(Dr. Albert Curie POV)
Samantha tells her stories to prevent her from going outside. She had numerous attempts going out in the past that almost killed her. If it wasn't for El, she wouldn't have returned to us alive. The Grand Alpha warned Samantha to keep an eye on our daughter, or else, it wouldn't be their fault if something bad happened to Athena.
I carried him and she quickly wrapped her arms around my neck. She rested her head on my shoulder and whispered softly. "I wish I'm big enough to fight those monsters. I want us to have an adventure outside, Dad." a courageous remarked from her but it was a pitiful line.
How I wish too.
(EL’s POV)They will be going to fight with me. So, I need to give it to them. I massaged my neck and closed my eyes. To add more challenge, I keep my eyes closed when I'm sparring with Joaquin's men.Anticipation with the sounds they made. Listening carefully… controlled breathing. The rhythm of my body dances
(EL’s POV)After the meeting, we headed to a first-class jewelry store, humans and vampires both love to lather themselves with this kind of stuff. Little do they know that we already conquered the jewelry business. This has been my Father's way to finally rid ourselves away from the discrimination we have experienced in the past.Again, if something feral happened, it is the doing of the werewolves who have met their affliction. Their uncontrollable insanity. The jewelries sparkled inside the glass containers. Some of our personnel here happened to be vampires. Still, money is all they need for them to live in this world. Money was important in the world of busine
(Dr. Albert POV)"They will kill Athena if... I failed to make the serum before your birthday." he took a deep sigh. I lowered my head while my hands were tightly gripping the railings."Don't worry Dr. Albert. I'll talk to my father about that." I don’t know if I can hold his words. "EL... What if your father does not listen to you?!" my desperation suddenly came out. El got quiet until..."Dr. Albert. What do you think should I do?" I know that i shouldn't drag him into this, he hasn't done anything bad to us. I should be blamed for all of these. The werewolves wouldn't have kidnapped us if I refused to
(EL’s POV)"Big brother?" it was obvious that she wasn't expecting the size of it. "Open it." she opened it in front of her visitors. It was a beautiful set of silver arrows, just in case a werewolf tries to attack her. Why I think that? She raised her look on me. "It's beautiful El... But I thought your gift was inside a smaller box." I made a half smile upon hearing it. I know that she was referring to the necklace I gave Athena. She was with me when I bought it."Yana, please introduce me to your brother.""Me too." the gi
(EL’s POV)"You're not in your proper age yet EL to act like that, but it seems that you're already trying to challenge me." I massaged the back of my neck."No father.” I deny. “I'm just thinking trying to protect our people.""Son, do you want to return to the time when our people was being discriminated by everyone?""No father, but they have to respect us. It would be better if Yana celebrates outside of our territory. It seems that the vampires are starting to disrespect us again." my father didn't answer immediately, he is thinking thoroughly.
(Dr. Albert POV)"You've been here for how many years? Seven, Dr. Albert? And for that number of years your trials have all been a failure. Seven years? I think the Grand Alpha's patience have been more than enough regarding your research. But unfortunately, all things come to end. Same thing goes to the Grand alpha's patience. Prepare yourselves, the life of your daughter will just be until midnight.""You insolent fools!" Samantha yelled at him. I held onto Samantha's hand and guided her and our daughter inside the laboratory. I closed the door behind them.I faced Lupoz and approached him. I looked straight into his eyes... Took a deep breath."It would be best if you get out of our sight." It wasn't a question but a direct firm order, I'm sick and tired of the threats this old prick has been giving us."Keep in mind about
(Dr. Albert POV)I'm sorry Samantha, I know that I have promised you that I'll be able to get you out of here. I'm sorry that I put you in this situation. To my sweet daughter... I don't want anything bad happen to you. For the last seven years this room has been the only world you had. This is all my fault. I thought I could make you proud with my achievements as a scientist. But what I am doing right now is the complete opposite. I'm about to kill my own child. I never had a change to let my daughter experience the outside world.Until the door opened, it was Athena."Dad, it's time for dinner!" her cheerful voice halted me. I looked at the window and noticed that it was about to get dark. I sighed deeply and looked at her. This is all my fault. In
(EL POV)While I was taking my shower, I was still thinking of possible ways to help the Curie's. They're the only thing I could think of while I prepare myself for the event. I know I have failed Dr. Albert and his family. I’m sorry. (Dr. Curie’s POV)I immediately finished preparing the last serum. My thoughts were very sure that this will make a significant result to the test subject. With Samantha on my side, we walked ourselves to the basement; the Grand alpha's men escorted us.We were met by the Grand Alpha itself inside the testing facility. It's been almost a month since I last saw him. Lupoz was standing beside him. Secretly laughing in me. I held tightly on the bottle. This was the only set of mixture I have brewed from the blood I got from Athena; three shots of syringes.
