"Where is Celine? I asked the doctor before us immediately my mate, Stephen, and I sauntered in."Thiswayplease."Shecalmlyanswered,walkingusto Celineโsroom.Iclungonto Stephenโs 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
"It's been a month now and the situation is only getting worse." I said as I trailed alongside Martha to the mansion.Martha sighed."We're completely clueless who the enemy is. Celine says Zeus is alive and on the other hand, Peter and the others confirmed Zeus is dead."I heaved a sigh too, reviewing our surroundings. The once cheerful environment was now silent almost as a graveyard. Guards were now patrolling non stop, members spent most of their time indoors. Fear was the new rhythm beating in every heart."Last night, another Clan was attacked." Martha's voice tousled my thoughts. "I also received reports another Pack was attacked too." I replied."Very soon, Packs would soon start clashing over who would be the new Lycan with Damian who has gone missing." She sighed again. "I wonder if Green killed him off.""Most likely." I remarked."The Lycan, Dragon Lord, The Vampire Queen. Three community leaders are now missing. You're the only one left. You know what that means right?" S
"Welcome to Maddisonโs lodge.โ A fair young lady happily greeted me as I stepped into the fancy bar. I nodded before proceeding to the bar table where Eren, the dragon lord was seated."Took you long enough. Henry." Eren quoted in a stern note. I scoffed. "Whiskey please." I ordered while the bartender nodded in response."Shaking Martha and the rest off my tail hasn't been easy. Besides, it would have been easier if we met somewhere rather than this fancy bar all the time."I responded but he smiled before taking a gentle sip of his whiskey."Everyone thinks I'm hiding in the shadows planning something dangerous for our dear Queen." The Dragon Lord toned sarcastically. "Little do they know, I've just been busy enjoying myself in the human world.""Indeed." I smiled in accordance as the bartender placed my drink before me. "The Human World is quite a beautiful place.""And you, I hear you've been playing love games with Green." He said whilst watching me from the corner of his eyes.I
"You vile woman!" My Father bellowed with so much hatred and disgust ruling his tone. His eyes glowered like brimstone fire as he towered rigidly before me like a god."You think you can run away from who you are?" He queried. "You were born a monster, Green! You're a Monster my dear child..." He gripped my arm with an iron hand almost crushing my cowering bones. I whimpered trying to break free but I failed miserably. "Running away won't save you, you don't deserve love, you don't deserve this child. No matter what you do, you can never change. You were born to destroy, to cause pain and spread fear, you're a parasite to peace, to joy, to every good feeling that dares to exist because why!..." He inched closer to me with a devilish smile while my gaze widened in horror. I couldn't find my breaths let alone control the dangerous beat my heart took."This is your destiny Green. You can't run away from it, you vile woman!""No!..." I whispered, wriggling my head slightly. "No!..." My to
โGo for a scrutiny check all over the mansion again, I want to be hundred percent sure that the mansion is safe for our lady!โ I blared.โAs you command, Head guard!โ The guards bowed their heads courteously before exiting the ballroom sharply leaving only me. I looked around just to be sure that no one was lurking around and when the coast was clear, a sinister smile crept to my face. After I had attacked the mansion the last time, I decided against killing Celine but that was just the beginning of my plan. My smile deepened as I brought out dozens of small black beads which had archaic spells encrypted on them. I casually dropped each piece as I circled around the corners of the room. If I was going to abduct Green, facing them head on would be asking for death. Rather, blending in was the perfect option. Which was what I opted for after killing the head guard and changing my aura and body to hers. Even the almighty Lilith couldnโt notice. I headed to the Center of the room and then
โZeus had all of us right from the very beginning. We got played big time,โ Henryโs voice broke the tensioned silence between us. We were all seated in the living room, breathing through the disastrous nights in our own way. Lilith was at the bar side, drinking beer recklessly alongside Peter. Simon and Henry were at the opposite couches my mate and I seated on. They were angry no doubt but neither of them was probably as vengeful as I wasright now. My injuries stung and I could still feel the effects of the poison, Iโm pretty sure it was the same for the others.โWhatโs the way forward now? We canโt just sit and let Zeus do goodness knows what to Green.โ He added.โOf course, even if itโs going to cost my life, weโre going to save Green from that monster. Iโm not losing her!โ My teeth gritted while Stephen patted my back gently but it only soothed a bit.โHe used a teleportation spell, thereโs no way we can locate him.โ Henry remarked.โLilith, how about the location spell you used
