It is an interesting feeling, the feeling of desperation. It was a weirder feeling to feel relief after a situation that one deemed is unsolvable.
I rushed back to my Palace to get ready for the war, To fight alongside my men, just like the Lycan Beast had instructed me to do so. There are not many instances where I felt so excited, where I felt show to the brim with anticipation. As a Lycan Beast had promised me that he will assist the war we are having amongst our neighbors, I could not help but get it tiniest bit of worry. and yet, I had tried my best to eliminate those unsettling thoughts and surrender to the process as for once I did not have to struggle all by myself due to my proud nature.
My worries had been rooted in not knowing how the Lycan BEast was going to help me and my country, but I had already agreed to pay any price that he would set for me in exchange for his favor. Frankly, I had no conditions to be able to bargain the Almighty Beast. I rode my h
After a while, just as I was finishing up getting ready to ride my horse to the war zone, I heard a knock on all my gold-plated doors. I order whoever knocking to enter, only to be in eye contact with Jasmine. I wanted to admit that she was right, I wanted to admit that I was indeed stupid. I just did not know where to start or how to start talking. Lucky for me, Jasmine saved me from my thoughts and asked “so, have you made your decision already? “ “I did,” I responded, “As much as I hate to admit that I need help, I need help, Jasmine. I need your help.” “I will be ready in a heartbeat,” Jasmine said with a smile on her face and left my room to get ready herself for the fight. On our way to the war grounds, I could not help but wonder why the Lycan Beast wanted me to be at the war zone to be able to help me. Maybe he wanted for me to witness his favor with my own eyes, maybehe wanted to show me how he kept his promises. Or maybe, just maybe, he want
I blinked slowly to indicate I was, indeed, lost. “Excuse me?” “I was asking if you had understood what our strategy had been so far, Your majesty. How would you like to proceed, now that you are here?” So this must have what it felt like to be in charge of thousands of people. As I had to think on my feet, I replied, “We shall continue the planned strategy for me to observe the performance. We can regroup and restrategize after the initial attack. The strategies tend to unravel differently on paper and in real life, as you must know a lot better than I do, General.” “We still need your input, Your Majesty, after all, you are here representing our Head of State, Your Father the King.” “I am not representing the Head of State, General, I am the Head of State, interim now, permanent eventually. I invite you to remeöber who you are talking to. Proceed with your strategy and later we can deliberate further.” And with that, we got out of the commanding
A roar had risen from within me: “I made your wish come true, now I will reap my payment.” I could feel all of the hair at the back of my neck rising, I knew that I was done for, one way or another. I turned to Jasmine in worry, “Did you hear that?” she shook her head. “I order you to appear before me, tonight. I can not promise what were to happen if you back off our deal.” I turned back to my handmaiden, whose face was now painted with concern. “He is summoning me,” I said, choking, “He is summoning me to reap his due.” “So soon?” “Apparently,”I collapsed on my knees. “I do not think I can do this, Jasmine. I feek like I am way over my head.” “You do not have to do this all by yourself, Your Majesty. We can come with you, we can join you. If you would not want me you can always get some guards with you. Your safety comes first.” I refused as I wiped my tears into my sleeve. “I started this on my own, I will end it on my own.” I r
“I am sorry the mighty, but I think that we have opposing opinions towards your proposal. you seem to be thinking that you are presenting me an opportunity of a lifetime, whereas the only thing that I can see in your proposal is how you are trying to take an advantage of the power imbalance that we have at the given moment.” Oh, you misunderstood me, Your Majesty. It was not a proposal, it was a demand. I will wreak havoc on you and your country if you reject. You would not want to test me, Princess, a good leader always honors their promises, whether they like it or not. I will give you a week for you to go back to your Palace, only to come back once the time is up. But you must understand that that time period is not for you to make a decision, Your Majesty, it is to arrange your affairs before we wed under the full moon by the end of the week.” I jumped back on violet and kick her a bit harder than I would usually do to get her to go back to my Palace. I c
NIA - year 2021 There it was. The nightmare… Once again making me jump out of the bed in the middle of the night. It was the same thing every time. I would run through Dark Forest, wearing a yellow ball gown, tugging on the brims of my dress, screaming “please don't die, please don't leave me,” in the painful voice. I would trip up a fallen tree branch and fall face-first into a pile of crimson leaves. as I hit the ground, the scenery changes color I will be on my knees hugging a brunette girl I had never seen before. I would be bending over her, crying, on her, trying to stop her from Bleeding Out. I would try to clothes of her wound with my hands, I would beg people around me to help me. I had once tried to explain my dream to my therapist, I think it's was the second or third time I saw it. I asked her what it could have meant, I asked her why I would be waking up panting and screaming no into the air despite the dream not having any
