Losing the soul pearl on Ashedore’s 1000th anniversary was not as painful as the killing of his mother, the queen, in cold blood. Filled with rage, Zale must set out of the four seas on a journey to retrieve the soul pearl and enact his revenge. What he wasn’t expecting was the beguiling turn of events that the human world would bring. Pearl, a lively young maiden in Noterra, with hidden powers is ostracized by her peers and lives a calm life with her parents.

Along with his coming, her life is thrown into a chaotic and painful adventure, one more than she could ever imagine. Losing all she has ever loved, Pearl sticks to Zale and joins him on his mission. In the bid to get back the soul pearl, Zale and Pearl’s fate are entangled with love blooming and transcending amidst the clash of swords, betrayal, conspiracies and secrets. Left with a heritage that would change her fate, Zale’s painful revenge and a choice that endangers her very life, what decisions would Pearl make and what cruel fate awaits her for the choices made? ***Excerpt*** "Ah!" She yelped when she suddenly felt his body slide over her back and his semi-hard on land between her buttock cheeks. Fear erupted inside her as he cast his shadow over her. "Until when are you going to pretend and hide from me, my pearl?" His husky voice drew out close to her ear as he bit on top of her ear. Instinctively she bit her lips, feeling pleasure beginning to rise in her body. "Pearl." He licked the bite mark before kissing her neck, moving down to her shoulder and back, leaving small love bites in his wake. Noticing she had failed to cover herself in front of him, she attempted to do so but stopped halfway and let her hands down when he gave his order. "Stop hiding from me. I want to see you and touch you." She exhaled sharply. "Why do you keep on running?" "Y-you…" She hesitated but when he covered her left breast with his hand, giving a light squeeze, she moaned forgetting it all. "Tell me." His lips found her neck once more, leaving Pearl weak from the pleasure. "You said not to touch you," she managed to let out. He chuckled lightly and turned her in his arms so she was facing him. "I did, so?" "You…" He captured her lips, kissing her deeply before giving her a chance to catch her breath. "I did for your good." ************* Disclaimer: Cover Not Mine Read-only on WEBNOVEL ––––––––––– Discord server: http//discord.gg/BH666ZK Instagram: baevidaa Discord: BaeVida#7167 Youtube: https://youtube.com/channel/UC25S69WOTLDlvpL8GGjwi_A

CHAPTER 34 - This Cannot Be!
Normally Zale would not need her to do this before he healed up, but recalling he was far from the ocean and in his human form, he let go and behaved.
Pearl's eyes narrowed on his wound before lifting his shirt to stare at his perfectly toned muscles and abs.
She slowly let her fingers slide down the side of his injury before peeling her gaze from his body.
She watched him with teary eyes as he bit down lightly on his lips, trying to keep his mind in control.
He was hurting and she could see it. Beads of sweat had begun appearing on his forehead. The wound was deep and open.
"I need clean cloth and water to clean the wound," Pearl announced as she moved back to get those things from the bag on the ground.
Once she had the water gourd, she tore it from the hem of her gown and moved back to him.
"Sit."
Obeying her little command, he did as he was told. Within a few minutes, she went to work.