(EL's POV) "Let her." I told Lucah. We left immediately while I massage the side of my head. “Lucah, make sure that Athena is somehow kept away from the places that are in chaos. I will immediately do the work that some Alphas cannot do." “Master El, what if you fall victim to the drug. You need to avoid going out as much as possible. That is also the order of the Grand Alpha." “Do you really think that I will let that happen Lucah? Tss.” Then I disappeared in front of them. I found myself on a high rooftop to have a good vantage point on what was happening around. I could hear the sirens all over. Is this the start of a Vampire revolution? Tss. They really had the audacity to reveal their true colors. Athena, please take care. I guess I just need to trust you amidst this turmoil around us. As I observe the area below me, I witnessed how Athena shot an arrow to a vampire who was about to bite its victim
(Athena's POV)Me? Going with Darrell? That's basically an invitation for El to kill me. I'll fight anyone, not just that man. That man is bad news when he gets angry. So, I'm really sorry Darrell.EL's men arrived, so we went out of the house. I just found out that the tear gas that was thrown at our house was positive with drugs which made El's assistants go mad."Miss Athena, what are you planning to do?" Lucah confronted me. Why is EL not with him?“As EL promised, your boss. He will give me freedom, right?”“Miss Athena, every place now is in chaos. Master EL does not want to disturb the two days he gave you but given the circumstances, we need to make sure that you're safe. You saw what happened earlier, didn't you?”“Who's responsible for this Lucah? It's you, right? If the Grand Alpha hasn't discriminated the vampires, none of this would have happened."“I don’t have a
(Athena POV)EL's staff immediately entered the house. Making sure the the surroundings were secured. Aunt Matilda and I are close to each other. We heard on television that many vampires have already joined the revolt and even turning some humans into vampires. That is the last thing they should do.Is this a start of a new chaos? Will this be another war?...The window suddenly shattered, something was thrown inside the house that immediately let out thick smoke. I had difficulty breathing… then I saw El's staff coughing out blood...It showed me how they changed their forms. I could not speak when they start changing. Their clothes torn apart, Aunt Matilda and I are backing away…. I think the smoke is what triggers the werewolves to lose control of themselves, it's the medicine that El mentioned that made by the vampires. They can attack anyone using this weapon!In the seconds that followed… we were surroun
(EL's POV)Me and Lucah haven't even gotten to the conference room yet, when he immediately told me the updates.Riot. A few cases of riot occur in just an hour. My staff are already busy taking the necessary actions. We have not even been able to find out the exact reasons about the incident that happened with Athena earlier.I rolled up my sleeves, in front of me are the newly assigned alphas set by their respective packs. Vampires are already raging against us. Lucah and I went over the responsibilities of the Alphas in each territory. They have no complaints about their given roles, being an alpha is an honor that all werewolves takes pride of. The day isn't over yet, and we already received a lot of news that many Alphas are losing control of themselves.I got up from my seat. I stared at Lucah who already knew what he needs to say."Master EL, your life may be put in danger."“No. I won’t let that happen. I
(Athena POV)Uncle approached me with a big smile on his face. Then he tapped me hard on the shoulder, it made me skip a breath for a second.“Uncle… just take it easy."“You will feel worse when you have regrets in your decisions later in your life. It'll be heavy for to carry, and that hurts. So no matter what happens, stand up for the decision you will make Athena... until the end.”“What are you talking about Uncle? Have you made up your mind? You will really give me to El huh?"Of course. Ahaha. Your parents are happy about this.” I was stunned at what he just said."Really? My parents will be happy for me being married to El?” I close my eyes as he laughs again as if the world's end is about to come. “Uncle! I am serious here!""El, the son of the Grand Alpha, he is every woman's dream to be in their lives. Women who can be far more beautiful than you."&ld
