Catalina’s POVThey are all living in constant fear, terrified that their miserable existence would one day end in a manner beyond their wildest imaginings. When Ryder opened the car door, I was surprised to learn that he had spent all of his money on gambling, women, and drugs. I had no idea. And at this point, he is engaged in the criminal activity of human trafficking. This is so absurd that it makes me feel sick to my stomach and makes me want to throw up. How was it possible for him to change so drastically in such a short amount of time? Every single woman about my age was inconsolable and weeping, scared that tonight, one of them would be the one to take her own life. I was able to smell all of the blood that was spread throughout the ancient abandoned building. Ryder remarked as he grabbed my arm. "This woman is mine, you may have all of the others but not this woman," he said. The man with a dragon tattoo on his arm said, “This woman looks so fresh, the skin is so smooth,
Catalina’s POV"Of course, you can put your faith in me, but in these modern times, it's best not to put your faith in anyone because everyone is a betrayer." Damon said. I nodded my head and followed him outside; when I saw those girls again, my heart went out to them, and Damon was aware of how I felt about them in that regard. "I know that you want to save others, but don't be a hero when you can't even save yourself. They are my slaves, and they work for me." I took in what he had to say, and I am aware that I can do nothing to assist those self-pitying young women. It tore at my heart severely to think about what their circumstance was like. Damon walked me to his car, opened the door, and said, "Take the front seat." "Thank you." He drives his latest BMW car going to his residence in Ibiza. After that, when we came there, I saw it was a grand mansion, but the hue seemed too dark. He said, "Someone was waiting for you inside..."“What do you mean?” I was scared at this momen
Thaddeus’ POV"Of course I do! You are not my father, I don't have a murderous, beast father like you. My mother never taught me to be as savage as you are, and my father never let it." I stated it while simmering with rage and looked at him as if I had already torn him to shreds. He took a few steps forward. Even though bullets had already wounded him everywhere in his body, he could not feel a thing since the body that was inside of him was not the body of a living vampire but rather the body of a dead and decaying vampire. He took his sword and tried to hit me with it, I flinched and moved away. I used my arrow to hit him, and in an instant, he groaned in pain causing him to step back. He was breathing hard and all I could tell was that the iron arrow made him feel uncomfortable. "You won't be a King if you aren't my son...," he said. He let out a low grunt before adjusting his posture. When I stood up in front of him, he raised his hand with his sword to cut my body in half. Ho
Connor’s POV"She's been sleeping for a few days already, when will she finally wake up?" I asked the Doctor to check Leila's heart. "So soon. Right now, her body is still not moving," said the Doctor.I sat on the edge of the bed and held Leila's warm hand. Suddenly, I felt that I wanted to taste her blood, making me worry that Leila would think I was a monster. I got up, put my hand over my nose, and walked away. As I walked outdoors, I couldn't help but stare at the folks that were walking past. However, I no longer recognize the emotions that come with being human. For the first time in my life, I did not feel tired or drowsy at any point, and I had the sensation that I always had energy. A black car stopped right in front of me, and it was my mom. She had tears in her eyes, and her shoulder shook as she sobbed in my arms. “Mom…what happened?” She said, “I finally got your brother’s body. Funeral will be tomorrow, I can’t believe Arthur would leave us like this.” My jaw cle
Catalina’s POVI didn’t sleep well last night, I’m too excited to see Alessandro and be done with my mission. I missed my husband already so much, and I can’t help but think of how he was doping right now with another woman who tried to be me? I heaved a breath of relief, and by the time Damon got there in the middle of the afternoon, I was already attentive and ready for him. He grinned at me in an unsettling way, and every time he smiled, it seemed creepier than the last. This may be why I chastised him for being such a nasty guy who sells illicit products and conducts illegal business for the rest of his life. "How long have you been in illegal business?" I had no choice but to ask him.He gave me a quick glance before inhaling deeply from his cigarette and saying, "Ever since I was a human." I was thrilled to know that he was a human before, so I asked. “You’re a human….before?” He continued to walk in his garage and opened the sliding door. “Yes….Alessandro gave me a second c
Thaddeus’ POV"What did you say?" I asked the security guy calmly and collectively, yet I felt that something was wrong with the Grand Villa. "The Heart Of Stone! The impostor who fooled us all and stole our revered tone." While the guard attempted to explain everything to me, he told me everything in the Villa, and I was trying to listen carefully. The Catalina I loved had been missing for weeks already since the impostor arrived in my Villa. Who could probably take my wife away from me?"So Catalina has been missing this whole time after all this time has passed?" I whispered the question to myself, and my brow furrowed in anxiety as I waited for them to respond. When they confirmed the bad news to me. I became so enraged that I hurled my phone against the wall and let out a scream. "How could I have been so careless as to let this happen to her? I chose to disregard the warning signs because it was her, but it turned out that the woman I had been seeing for the past three weeks
