Chapter 3 Existence of a Vampwolf
THE CELESTIAL IMPERIAL
“Vaewolf, Lycanpire, Vampwolf, Cucubuth. Legends speaks of them being Hybrids. But a Vampwolf has the most history ever written and has been passed down from generation to generation. Not a myth but it is real.” She stopped, looking up at the seven years old blonde haired boy who sat in front of her with curious eyes wanting to know more.
“A Vampwolf?” He arched his brows.
She hummed a positive response. “Are you sure you want to read a book like this, Dwayne?”
“Yes mother. Please continue! Please continue!” He pestered.
She heaved a sigh. “A Vampwolf. Half-Vampire...Half-Lycan. But stronger than both. A cross breed deadlier than any werewolf or vampire. Werewolf-Vampire hybrids are the mixture of a vampire and a werewolf. They possess the powers of both species, making them twice as powerful. And—“
“Wow! Mother! Is it really true that the Alpha King is a Vampwolf?!” He asked, a gasp escaping his lips.
She smiled. “Yes Dwayne. He is a Vampwolf.”
“I want to be a Vampwolf too...like the Alpha King! Show me! Mother, tell me how I can be a Vampwolf!” He got up to his feet and placed both hands on his hips ready to do whatever.
“Listen Dwayne, not everyone can be a Vampwolf. They are rare species which used to be forbidden in all supernatural societies.”
His smile fell as he sat back on the ground with his small legs crossed in Indian style. “But...the Alpha King is a Vampwolf.” He muttered.
“The Alpha King was born of an impossible union. His birth was between a pure blooded Lycan prince and a full blooded vampire who also came from a long lineage of witches.” She explained calmly.
“Why is it an impossible union?” He asked.
“Hundreds of years ago, it was forbidden that a vampire and a werewolf have any close relations with each other. If it happens, both parents and the child are to be executed immediately.” She answered.
“Close relations? That’s unfair. So they shouldn’t play even as friends?” He pouted.
“When I mean close relations, it is something more than you should know.”
“Oh you mean...having sex?!” He blurted out.
Her eyes widened in shock. “Where did you hear that sort of words?”
“Marcellus told me. I saw him kissing Elena the other day and he said they have plans to mate later on.” He responded.
She shook her head. “You should stop hanging around Marcel.”
“No mother, Marcel is a genius! He helps me out with the works given at the academy. I want to be like him!” He smiled sheepishly.
Maybe later on, she would warn Marcellus to be mindful of what he says and does in the presence of her child. “Dwayne—“
He cuts in. “I am glad executing both parents and the child doesn’t work anymore because it saved our Alpha King’s life.” This time a bright smile grazed the little boy’s face.
She shook her head in amazement at her son’s words. He might just be seven years old but Dwayne tends to act like he is twice his age. Still, she couldn’t comprehend why he chose to read this book; Existence of a Vampwolf.
“Mother, when I grow up, I’ll like to be the Alpha King’s personal guard. I’ll serve as a warrior first and work my way diligently into the Royal Home.” He said with so much determination in his eyes.
“And why do you want to serve the Alpha King?” She asked with a furrowed eyebrow.
“The humans.” He replied.
“The humans?” She reacted with a confused look on her wrinkled face.
“I’ll work twice as hard to gain the Alpha King’s trust and convince him to change the tradition. The pets and slaves deserve a better life in our—“
“Quiet Dwayne!” She shunned him.
“Imperial.” He completed in a tight whisper.
She set the book aside, stood up from the stool and went closer to him. “You’ll speak no more about the humans! You’ll speak no more about your desires for liberty! Or do you want the Alpha King to have you beheaded?!” She snapped at him.
Terror filled his eyes and he didn’t dared to say a word. “Please Dwayne.” She pleaded in a gentle tone now.
“Okay mother. I’ll be very careful of what I say.” He mumbled, placing a finger on his lips and he did a zipping up gesture.
“That’s my boy.” She spread out her arms and he moved closer to embrace her.
“Mother, I have to meet Darcel. We promised to play once the sun sets.” Dwayne looked up at his mother.