โGreen!!โ I tapped her face repeatedly but she wasnโt responding. I could feel it, I was losing her! Tears started to soak my eyes as my hands began trembling.โGreen, I love you! Iโm sorry!โโWhat happened to her?!โ An overly voice pitched, I stared in the direction of the door and there they were. Lilith and Peter. Before I could even react, Lilith quickly blew powder towards me.โWhaโโ I almost said before I collapsed.My eyes faintly awoke to a small empty room, my vision was still hazy and my senses were barely active but I soon realized that I was chained to a chair with silver chains that slightly burnt my skin. I fought to break free but my muscles were still suffering from the effects of the powder.โGreen!โ I gasped. โLet me out!!โ I barked, struggling harder. The wooden door slowly opened and Peter sauntered in, I exhaled deeply trying to understand why he was so alert with me like I was a monster.โYou did this?โ I almost growled and he sighed. โLet me out, Green is in dan
โIf 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 wouldnโt have believed it.โ 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 couldnโt wait to be treated to her dish.โIโm happy for you Green, how far youโve come.โ Martha said.โI donโt think I could have done that without any of you.โ I replied and she heaved a light sigh.โYeah, itโs been a hell of a ride,โ we both chuckled.โSo how have you been coping as the new Queen?โ I asked while she played with Nolanโs fingers.โTo be honest, I think I need a b
โWhat are you reading Mademoiselle?โ 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.โHistorical developments about Dragons. Once Iโm done with this one, Iโll move to this,โ I pointed to a much slimmer book beside me on the floor.โWhy are you reading about Dragons though?โโFor 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.โ I chirped and his mouth formed into an O.โSomeone is really working hard to be a storyteller.โ He teased me. โWill you read me a bedtime story tonight?โโGet out,โHe laughed while I returned to my book.โSo whatโs the other one about?โ He asked while he returned to his drawing.โItโs a book for the best ranges of supernatural schools around, Iโm
โWe should go to Paris sometime,โ Zeus beamed. I stared at him in surprise while he handled the steering.I giggled.โI remember the first time we went there,โโYou were so adamant!โ We both laughed. โIf you could have your way, you would have beaten me to pulp.โโWhy did we even go there in the first place? Oh, we were in our mating cycle,โ I mumbled while my mind wandered to that day,He laughed.โA lot had happened,โI hummed mischievously.โLike how you lost yourself in between my legs and marked me,โ 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.โI donโt regret any moment of it,โI laughed.โI donโt either,โ I gently placed my hand on his thigh. He stared down at my hand, I could already see the bulge growing in his trousers.โZeus, Focus.โ I cautioned and he laughed.โWhen you talk about that memory and do this, what do you expect?โ 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 Iโve missed its warmth.โMother,โ I gasped, teary eyed.โGreen,โ she called in her soft silky voice.โIโm finally home,โ I gasped and she wriggled her head.โThis is not your home Green.โ She mumbled.โThis is, mother. This is where I want to be.โ I cried. โLife without you was terrible. I hated every moment of it.โShe heaved a light sigh while she wiped the tears that lingered on my face.โAre you sure about that?โ She asked. โYou 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,โ she paused as realization dawned on me. โZeus.โโHe hates me.โ I whispered. โNo love,โโHe 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 Hunterโs abode.โMom, Dad,โ I called. โI finally fulfilled your wish. I hope the both of you can finally rest.โ 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.โYou really did it Zeus,โ she mumbled. โIt feels like a dream that itโs all over.โ โEven if this is a dream, I want to be stuck in it.โ Simon said.โI didnโt do this alone you know, we did this.โ I answered and they smiled. โIn 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.โ I exhaled deeply.โSo whatโs going to happen now?โ Athena asked me and I frowned.โYouโre the leader of the Hunters family now. Itโs your call, Zeus.โ Simon add
โI love you and Iโll always do, even in death. Iโm sure our children love you too,โI 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.โI can feel it!โ My Grandfather laughed as he brought out his claws. โThis power! I feel like a God!โ 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 wasnโt 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.โI love you and Iโll always do, even in death. Iโm sure our children love you too. Don't worry, Iโll 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.โYou!โ 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.โHow does it feel to be back home?โ My uncle, Adonis, muttered beside me.โNever felt better.โ 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 yesterdayโs 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
โIโm not a child you know,โ Green chuckled as I fed her a slice of apple.โWell, Lilith did say you shouldnโt stress yourself.โ I replied and she smirked.โI can do just fine with an apple,โI 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.โDonโt be stubborn,โ I hushed and she held my waist tighter.โYour babies are kicking a little more than usual today.โ She whispered and I chuckled while I rubbed her belly gently. It always gave me a different kind of joy feeling their gentle pulse. โI have a feeling they might take after my stubbornness.โโMaybe,โ I chuckled. โThatโs not such a bad thing you know,โ She frowned at me.โSince theyโre taking your stubbornness, theyโre surely taking after your courage, will power, and love,โ I added and she smiled. โAs for me, surely theyโll take after these irresistible charms of mine.โโYou wish,โ we both laughed and in this moment I was grateful. For the first time
