He had searched everywhere for the woman sorceress but he hadn't found her, for that matter he hadn't seen anyone since he locked himself in the library this morning until he was called by one of the scouts that delivered troubling news to him, so he urgently needed to find Arya and the rest of the pack, if Alexa was here he could've finder her simply by the smell and feel of the Alpha, without her he was left wandering the corridors of the castle trying to find everyone.
His quick pace startled the servants who cleared the path for him he didn't even notice that, but that was a usual thing for him to be oblivious of what's surrounded him. He reached the armoire and found Truman, the last person he wanted to see that afternoon since he always was able to get his attention to make him forget everything else, but he was determined today not letting it happened, he needed to deliver the message and to discuss with everyone what was to be done in the circumstances that they've f
They left the cave knowing that nothing would ever be the same. They had found the feelings they had acted on them and because of that everything could be lost or on the other hand, they could begin anew. The path that laid ahead was one of the difficulties and obstacles that either led to an open war or the long-lasting peace they wanted so badly. It was night when they emerged from the depth of the cave, "we need to go to Zulcan," Alexa worded absentmindedly, again. "If we go to Zulcan we might not get to Lucius in time to save him. We are the only ones who can heal him. And he might be the only one able to stop the army that is marching towards Zulcan." Argued Edwin looking into Alexa's eyes, concern marked his face with a thin line on his forehead. "I know but if we don't go to..." Alexa began wording but stopped her eyes turned white and a glow surrounded her. Edwin knew that the sorcerer from Zulcan was attempting communication with Alexa and he
The Library of the castle was an enormous space, covered in its walls with shelves full of books of all types, old and new, from too to bottom it had a sliding ladder that gave access to the top books, the only light in the room was from the candles lit into every corner and on top of the tables so people could read, it was rarely used by others than Charles, whom no one had seen since last night when they've performed the ritual to connect with Alexa. Truman was searching for the shorter man and knew as he knew himself that he would be in the library, searching for the theme that Alexa had asked. If he did what he told them he would he'd be in the darkroom of the library, they call that because it was a room locked by a key that no one knew where it was, and Alexa never cared for breaking the lock or the door down, so what was behind it remained a mystery, but Charles had read all the books there and knew that no one talked about mates or hybrids or vampires and wer
Aurea looked for the man, layered in the bed, cold as ice, as if dead claimed him once and for all. But even like in this state, Lucius still installed fear on her heart and many others, before poisoned he reigned with an iron fist and fear. He was one of the oldest vampires alive and even his nephew couldn't stand him, Edwin lived far up north before. Now he was the only one that could bring him back, and Aurea would do anything she could to stop it from happening, not only Morgaine life would be on the line but hers too, even if she couldn't do anything to stop the elder vampire. Lucius had created Morgaine and Aurea, but she was an inferior rank. He enjoyed Morgaine from the first moment he had seen her, pure and innocent, he believed that the best evil came from the purest of heart and he managed to break her time and time again. She broke and evil filled her heart. Then Lucius married her but she had failed to give him any child, it was rare but possible for a vampire t
The land was covered in snow, making Alexa shiver in cold, but they needed to walk until they reached the White Castle, or they would arouse suspicion, a wolf was a rare animal in these parts, as Edwin had explained to her, so she had to maintain the human form. As they decided, they would be entering the castle from the dungeons and walk through the corridors until they reached Lucius with one little stop in the library to ask the Scholar if he knew anything about the cure that was needed for Lucius. Here it was where it laid the biggest problem, Alexa wasn't a vampire, and that would create tension with the Scholar, they had agreed that she would stay quiet and if anyone asked, she was a mere human girl servant that Edwin had picked on the journey. Alexa kept her head low as they crossed the little wooden door that led to the dungeons inside, she tried not to look up, but the smell of blood, sex, and torture filled her nostrils she took a peek and wished she hadn't done it
