"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
In the end, I was deceiving myself. Both of us regretted it or better said, I mostly did. And as usual, she landed me in prison. This time for a week but here I was in my room again, a free man. I wondered why she released me again, probably for us to repeat our love hate cycle. But I wouldn't lie, I sincerely wished there was another way to root myself deep into her heart. More than ever I wanted to see my mother again, perhaps her spirit could guide me through but unfortunately, even the limbo state failed to favor me.I stood before my mirror, admiring the crescent plus half sun mark on my neck. The marks of mates were usually like a faint bite mark but ours was different. Ours was unique even though I didn't know why. Yet Green was still hellbent on making it disappear. I heaved a light sigh as I sauntered out of my bathroom. I reviewed the luxurious room wondering what I should do today. Perhaps a little break from my mate would make these impending worries disappear."Perhaps I s
"Lady Green," said the voice of a lady behind me. "You requested my presence." She said courteously. I held the green Vampire gem towards the small window so it reflected different colors. "Henceforth Celine, you're taking Martha's position as my second in command. And your duties begin now.""As you wish."I turned slightly to the brown haired lady."Go to the major clans under Marr with my elite army now. Tell the Clan leaders I asked them to release hundreds of their worst prisoners." I paused as my gaze returned to the gem."You know what to do next. Kill them. Not even a single prisoner should live. And then I want each Clan Leader to report to me before the sun sets tomorrow. Tell them," I paused again. "In their report, they should say the Lycan attacked them and killed some of their members.""Permit me to ask but why are we putting the blame on the Lycan. He can't even dare to attack any of our clans." I donned a sinister smile."Because I need Zeus more than ever to win this
"Why are you doing this to us Zeus?""Why?" She cried and I just kept staring like an idiot as Luna Isabel and Myra wriggled in their bondage. They were tied to chairs in a cottage, one of my secret hideouts back then."We gave you what you want, why are you hurting us again?" Luna asked and I just remained like a statue unable to find the right answer. I asked myself, why was I indeed doing this. I knew abducting the Lycan's family was wrong but I was doing this for my mate. Even though I didn't know exactly why she was waging war, I still supported her. "Why?" She asked again and my eyes lowered. I relived the whole thing again. How I had gotten here, how I chose this ugly path.************"That's not how you water this one!" I pitched causing Green to stop abruptly. She frowned slightly as she held the pipe before the flower."I've nurtured this garden for centuries so how could I be possibly getting it all wrong?" She grimaced. I inched closer to her with a smirk before retriev
"You took my Family." The Lycan growled with eyes glowering like brimstone fire."And now you dare to wage war against my land, all for an artifact that will never be yours!" He yelled and the birds in the forest flew haphazardly in the air. But I smiled, admiring the little courage beaming in his eyes. I glanced at his Werewolves, they were about four hundred or so. Flashing their golden yellow eyes, ready to lurch at me. But deep in their hearts, they knew they were no match for my elite army of hundred. I took a few steps towards him, closing the meters separating us."All this could have been averted if you had simply given me what I wanted beforehand." I smirked."Not while I'm alive will the Werewolf Hide be yours." He swore and I wriggled my head."So you've decided to lead these weaklings against me. All this innocent blood shed for nothing." I glared at the few my eyes could catch and the only thing I could sense beneath their bravery facade was fear."And do you think this
"Don't do this to me Zeus.""Don't do this to me Zeus!" Her silky voice whispered. Broken and filled with guilt as her palms cusped around my face."Zeus!" She pleaded and for the first time, I could tell how deeply my mate meant these words. For the first time, she was begging for mercy"Zeus!" She pressured again, tapping my lifeless face repeatedly."I love you." She mumbled without hesitation. "I love you Zeus!" She affirmed again, this time leaning against my blood coated shirt as she sobbed."Don't do this to me Zeus..""Don't do this..." My eyes jolted awake immediately. I sat up with my body covered in sweats, my heart thumping faster than usual. I frowned at the bedsheets while the morning rays lit up my room. For a while my mind kept playing that nightmare over and over again. But I had a strong feeling this wasn't a nightmare, this was a vision. I was going to die. Green was going to lose me. I gasped at that thought, I tried to get the negativities out but her voice pitch
"Assuming I didn't come, would you have agreed to Eren?" I asked as I stopped a few meters away from her mansion. She turned to me, unable to find an answer. I exhaled, my breaths visible under the moonlights. As my gaze refused to stay clear of her, I recalled the entire scenery again. How Eren had curled his arm around her waist, how he had almost killed her and she didn't resist. How Impulse had thirsted to kill the Dragon Lord."Yes. It was the only way to get the Dragon stone." She muttered and my palms curled into a fist. Tiny tears began to grace my eyes."Are you that desperate?" I asked in a broken voice. "What about me? What about us? So you were going to marry that bastard all for a useless artifact!""That artifact is more important than you. And thanks to you, I've lost my chance to get it." She retorted with a glare and my pain only worsened."As far as I'm concerned, there was no us from the beginning. I hated you and I still do. I never wanted you but you kept on enfor
“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
