Chapter 89 The Sea DragonKie beamed with pride as his father, Niklaus, stepped aboard the "Sea Dragon" and gazed around in awe. The islanders gathered around, marveling at the sleek design and advanced technology on display."Well done, son!" Niklaus exclaimed, his eyes shining with wonder. "This is truly a marvel of innovation. I think I need an upgrade," he added with a chuckle, clearly impressed by the "Sea Dragon's" capabilities.Neptune smiled, her digital face radiating pride. "Thank you, sir. I'm glad you like what you see. The 'Sea Dragon' is a cutting-edge vessel, and I'm happy to be a part of your family's fleet."As Niklaus explored the yacht, Kie couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. He had always known that his father was a visionary, and now he was seeing the fruits of that vision firsthand."Welcome aboard, Leilani! Welcome aboard, Bella!" Neptune called out, as the two women stepped onto the yacht, their eyes wide with excitement.The group spent the next ho
Chapter 90 The IntroductionTieanna's eyes locked onto Niklaus, her gaze piercing and searching. She seemed to be sizing him up, trying to determine if she could trust him. After a moment, she nodded slightly, her eyes never leaving Niklaus' face. as the others watched in amazement."Deal," she said softly. "I am a Meridian. We are an aquatic species, able to live in both water and on land. We live not far from your Island. W-we have been watching you all for some time, well I have, our true form is...different from what you see now." She tries to explain without revealing too much.Niklaus smiled, his fangs gleaming in the light. "And I am a Vampire," he said, his voice low and smooth. "An immortal species, living in the shadows for centuries, but we now live with humans openly." He paused, his eyes locked onto Tieanna's. "We mean you no harm, Tieanna. We're just trying to understand."Naki leaned forward, her eyes shining with curiosity. "What do you mean, Tieanna? What's different
Chapter 91 Why It SankBrent finally said "Wow,"Then Neptune spoke up, "Wow indeed, she is a hybrid my scans show that she is half Meridian and half Atlantian. My database is limited to these two species." Neptune says."So the mother she was searching for was a pure-blood Atlantian."So you can scan beings and tell what they are?" I asked in complete amazement. "That is correct," Neptune replied.Neptune's expression turned serious. "We need to be careful. There are those who would seek to exploit Tieanna's heritage for their own gain, her secrets must remain secret, I am programmed to protect and serve.."Niklaus's eyes locked onto Neptune's. "Agreed. We'll keep this quiet for now. But we need to learn more about Tieanna's people to make sure they are not a threat. Her Father seems to have a deep hatred for us, this concerns me. and how large is his army?"Niklaus's mind wondered with concern. "Neptune, can you access any information about Tieanna's people? Any history or records th
Chapter 1 & 2 Chapter 1. Drunken Body Shots I woke up to, ambulance sirens going past my bedroom window, and my cat purring on my pillow above my head. I stretched and yawned, looking over at my alarm clock which had never gone off, probably because Scuttlebutt had stepped on the button and turned it off. I stumbled my way into the kitchen after smelling my coffee pot brewing. Skuttlebutt, my fury familiar, ran ahead of me wanting treats. I took out my favorite mug, fixed myself a steaming cup of coffee, and went to my bay window seat to watch the tourist walking by. Suddenly, I remembered that I needed to call the club and confirm Lucas' favorite band for his surprise birthday party tonight. Lucas and I have been best friends since we were kids at the orphanage. We both joined the witches' coven seven years ago, but we have had powers since we were kids. But before I could place the call my cell phone rang, it was Brent, my shapeshifter bouncer from the club. He opens ea
Chapter 3 Midnight Romance After enjoying a delicious meal and a few glasses of wine, we decided to embark on a midnight riverboat cruise. As a billionaire in this city, he was well-known and loved by all, never having to wait in line for anything. We were the first to board the three-story riverboat "The Delta Queen." We headed straight to the bar on the top floor. I smiled at him and remarked, "Well sir, do you come here often? Everyone seems to know you here." little did I know that she made him feel important, he took my hand in his and smiled, "You'll get used to it." ****** Lyra calls Sam to bring her to Brent's apt. She wanted to apologize for her behavior last night, but she's not really sorry. She just wants to know where she stands with him now. Sam says ok, but he has to hurry back to the dock to pick up Kie "It's ok I can get the other limo to come get me at the dock, it's just that you know where Brent lives right? Kie said you dropped him off last night?" "Yeah, he
Chapter 4 Unwanted Invitations We regained consciousness, in a small dark room, surrounded by unfamiliar faces. We were on a luxurious yacht, but it was clear that something was off. The group of people surrounding us were dressed in formal attire, but their eyes told a different story - one of secrets and deceit: rogue Vampires and two witches. A figure emerged from the shadows, a woman with beady green eyes, her hair pulled back in a single braid. "Welcome, Kieran and Raven," she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "I see you're enjoying the fruits of my labor. You see, this yacht is mine, and you two are my...guests." the witch moves closer. We exchanged a look of confused and worried glances. "What do you want?" Kie asked, trying to sit up, but sharp pains shot throughout his body, forcing him back down. Someone knew who and what he was. They had injected him with high doses of verbena. The woman chuckled, she smelt of rotting flesh. "You'll find out soon enough. But for n
Chapter 5 The fight is against Shade Marcus the Narrsissist Vampire King. Sam stands tall, his chiseled physique a testament to his unwavering dedication to fitness. His bulging biceps and broad shoulders exude raw power, honed from years of military battles. His shoulder-length black hair often falls messily onto his broad shoulders, and his piercing grey/blue eyes seem to bore into those he meets. His tattoos, a striking blend of Mayan tribal and Anunnaki designs, whisper tales of his rebellious past and his defiance against the darkness. As an elder vampire and a skilled fighter, Sam's tech expertise and ancient knowledge make him a formidable force in the world. His raw, masculine appeal is tempered by a hint of vulnerability, a glimpse of the scars he's accumulated over the centuries. After he and Lyra witnessed the boat blow up, they franticly searched with vampire speed but couldn't find them anywhere. Back in the limo he pulled out his Laptop and entered his military code.
