Chapter 27 Hasty Retreat
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Both Alaric and Adrienne stared at Aunt Isobel.
Alaric stopped slicing the steak he had on his plate. Adrienne stayed beside the chair holding it by the frame. She slowly went to sit down beside her aunt.
Adrienne faced her aunt.
“But, I thought you came here so you can spend some time with us, Aunt Isobel?” asked Adrienne puzzled. “What happened?”
“Do you have any plans aside from staying here, Aunt Isobel?”
Alaric asked as he continued to slice his food on his plate.
“You can stay with us as much as you want. As long as you want.”
Aunt Isobel looked at the couple before she spoke. She smiled at them.
“As much as I would like to stay here until all these are over, your mom, Adrienne, Edana also wrote to me and asked me to stay with her. She asked me if I would like to visit Transylvania and I think now is the good time to travel to that country and spend my time

The bats kept coming flying above the gate once Aunt Isobel left in the carriage. The sound of the retreating horses from her carriage disappeared. Bats however zoomed in. They flew circling the towers and turrets of the Acheron castle. Their wings were flapping above and their squeaking noise was heard all around. It was supposed to be morning but with the gray clouds above them and the sudden rumbling of the sky on the horizon, it almost felt like dusk was soon to fall to the ground. And rain might be in the next couple of minutes. "What are all these bats swimming above the castle, Alaric?" Adrienne asked alarmed and uncertain as she looked up at the sky turning her eyes to the castle. "They're coming." Alaric said with foreboding. "Who are they that you are talking about?" she asked once more watching Alaric calmly looking at the bats above them. "Thana's associates, her family, the Society." And to further answer Adrienne's questions, carriages she'd never seen before ente
Bewitching The Deadly Vampire Chapter 1 Solitude Is A Blessing
She must leave. No one awaits her here. This is not where she belongs. She never even belonged the moment she stepped inside the castle to live among their kind. They have always been wary of her. She never mixed with them. She has never been seen among them. Until he came into her life, bringing her into the castle to live with him. To join his kind. To unify with him. Yet she never felt welcomed. She's been treated with indifference, coldness, and aloofness. They were different. She was different. She was a witch. A fire-witch. He was a vampire. A cold deadly one. They don't mix in the day and they don't blend in the night. She must leave at once. Now. Adrienne packed her bags and luggage that night and left Emrick Castle early in the morning the next day. She woke up before light hit the ground and she did her early morning routine in fast sure steps like usual only a little faster today as she couldn't stay soaked in her tub which was her favorite form of leisure and
Bewitching The Deadly Vampire Chapter 2 Death by Accident
It was a fine day to wake up. The early chirps of the birds could be heard outside. Adrienne Mallory stretched her arms past her head and released a big yawn. She removed the eye mask she had on. It was still dark and shadows enveloped her room. But a trace of light brightened up her dim room passing from the white laced curtain that covered the glass door of her bedroom leading to her own personal terrace. She stretched her legs and moved her toes under her blanket and after a while removed the blanket off her body. She moved to a sitting position and rose from the bed. She went down to the kitchen and filled the kettle with water and put it on the stove, switching the button with a soft click, and waited for the water to boil. And while she waited for the water to boil, she took a glass from the cupboard and filled it with water from the sink, drank from it, gargled, and spit into the sink. When the water boiled with the sound of steam blowing out of the kett
Bewitching The Deadly Vampire Chapter 3 Marriage is the Punishment
If someone could freeze the ground, time or human, no one would do it better than the vampire himself, Alaric Emrick. He’s a man feared among men. He’s a tall man with raven wavy hair and famous blood-red eyes. Being in his presence almost always means death. His voice alone which could cut thin ice means you’re at the gate of the inferno. His name was simply synonymous with a devil incarnate. Who else wouldn’t shrink before him? Alaric Acheron Lorcan Emrick is the current head of the oldest purest bloodline of vampires in Europe. He is currently the reigning youngest king of the vampire royals [in a millennium] at age twenty-four. As he happened to be standing just a few feet away from Mary, who already stood frozen to the ground, stonecold like a statue upon hearing his name, Alaric uncaringly walked brushing past her while two other men remained in their post standing behind Mary. He quietly walked towards the corpse and knelt to the ground feeling for

