Vladimir did not look a day over eighteen, was a handsome young man, and for the life of Zande and Xavier. They could not understand why this kid was called an elder and at first glance, the young man looked innocent. “Well?” he raised an eyebrow looking at Anton ignoring the two like they were not even there. “Vladimir, this is my first cousin and his friend. They are just passing through and he thought of visiting me.” Xavier noticed the fear in Anton as he spoke to Vladimir.
When Nadia told them about the elder vampire Vladimir, he had a picture of an old vampire, not a kid. Well, technically he was not a kid but because they turned him at a young age, he stopped growing and now he still looked like a kid in his old age. “Then your family is my family, I needed you for something but since you have guests, then I guess you can bring them with you.” Vladimir looked at him with amusement in his eyes. Anton looked at Zande apologetically but
Anton dropped them off at Sylvia’s shop, Xavier went in and left the men talking in the car. When Sylvia saw him, she smiled excitedly making Xavier feel bad for what he was about to do to them. “We are ready to go.” She told him and Xavier forced a smile. He did not know how to break the news to this young woman who played a huge role in making his dream come true, now he was going to crush her dream of leaving this place and he felt bad about it.“Where is the elder Nadia?” he asked avoiding making eye contact with Sylvia, “At the back, I will get her.” She told him and was about to go and get her when Xavier stopped her. “Don’t, I will see her myself.” Sylvia nodded and Xavier went to the back. “What is it now, young alpha?” asked Nadia as soon as she saw him come in, she knew that things have changed just by looking at him.“I have news, we will still leave together but not now.” Na
They spent the next two days making plans, Anton managed to get the keys and made copies of them without being seen. He also organised the four vans and tracks that were needed to transport everyone. Xavier managed to talk to the lady bartender named Lydia, and they were currently waiting for the men she organised at the warehouse.“Do you think they are coming?” asked Xavier now nervous as he saw the time, they agreed on has passed. “If they don’t come, then we will have to rethink our entire plan.” Zande told him; he too was worried about this plan not working out but most importantly about Xavier’s ceremony that was fast approaching. “We don’t have the luxury of time; I have to be back home for the ceremony or my father will come looking for us and I can’t have that. The witch said he will die if he sets foot here.”Now out of all the things Nadia told them this Zande refused to believe, they were talking a
“I have been checking the books, and I found out the shops and businesses on the other side of town have not paid taxes yet, is there a reason we have not collected on that side.” A day has pass and today was thee day when the wolves were being rescued. Anton was taking care of his part of making sure Vladimir’s men were occupied. “We were busy on this side, we only finished yesterday and today we were planning on going to collect that side.” Anton looked at him squinting his eyes.“Do you want me to tell Vladimir that when he asks?” he raised an eyebrow looking at the men. “It is you job to make sure all the taxes are collected, and it is mine to make sure that all the money is there. If you don’t do your jobs, I can’t do mine and if Vladimir asks, I will tell him the truth.” The men looking at each other worried. “You are still here?” they rushed to get out the door leaving, Anton sighed relieved,
Vladimir was not used to being challenged and especially by a dog. Looking at him now, he thought of how good it will feel when he rips him to shreds, thinking of that made him smirk. “You have balls I give you that, but you are stupid as well.” Xavier stood just a few feet away from him. “I never said I was smart, just that I could not leave them behind,” Vladimir smirked. “Then you are going to die for being stupid.” He did not give Xavier a chance to respond after that as he charged to him.They collided in the middle exchanging punches, Vladimir soon realized that Xavier’s strength was abnormal and was almost matching his. He threw a punch at him frustrated. “You are strong and fight well for a dog. But you are still no match for me!” he charged towards him at full speed with his fangs bared. Xavier used his vampire speed to get out of the way before Vladimir got to him and that is when he realized Xavier was no normal
Zande and the others arrived at the devil’s pack early the following morning. When the patrol saw it was him, they let him through but had questions as to where their future alpha was as they left together but no one asked those questions. They were also wondering what was with all the trucks and vans. They mind-linked Luka and JP to let them know. When Zande came to view of the packhouse, he could see them standing there and wondered where Xavier was.He was supposed to arrive before them since he was supposed to fly here and explain things to Luka. Luka folded his arms looking at the convoy of trucks and vans coming their way. “What do you think is going on?” asked JP “How would I know what Xavier has going on in his mind?” answered Luka looking annoyed. “I guess we have to wait and see.” Zande was the first to park, and the others followed.He stayed in the van for a few minutes trying to get hold of Xavier, but his phone wa
