Division 24The man looked confused."The deaths? It has been peaceful in this area."Beatrice frowned."How so." She mumbled to see a figure leave the church through the other door close to a burner."Ha! Something is burning." She said, and the father turned to have his eyes widened.They both walked to the pulpit of the church and behold a book was on the burner while the fiery fire burned.Father Jude had gone to bring water to quench the fire and when the fire that had been burning was quenched, Beatrice squinted her eyes to see that three of the books in the burner had burnt to ashes but one had not burned..not a single scratch on its body."Is it your father?" She asked, to have the father shake his head."We have never had such a book in the church before. It is said to be a way itches' book that is not supposed to be held. A woman was burnt to death last month for possessing such books." The father said to have Beatrice nod.Then how come was it in the church?Turning to the d
Chapter 25The mansion was quiet.Two women could be seen sitting on the couch, one was found reading and the other was found writing a letter."Are you thinking of wooing the man? I thought that was for men to do." Beatrice said, reaching out for the letter only to have it pull away."No one is supposed to read this, till I'm done with it.""Okay." Beatrice nodded, yawning as she stood up with the book she held.It was not so important as she had guessed.It was a book map to show places where different flowers could be found.Why would anyone go around to look for flowers?She flipped the other place and her eyes settled on the dark but that covered the whole page."Hmm.. fascinating." She mumbled.Flipping the other page to read what it was used for, her eyes widened to see it in full.The Dark Blue over the years has been used to clear out as many vampires as there are if one could behold the book...Nations would fall and the...'Bang.' She closed the book quickly and scoffed.And
Chapter 26"The church close to the library?" The Lord asked.Beatrice nodded, wondering how the Lord knew about the church.The church didn't look like a church at all, lawns and weeds had begun to grow around the church making her wonder if at all.. anyhow goes there to worship."I see." The Lord said, narrowing his eyes at the burning bush."What do you want to do with that bush Lord..." She trailed off and gave him a knowing smile.The man sighed."I want to clear out the entire vampire race with this flower." He answered to have her smile."How good of you, to burn all and take just one. If it took one to kill us all, I bet we would be no more ever since." Silence reigned between them as they both watched the fire."You shouldn't have come here, it is not a place to trespass." The Lord said to have Beatrice snort."And here I was thinking it is a place for lovers.""My my...I never thought Miss Beatrice has taken a fancy to me. Why would I refuse a lady." The Lord said to have B
Chapter 27A few days passed after Beatrice lost the book of flowers.Although she had taken her training and exercise, her powers were leaving more than she had ever expected.Standing on the patio, she watched Lady Herbert and one of the councilmen get into a carriage."Grandpa asked to bring the books out of the library. He's going to go see the medicine man in Nalish." She hears Mel's voice from behind her."They aren't leaving for good. This is just temporary." She mumbled, clenching her fist hard and opening them to see her palm red."You've lost all your strength Beatrice and the only reason you're still up and walking is that you're a cold-blooded vampire.""You need not tell me that, I know it," Beatrice replied, her hands leaving the rails."Where are you going?" Melinda asked, seeing her headed for the door."I have something to do in the church, I will be back before nightfall." She said, grabbing the cost that was hung on a chair and covering her body."I will come with y
"Ahhhhh!" A scream tore out from a little boy's mouth, as he held the iron firmly not letting go as he was being pushed forward. "Kill him, kill him...cleanse the quarters of his demonic powers. Kill him! Tear his body, stake him to get back out ancestral powers." The people shouted as they gathered around the fire."He's just a little boy mama, you can't stand still and watch them kill him.""Quiet Now! It is unholy for a woman to give birth to something like this Aras. He will die and our ancestral powers will dominate the land." The older woman hushed her daughter as she walked forward with candlelight"We need a cleansing, and to have our altar cleansed of the demonic powers we have to sacrifice one of our own...one of our own and the blood of the others to keep the power flowing." The older woman yelled, not caring about the tears of the little one that was said to be her grandchild."Cleanse the quarters!" The people kept yelling as they packed more sticks and wood to build a f
Chapter 29It was happening too fast that Beatrice couldn't understand what was happening.Men in black attire as that of the witches descended the trees, arrows behind them as they clutched their bows tightly.They were Twenty in number, some with their sword and some with spears.Another came for Beatrice as the Lord had left to go fight the tougher ones.His blades make a swishing sound as it in the air.Beatrice grabbed the sword at the edge, pushing the man backward to see him frown."How powerful for a human." He mumbled before coming at her again at full speed, dropping his sword and using his hands.She grabbed his arm this time, breaking his elbow and kicking his right leg such that he fell on his face head-on.Turning to see the other ones attacking Father Jude just as their carriage had just stopped at the scene, she ran to go help him with another arrow flying towards her and pierced her skin just behind her shoulder bone.She screamed in pain, turning to see the man comin
