We travelled for a day and a half. We were all using isolated routes so that no human could spot us. The paths we were on were very creepy and were hard to transverse. It was mostly forested with dense vegetation and a lonesome atmosphere. The only sound we could hear was the swishing sounds of the leaves our paws were stepping on. It continued on until we made it to a tarred road that led to the forbidden city. That's what Nelson called it. He told me that he had never set foot in it. He also said that humans were forbidden to come close to it either. Ace went on to explain that danger lurked in every corner of that horrid city.Vampires of all ages scavenged in the night looking for prey to sink their itchy fangs on, while drinking a delectable taste of blood, bringing ecstasy and ease to their lifeless veins. I once heard my colleagues saying that vampires had no hearts or the red kind of blood in their bodies. That's why they have cravings and tend to kill without mercy when they
We sneaked stealthily into the huge mansion. We masked our scents as usual and roamed around the endless corridors, searching to see if we could find a room in which he had locked my parents. It was difficult to find, for the mansion had various rooms each either with a mechanism or a few guards standing at the door.The six of us divided ourselves into three groups so that we could be able to cover more ground. Mason and I, took on the left wing of the mansion, and luckily we were fortunate enough that no one spotted us while peeping in different rooms."We are truly going to be doomed once they find us in here," I whispered under my breath not wanting for anyone to hear me. Although us werewolves are vicious by nature, the vampires are also tricky and they are pretty fast compared to us who have to rely on our wolf forms. They have more advantages compared to us. For example, they can go a few days without eating anything. Us werewolves have to each so much food so that we could go
Brian and Mason continued with the fierce fight. They continued to make a mess of everything. I moved away from them in order not to hurt myself and went to stand at one corner as I watched them engage in violence. Mason was kicked away to one corner. My heart ached as I took in his form. He struggled to get up when he saw Brian advancing toward him. I found my legs moving on their own accord as I went to shield him from danger. My eyes closed anticipating the itching and unbearable pain of his black pointy nails digging deep into my flesh. I waited a bit more. When I didn't feel any pain, I opened them with sudden curiosity, I wanted to know what had really happened. My heart dropped the moment I saw him in his human form, I don't even know when or how he had managed to get the clothes and changed into them so quickly. But what made me scared was the way he was clutching on his stomach so forcefully. The white shirt he had put on was drenched in blood. And Brian stood in front of hi
"Charlotte, what happened here?" I hear Clive ask as the other three followed behind him. Brian had long left the room and I don't know what he was planning now.Mason was still ignoring me. He only checked to see if I was hurt and didn't say anything more. No matter how much I tried he still pretended not to hear me. Nelson ran to him and helped him stand. He then looked towards me probably waiting to hear my answer. I shook my hand and followed Mason who was already staggering as he made his way to the door. "Honey, I am sorry. I.." I tried but the person I was saying all those sweet nothings didn't even bother to stop to listen to my apology. I turned to ask Nelson what to do. He is his twin and they spent so much of their years together so I thought he was the best person to ask for some advice. Unfortunately, he shook his hands and hid behind Ace who wasn't happy with the situation. I felt dejected and followed them out of the mansion. We didn't encounter any guards or any pro
Just like we discussed, we returned to Brian's mansion to have a proper talk with him. The servants directed us to the living room where we found him sitting lazily with a wine glass filled to the brim with blood. When he was drinking he would close his eyes to savour the taste.He only opened them when he sensed our arrival."Well well well, who do we have here?" He spoke while placing the glass on a table before facing us. His eyes weren't showing any surprise instead there was a glint of excitement that no matter how hard he tried to hide it, was still too obvious."Come take a seat." He directed us all to the empty seats in the room. His eyes roamed on us one by one until they settled back on me and Mason. His gaze wasn't friendly and it wasn't unkind either."How may I help you Alpha Mason, Luna Charlotte and all of you." The six of us felt nervous because of his lukewarm tone. He was acting so different from the time we met him the previous day."We came for Alpha Hunter and hi
MASON'S POVI watched as the vampire took my mate away from me. No matter how hard I tried to barge from the tight grip on my hands pinned behind my back, I just couldn't free myself. I yelled for him to let her go but to no vain.I looked behind me to see the other guys in the same situation. Ace and Nelson were pinned on the wall while the other two engaged in a fight. Although Clive and Trevor tried to fight of three vampires there were still at a disadvantage. No one could go after them.I hated how weak I was. I regreted to have agreed to bring her here. She has been in danger twice. And now I don"t know where he brought her. I tried tracing her scent and also tried locating her using our mate bond but I still couldn't get in touch.We remained in the living room until one of the vampires came to talk to our captors. They the released us and warned us not to cause any trouble.The first thing I did when I was released I rushed to the door and tried opening it. Hoping with everyt
"Are you hurt anywhere?" I asked my voice filled with concern. I could feel my voice trembling as I gently held onto her delicate shoulders. When I noticed that she wasn't hurt on any part of her body, ample relieve flowed through my veins at a steady pace. I was glad that no one came forward to stop me. Brian just watched us with a creepy smirk on his lips. His team waited for his command. They watched as I helped her settle her mother on her lap."I just knew you would come. And this is what I wanted all along. Now I can freely execute my plan not worrying if any one can come to save youu." I heard him mutter while his eyes focused far in the distance I don't know what he was looking at. I turned my gaze away from him and put all my focus on Charlotte who was still holding on to her mother.I wonder what he had done to them but I also knew that it wasn't the right time to ask. Her three brothers hurried to our side and held on their father who did not utter a single word upon our a
I looked upwards and felt a few drops of rain fall on my face. I turned to see the others using their hands to cover up their faces as the pit pattering sounds of the rain increased by each second. I hurried everyone to hide under the roof covering the entrance. We squeezed in and stood close to one another so that we could warm ourselves. The rain kept on going for about an hour. It was approaching night when it stopped. Clive and Trevor later joined us and the eight of us stood at the entrance of Brian's mansion to see if he would let us in. We waited for thirty minutes and gave up. He didn't even bother sending any of his men after us. I was sure that he noticed that we were at the entrance.After seeing that we had no roof above our heads we decided to make our way out of the city. Trevor looked for a phone and called for a taxi to take us back home. The taxi reached us after an hour and carried us back to Starrymoon pack. We had been away from it for almost a month and the enviro
