Chapter 4 - Vampires
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Alexa set out with him on the journey to find out what was going on, which was an idea that he didn't like very much.
Since she was a woman, and Zulcan's queen, he thought it would be wiser to send a warrior werewolf to that.
His arguments were not good enough to convince her.
They decided to keep it a secret, for the time being, their union could cause even greater rebellion, than the one that seemed to be happening.
He stopped near a stream and sat under a tree to rest, although he was a creature that could stand for days without sleep and rest, unfortunately, he had spent a lot of time in the place where the heat emanated in the kingdom of Zulcan had affected him in a very negative way.
He bent down and wet his fingers in the water. He had made the same route, not long ago and the temperature change had already made drastic changes. The water that had to be chilled almost to the point of frozen was already only fresh. That made him even more worried, he knew he needed to speed up the whole process of telling Morgan of his plans.
He set up with the queen, so both of them were in the same river that was between the two territories, in a week, to leave together.
Staying there only made him worse, so he decided to continue his journey back to his kingdom.
The forest was tightly closed, there was no passing mark since the vampires preferred not to leave their trail.
Close footsteps were heard, and he stopped suddenly. Silence took over the entire environment, he could hear his breathing. Edwin decided to approach, and the smell made his nostrils inflate. She was human. She looked frightened, she was alone in the woods, the icy wind made her red hair ruffle. His predatory instinct was sharpened. Edwin could even hear the blood of the human thumping through his veins. It was too tempting, even for someone well-controlled like him. He smiled imagining savoring every drop of blood that would come out.
He quickly climbed to the top of the tree and watched her closely. The young woman stood still more frightened, the winds making horrible noises in that forest as it beat their leaves, causing them to sway and strike each other. He was ready to attack her when he heard other footsteps and came to his senses. He was fighting for the treaty to be fulfilled, he was still in Alexa's territory, if he did hunt her, he would be doing what the treaty does not authorize. Quickly he jumped into the trees ahead.
The young woman smelled sweet. Tempting.
Edwin shook his head and continued on his way, trying to dispel the scent that was still impregnated in his nose.
At dawn, he saw the great stone castle in the middle of the green mountain. The wall was just ahead. It was protected only by some guards, the gate was made of wood and had large iron spikes stuck out.
He approached and the gate opened. He was tired, but there was no time to rest. "I have to meet Morgaine!" He declared to Aurea, Morgaine's right arm.
Aurea packed her hair in a messy bun. Edwin wondered why she always did it, it must have been a strange craze on her part, but her coke was always messed up, with a few loose threads in the front. Despite being as old as Morgaine, Aurea always preferred to appear among all with a youthful appearance, "she's in a meeting with some village rulers!" That was all that she replied.
Edwin gave a slight snort and straightened his hair, "tell her it's urgent. I'll take a shower, and then I'll go to her office." He proclaimed, ignoring anything else she could say as he walked away. Edwin went up the stairs to his room, the silence reigned, and that sounded even stranger. In a way, everything was changing. He took a bath, changed himself, and quickly went to meet Morgaine.
Morgaine was dressed in a black dress, her hair and eyes were black. Everything in her remembered the darkness. Many feared her, "son, I hope you have some good news!" she hoped with a broad smile. She was sitting on the other side of an office table. Edwin sat down in the chair in front of her. "Things are even more difficult."
"It's not hard to see!" He replied thoughtfully, he couldn't anticipate how Morgaine would react to his news, but even so, he decided he would not go back.
"Even humans must have noticed the change since none of them dare walk through the forest!" She continued, ignoring any of Edwin's lack of attention.
"Negative!" He remarked, remembering the sweet young woman who was in the middle of the forest with the frightening features. "There are still humans walking through the forests!" He concluded, his argument made Morgaine very surprised. Her eyes kept moving from one side to the other, she was trying to think of something to answer. "I have good news, but I have bad information." Edwin was faster. He could not waste time, with Morgaine's entanglements. He needed to give notice of his journey along with Alexa, the queen of Zulcan. And he also needed to know if she was involved in vampire rebellions and if she took part in it, giving consent for the treaty to be broken.
"What information?" She asked stepping forward, showing her curiosity to the surface. She arranged some papers on the table and watched him closely.
"The treaty is being broken..." He began, slowly, thinking about how to word it correctly.
"Of course, it is, we already knew that. They are raising more werewolves and this is affecting us. It's affecting Lucius." Morgaine interrupted him. When she spoke of Lucius, Edwin remembered that he brought nothing so that they could sacrifice to making him healthy again.
He shook his head and continued, "it's being broken on both sides." Morgaine was startled by the revelation, and when she was ready to inquire, Edwin continued. "But from what I could see, there aren't enough werewolves to cause us all this evil ..." He paused and thought a little, "at least not in Zulcan's."
"Are you saying there's another Natural Werewolf? Who can transmit the genes?" She inquired worriedly.
"I'm not sure what's going on. But I can assure you that there is nothing wrong with that side of the forest."
"I do not understand what's happening then."
Edwin got up, went to the window, and watched the village.
"There is a rebellion being made by vampires." He began, Edwin turned and stared at Morgaine. "A lot of humans were killed by vampires outside our territory."
"What do you mean?" She stammered.
"Are you giving consent to this?" He interrogated irritably.
"I... I did not know until now."
Morgaine couldn't convince him, Edwin was annoyed at the whole situation, she was the only person who still had the power to talk to the vampire residents of Elatre. She was to instruct them to follow the treaty to the letter, but it was not quite that what she did.
"I'm off on a journey, to find out what's going on!" Edwin declared he wasn't expecting any further approval from her. "I've joined the Queen of Zulcan, and together we will search for answers."
"What?" Morgaine stood up, her voice pitched, "that's absurd!"
"Just so we have chances to find out, I will not take guards and she will not take the pack. That way we will not risk war," he remarked quietly.
"I do not accept it!" She protested.
"I can't expect approval from anyone who authorizes the breaking of treaty rules," Edwin said firmly, he might not be the most ethical of all, but the treaty was a legacy from his father, and he would do anything to keep it. "I hope you will not try to stop me. I'm doing this for the greater good!"

