Zion ordered his men to look for Amaris. He didn't expect that he would fly away from their territory.
When she jumped off the cliff, he felt like his soul had left him. He was relieved and surprised at the same time when she suddenly flew above him.
"Love? Please, come down here. Let's talk." He begged.
But she didn't listen. He saw tears from her eyes when she turned around and flew away from him.
"Zion, what happened?" Zoila asked.
He was in his office checking the map of Aramoor City and its neighboring town. He sighed and told Zoila what had happened. Maxine and Athanasia were also there, glaring at him.
"Her sense of smell is stronger than a werewolf's. She's a half-demon. Werewolves could smell the physical scent, but demons could smell someone's deepest desire. So when she told you she could smell that girl's lust towards you, she was telling the truth." Athanasia explained.
Zion didn't say a word. He was wrong to treat her like she was lying. He thought she was accusing Shania because she was jealous and mad.
'Find mate!' Hunter kept on growling at him.
"Zion, we need to find her before dark. Think about what would happen if we didn't find her tonight. She will wake up tomorrow without any memory or feelings for you." Maxine said.
He felt his chest tightens, thinking that she would completely forget everything. It would be dangerous if the Gods or some night howlers find her alone. His teeth gritted in anger.
He looked at the map again. Aramoor City was in the center of Oprea. The Werewolf Clan's territory was in the western part, while the Vampire Clan was in the east. In between lived the Fae Clan. And the Demon Clan's territory was in the southern region.
Zion was sure that Amaris would not go to Damien or the Fae's territory. He looked at the map where the Demon Clan resided; then he turned to Athanasia.
"She wanted to see Sura's mate. I told her about that girl." Athanasia said.
Zion frowned. That girl? The one who captured Sura's heart. The girl without a soul.
'Prepare the men. We will go to the Demon Clan's territory.' Zion told Cole using a mind link.
Amaris didn't know where to go. When she flew away from Zion, she just wanted to be alone for a while. But she didn't notice that she had gone too far from Verlice Castle.
She didn't know what direction she came from when she looked back. She continued to fly until she saw a huge castle.
The area was somehow dark and creepy. Small huts surrounded the place, and some parts of the land were burned. But what piqued her interest was one side of the territory was full of flowers.
She decided to check and flew down to what seemed like a secret garden. When she set foot on a path of roses, she was amazed to see the beauty of different flowers.
From above, the place was nothing but a barren piece of land. But if you look closer, it was different. There were a lot of flowers planted in various kinds and colors.
The garden was full of roses in different colors on one side. And on the other side, you'll find tulips in deep shades like purple and maroon, but pure white and yellow were also present.
Amaris saw a girl watering some hyacinths at the end of the narrow path. She had the same height as her. Her hair was a mixture of black on the head but grayish in the middle and white in the end.
"Hi!" She interrupted her.
The girl was startled and turned around to look at Amaris. She was surprised and didn't say a word. Amaris noticed that her eyes were silvery; it wasn't sparkling. It was lifeless and felt like she was looking at a corpse.
"I'm sorry I startled you. I lost my way and saw your garden. I got curious and wanted to see the flowers." She said, explaining what happened.
"Do you like flowers?" The girl suddenly asked.
She nodded and was about to say something when a man flew out of nowhere, rushing beside the girl. The man had waist-length black hair, a pair of red eyes, and long fangs from his mouth. He was half-naked, showing a dragon tattoo around his left arm. His wings were different from hers; they were huge and featherless, looking like a batwing.
"Who are you?" He asked while staring at me from head to toe.
"I'm sorry for stepping into your territory. I was lost and saw this garden from above. I was mesmerized by its beauty, so I came down here. I promise I mean no harm." Amaris answered.
The man frowned, pulling the girl behind her.
"Where did you come from? And why are you flying around our territory." He asked again.
"I came from Verlice Castle. I am Amaris, the Luna of the Blue Moon Pack. It was my first time flying, and I didn't notice I was already here." She introduced herself.
She wasn't sure if he had heard the news about her, but she still answered sincerely.
"You're Phelan's daughter." The man murmured.
Amaris was surprised but suddenly became nervous. She remembered her life was in danger because the Gods were looking for her. They may have hired someone to look for her.
The man knew what she was thinking by looking at her reaction. Amaris started to step backward and was ready to fly away when the man opened his wings wider. She thought he would attack her, but instead, he hid his wings and fangs.
Looking at the man now, he was good-looking. He had these godly features but with a demonic aura, making him more mysterious in every way. He looked at Amaris again.
"I am Sura. You are in the Demon Clan's territory. I am your father's brother.." He said.
