"I never got to say this before, but this Clan is one of the most beautiful places in the world." I said as we walked on the tarred road leading to the mansion. My smile beamed at the birds that flew from one tree to another. In the west were basically the majority of Marr's wildlife. The east was for the beautiful rivers and valleys. The North and South were designated for the residential areas and surprisingly, none of them were hostile to me. Instead, they were happy. Each of them was engulfed in their preparation for a festival I knew not. I had expected this clan to be full of blood thirsty and sadistic Vampires but I was proven wrong."It's such a shame people fear this place and its people so much." I commented in oblivion."Well you can't blame them, When you have someone like Green as a ruler it's bound to happen." She smiled. "Every day here is beautiful and trust me, the nights are even more.""I've been missing so much then!" I said with a chuckle alongside."Well, tomorro
"Henry!" I exclaimed as I opened my door only to be greeted by the face of my crush."Green!" He chirped with a sweet smile accompanying his face. His black irises gleamed of joy and his black hair were neatly styled as usual."I was walking along a garden and I found this." He pursed his lips as he revealed the Rose he hid behind his back."A beautiful rose for a beautiful lady." He added in a sweet tone. I bit my lower lip excitedly as my hand reached for it but then my father instantly appeared behind my back."And Who are you?" My Father's hoarse voice protruded behind me. I went stiff and the smile that once birthed on my face vanished. Fear replaced the joy that bloomed within me and my fingers trembled."Commander, I came to see your daugh--""For what?" My father cut him off abruptly while Henry's smile gradually faded. "To take her places? To visit your favorite spot? Or," he inched closer with predatory eyes fixated at my crush who almost melted from his gaze. "To fuck her."
I stared at the fireworks beautifully decorating the night skies. The winds were gentle, and the atmosphere filled with excited people and their laughter. The children busied themselves at the amusement park set up while the adults were busy engaging in one activity or the other. But here I was, unable to smile, unable to be happy. I just stood by an open bar watching my people enjoy this day to the fullest. But I still felt incomplete. Whether I liked it or not, Zeus' absence made me this way. "Miss me already?" He sounded beside me. I frowned and sharply turned to my right only to find nothing but the bar. I gulped down my saliva as Martha approached me with a stern expression in place."Hey." She said but I couldn't even find the proper words to say. Normally, on a day like this, both of us would have gotten ourselves drunk, dancing like crazy tourists. But this time, our tension made us act like strangers."It's time for your speech." She calmly stated as she gestured towards the
"I shouldn't have kissed you." I grumbled as I clutched to my pillow. Squeezing it as my head entertained only one thought. Last night. The taste of her lips, it's softness. The bright green shade of her eyes."I shouldn't have kissed you Green." I growled again, trying as much to suppress Impulse's control over me. My temperature burned as if it were on fire, my heart racing and my crotch refusing to soften. I was craving her, more than ever. I rolled over to the other side of the bed back and forth, gritting my teeth as I kept picturing several moments with Green. Impulse on the other hand was overwhelmingly violent, wanting to take full control over me but I continued fighting against him. Letting him out was like freeing a monster from its shackles. I alighted from the bed with my crotch poking through my joggers. My gaze darted to the bathroom but I shun those thoughts off. I'd already jerked off a couple times ever since the morning dawned and it didn't help. I walked around my
"Stop staring at the ladies." I said, unable to control my jealousy anymore. Although I was enjoying the beautiful buildings we walked past, I couldn't pretend that I didn't see my mate, staring at the ladies walking past."I'm not allowed to stare at the ladies nor am I allowed to admire you, so what should I do then?" He chuckled but I maintained my straight face."I don't know, look at the skies maybe." I retorted."It's not like I'm complaining about the guys gawking at you too though." He mumbled but I could pick the jealousy hinting in his tone. I shot him a brief smile."That's what you get when you have a lady like me as your mate.""It's not like you're that pretty though." He teased and I glared. He laughed and all I could do was secretly admire his laughter. The joy blooming in his eyes. I quickly shook those thoughts off and walked away from him briskly."That's what you get for punishing me." He teased again as he joined my side again. I rolled my eyes but deep down I want
Peace. For the very first time in six hundred years I was able to sleep without any nightmares. My eyes faintly awoke to the morning rays and Zeus's warmth emanating from his chest. There he was sleeping peacefully. I still felt his arm around my waist, our legs intertwined beneath the bed sheets, our chests against each other and of course, the momentary tingling sensation. I pulled away from his embrace, giving me space to properly review his room. Apart from his drawings, there was nothing much. Just a wardrobe and a desk close to the windows. I wondered what kind of life he lived here before meeting me. My mind wandered to his family, they weren't perfect like mine, probably worse. I stared at his handsome face again as a question sprung up in my head. Didn't a part of him wish to kill them? After all, they killed his parents. Perhaps they were too powerful for him. I heaved a light sigh, and then reminisced on last night again."Mark me." A voice pitched in my head. My eyes excl
"Green!""Green!" Martha pitched behind me as I stormed into my room."Martha leave!" I ordered, turning sharply in her direction."My goodness!" Her mouth went agape. "You've been marked. He marked you." She mumbled and in a strange way my anger subsided. I sat on the edge of my bed and she joined me too."Call Lilith.""For what?""To help remove this pathetic mark of course." I blurted."Lilith already has too much on her hands to handle as the new Regent. Calling her here is only going to be a burden."So I should be roaming about with this mark huh." I toned harshly and she heaved a sigh."Yesterday was our heat period." I started on a solemn note, my mind gradually reliving the whole incident again."We went out, had some little chit chat, met his friends and then," I paused, trying to muster enough strength."We lost control, and we had sex." I paused again. "I asked him to mark me and now I'm regretting it. Because of my lust, I lost my senses and made this rash decision."I si
"You're seriously going to do this." Martha voiced while my shackles sounded as I pounded leaves in a small mortal."I don't have a say in this Martha." I replied."But you have a choice, Zeus." She insisted.I paused in my work."If I don't make this potion, Green won't rest and she might do something drastic." I explained even though every part of my body hated the nonsense I was sputtering out."So it's better this way." I continued pounding."And you're fine with this?" She queried as she sat on the floor opposite me. "For how long are you going to keep yielding to her?"My teeth gritted for a while and my body stiffened."I'm not fine with it but I'm hoping one day she'll realize something." I said whilst my mind was busy playing my mate's heart wrenching words."Zeus, if you don't take charge at one point or the other, Green will keep on repeating her love hate cycle for you."I sighed."That's the thing, Green doesn't like to be taken charge of. She likes to be in control and yo
“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
