Crimson walls, headless corpses, screaming people and chaos in the bar wasn’t a new thing for King Casper, but Alpha Eric’s mind was hit by a bus, as he beheld the sight before him.“Close the doors and clean the premises.”King Casper ordered his minions calmly and then turned towards Eric, who was staring at them as if they just produced a rhinoceros from the floor.Casper could imagine the sparks in his brain, desperately trying to connect the dots and instead, just causing a short circuit.“Little one!”His questioning tone suggested otherwise, he was in denial of the obvious. It was fun to see him being the perfect example of a pop-eyed toy from one of the claw machines at the fun fair, King Casper chuckled.“Haven’t you seen a vampire attack in your life? It’s normal.”His overconfidence instantly vanished when Ben came to inform him.“We cannot find Her Highness. She is missing.”“Damn it!”He ignored his sire’s details and grabbed Eric’s collar.“You, you did this, Alpha. Your
Resting on the pile of the drained bodies, Charlotte was draining a boy, squeezing his petite body. Screams of that helpless prey suppressed in the loud party music; Taylor Swift’s tones were failed to reduce the horror of the bloodbath.As on a cue, the door of the bar banged open, revealing Alpha Eric and King Casper’s panicked figures.“You said everyone is under control!”Casper inquired his sire, who knelt on the floor immediately.“It was impossible to trap Her Highness in closed walls, we had to introduce some distraction to buy some time, Your Majesty.”“Little one!”Eric’s call was full of hope and fright, as he was expecting to be chosen and scared that she would reject him for a soulmate of her kind.Charlotte kept rubbing the remaining blood on her hands, as if she didn’t listen what was said around her.“Let’s get to the business!”Watching her ignorant state, King Casper received a silver dagger from his assistant and slashed his hand.“Your turn!”Another knife was pres
“Screw you, Charlotte. Who has asked you to eat like a beggar?”Puking nonstop for almost an hour, Charlotte decided to stay permanently in the bathroom.“Out!”Eric tried to help her, but she scolded him, not entertaining his glee of marking.“That was a drunk decision, Alpha. I will deal with you later.”Although, she cursed him openly, Eric sighed in relief on her usual mood.“How long will it take to remove the venom from her body?”Charlotte’s pale countenance was upsetting for him, he questioned the vampire doctor, whose medicine initiated this.“Her Highness has consumed a massive amount of food in a short time. It’s just a stomach bug.”The completion of the mate-bond came with the blessings of mutual feelings and emotions, Alpha was relieved that he could send energy for her rapid healing.But Rick was fairly agitated at Charlotte’s condition, bugging him nonstop.“Go and see mate. She is hurt.”Eric was about to pacify him like before, when a sudden beam of white light illum
“The Vampire King Casper Adino wants to visit Luna Charlotte Dietor to inquire about her health. Convey his best wishes for her recovery.”Eric read this official text a hundred times, not believing its single word.“That bastard accepted his defeat so easily? Impossible!”“I don’t like him anywhere near my Luna.”Rick was resolute with his decision. Beta Noah noticed his inner turmoil and suggested in an earnest tone.“Relationship between the Vampires and the Werewolves were never remained good due to countless battles in both races. But now, time has changed, and our Luna belongs to the Vampire Kingdom. We cannot stay on bad terms with them.You should show some flexibility for the one she respected as her King.”Noah’s honest perspective changed Eric’s mind, he typed.“I will wait for this meeting.”And reluctantly send it to the Court official’s member. Unknown to the fact that King Casper was right outside their mansion, expecting his approval.Dressed in business attire, he cam
Early in the morning, Charlotte woke up abruptly with a loud bang on the floor, her heart thumped at the possibility of something bad.“Eric?”She stretched her arms and searched for her beloved beside her, the empty bed confirmed her worst fear. Collecting every single speck of strength to get up, she walked out of the room by supporting her limp body against the walls.“Eric!”This name came out as a shriek, as the scene before her was a mini world-war three. Alpha was standing in the mess of different ingredients, milk boiling on the stove was burning the counter.Bubbling water and black coal like thing in the frying pan gave her a rough idea of the premises."Are you serious?"Eric hurriedly came forward and picked her up.“Why did you come out, little one? You should have called me.”“Like you were waiting for my call.”Charlotte adjusted herself in his arms and asked him to take her to the kitchen.“What is this?”A full pot of chilly was splashed on the floor, adorning cabinet
“Oh my goodness, is this for real?”Charlotte glanced at Casper’s disturbed face, and instantly felt contrite about her slip of tongue.“Yes, this is the only headache of the Vampire Kingdom. The Devil.”He drew two lines below this name to highlight it and pasted a post-it on the board.“As a tradition, it’s the era of his rise. This was the first issue which I was bombarded with at the first day of my crown.”Charlotte counted on her fingers and checked the date on her mobile phone.“Yes, you are right. It will be a blood moon soon and the devil will be out for the hunt again.”The mere mention of that sadistic murderer brought goosebumps to her skin. She gazed up at him, who was posting the details of the devil’s previous attacks.“The first killing spree was noticed in the late eighties, when a hundred corpses were found headless in a bar. The sheriff of the East London called it a homicide and tried to bury this matter, but my father lord investigated it in person.This commotion
