Chapter 19~Zayne~I battled through to the front of the castle as a swarm of crowd ran against me. Clad in dark armour, they charged toward the heart of the kingdom, weapons glinting under the sun. I stood at the forefront, my powerful frame emanating authority and strength. My eyes narrowed as I called upon my warriors, the air filled with a deep tension as the Lycans transformed, their muscles rippling and fur bristling.“Warriors on my mark”We stood across the rebels in a fierce stallmate. Either of us is waiting for the other to make the first move. “Attack!!” With a fierce battle cry, we surged forward, engaging the intruders with primal ferocity.The clash of steel and the growls of Lycan warriors echoed through the night as they fought to protect the kingdom. I moved with agility and power.“Ahhh… “A rebel Lycan groaned in agony, my sword piercing into his flesh. I swing my blade almost effortlessly, chopping off their heads. “Ahh”A bite of one of the rebels pierced
Chapter 20~Luther~KNOCK KNOCK “Go away! I'm busy” I moaned to the person who stood at the door as I crossed my arms behind my head laying on my soft bed. Judging from the knock I could tell it was a girl. “It's me, Steph!” she said, her voice tense. I rolled my eyes, disinterested by her presence. “Come in”She entered my room, her face worried. “My sister was kidnapped, Luther”“What! How?”I was shocked to hear that. No woman has quite caught my fancy the way Emily did and I would like to pleasure myself with her, at least once. “It was the rebels that attacked us earlier. We need to rescue her”My pupils narrowed as I heard Steph’s words. Rescue? God forbid I risk my life, I lust for Emily but I won't risk my life for her. “NO, Steph we’ll leave that to my brother and the warriors”KNOCKKNOCK Another knock came again, this time with more force and strength used. “Get in!”“Why are you here Thorn?”Thorn walked in, he wore a small smirk across his face.“Steph, can y
Chapter 21~Zayne~“Rowan? You're back!” Rowan's sudden appearance left me starstrucked, I couldn't contain the excitement. I rose to my feet at once. “Yes my Lord”Rowan said his voice was firm as he gently approached us and gave me a warm and light hug before he took a seat next to me. Thorn and Luther watched him, their brows furrowed as they wore an ugly frown. “Rowan….. It's a pleasure for you… back” Luther said, he struggled to say the words. He struggled to hide his disgust and annoyance for Rowan. There was an uneasy feeling in the room. Tension in the room was thickening every moment. “As I said Emily is not going anywhereShe has been nothing but loyal to her…. ““Loyal? Are you sure?” Rowan hardly finished when Luther interrupted him, the tension only worsening. “Why did Emily try to seduce me the other night when I was drunk”Seduce? I was stunned by Luther's accusations. Emily isn't that type of lady, she has self respect. She couldn't possibly have done so. “Lie
Chapter 22~Reta~We walked into the castle, darkness loomed over the castle and shadows at various corners. We stood at the center of the castle yard. There was an uneasy silence which filled the castle. “Hello?”I yelled out my voice echoing through the void. I tried to get their attention but there was no reply. “Reta we should go back somethings not right”Luther's words reached my ears and then suddenly my eyes went black. “Let me go!”I squealed out as the strong palm of a creature pressed my eyes. I struggled as hard as I could. “Mhmmm..mm” he placed his other hand on my mouth and nostrils.I could only mumble to his palms. Gradually my body weakened more and more, I struggled to breath as my eyes gently shut close into darkness. My eyes fluttered open into darkness. My mind was still clouded as I struggled to gain my bearings. “Thorn? Reta?” a feint voice reached my eyes. Luther! “Luther where are we?” I asked Luther my voice tense, my heart racing. I could only lay
Chapter 23~Zayne~ScrrrrrhhhhThe wheels of my car scratched against the harsh surface of the room as I brought it to a halt. “Phew!”I took in a deep breath as I stood in front of the cemetery gates. I shivered to the harsh cold that filled the darkness of the night. I decided to drop by to see Maya, my wife, after all it's been a long while. I went without the consent of anybody, not even Rowan. The only thing I told him was if I was not in my room by morning, he should check for me in the forest. I only had less than an hour to get in and take my medicine before the curse happened. I entered the cemetery as my eyes went searching for Maya’s grave. I couldn't help but have the feeling of spirits looming in every shadow. “Maya, a lot has been happening, you know?” I sat next to her grave not before dropping a banquet of flowers. “A few nights ago I almost died trying to save my maid. Rowan got arrested, but now he's out, they couldn't hold him for long” I chuckled. “Lut
Chapter 24~Luther~“What are we going to do Reta!” I paced around my room, my body tense and restless. Tomorrow, Zayne and the others will head out to the vampire kingdom for a truce. Vodka will definitely tell him about the intruders, about us. “Calm down Luther, we’ll think of something” Reta said, her voice still calm, which could not but amaze.How could she be this calm in a time like this? “Reta, this is your fault, I told you we couldn't trust the vampires and now look” I poured out my anger on Reta, it really didn't seem to affect her. Her expression barely changes. She remained calm as ice, as she sat on my couch her legs crossed. “I have an idea Luther, you can shut up and listen or keep on nagging”She talked with a certain elegance which upsets me. I felt like ripping her head out of her body, but for now I need her. “We'll talk!” my voice thundered through the room, I was getting tense and impatient. “You and Thorn will follow them to the vampire kingdom, you make
Chapter 25~Zayne~I frozed at the spot, as I remained silent to his offer.No war for our humans, for Emily. No, I can't give away Emily. “NO! That's impossible” I outright disagreed with Vadka. Vadka raised his eyebrows in disbelief. Humans may have taken Maya from me, but over time I've learnt not all human beings are evil, especially not Emily and Steph. “Zayne, we have to agree with it, after all their only maids to us”Luther whispered to my ear. “Are you mad? Luther!” his words ticked me off. I hate it when someone calls Emily a maid, I even hate myself when I do. She might be a maid, but to me, she's my source of joy and happiness. “Zayne, you're a smart man, so think this through. It's a simple offer, you're human residents or your castle falls apart and I take the humans either way”Vadka said his voice very cunning and manipulative. “You heard me Vadka, no deal!” I stood up slamming the table hard as I raised my voice in anger, causing an I easing loud noise, bu
Chapter 26~Emily~“Ahhh..” I woke up to the bright sun, its rays casting a luminous light at my face. My eyes fluttered open, my mind clouded by the scene of a new day. I took a sheepish glance at the wall clock, knowing fully well I was late, but yet hoping for the contrary. “Fuck!”The wall clock read 8:15 am, I was at least fifteen minutes late. I jumped off my bed at once as I rushed to the bathroom to get freshened up. I dashed to the castle's kitchen, but to my surprise I wasn't welcomed by Crystal's morning frown. Crystal was nowhere to be found. “Hey, you're a bit late today, by the way I'm Flora” a young female voice reached my ears. I was dazzled by her beauty. Her golden braids were such where women died. Her skin loomed like the sun. She wore a soft smile which seemed to warm my heart. “Okay nice to meet you, Flora, I'm Emily” I collected the tray from her and rushed upstairs. I couldn't even spare time to ask her Crystal's whereabouts. When I reached Zayne's r