Alexa climbed on her dark horse, along with her travelclothes the only colorful thing in that scenario was her blond white hair in a braid and the silver pommel of her sword. By the corner of her eye, she could see Charles and with her sight of a werewolf, she could tell the disapproval on his crossed arms in front of his chest, the line that his lips made, and a wrinkle on his forehead. She didn't want any goodbyes so they wouldn't alarm the villagers or the rest of the kingdom. As soon as she crossed the gates into the open road she motioned her horse into a gallop until her castle was nothing more than a blurry point in the horizon behind her she let the horse calm down to a quick pass without anyone to talk to during her travel Jax became an excellent confidant.Her thoughts were a mess about the decision that she had made, she still had doubts if it was the right one never before in all the history of the kingdom a move like the one she had made were ever attem

Edwin felt nothing as he passed the Barrier. He had a very strong body and over time learned to control the pain he felt when he crossed the border. And it seemed, from what he had seen last week, more vampires had learned to create this force and were crossing the border to kill humans. He was not sure yet if Morgaine was consenting to all that, but at no time did she denied her involvement. It worried him because she was the only person he could trust after his father's death.He approached Alexa, looked at the horse she was bringing, and then into the woods behind her, "Where should we go?" She asked.Edwin stared at her intently and his attention flew to the tips of her right hand that were in a purplish tone, "did you try to cross the Border?" He asked, pointing behind his back, where he had come from.She became visibly bewildered and hid her hand behind her back, which meant a great weakness in front of him, "even though this is my part of the

There was no better feeling than freedom, as she galloped with Jax, even though she had a vampire, over her head, leaping from tree to tree. As she had feared, he had spent the brief moment when they were talking insulting her, or at least trying, nothing very serious, but her inner wolf did not like it very much, she knew that if the offenses climbed, she might not be able to control the wolf but she also didn't feel comfortable with Edwin, to give him the volume she carried with her, wrapped in a leather and velvet bag, trying as much as possible to keep it away from her skin.The night gave way to the day and although Alexa did not want to give the weak part to Edwin, Jax was beginning to show signs of fatigue and would be reckless to continue pulling him, so she stopped the horse and waited for Edwin to realize that she needed to stop, a thing he made, just a few trees ahead, going back over the land he had a smug smile on his face when he said, "So, Queen,