(Athena's POV)I bit unto my lips while my heart feels like pounding out my chest. It hurts more if you ignore it, it grabs my attention every moment that I'm alone… and it never stops. I sighed deeply as I slowly close my eyes. At the same time, I pull my hair, unsure where my life is going to take me now.I sat on my bed and asked myself why I suddenly lost my fear in this world. This world is chaotic. But ever since I met EL, he's always been willing to lay down his life for me, my question is… is that what love is? Full of sacrifices? EL, though you are not an ordinary creature, you still need to value the life you have.My thoughts suddenly grazed over Darrell. What is happening to him? Is that the principle of all vampires? It can't be. Since the time I'm with my Uncle Wenziel, he has never been like that.I got off my bed and left the room. I was just stunned while I was pacing myself down the stairs, Au
(Athena POV)I tried to open my eyes despite being drowned by the brutal winds. I clung around El as tight as I can, don't he dare say that the cause of my death is falling because of his stupidity."Just calm down Athena." he slightly shouts at me for me to hear. "I will not let you go; I promise!"I'm not sure what he meant by his promise… it's either he will not let me go in this relationship or from this nonsense he is doing right now. Clinging like a monkey with a koala. I'll be the koala, not the monkey. Don't compare me with him.Ahem. He is not a monkey but a wolf. Wow. So werewolves are also good at hanging on to something! They must be the missing link Charles Darwin is looking for.From the look in his eyes… I know he won't really let me go. I just have to trust my heart in him. If not, I will really destroy this man's next generation. Don't do something stupid now El. Tsk, or else I will cut something from
(Athena POV)Wait. I promised myself that I will not fall for him. I swore that to myself. I can't let this happen. No! I will never have feelings for him. Shoooo EL! Shooo!That's why I tried to let go off his clutches… but he hugged me tighter. I just waited for him to release me because I know he won't let go of me anyway."Let's go home Athena." his voice sounded very soft and tender. He kissed me on my head, so I looked up at him. His lips touched my forehead as I tilt my gaze."Idiot." I pushed him away. “You promised me that you would give me two days. A day hasn't passed yet.""You're making me worry too much Athena."“And why would you worry about me? You don't feel anything for me. You're a fool if you think like that." But El's face was serious. He closes his eyes and sighs deeply."Do you have any feelings for me Athena?" He asked me as he opened his eyes. This is the most serious questi
(Athena POV)I looked at the terrace door because I heard something broke all of a sudden. A woman screamed and she look stunned and I know it's because she just saw EL's naked body. I was about to say something, but she suddenly fell unconscious.Yes. El's body is a lot to handle, especially if you are not used to see a man with a ripped physique. His body looks like a statue carved out of a marble just like the idols engraved on Olympus.I just walked inside from the terrace… and I knew that fool would come back. I grabbed something that would cover his body. I also pulled a blanket to cover the woman. I'm sorry miss, that man is really crazy.But as I turned my gaze back to the terrace, a smiling EL greeted me. Did he immediately pacify the trouble below? I approached the railings and took a peek below. The sirens of the oncoming police could be heard from where we are."EL…" I mentioned his name…. but I did