"Don’t think for one second I have fully agreed to marry you, Lord Emrick.” Adrienne Mallory said in a scathing voice while she was sitting on a red velvet seat opposite Alaric Emrick inside the carriage driven by a coach and his horses. She was still dressed in her wine-red gown covered by the soft thick black cloak on top of her dress where a golden string was tied below her neck. She had no time to say goodbye to Mary but simply wrote a note of her leaving. After hastily packing some of her dresses on her luggage as Alaric was insistent that they must leave immediately, Adrienne has no time to pick which she would have wanted to bring with her to the castle. He was by her room while she was packing her things watching every minute of her actions. “Don’t bother to bring your entire wardrobe to the castle. I’ll buy you all the dresses you need once you’re settled. You’re going to be my wife, after all, Adrienne,” said Alaric in a bored voice as she was fetch

Adrienne Mallory entered a dream. She was ten years old. It was nighttime. She was already asleep when she was forced to wake up by her mom and dad coming to her room with hurried movements. “Mom, Dad. What’s wrong?” she asked still groggy from sleep rubbing her eyes from the sudden intrusion of her parents. She was hugging her favorite white pink teddy. “Get up, Adrienne! We have to leave immediately! We’re going to your Aunt Isobel. You will stay with her.” Her mom said in a rush pulling her up. “Mom, why? What’s happening?” “Hush, sweetheart. It’s going to be okay. I promise.” Her mom said putting a jacket on her pajamas. “Mom, I need my blanket.” She said yawning and forcing herself to wake up. “You’ll get back to sleep once we’re at your aunt’s home.” “Okay,” Adrienne said. She felt herself getting carried by her dad behind his back. They went to her mom’s sister's house. Just as they had arrive
Bewitching The Deadly Vampire Chapter 6 A Royal Privilege
Every day he spent with Adrienne Mallory, Alaric Emrick could say that his icy personality had warmed. The fire-witch had brought him to see the other side of his personality that he hadn’t known much before he met her. He could say that the witch was getting on his nerves. In a good and a bad way. He controlled the wide smile on his face as he saw his first-in-command general Emrin Gustav looking at him and hiding his smile looking away from him. They were in his study while he simply watched Adrienne sitting by the bench on the outside ground of the castle through the glass-grilled window of his study. “You can join her, your highness,” suggested Emrin when he caught Alaric looking at the window again while seated behind his desk. Emrin sitting across from him on one of the two chairs across the wooden study table. “We can finish this later if you wish.” Alaric flicked one last look at the woman outside the window before returning his attention to E

Alaric vanished from his study and appeared behind Adrienne Mallory on the castle ground by the rose hedges. “I see you’ve found a pest inside my castle,” said Alaric in an icy tone looking at the black wolf with animosity. It was lying on its side. Who must it be? He wondered with foreboding. Just when he was thinking of positive thoughts when he wasn’t much into it until he met the fire-witch. Now he has something to compete with her. “It’s unconscious, Alaric,” said Adrienne with a worried tone. She was looking at the wolf at the same time running her hand on top of its body. “Let me take care of it.” He said in his usual cold voice showing only mild interest to the unconscious monster. He walked towards Adrienne crouching beside her. He stretched his hands to touch the wolf when he felt the warm hands of Adrienne stopping his wrist. “Stop. I can handle this,” she said firmly.“I can do it better.” Adrienne faced hi

Bewitching The Deadly Vampire Chapter 26 Aunt and Anxiety
Sebastian appeared before Alaric and Adrienne as they were having breakfast in the dining hall. He just received a letter from the front delivered by an early postman. “A mail is delivered to you, my lord,” said Sebastian as he gave him the letter on the tray. A folded newspaper was placed beside it. Alaric looked at it with disinterest as he sliced his bacon on his plate. “Can’t it wait, Sebastian? I’m having breakfast.” He asked and forked the bacon and put it in his mouth. He took a slice of bread and spread mayo on it. “It sounds urgent my lord. But, please check it once you have breakfast.” Sebastian said and nodded to him and retreated to the back standing. Adrienne took the newspaper from the tray and unfolded it in front of her. Her face scowled upon reading the news. More Witches Found Dead In Maywitch “Three more witches were found dead in Maywitch this morning as residents of the village were wa
Bewitching The Deadly Vampire Chapter 25 Pertinent Affection
Thana Allison’s threat to Alaric couldn’t have been more than a feeble attempt of a defeated vampiress over the throne of queenship in the vampire society had there not been rigorous news of witch exploitations in the surrounding cities around Emrick City where other witches live supposedly peaceful lives until their lives were put in danger and more witches were being killed every day. It was as if to deliver a message that a wronged vampiress will not admit defeat despite the vampire whom the vampiress had long been chasing in pursuit no longer even caring about her existence. On the other hand, while the threat and slay of Thana Allison’s cruelty against the witches weren’t headline stories in Immortals Daily for names of lesser ranked vampires were the ones thrown into questions and inquisitions of these putrid matters, Alaric Emrick must be the only vampire in the society to know who was behind those recent news. If not the witch beside him who also had an i

