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
50 BA CampingAlpha Lachlan stopped their car few meters away from Nyx's car. But he left the lights on, revealing the other car. “What's happening?” Maridelle is panicking. “I'll get out and ask her.” “I'll go with you, Alpha.” She holds his arm.“No, stay here. She must have sensed danger.” Alpha Lachlan removed her hands off his arm. “Stay with Sebastian.”Sebastian smirked at him.Alpha Lachlan's eyebrows got a reunion at the center of his forehead. “Don't you dare to escape or take her away. I am warning you.”He brought with him the car key and prance towards the other car. Nyx went out of the car. She approached Alpha Lachlan.“Why did—”“I can sense vampires…” Both of them spoke at the same time, but Alpha Lachlan made Nyx continue her words. “And we can't use the cars anymore. Vampires, I think, they are flooding the whole way in to the city. I had received a news that the roads are blocked.”“Are you suggesting that we take the rest of the journey on foot?”“Yes, we can s
Maridelle woke up with arms wrapped around her. She had slowly turned around to see Alpha Lachlan in deep slumber. She neared her fingers on his face. She has let it slide on his cheek. He is so calm in his sleeping state. The sun has not yet risen. She had decided to remain in her position so that she could watch him sleeping; and the wind getting inside their tent through the small spaces. She felt the biting cold, but in his embrace, there was warmth.“You should take some sleep,” Alpha Lachlan drowsily said. His eyes are closed, but he can feel her gentle stare at him. “You will need your strength,” he added, cuddling him closer to him.She breathed on his chest; he loved his scent. Maridelle had let her arm find its way to reciprocate his hug.“I am not sleepy.” She moved closer to him. Not even a tiny space is left between them. Their bodies are attached. “But, you should at least try to sleep. You'll benefit from it.” Alpha Lachlan opened his eyes and planted a good morning f
52 BA Inside the City (part 2)Her fangs grow and a strong energy surged in her veins; her eyes turned its color to red. Maridelle's reflexes had made her put her hands on the lass's front shoulders. She pushed the young lass into the open area where sunlight has a full reach.“Oh, God!” she exclaimed, her hands covering her mouth. She did not want to hurt the lass; it was all her reflexes telling her to do it.They all stood still in front of the lass whose flesh started to burn. A smoke commenced to appear from the young girl's physique. She screamed in pain; she tried to take cover in the shades of the wrecked walls, but she has failed. In no time, her body has fully collapsed, giving them the awful smell of burning flesh.Sebastian picked a long metal from the debris of the house. He neared the girl's body and pierced her heart with the metal. Unlike him, the young girl has no avenue to withstand the sun; he has his secret of withstanding the heat. He has been drinking a pill that
53 Enemy or FriendsTheir body were forced to the wall, with their faces pressed against the bricks. Their hands are tied on the back. Lachlan struggled like everyone else, but their captor are ordinary being with skills and abilities able to match them.“Let go!” Nyx commanded. “You don't know who you are dealing with bitches!”The woman, who they think is the boss, scoffed. She doesn't care who they are nor does she care to know them. “And who are you to boss us around, bitch?!” she pressed Nyx's face hardly on the wall.“Who are you to call me 'bitch'?!” Nyx angrily shouted. She struggled to release herself from the grip, but her position is making it hard for her to do it; besides, the woman's strength is incredible. “You are a dead meat the moment I escape!”“Hey, shut up! Your yelling wouldn't do us any help.” Sebastian was calm and chilling despite the uneasiness he felt with the silver chain and handcuffs. Now he wished that Maridelle's blood was able to make him immune to suc
54 BA NewbornTheir vehicles are slowly running on the dim corners of the road. It is eerily silent that they could only hear the pounding of their heart against their chest. This street was used to be gleeful at night. This is where people and different beings stormed to enjoy a night life in the city. The sight they are beholding are totally the opposite of what is used to.“Are you sure this is the place?” Leo called one of his cohorts on a radio. There was a static noise. “This is the place they informed me,” answered a deep male voice from the other sided of the radio.“Contact them again. I can't feel anything here.”“Roger that!” They went ahead to the place to gain information they could pass to Leo.The communication has ended. Leo got his eyes on the road and the surrounding as well.“What exactly are we expecting to see in this place?” Alpha Lachlan started to acquaint himself with the kind of situation he will be facing. The vampires are smart enough to make monsters do
55 BA EavesdroppingThey returned with their hearts laden with conscience. She was innocent that is what they thought, however, fate made her into a creature that needs to get erased in this world. If only they could have done something to help her other than ending her life, they would choose the other option. She could still be alive. “Hey, are you okay? Are you hurt?” Maridelle surveyed every inch of the Alpha; she is very worried. She was tending some wounds when she heard that they had returned to the head quarters. Maridelle came running to meet them.He wanted to smile. Finally, he completely got her back to his side. He can feel she is having concerns for him. That's what he wanted; it is in his hands. But the unfortunate event they had gone through would not let him relish it. “I'm fine. I went out here unscathed. I returned unscathed.” He forced a smile to make it more convincing. “We finished it just how it should have happened.” He lowered his head. What they did should
56 BA New MissionHe made her sit on the edge of the bed. Alpha Lachlan wanted to say goodnight before he could fully retire to his bed. They don't share the same quarter with the ladies. When he reached Maridelle's quarter, there was no one inside the room. He decided to stay for awhile and wait for her.He was simultaneously shocked and worried to see her eyes lachrymose upon opening the door. He don't have even the slightest idea on what could possibly made her cry. They are fine. Alpha Lachlan had not seen anything that would upset Maridelle. “Drink.” He handed her a glass of water. Maridelle reached for it. She is a little bit feeling well. A little bit. “Thank you.” “Do you want to share it?” He sat adjacent to her. “I am your mated one. It's better to tell me. But, if you don't want to or your not comfortable, I will respect it.”Hesitation exhibits on her eyes. Should she tell him? Should she share to him that the problems her blood is causing seemed a never-ending dilemma?

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
