Chapter sixty sevenDraculI awoke with a feeling of intense foreboding, with my sharp ears I could hear the cries of war as it raged on not too far from me, why was I asleep, why was I not part of the fight, it didn't seem right that I wasn't part of it. Like a fog the veil was lifted and my memories fell like snow, blanketing all the crevices of my mind, Elena's scent, her voice and her tears, it seemed like she was here with me, but she wasn't, she was on her own in the battlefield, making the hardest and most terrible choice she could ever make, Elena was leaving me. The thoughts took a few seconds to settle in my head but when it did, a deadening roar escaped my lips and two leathery wings sprouted from my back, I took to the skies, angered and afraid, there was no way I'd let her do this at least not alone.The guards stationed to guard me seemed to have a field day bickering with one another, silently I unfurled my wings and took to sky burning a hole large enough for my esca

Chapter sixty sixDraculAt first I thought a sort of darkness had encroached the lands, but as we approached getting closer and closer, I realized that they were all men, dressed in armor, that resembled the very blackness of night on a closer look, with magical scouts and it was made known that the influence of Chaos had been far spread among them, drawing heavily on their very essence.The Shadow Army as I'd termed them had incited a deep fear in the once riotously psyched men and women and hushed montones and murmurings sifted it's way through the restless crowd, even the horses neighed in dismay and left to them, they'd have bolted out just like many of the faces."Sire," Alvarez's voice came through to me "They are rustlings in the group, how exactly do we win this war, we have planned but all in all this is not a man, neither is it a man's war, where exactly is Elena?"I stared on ahead, not meeting what I assume to be his heavy gaze, I could not tell him we were going to win,

chapter sixty fiveDraculaI burst out from the meeting hall, me alongside a dozen other men who were leaders in their own right. I bit back the order to send them back inside, but the chatter amidst them had already blossomed and the last thing I needed after that maddened announcement was to incite anger in our 'allies', I spotted Gulliver amidst the crowd and he clutched Elena tightly leading through the intent stares placed on her."What does the entity want with your wife?!" A loud prickly voice resonates through the fast growing crowd. The crowd seemed to part for her from her aged face, and dark eyes that glinted with a sense of maddened intelligence, the litter of her cane sent tremors through the crowd and that was what caused the parting, making way until I came eye to eye with the old crone. "Lady DaSilva of the Earthborns" She said curtsying really lowly and yet I could still sense the defiance rolling off of her "The enemy is upon us and war might begin in nothing short

Chapter sixty fourElenaMy body ached as I moved about, the castle had become more of a fortress with soldiers wide eyed and scary, and scared men alike roaming about, increasing chatters filled every nook and cranny, especially since the sky had taken on the reddish tinge and the wisps of Chaotic magic filled the air whispering and sowing vile seeds of fear in their hearts. I had enough weirdness going around from men gazing at me with reverence and communal, with a certain group of witches who seemed pretty intent on adding me into their coven.In the midst of this tumult and chaos, no pun intended, I'd barely been able to get a glimpse of Dracula, to even hope for some alone time with him was a dream I sparsely had enough time to think about it, Currently I sat listening to some sort of magical brigade intervention squad and even with the end of the world looking and everyone legitimately occupied, I'd just about had enough and I felt the insidious strain of a migraine coming on.

Chapter Sixty threeMiranda My hands shook with fears and madness, I couldn't move, a golden framework of spells netted me down, with the last of his life force Taisfet had cast two spells, One to send the wretched traitor Elena away and the other to tie me down to this damned place. Several days seemed to have passed by and the only sustenance I could get was from feeding Chaos into my body.The tree had wilted and crumbled around me and the last days of Order were wilting away, fading off and with each passing second Taisfet's spell waned off and I drowned in Chaos magic, my pale skin and blackened hands and pale almost white skin were proof of it's infestation, as I fed off it, the veins blackened and my thoughts loosened."Yes child!" Chaos Howled with glee "Embrace it! embrace the darkness, together we'll corrupt this mad world!"The golden binds flickered, I sneered at Taisfet's decomposing form, If only he'd just helped, things wouldn't have come to this, maybe Chaos was righ

chapter sixty twoGulliverThe clouds had darkened above the kingdom, between an oncoming war and a maddened unfit king, I pretty much had my hands filled up, although the straw that broke the camel's back would be Elena's sudden and abrupt disappearance with nothing but a note left behind in her stead, even as I read it over and over again, I could not get any proper emotion save for the intense burning rage that threatened to burn through me, How could she leave at a time like this?Every able bodied shifter folk had been stationed from the castle to the very border of the kingdom and yet a deep sense of foreboding filled me, almost as if I knew that she'd slip out, This was pure madness I wasn't cut out for this I wasn't-. "You know arching your back when doing the walk of intense thinking and also sitting down on that hard throne all day is bound to give you a hunch back." A voice said interrupting my spiralling train of thoughts."Whoever you are get the fuck-"The rest of the w

