Episode 3

1831...

Days later...

"Prince Victorio narrates."

I am the prince of vampires and alpha of the wolves, I am 30 years old. Soon I will be the king of both species. My parents are the protagonists of the legend that is so heard in the streets. The crazy lovers who challenged the world.

They met when they were very young. I still have to find my mate, I am anxious to do so. During my mating time, I can only be with humans, I don't touch the she-wolves and female vampires, I don't want them to get their hopes up with me.

Humans are beautiful but I am already craving the moment to find that person who takes my breath away. Who keeps me awake at night and gives me children. Hopefully, she will be a fertile she-wolf. Then I will have them immediately.

Today is the tournament where wolves, vampires, and witches gather. I will probably find my mate today. I have heard of a half vampire half witch who has been winning a lot lately. I am curious to meet her. Magic is forbidden in these tournaments, but she still wins. I hope my mate is someone strong like her. Fertile and strong. That's all I ask.

The tournament started and I caught a scent of mint with guava, something very peculiar. I followed the scent and found a dark-haired woman with blue eyes. She is beautiful and perfect. But it seems she is a vampire. She won't be fertile. But I don't care. When you meet your mate, nothing else matters. You just want to be with her. And that's what I'll do.

...Yulexi...

I was getting ready for the tournament when I smelled pineapple, it was delicious. I started to follow the scent and bumped into a beautiful man. Black hair, green eyes. Tall, muscular. I can't believe it, my mate.

"Mine." He said and hugged me.

"Yours." I responded as the enamored woman I am. It is supposed that witches are not affected much by love, but I am half vampire, I suppose that's why.

"I am Victoriano." He greeted. I was amazed, I never imagined that my mate would be the future king. I imagined any other alpha but not him.

"Hi... I am... Yulexi." I got a little nervous, that man is imposing with his presence and his beauty.

"You are beautiful. I got the most beautiful moon in the world." He gave me a small kiss on the lips. "Good luck, my moon."

"Thank you." He walked away and I stayed there, mesmerized, looking at him. He is truly beautiful, Mother Moon has been very generous to me. "Thank you, Mother Moon." I turned to where Victoriano was and he smiled at me. I smiled back and kept thinking about how lucky I am.

"The first numbers gather on the battlefield." That was the announcement that the tournament had started. My friends were among the first to go. They got matched against wolves, so they lost.

"Good luck next time."

"I hate the wolves." Aristeo said.

"Calm down."

"If only they would let us use our magic."

That was something that bothered me too.

"Look, it's Guillermo's turn."

Aristeo and I paid attention. Guillermo defeated a vampire. We both celebrated.

He got matched against a wolf and couldn't beat him. They are stronger, so it's rare for a witch to defeat them. Aristeo defeated one two years ago. Now that they faced each other, he couldn't land a single hit. I think these tournaments are unfair, they should allow us to use our magic. As soon as I become queen, I will talk to Victoriano and ask him to allow that.

The fights continued and finally, it was my turn. To my surprise, Evelin was my opponent. I couldn't believe it. Ever since I defeated her a few years ago, her family left, it was a disgrace for a witch to defeat a noble-blooded she-wolf.

"Long time no see." She said. It seems like she was eager for this moment to arrive.

"Did you miss me?" I asked with a smile.

"I longed for the moment to beat you, you cursed one."

It seems she still holds a grudge against me.

Evelin attacked me right away, I was a bit distracted, but I managed to dodge the blow. She kept throwing punches and one hit me in the stomach. I started bleeding. She is very strong and fast.

I tried to hit her but couldn't land a single blow. Evelin transformed into a wolf and I didn't know anything else.

I just woke up and it seems I am in the hospital. My parents are here.

"Water."

My mother handed me a glass.

"Where am I?"

"In the hospital." My mother confirmed my suspicions.

"How long have I been here?"

"Three months."

"What? Three months? How hard did that stinky she-wolf hit me?"

"That's right, Evelin hit you really hard, and she used a poison that would have killed you if you didn't have magic in your veins."

"But that's not fair. Is she already in the dungeon?"

My parents turned to look at each other without saying anything.

"I can't believe it, how dare she try to kill her moon? She will receive the punishment she deserves. I'm sure Victoriano is already taking care of her."

"Moon?" My parents asked, very surprised.

"Victoriano is my mate, I found him. Aren't you happy for me?" They were very serious. Could it be that they don't want to let me go? "Dad, Mom, I'm an adult now, it's normal for me to live my own life. Be happy for me. I found a very good mate."

"Yes, of course. We're happy." But it didn't seem like it to me.

(Morgana's parents decide to take her away before she knows the truth. They will tell her later, when she is more recovered. They know it will be a great pain for her, but it's better for her to suffer now than to live in a lie.)
