News Around The World

News traveled fast, faster than any courier, faster than the wind, and certainly faster than most kings could control. The whispers began in the capital: the goddess herself had appeared at the baptism of Jay Astrelia, the young Omega prince of Astrelia. The event was historic. Five hundred years had passed since her presence had been recorded in the mortal realms, and now, she had descended to bless a single child-a child of unusual birth, gifted with the rare Versa trait.

Word spread first among the nobility, then across neighboring kingdoms. By the third day, every major city, every magical enclave, and every renowned academy for gifted beings knew: Jay Astrelia, the prince with both Alpha and Omega potential, had received the goddess’s favor.

The implications were staggering. It was not just a blessing. It was a signal-a declaration that his soul was extraordinary, that his life would ripple across nations, races, and magical lineages.

At the Astralis Academy, a school renowned for training young mages and warriors, students whispered in corridors crowded with enchanted banners and floating lights.

“He’s… he’s been blessed by the goddess? After five centuries?” one young elf gasped, ears twitching nervously. “I thought the tales were only stories.”

“It’s true,” another replied, a high elf with silver hair and glowing eyes. “Reports say the goddess spoke directly to him. Said he is Versa. That’s… unprecedented. The boy’s power alone could rival kingdoms by the time he reaches adulthood.”

The news reached the dwarven stronghold of Khar’Zor, where blacksmiths and rune masters paused their hammering. “A Versa?” grumbled a veteran dwarven knight. “Never heard of one in our records. A child that can carry life and create life… this changes everything.”

Far away, in the sky cities of the Avian clans, winged beings murmured and flitted about nervously. “He’s not even twenty,” a young hawk-winged mage observed, “and the goddess has marked him. What chance do we have against him or with him?”

It was not long before the races began to act. Across continents and realms, families, noble houses, and even solitary warriors began to petition, travel, and prepare to present themselves as potential mates.

At the Lycans’ Silvermoon Pack, Alpha candidates trained harder than ever, polishing claws, practicing bonding rituals, and demonstrating prowess in combat. “If the goddess blessed him, he’ll choose someone worthy,” growled a silver-furred Alpha, pacing the halls. “I will not fail. Not for anyone.”

Meanwhile, in the elven kingdoms, rival houses sent their best diplomats and warriors, skilled in magic, charm, and seduction. They studied ancient texts, trying to discern what kind of heart would appeal to a prince favored by the goddess herself. “We must present the perfect candidate,” a silver-haired princess whispered to her sister. “The blessing is a rare opportunity. Only one could be chosen, and every mistake will be remembered.”

Even non-humanoid races joined the fray. Dragons, serpentine beings, and elemental creatures all fascinated by the idea of an Omega prince blessed by a deity began to send representatives to Astrelia. Whispers spoke of a blue-scaled dragon, elegant and proud, claiming descent from a line that had guarded the goddess’s sacred realm for centuries. “I am the ideal mate,” it hissed to its council. “If he seeks power, I can provide. If he seeks loyalty, I can bind myself with blood.”

In the merfolk cities, under the sapphire waves, rumors spread of the prince’s baptism with magical currents carrying the news. Young mermaids and mermen practiced new courtship rituals, perfecting their songs and magical charms in anticipation of being noticed. “The goddess herself blessed him,” one said, her voice bubbling with excitement. “He must be extraordinary. I must be extraordinary too.”

Even human nations without direct ties to magic were abuzz with gossip. Spies, nobles, and adventurers began plotting to present themselves as mates or to gain favor in other ways, perhaps as allies or protectors. Every scroll, every message, and every report seemed to contain a single repeated theme: the prince blessed by the goddess, the one marked by divinity, was now the pivot of the world’s attention.

At Astrelia itself, courtiers began to adjust their schedules, ensuring proximity to Jay. Messengers came and went constantly, each seeking the favor of a prince whose destiny had now been irrevocably entwined with divine attention. Some sought his hand for love, some for power, some simply for survival.

In one ornate hall, a young human male of noble descent adjusted his ceremonial robes, staring at the portraits of past kings. “I will go,” he murmured. “I will present myself as a candidate. If the goddess favors him, then I must be worthy of that attention.”

Across the forests of the Sylvan clans, an elf of striking green eyes and long golden hair practiced spells and incantations late into the night. He whispered to the stars above, “May the goddess see my intent, for I will not fail in presenting myself as worthy.”

Meanwhile, in the mountain fortresses of dwarves, a young Alpha polished his sword until it gleamed like molten silver. “If he is truly the child of divine blessing, then I will ensure he never doubts my loyalty. I will be the mate the gods themselves would approve.”

Even within the imperial courts of Astrelia, members of foreign nobility sent lavish gifts, magical trinkets, and enchanted scrolls in an attempt to court attention. Each gift was accompanied by a letter, carefully worded to impress, to charm, or to intimidate. Some offered knowledge of secret magics, others promised protection and power, and a few even promised their very lifespans in service.

The press of magical societies, always eager for sensational news, began reporting every movement, every whisper, and every sighting of the prince. Reports claimed that he was the rarest of the rare-a Versa, blessed by a goddess, already commanding attention from nearly every race across known realms. Each article sparked more desire, more competition, and more anticipation.

Even without seeing Jay, the candidates began forming rivalries. Wolves bickered with elves over who would prove most loyal. Dragons scowled at merfolk, claiming that strength and honor outweighed beauty and song. Each believed their qualities would appeal to the prince, yet none could predict his heart or his choices.

Among all the chaos, some whispered rumors spread further than any official report. The goddess’s voice had not only blessed him but also warned him of unseen guides. Some speculated the warning applied to magical beings, others thought it referred to ancient spirits or mystical artifacts. Whatever the truth, the mysterious presence added another layer of intrigue to the already explosive contest for attention.

