The forest was surprisingly gentle. No chirping from birds, no predatory animals roamed, even the tall trees refused to dance to the tunes of solemn winds. Beyond this forest was the one and only glorious abode of The Crimson Prowlers Pack where Green would currently be in. Perhaps this forest and its inhabitants feared her wrath too or perhaps I was simply over thinking. I heaved a sigh. It's been over an hour since I stood at the center doing nothing but thinking. I only had one ace move up my sleeves and if it failed, it could probably be my end. But I wasn't ready to die yet, not in the hands of weaklings of the Prowlers Pack. At the same time I couldn't force a single muscle in my legs to move. I wasn't scared of her but for my ace move. My eyes lowered to the dry leaves roaming beside me and in a strange way, I was reliving the memories of the day before.***************"This," I said as I scanned through the forest with a smile of admiration. "Is the perfect place.""Are you s
As the twin doors closed subtly behind me, I heard the parting roar of thunder in the skies signaling my Mate should have been long gone by now. The spell diminished and instantly, everything reverted back to normal. Damian crashed to the ground, Eren and Vera frowned. Their eyes wavering between Damian who grunted as he arose."What happened right now?" Eren asked as he peered at me suspiciously.I smirked."Something happened here Green. One moment you were about to kill the Lycan and in a glimpse, you're there and now he fell to the floor." He stated sternly. "I know you're fast, but not fast enough to escape my eyes." This time, they all had their gaze on me waiting for me to drop the bombshell. The last thing I would want to do is tell them my mate had visited. Zeus, a man they so much hate, especially the Lycan."You have a shallow knowledge about me, Eren," I finally responded. "I simply spared his life out of my kind heart."Damian growled, his eyes flashing a threatening shad
"The moon goddess must hate you so much to have given you a Vampire as a mate. And not just any regular Vampire, Green."Peter mumbled before gulping down his cup beer at once."Or you mean, The moon goddess loves me very much to have blessed me with her." I chuckled whilst refilling my own glass.He wriggled his head as he poured himself another glass."Green is a curse Zeus.""Goodnight boss!" Simon interjected, waving his hand slightly with his usual happy smile. Realization soon struck me that Peter and I had since been rooted at the bar table, still discussing my day's ordeals."Yeah. Goodnight Simon." I nodded before returning to my friend's stern countenance."She's a blessing. Besides, she's my mate. You should mind the way you talk about her." I responded. He scoffed."How else am I supposed to talk about a monster?" He chirped. "You don't expect me to sweet talk her, do you?"I heaved a sigh and then returned to my drink."I knew this mission was a bad idea from the start." H
"He's here,” said Martha in a depressed tone as she sauntered into my room. I flashed my window a sinister smile while my eyes stared at the birds across. Even though my back faced her, I knew she was worried. Worried about what I might do to my mate. It made me wonder why my best friend suddenly changed. For centuries we've fought wars, killed mates without any iota of feelings. But this time, she was different. Interested in me softening."I know there's a devilish smile on your face but whatever you're going to do," she pursed her lips. "Don't regret it."I turned to her direction, holding her gaze to study what was really running through her mind. In the end, it only seemed to confuse me. There she was, standing proud in her stunning green and black uniform. Her white hair was packed in a ponytail. Her blue eyes reflected my outfit and I couldn't help but admire myself. A dazzling green medieval gown complemented with my necklace and stunning golden brown curls."You know," I state
"Today is the final day for each community to answer Green's request and by the looks of it," Martha paused as she glanced across my commanders."It doesn't seem likely. Hence we have no choice but to proceed with our plans." She continued while she rolled out an old map across the table we stood by."This is the Regent's Coven located in Krixgard. A place basically surrounded with dense forest where the Witches gem lies. We're launching an attack as the morning dawns tomorrow. So I want you all to listen carefully to your respective roles..."I stared at the old piece of paper uninterestedly. I wasn't even sure I was listening to her strategies. My mind trailed back to midnight. The conversation I shared with my Mate.************As I entered into the dungeon my entirety awakened with the familiar tingling sensation. But this time I wasn't restless, I was gradually suppressing my attraction towards him. I walked past the guards solemnly till I arrived at his prison. There he was, bo
"Lord Eren." David, my commander, called as he knocked."Whatever message you have for me, Come back later!" I yelled before returning my glance to the ladies by my side. Trisha and Tara."Okay ladies, where were we?" I whispered while they giggled. Trisha ran her fingers along my hairy chest while Tara briskly locked lips with mine. Our tongues intertwined while Trisha trailed downwards to my crotch."Lord Eren." David called again but I ignored. There was nothing that would make me postpone my fun at the moment."The Lycan and Regent have arrived." I frowned as I turned sharply to the door."Tell them, I'll join them in five." I answered and then briskly alighted from my bed."Are you leaving us?" Trisha whined but I paced to my wardrobe, scaling through for just anything."I'm sorry baby." I muttered in hurry as I dashed to my mirror."It's not fair!" Tara pitched and I couldn't help but turn as I hurriedly wore a fitted black jean."This meeting is very important ladies." It was a