Unlike many part-timers, I didn't actually mind Saturdays. Saturday's where one of my least busy days. I had only had to work House of the day, and I would have the rest of the day to myself. I was particularly happy this month as I got the chance to work with my best friend Bella. we would meet up in front of the subway station that is a block away from the restaurant, and walk to work together. By the time we would arrive at the front door, we would pretty much go through all of the work-related gossip. “You seem extra gloomy today, chirped Bella. oh how I would wish to be a morning person like her. “I think last week's turnout is finally catching up to me,” I replied trying to keep my eyes open. “You know how won’t feel how tired you actually are until you stop? that is exactly how I'm feeling at this very moment. I can't wait for my shift to be over, so I can go back to my dorm and sleep until the next morning.” “ no you can't!” said Bella, looking li
“I see a beautiful house filled with love,” she continued, completely ignoring my question. “I see growth, I see Trust between two people who love each other so dearly. I see crowded parties, champagne flowing, chandeliers gleaming. Ah, you have a wonderful life waiting for you.” “I don't think I can have a life as you described,” I replied almost bittersweetly, “those kind of lives are quite unachievable, especially for a girl like me.” “Nonsense,” she replied with a soft but assertive tone. You will be well-respected, well-celebrated, and you will build the most beautiful family. You will have a daughter,” she continued with a softer voice, “you will have a beautiful daughter and her birth will bring lots of Celebration. I see lots of rose imagery, both related to your relationships and to your daughter. I see an oak tree, I can even smell freshly varnished wooden furniture it smells like one of those cabins that you would stay. Ever been to one?” “I shook
I often found myself like I did not deserve her, as she had been so loyal to me. I was never one to be affectionate towards my loved ones, I had always been a bit more distant, no matter what I had done. I did not know why I was like that, it could be because I have been left all by myself whenever I actually love someone, it had always ended with me in a heartbreak. I was aware of my world, I was aware of what they were doing to me, but I was so happy in my comfort zone that I couldn't bring myself to bring them down. The only thing that I could do, the only thing that was left for me to do, let's feel grateful for those who are willing to stay by my side in spite of my walls. “Are you going back to the dorm?” Bella asked, bringing me back to the real-life from the dark depths of my thoughts as we walked out of the subway. I nodded to show my approval. “Okay then, be careful, okay? I will be a bit later today, I'll call you when I'm done.” I clumsily wrapped one of my arms
Drakes Pov “So you found the location of the White Lion,” Drakes stated with a blank look as he stood not facing his new injured visitors with his hands behind his back. “Yes Master, but we barely escaped with our lives for he is too powerful. The magic you gave us is also not affective against him for he deflected it back to me.” Leona replied while still clutching on to her stomach where her biggest injury was. Her sister Leyva also stood next to her having recovered but with injuries and was also wincing from her own injuries.“So its just as I thought. Aladdin’s magic and Alucard`s Powers alone will not be enough, I need to get more physical strength plus numbers by going after the White Wolf first.” Drakes stated while rubbing his chin in thought.“But still, you FAILED. This is the second time you witch sisters. You managed to also lose my newly acquired kin, the Vampire King Adrian.” Drakes continued but now with malice in his voice.
Elise Pov After that first mysterious roar, I heard Leona`s scream as if someone had attacked her. Then I felt the hands of someone hugging me.“Luke,”’ I whispered as soon as I felt the familiar sparks, although I still did not have my sight back and was still in darkness.“Yes, it is me I got you,” he responded while hugging me tightly and making my heart calm.“How DARE YOU COME HERE AND DISTURB MY SLEEP?” The loud powerful voice ROARED again. Igniting another earthquake tremor and whirling wind. I could feel as that caused us to be thrown and fly high in the air. Then to only land painfully further away, rolling into the grass.I also heard the pained sounds of Leona, Leyva and Adrian; seems they were also being thrown around too. The power of this Roar was sparing no one.As for us, Luke was the only one to release the pained sound as he took the whole fall, making me land on top of him, like a pillow.“What is causing that,” I cou
Elise POV Lydia duplicated herself into her twenty clones and they were the first to come and attack me.Grinding my teeth against each other in anger, I confidently stood there waiting for them to reach me. I could feel my hair becoming wet and even counted the number of droplets hitting against my face and flowing down.As soon as they did reach me, a switch flipped in my head and I was soon moving in sync with the blade in my hand. Killing as many Lydia clones as I could.Instead of a trail of Lydia bodies in my wake, seems that every time they died. The clones disappeared into black smoke instead of dead bodies.But Lydia kept on redoing the spell, spawning more and more to replace each that I killed.I quickly realized that they wanted to tire me so they could easily blast their spells at me like last time.But I had no choice so I continued fighting and killing with no thought of giving up.A small smile came on to my face as I not