Chapter 30Beatrice lifted the apple-like map and frowned when she looked down the floor to see apples around...close to the small tree that had the signs on it."Isn't this the same path?""Father Jude, do you think they might have shifted the place?""It says to have Patience. It is here somewhere." Picking up her dress that was sweeping the ground filled with dry leave, she began to walk to the forest where the Lord and the rest were going as well.The forest was a beautiful place that had large trees with canopies that covered the sky.Birds chirping could be heard as they walked deeper into the forest, following the map.They got to a place and Beatrice stopped to see the Lord staring at a tree."Is there a problem Milord?" "Hmm. This tree seems off. This is the first time seeing such a huge tree in Viscoria." The Lord answered, staring at the wide roots it had.It had long roots and branches that came out of the ground, making the surroundings look like an evil yard."Father J
Chapter 31Beatrice that had been standing there watching the Lord had a smile on her face as she watched the Lord display power to the witches.She was so angry about her powers leaving.She didn't like that she was the only person that was not doing anything at all.Turning to see Melinda and Father Jude that stood by as they had arrived late.She sighed.Her eyes widened when she saw something move around the campfire before walking past the many witches.It was like a spirit that moved with the fire.She was about to yell when it flew in her direction and went into the bush.She fell, her hands and dress getting dirty due to the muddy ground."Do you need help?" She looked up and it was the Lord."Ha! Why not? When such a fine man is trying to help. who I'm I to say no." She said, and the Lord nodded and pulled her up while holding her waist cause her hand had gotten dirty."Mmm, how delicate her hands are. How many women have they touched so far?" She asked, smiling at the Lord.
Chapter 81Walking into the Mansion with the Lord to where the sword was dropped.Beatrice picked up the sword."Are you ready?" The Lord asked, his lips raising to a smirk."I am. Are you ready as well?" She asked, a smile forming on her lips as she watched him.He nodded, picking up a plate that was on the other table."Your hand. Raise your hand Beatrice." He said, and she did as she was told.Picking up a spoon, he spooned out a little of the ash and placed it on her palm."How does it feel?" He asked, after a minute pass."It's hot... it's getting hot, so hot." She mumbled."Don't throw it. Leave it there for a while. Bear the pain." He mumbled."It hurts." Beatrice blinked, a tear leaving her eyes to rest on her cheek."So...little." The Lord whispered, raising his hand to clean the tear that left her eyes."It hurts and you're mocking me!" She glared at him.The Lord picked up the sword and placed in on her palm."Without dusting the Ashe, try to unsheathe the sword." The Lord
Chapter 80"Aren't you the prettiest Luna?" Beatrice giggled at Herbert's words.She couldn't contain her happiness at the moment.She never knew the party would end like that.She had never expected the Lord to crown her Luna in front of everyone present.Was this what the party was for after all?"I'm so happy for you Luna." Yuan gave her a tight hug."Thank you." Beatrice mumbled turning to the other person behind her."Alpha Zane." She greeted and the nodded."How have you been Luna Beatrice?" Alpha Zane greeted with a slight bow."I have been well." Beatrice said, smiling at the man.Come to think of it, he was the very first person to know she was the Lord's mate cause she could recall that time she and Melinda had come to the Tea Party they Lord had assembled only to be dragged to the Lord by the man."You have a lot on your mind." He chuckled. A low chuckled that made him more Handsome.He had a little hint of the devil, and it made him look like the Lord in some way."I've al
Chapter 79Beautiful smiled as they Lord led her to the dance floor. Bringing her dress that touched the floor to her sides so she could dance well, her hands were wrapped around the Lord's neck while the Lord's hand around her waist as they danced to the beautiful rhythm of the song."No one is as beautiful as you Beatrice." The Lord said and she chuckled."And no one is as handsome as you Milord." She said for him to nod."You didn't even have to say it Beatrice, i know."That smirk on his face made her shook his head.Narcissistic!"Did you mix the item you had wanted to mix Milord?" Beatrice asked to see the Lord nod."How unromantic." He ticked his tongue."I have done it all, they only thing left is for you to grab the sword and unsheathe it. It will be magnificent." He mumbled, pride laced in his voice."Ahem!" Someone coughed beside them, making they couple look behind them."Milord. Lady Beatrice." A man bowed.The man Beatrice recognized as Sir Raymond."Will you like to ma