Edwin stared into nothingness, thinking of his life and his kingdom, "living in Elatre is normal!"Alexa stared at him, she had given him too much detail. She knew she was more exposed than he was, though everything that had been said would not affect her at all."Well, it must not be like Zulcan, so I do not know what's normal for you."Edwin rolled his eyes, he didn't want to tell what it was like to live there, because that would make him remember his dark past, "I also ran with the children of the kingdom while I was younger and without responsibility," he began, his lack of detail irritating Alexa, "but despite everything, everyone there was antisocial, even the children.""Do you have any kind of transformation?" Alexa's curiosity about him was funny, he thought everyone knew how vampires lived."I only survive if I take a jug of blood a day at a minimum" he went on. "Well, that's since I've known myself, so I should not have a
Fated Enemies Chapter 9 - Werewolves
After what she had seen the night before, it was with relief that she saw Jax came to her, early in the morning, frightened, it took her some time to calm it down and grab it when she succeeded she rode it and kept a jog, not wanting to know how competitive Edwin felt about showing that vampires were better than werewolves, but she had slept badly after the sighting of the creatures last night and all that entailed.Night Soldiers were creatures conjured by a powerful human-made spell, their only function was to hunt the mystics, whether they were Vampires or Werewolves, although they did not see well they had excellent qualities in other senses, had the smell of vampires, and the hearing of a werewolf, the speed of a vampire allied with the agility of a werewolf and to make matters worse, if the books were correct, they had poison in the claws that immobilized and in the teeth, the same venom as a vampire and the only way to kill a creature like there was with
Fated Enemies Chapter 10 - Vampires
Edwin could not sleep, no matter how high he had climbed on the tallest tree there and seen that it was safe, without any danger around. He still did not believe that she had entrusted to him something so powerful, that he could control her whole kingdom. Very brave of her to trust him, since he was another mystical being, and one of the worstenemies of the werewolves.The collar was a shiny leather, with two black stones in the center, the buckle was silver. The glow of that object almost dazzled his gaze.Edwin put the leash inside the bag again and faced Alexa, who slept next to Jax, just after the fire she had made the night before. During the night in the forest, it was very cold, that fire was not enough to heat them, but it was already much better than just the temperature of the environment.He studied her, she seemed to be young in human years, maybe twenty-two or about that, the same age he had whe he stopped growing and aging, as normal in
Fated Enemies Chapter 11 - Werewolves
Trying to fall asleep, pretending not to feel Edwin's eyes on her back, she began to feel a mental itch, an emptiness she had forgotten to check and tried to connect with the minds of her fellow pack members, but she quickly pulled herself into other fields, she still felt his strong cold hands squatting around her waist, she could not forget the feeling no matter how much she wanted it, though she didn't want to for once no one could not even admit that a werewolf was friendly with a vampire, let alone that she enjoyed the company of one, and despite the what always had been done and Edwin's bickering she was beginning to like his company, even more so after learning that the Night Soldiers were active again, it would be good not to have to face one alone, even in her Wolf.She tried to remember what else was in the stories, but her tired mind took her into pre-war history before the war. At a time when Vampires and Werewolves lived in harmony, with nothing but a small d

Entering the clearing, and seeing the black monster of the Night Soldier laying in the ground unmoving gave Edwin some concern, would it be alive, was the question that was on his mind, with his sight he noticed the black goo that was gushing from a wound of teeth. Then he heard a whimpering, that sent shivers down his spine his vision caught sight of a massive moon white wolf lying in the ground.His chest felt heavy, when he saw the wound on the side of the wolf, red-stained the pure white fur, and the wound looked black-ish. He came close, he had heard the howls and suspected something was wrong with Alexa, but nothing would have prepared him for this, from the stories she told, he knew what was happening, she was dying, and he couldn't accept that.Edwin came closer to the wolf, with a plan in his head, it might no cure her, but it could help to delay her death and maybe give them time to found a solution to save her. He grabbed the coll

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

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
Fated Enemies Chapter 32 - The Brigade
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

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
Fated Enemies Chapter 29 - Lucius
"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.