"You're heartless, you know that?" Martha quoted beside me."I know." I smiled. My gaze still fixated at the lake before us. Watching swans paddle across the water while the moon's beams caused the water ripples to appear silver."How do you think Zeus would react when he finds out you're only using him for your means." She asked, her gaze boring holes into me."I don't care." I mumbled. "I promised him he would live in hell, this is just the beginning.""So," she paused. "How were you able to pull it off?"I glanced at her with a cunning smile."It's simple. Zeus loves me and he's willing to have me by his side no matter how long it takes. So I decided to play along, to act like I care about him and then with a little help from Celine, I trapped my mate.""Celine? The Head guard for the Prison?" Her brows arched slightly in a frown."Yes. I asked her to, you know, spill some things about the war while she treated Zeus. Of course in a way that would make Vera and the rest look like the
Birds darted into the skies haphazardly, the sounds of twigs crushing under our soles spread abroad the forest leading to the Oasis Haven Coven. We trotted in hundreds and the grounds responded with gentle tremors. I for one enjoyed the determination, the thirst for blood that drove my army towards Oasis Haven. But there was something else I enjoyed. Zeus, running breathlessly by my side. The both of us were leading the war front and I wouldn't deny, I was surprised. The only person I knew that could keep up with my speed was Eren but Zeus changed that view. He didn't even look like he was trying nor tired. His eyes were blazing with firm determination and focus. They weren't bright nor endearing like they used to. Instead his eyes expressed only one thing. Nothingness. Regardless, I still admired his shiny black uniform tightly fitted against his body. I loved the way his blonde hair danced in synchrony with the winds. And somehow, I craved to see what his Wolf would look like. I di
“If anyone had told me that one day, Green, the mighty queen of the Vampires, who hated men is one day going to be all lovey dovey with a man, I wouldn’t have believed it.” Martha chirped with an obvious chuckle following suit.I blushed. She was holding Nolan in hand while I held Aubrey as we sat together on the couch. Zeus, Peter and Stephen were so focused playing pool at the other side of the living room, one would think they were strategizing for the most dangerous war ever. Men. But they were adorable regardless. Lilith on the other hand, was performing wonders in my kitchen and to be honest, my stomach couldn’t wait to be treated to her dish.“I’m happy for you Green, how far you’ve come.” Martha said.“I don’t think I could have done that without any of you.” I replied and she heaved a light sigh.“Yeah, it’s been a hell of a ride,” we both chuckled.“So how have you been coping as the new Queen?” I asked while she played with Nolan’s fingers.“To be honest, I think I need a b
“What are you reading Mademoiselle?” Zeus peeked at me from his position. We were in the recreation room where the sunrays illuminated the room through the glass wall. He was busy drawing on his board while standing while I busied myself with a book on a red bean bag chair and a glass of red wine.“Historical developments about Dragons. Once I’m done with this one, I’ll move to this,” I pointed to a much slimmer book beside me on the floor.“Why are you reading about Dragons though?”“For our kids, One of them is going to have dragon blood running in their veins. I should at least have knowledge about their kind so I can tell them stories.” I chirped and his mouth formed into an O.“Someone is really working hard to be a storyteller.” He teased me. “Will you read me a bedtime story tonight?”“Get out,”He laughed while I returned to my book.“So what’s the other one about?” He asked while he returned to his drawing.“It’s a book for the best ranges of supernatural schools around, I’m
“We should go to Paris sometime,” Zeus beamed. I stared at him in surprise while he handled the steering.I giggled.“I remember the first time we went there,”“You were so adamant!” We both laughed. “If you could have your way, you would have beaten me to pulp.”“Why did we even go there in the first place? Oh, we were in our mating cycle,” I mumbled while my mind wandered to that day,He laughed.“A lot had happened,”I hummed mischievously.“Like how you lost yourself in between my legs and marked me,” I teased and his eyes gleamed of so much passion and lust. I bet he remembered every detail too. I gently touched his mark on my neck and goodness it gave me so many exciting sparks.“I don’t regret any moment of it,”I laughed.“I don’t either,” I gently placed my hand on his thigh. He stared down at my hand, I could already see the bulge growing in his trousers.“Zeus, Focus.” I cautioned and he laughed.“When you talk about that memory and do this, what do you expect?” He lamented
