IVAN

There was a sudden thundering of feet above us. I could make out voices, shouting voices, there seemed to be some sort of chaos going on upstairs.

I looked at Bastien and he nodded, this was what he was hoping to achieve, and by the looks of it, it had played out exactly as he had hoped it would.

The guard who came downstairs to watch us and spout his rubbish insults looked confused by the sudden noise and commotion.

Another guard ran down to come and meet him, he was breathing heavily.

“What happened? What is going on?” The first guard asked.

“It is chaos up there. We just received word that our king is locked in battle with that vampire bastard and that lycan bitch.” He said while still trying to catch his breath.

“What? How did that happen?”

“No idea what went wrong but we cannot stay here, we have to go and help out, come!” the second guard shouted at the first.

He nodded and cast us one last look, “What of them?”

“They are locked in here, they are not going anywhere, besides

    SARCANALeo helped me drag the unconscious Mia inside Bastien’s house while Bastien and Ivan remained outside for a while. Knowing Bastien, I had a pretty good idea what it was that he was planning to tell Ivan.“Help me lay her on the couch there,” I said to Leo as we got into the living room.“What about Javier? We need to save him as soon as possible too,” Leo responded.“Damn it, Leo. I have not forgotten about Javier, just help me get Mia to the damn couch,” I snapped.He grumbled something and reluctantly helped me take Mia to the couch.Earlier, I had told them that Mia collapsed back into a coma because she had used too much of her power to get us out of the reinforced cell in the dungeon and this was true but not the whole truth. I could sense a whole lot of Rylee’s magic hovering around my child.It was this magic that kept her weak and made it so that she kept slipping back into a trance at any minor exhaustion. It was a miracle that Mia woke up when she did and helped us.

    MIAMy eyes fluttered open slowly and the first thing that I saw was the ceiling, it was a ceiling that I did not recognize and I was about to panic when I heard Ivan’s voice.“You are awake,” he said and clasped my hand in his.It felt warm and inviting and I smiled, we were safe, we had escaped from the hands of Rylee and the Rogue king. Suddenly, panic came over me again and I asked hastily, “What about Javier?”Ivan smiled and gestured to my side, I rolled over and saw Javier lying beside me, sleeping peacefully. “Thanks to you, we were able to save him in the nick of time,” Ivan said.That was when the flood of tears and regret started to rise within me and I broke down crying.Right from the moment when I saw the rogue king and charged at him without thinking because I knew that he had a hand in my father’s death, I put everyone that I loved and cared about in danger. I was sure that it was in an attempt to get me back that Javier got fatally injured.Still, in an attempt to get

    RYLEEThe attack was insane, I went after the vampire king, Philip, it was his betrayal that I felt the most and I thought needed to be punished first.The vampire king went after the rogue king, probably for the same reason I was going after him and the rogue king came after me.Every one of us had a different target that we wanted to maim or kill.In my case, the rogue king was trying to maim me and not kill me because, despite his rage, he was smart enough to know that they still needed me to perform the ritual when the blood moon emerged later today.The same thing applied to the rogue king. Philip knew that killing him now would be a mistake because Mia was still in his possession and protected by his people. If anything happened to their leader, the pack would cut their losses and just kill Mia making sure none of us got a chance to steal or claim her power.The only person who was truly expendable at that moment was the vampire king, he was the one who could be killed without t

    MIAThere was something seriously wrong with Javier. I could tell from the way that he was standing at the open door staring out into the midnight sky. I got a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.So many questions were going through my head. Why the hell was Javier awake by this time? Why was my mother unconscious and hanging from his shoulders?Why would Javier be attempting to leave our new hideout by this time with my mom? It was like something straight out of a horror film and for a moment, I was rooted there, confused, not knowing what to do at all.The scream that I had let off earlier echoed throughout the house and it caught Javier's attention and he slowly turned to look at me. As soon as he did, my blood turned to ice in my veins.His face was a mask of evil, he had hollow sunken cheeks, with pitch black pupils, his fangs were out and what was worse? Black vein-like structures were streaking across his body where his veins normally appeared.He looked unrecognizable to me

