Kansas 1918.During the Spanish Flu.The government documented a death rate of 718 people per 100,000 population because of the flu pandemic also known as the Great Influenza epidemic or by the common inaccurate name Spanish flu.Unbeknownst to them, this number also includes those patients Dr. Lazarus Lunaris, killed while they were asleep out of sinister pity and some he tried to turn into Vampires. Wherever he goes, death follows.“Another specimen in the bin,” he said as he threw the body of a young soldier in the grave. “New day, new set of failures,” he added in disappointment as he glanced at the numerous bodies that he was about to bury. “317th body this year,” he mumbled to himself as he rolled the body of a tall burly man beside the young soldier. “Why is it so hard to turn people into vampires?” He yelled internally and continued burying one body after the other. He was done for the night and was about to leave when he suddenly heard a faint knocking sound.He glances arou
~Come inside, it's fun in here.~Lazarus' statement was filled with poisonous riddles and insanity. Vesper's face expresses confusion as she winces in pain from his grasp.Before any of them could react, the veins from Qillalon's hand started moving towards Vesper's skin as if merging the two of them.She moved her gaze towards Gertrude as if begging her to do something.Gertrude was about to start chanting when a bright light blinded them. When the light disappeared, Vesper lost consciousness and her hand was covered in the Alpha's decaying flesh as if he was starting to eat her.“Qillalon,” Quillion ran swiftly to his son. He tried to move the unconscious Vesper, but their skin was intertwined with each other. “Need a little help,” he voiced out as he tried to separate the two. Velmont moved to the bed and helped Quillion, but noticed the harder they tried, the more Vesper's skin sank into Qillalon's flesh, merging them further. Meanwhile…Vesper lazily opened her eyes and adjus
Vesper smiled softly. “Hey,” she said while waving at the young Qillalon. She lowered her head, unsure how to talk to a child. She clenched the hem of her shirt and crouched down to him, ”Do you know where the older version of you is?” She asked nicely.The young Qillalon shook his head in confusion and hugged his mother tighter.“I don't think you work for Quillion. Who are you?” Samara asks and starts to become defensive. She clenched the large needles she was using and glared at Vesper. Vesper raises her hand in surrender, showing them that she means no harm. “My name is Vesper Miles and you are right. I don't work for your husband.” She explains.Samara stared at her intently.Vesper understood what her gaze meant. “I’m as puzzled as you are. I’m not supposed to be here, and you are not supposed to see me. This is a memory—”Samara raised her hand, gesturing for her to stop talking.“I know where I am, and I know what this is. I am aware that I am already dead. What I am right now
In a distant facility in the heart of Pennsylvania.Jacques, a young high-level wizard, hastily ran to the headmaster's quarters with a jovial, menacing grin on his lips. “In your face Gertrude Fallis,” he mumbled to himself.The tussle of his long black robe dances in sync with his movements. His mid-length black hair was braided in a French style, making him appear relaxed and friendly, but deep inside his blue eyes, he couldn't hide the pressure, the sleepless nights, and the uneasiness he'd been feeling recently.But not today—today is different. His magic finally possessed someone useful.After months of failed attempts to shake the Citadel manor, he finally has a break.He knocked on the headmaster’s door, and he was soon permitted to enter.Inside the chamber is a well-equipped medical room filled with machines that are usually present in the hospital.The buzzing apparatus, IV drips, and monitor all surround the lavish bed in the middle of the room.“What brings you here at thi
“I want to stay here a little longer but…” Vesper lowered her gaze to the sleeping young Qillalon on the sofa, “The Qillalon I know needs help.”“You’re stepping out?” Samara asks.Vesper nodded, “But before that, I need to speak to Lazarus and I need your help to test something…” She let her words linger.Without a shadow of a doubt, Samara agreed. With that, Vesper made her way to the guest room where Lazarus was patiently waiting for her.CONCURRENTLY…In Citadel Manor…The recently corrupted Eleanor headed to Elder Mauritius's room.She knocks on the door and the Elder lets her in.She bowed her head to the Elder, acting as if nothing was wrong with her. “What do you need, Eleanor?” The Elder asks.“I want to be part of the Citadel again.” She said as she slowly knelt in front of the Elder.Elder Mauritius squinted his eyes, observing her movements, trying to guess what she was up to.“I must say you are a strong wolf, no doubt, but…” He sighed deeply, “You’ve done too much ruckus
In a distant facility in Pennsylvania...As per request, Jacques stayed in the room as the Headmaster wanted to hear the real-time updates.“Headmaster, our little pawn is now part of Hercule Perrimont’s pack,” he declared happily.Planning how he will get back to Quillion and Mauritius once he gets a hold of the research for the regenerating medicine that will bring him back to his younger self, vowing to his fallen comrades that he will finish the job they started. "We annihilated the council of Vampires and all the old blood. We only need to kill the Elders and the Mafia lord," he said to himself while staring at the photo on his nightstand showing a group of young men and women in military uniform holding high-caliber guns while a white wolf was lying dead in front of them.The beeping and buzzing sound of the machines chimes with syncing glee, “Finally, good news after all the failed attempts you tried.” The headmaster says with a faint smile on his face.Jacques couldn't help bu
