112 BAShe does not know how, but it feels like their ride is comparable to a just a blink of an eye. Their speed was like that of a lightning on one dark rainy night. It had happened so fast that after their car was parked, after they had passed on the shocked faces of the vampires seeing her unbind and walking calmly side by side with Viller and Hodor, she is now inside Hodor's chamber. “What’s taking him so long?” Maridelle complained, completely annoyed of the long waiting hours. By counting, she has been standing in front of Hodor’s throne for more than an hour. Not one of his servants nor Viller or Jek cared to give her something to sit on. “I am not wasting my time here, am I?” she commented, as if she is the most important being standing inside the room. Well, she is. Five, six—no, Viller could not count on his hands the times she had complained. But it is not his fault. His highness will take his time to prepare or do what he wanted even if it means his guests, no matter wh
113 BAFace to face with her own self in the mirror, Maridelle wiped the remaining tears on her bleak cheeks. She has been crying for minutes regardless the times she reprimanded herself not to do so; no matter how many times she would remind herself that shedding tears is useless. Hodor had given her a private room just in time the tears she has been holding back streamed down her visage. She got a feeling that Hodor does not believe her reasons, but she thanked the uncertainty that Hodor has let go of the grip and gave her what she has demanded. “This is the last I am going to cry because of you Lachlan.” The salutation is gone. She will no longer call her Alpha, the insignia of respect given to the pack leaders; but he does not deserves to be respected. Maridelle has thoroughly dried her cheeks and summoned for glee to embrace her glum orbs. She turned her back to the mirror. Her feet are advancing to the bed. Her body longed to rest; sprawl her limbs over the bed, closed her e
Sadness has lulled her to sleep without her being able to wipe the tears that had boldly spoke for her emotions. As she lay on the bed, with no one to disturb her respite, Maridelle’s breathing is calm. She looks so peaceful and well-rested that it had already belied the storms that had strucked her soul. “So how long are we going to stare at her?” Jek stated. They have been inside her room for almost and hour doing nothig except scrutinizing her physique. While Jek deemed it to be boring, Viller has spent the time continuing thinking of the reason why Maridelle came to them.“Wake her up,” he commanded in a very bossy tone. “Vamoire is ready to see her.” “Alright,” he replied as his feet nears the bed. “I bet it is going to be very chaotic. This bitch does not know what she did to her. And oh, man, Vamoire is furious,” Jek added as he wakes her up. “Hey! Wake up.” He shakes Maridelle’s body. Maridelle did not bother to open her eyes nor did she uttered a word. Instead, she moved h
To their amazement, the monster grew gigantic right in front of their eyes. It is still growing that it had broken its cage; the other monsters had been quiet as it continues to grow almost stuffing the entire laboratory with its body. Even its fellow felt his domineering power. It snarled and its hands are spread across the area. Saliva is drooling prolifically on its huge teeth. Its sinewy legs and arms had tripled by the time it had stopped growing. Its eyes are red and are out of proportion compared to the other part of its body. Maridelle flinched. She did not expect the feind, as she calls it, to be that frigthening; a monster as a title does not suits the being in front of her anymore. It is not what she had expected but it is what she wanted. Still, the being before her eyes seemed not to acknowledge the entity that has made it superior than the rest Vamoire has created. Maridelle draw back in fear with her hands and feet moving backward as she is still on the ground. The mo
Alpha Lachlan Caruso has never been miserable in his entire life than what he is now. It was during the demise of his parents that he agonized and lamented so much that he did not dared to think he could managed to move forward. What he had experienced back then has been tripled right now. “Lily, please.” Nyx is begging on her knees. “Let him go. Alpha Lachlan has helped you against those who are chasing after Maridelle.” She wanted Lily to remember it and have some debt of gratitude, at least, to get his twin freed.Lily scoffed at her completely neglecting the river of tears embracing her face. “Right. I did not forget all those help. But Maridelle had suffered from his hands, didn’t she?” It was bitter memories that flashed on her mind: the day Lily begged for them to stop torturing her beloved niece; how her heart has been crumpled, trodded, shred, wrecked. “I bet, if he did not found out that she is his mate, his future Luna, I guess he would not protect her. Like those who kept
