"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
It was chaos. Screams filled the air, and fear gripped my heart. —-----It was a normal Wednesday afternoon. I was with Jaxon and Adrian on the training field when I started hearing screams. People rushed in through the gates, mostly women and girls.Sarah who was outside the gates came bustling in to meet us."What happened?" Jaxon asked."G…d..He…vam…vampires…they're attacking our men outside…"Our ears stood on alert. Jaxon and Adrian rushed to inform my father and I took Sarah in. The day we finally feared had come. My father's diplomacy was futile and I knew Rex would be saying 'I told you so' if he could see what was happening right now.My father ordered all the warriors to arm themselves for battle as the vampires threatened to take down our home. Jaxon was the head of a fleet and they were already sent out into the battleground, outside the gates. The gates were barricaded and all the women and kids were instructed by my mother to stay in an underground safe room. Sarah and
I blinked slowly and found myself back in the weapon room, in my human body and with my leg severely cut. Coincidentally, my mom burst through the door and gasped dramatically. "Lily! I've been looking for you! I thought you were….your leg! What happened to your leg?" She rushed to me and helped me up. She didn't ask me anything or say anything as she helped me walk slowly back to the safe room, because of my injured leg. There, she and Sarah helped treat my wounds. They kept on asking me what happened but I just told them I mistakenly held a long dagger and injured myself. I noticed my mom's scrutinizing look on me as I recounted the lie to both of them, but she suppressed her questions and told me to rest. Adrian was right. The vampires retreated but a lot of our warriors had been injured and some brutally killed. We held their memorials the day after and my father had gotten sterner after Rex had given him the final verdict to prepare for war which he wholeheartedly agreed to
~LILY'S POV~Adrian and I had a big task ahead of us. Our father wanted to send him to singlehandedly get help from Tyler's army (yes, he was now the general of the army) but I intervened and stated why Adrian would be unsuccessful if he went alone. "You know how Tyler hates Adrian, father. He won't want to give his fleets if it's Adrian who requests from him." I protested."Tyler won't be incompetent to do that in these dire times. He knows better.""And I know him father. His father has gone to gather more allies so the feeling of authority that has settled on his head will only add to his disdain and rudeness. If you send Adrian alone, he would come back alone.""If Jaxon was here I would send him, but God knows where he has run off too!" My father turned and banged the table. Jaxon had disappeared after the recent battle. People who fought with him said he was injured but if he was, why wasn't he brought back? I did worry about him. "Fine! What should be done now?""I will go wit
I couldn't believe what Leo said. It felt like I was experiencing a terrible nightmare. "Wh…what just…" I was speechless. What had just come out of Adrian?Leo smiled at me, reveling the effect he had on me, "That was your Adrian, his true nature… That is the real Adrian.""No, I can't…I can't believe it. That's not possible. Get that thing away from him!" I screamed on top of my lungs."I knew you wouldn't believe me easily…Get the chair."I looked in shock. He had commanded a vampire to take Adrian to an "electrocution" chair. Fear and panic took hold of me, and my heart raced as I struggled to understand the seriousness of the situation."Leo, please stop!" I cried out, my voice filled with desperation. "You can't do this! Adrian isn't a monster. He's not a danger to anyone."Leo's eyes narrowed, and his face showed a cold determination. "You don't seem to get it, little wolf. Adrian comes from a family with a cursed bloodline. There's darkness inside him, and it's only a matter o
Henry felt frustrated and his eyebrows furrowed. He said, "Tyler, I understand what you're saying, but blaming Adrian won't help us right now. We need to find Lily and Adrian. We can't accuse Adrian without any proof."There was a quiet moment on the other end of the phone as Tyler thought about Henry words. He finally said, in a softer voice, "You're right. I'm just worried about Lily. We should work together to find them."Henry agreed silently, even though Tyler couldn't see him. "Okay. Let's forget our disagreements for now and focus on finding them safely. Please, gather the pack warriors and organize a search party."As they discussed their plan, Henry couldn't shake the feeling of guilt. He had trusted Adrian, thinking he could control his wild side, but now his daughter's safety was at risk. He doubted his own judgment, wondering if he had made a big mistake. Just as he started feeling overwhelmed, Rebekah came into the room, looking more worried than the day before. She hugg
~THEO'S POV~I drove alongside my fellow men, their motorcycles speeding roughly through the forest trail in the dense forest. The air was thick with tension as we mentally prepared for a potential vampire attack. We all held our weapons tightly and looked around carefully for any signs of danger. My friends, with serious faces, encouraged each other to stay brave and sometimes made jokes to cool our nerves."Stay sharp, lads," I called out, my voice carrying above the sound of the engine rums. "We've dealt with these bloodsuckers before, and we'll do it again."A chorus of affirmations filled the air as the men nodded in agreement. We had faced countless threats from the vampire coven. Our dedication to protecting the pack hadn't shaken. I was known for my unwavering loyalty and bravery, qualities that earned me the respect of my comrades.As we continued, conversations filled the spaces between the trees. We shared stories of battles won, recounting tales of narrow escapes and victo
No one else knew she was a human except Lily. She's held it as a secret ever since her mom told her when she turned 18 the year before, so how could this bitch have known? "Shocked right? I told you and Lily before. I have all the information I need to ruin you both." Audrey smirked wickedly. "Who told you that?" "I know, and that's why you should be scared of me." Audrey's lips outlined every word to instill fear in Sarah. Sarah's eyes narrowed, "I don't give a fuck about that now…You may underestimate me however you want, Audrey. I may or may not have supernatural abilities, but I have something you lack—integrity and loyalty to my friends." Audrey's confident facade faltered and her eyes narrowed as she glared at Sarah. "You think you're so righteous, don't you? But mark my words, Sarah, your little search for the truth will lead you down a dangerous path. And once you would've gone too far, there'll be no turning back. Lily is gone and so will you be, soon." Without waiting
