Floral was King Azalea's favorite scent and the moment Alicia entered my gym, he could barely focus. Worse still, it came alongside the scent of his mate. No! She couldn't be here. But, who would go to the length of using the things he loved to their own advantage? Anything to seduce the Vampire king? He looked in her direction and saw her standing beside Amelia, a senior cook in the mansion. "Your lordship," Amelia said, coming forward, her hips swaying seductively. It was usual for the females in his kingdom to try getting his attention, only that he wasn't interested in them. He just wanted that long lost treasure, but at the moment he seemed to have fallen for the young damsel who came in with Amelia. King Azalea's gaze fell on the beautiful young brown haired lady, as she followed Amelia towards him. Alicia's hands were clenched together and her arms were filled with goosebumps. She was nervous. "This is Alicia Smith. She ran away from her pack." Amelia said. Alicia k
"There won't be many females staying here in a week's time." Amelia had said to Alicia earlier on. She bit her lips, trying to keep her worried thoughts to herself. After she had shoved King Azalea, he had given her this weird smile, and told her that was enough for the day. Alicia's strength was always something that scared her. King Azalea looked quite amused by her sudden reaction after she disagreed to fight him. She hadn't anticipated his reaction at all. "Why don't some ladies get to stay?" Alicia asked Amelia as they entered the kitchen. "It is a custom here in the Kingdom to hold an annual club feast where ladies get bought and probably find a mate. Can you cook?" Amelia suddenly asked with a huge grin. "Ermh.. Yeah, I can cook very well. That's my specialty." Alicia lied. She never did any chore when she was back at her pack. It got her into a deep mess after she was brought to the Vampire Kingdom. "Perfect. King Azalea likes to have a nice, hot meal every sing
After attending to Princess Sasha, Alice went to her twin sister, Alicia's favorite spot. There she was, lost in deep thoughts. What could she be thinking? She was probably worried about her. "Alicia, are you okay?" Alice said, jerking her from the train of her thoughts. Obviously, the whole gym experience had just been a mirage. Amelia was the head cook and had never been nice to them in any way. "Hey Alice. Did anyone hurt you?" She asked, feeling concerned yet at the same time, trying to compose herself. "No. I'm just worried about the princess's sudden change of behavior towards us, especially me." "Alice, she probably has had a change of heart concerning us." Alicia said. "I had a wet dream last night and I think she's into…" "Into girls!?" Alicia gasped. Alice nodded in agreement. "We need to run away from here, Alice. I somewhat fell into a trance and saw some strange things too." "Like what?" Alice asked curiously. "Like Azalea not remembering that we're his
"What are you two doing?" Liam's eyes squinted as his gaze fell everywhere in Alicia's small, messy room. "I'm looking for some of my money. But I found it already. I just misplaced it." Alicia answered nonchalantly as she began picking up my clothes from the floor and began folding them. "Stop with your lies. Were you in the kitchen earlier?" "What kind of question is that? Of course, I and my twin sister, Alice, have been going around everywhere in this house. What's going on?" Alicia turned around and placed her hands on her hips as she tapped her foot on the tiled floor. The twins' eyes kept shifting back and forth between them as if they were impatient to hear their replies. "Nothing my dears. I need help with dinner. Can you come down and give this old lady a hand before the pups come and attack me from hunger?" Amelia spoke sweetly but Alicia saw hate and revenge in her eyes. Did that just come from Amelia? Dang! Something was about to happen. "Sure. We'll just pic
"Wear that!" A mature woman threw two paper bags at Alicia and Alice, and their eyes darted to it for a while before they went around the room. They were sharing a room with twelve other ladies and they were also handed paper bags. The others were excited as they chattered and compared the clothes they got - skimpy ones. Alicia closed her eyes as she steadied her breathing. Why did they not run away earlier? Why did they think it would be easier to escape from a kingdom that already owned them? Among the twelve females the twins shared the room with, only one shared the same sentiment as them. They didn't want to be part of this so-called club feast. The others were too excited. They said they had nothing to lose, so it was better to be owned by a rich billionaire, Vampire king or an Alpha. The twins wondered what they thought about mates, because they never seemed to care about it. "What are the three of you still waiting for?" The older female named Charlotte, who gave the
