“It’s an outdated trick to pretend injured or dead to hunt. Level up your game, sired one! Humans are more smarter than this.”This made that vampire opened his milky white eyes, barely moving.“My sire! He is angry! This is my punishment. I, I can’t …”His dried up veins and darkened complexion was obvious enough to depict the extent of brutality.“What type of stupid punishment his Sire chose for him?”That vampire was in the middle of life and death as his Master sucked out his venom from his body. He couldn’t die as his soul was still bound to his Sire and can’t live as pure blood’s venom was out of his system.Charlotte shuddered at the cruelty of his Master, who deliberately put him in this misery. She pinched her finger and poured a few drops, merely as an instinct but this little favor was a life source for him. He jolted up by those blood drops,“How can I address you, my savior?”He lowered his head and knelt down, showing his gratitude.“My name is not necessary. Just compl
“Is everything alright?”Charlotte posed a question while removing her quilt.“Pack your bags, Charlotte. My dream summer wedding, it’s happening!”Her face was dazzling with happiness like full of life, joy and spring. Charlotte was on cloud nine.“You lucky girl! How it turned out like this?”It was Ava’s biggest fantasy to have a beach themedWedding Ceremony. Her wish list, scrapbook and even review book was filled with pics and arrangements of the Ceremony. Everything was planned from the venue to the dress, only groom was missing.Ava was like a howling beast that keeps one awake at night, speaking loudly,“Allen won the competition of hand to hand combat in Academy. As a reward, his trainer approved his leave application. Ceremony is on Saturday.”“What! This Saturday?”Charlotte was stupefied with this urgency but it was reasonable.“He is at home for a week then I will move with him. I have signed up for the warrior's training.”Well, it was something brand new for Star as cr
Although the ceremony was in the evening but the preparations were all done. Ava hugged her tightly, not giving her a chance to place her bags.“You finally made it, Charlotte!”Charlotte patted her back for a length of time.“You are totally changed. Perfect! This is the best solution for your fear of rejection. Now, I am sure that your beloved wouldn’t even think about abandoning you.”“Who’s talking about this nonsense?”A pleasing young man emerged from the bedroom, wrapping his arm around Ava’s shoulder protectively."Nothing, dear. Have a seat!"They all sat down in the living room whose setting wasn’t change a bit after all these years.“She is Charlotte, my friend, whom I told you about. She was always so disheartened about her soulmate’s reaction but gist of the problem is solved now.”Allen was in bewilderment, like he was struck by a weird revelation.“She isn’t that Charlotte you showed me. That girl was seriously damaged.”Uncle Tadd coughed and Ava pressed his arm to sto
A bullet of panic rose in Charlotte’s throat. She rushed towards the nearest pillar and hid behind it. With the dizzying sense of anxiety, she focused on the conversation.“I have seen her coming here, yet you are denying that no girl named Charlotte William lives here. One second, here is her picture.”This was Beta Noah Anderson, reasoning with the security guard about her. It sent a brusque bolt of shock right through her, the thought of being stalked was like needles jabbing at her skin.She felt a dull ache in her chest that Alpha was still searching for her. After a momentary relief of hope, a deep sense of uneasiness held her tight.“He will kill me!”In her blind panic, she dashed towards her room, changed into jeans and shirt, retrieved the bottle of scent blocker and climbed the boundary wall to escape using her supernatural speed.Charlotte had used this scent blocker only once when she left her kingdom nine years ago. After leaving the Pack, she deliberately went to Ava’s
Supernatural creatures also have a classification system in them. Widely famous ones are shifter kind, having their unique life styles. Shifters also have variety of races but Lycans are on the top of them, claiming their unquestionable authority.Vampires and Werewolves were sworn enemies from the start. For other races, previous Vampire King fought with Alpha Lycan to prove his superiority. As anyone can guess, this ended badly for him, bearing heavy losses in his greed of throne. From that day, Lycans were hostile towards Vampires.Well, most of the time they were not pleasant and cool headed persons to bond with but still they treated other kinds with a flicker of humanity.It was better to stay away from them but the roaring monster outside was none other than a Lycan, a free ticket to the painful death.Despite of all the training she got in school, Charlotte was unable to vanish in the air. She peeped through the curtain and saw a horrifed Vampire Lord, trembling with fear.“Pl
Sometimes our lives are in so much mess that we just run blindly, trying to breakout from the chains of reality. Everyone says that running from problems is not a solution, its coward’s trait etc. But they don’t know there’s always a reason behind every gesture of this kind.Like suicide, have you ever wondered that why a single person dreaded so much to face tomorrow? What would be the thoughts while closing his/her eyes for the last time? Who was the reason behind this forbidden deed?...Although Lycans were allowed to run after ten minutes but soon Charlotte heard their approaching footsteps. Instead of getting shredded like a hunted prey, she decided to face them and stood beside a tree, witnessing her approaching death.“It was a nice journey, Star.”She smiled and closed her eyes as the monster jumped at her from ten feet distance.But surprisingly, she sensed someone coming from behind and then there was a loud thud, followed by loud, deferring growls.Charlotte opened her eye
“How the hell she got changed this much?”Carrying her in his arms, Alpha Eric was cursing over Charlotte’s metamorphosis. Considering her disturbed emotional state, Queen sedated her by spiking her drink, so she was sleeping peacefully in his embrace, allowing his wolf to calm down.It was just because of Royal command before, otherwise Rick wasn’t ready to leave her side even for a second. His attachment from the day one was now justified. He was able to feel the attraction of his mate even when she was underage.On the other hand, Alpha Eric was in the mess of emotions. He was angry that she left him, frustrated that he thought she was in the Vampire Kingdom all these years, bothered that her appearance got changed drastically as he was in love with her chubby body and anxious too!How will she react about their mate-bond?Charlotte had told him that she was waiting for her beloved and now, when he was her soulmate, will she be happy? Mates between Vampires and Werewolves were rare
Flash back.“I have heard that father caused an uproar in the Royal Castle. Am I right?”That was Sophia, inquiring about the official deal. This secret meeting was held on her request after Royal verdict. She was sitting across the table in Alpha Eric’s office, playing with her gown. Her serious tone was not complimenting her soft smile.“Yes, he has signed the Crescent Pack and the Crystal Moon Pack as your dowry. We are getting married soon.”Alpha Eric stated this big news casually as he was talking about someone else’s marriage. Sophia received the agreement papers with trembling hands, her face blanched with panic. She shook her head,“Dad is so impatient! This is a pathetic way to lose everything.”“Your father chose a safe future for you. I don’t think you are on a loser’s end.”Alpha sat back, playing with the pen in his hand..“I am the only one who is at loss here."Sophia smiled half-heartedly.“This Royal contract does not guarantee your loyalty. Who knows when you will
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
