white witches. They thought I was a dark witch because of my hair!"
"No, you aren't," Sunny smiled and moved closer, gently caressing her hair. "It's obvious the dark queen came from a white background."
"What?" Megan blinked in confusion. "How is that possible?"
Then she frowned. "Does that mean… Athena is also a white witch?"
"Correct."
"Impossible…" Megan froze. "If she's truly a white witch… that means I'm really a dark queen and… I'm cursed. That's why my hair is black…" she said in displeasure.
"Your black hair isn't a curse, my dear. It's a gift. That's why you'll be the most powerful witch. A dark witch born from a white witch is very rare. That's why they have more enemies, they're meant to rule the entire witch race unlike your mother, Ophelia, who only ruled South Mayeia, the white witches' kingdoms. But you… The daughter of a powerful white witch, is different. You're a royal witch."
Megan frowned. "Is Athena not a princess?"
Sunny shook her head. "Not really, my lady. Her mother was just a mistress for a rich man. You're the first dark queen from a royal background. That's why your blood will make Ezekiel more powerful."
"More powerful?" Megan scoffed. "Is he not powerful enough?"
Sunny shook her head. "He's weak right now. Same with Sebastian. They were supposed to shift under the blood moon yesterday, but because they're not as powerful as before, they couldn't and that's dangerous."
Megan scoffed and glanced at the window. "Things would be good and easy if they didn't ignore me like that. They didn't even bother to find me. I fainted in the middle of that hall and they just left me there!"
She gritted her teeth. "They're not worthy of me!"
Sunny roared with laughter. "Each of you has so much pride. I think that's what we should deal with first. You're fated to kill the dark queen, of course, with the help of your mates."

Northern Mayeia ( Dark Witches Kingdom)
Athena paced back and forth in her throne room. Two men stood beside her. Her long black hair followed her movements as she walked in haste.
"So you mean they're both awake… and their mate is…?" she asked.
One of her trusted men Vincent sighed. "Gabriel is the most powerful seer. His visions never lie."
"Where is he?" Athena asked.
The rest exchanged another look. "You mean you want us to bring him?" Jethro laughed nervously. How were they supposed to do that? The seer wasn't just powerful, he was born in the Twins Era. Arrogant, and loyal to Ezekiel. Everyone knows they are best friends.
Athena raised a brow. "I never said you should bring that spoiled brat. I want to know where he is."
"Same place," Vincent replied. " He has his own huge mansion in Werewolves Kingdom"
Athena nodded. "Good. I don't believe he only saw their rise. And as for their mate… I heard she's the next dark queen." She snorted.
"She's weak. I don't think she'll challenge you for the throne."
"I don't care!" Athena snapped. "She'll die anyway. Ezekiel and Sebastian coming back is a great loss for me, especially Ezekiel!" She had sacrificed her only son, the prince of the witches, to open a forbidden portal. That ritual took his life, along with several witches, vampires, demons… and the werewolves who betrayed him died too.
She once worked for Ezekiel, to make them trust witches again, but her power was nothing compared to his. Like a cat standing beside a lion. Every effort she made was always in vain. She was called a dark queen witch, yet she had no palace, no kingdom of her own. She wanted to rule like Ophelia, to be respected, to control the dark witches.
But working under Ezekiel made her feel like a maid.
Then the demons began testing their dark magic on werewolves, cursing their souls, turning them into savage beasts that obeyed commands. They planned to enslave the werewolves.
Gabriel was the first to see it coming. Ezekiel grew furious and started killing demons. The demon king panicked and approached Athena, promising to fulfil her dream if she helped bring Ezekiel down.
She agreed without hesitation.
A great war was planned. Wolves against demons. In the chaos, they opened the forbidden portal, where dangerous dark energies were sealed. Ezekiel's soul power is very strong, so it attracts them, making them attack him at once. They want to feed on his soul.
Even Athena was terrified that day. No immortal had ever fought that much dark magic. Later that day, he fell, they thought he was dead….but he's still alive.
Sebastian rushed to help his brother and was attacked too. Killing two birds with one stone, she cast a forever sleep on them.
Yet she never truly enjoyed the throne she betrayed them for.
"That must be the reason why they are weak…" Athena mumbled.
"I don't know if Chloe is telling the truth about them being weak…" Athena added. "If they can't shift, that's good news."
"She is," Vincent chuckled. "She was there throughout the ritual. They stayed in human form all night."
" That's the side effects of the portal," Jethro chuckled.
Athena teleported to Western Dynami, the werewolf kingdom, also Ezekiel's territory. The largest kingdom, with twenty great packs. Each pack had its own Alpha, yet Ezekiel ruled them all. Sebastian ruled the South Dynami.
Reaching Gabriel's mansion, Athena sighed. How she wishes she could eliminate the seer, he's another problem they can't solve, he's the oldest seer and very powerful. He could see the past and the future, he even tampered with someone's future, if provoked.
Inside, she met Simon and Joshua, Ezekiel's Beta and Gemma.
She knew it. The wolves were celebrating. Their Alphas were back.
"What are you doing here, Athena?" Beta Simon asked coldly.
Athena clenched her fists. She was a queen now. "I'm no longer your puppet, Simon. I rule the dark witches."
Joshua burst into laughter. Even Gabriel looked amused.
"Yes, your majesty," Gemma Joshua mocked.
"No matter how powerful you are with your dark magics," Simon said calmly, "you're still a servant who betrayed our Alpha."
Athena snarled and pulled out her wand. "One more word, Simon…"
Simon raised and showed her a black ring.
"Good for you," she sneered, turning to Gabriel. "I want to see you alone." Gabriel raised a brow.
"Come. Join us in celebrating my friends' return from the dead."