Mia was separated from the twins, and with almost fifty young females around, Alice and Alicia, had no idea where she had been taken. Since they rehearsed the dance together, perhaps, they would be on the stage at the same time. Alicia's eyes glanced at the wall clock overhead. It was already fifteen minutes since the host opened the event, and she could already hear his voice coming from the main floor where the stage was set up. He was stating all the rules. And no matter how much she wanted to pay attention, her eyes kept looking around. The building screamed elegance. She had never seen or touched fine furniture like the ones around here. It only meant one thing; the people here could really afford to spend their money on them. And the thought of that made her sick. The door leading backstage opened and the noise became louder. Applause. What was happening? Only then did she realize that the females were ushered into a line. Was it time already? But where was Mia? "A
The backstage was in complete chaos and the twin sisters just remained on a spot, leaning their back against the wall as they tilted their head up to the ceiling before they closed their eyes. Alicia told Mia earlier that if the backstage was busy, no one might notice them and that they could escape. But she didn't want to go with the twins. Now that she isn't part of these anymore, Alicia putting her actions into a plan shouldn't be hard. A part of Alice wanted to stay - for brown eyes. "Come here!" The twins' eyes snapped open when they heard Charlotte's voice. Her hand grabbed Alicia's wrist, pulling her somewhere until they reached a vanity table where her makeup was done earlier. She sat Alicia on the chair and spoke with the female. "Run another makeup on her, make sure this is not visible." She was pointing at Alicia's jaw, making her look at the mirror. Oh Goddess! A bruise was starting to show. Alicia stayed still as the female worked on her face. All the while,
Dark Brown Eyes was approaching, but his eyes were on the bastard, with a smug smirk plastered on his face. 1,100,000. Another bid flashed on the screen and the asshole cursed and brushed his hand over his hair before he started pressing his tablet again. All the while, all the twin sisters hopes of being bought by Dark Brown Eyes flew out of the window. He had no tablet with him. He was not bidding. He might be the organizer. Or... Goddess, he might be Mia's mate. Alice and Alicia's heart clenched and they had no idea why they were hurting.Their eyes watered as they dropped their gaze down, but they saw the screen move. The bastard bid over again. 1,300,000. "Getting frustrated, Vivon?" The deep baritone voice sent shivers down the twins spine, but this time, it was a shiver of pleasure. Even without looking, they knew it came from him. "Me, frustrated? Watch and learn, Azal." A cocky grin flashed across the bastard's face. Azal? Could he be King Azalea? He was still we
"Azazel, please get the barbeque stand outside, the others will be here any moment” Alicia called out as she ties Elsie's hair in front of the mirror. “On it” Azalea called back from the other room in the house. “Here, all done” Alicia said to her six year old daughter, Elsie. “I look pretty mommy” Elsie said happily with her tiny voice. “Yes you do, darling. Now why don't you go join the others outside to get everything ready?” Alicia said “Okay Mommy” Elsie said and got off the stool and running out of the room. “No running in the house” Alicia said in a loud voice to stop Elsie from running. She heard her daughter's footsteps slow down before resuming her running again. Alicia sighed but a smile danced on her lips. It has been 14 years since The bluecrest moon was created and by far it was the best years of her life. With a kingdom of their own, her sister close by, their mate and so many children… she wanted nothing more. So much have happened since that day when the vampir
"Alice, quit looking at yourself in the mirror and get ready to come out, all the guests have arrived” Alicia scolded with an eye roll. Her sister was always obsessed with a mirror, it was hard to pull her off it even when there are crowds of people anticipating their arrival. “I'm coming, mom” Alice said sarcastically before turning to join Alicia at the door. “Are you ready?” She asked with a softer tone, she was so nervous, it was why she couldn't stop worrying about her appearance and kept checking herself on the mirror. “No… I swear to the goddess that I'm not ready” Alicia blurted out in a shaky breath. Alice chuckled and took her sister's hand, “I'm not ready too but we have to get our shit together for this important day. It is time to show ourselves to the world and let them see our power, got that? She said. Usually it was Alicia who was stronger mentally and more encouraging, but now it was the other round. Alice couldn't blame her, no one can be strong all the time.