In the far reaches of the desert realms, a nomadic Alpha trained his mind and body, ensuring that when he arrived in Astrelia, he would present himself as strong, clever, and irresistible. “A blessing from the goddess,” he muttered, adjusting his ceremonial mask. “I cannot fail.”

  • A King Does Not Walk Alone

    The throne hall doors shut behind them, and instantly Jay felt the weight of every crown in the world settle squarely on his shoulders. The air still tasted like the proclamation. High King. A title carved into the bones of history. The kind of title that could rewrite the world.Which was very inconvenient for someone who preferred books over political warmongering.Jay exhaled shakily. Luther remained exactly one step behind him… habit, respect, survival instinct… who knew. Jay turned and raised an eyebrow.“You walk beside me now,” he said, quiet but firm. “Not behind.”Luther froze. “Jay, I’m still of lower rank. It’s disrespectful to-”“Luther.” Jay stepped forward and took his wrist, gently pulling him to his side. “You were marked by me. You carry my future. You are one of my mate. And my mates should not walk behind anyone.”Luther swallowe

  • Day 7 With Luther: An Empire Kneels To One Heart

    The throne hall always felt too large, too grand, too carved out of legend for Jay to fit comfortably inside. Today, it felt worse. The crimson banners of Astrelia hung like watching eyes, and golden sunlight poured through the mosaic windows as if the sun itself wanted to judge him.Jay entered with the stiff posture of a prince who had not expected to become important overnight. Luther walked just behind him, the picture of composed elegance… and also wearing an outfit designed to make Jay’s brain short-circuit. A white off-shoulder crop top, sheer sleeves flowing like moonlight, and those white genie pants that fit his waist in a way that should honestly be illegal.Jay tried very hard not to look. He failed instantly.They stopped before the dais. Both bowed. The King and Queen stood tall, regality woven into their bones.The King spoke first, his voice carrying authority that shook the chandeliers.“Jay Varel Astrelia. The G

  • Day Six With Luther: People Should learn how To Knock

    Morning had the audacity to show up.Not that Jay was properly asleep. He had spent the last hour staring at Luther and trying not to panic about the glowing Sun Mark declaring a royal baby was now officially baking inside him. A child. An heir. Political dynamite with tiny socks.Luther, meanwhile, was sleeping peacefully in Jay’s arms like he hadn’t just upended empires and destinies overnight.Jay brushed a hand through his assistant’s silver hair, still trying to digest reality.A baby.His baby.The universe must really enjoy pranking princes.Before he could sink into deeper spiraling, the door slammed open without warning.“JAY! BREAKFAST!” Seraphine yelled… then froze.Behind her came all his siblings like a stampede of nosy royals: Theo, Celeste, Yven, Lucien… and of course, Crown Prince Aldrin .Jay and Luther jerked upright.Sheets slid just enough to s

  • Day Five With Luther: Falling Asleep Together

    The palace was unusually quiet that night. Jay lay awake, thoughts swirling like a storm, unable to forget Luther’s intensity from earlier. Every glance, every brush of his hand, lingered in Jay’s mind, making his chest ache in ways he didn’t quite understand.A soft knock interrupted his thoughts. “Jay? Are you awake?” Luther’s voice was low, almost hesitant.Jay sat up, rubbing his eyes. “Couldn’t sleep again?”Luther nodded, hesitating at the door. “Should I… stay?”Jay lifted a corner of the blanket, smirking slightly. “Only if you're not here to guard me. Obviously.”Luther’s lips twitched into a small smile as he stepped inside, closing the door softly behind him. He climbed onto the bed carefully, sitting at the edge before letting himself fall back, his shoulders relaxing only slightly. Jay’s heart thudded at the sight of him so close, the warmt

  • Day Four With Luther: The Ball and the Unspoken Steps

    The grand ballroom glittered with candlelight and crystal chandeliers. A soft sea of gowns and uniforms shimmered across polished marble floors, and the faint scent of roses and lavender mingled with the warm, golden glow. Tonight, the palace celebrated not just Jay’s upcoming coronation but his coming of age-a ceremonial acknowledgment of his eighteen years and the divine blessing that had set the world abuzz.Jay adjusted the cuff of his uniform nervously, catching sight of his reflection in a gilded mirror. Everything was perfect-the embroidery, the sash, the polished boots-but nothing felt as perfect as the heat pooling in his chest whenever he thought of Luther.A gentle tap on the shoulder pulled him from his thoughts.“Your Highness,” Luther murmured, bowing slightly before straightening. His uniform was tailored impeccably, black with silver trim, and his hair was neatly arranged-but a few strands rebelliously curled over his forehead,

  • Day 3 With Luther: Nightfall, and the Unspoken Invitation

    The evening sun spilled warm gold across the palace gardens. Jay and Luther had spent the day in a quiet rhythm training, reading, and teasing but as night crept in, an unspoken tension settled like a soft, heavy blanket between them.Jay stretched lazily on a chaise in his chambers, watching the shadows deepen. The library and training yard had been exhausting, but in the best way. His hair stuck to his forehead from exertion, and his heart still thudded from laughter, arguments, and those lingering touches from earlier.A soft knock came at the door.“Your Highness?” Luther’s voice drifted in, gentle, cautious. “May I… come in?”Jay smiled faintly. “I was hoping you would.”Luther entered, careful as ever, though his presence seemed to take up the entire room. He carried nothing but a small tray of tea and a soft, earnest expression. The silver in his eyes reflected the dim candlelight, and Jay fel