His heart jumped in delight the instant Lily has delivered the great news, but it puzzled Sebastian why he can’t fully feel she is happy. Lily has been giving him anxiety and suspense. “Where are we going?” Sebastian asked as he tried to overtake her. Lily did not tell him where and how they found Maridelle, but instead she strolled back to the direction she came from. Sebastian followed her steps confused. “There is something you need to know and it is terrible.” Lily made a turn near a tent. Her steps hastening to get through the crowd.Altamonte packhouse is located at the foot of the mountain. Though, the wolves in the pack embrace modernization, a mountain is still the best pick for them to run the pack; to live as a whole. And during nighttime, it is customary to see embers floating away from the bonfires around temporary tents. He tried to guess what it could be. Among the possibilities that visited his mind is that Maridelle could be in danger under the hands of Hodor. But
No one spoke during their journey in returning to the Altamonte pack. That is to rest their body after an exhausting night of figthing tiny monsters who shows obnoxious behaviour and damages the establishments. Everything was easy to handle; however, the number of monsters they had encountered is uncountable. That is what drained their energy.Sebastian is closing his eyes; sometimes trying to sleep or endeavoring to remember his observations on each monsters they had fought tonight. It is beneficial and would hasten their progress in eliminating them.Their troop has meet few of the volunteer groups including Lydia and Leo’s unnamed group. Sebastian was recognized by them and was ask about Alpha Lachlan. Though he did not tell them the full story, he was the one who brought the sad news about the punishment he is enduring right now. Lydia and Leo did not ask further, but had showed their sorry for what happened.“Finally, we are here, but the work does not end till the sun rises,” Ar
She seemed to take the thrill into a higher level. By now Maridelle knew her newly built connection with Hodor has spread. Sebastian did not saw her shadow nor even a glimpse of her, but he knew exactly how to make her come to them.He headed to the prison cell Alpha Lachlan is being detained. He have a plan on his mind and he puts a big chunk of his trust in it. Good thing is he have an unlimited and unrestricted access to him.“Weakling,” he said in his normal pitch as the he opened the door. He tosses a huge lemon on his right hand.Welcoming him is his miserable state. His wounds are left uncared and his bodyis frail.Alpha Lachlan held his gaze low on the traces of his blood pattering right under him. Cruel, that is how he describes what they had done to him. Altamonte pack has completely stripped his title off him. He was never treated as an Alpha; and he wholeheartedly accepts it. He raised his head momentarily to see who just came in. “Sebastian…” he uttered in a low and str

Days after the bloody encounter of the two opposing sides, the storm has subsided; the enemies has been defeated and although, the damage has been done so greatly, Alpha Lachlan and Maridelle as well as the Alliance has almost recovered from their wounds and from the effects of the encounter. They had returned to their respective abodes and pack, enjoying their triumph.“How are you?” Maridelle said as she neared Alpha Lachlan who has been looking at a distance in the balcony of his chamber. His thoughts are wandering along the memories of the yester days events. All the hardships that they have been through, the enduring, the loses, and the pain; the smiles, the tears, the camaraderie, and betrayal.He tilted his head to see who it was; his lips curved upwards upon seeing Maridelle. Her face is bruised and she's wearing a white cardigan to conceal the rest of her wounds and bruises. However, her countenance belies her appearance. Her aura is brighter than ever. Alpha Lachlan slipped
All of Vamoire’s power is on both of her hands that is pinning Maridelle’s head on the ground. “Die!” Her hands are trembling, seething. But to Maridelle, she had completely forgotten about her own fight. Vamoire notices it and wonderingly followed Maridelle’s stare. She chuckled devilishly upon knowing the reason. “I had changed my mind. I’ll postpone your death a little longer.” She pulled Maridelle’s hair, positioned it better to face the merciful situation that Alpha Lachlan is in and ruthlessly uttered near her ear, “That wolf that you love so dearly is going to die before your eyes. I’ll make sure you’ll see how Jek will tear him to pieces. Then the demise of your companions will be next.” She takes delight on the images of their enemies’ bodies lying lifeless before them. “Then I will kill you.”Vamoire has painted the scene so vivid that the next time Maridelle lifted the lids of her eyes, the red fiery color of its orbs were disclosed. This time those eyes are tinted with th
Nyx has received the report and she was quick to disseminate it. As what she has received, everyone especially his twin brother was informed that Hodor’s forces has been accumulated and is advancing towards one common location, the City of Hilwood. They need to get there first before them. “I can feel the end,” Lucia murmured in nervous breathing. Beside her is Alpha Lachlan who is also busy preparing his double-edged sword. “Hodor’s end. Let’s make that certain,” he suddenly replied. Lucia stopped strapping the special guns that are able to fight against vampires on her side. “How sure are you about that, Alpha?” she whispered to him, making it sure that it is only his ears that is going to hear her. Around them is a bunch of busy warriors whose spirits are being awoken in the last minute; still unprepared to fight even though a scarce amount of time was given, but it feels like it was only meant for them to have a stretching and not the whole exercise. Lucia is beign careful not
