74 BA It's the Truth Mari Within the dark corners of their prison cell, Maridelle explained the plan she had devised before she boldly entered Hodor's territory; she was like a lamb entering a lion's den. But she is not an ordinary lamb nor she is frightened by that fact. She came prepared of the possiblity that they are after her blood; that they'll use it for the realization of their evil plans. Their conversation is done through soft whispers.“This is the stupidest thing you ever did, Mari! You didn't realize the situation; you didn't see the big picture. You were too focused on the certain corner of the whole image that you forgot how risky things would become!” Sebastian splayed his fingers across his hair. His smothered anger is shown on the manner of his breathing. Maridelle got his idea; he might be afraid. The two of them are still connected; the pain she will fell will be shared to him whether he likes it or not. “I-I'm sorry… this wouldn't hurt you, I promise! I would t
75 BA Experiment On MeSpeaking of the devil, the door swung open and Vamoire was revealed holding a syringe up in the air. Inside it is a transparent liquid filling up to half of it's length; it's needle extends over an inch. Her face is the paragon of an evil smile, cunning and sinister. Behind her are two heavily-built vampire guards with guns pointing at them.All their preparation to fight was useless. They are rendered immobile by Vamoire’s force. Each one of them just realized no matter how decided they are to fight, they are just like a speck of dust to the eyes of their enemy.“You shoud have prayed to the moon goddess to have a smart luna, Alpha.” Vamoire gave Alpha Lachlan a sweet but menacing smile. “I hope by now, she had realized her stupidity.”“You are not going to get her!” Apha Lachlan hissed. “You have to kill me first before you can lay your finger even on one strand of her hair.” He went in front of Maridelle shoving her behind his back. Alpha Lachlan uses his bo
76 BA Shared PainInside their confinement, Alpha Lachlan has been feeling like it is a living hell. He could not count how many times he has been kicking the walls as he witnessed Sebastian writhing in pain. It only means one thing: Vamoire is doing something on her, something that hurts Maridelle and by the appearance of how Sebastian is suffering, the distress Vamoire is causing to her must be severe.His heart pains creating the images of varied possibilities of how she is being tortured; how she is enduring everything; how many times she pleaded for her agony to stop or how numerous did she called for help. At that very moment Sebastian begun to feel her pain, Alpha Lachlan desired to rip the walls of the prison that kept him separate from her. But he couldn't. All that he was able to do is kicking and repeatedly vent his frustrations and anger to the parts of the jail.“Calm down!” Nyx literally screamed at Alpha Lachlan. “You are hurting yourself!” She walked towards him. Nyx t
77 BA Escape Uneasiness covered Vamoire's entirety. She had her head glancing at every direction. Her breathing became difficult. Huge beads of sweats had occupied the entire surface of her forehead. Alpha Lachlan's wolf has broken the formidable trait Vamoire has been enjoying to use to scare and gain respect from her inferiors.The sentries she brought with her were sent to their demise as easy as a walk in the park. They were all nothing compared to his fuming wolf and she stood under his towering wolf like she is a scared rat facing a hungry cat. “Gua-guards!” she stammered out of the indescribable fright X made her feel. Vamoire got her skills honed in the fields of sciences. She is able. Nevertheless she had never trained to fight anyone especially an angry Alpha wolf. “Guards!” she repeated in a voice mixed with anger and fear. “If none of you will come here, mark my words! I'll have your heads cut off and burn your body to the ground!” She sends off threat to the void.Her c
78 BA Victory Everyone is trying to stay still and hide. Breathing is heavy but controlled. They hardly pressed their backs against the brick wall. Their arms are close to the wall; eyes are vigilant to see hints and chances to take down whoever is going to their way. Alpha Lachlan watches as Sebastian tightened his grip on Maridelle's unconscious body, prepared to protect her at all cost. All of them are focusing their senses to attack the unknown enemy coming to their direction. The chance they to escape now is minute, but they couldn't let it slip off their clasp.“Shit,” Nyx whispered on herself. Her muscles are tensed like everyone else. But she can't feel their hands trembling like how she feels hers. Uneasiness had never left Nyx since the time they took the first step out of the dungeon. She knew very well they are greatly outnumbered and the chance they are taking doesn't compute to at least enough percentage to make her feel that what they are endeavouring will come to a
79 BA Finding Shelter But before they could fully step their feet out of the secret passage, Alpha Lachlan took over Maridelle from his Beta's hands, completely shrugging off the prank Sebastian has cracked. He is too exhausted that he doesn't feel laughing nor even smile a little.“Let me have her,” Alpha Lachlan said to Beta Mellow whilst extending his arms, a gesture to tell his Beta to put her on his arms.Beta Mellow is happy to comply. “Here she goes, Alpha.” He gently transfered her to Alpha Lachlan's arms.She feels so light on his arms. It was just like the first time he held her after rescuing her from Sebastian. He carefully examined her face; bruises are around her cheeks—around her body; there is a huge bump on her forehead; limbs are lifeless; there are unhealed wounds on her thighs. Due to her blood becoming normal, she is also deprived of the healing benefits she used to enjoy; her breathing is fine but he knew, he can say it how tired is her body.He pitied her. Mari
80 BADark grey clouds are looming over them. From afar streaks of lightning are drawing lines on the clouds thicker and darker than those above them. They walked past dense forest and huge and small rivers, but they are not almost there.“We have to get going,” Alpha Lachlan uttered while analysing the dark clouds accompanied by the cold air brushing on the tiny hairs on their skin.“Shouldn’t we find a place to take shelter, Alpha?” Nyx voiced out her opinion. “I think it is not just a simple rain. I mean look at how dark the clouds are… I am sure it is going to be a violent storm.”“But, Mari is not yet awake…” Alpha Lachlan worriedly shook his head. He wanted to sweep the other thoughts running on his mind. He seriously wanted to focus on her. It has been hours since she fell into the state of unconsciousness; the problem is they haven't given her the medical attention she needs other than the first aid they gave her. “Let's run. We will get there before the storm hits.”“I think
81 BA Alpha Mikhail positioned one of his leg crossed atop the other as he gently moves his swivel chair left to right and back. On his hand is a glass of wine which he circled on the air; the delicious scent wafts towards his nose. In front of him is a tinted glass where he freely observes them. His office is overlooking the room where members of his pack and their guests are given medical care.“When will the ritual starts?” he said to his Beta, his eyes not leaving the sight before him. Alpha Lachlan sits uneasy in front of his luna. Maridelle is lain on a huge wooden table-like bed. Around her are her worried companions.“In just few minutes. Our healers are still preparing their things,” Jerome, his Beta, responded. “If you don’t mind, Alpha Mikhail, I would like to ask, why are we helping Alpha Lachlan's group? Is it because of his twin? That ex-girlfriend of yours?”He ridiculously puffed air out of his mouth. “I think I should find a circus where you can have an auditon. You

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