“Alright. Go ahead but don’t stay too late. I’ll prepare dinner to keep myself busy.” She released him from her hold.
“Okay mother! Can I ask Darcel to have dinner with us?!” Dwayne jumped in excitement.
“Yes, that’s good! Go now.” She handed him the book before he exited the room.

“Elias, do I have any meeting scheduled with the Alpha King in the next four days?” Darius asked, as he sipped from the goblet filled with human blood.
Elias’s finger schemed through the large screen of tablet on his left hand. “No, General. The Alpha King had sent a message earlier this morning stating that he wants to be alone for the next few days. No emergency message as at now.” He replied.
Darius looked up at his right hand man. “Any word from Raphel Grayson yet?”
“No credit alert seen yet.”
Darius smirked. “He must see me as a fool! If Raphel thinks he can run away from me then he must really be kidding!” He gulped down the last drop of blood. “Since I have a few days off, I guess it’s time to say hi to my old client. Get our men ready, Elias!” He slammed the goblet on the table.
“Yes General.” Elias turned to leave but soon stopped on track. “What time do we leave?”
“Night fall. And prepare enough to bring in more people to the Imperial. The Alpha King will be pleased to have more human prisoners and I, more blood to fill my belly and quench my thirst.” He chuckled deviously.
Elias bowed before turning away to leave the room.
Chapter 4 The Osvaldos TEXAS, UNITED STATE OF AMERICA. KJ BEAUTY EMPIRE: KIARA’S OFFICEKiara’s head snapped up to look at whoever just opened the office and she found Lila standing at the entrance with a bright smile on her face.“Hey best friend!” Lila giggled as she strolled further into the room.Kiara managed a smile on her face. “Good afternoon, Lila.”Lila raised her eyebrows at the unusual way her best friend just acknowledged her presence. “Is that the right way to greet me? Woah! You didn’t even offer me a seat! So rude of you, CEO Kiara! Is this how you treat a good client?” Lila questioned in feigned annoyance with her hands on her waist as she stood at akimbo.Kiara glanced up again from the laptop screen. She was busy taking a free spa lessons online.“Let me ask you a question.” She paused.“Yes I am listening.”“Are you here today as a client or a best friend?” Kiara asked.Lila thought for a moment. “Such a cunning question. Perhaps am I making you uncomfortable
Chapter 5 Kiara’s Decision TEXAS, UNITED STATE OF AMERICA KJ BEAUTY EMPIRE: KIARA’S OFFICE“First thing first, you can’t say no to me.” Lila pointed out.“Spill it.” Kiara breathed out heavily.“In a bid to not wallow in self pity for getting fired at work, Daniel made a reservation at the biggest club in town so he asked me to bring my friends. And I do not have any friends except you. So you are hanging out with us at the club tonight.” Lila stated in excitement that one would doubt she had just lost a job.Kiara rubbed her temples gently. She hadn’t seen that coming if not she would have come up with a better topic to distract Lila. But at the same time, Kiara know that wouldn’t work on Lila who can get too persistent whenever she wants something to go her way.“You can’t say no...remember.” Lila rushed to sit next to her.This isn’t the first time Lila was asking her to hang out with she and Daniel. Ever since Kiara divorced Carlos Osvaldo, Lila had made it a point of duty to
Chapter 6 Feeling alive TEXAS, UNITED STATE OF AMERICA AT KIARA’S HOUSELila and her boyfriend, Daniel Dantes who is a CEO of a big clothing brand in Texas showed up at Kiara’s house at exactly nine o’clock p.m.Kiara had rolled her eyes severally when Jessica brought the dress into the office. It was way beyond what she imagined and even Jessica couldn’t help the gasp that escaped her throat at the sight of the dress. It was way too revealing and wasn’t Kiara’s sort of clothing.“You look so hot! Damn! How could you hide such a beautiful body under baggy wears?!” Lila gasped out.A bright smile played on Daniel Dante’s face as his eyes did a slow crawl on Kiara’s body. She looked sexy in the tiny strapped short crimson dress. He couldn’t deny that Kiara looked amazing and beautiful. Ever since he knew Kiara, Daniel has never seen her in such an outfit aside casual jeans, sweatshirts, baggy trousers and tops.“Why on earth did you buy this sort of dress?!” Kiara asked.“Listen t