I could hear someone humming to a song I once knew. Her scent filled my nostrils as she patted my hair gently on her thighs. My eyes slowly opened only to be welcomed by her smile. Her gray eyes and smile were just like I remembered. This was her room and this bed, how much I’ve missed its warmth.“Mother,” I gasped, teary eyed.“Green,” she called in her soft silky voice.“I’m finally home,” I gasped and she wriggled her head.“This is not your home Green.” She mumbled.“This is, mother. This is where I want to be.” I cried. “Life without you was terrible. I hated every moment of it.”She heaved a light sigh while she wiped the tears that lingered on my face.“Are you sure about that?” She asked. “You became the Queen of the Vampires without me, you took the clans to greater height, you made friends, the good ones and the most beautiful part of it all,” she paused as realization dawned on me. “Zeus.”“He hates me.” I whispered. “No love,”“He loves you more than you can imagine. And
With a tiny smile gracing my lips I stared at my parents grave, side by side with each other. For the first time in a while, I enjoyed the morning sun in the Hunter’s abode.“Mom, Dad,” I called. “I finally fulfilled your wish. I hope the both of you can finally rest.” I gently placed daffodils on their graves. The winds gently hushed past me and in a way it gave me a sense of closure. My smile deepened while Simon and Athena came to join me.“You really did it Zeus,” she mumbled. “It feels like a dream that it’s all over.” “Even if this is a dream, I want to be stuck in it.” Simon said.“I didn’t do this alone you know, we did this.” I answered and they smiled. “In most wars that happened over the centuries, the Hunter family had always been involved or the major cause. I guess the world can finally rest without them around.” I exhaled deeply.“So what’s going to happen now?” Athena asked me and I frowned.“You’re the leader of the Hunters family now. It’s your call, Zeus.” Simon add
“I love you and I’ll always do, even in death. I’m sure our children love you too,”I gasped as I awoke abruptly from my blood bath. The rest of my family had awoken too, their eyes glowing red and a devilish smile to crown it all.“I can feel it!” My Grandfather laughed as he brought out his claws. “This power! I feel like a God!” The other joined him, all beaming about their new found powers. One they had gotten at the expense of three lives. My mate and our twins. I stared at the center layer where my mate laid lifelessly. I forgot how to breathe as tears itched my eyes. I wasn’t even sure my heart was beating. My entirety shuddered as I crawled to meet her. Her red eyes had faded of the life that it once used to gleam of. She had a tiny smile on her face and it only broke me. Her words echoed in my head as I held her cold face.“I love you and I’ll always do, even in death. I’m sure our children love you too. Don't worry, I’ll explain your reason for your actions to them. Whether
I stared in despair as the morning sun graced my room and then my eyes darted to the chains on my wrist, attached to the bed even though it was comfy. How did I get here? I asked myself even though I clearly remembered how this mystery unfolded. When Zeus had teleported me, I had landed in a log house, where I met Simon as if he had been waiting for me to arrive all along.“You!” I had said angrily, planning to lurch at him but I became weak instantly. Too weak that I fell on my knees as he scoffed. Was it the effects of teleportation wearing on me? Or was it the slices of apple I ate? Either way, I collapsed and by the time I woke up, I was in the Hunters abode, chained ever since yesterday. I still recalled how his family had laughed and mocked me when they came here. The look of greed and thirst for blood on his Grandfather. At that point, I had realized I was betrayed. I had been fooled all along by my mate, the man I so dearly loved. He had come over last night but all I had for
As the limousine drove into the compound of the Hunters family, I started to relish old memories. Most of them were hateful ones, memories that had clouded the beautiful ones. I alighted slowly from the vehicle once it came to a halt and there it was, the gigantic white castle of The Hunters. I looked up at it with a smile, it was still the same as I remembered. The other limousines drove in too and the rest of my family came to join me except Athena who maintained her distance.“How does it feel to be back home?” My uncle, Adonis, muttered beside me.“Never felt better.” I remarked before sauntering in. When we got to the ridiculously large living room, Simon was already standing in wait for us alongside the maids. Some of their shocked faces I barely remembered but I cared less. I needed to rest after yesterday’s battle. I exchanged knowing gazes with Simon who simply acknowledged Green was here in this castle. I felt a sharp rage in my chest but I shunned it. I was proud of my deci
“I’m not a child you know,” Green chuckled as I fed her a slice of apple.“Well, Lilith did say you shouldn’t stress yourself.” I replied and she smirked.“I can do just fine with an apple,”I curled my right arm around her neck so she could lean on my shoulder as we sat up on the bed with the plates of fruit on my thighs.“Don’t be stubborn,” I hushed and she held my waist tighter.“Your babies are kicking a little more than usual today.” She whispered and I chuckled while I rubbed her belly gently. It always gave me a different kind of joy feeling their gentle pulse. “I have a feeling they might take after my stubbornness.”“Maybe,” I chuckled. “That’s not such a bad thing you know,” She frowned at me.“Since they’re taking your stubbornness, they’re surely taking after your courage, will power, and love,” I added and she smiled. “As for me, surely they’ll take after these irresistible charms of mine.”“You wish,” we both laughed and in this moment I was grateful. For the first time