Xavier arrived later that afternoon back home, his father was the first person he saw when he was dropped off by a taxi. He hesitated before getting out, his father was standing there looking at him with his arms folded on his chest. Xavier knew that look at too well. “Father, my apologies for arriving late, things got out of hands a little, but I am here now and ready to take over.” He bowed his head a little but kept eye contact with his father.“You lied to us when you left here, why?” Xavier swallowed hard wetting his now dry mouth. “Father, can we please talk in your office?” Luka gave him a look then led the way to his office, he took his seat and waited for his son to say something. “Father, I did not mean to lie, but I did not feel worthy of being alpha, not as just your son, I wanted more, to be more like you and to be able to protect this pack. I meant none of it to disrespect you or mother.” Luka took a long look at h
After talking to JP, Xavier went to look for his father, he found him in his office talking to his mother. “It’s good that you are here, I want you and your father to tell me what is going on between you two. We are leaving tomorrow, and I don’t want there to be bad blood between you.” Xavier sighed and went to take a seat next to his mother. “There is nothing wrong between us, I just learnt that it is not enough for your son to only be our child to take over the alpha position. Power and being the abomination he is, is more important to him than just being our son.” When Zoe heard Luka’s words, she did not like them, and they did not sit well with her either.He sounded hurt by what their son did. “Am sure that is not what Xavier meant.” She tried to sooth the situation. “That is what he said that he went looking for power because just being my son was not enough for him.” Zoe looked at Xavier who did not even
The woman, his mate who has a small smile on her lips was standing there looking at the man, but his frosty expression and clenched fists turned that smile into a frown. Tears welled up in her eyes, many thoughts ran through her mind but the most constant was that he was going to reject her. Nothing hurt her more than that thought, she has waited years to find her mate, kept herself, and never dated all hoping it will be worth it one day, when she finds her mate, all will be worth it, but it doesn’t seem that way at the moment.Judging by the expression on her mate's face and clenched fists. She thought he hated her, that maybe he has someone else as his chosen mate. All those thoughts hurt, and she could not bear to look at him anymore, not when he was going to reject her, anyway. She turned back to her flowers much to her wolf’s complaining. She wanted them to run to their mate and throw themselves in his arms. Have him embrace them and tell them how long he has
By eight in the evening, everything was ready at the devil's pack and some members from the Blood Moon pack were arriving. The ladies finished their make-up and got dressed in their exquisite dresses. “Xavier will not be able to concentrate with you looking like that.” Zoe complimented the fairy queen. “That’s the plan, are you sure he won't mind that I have invited some of my kind?” “No, he won't mind, trust me, all my son wants is for you to be happy and if having some of your kind here makes you happy then will not mind at all,” Zoe assured her. “I am so nervous.” Admitted Somaya rubbing her hands together. Zoe took her hands and made her look at her. “The pack knows you and some members have met you personally when you resolved their issues for them. You are not new to leadership Somaya, you are a queen, and being a Luna is no different from that. Well, except you don’t decide alone and you don’t have to carry the burden of the pack on your own because you
By the time everyone woke up the next morning. Zoe and the kids were already in the kitchen making breakfast. Lizzy was the second person to arrive with her two kids. “And then, who are these cute little things?” she was asleep when JP came back with the kids and her mate Damien did not wake her up. He knew how hard she worked and took care of the kids as well.“These are JP’s kids, Andre and Mariana.” Lizzy’s eyes popped. “JP’s kids? Wait, what are they?” she asked as she sniffed the air for their scents. “Jaguars.” Answered Zoe as she fed the kids. “I don’t understand a thing right now,” Lizzy admitted as she took a seat on the barstool watching Zoe as she fed the four kids.“I will tell you all about it later, for now, please help me finish breakfast.” Lizzy nodded and got down from the barstool. JP came in running and stopped in his tracks when he saw the kids. He sighed
Xavier slept and only woke up after eleven pm. He went to freshen up before going downstairs for food; he thought his mate would be hungry when she woke up. The packhouse was quiet at this time of night, everyone was asleep and it was understandable after the exhausting day everyone has had. He warned his food and ate then warm food for his mate before placing everything on a tray and taking it up to his room.Somaya was still asleep when he got back, he placed the tray on the bedside table then took his laptop and started working. Reports needed to be written about the events that took place and a formal report is to be sent to the elders about the demons. So, while his mate slept, he worked. Just after midnight Somaya stirred then fluttered her eyelashes and opened her eyes.She yawned and then stretched her arm to feel the place next to her. Xavier had stopped typing and looking at her. He was pleased to see her do that, to him it meant she enjoyed sleeping next to