Chapter 7 Defensive stanceTEXAS, UNITED STATE OF AMERICA AT THE CLUBHOUSEAside Liam being one of Carlos close friends, he had his eyes on Kiara in college even before she met Carlos. Kiara had turned him down thrice which had hurt his ego so badly and when she started going out with Carlos, he had expressed how heartbroken he felt via text message.Liam was even present at the court on the day she divorced Carlos. She knew he would be rejoicing about the failed marriage because he had tried to warn her about Carlos.“I love what I am seeing. You have done well for yourself, Kiara. Oh sorry…how has life been without Carlos Osvaldo? Good or bad?” He asked.“What?” Kiara muttered.“Since you are looking this good, I guess the money you made from the Osvaldos has been put into a good use.” He grinned widely. “So tell me are you here all dolled up this way to get another catch like Carlos Osvaldo?” His eyes did a slow crawl from her face to her cleavage.Kiara felt insulted. She
Chapter 8 Blood SuckersTEXAS, UNITED STATE OF AMERICAAfter a long trek of about forty minutes, Kiara was lucky to get a taxi that drove her to a point. All she needed to do was cross the dark alley that would give a sight to her street ahead. She heaved a sigh of relief for reaching her destination finally.All of a sudden, Kiara stopped midway when she heard voices in the alley.“You thought I won’t ever find you?! Even if you go beneath the sea, I’ll have my merfriends bring you out!” The voice grounded out.Reasons why Kiara doesn’t keep late nights whenever she leaves home without her car. There are always teenage boys lurking around this alley in particular to rob and harass people. She wondered why the cops are nowhere to be found today. They are always on patrol in the area ever since the dead body of a teenage girl was found in the alley and news had it that she was raped to death.This alley was forbidden but she had to use it today because it was closer to her house.“Plea
Chapter 9 The Celestial Imperial THE CELESTIAL IMPERIALIn an unconscious state, Kiara felt gentle swaying motion, almost as if being on a boat, where the waves lifted and eased at the whimsy of the wind, peaceful and comforting. And she might have been comforted by the motion, were it not for the fiery hot throbbing pain in her neck. Her breathe sputtered in irregular patterns, short, sharp and incomplete.Kiara was burning inside for terrifying moments but soon everything faded in her mind again. ******************************Kiara could hear hushed voices from a far distance and it felt like she was dreaming."Hey…I think she is awake now…her eyelashes are fluttering.”“No…I think she is still asleep.""Her wound has healed completely.""Let us wake her up before those cruel guards comes around to pour water on her."Cruel guards? What's happening? Wait! Did she die and didn’t make it to heaven but hell? Oh no! Was she in hell or what? Kiara bantered within herself."Hey…w
Chapter 10 No Government THE CELESTIAL IMPERIAL"As you already know that this world is full of supernatural species but the vampires and werewolves are mostly dominating the Imperial. The vampires especially are very wicked but the most cruel of them all is the Alpha King." Felicity responded this time.Kiara furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. "The Alpha King? What’s does that mean? And who is he?""His name is Vincent Bond-Smith but they call him Vins Bond for short. I heard he is cold at heart as an ice. Like they often call him, The Devil’s Incarnate. He doesn’t care about anyone’s emotions. He can kill whoever tries to get in his way. He is known for being difficult. He is the most feared creature in the supernatural societies. Expect nothing but Death if you ever get on the Alpha King’s nerves so they always say about Vins Bond. He is merciless and undefeated. Strong and fierce. He is a hybrid.” Olivia explained.“What’s a hybrid?”“He is half lycan, half vampire.” Zen
Chapter 11 The Tradition THE CELESTIAL IMPERIALKiara remembered him from the night he killed Raphel Grayson and how he had bitten her neck in an attempt to get rid of her. She wondered why and what he did that made her wound heal completely and the mark faded but she didn't turn to a vampire."Good to see you alive." Darius smiled. His smile was divine and his features were good looking and great but such handsomeness shouldn’t be given to a terrible person like him. He should probably have two horns and very horrible dentition and an appearance that would portray his cruelty.Kiara’s eyes were fixated on him and then she noticed who was standing behind him. A woman who was completely naked, his pet! As if that wasn't bad enough, the asshole actually held a leash in his hand which was attached to the collar around her neck. This is cruelty! She thought of just slamming her fists in his face."My blood did a good job at healing you." Darius smiled.What?! He fed her with
