BLADE IN THE SHADOWS

King Stefan was pacing about the Royal palace anxiously with the screams of soldiers and roaring of carts across the street below the castle when a guard rushed in.

King Stefan turned around instantly and nodded to the guards who slowed to a reasonable walk when he came within talking distance from the King.

"Any news from the battlefield guardsman"

King Stefan said as he tried to keep a stern face but his heart was heavy with anxiety over the incoming report.

The guardsman bowed slightly to the King and began speaking as he rose back up.

"A good number of battalions have been decimated by the enemy, we lost a couple of commanders but the High Marshall still lives"

King Stefan who was unknowingly holding in his breath as the guard was speaking let out a sigh of relief.

"Although my lord....I bring you grim tales" the guard said as he stood chest out to King Stefan.

"Speak guardsman"

"My King.....the vampires took prisoners, lot's of prisoners. They loaded them up

One of the Krovani spoke bluntly.Kolden was already reaching for his sword when he held himself,remembering that he couldn't possibly beat all the Krovani in combat before they overpowered him."There's a dire situation that demands your immediate attention"Kolden replied with his eyes on the Krovani who had spoken earlier."You have your Murdelia,your elite band of fema

    VICIOUS AMBITION"By the power vested in me as the King of Grenalia; I hereby appoint thee Harold Of House Horeby, High Marshall of Grenalia...go forth and wage war against our enemies and restore the honor and dignity of Grenalia"Harold smiled as he remembered the proclamation of King Stefan a few moons ago at the Royal Palace.A wet breeze blew through his hair as Harold standing by the shores of the Valed Sea shook himself from his thoughts and returned back to the situation at hand.Sweaty men that wore clothes covering just their waist were yelling orders among themselves as they worked hard to construct warships and barges."Chop the wood according to the official measurements!!"A Grenalian lieutenant barked at a group of younger soldiers that were hauling wood to the seaside.The soldiers carrying timbers upon their shoulders with occasional grumbling,dropped the timber on the seaside with great effort."Keep up the determination boys, we must have these ships ready in a few

    CALL OF THE DARKGRENALIA, THE ROYAL PALACE, MORNING HOURS.King Stefan drank steadily from a cup of water as he peered out of his castle window as a scribe read out the naval battle report."Roughly 90% of our fleet has been lost in combat with thousands of men still fighting viciously against the werewolves upon the sinking wrecks of our ships."King Stefan gulped water from the cup he held."The High Marshall Harold was last seen bracing for an attack from the flagship of the Werewolves.... Lycan's Wrath they call it"."What's the status of the High Marshall at the time of this report?"The Scribe swallowed his spit wearily as he flipped to the next page of the report."The messenger said that the werewolves leader bellowed a challenge to Harold as he transformed into his werewolf form and leaped over to Grey Thunder"King Stefan's eyes twitched as the scribe finished speaking."Was any ship able to slip through the battle and make it to Werekult unseen?"

Lucian hollered into the prison, the only reply he got back was a deep growl and feet shuffling in the dark."If you can hear me then you should listen to me very carefully..." Lucian haughtily said."No... that came out wrong" Lucian murmured to himself and cleared his throat, his voice taking a more somber tone."I'm Lucian Lycanson, Alpha Wolf of Werekult...my kingdom, our land has been viley assaulted by those....those bloodsuckers from distant Vamparia" Lucian paused,waiting for any curious voices but all he heard from within the prison was low growls and more shuffling of feet."I'm going to open this prison and you my brethren will see the need for your assistance in the defense of our kind" Lu

    Lucian pulled off the white duvet that had been stained in blood and carried it off to the bathroom. The smell of blood filled his senses and he would have killed her right there I'd his father had not taught him the art of controlling his desire and need for blood. He could still hear her son's from the room and honestly, he wanted to laugh so hard at how petty she was being right now. By the time he returned to the room, Anna had already put on her panties and was standing before her wardrobe, searching for a dress to wear. He walked towards her and put his arms around her, pulling her back so she could lean back against his chest. "I honestly don't know why you're crying like this happened before a whole lot of people. It's just me and you and there's nothing you should be embarrassed over." "Okay." Was all she gave in reply. She pulled away from him and returned to searching for what to wear. "Oh, come on. Is that all you have to say in reply? I know y

    "What are you doing here this late, Kevin?" A sleepy lady in an ivory night dress asked, rubbing her eyes. "Didn't you hear the explosion, Maya." Kevin asked weakly. "I felt the vibration. Wasn't that from the presidio of San Francisco?" Kevin shook his head. "It was from my condo." Maya gasped and immediately let him in, hurrying towards her bar to get him a drink. Kevin was so tired from the events of today. He flopped down on the sofa close to the bar so it was easy for Maya to get him a drink and pass it to him. He took the bourbon from her hands and gulped its content, squeezing his face as it burned his throat. "Thank you." Maya sat down on the sofa facing him. She pulled her night dress down her knees and when Kevin noticed what she just did, he raised a brow. "What happened? Tell me everything." Maya inquired. Kevin leaned back on the seat and raised his head to watch the ceiling. "A lot has happened. It's a really long story."

