The stranger taps upon my shoulder, I almost didn't feel his touch on my skin because of his delicate movement. Anyway, I turn around in haste to meet the Prince Charming.Jesus.Why are men around this area and species so hot-blooded and robust with charm, makutu while looking dashing as literal princes? I'll get a nose-bleed at this point.Suddenly, there's a blast of music which doesn't match the atmosphere of pleasantries and calm. The music was so Lucien."May I have a dance with you, beautiful one?" The man in sparkling midnight blue blazer with his equally sparkling blue eyes asks me. It felt like a fever dream to me.A handsome man who appears to be a royal of this castle asks me to dance with him.But what about my prince charming?When I look at Lucien, he is smiling eloquently at several women who are surrounding him. On the list was also the red chilli there, swinging her hips excessively and without control as if she had a disorder. Rolling my eyes, I turn back to the man
His eyes widen and a certain emotion is expressed by his facade. He must be impressed by my definition of love. Crudely, he places the fork down with the food still at its edge with a clink against the rich ceramic plate as he begins clapping a bit embarrassingly."What are you doing!?" I hiss, because I didn't want to attract any good or bad eyes while I'm eating. He pats my hand softly and says, "I'm truly impressed! But I've also got to tell you." His expression falls on a lower spectrum of happiness."That's a bit superficial." He says. And here I was thinking I gave the most realistic definition for love. I shake my head and take a bite while saying, "I can't be any real-er than that.""Well, if you want your love to win against these competitors, you have to get the real definition of love.""Um... tell me then. I'm a layman." His charming smile is brought upto his face again. He leans back on his seat, eyes slowly closing as if he has no care in this world. "That's not somethi
Author's POV The vampire hunting academy situated not very far from the Werewolf King's palace has it's chief pacing back and forth of the cabin. He was anxious about this mission, to shoot a shot so close and carrying out the demise of a King to a whole different species just so their species shall thrive.He was upset at himself. Why did the leader of the Vampire society ask for King Lucien? What was in it for them?The answer went unexplained."Sir, we have an incoming signal." His loyal and age-old assistant walks in with the sensor as he quickly wears it to his finger and feels the vibrations. "She said hello. Please confirm it." The assistant tells him as he does so. The conversation goes on, but when she doesn't respond to him suddenly, his body goes cold. He was already risking the best candidate's life and risking his entire race of humanity for when the King knows about it... he will kill everyone who exists."Wha- what happened?" Concern plants a seed in him as he turns
I was wrong.The jets had pilots and they managed to escape while missiles were locked and loaded at them but...a few guards of Lucien have captured the two pilots who ejected from the top of the Ranger Jets before perpetual damage could occur.I run down the hallways with the guards assigned for me as they yell at me to stop. I wonder why can't they shift into werewolves and stop me in a second. Why do they lack that kind of intelligence?I can't deal with this anymore. The moment I saw those two pilots being dragged with chains around them like dogs, I felt my very core begin to shake. He will kill them. Mercilessly even."Lucien! Lucien, stop!" I see Lucien hastily walking towards those men who shiver upon the burning stature of the male walking towards them. Human or not, Lucien possessed that beastly aura around him which could make everyone cower like slaves in front of him. I run towards the male in a meek attempt at stopping him from harming anymore people of mine, but Gorius
I don't know where to begin. His lust filled eyes stared at me while I was a mess with the specks of liquor that falls on my pajamas. The disgusting smell of his breath intoxicated with alcohol makes my head turn away on its own, until he forces me back to look into his devious eyes."Why do you do this? You have a choice.""I don't have a choice." He seethes unnecessarily in anger at me. Pushing his hand away, making some of the overflowing liquid from his hand fall back on my dress, I move several feet away from him in the confined space of the balcony. As if the things aren't smaller enough, he corners me straight into the wall and I couldn't find myself out from this situation."I don't have a choice. Because I am genetically modified to be a killing machine." He says, baffling me out of my mind."What?" I don't believe him and ask him with vigor, making an irritated face because if his drunkenness is making him blabber unbelievable things, then I'd slap him and satisfy myself whi
If smelling the air for emotions was a thing, then I was definitely experiencing jealousy around me. Expelling air out of my lungs, my body turns away to give space to the first one of the triad for the second round. Gorius shouts the same directions for archery.Three sets later, I hail with my personal score of 7, 8, 8. Not bad for a beginner.Jasmine comes to hug my hand as I pat her back affectionately and say everything that she needed to hear from me. All the praises and goodies for the ear. The man behind us approaches to where we were gathered. Women move away when he scrutinized their exposed attires and attractive make up. He sighs, but I can clearly see him distracted while he walks so slowly towards us.My hands crossed, the swarm of women surround the King and at the epicenter of this hurricane was us three. I felt uncomfortable, clearly."Nice aim. Won't you shoot one straight through my heart, sweetie?" His guts...To flirt with me in front of the public made me forget