Morgaine was sited in a closed carriage, pulled by two strong horses, driving it was a servant, and inside of the luxurious carriage, lined with silks and velvet of blood-red color, was Aurea, admiring the view through a circular window on the door, she looked like a kid who saw the world for the first time. Morgaine and Aurea we're almost the same age, but Aurea was a decade or two younger than Morgaine and it was this enthusiasm for life, that she never lost after all these years the main reason that made Morgaine fell in love with her. She was a simple maid that cleaned her room, but one morning after Lucius vicious assault the night before, she caught Morgaine crying, and instead of turning her back and minding her own business she courageously talked to Morgaine, they spent the morning talking, and because of that, Morgaine felt better but Aurea was punished, after a while, Morgaine had asked her why she risked the punishment and didn't tell under harassment why she'd f
Hidden behind the bushes he only knew where Elia was by intuition, he couldn't see her and she couldn't see him, they were surveilling the enemy camp, gathering information about their plan of action, earlier on, Elia had knocked out one wolf she undressed it and dressed it herself, so she could go inside the camp and destroy as many things as she could, it was risky, but it needed to be her, the wolf she knocked out cold was a woman that was still unconscious, tied and gaged.They saw the carriage arrived, escorted by two hundred vampires, they also noted that half of that number were servants, but as they knew they could be turned into warriors, with time and patience and a little bit of a good cause that inflamed their hearts, as Truman and Flora we're doing.From the bigger tent in the middle of the camp, they saw a man a little younger than them, maybe the same age as Truman leaving the tent in anger, he kicked two wolves, in his path, his rage was palpable even f
"You need to turn Alexa, we need a little bit of fur and blood." Said Edwin, drawing his blood to the container with the blue concoction.'I know... But I'm afraid my wolf will not control herself between so many vampires.""I'm here Alexa, right next to you. I'll not let anything happened, trust me" Edwin told her, pulling her into a hug."Okay, I'll do it." Alexa closed her eyes, the crackling sound of bones breaking and rearranging sounded so loud, white fur covered her body, and instead of a standing woman, stood sited a white wolf."Impressive!" Sounded Diego, right next to Edwin."I know, mate! Now, Alexa, I will take a few strands of fur."Alexa could feel his cold hands on her skin and heard the blade cutting through the fur "Now, this is done. You can turn back to human."In the blink of an eye, Alexa transformed from the wolf to the human body, she was smiling, as if something was funny."What is it?" Edwin asked her.
Iron clashing against iron was the main sound in the camp as new weapons were being forged by the smiths the fire burning hot leaving a trail of black smoke. Rufus called a meeting with all his pack members and was waiting to see everyone in front of him, his second in command came closer to him "Everyone is here except for Patricia, no one has seen her since last night when the vampires arrived." he told Rufus on a low voice, almost whispering."Which one is Patricia?" Rufus had to ask, in the same tone of voice."She was one of the first females to join us, we had much fun with her, it is the one with that mark on her ass.""Yes, I remember now. You say no one saw since last night, it might be that our new friends found her as amusing as we once did. I'll ask Morgaine once this is finished!" Rufus told the other guy with a smirk, then he looked to his pack and lounged a growl that left them on the ground. "We are close to our objective! Now we let Zulcan know
Rage was cursing for him, everyone made its way to flee his path, even his second in command had hidden after telling him the news, Rufus hadn't been able to control himself and had punched him in the face.A howl escaped from his mouth, relieving all the anger, Patricia had fled, Schirouca had escaped and on top of all, he had Morgaine on his tale bickering about the team of vampires that had been destroyed.Flavius was nowhere to be seen and everything was resting upon him, they had overconfidence they had underestimated Zulcan's pack and the harm had been done. With the rage of this realization, he trashed his tent, right in time to see Flavius entering, "Where have you been? We are being crashed here! I have two wolves missing, weaponry destroyed and Morgaine has a team of scouts ambushed the other night! And you've been playing hide and seek with the Queen and the Prince!"Flavius looked at the enraged man, with an arched brow, making the werewo
As the dining room became empty of all the pack members, Edwin took a seat right next to Alexa, and Diego took his place right behind her, Lucius snorted some mean comment about how precious the Queen was now to have two vampires guarding her even in her castle. Charles avoided contact with the queen's eyes, "What is it, Charles? What did you found that's making you afraid to tell me?"He looked at her, finally, seeing her brown mixed with green eyes, like it was reading his soul which sent Charles in a rubor, "I broke down the door for the forbidden library!""All right, did you found anything useful, of what I've asked you to?" She asked getting straight to the point."Yes, I've found many things, some of them I even wished I haven't found," he began and stared to Alexa, who gave him the courage to keep going with just a look, "Well, for starters, a hybrid is born out of a vampire and werewolf couple, which makes the vampire a Lycan, I believe it h