“We shall hold a big wedding, Adrienne.”Alaric said in a loud and clear voice as he and Adrienne talked in the drawing-room.If that was merely talking that is, for Adrienne and Alaric had been arguing and constantly opposing each other for the past minutes about the details of the wedding.Alaric insisted on the grand wedding while Adrienne would rather have a simple one.“Alaric, I would very much like a simpler affair for this union,” said Adrienne in a cut clear tone. “If you can remember we didn’t even get to hold the grand wedding back three years ago, so what’s the point of it now?”“The point, witch, is what was three years ago was a bridge under the water. It was postponed because of unforeseen circumstances which I wasn’t able to finish in due time, thus, was delayed.”Alaric explained looking at Adrienne who was seated across him on the other sofa.Adrie
Bewitching The Deadly Vampire Chapter 23 Supposedly Peaceful
Life inside Acheron Castle resumed normal after the return of the master and mistress of the castle and the young master. Every breakfast, lunch, and dinner the family was gathered in the dining hall to share meals together. Alaric would always have his usual cup of coffee and a toast and bacon and eggs on his plate while Adrienne had her usual cup of tea, a boiled egg and a slice of fruit. While the unruly bubble, Rune would have his cup of milk and porridge and slice of fruit, too, on his table. Every breakfast they were together and so were lunch where Alaric would on most days liked to have steak served on his plate which Rune the little tyke also developed liking to, especially when the steak is bloodier than usual. This is one of the most behavior the kid had had mirrored of his father. “Don’t you think, Rune is becoming more and more of you every day, Alaric?” asked Adrienne as she plucked a globe of grape and put it in her mouth.

“What are you doing, Adrienne? Why are you not going down yet?” Alaric’s cold voice broke Adrienne’s reverie as she looked at the magnificent castle before her. She was looking at the towers and turrets of the castle and the red curtain drawn behind the large windows of the castle. She’s now back in Acheron Castle. Nothing appeared to have changed around it but she felt cold at the thought and the sight of it. Adrienne turned away and shifted her gaze instead at Alaric who quietly observed her. “Sorry,” she murmured and stepped down the carriage. She waited for Alaric to go down while he was holding Rune in his arms.“Home!” Rune gleefully smiled as he looked at the big castle in front of him. “Do you like it, son?” Alaric asked Rune as he adjusted his hold of him. Rune nodded repeatedly to Alaric’s face showing his agreement with his dada. “Let me carry him, Alaric,” said Adrienne stretching her arms tow

"Alaric!!!!!!!” screamed Adrienne as she watched the raven-haired young man open the gate and walk towards her in a nonchalant stride of his long legs. “You impossible man!” “So, you finally admit that you missed me, witch?” Alaric’s cool demeanor irritated Adrienne so much, she stomped her feet and slammed the door to his face when he was about to reach her at arm’s length. “What are you doing, Adrienne? Why did you slam the door in my face?” He asked rapping on the front door. “Aren’t you supposed to run and kiss me upon seeing me in flesh after a month’s absence?” Alaric said behind the closed door. “You are impossible!” she exclaimed in a high-pitched voice. Adrienne crossed her arms and braced herself. She was so ready to punch and kick the vampire who created her a month’s worth of blood and gore. “You really think I would jump into you in an embrace upon seeing you, Alaric?” Adrienne asked, her voic

“Nimue, I’ll be back as soon as I can,” said Adrienne looking at her back while her friend Nimue has Rune comfortably sitting on her lap. The godmother and the toddler were sitting on a couch with Nimue holding a picture book for Rune to read. She had to go to the market to buy food for their lunch thinking if she needed to bring Rune or not with her to the market when Nimue happened to drop in her house and nonchalantly volunteered to look after his son. Adrienne reached for the doorknob and opened the door. She was greeted with more than a surprise to see the pavement from the gate to her door were aligned in thick columns of every kind of red flowers, from tulips to roses, to orchids, to carnations, to starflowers, every red-colored bloom that Adrienne can think and named of, beautifully displayed on basket woven containers. Even the ground had red and pink petals scattered everywhere. “Miss Mallory?” asked a young man with curl