    A Tesla model car cruised into a large condo gate that opened automatically. When the car came to a halt, Kevin stepped out, aware of the fact that the house was eerily quiet. He didn't hear the noise from his kids coming from inside the house. He sighed and took out his phone, stepping into the porch and using a voice key to open his door. It beeped but didn't open. Kevin frowned. He used his card instead. It still beeps, showing that it had accepted his card, but still didn't open. That was when he got a notification on his phone. Kevin stepped backwards and turned swiftly. The door to his Tesla opened, sensing his body heat and adrenaline rush. It cruised out of the gate and it had gone no further than the next two buildings before a blasting explosion was heard. He didn't feel the impact bodily, but in his heart, he felt it. He lowered his head and gave thanks to whoever was up there. He needed to get a very large and expensive gift for Maya for going agai

    Anna was sick and worried now. She couldn't stop pacing about the living room. Casey and Augustus were worried too, but they were very good at composing themselves. Anna had woken up as early as six and had taken a trip downstairs when she didn't find Lucian in bed or anywhere in the room. Augustus and Casey were fast asleep on the couch, but she hadn't hesitated to wake them both up. They reassured her that he would soon return. Six was a bit early if they decided to book a morning flight. She wasn't satisfied with their answers, but then. Wendy came in an hour later, asking if both of the men had returned. Replies were negative, but she still had hope that they would return before afternoon. Anna had refused to eat breakfast. Any time she got really worried about something, her appetite always flew away into the thin air. Now, it was nearing evening and the whole estate was already aware of the absence of the Alpha and his Beta. Nobody was to leave the estat

    "Hello, this is Georgina from Element 14 speaking. Mr Kevin has scheduled a date with you this evening by six pm. He expects you to wear a red velvet dress coupled with silver pumps." Maya was abashed. "Thank you very much, Gina. Relay this message back to him. Tell him that I will be absent. I have important things to do." Georgina, who was staring directly at her boss, bit her lip nervously, but nodded nonetheless."Alright, ma'am. I will return this message to him." Georgina dropped the receiver and cleared her throat. "She says she will be absent. She has important things to do. " Kevin sighed and rubbed his temple. He nodded and walked back to his office. When he got to his office, he kicked a glass vase standing beside the entrance to his office. His boot took the impact and cushioned whatever pain he was to have later. He was really frustrated. Maya was not picking his calls. He had called her several times today (though, it was just five times, it coul

    There was a loud bang. Lucian jerked awake. The room was dark and the only light seeping through was from a 2x2 window situated above his head. He was disoriented for just a few seconds before he took note of his surroundings. Immediately, he whipped his head around in search of his friend. Felix was at the other end of the room snoring like he was a human who had drunk a barrel of rum. He was tied to a chair with a really thick jute rope and was unable to move. Even his feet were bound to the iron feet of the chair. Lucian bent forward. "Hey! Felix!" He whispered a scream. Felix didn't budge. He was still unconscious. Lucian decided to wake him using telepathy. He closed his eyes and tried to connect with Felix's mind. It turned out that he couldn't even connect with Felix's mind train. It felt like there was a barrier stopping him from connecting with his friend and when he looked around to find the source of the problem, there was none. Suddenly

    Walter could walk on his own without the aid of a wheelchair or crutches. Though there was a limp in his movements, he could do just fine and the regular exercises he participated in helped a great deal. Walter was plotting. As he took power walks down the aisle that had been mounted in his node, his mind worked mach 5. He had never been this determined to bring something down his whole life. Nora would regret leaving him for another man; an enemy that he had sworn to kill. His doctor had left after taking record of his vitals and here he was, exercising his body and getting ready for whatever was to come. "I can see that you're in good shape, Walter. " Walter slowed down to a halt and turned his body towards the entrance of the node where Kevin stood. "Yes, I am." Walter replied, breathing heavily. "Can we talk for a few minutes?" Walter nodded and went over to the railing where his towel hung. He removed it from the hanger, wiped his face and pick

    “Yes! I felt it. Look at your skin, olive. Not something Hollywood uses to artificially tan their skin. It's so natural. Your hair tells another story. Not American at all. You're mixed?" Lucian nodded and just as she was about to ask another question, Felix was standing behind her chair, one hand on her head rest and the other, on the arm rest of the seat. He gave the stunned lady a beautiful smile, took her hands and placed a soft kiss on it. "Name's Chase. What's yours, beautiful?" The lady swallowed. Her heart was beating real fast and she was having issues with breathing. "Nao— Naomi Sparks!" She stuck out her hand awkwardly. Felix, still with the seductive expression, smiled at her. "Nice to meet you, Naomi. You're really beautiful, I must say." The lady blushed beetroot red. "Thank you. You're not bad looking either." Felix placed a hand on his chest and closed his eyes in heartfelt gratitude. "Can we switch seats?" Naomi nodded i

    Anna woke up feeling energized. Lucian was not on the bed beside her and she guessed that he had already left the estate for whatever meeting he had with the council. The curtains were drawn to let light in and when Anna checked the digital clock sitting on the wooden bedside table beside her, it read twelve twelve. She sat up and threw back the covers, gasping in surprise at how long she had slept. Wendy would have knocked on the door with breakfast in hand and that would have been two or three hours ago. Anna rubbed her forehead and sighed. Self conscious about her appearance, she walked to the mirror standing before Lucian's dress stand. Noticing that she was close to being naked in her bikini from last night, she squealed in horror and threw open his wardrobe in search of something to cover up her body. She did not want Wendy to find her looking like she had been savored last night. Lucian's wardrobe was filled with clothes and she pushed really hard before