My eyes widen gradually. A Phoenix, he said. His hand caressing my back gives me goosebumps all over. I didn't know how my body reacts to his physical touch when my mind was absent from the scenario. I gulp a huge amount of my saliva and stare into his eyes.Maybe I hold answers unknown to people. That Phoenix... might be my mother. Yes.I was told, or rather self discovered the fact that I was a cursed offspring between the love of an ordinary man and an extraordinary Phoenix species. I didn't know much about their love story, but it prevailed just until I turned nine and then everything went downhill.Love is a bond between two people that is expected to last forever. But my parents believed that even a spark of a moment is love. And that spark existed only for a decade before they separated ways and left me with an untold secret. That I had a recessive Phoenix blood flowing inside me.Alas.But what was the wish the 'Phoenix' asked to this witch? I was mightily curious. "I don't
Throwing on a very royal dress in the most haphazard way, I run down the hallways with the gown all crumpled in my fists. I reach the court hall. It was filled with maidens of all caste and creed and mostly werewolves. At the top for he throne was King Lucien who orders us to close up the doors.I look behind myself and see the women who were late were being taken away and not allowed inside the hall. Was it that he was waiting for me and closed the door immediately after? Seems so.Coming back to the scenario, the sirens who look hideous as ever in their original forms, they take over the space in front of the King while giving some space in between so he is seen. I keep staring at Lucien. Why doesn't he ever wake me up? Freeing myself of his magnetic presence, I start paying attention to the men who are in front of me, about to speak. "As we all are aware," Wow, they have a really good throw in their voice, "We Sirens are here at your palace for the annual fest that needs security
Varca was brave enough to think he could stand up to Kohl and Lucien. He was confused when he was overpowered by the strongest male duo that ever walked on Earth. He stood up again, his body made a dent in a low hill after Kohl kicked him into it. His battle spirit was slowly fading, and he looked down at the giant hole in his chest. He was bleeding from his mouth and bleeding from his chest. His heart had gone missing. And when everything looked like a blissful win for the werewolf-man duo, Varca clicked his fingers, and an abnormal amount of smoke just spread through, all around the shore of Bepal. The ships were spreading it. They were crushing a bunch of neurotoxin which the vampires are immune to. They were a blend of...wolfsbane. Kohl realised his dirty plan when he saw the humans falling to their knees, sucked out to the last drop by vampires. He growled at Varca, charging at him with a stake of a broken roof in his hand. "ARGH!" Varca cried, coughing out blood. "You w
[2 days ago, South Bepal shore]The shore was quiet and the sea smelled great. The shore bred warmth from the coastline it touched, the south side was especially warm during afternoons. A fisherman's boy from the shoreline village was playing with his red male doll. It looked like the Fritz, twelve inches in height and almost too realistic like a baby. As he sunk the toy in the clear, wavy water I've the shore's receding wave, he felt the joy of drowning his doll. His intention was to make it swim on its own. However, there came the shore hitting wave again. But it was dyed like the color of hell.He noticed the red ink like fluid spread with the water. He didn’t realise. After all, he was just a kid. His he's turned to the other side slowly. Beyond his little boat anchored to safety was a hovering troop of red eyed monsters.He knew right away about their species. He yelled,"B-BLOODSUCKERS!!" Varca's vast fleet stationed around the coast. His giant ship's shadow grew on the s
Raya watched the young lady descend on the palace terrace softly. Her wings followed her mind and remained attached to her back. Raya smiled at the young lady who skipped towards her like an enthusiastic child. "How was the view from up there?" Asked Raya."It was awesome!" She answered simply. Eden embraced Raya's side as she asked the man to let her go, just for a while."I gotta talk to Laura about something. Give me a minute." Whispering to him, she places a kiss on his cheek when he nods his head. She leaves his embrace to fetch Laura, to talk to her."Um, hey. You got a minute for me? I know you're busy, but it's kind of important." Laura and Kathleen turned towards Raya who gently asked her. Kathleen pushed her chin towards Raya, looking at Laura as the Phoenix got the green signal."I'll be right back!" Said Laura to Tony who wanted to cling to her while the ceremony started."What do you wanna talk about?" Laura asked with a soft smile,"Um, before that, could you keep the c