KENZY'S P.O.V.2 weeks later.It's been like ages since the last time Dylan kissed me on the forehead and said he loved me. Yeah, I knew Dylan had always been there for me and we had moved through this part together. Caring and loving like a normal married couple.I huffed, shutting my eyes and remembering everything that has happened so far.Yes, the truth of the matter remained that we both love each other but the circumstances of our marriage were slowly racing through my mind. I knew I was hungry for something extraordinary, something I feared that Dylan would give to me. A real marriage, a normal family. As the days keep rolling by I find myself afraid of the worst. I don't know why, but I have been having these crazy dreams about him slipping away from my hands, right in front of me. I'm not that type of frek that thinks so negatively and let it torture me in form of nightmares. This one just keeps happening, each time I shut my eyes and lay down to rest I keep seeing this beau

CHAPTER FORTY ONEI stared into Dylan's blanched face as they took me away, Inez made the atmosphere intense as he smirked.Victory written all over his face as I was gently taken away. Just like the scenes of an Indian movie, I turned backwards watching Dylan race towards but the bodyguards held him back. I could feel the agony and pains in his eyes but regardless I had to do this for him. I couldn't watch his pack become ruined because of me. As our eyes met one more time, I did what everyone in my shoes would have done. I shifted my gaze, to the door as tears rolled freely down my eyes. I knew this might be the last time my eyes will ever behold Dylan's wonderful face and we'll definited body but honestly, I didn't have a choice.I knew he would hate me for my decisions, but I don't care. What mattered more to me is the fact that I would be able to save his life and that of his pack.I gulped down, the pains of being taken away from your lover hit me like strain bullets and my ent

CHAPTER FORTYI froze at first before shrugging it off. There was no way a man like Daniel could be brother to someone as powerful and committed to his pack like Derek. Although I had to admit they both had an undeniable striking resemblance which makes me reconsider my thoughts. 'Are they actually brothers?' I snapped out of it soon as I saw a drop of blood dropping down from Daniel's face. I was furious and filled with anger and I dive towards Daniel."Let go of him! Daniel." I tried to sound as calm as possible.His weird smirk tells me something is wrong but I tired not to bother much about that. I don't know what's happening but in the next few minutes, rogues surrounded our pack. "It was a trap all along, Daniel had tricked me and with the way he was smirking, I sense everything isn't going to be fine! Derek's unusual silence caught my attention and I'm forced to look in his direction. I opened my lips to talk but figured out there wouldn't be any use for that. I could talk

CHAPTER THIRTY NineI wiped off the tears that had been falling freely down my face. I hate the fact that I'm torn in between two things I love the most. I kept running until I got to the end of the road. Now, I'm standing in front of the two paths. "Either way you will have to lose one." Daniel's words echoed in my head and I gulped, trying to figure out what to do next. Taking the right path would lead me to my Dylan, the man whom I treasured more than the entire universe and had more memories with. My existence was based on him and I couldn't imagine another day without him let alone lose him forever. Taking the right path, I will get to the pack house in no time, I will be able to warn the entire pack members and Derek will be able to help stop everything ahead of time. Speaking about time, I'm out of time! I barely have up to forty minutes to round up whatever I chose to do. I shut my eyes remembering what Raymond had taught me, back then when we used to be together, he said w

CHAPTER THIRY EIGHT"Do you think you'd be able to escape?" Daniel's hot breath feel on my neck.One thing was certain, I didn't care what the consequences of my actions are and I'm none apologetic about it.I inhaled sharply the breez, turning over to him with an indifferent look."Say what you want but don't you dare lay your filthy fingers on me." I warned with a stern look.The expression on his face showed he was amazed about the kind of woman I was. Fearless, bold and even sassy. Deep down, my head is a market place and I shiver as I don't know he was going to do next. I can only hope he doesn't hurt me and I desperately know I need to work on my tongue!"What makes you think I'd want to touch your body?" He asked with a deadpan face."I don't know but like I said, don't you fucking touch me." My eyes meets his and he grinned, devouring him with his hungry eyes as though I was some of meal.I roll my eyes really hard and sneared at him, he sighs and dragged me along like I was

CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN Deep down inside the forest, I am panting as drops of sweat race down my face.There is total darkness and I can barely make out anything.I tried to be as calm as possible, I had never been this careful, walking and praying I wouldn't end up making a single noise.I stopped on my track, looking backwards to see if anyone was behind me, but no, there was no rogue after me.Turning front, I discovered I didn't know which part to take. I was lost in this deep part of the forest. I began to panic, there was no escape for me, everyone had been taken down and I was the only person that made it out. 'Dylan!' his name rings bell in my mind and I am lost wandering where on Earth he must have gone to! Earlier at the restaurant, I became angry the moment I noticed it was another man holding me instead of Dylan. I opted to leave but he held me back. I discovered that I was not the only person who was attacked.The entire restaurant had been attacked, I flicked, pushing ba
