Adrian looked around, maintaining his calm, "I had only shown the same disgust and bewilderment of seeing a vampire as the rest of the others did that evening, sir. There was nothing more to it."

Poor Adrian. I wondered how he felt calling his own people disgusting…

The room was tense, and I could feel the heavy weight of the accusations hanging over Adrian. I held onto Sarah's hand, unable to look away from the unfolding scene.

"But why was he particularly looking at you?"

"I didn't notice that, sir. I have never seen that creature before."

With each denial from Adrian, my father's anger and suspicion grew stronger.

As the interrogation went on, I could see the frustration and helplessness on Adrian's face. He tried to remain composed, desperately trying to prove his innocence to my father. But it was clear that my father had already made up his mind and believed that Adrian had a role in the vampire's escape.

"Where were you last night?"

"In my chambers, sir."

    It was a week into the search and progress hadn't been made. Adrian was still in jail, and my mom prohibited Sarah and I from moving around too much since we were in "trying times." On the other hand, rumours had spread fast that some werewolves from our grove had been involved in a secret meeting with some unidentified vampires. I literally didn't know where and how the rumour started spreading but it was a particular day Sarah and I were playing cards in our room, and she brought it up, I came to know of it. "A secret meeting?" My voice rang. "Yeah. I heard Don went for it too and that's why he's been missing. They say it's been happening for months now, somewhere hidden in the woods, away from any of our kinds' prying eyes." Don had gone missing. So that's why I hadn't seen him for such a long time. But why did noone talk about him and just - forget and pretend like he never existed? This was getting stranger than I could divulge. "But who attended those meetings?" "Werewolv

    What was he doing back here?"I need to speak with Lily. It's urgent." Jaxon told Sarah.I had already walked up to them and Jaxon's eyes met mine. I could see the desperation in them."Anything you want to say to me, you can say it in front of her too." I said, gesturing to Sarah.Jaxon looked confused, "But Lily…""I've told her too. I told you we need to get as many helping hands for you…""But not just anyone..I told you trusting people is the last thing I want to do now.""I'm not just anyone." Sarah responded to Jaxon."Lily…" Jaxon pleaded to me with his voice but I was firm."She's already part of this too. We only want to help you."He sighed and we motioned for him to enter. As he was about to, someone called him from outside."You're needed by the commander, Jaxon." It was one of his colleagues.Sarah and I exchanged a look then glanced at him."I'm sorry, maybe another time." As he's about leaving, Sarah wanted to call him back but I pulled her in and shut the door."But h

    Things got pretty tense between our grove and the vampire coven, and it started feeling pretty dangerous around here. Our peaceful grove turned into a freaking war zone. It's like we couldn't even tell who was on our side anymore. Strange messages started coming to us from unknown messengers. The messages scared us, warning us about an upcoming war. Each note made us feel uneasy - some written in a very dark shade of red blood spelling out, "Prepare for war." The pack hunters were getting antsy, honing their instincts due to the oncoming threat. The boundaries that used to keep us apart from the vampire realm were now the battleground of an invisible war. Every night, spies would sneak into our territory, aiming to weaken and scare us. We all got together, making plans and gearing up for the inevitable fight. The pack hunters stepped up their game, training even harder and improving their skills to take. The nights grew scarier, and the forest seemed to warn us of impending doom.

    "Me?! A chosen one?" I asked, barely able to speak.Adrian nodded solemnly. "Yes, Lily. The prophecy has gifted you to be the key to our future. Find the key and find the way. You ARE that key….."Emotions began overwhelming me—uncertainty, self-denial, excitement, and hope. How could I, little flimsy, be the second chosen one to bring unity to our realm? Did the moon goddess and ancient gods choose with their eyes covered? This was fictitious and totally hard to believe. I almost chuckled.Deep inside, I did feel he was telling me the truth but it was too bizarre for me to even imagine."Adrian, I can hardly live my own life without feeling like a mess every second. How can the gods and goddess choose me to help bring balance to our world?" I said with a light voice."We don't know why we're chosen, Lily. We just accept it - like the way I have accepted who I am." A tender smile stretched out on his lips making them more alluring."Still, it's so bizarre…imagine me. Me! A chosen one

    "Hush, Sarah, or you'll attract attention." I cautioned her and quickly went to close the door with one of my wings, which felt weird. "Holy shit…holy shit…" "Do I look that horrid?" I asked. "I don't know…what I can tell you, babes…that's if you're in there." "Sarah, I'm replying you. Yes I'm here." "Then please change back - this shit is really terrifying." "Do I look that bad?" "For god sake just change back!" She yelled. "I don't know how to!" I yelled back. "Oh no.." "What?" "Shhhhh." "What is it?" "Footsteps. You need to hide. Someone's coming." "But where?" "I don't know. In the bathroom. Go in..now." Sarah shoved my feathery self into the bathroom… "Urrghhh…oh gosh. I hate birds. I hate feathers." She kept on whimpering. "Thanks a lot." I said sarcastically. "Don't say anything okay?" "I'll try." She went to open the door and I heard mom's voice. "Where's Lily?" "Morning, Aunt." "Morning. Isn't Lily with you?" "Em, now…well she went downstairs to get a