Chapter 78The carriage rode into the field of the Mansion and they both got out."Milord." It was butler Declan who walked towards them with his head lowered to the ground."What is it Declan?""It was Sir Raymond Sire, he dropped a letter. It is an invitation to his ball party.""What is it about?" The Lord asked, a frown forming on his head.He didn't want to busy himself with measly parties. He had something important to do."It is for the Lord's of the four land." Sighing, the Lord rubbed his forehead and nodded, as they walked into the Mansion."I can go in your stead Milord." Beatrice said, running his back.Seems like the Lord was indeed tired."Will you now?" He smiled and she nodded."Okay, stay with Herbert and Yuan when you get there. I will meet you there late." The Lord said for Beatrice to nod as he let of her hand and she walked up the stairs to prepare for the ball party.An hour later and she was dressed and ready to leave for the party.Getting into the carriage, s
Chapter 77"Now, enough of this talk. What did you come to find today?" Father Jude asked, dropping the rake on the floor as he went to the small bowl that had water in it to wash his hands."The Lord found another method to unsheathe a sword." Beatrice said for the man to nod."There is no method use in unsheathing a sword Beatrice. It depends if the sword is ready to be unsheathe or the sword doesn't belong to that person." The man said."It does belong to me." Beatrice said, her brows knitting to a frown.Base on what she had been told, the sword belonged to her.Everytime she touched the sword, it glimmered with power and light."So what do you want now?' She asked."Ash from the fire side of the church.""Is it the cedar wood or the olive wood?" The man asked.Turning around to see the Lord outside the church who had not made any attempt to leave where he had been standing outside, she sighed and walked out of the church."Milord.""They wraiths in the church won't let me in. Do
Chapter 76Picking the sword and dropping it on the table, Beatrice sighed as she watched the Lord take off his shirt.They were about to test something about the sword and he was taking off his shirt?Why was he taking off his shirt? She coughed, shaking her head as she turned around not to see him."You've already seen everything sweetie. Why turn around?" He asked, and she rolled her eyes.She had almost forgotten that the Lord was nothing but a perverted man with a perverted mind."I'm done." She turned around, hearing his voice."What are we doing now Milord?' She asked, picking up the sword that was taken from the Barbarian Leader. The sword that had chosen her, where she was yet to process the whole thing.The sword that had been handed down from her mother to her had not been unsheathed yet and now she was about to begin another session with another sword."Are you okay?'"Are you sure it choosed me? Some things aren't what it seem." She answered to see the Lord smile."Are yo
Chapter 75When the got to the Lord's mansion, it was already afternoon as they had stopped at many places for the Lord to deliver something to people."Hmm...the grasses has grown." Beatrice said, looking at he grasses that had grown at the sides of the Mansion where the horses were allowed to graze."Declan and some other men had gone to Nalish to help Niklaus deal with something in his mansion. There was a problem of a witch and the council had been questioning a lot of his maids and butler and Declan wanted to help." The Lord said, helping her down the carriage.Stepping down Beatrice nodded, looking over to the huge field one could see from where she stood.Unlike the sides of the Mansion, the field was the very same as it had been days ago when she had left."Did you bring the sword?" Beatrice asked."It is already inside" The Lord answered, gesturing to the Coachman to leave.The Coachman sighed, thanking God that his master would not be going any other place or else he would n
Chapter 74"Why couldn't he get an assistance for himself dear sister?" Beatrice asked."Are you being happy for me? Or yoire being jealous dear sister?" Melinda glared."Why not? I'm so happy for my sweet sister right now but why would I be jealous? I have someone better." She said the last part In a cough to hear Melinda scoff."Acting rude?""How could I not? When my dearest only sister had not spoken to me for a while now in peace...but when it involves the Duke.. she's smiling like something never happened at all." Beatrice snorted."You should be happy I'm even talking to you." Melinda retorted."Oh..how glad I am." "Keeping things from your only dearest sister." Melinda mocked, sarcasm laced in her voice."Well..... didn't I say sorry already?" Beatrice shrugged."And on what part did I hear the sorry? Saying sorry rudely doesn't count! Some sorry doesn't come from the heart! And do you know what hurts...is that you've only just met the man, whereas I was and always have been
Chapter 73"Well, according to what i was told." The Lord began.."I began to talk at the age of One, faster than many other children. My fangs grew and my eyes darkened." The Lord said.Beatrice's eyes widened and she chuckled."You were indeed stubborn Milord. Right from birth." Beatrice mumbled."Niklaus was the only one who turned out to be so slow. At two, he still couldn't talk and his fangs didn't grow out. Aunt Miralle was so worried about him...even Zane grew faster than him but Niklaus turned out to be a strong one.""Didn't you say he couldn't even beat Alpha Zane?" Beatrice asked."If it were a real fight, he'd kill Zane before the fight begin. He's fast, agile and a cold-blooded vampire with a little amount of wolf blood in him." The Lord said, making Beatrice's eyes widened the more."He's a Hybrid?""Not a full blown one. He's a cold-blooded vampire and has a little wolf blood in him. His father is my father's uncle.""Did you two get along? How did he become the Lord