    MIAThe whole situation still felt like a dream or a nightmare, I was sure that I would wake up from it in no time, any moment from now, I kept telling myself, I would wake up in the strong arms of Javier and he would still be sleeping obliviously on the bed with Ivan and I.Yes, any moment from now I thought but the longer we stood there gazing into the night after Javier, the longer nothing of the sort happened and I realized with growing terror and fear that what happened was not a dream or a nightmare, it was reality. Javier must have snapped or something must have happened to him to make him do something like this. No way this was normal, someone must have done this to him."What now?"I asked absent-mindedly.Bastien was already reacting. That was the thing about him, no matter the situation we were in, I could always count on him to keep a level head and take action swiftly.He hurried over to my mom carried her off the floor and onto a sofa and laid her down carefully.Leo

    JAVIERIt started like a slight ringing in my ear and that was what woke me up. I looked to my left and Mia and Ivan were still fast asleep, looking so calm and peaceful.Looking at her, one would never imagine that she had gone through all that she had gone through and was still standing. She was resilient and that was just one of the things that I loved about her.The ringing came again, this time it was more intense than it was the last time and it rocked both of my ears and I rolled out of bed and got to my feet.What the hell was going on? On top of the ringing, I felt like invisible hands were trying to pull me into some sort of pit.I was fighting myself, trying to resist the invisible but hands evil that were suddenly attacking and drawing me.I knew, instinctively, that whatever it was that they were pulling me to was evil and dark. I could not lose myself to whatever that was.The ringing hit my ears again, lowering my defense and disorienting me, I staggered out of the room

    JAVIERIt was a shock to me that I was standing right there, so close to her. I wanted to reach out and rip out her throat but my body would not let me do that.I cussed inwardly, this was bad, by the looks of things she was the one responsible for what was happening to me, if I could just take her out, the spell or whatever the hell this was would be broken.She was still smiling and had not yet answered the question I asked her earlier, I repeated it with much difficulty, the dark liquid that I was drowning in made talking very difficult.“What the fuck do you want from me?” I said baring my teeth.“There is no point in a puppet asking its master what the goals of the master are. Its job is just to obey wordlessly and move as the master pulls its string.” She said and laughed hoarsely.I took another step forward, “I am not your damn puppet you sick witch, tell me how to break this spell.”She stopped smiling and locked eyes with me, “Why the hell would I do something like that?

    MIAMy mother's words filled me with a sense of doom and gloom and made me sick to the stomach. How could she say something like that? Did she not know what Javier meant to me? How could she say that there was nothing we could do about it?We just got him back after he had been on the brink of death for so long, and now we were losing him again to some strange curse that I had never heard of.Was it not possible for us to catch a break? "Mom, c'mon, you can't say that there must be something we can do to help him."She shook her head sadly at me, "I am sorry dear but this situation is out of our hands, all we can do now is take precautions."Leo was not having any of that, "Maybe you might have hit your head a little too hard because I think you said that Javier cannot be helped. Or am I the one who did not hear you right?""I'm sorry, Leo, this is dark magic, there is no way out of it," Sarcana said to him. She was more apologetic than usual."Like hell, there is nothing we can do? W

    MIAThe next few days were all dark and gloomy, we had won the war but the cost was heavy and it was felt by everyone of us, most of all was Javier.For the first few days, we just holed up in the isolated house that Leo had found and there we passed days as we all tried to come to terms with what had just happened. But today was the day, the day we said goodbye for good.Ivan and Leo had decided that we would all mourn our dead on the same day. Leo handled all the preparation, that was the least that he could do, he said.The first few days were the worst, Javier blamed himself for everything even though we told him that it was Rylee’s fault that he had that evil put in him in the first place and even though he knew this himself, he still blamed himself.How could he not? I sympathized with him and as he hurt, we hurt too. He killed Olivia and then also went ahead to kill Bastien when trying to kill my mom who was protecting him from killing his own brother.It was a very horrible ex

    MIAWhat was going on? I was supposed to be dead was I not? Instead, everywhere seemed bright and happy.Not the dark and cold embrace of death that took hold of me earlier, what was going on? I could feel the sunlight on my face and I could hear birds chirping happily in the distance.My hands went to my chest, to where the blade was plunged into me, I felt around the skin frantic, there was no scar, no depression, no sign that I had sustained any injury of any kind at all.I opened my eyes and looked around, I had to blink to adjust my eyes to the brightness that was all around me.I was lying in a field and I was wearing a short rosy gown as opposed to the dark blouse and the tight jeans I had on when I was stabbed.I sat up, the grasses were about two feet high and they were swaying in the soft breeze that was blowing, it was all I could see for miles, a field covered in green grasses and hills all around.I got up and walked through the grasses bare-foot, there was just something