    I couldn't still believe what I was hearing. Memories and moments from my life suddenly made sense, and I felt a strong sense of purpose burning inside me. Yet, it was still coupled with confusion."But why? I don't still understand, why was I chosen?" I asked, feeling curious and a little scared.Adrian looked into my eyes and spoke with confidence. "Okay, here's a reason I can tell you, It's your spirit, Lily. Your determination, kindness, and strength. Guardians aren't just picked randomly; they are made through the challenges of life. They become symbols of hope in the face of darkness."He explained the responsibilities that come with being a Guardian—the sacrifices, the difficult trials, and the constant need to protect our world and keep everything in balance. As Adrian spoke, I felt fear and purpose welling up inside me. I realized that the weight of the world was now on my shoulders and I was definitely not ready."Adrian," I whispered, uncertain yet resolute, "what do I do

    He softly bit a part of my neck and I felt a surge of energy run through my body. He had marked me as his. I was already his. There was no denying.This was the first time I was having sex with anyone so I didn't want him to notice my inexperience and naivety, but I felt he did and that's why he was slow and gentle with me.He slid his right hand down my abdomen, my belly button too sensitive, and traced my core. The tingling of my essence made me shudder. I was completely wet under him."Do you like that?" He whispered into my ear."Uhun." I slowly nodded.He continued to stroke my labia, each movement sending pulsating jerks through my hips. He worked on it till I felt it coming. And then I came undone on him.He took the same finger and licked my essence in front of me, showing that he wanted every part of me. I really liked this side of him.He finally stopped the shower and wrapped a towel around both our bodies to dry us.I whispered to him, "Adrian, we're not done are we?""Oh,

    "Yes. You both are two in one. One cannot be without the other. A Guardian always has a companion and mate, or else most of her powers won't be manifested. The same way your grandfather was to your grandmother that's how your other person will be to you." I immediately understood she was referring to Adrian. Adrian, the hybrid vampire I loved, was connected to my destiny. I asked, "Aunt? Can…a vampire be the other person for me? Can he be connected to my destiny?" Sarah gave me a side look but I didn't pay any attention to her reaction. Aunt Belinda thought for a while and then smiled at me, "It is not the label or nature that matters, it is the heart. If both of your hearts are conjoined, then he's the right one for you. He who is the companion to the Guardian also has an important part to play in the prophecies too." "That's exactly what Adrian told me." I whispered myself. As Aunt Belinda shared more, my mind was overwhelmed. It was hard to understand the huge responsibility I

    ~ LILY'S POV~ I sat upright on the bed. I could hear my heart beating wildly, and felt beads of sweat clinging to my forehead. The dream, the same recurring dream, had invaded my sleep again. I felt a chill creeping through me as those words in the Lythian language echoed in my mind. Adrian, still half asleep beside me, sensed my restlessness and gently kissed my forehead. His voice was soft and soothing as he asked, "What's troubling you, luv?" I turned to him with widened eyes. I recounted the details of the dream. It's the second time I had that dream. I saw Cathro in the dream warning me about a certain "Darram" but she was speaking in Lythian language. Saying, "Beware, Darram comes soon and we fear you will be the last Guardian this realm will ever know." Adrian's concern was evident, but he didn't want to add to my distress. He pulled me close into his strong arms, and reassured me with the warmth of his presence. "You shouldn't think too much about it, at least not now. You

    Jaxon found himself behind a runty herb stall in the hidden market. The canopy above offered shade from the scorching sun. The cloaked man stood in front of him, carefully arranging an assortment of herbs in clay pots and glass bottles. Jaxon had come to appreciate the familiarity they both shared with nature's offerings.Jaxon took a deep breath and finally spoke, "The salves you've been giving me have been a great help to Tiana. Her scars are slowly healing, and I can't thank you enough for your help."The cloaked man nodded, his deep and wise voice always leaving Jaxon in wonder. "It's an honor to assist."Jaxon's eyes never left the cloaked man. He spoke with a sense of urgency in his voice. "Tiana's scars are fading, but her new wounds... they keep reopening. I know it's as a result of the remaining dark magic that's around her. I need something to ease her pain until I take her to the healers at the Cave"The cloaked man nodded, "I have just the thing, but be cautious. These her

    ×××××××××In the quiet of the night, Audrey was preparing herself for bed, or really, for Leo. She sat, fixing her hair while looking into the mirror. Her reflection stared back at her, and behind her, she sensed Leo watching. He lay on the bed, his eyes never leaving her.The night's silence was broken only by the gentle rustle of her clothing. As Audrey gazed at her own reflection, she couldn't help but remember the image of Leo's lifeless body. It was a haunting image that often crept into her thoughts, and tonight was no different.A shiver ran down her spine as she realized how frequently she feared his death. Audrey couldn't quite understand why his demise, or the mere thought of it, was such a constant source of dread for her. What would she do if he were to die again?Leo sensed the worry in her posture and voice, prompting him to ask, "What's the matter?"Rather than revealing her deep-seated fears, she shifted the conversation toward their recent meeting with Viktor.