The driver's odd silence was alarming, Ramla supported her out where Alpha crushed her in a hug.“Little one!”His anguished sobs flooded her emotions, Charlotte wrapped her arms around him. Her eyes wandered around for Liam, as his efficient news bulletin would clear the whole situation. But he was nowhere around in the grieving crowd.Then the two rows of coffins shattered her heart, the loss of warriors was a serious setback in the battle.She rubbed Alpha’s back to soothe his worry, it was a wide known fact that Eric was touchy about his Pack.Eventually, Eric’s sobs died down, he collected himself and took her to the mourning families. A total of twelve warriors lost their lives in the recent ambush, the entire Pack was covered by dark clouds of gloominess.Alpha and Charlotte paid their respects to eleven warriors and consoled their families, but a widow beside the twelfth coffin was curled on the ground, hugging her knees to her chest.“I am sorry for your loss, dear. Pack will
With the matters regarding the dead warriors attended by Lily, daily life in the Silver Moon Pack came back to normal after the three days of mourning.The horrible effects of the combat left deep traces on the Pack members’ hearts, but the weight of responsibilities put the routine back on the track.“I have compensated the dead warriors’ families. Go to visit soldiers in Pack’s hospital. They will feel happy to see their Alpha among them.”Eric listened to his mother’s command intently and went to see Charlotte first, she was recovering fast in the healthy atmosphere of her home.“I want to go with you.”Charlotte tried to convince him, but he didn’t want to lose the progress of the previous days.“Just a few days more, little one. Then you will take over all the responsibilities of my Luna.”The head warrior Julian came to her room shortly after Alpha left. His distraught face was the same as all other warriors.“This is the letter Sir Liam left for you.”He presented her with a wh
Five years later.“Now my girl is looking like a real princess.”Alpha Eric fixed Anna’s white frock and wore a gold chain around her neck, his eyes were filled with fatherly love.“I am hungry.”Little Anna cried out for food; this last-minute dress change was limiting the time of her preparation.“Do you remember your dialogues? Tell me?”Eric took her to the dining hall, where Orion served breakfast quickly.“If I meet the Moon Goddess in my dream, I’ll ask her for food for everyone.”“That’s my princess! Go for the audition and give your best. Your teacher will love it.”He praised her innocent act and fed her cereal gleefully.“Eric!”“Here we go.”Their happy session was ended by a warning hiss, Charlotte stormed out of her room.“Amy dressed Anna as a flower with great effort, she even tailored her outfit overnight. Why did you ruin her hard work?”She placed her hand on her back, walking through the corridors was a strenuous task for her in the seventh month of pregnancy.“I s
As soon as Casper destroyed Ramla’s curing pad, Charlotte’s pain came back in full intensity. She yelped and scratched her nails at the cage. The smell of the burning flesh suddenly overpowered the cocktail of different scents.Finally Eric started to respond to her efforts, his low growls motivated her dying courage. On the other hand, Ramla was struggling to resist those fire arrows, the unending sea of fire was consuming her power rapidly.“What do you think, Ramla? Your measly tricks can defeat the entire coven? The sacrifice of the Ring Fire Coven’s witches wasn’t for nothing.My ancestors are still with me, guiding me on every step. You cannot fight with me alone.”A ring of golden fire surrounded Lisa’s body, she rolled her sleeves and flexed her mark.“I am your sworn enemy and your worst nightmare, Alpha Eric. You signed your death order the day when you burnt my Coven alive.King Casper was just a way to approach you. I used his resources, as it was impossible for to take re
As a puppet, Charlotte received that silver knife with a smile and broke the necklace around her neck obediently. She didn’t even spare a glance at Eric, aimed the weapon towards her neck and locked her gaze with Casper’s dubious one.“Anything for you, Casper.”With that, she slashed her neck, blood gushed out of her wound. An involuntary howl came out of Eric’s mouth. The grim darkness prevailed before his eyes; the weakness of their bond shattered his soul.When he removed Melinda’s mark from his neck, he didn’t feel anything. But now a simple slash on their mark hurt like hell. He couldn’t even scream out his agony. Overwhelmed by helplessness, this torment was beyond his endurance level.On the contrary, the smile on Charlotte’s face was pleasant like winter’s sun. She raised that blade again.“It’s enough, Star.”Casper hastily grasped the blade and threw it away.“The removal of this mark will kill you. You are my beloved. I am not a heartless to hurt you like that.”Satisfied