The throne room was barely lit, everyone was waiting for Flora and Patricia to reach with the men that stole the horses, they should've been there by that time. Elia looked to Andrew, who was pacing on the room, almost making a hole on the ground, "Could you stop that?"Andrew stopped and stared at Elia, with a pensive expression, "I should've gone with them, what if something went wrong? What if they were caught by the vampires or the other wolves?""Flora knows how to handle herself, and I observe Patricia earlier with Truman, she also can hold her own in a fight. Everything will be fine, you'll see, any minute now, they'll be crossing the doors of this room and we will know everything that happened!"As if saying some magical words, the doors of the throne room opened to present Flora with sparks of blood all over her body, Patricia went last but didn't have as much blood on her than Flora and the three men that camera in between them, but what se
It was morning, the sky was filled with birds chanting, people were happy, even though they were preparing to war, everyone just woke up with a feeling that it was a good day to be alive, a feeling that the pack knew all too well, something stirred up their emotions, they sensed their queen was close to the Castle. Alexa was indeed reaching the village, but before she approached any further, she turned, making her traveler companions stop, right before her, “Is anything wrong?” asked Diego, alert. “No, we are close to the Gates of Amora Castle, and I don’t want to frightened anyone entering the village in my wolf form, running from a Lycan, who no one knows that exists, and two vampires, is best if we kept to walking until we get there!” Everyone agreed even Lucius who looked annoyed to have to travel this way since the beginning of the journey. They keep walking side by side, in silence, only with some complaints from Lucius about the weather, the road, and
"We need to go to that camp immediately!" Snaped Lucius, his voice thundering with authority. "That's not the best course ofaction!" Alexa reasoned annoyed that they were having the same argument and they still didn't cross the White Castle's gate. Edwin and Diego had gone to the stables, trying to find some horses that they could use. "You don't tell me what to do!" Lucius snapped, appearing to be a boy throwing a tantrum. "As soon as we get there, I'll call my warriors back, the war is over before it begins and I'll deal with Morgaine, on my way!" "Well, if what it's being said it's any true, I doubt anyone would follow you, you rule by fear, so if presented with a better and kinder leader they will change their loyalty and you'll find yourself alone!" Reasoned Alexa. "They can't, they are bound to me by blood." "Morgaine didn't seem affected, maybe she found a loophole that allowed her to poison you and to kill you
Flora arrived at Arya's room, in the West Tower, from there she could see the blue line of the sea and Arya said that it was the best place if she ever needed to contact the Merchant Council because it was a straight line until the other shore, where supposedly stood themerchant council. "Did you asked for me?" Flora asked, stepping inside the room, spheres were laid around the room, white chalk drawings on the ground, and up to the columns beside the big window that was in the direction of the ocean."Yes I'm going to need your help, and maybe someone else to, I'm going to try and contact the Merchant Council and Elder Evra to tell them what is happening here and how to fight Lucius.""Everything that you need, maybe Patricia would be interested in participating, I know the others have their assignment and are working no stop.""Could you talk to her? I still need to prepare somethings." Arya told her, holding some feathers and placing them in places that
At the beginning of the night, Flora was called to the stables, for a servant boy. The stables were a big house in the southeast corner of the castle leaving to a big field with paddocks, many horses were living there, trained to be able to withstand the odor that the wolves emanated. "What's the issue?" Asked Flora, to the stable boy. "Jax is back, my Lady, and three horses were stolen tonight!" He answered a little afraid of her reaction. "Which ones were stolen?" Asked Flora, with a feeling on her mind that she knew who did it. "Miara, Anedosia, and Travesco." The stable boy said. "You've said it all, it was Josh, Rob, and Michel! They were begging me to go on a scouting trip to the Plains, to get an idea of the field!" Flora said, crossing her arms. "Prepare me Fiora I'll go after them, also prepare Corvus, I'll invite someone to come with me, I need a steady horse for beginners." "It'll be done in a minute." Flora turned her back