Delta Selene was tossing and turning in the bed. The black shadow she saw looming around Eleanor was keeping her wide awake. “What I saw was real, right?” She asks herself as she stares blankly at the ceiling. Her heart was pounding loudly in her chest. Nervous for a reason she couldn't explain. She starts biting her nails in unease as cold sweats form on her forehead. The nagging feeling is howling inside her waiting to be let out.She was so immersed in her thoughts that she got up from bed and started pacing in the room when suddenly the nightstand lampshade was switched on, startling her immediately that she almost stumbled onto the floor. She'd been thinking too much, forgetting that her mate was inside the room with her, and she had just disturbed his slumber.“Selene, it's one in the morning. Go back to sleep.” Alpha Cain suggested. His voice is dry and raspy, and he is obviously half asleep. She sighed deeply and sat on the bed, hands clenched in puzzlement. Alpha Cain no
Eleanor knocks on Qillalon’s door multiple times but no one answers. “Where are you?” She asks herself as she switches on her wolf senses, trying to locate him but to no avail. His scent had already scattered in the air. She soon opens a mental link to speak to Alpha Mercimer, who tells her that Qillalon was sent on a mission. She heaves a sigh of relief thinking that Vesper is not with him. She swiveled around the hallway when she was sure no one was watching. She pried open Qillalon’s door and entered it. She inhaled his scent in his room and lay on his bed. She hugged his pillows and nestled herself in his blanket, savoring every aroma he had left. Imagine the old days when she slept in his arms. His warm body touched her skin and his contagious smile with his perfect white teeth. She smiled from ear to ear, but her happiness soon ended when she caught another scent in the room. Her face slowly contorted in an unusual way. Her face was disfigured with a conflicting distortion
The next day…Gertrude continued to accompany Alpha Hercule from his chamber to the digital room, as Vesper needed to rest from last night's shameful event.Recollecting the incident from last night, Gertrude’s cheeks turned red like a ripe tomato, and she couldn’t stop smiling. Alpha Hercule noticed it immediately.He blushed seeing the charming reaction on the witch’s face. He glimpsed away trying his best to hide his admiration.He puts his hand in his pocket and starts whistling, keeping his mind off her gorgeous smile. Clueless to his feelings, she began humming to the melody of his whistle.He almost chokes at her actions.The Alpha could no longer hide his admiration and suddenly blurted out, “You… are so beautiful when you smile.” His face turned scarlet in shame, surprised by his abrupt statement.He opened his mouth but couldn’t form any more words. He lowered his head in embarrassment, wishing that the floor would drop under him.Gertrude giggled at his reaction, not thin
Pennsylvania…Jacques wanted to keep the incident that happened to Eleanor a secret from the headmaster, but before he could even come up with a lie, the headmaster saw through him.“What’s the issue this time?” He said, his voice was weak. Despite that, there was a menacing tone to it that Jacques understood immediately that he must tell the truth.Hearing no response from Jacques, the headmaster got angry, “Didn’t you hear me, boy?” He said with an annoyed voice.Cold sweat formed on Jacques's forehead, and he swallowed slowly, “It’s our pawn, Eleanor. She went inside Alpha Qillalon’s rooms to create a ruckus between him and his mate.”The headmaster’s brows furrowed. “The wolf from the rare bloodline. Because of this illness, I almost forgot about him.” He said to himself.“Make sure to keep the pawns aligned. Our main goal is to enter the digital room and get a copy of their research. Once I’m healed, we’ll take over everything they have.” He exclaimed raspily.The idea got him so
Vesper and Qillalon are caught in the moment when suddenly they hear a gut-wrenching shriek. Startling them both. They are so preoccupied with their lustful encounter that they never notice there’s another person in the dimly lit room.Qillalon and Vesper slowly moved to the bed and their eyes widened in surprise when they saw Eleanor lying naked on the bed.“What are you doing? How could you cheat on me, Qilli? After all, I’ve sacrificed to convince Zane to let me go.” Eleanor yelled in disdain, acting as if she'd been wronged. She started crying, “Didn’t you like our intercourse earlier? That you need to take this poor excuse of a human.” She clamored deliriously, trying her best to sow discord between Vesper and Qillalon.Clueless that the two were together almost 100% of the time.Qillalon’s lips quivered in confusion and an undeniable tension was in the air.“What the fuck?” These were the only words Vesper could utter as her eyes moved around Eleanor’s body and saw marks on he
“So Adrian?” A familiar voice muttered. Vesper spun around. Her eyes widened in shock, she didn't notice him approaching, “Hey, huh? You’re awake.” She uttered in surprise. He nodded with a grin on his lips.Soon, he handed her the ring back and began talking via a mental link.“How did you find me?” She asks curiously.“I have a mate radar.” He commented playfully.She smiled, seeing that he was as happy as before and the color on his face was back to normal."I tried calling you via mental link only to hear my father on the other line.” He said.She laughs, “That’s awkward.”“It is,” he replied merrily.“Gertrude gave my ring to him while we were asleep,” she explains.He glanced away and asked her again awkwardly, “Sooo… Adrian is your first love?”She shrugged, “I guess. He is this really nice boy. The first time I laid eyes on him. I felt that I could do good. The innocence he brought is just—”She hasn't finished his sentence when he suddenly silences her with kisses out of jea