The rattling of chains and squeaking of the iron tires shattered the eerie silence in the room, maids left quickly as that black cloaked man raised his hand.“The devil!”After seeing his bloodshed in the concert, Charlotte never thought that she would see him like this, but the silver cage behind that tall man paralyzed her for a moment.“Eric!”Her gut-wrenching scream resonated in the whole surrounding. Charlotte shot up to rescue him, but those restraints kept her in place. Eric's Alpha wolf was caged in a silver cage, two sired vampires settled the cage in the chamber and closed the door while leaving.Eric raised his eyes and whimpered, the extent of injury inflicted on him rendered him motionless.“How did you break into the security of the Royal Castle? You...”Charlotte was short of words to speak her mind, her heart pounded against her rib cage like a desperate prisoner, her breath hitched in her throat. That cloaked man stood still for half a day, the silence in the room wa
“My mate has left me.”Holding his head in his hands, Julian was wailing before his house. When he came back home after midnight, only emptiness welcomed him, seeping through his veins.Hearing his cries, the entire colony was gathered around him, the absence of Alpha Eric worsened his condition.“I thought that she forgave me.”Jason and Mathew were the last ones to join the grieving crowd, Mathew sat beside him.“Did she pack all of her stuff and left? And didn’t you mark her? Don’t worry, we will sort this out.”But Julian’s heart rendering tears fueled the fire of loneliness in his heart, his helplessness watered everyone’s eyes.“Ramla wrote a note for you. Read it.”Jason looked for Ramla in the house and came out with a paper. He handed him her last letter, but Julian threw it away.“I have read it. This is a lie. She made an excuse to leave.”Jason glared at his tear-streaked face for a while and counted to ten before bursting out.“After reading her goodbye note, you are cryi
“You didn’t pack my boxers.”Charlotte was balling her fists in the living room, whereas Eric was searching the bag efficiently at last minutes.“I asked you that if you wanted your boxers, but you said no. Why would I pack them?”She replied to him patiently, giving that Madam Lily was witnessing the circus.“Why don’t you ask mom? She knows what do I need in my vanity bag.”“You are not a child, Eric.”Charlotte’s hand flew to her mouth, as she and Madam Lily spoke this sentence simultaneously.“You both are bullying me. Great!”Eric stomped out to get his things from the room, Madam Lily said in a solemn tone.“I was used to do his work, as he was busy with important stuff. I didn’t realize that I was spoiling his habits.Don’t worry. I am his mother. I will straighten him like a line.”They left after the fifteen minutes argument, Madam Lily prayed to the Moon Goddess.“Please bless my children. They are happy after a long time. Please be gentle with them.”As soon as Eric’s car l
After staying alone for twenty-four hours, Noah started to feel ill and exhausted, unfit to perform the additional duty of the head warrior.“I am sick, please accept my one-day leave.”Eric mind-linked Mathew to keep an eye on him. As expected, Noah shifted on the way to his home bolted out towards his sister’s Pack.“He was lovesick, Alpha.”Mathew displayed his white teeth while reporting about the business work in New York, Eric fisted his hair in frustration.“This is not fair, little one.”He threw a heap of sixty files in front of Charlotte and cried out.“You have left all the work to me. I don’t even have time to breathe.”Eric pulled out his white handkerchief and waved it in front of her eyes.“Seize fire now. Get back to work.”Charlotte caught his peace offering and chuckled nervously.“I didn’t mean to give you a hard time. Leave this here, I will handle it. My laptop was bugging me, Sinjin is repairing it.”Eric sighed in relief that his mate was not angry anymore.“Why
Elijah Morgan handed a special message from the Alpha King to Alpha Eric, and commented on Jason, who was making faces at Mathew’s drink.“This vampire reminds me of someone very close to my heart. I am hopeful that he will be with me soon.”That psychopath had a flick of humanity in his cold eyes, Delilah opened a magical portal with a bright smile.“We will invite you to our small party. Just pray for us.”They left with the promise of meeting again, Eric was puzzled at these code wording.“May the Goddess Sanguis bless them with their desired wish. They have helped us a lot.”Charlotte sincerely prayed for that lycan couple’s well-being, Eric shuddered his shoulders and read the official letter.“What?”Charlotte swiftly peeked in and started laughing.“Now who is the good boy of the Alpha King?”“He stated that he is busy with his daughter’s mate problem. We will go on the Casper’s wedding to the King and Queen’s behalf.”Eric’s red face was displaying his control, he had to obey
“A special envoy from the Vampire Kingdom is asking for permission to enter our Pack. What’s your command, Alpha?”Beta Noah was on the border’s duty in the absence of Julian, he mind-linked Eric when he was having breakfast.“Send him in. I am in the dining hall.”.“Greetings, Alpha Eric.”That coffin-faced (dead inside) vampire lord presented a red envelope to Eric, and then spoke respectfully.“Second envelope is for the lady Beta. Where can I see her?”“Mr. Beta can also receive this.”Noah snatched that bag, as he had literally imprisoned Angie after coming back from America. His sister Milly was in the Pack for a rest after giving birth, so Angie’s interaction with others was reduced to nil.“His Majesty has ordered me to hand over this letter personally to lady Beta. Please understand.”Charlotte stared at his stilled pupils and eyed Eric.“Let him meet Angie. He is under the command of his King.”“This is barbaric.”Eric tore down the seal and opened the case.“Same as Alpha
