95 BAAll of them found themselves dumbfounded with mouth wide open as their eyes landed on Maridelle's body on the floor. Her body lies beside Nyx. Now, there are two of them who needs care and none of the men around them know exactly what to do.“Wh-What happened? I am sure we have protected them.” Sebastian got himself wrapped in sheer confusion and extreme fear. They should have been safe.“I should be the one asking you that.” His voice is irritated. “You should have felt it if Mari has been feeling something not good about her body.” He hate to admit it, but Alpha Lachlan is still not over that fact. To mark her is an option; however the certain memory about that unfaithful night is ceasing him; that memory never failed to haunt him. It would be unfair and a deceitful act if he mark her and yet, he had hidden a fraction of his past that he is afraid she will know. A past that had been a big part of both of their lives.“I did not feel something unusual. I don't know what happen
96 BABy Beta Mellow's words everyone's heart skipped a bit, racing wild, pounding itself creating an ear-splitting noise. No one moved and their eyes never left Maridelle's visage. Silence took over the spaces of the room.“N-No, no…that can't be. We are still in our disguise. We had put back Maridelle's disguise as well. It is not possible.” Alpha Lachlan shook his head the moment his Beta's words had sinked in; he worriedly clinged on the hope Angelo did not recognized Maridelle.“But what if he did recognized her?” It was not his intention to make everyone overthink, but Beta Mellow wants to get ready for every possibility that would happen any minute.Sebastian splayed his fingers over his head. “I really don't think it is not impossible. I mean if you had noticed it, Maridelle's face is plastered on the street walls and Hodor had made it known to everyone about the bounty he had put on top of her head. I think it is possible that Angelo has recognized her.” He took a long worrie
97 BAOne by one, their bodies fell limply into the cold floor. A soft thud came after and became Angelo's signal to proceed to his plan. He took a syringe and five vials, placed four of it on top of the table and took one as he pranced towards the bed.He directed his steps towards Nyx. He raises the syringe to level the range of his eyesight. “I just wonder how you are going to make me successful,” he thought to himself. “I bet after this, I will be my master's right hand. What a luck that I am the one you bumped into.” His voice is evil and every word is uttered ambitiously. The syringe neared Nyx's arm. Slowly, Angelo sniffles in the air the scent of her blood is being carried by the air to tickle his nostrils. “Delicious.” He licked the corner of his mouth as if he had a taste of her blood. He observes as Nyx's blood fills the vial.After he had taken his desired amount, he repeated the process in Maridelle. “This one got a superb aroma.” His saliva literally drools on the corne
98 BAVeins are starting to get perceptible on the surface of his skins; itchiness is felt all over his body; his nails went willingly to scratch his own skin, digging and wounding himself, leaving red scratches mark on some area. It started few minutes ago, just when after he left the room and now it has reoccurred. Angelo had already rummaged his tiny brain for a possible cause; however, there was nothing in there he could consider as a reason to blame. “Shit!” he cusses under his breath. He kept scratching the back of his neck, his arms, everywhere in his body. It seems never-ending and he can't tell why it's happening on him.“Something's wrong?” Maridelle licked her fingers. She took the glass of orange juice, drinks it while she patiently waited for an answer. “You were saying something.”Even Nyx has stopped herself from eating. “Yeah, we heard you swear. Is everything fine?” Both of the girls has felt the odd ambience. None of them got the slightest idea on why Angelo would
99 BA“Seems like we don't run out of trouble, huh?” Sebastian uttered just how someone who frequently gets himself into trouble would say it. Actually, he is certain. He gets used to it now; the smell of danger, fighting after another fight. He doesn't need more proof that what's behind the door is trouble; the feeling is so fucking familiar. “Holy crap!” He moved as fast as he could blocking the door with the couches and the bed.Friendly knocks were heard. The sound of it does not suggests any danger; however, even though their speculation is not yet confirmed, they don't need it anymore. They got enough clues to make them go in defense mode. “Hi, this is Angelo. I was wondering if I could come in? I brought medicines and foods.” His tone is friendly and as usual. Alpha Lachlan smirked and mouthed, “Confirmed.” He signalled the ladies to stay behind them. What's behind the door is harm. Housekeeping nor any employee's job in a place like this do not require to go as frequent as h
100 BA He was aghast like the sole of his feet adhered itself to where he is standing. His muscles could not move nor they are able to respond. Alpha Lachlan has found himself petrified. All he can do is to fearfully guess what kind of monster her blood is going to turn Angelo into. And the notion that the itchiness of his skin, the peeling off of his skin, and the smell that reeks from Angelo's body are early signs her blood is performing dreadful wonder wrapped his mind.“Di-Did you drink a lot?” he stammered, eyes are widened, and his body is trembling. “Not much.” Angelo continued scratching his body. Some of his skin is beneath his finger nails. “Shit! What's that smell?!” he stated, completely distracted by his own smell. His body is fastly transforming itself into a rotting corpse. And the smell and the physical attribute comparable to a corpse is getting evident on him.“I-I think we should get out of here.” Beta Mellow suggested.“Oh? Scared already? Well the two of you pas
101 BA Within a span of more than an hour, the entirety of Hilwood City was amazingly encompassed by a pungent smell. The odor is so foul that the businesses concerning food industry were immediately shut down. People are nauseated by the smell; up to this time, none could tell where it is coming from. What sure is not a single resident is able to eat nor drink. “Fuck! What's going on on this shitty place?!” As they strolled on the street, they heard a bulky man talking to his friends. All of them have their nose covered. “I had never thought Hilwood could be even become worse than it is already.” He complained as if his friends can do anything about the smell. “It happened all of the sudden,” replied by one of his friends. His movements is roleplaying a person vomiting.The conversation faded as they lengthened their distance between them. Less than an hour ago, just after they had successfully escaped the unexpected trouble they unknowingly got theirselves into, an acrid smell wa
102 BALily had stopped the car. She can’t focus on her driving with them suddenly becoming agitated, acting weird and afraid. “Wha-What’s happening?” Maridelle can’t make something out of their strange behaviour not until she surveyed the same spot that Alpha Lachlan and Sebastian’s eyes are laid upon. She gasped while her hands nervously taps Lily’s shoulder.“What?” Lily confusedly responded to her taps. All except of her has fixed their eyes on a common direction. She decided to take a look on it too. Her lips moved and has pronounced, “El Diablo.”Written on stylish lettering are the letters comprising the name of the place they were trying to escape few hours ago. And Lily did not know that. It was their fault that they did not watched where they are going. “Make a quick turn, Aunt Lily,” Maridelle commanded in a frigthened agitated voice. “Faster!”“I don’t know what’s happening, but alright. Calm down!” Lily started the engine, look backwards and steered the wheel to backtra

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