Chapter 21 Her plans CELESTIAL IMPERIALThe music began, a forced smile forming on her face as he took the first step. One more look into his eyes and her heart skipped a beat, butterflies forming in her belly. Damn destiny for bringing a man so completely captivating and mysterious and sexy into her existence. Kiara had been bored all her life but right now she knew she had been missing excitement in her life. And she could imagine how her life was going to get with her mission of earning the vampires and werewolves respect and winning the emperor's trust.Vins Bond held her closer to his body. She looked around at all the people, many vampires and werewolves danced with either their mates or those with higher titles. Kiara was glad that she haven't tripped off or missed a step since the dance kicked off. She was being careful to avoid embarrassment.Kiara has never been a fan of people staring at her every move. And she bet a couple of people here are seeing how her fingers
Chapter 20 The Royal Ball CELESTIAL IMPERIALFinally, the grand ball day meant to introduce Kiara as the empress was here! And prior to this day, she has met few people in this Imperial. The royal dance teacher who taught her how to dance like an empress since she would be having a dance with the emperor. Royal Instructor who lectured her on how to behave like an empress, how to sit with her shoulders high, when to talk at meeting whenever she is out with the emperor. Basically those days were filled a long note of do's and dont's of an empress.Kiara hasn’t set her eyes on Elijah since their first meeting. Lawson said he was too busy tending to the imperial affairs but she wasn't going to buy it that the Emperor was too caught up with work to be able to visit her in his own suite. Kira had made it clear that the emperor had never missed sleeping in his suite, so why now? Her instinct kept telling her that the emperor was intentionally abiding her because he didn't expect his m
Chapter 19 Her Fears THE CELESTIAL IMPERIALAfter the conversation about myself, we looked into one or two books which revealed a lot of things about supernatural species before coming out of the library. Kira strongly believes that that Kiara can change the emperor's heart if she is willing to take the risk."Are you leaving already?" Kiara asked."No, not yet. I have to prepare dinner for you so the emperor won't rip out my heart." She answered with a serious face.Kiara chuckled. "He can't rip out your heart.""Why do you say so?" Kira asked."You are mated to his kind, have you forgotten who you are? You Keira, is the mate to the emperor’s personal bodyguard." She reminded her.Kira managed to smile. "I hope he thinks the same way. Please go ahead to the living area and watch TV while I get busy in the kitchen." She said.Kiara would have loved to help her out in the kitchen but she was tired. she has never talked this much in her life like she did today! She strode towa
Chapter 18 Setting our kind free THE CELESTIAL IMPERIAL"On that day he walked up to me and asked to be a friend, he was so hard to resist that I had fallen for him at first sight. He found out about my love supernatural books especially vampires and it made him happier. But I should have suspected his identity the day he asked me if I believed vampires existed or a human mating a vampire was real but I told him none of it existed. It was so hard to figure his identity..." Her voice broke off as tears dropped down her cheeks."I was deeply in love with him and wanted to spend the rest of my life with him so in excitement I asked him to introduce me to his parents if he wanted something serious and he said he will after I agree to his proposal.""He proposed to you?" Kiara asked."Landon proposed to me and I said yes." She held on to Kira’s hands in an attempt to comfort her."I didn't know what he did to me but when I woke up I found myself here. At first I was placed in the h