Elise POV “So my mother, met the Magical White Lion in the Amazonian forest?” Luke first said,“At least it did not say the moon, for that would have made this harder for us.” He added with a relieved look.“Lets go and find him then,” I said to him as we got up.“I would come too, but from what you guys told me, I cannot wear my sun ring and will continued staying indoors instead. I have enough animal blood stocked to last a last time,” as Kim mentioned animal blood, I was a bit surprised for because of her red eyes and hate for humans I had thought that she drank human blood from blood banks. Like the other rich elite Vampire who had money.But then I realised why her eyes turned red, it was when she saved Adrian, drinking the blood of her soulmate and killing him.“Kim, can I bring my mother here? She also has no sun ring and I don’t want to worry for her safety.” I stopped walking and turned around to ask her.She first glared at me, no
Elise Pov “Luke whose place is this?” I could not help but ask as we arrived at teleported right outside the Gothic looking Mansion.“This is Kim`s home.” As soon as he replied that, I quickly glared at him!Like what the hell?“One I do not get along with that rude vampire female and secondly she could be under Drakes control and thirdly why again?” I quick shouted with another deeper glare. “Kim`s mother Annie who was a Vampire historian used to always be at the castle recording my mother’s stories. Its how they became friends and why Kim was always around us as kids.”“I never got along with her, for instead of playing with me, my Twin Adrian was always following her around like a lovesick fool. So I played boy stuff with Trey instead.” Luke continued.“So we are just only here to get this book,” I asked again with a frown. And yes I was secretly jealous hoping Luke did not also like her too like Adrian did. For if so, I was ready for a
Elise POV “Still, the only way he would get Alpharix to show up is through his daughter. I need to contact Ariel! For she is still in danger with her wolf.” Luke quickly stated in panic making me realize that he was right for the magical wolf was still a father.And as a father, he would do anything for his daughter and Wolf pup Luna.“I would teleport us to their home base right away, but being rogues they never stay in one place and are always traveling. Every time I talk with Ariel she always seems to be in some other new location, or in a boat or some plane.” As Luke said this, he ran his hands through his silky hair worriedly.And We knew Wayne and his friends may still have not yet reached them to report.I then looked to see Luke move to take the slumbering Lycan King`s phone, right from his pocket as he slept.Luke had lost his own phone during the fight with his brother and I lost mine a long time ago.“Of course, the password woul
Elise`s POV My mother quickly brought a cloth and water so we could clean up the deep wound.Emma also brought a first aid kit box, so I could disinfect and bandage him up.“He will be okay, don’t worry too much.” I heard my mom say. This was after we were done as she saw the scared look on my face as I stared at his now sleeping form.“I hope so, because I cannot survive without him,” I replied in a low voice as she left, not wanting her to hear my sullen reply.I decided to take a shower first for I was still in my prom dress. Another now ruined dress but this one was worse for it was coated in the blood of those I had failed to save.What was it with me and attending functions? Only for them to end up in disaster? From now on I refused to attend another prom, ball, or some shady auctions. I was done with all kinds of parties and events.But as I now stood in the shower, busy washing my hair. I finally let the tears i had been holding thi
Elise`s POV It was Kiala`s date Wayne, He looked just as horrified as I was by all that was happening. "Hmm, a Werewolf Rogue, figures. But don't worry, for soon, I shall be able to control your kind too." Drakes stated as he noticed Wayne at the same time too."You are a monster!" Wayne instead growled back while trying to prevent Tiffany and Kiala, from killing each other."Wayne, take them to safety, please," I managed to shout while also battling some of the zombies. Every time I killed my now zombified classmates, they kept on rising again. Tiffany and Kiala were not dead yet and they could be saved. "What about you," The werewolf Rogue growled back, "Just go, I will survive. GO NOW!" I shouted so he could see how serious I was. "I will try to get help for you." He replied with a nod while knocking both screaming girls out and then carrying them with his werewolf strength. From the way he was gently carrying Nia, I coul
Elise`s POV “Yes, he makes me happy. I feel as if my life is now finally complete because of now having him by my side. He told me that he would even give me the world and anything I desired.” She replied with another happy look of someone in love. She took a glass of the red punch from a waiter and held it in her hands, swirling it around. I also took one and started drinking it too after we did a cheer.Still, I was now busy hoping Emma, would be quick in bringing Luke here. I needed my date so we could dance together and make memories.But while looking around the room, my gaze immediately froze as I stared at something distasteful. “Lydia!” I angrily shouted as there that Witch stood. How dare she show up here? After what they did to me.She was also dressed for prom with her triplet sisters next to her. There all wore dresses matching with their hair colors; Black, Purple, and Orange.“Dear Elise. Always so fiery. But tod