One vial of Maridelle’s blood is resting on Hodor’s hand. He took it from his pocket awhile ago. Actually it had never left the comfort of his pocket since the time he took one from Vamoire’s laboratory. His palm encloses the vial as the door opens. “Tell me some good news.”There is a wide grin forming on Vamoire’s visage. She pranced along the aisle, closer to Hodor’s throne. “Everything is doing really great accordingly to our plan,” she reported enthusiastically. “We are gaining controls over cities and towns and their fucking Alliance and all their forces are nothing compared to ours.”The news delighted him. “And the monsters and newborns? Are they doing well?” He wanted to assess the magnitude of Maridelle’s help. “Of course. That bitch had done us a good favor.” She smiled bitterly as her thoughts wanders from the moment she lost her pretty appearance because of her blood. It made her even angrier knowing Maridelle had survived the death they had offered to her. Hodor noti
Hurried and nervous knocks reverberated at the other side of the door. Without a waste of time, it was opened immediately disclosing to both Alpha Lachlan and Maridelle the Alliance and all who builds it. Nyx was quick to inform them about the news and the progresses it had already taken.She kept her gaze downwards while walking behind her Alpha who had entered with his authority and bearing. The silence that occupied the entirety of the whole room after they had stepped in sends cold shivers to Maridelle. Their feet halted just a meter away from the center where Lucia is standing.“She should be punished!” contemptuously scream by one of the Alliance’s member right after determining who their visitors are.His jaw tightened, fist clenched. Though he knew that is the best thing to do to Maridelle, for some reason Alpha Lachlan detested the idea. It only means she will get hurt. He held her hand and gently pressed it to tell her he got her. Maridelle remained gazing on the floor. She
It undeniable that the first being he would see right after opening his eyes is her is the best feeling he had for the past few months. Alpha Lachlan took his time to savor the moment as if everyhting is in peace. He slid his arm around Maridelle’s body, pulling her closer to his. Her back is facing him and his skin could apparently have the pleasure of her soft delicate skin; his nose is tickled by her body scent.There was a soft giggle coming from her. His lips neared her ear. “Good morning,” he sweetly whispered. Maridelle turned around and nuzzles on his chest. “I love you.” She smiled.He could not hide the happiness he felt; even his wolf gave a soft howl letting him know that he felt the same. A broad smile appeared on his visage; his eyes glimmer like the stars sprinkled on the pitch-dark sky. “I love you too,” he replied with all his heart, kissing her on the lips; but then the joyous moment has to be ceased. He needs to keep in mind the war Hodor poses. Regardless the mom
They drove along the dangerous road leading to the place where Alpha Lachlan was trained to lead his pack. Any time, their car could be susceptible to the rebels roaming around. The peace and order has been completely neglected. Lucia was so angry upon knowing that the Altamonte pack had kept the crucial information to themselves. She had almost used her wrath to destroy the pack if not only Alpha Lachlan did not convince her to analyze the situation cautiously. The Altamonte pack is the only pack that has fully prepared against Hodor’s forces. The bigger fight is not betweem them and so it has been decided to have a ceasefire and work together against Hodor. “We are almost there,” he informed her. She nodded, her eyes landing on the blurring scenery outside the car’s window as their vehicle paced fast. “Everything will be alright.”“No. It won’t,” she replied despondently. Not wanting to talk all over it again, Maridelle rested her head on the cushion of her seat and tried to doz
It was Nyx who first reacted after the shocking event of seeing Alpha Lachlan entered the Caruso pack with Maridelle at his side. The whole pack was stunned to witness the two together after the known dispute between them. Most of the eyes that landed on her figure are full of detest, apparently showing their anger of attacking their pack.“Ho-How?” Nyx asked; she is following her twin’s lead towards his chamber. “It’s hard to explain, Nyx, but I want you to prepare a getaway car and some essentials,” he commanded. “I need it ASAP.”He opened the door. Beta Mellow was already inside the chamber and so is Amari. Maridelle remained gazing only to Alpha Lachlan’s feet to guide herself on where to go, obviously avoiding any eye contact. Beta Mellow and Amari stood up as he entered the chamber. “Beta Mellow,” he called him. When he is certain that he got his full attention, he continued speaking. “Prepare the pack. All our warriors must ready themselves for a bloody war. There is going