JP spend the day buried in his work trying to distract himself from thinking about the children that might be coming. But evening came sooner than he wished it to and a mind link from the warriors came telling him that the Jaguar shifter has dropped two children off at the border. JP’s heart thundered in his chest.It boomed in his ears as if it was going to jump out of his chest with how hard it was beating. He didn’t know if it was nerves or just plain fear. He snapped out of it when the warrior called to him again through the mind link when he did not answer. “I will be right there.” He said the jumped out the office window shifting mid-air and ran towards the border.“You are going to be a father now, how does it feel?” his wolf mocked with a chuckle. “Shut up!” he growled at his wolf making him laugh. “Leave it to you to agree to raise Cats.” JP wanted to cut the mind link with his wolf and shove him to t
Xavier laid his mate on his bed then got in next to her then pulled her close to him. She was breathing like someone who was sleeping and Xavier thought she was too tired. “When you wake up, I will mark you as mine, not more games between us. I want you by my side always.” He sniffed her scent and felt his nerves calm.“What I have learnt from this whole thing with the demons is that tomorrow is not guaranteed and I want to spend whatever time I have left with you. Some say I am immortal but the death of the oldest hybrid showed me that no one is really immortal. One way or the other we will all die and I want to die a happy man. With you by my side, so if you will have me, I would like to mark you as my own and make you the Luna of my pack. My Luna.”He spoke as if he was talking to a conscious person; he didn’t even know if she could hear him or not but he wanted to get all of that off his chest. A lot has happened, and he did not want t
“Can you really help?” asked Zoe for the tenth time as they drove heading to her old pack. “Yes, I can, and please stop worrying.” The queen assured her and Zoe nodded. The journey felt longer than it was to Zoe. When the big gates written Blood Moon, appeared she felt relieved.The warriors on patrol only saw her, and she nodded at them. These are the people she used to train with when she was still living here. They knew her and she knew them. They also knew who she was mated to, and they did not want to get on the devils' bad side.Zoe mind linked Luka as soon as they entered the gates. “Darling, we are passing the gate now.” She said through the mind link. “Are you okay?” all he could think about was her safety, he could not imagine his life without her. “Am alright Luka, I will tell you when we are close to the packhouse,” she informed.“Don’t!” she frowned. “There is mounta
While they were still looking at the disappearance of the beautiful woman, she appeared again. Looking frustrated. “Oh, you couldn’t do your disappearing act or you missed us and came back?” asked Zande, Asmodeus gave him a glare. “She can’t use her powers now; the mark of Solomon and mountain ash prevents her from using her powers.” JP answered.“Don’t be so smug about it, dog, you all can’t use your powers either, but I will still enjoy my time with you, I might not be able to use my powers to affect you people but I am still Asmodeus the demon of lust and I will have every male wolf in this pack eating out of the palm of my hand.” She smirked.“Okay, I have heard and seen about enough. You fuck off and in case you forgot. We can kill you now, it’s only a matter of time before we send you back in the hole you crawled out from.” Said Luka earning himself a glare from Asmodeus. “Nope, f
Xavier and Luka arrived. They got out of the car then went inside, JP was coming down from the stairs when they came in. He sighed in relief when he saw them. “Thank the Goddess you are here.” He spoke. “I don’t think we will be much help but let’s see what the situation is. The warriors tell us that Asmodeus is here.” Said Luka.JP nodded. “Lead the way.” Said Luka, JP led them to the living room. The witches were standing by the door while the beautiful woman was sitting on the couch looking at them with a smile on her face with her long legs crossed. Her smiled widened when she saw the three men coming in and she stood up.“Well, well, well, what have we here?” she said walking towards them. “Don’t come any closer.” The wizard warned. “Oh, come on, if you had a way to stop me you would have done so already and besides. You are already weakened; your companion is already mine.”
JP has forced the witches to come to the pack house so they can come up with a plan to catch the demon before it does any damage. They were not sure if she was in the Blood Moon Pack or not, but they had to put safety measures in place to protect the pack. While they were busy discussing what is to be done, the witch caught a piece of paper that flew to her. She read the contents then the page burnt after reading it’s contents. The wizard she was with looked at her waiting to hear what the message said. “Mammon has also escaped the underworld.” Zande stood and paced. “As if the demon of lust was not enough now your people went and released the demon of greed. What are you people trying to do?” he asked angered by all of this. “Our people are not trying to do anything but remedy the situation, beta Zande.” Zande scoffed. “If it wasn’t for your kind, no demon would have escaped in the first place!” the witch kept quiet, what Zande was saying was the truth and t