Chapter 17 Soft life of a Luna THE CELESTIAL IMPERIALThe Alpha King’s suite was like a mini five star hotel if there was something like that. Should Kiara Jaden count herself lucky that she is mated to the ruler of this beautiful imperial? She pondered as she walked to the beautiful living area. Kiara saw pictures she assumed to be the Alpha King’s family hanging on the white walls."Good morning, Luna.” Masculine voices greeted in unison.Kiara’s head snapped up, her eyes meeting two men who are identical except for the fact that they have different hair colors. Twins!"I am Samson." The man with brown hair spoke up."I am Lawson!" The other one on black hair introduced himself too."The Alpha has assigned us to be your personal bodyguards." They said and bowed in unison.Kiara raised her eyebrows in confusion. "What?! Bodyguards?!"“Yes Luna.” They chorused.Kiara pondered on the reason why she needs bodyguards. "Are you humans too?!" She asked.The men exchanged glances a
Chapter 16 A luxurious life THE CELESTIAL IMPERIALThe direct ray of sunlight on Kiara’s face made her open her eyes slightly and realization hit her almost immediately. She is alive! Kiara caught a glimpse of someone walking around as her hands reached out to itch her eyes for a clearer vision.‘Where am I?!’ She thought for a second.She was on a soft surface, somewhere warm and comfortable. Then Kiara realized that she was naked beneath the sheet. Her eyes widened. ‘Who undressed me?! How on earth did I end up on a bed?!’ She bantered within."Good morning, I am glad you are awake!" A feminine voice said.Kiara yelped in surprise at the presence in the room. ‘Who is she?!’ She tried to force her shock under control but failed at it. She screamed.“Please relax ma’am. I mean no harm. I am just here to help you.” The girl rushed out her words.Kiara stopped screaming. The girl was beautiful. She had a round face, brown colored hair and pretty hazel eyes.“What is happening?
Chapter 15 She is mine! THE CELESTIAL IMPERIALKiara peered up to look at the devil and she zoned off as she took in his features. His sunrise gold hair was packed in a manly bun, beautiful silver eyes framed with dark eyelashes and super toned skin. His chest was bare with no clothes, it revealed solid wall of muscles around his upper body, veins protruding from his perfect skin, rock like abs and lean hips. He is preternaturally and supernaturally beautiful as an hybrid. And here she was drooling over the wicked, cruel and heartless Alpha King. A devil like him shouldn't have such great looks!"You all were in such a hurry to get these humans that you couldn't wait for me to come pick out my choice.” He said, taking his seat on one of the big couches in the room but this one looks more like a throne."My Alpha King, we all know you don't keep pets!" Mikel chuckled."What if I wanna change my mind?" The Alpha King picked up a glass filled with blood.“We know how much you
Chapter 14 Men in High Council THE CELESTIAL IMPERIALIt has been seven days since Kiara was brought into this world by a dangerous vampire who has no regards for humans and he also has this strong desire to make her his food source or sex pet. Kiara haven't set her eyes on General Darius since he left the torture room. Although he had said they would meet at the High Council meeting but Kiara wished they would never see again. She prayed to God to not let anyone in the high council to pick her as a sex pet.And if Kiara was to choose out of being a food source, pet or slave, she would opt in to work as a slave to the vampires or werewolves. At least she wouldn't have to walk around naked or donate her blood to the blood factory.They haven't heard about Zendaya which makes Kiara feel guilty for what happened to her and she hoped that Darius didn't kill her that day. Jasmine didn't come around to clean up her wound which made her feel dirty coupled with the fact that t
Chapter 13 The Healer THE CELESTIAL IMPERIAL"How many so far?" Darius voice boomed across the room."Twelves lashes General!” One of the female vampires answered.The hot throbbing pains on Kiara’s back was unbearable. Her vision was already getting blurry and her head was spinning in circles."Bring water…” Darius ordered when he noticed her expression.Someone splashed water on Kiara which revived her consciousness. Kiara was glad that she still had a bra on her body at least no man was able to see her naked boobs and a black tight on her thighs unlike other prisoners in this room who were standing unclad while receiving punishment. This place is hell."General Darius, how about we undress her completely." One of the female vampires suggested.Kiara’s head snapped up to look at Darius even though she was weak. Her eyes pleaded with him not to give in to the suggestion. "No...no...I beg you…don't undress me." She pleaded in a low tone."That is better. You are begging me.