Catalina’s POVI scratched his eyes with my nails, and he yelled as though the scratching hurt him. I continued to do it. Maybe his power was tied to his crimson eyes; I got a sigh out of him when I poked his eyes with my nails because it hurt. Alessandro got to his feet, covered his eyes with his palm, and said, "We are not done yet!" "Of course…" I gave him a phony smile, but it fled from my face as soon as he left the room. This scumbag wants to have sex with me, and I darn well won't let him. I have to make a way to get out of him, maybe call the police if someone like him was kidnapping me. I sat on the corner and concentrated on listening to Alessandro's movements until I could no longer make out his footsteps. Who would bother to try to save me once more? It seemed like there was no way out while I waited for the knight in shining armor to come to my rescue, but he wasn't even here with me. Does this mean that Thaddeus is finally aware of what happened to him? Does he make a
Catalina’s POVThirteen hours later, I saw a woman who looked really like me, and when she came near me, her appearance changed and it was Desiree. Damn, I knew it. She used her power to pretend like me inside the Villa. How could she pretend like that? “Long time no see, bitch.” She said in a raspy voice.I grabbed my keys and started to drive, but she was running from behind me, and Alessandro was watching us. Damn, these people are trying to kill me. How could I survive this?!I stopped in the middle of the cliff, I don’t know what to do. Jump or surrender? I’m scared. Alessandro stepped out from his car, “Don’t do it, Catalina. You're going to die if you jump!” I shook my head, “I’m sorry, Alessandro. But this is the only way I can escape from you, and this evil woman!” Desiree glanced at Alessandro, “I need this woman, I cannot open this Heart of Stone if I don’t have her. I’m sure Thaddeus will trade the Heart of Stone when I get Catalina by my side.” I stepped back slowl
THIRD POV Tonight will be the night of coronation because it's already a full moon and the night will be full of celebrations. Catalina looking at the full moon while holding her baby is the best feeling. she kissed her baby’s forehead and said, “You will have your coronation tonight as the heir of the Vampire King, do you know why everyone is here? It's because they love you and they respect your father. I am sure in the future you will be like him, you will be the next Vampire king too…you will be the only heir in the family.” She said and hugged her baby while waiting for Thaddeus to come out on the stage. Catalina looked around and she sees different personalities and she can't believe all of these people were Vampires too. Leila and Salvatore arrived to witness the grand night Leila is already pregnant too, and Salvatore bit her to be one of them, and her sister now is a pure vampire. “Hi, baby, let me take your baby, please…ah he is so cute, I want him,” Leila said and carri
A few months later, Catalina’s POVOur lives have been full of ups and downs for some time now, and because of our complex thinking, we are unsure of how certain we are or how we will manage the situation when it arises. I'm sitting next to him in our bed, giving his lips a passionate kiss to rouse him from his slumber so we can eat breakfast which was delicious fresh blood from animals that we hunted last night. He groaned as he wrapped his hands around my waist and pulled me in for a kiss."I love you..."“I love you too…” And my tummy isn't very noticeable yet; I'm not sure why; perhaps it's because I don't have a massive baby bulge like the other woman. In addition, I am one month and two weeks pregnant. Before I know it, I'll be holding a baby who is wailing with excitement (soon).He passionately kissed me and is now on top of me; I shower early in the morning, so he is eager to make love to me; I am preparing to provide him with my most complete and passionate love.Because
Catalina’s POV"Behold, the bride has arrived!" The minister continued, and all eyes turned to the bride as she made her way down the aisle. She looks so attractive and sexy, and her svelte figure perfectly matches her stunning wedding dress. It was a moment of pure delight when she smiled at me, and I know how appreciative she is that Thaddeus and I were a part of her wedding day. While we gazed at one another adoringly and Thaddeus gently stroked my palm, he communicated with me through a mind link, saying, "I love you..." In return, I gave him a grin and asked, "Do you know why I love you so much?" "Why?""Because you never stop showing me how much love you have for me." When Leila and Salvatore kissed in front of the three biggest groups of vampires, they proved that our hearts, not our heads, decide who we fall in love with. Like the love between Thaddeus and me, this is undeniable. All my waiting for him paid off since he finally came home for me, and he never tires of chasi