“Dear girls and Azalea, if you are reading this then it means you know that you all are mates. You be wondering how I know this, the truth is Azalea father and I knew all along. Azalea may not remember but he always wanted to visit Anna when she was pregnant, he presence used to relieve her of any pain that the girls were causing her. He was the first to say that it was twin girls in her and he claimed they were his babies. It was already very obvious that you all were mates. I truly apologize to Azalea, you must have been very sad and angry about your father's death, perhaps you think I killed him. I promise you I didn't. Your father was a very good friend of mine, we were good friends until our last breath, I still wished I said goodbye to him in a better way, the last time I saw him we were in an argument. He said he wanted me to take the heirloom and only give the kids when they realize that they are mates because his time was drawing near and I was very angry at him for being
As early as five o'clock, Azalea and the girls went outside the pack house to find out what Louis had hidden so securely, they greatly suspected that it was the heirloom but they didn't want to conclude without seeing it first. After the fun they had all through the night, their bodies wanted to sleep like the other members of the pack but they resisted because they were curious about what Louis was hiding from them all these years. The cold morning air made the girls shiver a little but they kept walking till they arrived at the three tall trees. They were arranged like a triangle, the girls couldn't help but remember the games that they played with their parents there under these trees. It was a place that held beautiful memories for them. “What now? Where do we dig?” Alice asked in confusion. The area between the tress weren't very small, it would take a couple of hours to dig every inch around it. The tri- couple stay quiet and they thought deeply, then Azalea said, “We could
“I'm back lovebirds” Bill said, breaking the moment and walking up to them. It was clear from his beady eyes that he must have shed a tear or two while he was at Louis and Anna's grave. Everyone laughed along with him, when the laughter dies down, he spoke up again, “Alpha Louis, goddess bless his soul, left something for you girls. He had told me to tell you only when you both have found your mate” Bill said. “Really?” The girls chorused in surprise. What could their dad have left for them that can only be discovered after they found their mates? Even Azalea listened with rapt attention. “Yes, perhaps he knew he would not be there to give you in person so he instructed me to” Bill said with a hint of sadness in his voice. “What is it uncle Bill?” Alicia asked. Bill pursed for a few seconds before saying, “When you girls were just babies, your father tattooed some words on you. He told me to tell you girls and your mate to find the tatto
The pack looked a lot different than before, this was probably because the place was being lively again, the weeds were cleared and destroyed houses rebuilt. It wasn't perfect but it was better, it goes to show how much progress they made in just one day of coming here. Azalea and the twins went around giving orders and making sure everything was alright. The wolves weren't scared of Azalea, despite being imprisoned they still knew what has been going on, they knew he was the girl's mates and that was why he released them and brought them back to the pack. They also know of Alicia and Alice sufferings in the vampire kingdom, they were grateful that the girls still remembered them after everything that happened. They could have remained as the Queens of the vampire kingdom and enjoyed a good life with their mate but they didn't, they still had their pack in mind. And as for Azalea, they forgave him when he released them and assist in rebuilding the pack. After the hardwork du
After some arrangement and planning, Azalea and the girls left the kingdom to the long abandoned pack. They wanted to find the heirloom, bury their parents properly and set everything right. Who would have thought the same person who came to ruin the pack months ago, would be the same person to fix it? The power of a mate bond was seemly too overpowered, the moon goddess matched accurately. Azalea left the kingdom to a few trusted aids to take care of, he didn't know for how long they would be gone so he had to make good preparations. The drive to the pack was in a comfortable silence, the girls enjoyed the cool air and also thought about their parents and the pack. They wanted to do right by them and be better daughters and pack leaders. The planned on bringing the pack back to life and their mate was going to help them. It was their sole reason of returning, the heirloom was a secondary reason. When they arrived at the pack, the twin's eyes couldn't help but
“What do we do now?” was the only thing Alicia could say, she couldn't defend her father as firmly as she did before but deep down she knew her father would never try to steal. This case was all too strange. “We go get answers” Azalea answered plainly. “What do you mean? Alice asked, confused and curious. “Perhaps, it's time to visit the pack together. I have postponed our vacation flight, we need to get answers and we need to get it now” Azalea said in a firm voice that the girls seemed to resonate with. “Yes, We need to find out what happened all those years ago and the whereabouts of the heirloom” Alicia said and Alice nodded in agreement. Azalea eyes softened as he heard them, he didn't think they would be so willing to help him find the heirloom even when it meant that their father had taken it. He had been thinking of a way to tell them about it but he didn't know
“Wait… you mentioned that you wanted to obtain some information from my parents, what was that about?” Alicia suddenly asked. Azalea's eyes flashed with an unreadable emotion and he said after a sigh, “I think it's time to talk” The girls ears perked up with rapt attention, they wanted to know what was so important to Azalea that he had to attack their pack with force. Azalea inhaled and exhaled deeply before beginning his narration, “Years ago, your father and mine were very good friends. They were quite close too. I was very young then and you girls hadn't been born, I can only remember little fragments of memories but as I grew older, I understood them more. There was an heirloom that the vampire kingdom had, rumour had it that only a few people had seen it but yet it was so powerful, it was why no one dared to attack the kingdom. Over the years, my father fell very sick, I was fifte