    ×××××××××As Leo and Audrey stepped out into the courtyard, the air was filled with residual tension from the meeting. Leo nodded to his henchmen, silently instructing them to move forward and prepare the car for their departure. As they scurried off, leaving the two of them alone, Leo's demeanor changed.He swiftly pulled Audrey into his embrace. Her lithe form fitted perfectly against his own. It was a gesture that had become all too familiar between them. There was always a genuine attraction and the thrill of their dangerous partnership. Their flirtatious banter began as he gazed into her eyes, wanting to start something."It's about time I commend you for your loyalty. What you did back there -""Was nothing. I was tired of being in the midst of three grown-up men bickering like kids."Leo laughed and pulled her closer, "Oh, Audrey, you've been holding out on me. You've got a sense of humor buried in there."Audrey kept a straight face but he tightened his grip around her waist.

    ×××××××××The room was covered with such a thick tension as Viktor and Leo threw eachother assertive glares as they sat opposite eachother at the roundtable. The flickering chandeliers gave enough light to the polished wooden surface below it, and their henchmen stood behind them, ready to leap into action at any given moment.Leo's calculated move broke the silence. He nonchalantly tossed the Bodessa medallion onto the table, its precious metal clinking against the wood. His piercing eyes bore into Viktor's as he opened his mouth, "I brought this," Leo always sounded ambitious and too cocky, despite who he was addressing, "in exchange for men. I need more troops to raid the werewolf pack. It'll benefit the clan, and I know you've been planning a raid on one of their lower towns too. I could help with that."Viktor, the more composed and legitimate senior of the two, regarded the medallion for a moment. He gestured for one of his men to give it to him to which the latter did.

    THE WORLD OF "FORBIDDEN MATE"Someone once asked me about the world setting of the story since they saw elements of modern and mediaeval worlds in the story.This is your answer, dear:In Story 1, the setting and world are a blend of supernatural elements and modern-day life. The narrative features caves and packs, which are key components of the werewolf culture. These caves serve as communal spaces and dens for rebel groups, where they hold meetings, make important decisions, and discuss their strategies. The packs, as you already know, represent a strong sense of community and hierarchy.Amidst the supernatural background features, modern elements are also included into the story. This includes the presence of everyday technology like phones and digicams, used for communication and recording events. Weapons such as daggers are also part of this world which reflects the need for self-defense and conflicts that arise.The characters frequently visit bars, where they socialize, and so

    Out of nowhere, Audrey appeared. She was surrounded by a dark and eerie aura. Her eyes glowed with evil as she summoned the powers of her devil goddess, Ashtarah. The air around us crackled with strange energy.When she saw my present form, she seemed to rethink facing me but she proceeded still, "So you're a Guardian? An unworthy bitch like you?"I studied her."Why did you always have the good things, hunh?You should have never been born, Lily! You're my bane and I want you cut you off once and for all!""Your hatred will only lead you to your grave, Audrey!" I was trying to get to her."No! I will send you to your grave, right here!" But alas.With a furious battle cry, Audrey lunged at me, her claws extending like sharp blades. I quickly used my wings spreading wide to shield me from her attack. We clashed in mid-air, feathers and fur flying as we struggled for dominance.Ashtarah's power flowed into Audrey, making her incredibly strong and quick. She easily dodged my attacks wit

    The air felt heavy with anticipation as the BlueMoon pack and Shadow Clan armies stood facing each other. Their eyes locked in a fierce confrontation. The clearing, once a peaceful neutral space, had now transformed into a battleground.Tyler stepped forward, his eyes fixed on Leo, "This ends here, Leo. We won't let you harm our pack any longer," Tyler declared with a resolute tone.Leo smirked, his fangs glinting in the moonlight. "Oh, dear Alpha boy king, you're so naive to think you can stop us. This is just the beginning of our dominance," he replied with a sinister chuckle."Chargeeee!" Tyler's voice echoed through the crowd."Make me some blood!" Leo shouted out and burst into incredulous laughter.As the armies clashed, the forest became a battleground. The air filled with fierce sounds of bodies colliding, claws slashing, and fangs biting.