Catalina’s POV"Yes, Thaddeus is here to put an end to these two scumbags." I smiled proudly as I said it. "No, you can't kill my brother!" said Connor. "He's no longer your brother, and he's no longer Arthur! Connor, open your eyes!" I said as I yelled at him. He put his hand over her ear and said, "No, I won't listen to you. I will do anything to protect my brother." “Connor what the fuck are you doing?!” I saw him trying to help his brother get up, but Arthur bit his neck and stretched his face with his claws. I sighed as I saw him with deep regret in his eyes when he glanced at me. He grabbed Arthur’s head and pushed it against the wall while trying to put the injection on Arthur’s body but it had no effect. I have no choice but to kill Arthur in front of Connor, so that he could wake up in reality that Arthur was already dead, and the man in front of him was not Arthur. It was a Hybrid Zombie who wants to cause chaos with everyone. Connor yelled at me, and cried hysterical
Connor’s POV“That’s not what I mean Connor, what I want to say is that you need to open your eyes that Thaddeus is not the enemy here, and all the guards that you killed are good vampires, why do you kill them? Connor, please believe in me, there’s still good vampires out there….” I sighed in frustration, “Oh, I’m a good vampire….one of their kind bit me, and turned me into this!” I pointed to myself, and my eyes darkened red. Leila didn’t even move away when she saw me like this, she cupped my face and said. “You are not a monster, Connor. You’re good, you haven’t changed at all.” I laughed softly and said. “I have never wanted this in my life, and they turned me into one of them, that's why I hated them….I want them to vanish in this world!” I stood up and was about to leave her but she was just still sitting there watching me, and observing my behavior. “Is Salvatore saying all these things to you?” She didn’t answer me, and she took her purse because I think she’s done with
Connor’s POV"Hey, I need to get out of this place! I'm sick and tired of waiting for my life to end; why can't you just put an end to it and stop causing me to suffer each and every day? I want to die!" Theodore grumbled to himself while locked up in his sweltering cell. He appeared to be a monster as I gazed at him from head to toe; his eyes were melting, and his skin was turning gray; he looked like a monster now, the kind of monster that no one would ever want to see in their life. He looked so fucking awful that I couldn't look away from him. I laugh in satisfaction, “Well, look at you. You are so dead now, but not totally dead yet. You deserve to be tortured in this way, so that you will know how painful it is about dying!” “My son took your mom, do you think my son has tortured your mom this way?” I had not considered that possibility, but if Thaddeus were responsible for what happened to my mother, I would see to it that his father meets an unthinkable end. Thaddeus acquir
Catalina’s POV"If I really wanted to murder you...I would have done it already right now. But not yet, not too soon. Just wait for it." I responded while rolling my eyes and taking Leila with me as we exited the room that was filled with their terror due to the presence of the two older women within. I sat down in the secluded area, took a few deep breaths, and asked myself, "Why is it that I no longer feel any guilt? and I'm—" I can detect the odor of blood; someone has cut themselves out there, perhaps because they are running for miles. I could picture him wetting a dry cloth and applying it to the minor cut on his knees to staunch blood flow. I have my eyes closed and am concentrating on the smell. I need some of that blood. Damn it. When Leila called my name and yelled at me, I didn't even bother to look at her; I just continued running. "Catalina! Where do you intend to go?! Catalina!" I didn't want to hear her voice, and I didn't want to stop running; I needed to find the m
Catalina’s POVBecause I know Leila is lying to me, she does not want to look into my eyes when we are conversing. She knows something about Emily that she will not disclose to me at this time. I gave her a friendly smile and reassuring words, "There is no longer any need for you to be concerned about Emily. You've matured, and now, if she is sent to prison to pay for everything she's done to our family, everything that our father has left to you will be yours. You will one day receive what you have worked so hard for, which is a life that is rich with fulfillment."She cast a quick peek across to Salvatore, who was still having a conversation with Thaddeus. After that, she turned her attention back to me. "Do you want to see Emily and Jessica?" My curious eyes lit up, and I asked, "Where are they? Are you able to show me the way?"She held my hand and said. "Yes, Of course. Come with me." Leila and I walked inside, to the hallway, and I tried to act as human even though I wanted t
Thaddeus’ POVWhile waiting for the outcome, I was already not fine; I was anxious all the time while Salvatore and Leila were gazing at me all the time. They were also not sure what would happen in the following few hours. They both glanced at me with anxious eyes and sat next to me to make me feel better. But I am not even okay. My mind was full of thoughts right now that I didn’t even wonder if it's good to think about it. “Hey, Thaddeus. It’s going to be fine, just don’t pressure yourself because you look like you are going to explode in worry.” Salvatore said. I cocked my head to the side to cast a sidelong glance in his direction and said, "You don't know anything about being worried, Damn. I have a lot of concerns regarding her; in your opinion, do you believe she will be okay? I am aware that my heart has stopped beating, but for some reason it felt as if it was going to burst out of my chest because I was so terrified that I was going to lose her at any moment in time."Sa