    IVANWith Mia captured, it was different, we were able to track her thanks to her mother, things were happening so fast that it felt like I would not even be able to keep up.Mia had been sent away by her mother and then Javier had attacked us and defeated all of us easily, he was about to end my life, my brother, and that was when Olivia stepped in.Why did she step in? Maybe she felt responsible somehow and was trying to make amends but that didn't work, she just ended up getting killed by the man she called her bestie, it was tragic.Now we were all in Bastien's car heading towards the site of the ritual. Sarcana had been able to track Mia to where she was being held.All that was on my mind at this point was to kick down the front door and rush in to rescue her, but I knew deep down we didn't have the strength to stop our adversaries, we were most likely going for a suicide mission."How are we going to take down all those guys and free Mia?" Leo asked.That was when Sarca

    JAVIEREverything was dark all around me, I was wrapped up in a cocoon of darkness and I did not know what was happening in the world around me.Then without any warning, a powerful shockwave hit me and put a crack in my cocoon, a ray of light filtered in and I reached for it immediately and tore at the cocoon until there was a hole big enough for me to climb through.It then felt like I was slowly rising to the surface after being submerged in a deep dark liquid for too long, it took me a while to fully return to my senses and when I did, I was overwhelmed and confused.The first thing I noticed was all the chanting and screaming, there were a lot of people around, wolves, I could tell and then something else, I could smell death in the air, vampires too.I had never been in the company of so many of them before then I locked eyes with Mia and I remembered what I had done to her.Not just to her, to Olivia, to my brother, to her mother, to Bastien, and Leo, oh my goodness, I was such

  • Claimed By The Romania Brothers   The Ritual

    MIASo the ritual was going to happen in an hour, which meant that was exactly how long I had left to live. I turned my gaze to Javier with pleading and tears in my eyes.He just stood there like a robot or a statue, looking past me and not seeing anything at all.Was I really to take the words of the high priest Antonio? Was Javier lost to me? A part of me still felt that he was my last hope, that somehow he was the solution to solving the problem that was right in front of me.The wolf bane in my system made me suddenly groggy, I was afraid that if I fell asleep now, it would be my last slumber. I had to find a way to fight this feeling, I needed to be awake for my remaining time on the planet.The more that I tried to fight the sleep, the more it attacked me until I had no choice but to close my eyelids and succumb to it.As soon as my eyes closed, I realized that I was indeed in a vision. This one was different in the sense that it forced itself upon me, usually, when I fell aslee

    MIA"How can you say such a thing about my mate, Javier? He is not cursed!" I countered the high priest Antonio."I did not mean to offend you, chosen one, I was just saying things as I saw it. Javier Romanov is cursed by the prophesy, he is the harbinger of doom and there is nothing you or anyone else can do to change that.""No, you are wrong, there is always a way and I will find it," I said stubbornly.The high priest shook his head at me, "There are far more precious things for the chosen one to be doing than fixating over a lost cause.""He is not a lost cause, stop calling him that."He got up from his meditative stance, "We have waited for the chosen one for a while now and here you are finally. You have a lot to learn, you need to learn how to use your powers to stop the forces of darkness that are converging. Only you can do it.""I don't care about any of that," I snapped, "I only care about saving Javier."Antonio sighed, "I have told you, it is a lost cause.""Then I have

    IVANMy heart felt bad for Mia, having to swap her out in the middle of a serious fight like this but I was totally on board with my dad's reasoning.We could all think better and work better without Mia here, if she was not around for us to worry about, we could focus on the task of getting my brother back."Where did you send her?" I asked her mom."I..." Bastien cut her off."Don't tell him," he commanded."What? What the hell is that supposed to mean?" I said, anger rising in my chest."It's not what you think son, better if only she knew exactly where Mia is, for security reasons.""You think that I would rat out my mate's location if I get tortured or something like that?""You might not have a choice, Rylee is a powerful psychic. The only one among us here that can counter her mental prowess is Sarcana. So it is best if only she knew where Mia was and besides," he looked at Leo, "You might not rat her out but someone else here might.""Great, keep treating me like a criminal wh
