42 Meeting the Alliance (part 1)He had shook her, but there were no signs of response. Instead of her getting her consciousness back, Sebastian has awoken feeling dizzy. His back ached. His hands are on his head, the same spot where Maridelle had her wound.“Fuck!”“Does it hurt so much?” Lachlan asked him. He know it should have hurt her, but he wanted to know how much does it hurt. Sebastian tried to recover. “Take her away, immediately. Be careful on handling her on the back, thighs, and head. I can feel the pain in there.” Sebastian kicked the car's doors making it flew in the open. Before he could get out he managed to see Maridelle unconscious and estimated that Lachlan can still fight. “I'll take care of Viller since he's strongest, the rest are weaklings. You can handle them in case they'll chase you.”“I got it.” Lachlan gently took her off the car and was ready to escape when he behold more or less ten vampires surroundin
43 BA Meeting the Alliance (part 2)They were all in the same car. Maridelle is still unconscious; her body sat beside Lachlan; her head leans on his shoulder. Nyx drives the car while Sebastian is sitting beside her, thinking of the numerous ways he could get himself and Maridelle out of the car. Sebastian moved uneasy on his seat. “Drive carefully. Bullshit!” He twisted his body, enduring the pain. With a sudden halt, everyone seemed to get off their seats except for Nyx who did it. “I did nothing! Why are you so upset?!” Sebastian screamed terribly. He fixed his fiery gaze on her. If only he could tell and explain that every bump on the road that she passes carelessly, Maridelle's body is moved and he is suffering the pain. However, the more that will know the secret, the more dire his situation could become. “Just do what I say!”“I am not your slave to boss me around!” she screamed back at him. “Both of you stop!” L
44 BA Birth of a MonsterNone of them had made a sound nor moved a limb, but one thing that is common is their jaws dropped as if a heavy stone was hung on it.“Shit! I'm so grateful I didn't turned that ugly,” Sebastian uttered without any deeper apprehension of his words. The male nurse turned into a hideous monster. His limbs are out proportion, big and bulky. He towered over them. His eyes are burried deeply on it's sockets; the white portion of it is occupied by red veins-like lines. His teeth are crooked, saliva slavering on the sides of his mouth; brown nails had overgrown from his fingers. “So it's true,” the male nurse said in a hoarse voice. “What a miracle that you could do to everyone,” he uttered in stunned on the changes of his body. He can feel the strength surging, and it seemed that the source would never run out.“Get, Mari!” Sebastian screamed to Lachlan who was the nearest to her. The monster moved for
45 BA Old Acquaintance“What?!” Maridelle scurried towards Sebastian's side. “I shouldn't have trusted you again!” She points her finger on Lachlan with sheer anger, her eyes blazing like a wild fire.“Mari, please listen. Let me explain everything please.” Lachlan tried to get near her, but before Sebastian could prevent him, Mari distanced herself. She is determined enough not to take the chance to listen to him no matter how much he pleaded.“No. I had enough of your lies. You are not going to make me believe in you again. I was such a fool!” Anger rose from the bottom of her heart.“Mari, please…” he pleaded. “Let me explain.” Lachlan really wanted to clarify how they all ended in the Alliance's custody, but beholding her acting like that, makes him feel it's chipping his chance for an explanation in fast pace.“I won't! And I had enough! You are the part of my life that I will always regret to have!” Maridelle felt his betrayal. He kept on pro
46 BA The AllianceLucia returned to the meeting room. Her mind is still thinking about Sebastian and Maridelle and how all things are getting entangled to each other. It will take a long time before those knots are untangled and the confusion and mysteries would be bared.“I had let them clean themselves first,” she broke the silence that ruled the chamber. It is scantly lighted as to accomodate the members who are vampires. “Within few minutes, you'll be meeting our guests,” she added to ease the big question mark on their faces. Lucia is facing some of the members of the Alliance. Each member are carefully picked and had undergone an intensive screening to be chosen. They are seated in a semi-circle platform with tiers. Most of the members are from the three major races and the rest are the representative from the other races like goblins and witches. She stood in front of them. “Then we should all prepare ourselves. We had the report of what happened to the infirmary,” said by
47 BA Maridelle's Backstory (part 1)Maridelle flinched. She wasn't able to speak. She can feel her muscles tensed, stiffened. She felt her face blanched. Her finger's trembled. Will he going to drink her blood?Alpha Ruya turned his back away from her and backtracked his way to his seat. His stare never left her. “Your father…” Ruya cleared his throat. He was about to tell a fraction of Maridelle's identity, a part of her past. “Your father was a good Alpha. I am surprised you don't know him.” Alpha Ruya supposes. She wouldn't be shocked if she knew it already. “I don't intend to acquire your blood, I don't want to look as ugly as that monster in the infirmary. That's what I heard about.”The muscles on her body relaxes. Maridelle thought the Alpha is going to lick the blood on her chin or the one on his palm. Using the back of her hand, Maridelle wiped the remaining blood off her face before she said, “How did know my father? I had never seen any of my parents nor heard about them
48 BA Maridelle's Backstory (part 2)Lucia smiled bitterly. Maridelle has realized it: She is taking a big part of the whole scenario, the whole picture. She is the key ingredient. “It's going to be all my fault!” She broke out in tears. “I should have been dead! I will be causing a lot of damage. As long as I am alive, my blood will be chased to be used for evil!”“Mari, we can end this, but not that way.” Alpha Lachlan tightly hugged her. He cannot let it happen. She will not sacrifice herself. The wait that took twenty-eight years won't go to waste just because of a threat.“It will end if I am dead.” Maridelle pushed him away. “Kill me,” she boldly suggested; her words are not filled with doubt, but is shrouded with pure courage. She knelt in front of everyone, begging to grant her wish. She has decided . “That is the best thing to do,” she added to convince them.“No!” Sebastian ended his silence. He will protest no matter what. “I cannot let that happen.” Her life is his life.
49 BA The War CommencesThere was a knock on the door. Nyx has opened it and came rushing in is Lucia followed by Sebastian. She raised a brow. It's strange. Alpha Lachlan had remembered his bewilderment. They must be hiding something from them. No one else has seemed to notice the things he noticed. They stood up, all facing Lucia. Lucia's face is enwrapped with a mix of fear and worries. They don't know how to describe her face. One thing for sure is, it can't be painted.“I am afraid to say this, but the war has worsen.” She breathed, mustering the courage to say the next few words. “Follow me.”They followed Lucia. The moment they reached the quadrangle, there are throngs of armed personel running to and fro preparing weapons of all sorts.“It's getting dark. Vampires are getting to attack and we are sending troops to save the civilians.” Sending troops was her initial solution to the ongoing chaos. Lucia headed towards the brink of the territory where they would overlook the wh

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