Eden and Raya were sincerely missing out on everything good that was happening around the palace and the Siren Kingdom. They've deliberately avoided everyone after an hour of lovemaking.But, no matter how much they've washed each other and relieved from the scent of sex, Laura and Tony could sniff out everything within a second. Tony looked at Laura with a knowing gaze, his face all scrunched up in disgust while Laura tried not to laugh at him. They watched Eden come first, trying to hug Laura and Raya nonchalantly walk behind him. Their combination was lethal in Laura's eyes.One was a golden retriever puppy and the other was a great old sea serpent who was half as wise as Eden. She is an old soul after all, she knew nothing about the modern age and how invaluable having sex is considered in the recent times. "Um, you two smell funny." Tony said frankly, without thinking twice about the situation. Kathleen was right behind them as she checked out sea jewelry from a cute Siren maid
Days passed by.Raya could never have felt this peaceful amongst the most chaotic trio she's ever seen. They're always breaking something or the other. They're clumsy and childish.But all three separately were more mature and understanding that most ripe humans. At present, Raya watched Laura bring a baby siren close into her arms and whisper sweet nothings to the upset baby. It seems as though the baby had an indigestion problem, and as soon as Laura let a drop of her tear seep into the baby's smooth blue skin, it stopped crying almost instantly. Laura's wings furled inwards as she provided the needed warmth to the Siren baby."Magical, isn't it?" Kathleen said from behind Raya. The woman who was leaning against the huge door frame of the palace entrance stood straight in her presence. Out of respect. "Yes, indeed. She's a healer. She was born for this." Raya said in a soft voice in admiration. Her gaze turned towards the two boys who gave company to the rest of siren children pla
The door barged open as the sirens spilled inside. Raya flinched and looked behind herself."W-we heard someone falling to the floor, your highness! Is everything alright!? Are you alright?" Eden chuckled at the cute teenager sirens who barged in to 'check' on their deity. They find a single, non exclusive excuse to rush into the room, hoping to see their Sea Serpent diety just once. It looked like a terrible, annoying trick to Raya. Alas, she was too tired to even react to them."Nothing is wrong, you all. Have you ever heard of privacy?" Eden asked the teenagers amusingly. "What is that?"Raya stared at them with a blank expression. Were they pretending to be clueless or were they really unfamiliar with such terms?Eitherway, Eden limps towards them and closes the door behind himself."Do you want to rest beside me?" He was shy, scratching his head and shuffling his feet as he asked.'Not so cocky now, I see.' Raya thought in her mind. Without another word said, she crawls up int
Laura and Kathleen kept the sleeping man company. They sat beside him, Laura held his hand and prayed that his body would heal quickly. Even if she induced his system with her powers of healing, his body wouldn't be able to take the rapid change which would complicate his wellbeing even more.As said by many; time is the best healer of all wounds.However, that phrase never seemed to work on Laura for the past two years. Time changed nothing for her. Her emotions were the same as she had them two years back.Thinking about it made her sick, because all she could do was think about it. Her mind couldn't take any woven shit from her anymore, so she decides by herself to walk out of her thinking lane into a new one.A brighter one.Tony was kept company with the other sirens of his age. He was still a humanoid boy, thanks to Laura's transmatter powers that he was still a cute little seventeen year old boy.Eden had his eyes closed.For a brief while, he could feel the air shift around hi
Eden's attempt to warn the sirens was proving futile. He wasn't able to warn them that a snake like creature that brought him to the shore, swimming around the world for hours, was sinking to the bottom of the ocean.He couldn't express in words that he was an escapee, and the one who helped him reach the kingdom was from the other herd of enemies.Laura followed the troop of Sirens who began running towards the said shore. She had her gigantic wings take her towards the rocky shore. In a brief memory of how she had been crying over and over again over a person the night before, she couldn't believe her eyes when she saw the person's cousin in the scene.She gasped, making other sirens aware of the threat.Spears made of thick seashells were pointed towards him. Laura landed right behind him, and the male turned around with his wavy, wet and black hair flowing with his movements. "Laura! It's...it's a Basilisk. I'll tell you everything but she's sinking! She helped me travel across t
"A centaur? I thought they were sacred species. Aren't there like 200 of them left?""True. A centaur brings immense power and luck and somehow, you don't seem to know about Centaurs." "No wonder you're so lucky in escaping us all." Eden chuckled at Raya. "Of course. Our baby centaur is kind hearted too. And he eats nothing but carrots. And the horse that you saw me with at the cliff...that's Roy. He's my best buddy. I could speak to him about quite literally anything." Raya jumped her eyebrows at Eden's words."I can't believe werewolves at all. You guys are the worst examples of half human and half animal." Eden laughed heartily. The ice cream tub was finished by the time they finished gossiping as well. Raya was getting way too attached to this stranger. His presence was making her feel super comfortable, as in giving her peace and tranquility against all that happened before. "Well, I have something for you." Said Raya.She unfurled a trinket, something like a locket in model
