"Remember the days when we used to row?"Henry asked in a tone blooming of faint excitement as we walked side by side across the lake. I simply nodded as I stared across the waters reflecting the clouds' evening shade. It was gentle as always, with the ducks paddling peacefully and the air silent and warm. It reminded me of old memories and rather than smile, sadness dawned in me again."We were bad at it compared to Martha..." He continued."She was a monster at it and no matter how we tried, even when we cheated, she remained the best." We both chuckled reminiscing on good old times. Times when we were naive and free of life's ugly fate."I wonder where she is now..." He mumbled with a light sigh following suit and my tiny smile gradually faded. I suddenly lost the interest to walk and rather stare at the ducks paddling."She's happy." I mumbled in a weak tone. "With her mate somewhere.""But you don't seem happy about it." He noted."I don't like that look on your face." He respond
"Zeus..."Her voice sounded faintly."Zeus!" She pitched again. "Zeus! Zeus!!" She screamed in a voice that hid not her pain, I could hear her sobs, I could feel a divine bond between this lady and I. I could recall her smile, those green eyes, those rosy red lips that I could never resist. Yet, it felt like she was a total stranger to me. She felt so close to me yet so far away. Who was this lady? Who was I? And what was this darkness surrounding me?"Zeus!!" She screamed again and my body shuddered to life immediately. Warm breaths escaped my nostrils sharply, my chest heaved in an upward and downward manner, my muscles were constricting and expanding, I could feel slight aches rage across my body and my eyes faintly responded to the bright light gracing the room. Although my vision was still hazy and I still had no memory of myself, something felt awfully familiar about this room."Don't do this to me Zeus!" She cried again and like lightning, my memories came flashing before me. M
"Father..." I called in a whisper, unable to meet my father's gaze as he stood before my fidgety status. Glaring at me with so much contempt."W-why do you dislike us so much?" I asked in a stutter. He huffed and then inched closer to me with a deadly smile."I don't dislike the three of you, my dear." He toned in a sadistic tone that easily sent shivers across my spine. "I hate the three of you with so much passion. Your mother was just a means to an end. As for you and your sister," he lowered on his knee as he held my chin so my eyes met his icy gaze. My breaths ceased instantly."Both of you were a mistake in my life. Even if another child is born into this family, I will despise that child with equal passion." He added before he dropped his grip."B-but..." I gulped down my saliva as tears began to grace my eyes. "But we are your family. What sin have we committed to deserve this level of hatred?""Family?" He scoffed as he arose to his full height. "Know your place, you all are
"Remember, Your target is Green, the ruler of all Vampires." Simon's voice echoed in my head. "Feel free to slay whoever you deem fit but your mission is to bring Green to this household unharmed. Whoever tries to stop you, slaughter them down without hesitation."I exhaled as I finally looked down at Blue Rose Clan from the mountain I stood on, it was the nearest clan to the City of Marr. My ears could pick their chatters, their laughter and all it did was irritate me. My blood boiled with rage, my Wolf thirsted for their blood, my teeth grinded against each other and my palms folded into a fist.A devilish smile crept on my face as I exhaled. I looked up to the darkened sky, the moon bestowing its glorious beam upon this beautiful land about to bathe in blood."Whoever tries to stop you, feel free to slaughter them..." His voice repeated in my head again and my devilish grin deepened, my skin crawled with both excitement and lust. "Feel free to slay whoever you deem fit..."Series o
If anyone had told me that one day, one of my impenetrable clans would get mercilessly destroyed, I would have vehemently denied it. But today was the day I realized that truth and it hurt like hell.I gulped down my saliva as my eyes reviewed the clan, the once beautiful trees were now nothing but burnt pieces of woods, the houses were equally damaged beyond repair. The once relaxing grounds were now painted in blood. Blood of my precious members. The beautiful smiles on their faces were now a story of the past and all I could see amongst these survivors were horror and despair.Tears fought to crawl out but I just couldn't, my chest raged with burning pain and my heart felt like it was dying. Slowly withering but I dared not show this pain, this sadness and guilt. I was their Queen after all, I was supposed to be their ray of hope and not some emotional mess.With every step I took towards Vanessa, my nightmare's kept recurring. Their screams got louder by the second and it only wor
"Lady Green! Please have mercy!!" "She's lost it, run for your dear lives!" "Don't kill us!""Please spare us!!"I giggled as members of Marr ran Helter skelter, screaming like helpless goats for mercy. With each step I took amidst them, my bloodlust only intensified. My powers were beckoning for destruction and I yielded. Indeed, I wanted everywhere Red, I wanted rain of blood falling above me, I wanted to walk in that ocean of blood once again."Kill them!" The dragon artifact bellowed inside me."Destroy them without mercy!" The Witch gem agreed in a sinister tone. "Paint this place red already!!" The Werewolf hide roared."Are you hesitating? Look at your lambs begging for their pathetic lives! Don't you want to see them suffer?! Don't you want to enjoy crushing them?! Don't you want to hear their tears of agony?!!" The Vampire stone's voice sounded most devilish and I began to live hysterically like a crazed being."Yes..." I growled, salivating at the blood coursing through thei
"Where is Celine? I asked the doctor before us immediately my mate, Stephen, and I sauntered in."Thiswayplease."Shecalmlyanswered,walkingusto Celine’sroom.Iclungonto Stephen’s palm trying to allay my fears but he too was just as worried. I wondered how Green would be faring after all these. She was pregnant, still dealing with the death of her mate and now this came. As we walked along the hallway, guards kept running Helter Skelter as if another problem had surged.I exhaled deeply as the twin doors opened for the three of us. And there she was, my heart shattered just seeing her unconscious on her bed with injuries. Her countenance alone showed just how much pain was biting. My palm curled into a fist as I separated from my mate and towards her bedside."Please be careful, she's still in a very critical condition." The doctor toned with a heavy dose of sadness. I tried to retain my tears but they wouldn't stop blurring my vision.We were still mourning our loss at Blue Rose and thi
"Well it looks like you're failing that promise." Martha's words played in my head again. In a strange way, her words kept taunting me. It made me remember that day again. The promise I made. Indeed, she was right. Perhaps if I had intervened earlier, things wouldn't turn out bad like this. Now the Vampire world is in turmoil and Green was nowhere to be found. I heaved a light sigh, dearly hoping both Green and her child were safe.The twin doors finally opened after so many hours. Only to find Martha and Lilith saunter into the room with horrified gazes."We know our enemy." Martha mumbled as she wobbled towards the bar while Lilith returned to her couch mindlessly.I gulped down my saliva, glancing between the two of them at intervals."Zeus is our enemy." Martha mumbled before downing her whiskey recklessly."What?!" I exclaimed, but the others had their jaws dropped, their eyes twitching in fear already."Zeus Hunter is alive. He attacked this Clan, he is the man who almost ended
“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
