Felix was behind the door and Lucian welcomed him with a glare. "How are you here? I thought you still had a few weeks left before being discharged?" Felix frowned at the mess before him before replying to Lucian. "I'd prefer being locked up in a cell for three years over that place that reeks of disinfectant and old ladies hitting on me."Lucian barked out a laugh and fist bumped with his friend. It felt good to have Felix back by his side. Everything had been chaotic in his absence. It was a relief, really. "Why's this place messy? What have you done?" Lucian surveyed his study again along with Felix who stood by his side looking confused. "I found something. A book. I think it's going to help a great deal. Can you read and understand Greek properly? Koine to be precise." Felix rolled his eyes. "Crocodiles are herbivores." Lucian left him where he stood and went to his table, feeling suddenly energized. Maybe seeing his friend was the trigger. He w
"Petl, I made a grave mistake that night and I never want to repeat it. We had sex and I take the blame for using your feelings to take advantage of you." She hit his chest. Lucian leaned forward and pulled the door shut. He didn't want the walls hearing what they had to say. "You didn't take advantage of me! I wanted it the same way you did. It was mutual."Lucian shook his head. "It wasn't, Petl. It wasn't mutual. I didn't feel anything. I only wanted to satisfy myself and I made a wrong decision by preying on you. Please, can we not talk about this?" Petl sniffed and wiped her face with the back of her sleeve. "Is this what it is? Is this what it is? Are you going to pick that lady over me? She's human, remember? She's a filthy human. From a race you despise, remember?" Lucian nodded. His eyes were distant. "I am aware of that. It's not my fault that my wolf cries for her all the time. I didn't choose this.""Nora's awake. Oh my God, she's awake!" Petl, Lucian,
Felix laughed. "Ooh, I like it when you're like this." "Let's go, boys." Alex called from outside the room. Lucian and Felix looked back to see the room empty. The only person present was Nora who was laughing at their expression of surprise. "How did he…?" "You were too engrossed in making me admit something that's not true to notice them leave the room. Let's go, dude." Lucian and Felix waved Nora goodnight and left the room. Augustus shut the door and followed them to the entrance of his house. "We'd see you at the square?" Alex asked. Augustus nodded. "What for?" Lucian asked. "Did you just ask that question?!" Felix exclaimed. Lucian looked from Felix who had a defeated expression on to Alex who was totally disappointed and to Augustus who shook his head looking amused. "What's going on?" Lucian chuckled, confused as hell. "The festival of the Lunatic is on Tuesday next week and we're going to the Town square to perform rituals for
Kevin slipped out his phone from his jacket pocket and turned it on. There was a text from his screen. It was from his wife, Adriana. She'd gone on a vacation to Maldives and had sent him pictures of her. He wasn't interested. All he wanted from her was to be discreet and not divulge her identity. Kevin swiped the message and went ahead to tap on his contact icon. He dialed a number and after three rings, the receiver picked up. "Kevin."He smiled. He'd been dying to call her for the past three days and now, hearing her speak incited nothing but warmth in him. "Maya, how are you doing?" "I miss you, Kev. When are you going to make time to see me?" Kevin heard the voice of someone familiar and looked up from his phone. It was Ryan, but this time, he wasn't alone. He was with three other men and in their hands were guns. "Can I give you a call later?" He rose from his seat. Maya sighed. "Not again. Kevin, you do this–" Kevin hung up. "I'm sorry, Maya.
"Kevin, you're not going to like what is going to come to you if you just leave without hearing me out or providing a solution to the problem on ground right now." Ryan warned. Kevin sighed and made to leave his seat only to be blocked from making a move by the desperate man. "Can I pass, please?"Ryan provided no reply. His hands went to his belt and extracted a pistol. He raised the gun to Kelvin's face and clenched his fists around the butt of the gun. Kevin spluttered a laugh. "Can you move out of my way? I don't have time to play right now. I need to be with someone." "Well, I'm sorry to tell you that you're going nowhere till you provide an answer for me. Kevin nodded, lowered his head. Before Ryan could say 'a', Kevin's left hand gripped Ryan's wrists and his right hand went around the butt of the gun. He twisted Ryan's hands and collected the gun. A proud laugh escaped his chest. "I told you. You're shocked, ay?" I can see it in your eyes. From Ke
10000 years in the pastLocation: Vamparia “.. like I was saying, we have to keep on moving as a race and the only way forward is by making changes. Many changes needs to be made henceforth," Kleo placed her hands on the back of the officer's shoulder who had been casting lustful eyes at her and he quickly composed himself..“Tell me, what's your name?" She said to him and he swallowed down softly.“Alax, my Queen."“Lord Alax, do tell me what was your position during the blood father's reign?" “I was one of the generals in the royal army, my queen." He replied somewhat proudly.“I am sure you served the blood father well but I won't be needing your services any longer." She said,“B.. But why? my queen." He looked shocked.“Do you really want me to answer that question? Perhaps then you will know the gravity of your crimes." She said in an intense manner and he buried his face in shame.“Get him out of my sight, this minute." She ordered and two soldiers dragged him away.Everyone
10000 years in the past.Location: Grenalia“Raise the alarm, the army of the wolves arrives!." The soldier standing as a watchman on a high tower of the walls of Grenalia announced.The large bell rang and everyone was alert but nerves became somewhat at ease as the soldiers of the wolves raised the white flag of peace in the air...“What's causing the commotion?" The king asked as he came out of his chambers in his royal robe and his beautiful crown on his head.”Some troops of the Werekult are at the gate, your grace." One of the soldiers standing guard at the king's chambers replied.“The wolves?.." The king realizes that the presence simply means his daughter, princess Anna has come.”Anna." He hurriedly walked away to the large gates of the walls and his soldier guards kept tab with him.“Open the gates!" King Stefan commanded in a high spirit as he got to the gates and large gates were opened up....Meanwhile,“I can't believe I am here, back home." The excitement could be c
Location: GrenaliaInside and outside the large, majestic palace of Grenalia was filled with citizens of Grenalia and other human nations who had come to celebrate the return of the princess of Grenalia and just as the king had promised. King Stefan threw a large feast to welcome everyone who came. Everyone was invited to come and there was an abundance of food and wine to fill their tummy. There was also lots of entertainment. Dancers as well as musicians were present at the palace and outside the palace as well to entertain the king, his guests - the wolves and his people...Inside the King's courtyard“Join me and raise a cup for the return of my precious daughter, princess of Grenalia and now the new queen of Werekult!" King Stefan said, raising his large jar up in a merriment spirit. There was a great cheer from the crowd present inside the palace and those outside as the palace doors were not closed.Everyone raised up their cups just as the king had requested and they drank
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
