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
After the honeymoon of our daughter and Adam, the vampire lord who chose to leave everything behind and chase after his love, ended, the two returned home to see everyone. A party was thrown in favor of their union. Everyone was present there, Adam even invited some of his vampire friends. The two parties bonded well. No one could see any slightest enmity between the vampires and the werewolves. We were one happy family. No one treated anyone differently. We ate together and also drank together. Rebecca later came with her husband, Nelson and Ace didn't go back after the wedding they stayed behind and kept us company. They were very close as usual. Ryder, Damien, Jasper, and Blake had a good time playing together. They spent almost every night drinking and partying at one corner of the pack.Saya and Clive also came to the wedding however they left after it was done and returned for the party. Same with Trevor and his chosen mate. It was merry all around and people couldn't sit still
"Ok. I let it go. Only this time. But if you make her cry even for a little bit. I will definitely come after you." I breathed out a sigh of relief and thanked him with a happy smile on my face. My brothers were happy for me as well. We had a family meal and then they gave us some time to talk to each other. We were allowed to go to my room, Adam looked around just like me when I visited his house. He complimented my room and took me in his arms and hugged me tightly as if we had separated for a long time.I was reminded of that dream and also held him tight just the same. "I love you so much." He confessed making my heart melt. I thought back to all the times I wished for someone to say this to me. Now that the time has come it seems so surreal. I just can't believe it. It's like a dream come true. "I love you too," I spoke of the words that I have just realized after meeting this man. He made me believe. He made me say it to him without holding back. I truly meant this. I don't know
After breaking the kiss, our eyes were locked on each other, the scarlet colour and oceanic greenish coulor reflecting in each other. I watched as he licked his lips, his pink tongue with a tich of red colour. "Wow. I can't wait to have the main with." He spoke while bringing his other hand to put my hair back in order. He arranged some behind my ear and gave me a perk on the lips and another one on my cheek. "I made the right choice waiting for you sweetheart. I can't imagine losing you to those vile creatures. I am the luckiest person in the whole world." I felt my cheeks hit up. This wasn't enough but it would be too fast to get into it right away. I leaned into his arms and rested my head on his shoulder. I took in his refreshing fragrance as if I was standing in the middle of a field full of blooming flowers. It was too exquisite and good to take in. Adam also rested his head on the nook of my neck, his nose was sniffing there, hot air brushing there, making the sensitive skin ti
After locking myself in the room, I lay on the bed looking far up at the ceiling above thinking of ways that could convince him to have a proper talk with me. I wasn't going to give up on him. I listened in from the wall just beside my head but I couldn't hear anything from the other side. I guess he was really sleeping. I ended up sleeping as well, hoping to talk to him early in the morning before he gets a chance to run away from me. As planned I woke up at about four O'clock in the morning and cleaned up before waiting for him in front of his room. I only waited for less than an hour before he opened the door after freshening up. His hair was still dripping wet and he had tied it on one side letting it flow on the shoulder as some fell on the front of his chest. He still wore his mask, probably in an attempt to continue hiding his face from me. He stilled the moment he saw me standing at his door, with a grin on my face. I hurried to put my hand on the door frame, stopping him from
Two days passed after that miserable encounter. And I haven't felt like I am being myself at all. My life has turned normal. It is now that I realize that normal is a boring word. My mind keeps on going back to those words he spoke upon our separation. I feel somewhat guilty for pushing him like that. Even though I didn't see his expression, I could actually guess how he looked. If we meet again, I will definitely say sorry to him. That is if I even recognize him. He had worn a mask all the while I spent at his home. He didn't even let out a clue that led to his name or anything. I don't even know what he really is. These days I have been listless because of this matter. My family noticed but there is nothing they could do about it. I never tell them what is wrong with me. I am going to school today, hopefully, by seeing Will I will be able to cheer up again. I was driven to school by Steve. He dropped me off in front of the school gate. I had texted Will telling him that I will be a
"Hmm... you can't believe me? Well, I knew it would be like this. That is the reason I made sure to prepare beforehand." I watched him summon one of his people who came with an envelope which she handed over to the strange man. The girl didn't even look at me. So I didn't really get to see her appearance only that she was wearing black and also that her skin was too pale for my liking. And as usual, I couldn't decipher her own species. I moved my gaze away from her and settled them on the envelope in his hand. I wanted to see what was sealed inside it. He ripped the seal off and then took a few pictures out and handed them over to me without even looking at them. It was as if he had looked at them countless times. I accepted them and started looking at them one by one, my breath hitching when I realized what these pictures were. I wonder who had taken them. During those days I never sensed anyone following me. No, maybe I didn't even look to sense anything. These were the pictures of
A part of me was excited, my blood ran around my veins some rushing to my head. I could vividly picture his face in my imagination. I wished to turn around and see his face. Another part of me was very scared. I knew that this man was very dangerous. And also that he was here for my life. If not why then would he waste his time watching my every move each and every day? "No, I guess you are not that scared. Then are you... Perhaps happy to see me?" He asked, his figure appearing right in front of me. He was too close, I could actually see his pale white skin that he poorly hid behind the mask. I didn't get to glimpse into much detail because he had already taken a step back. My brain had not registered the last sentence he had spoken. I then recalled it and blushed lightly before hiding it not wanting this stranger to see. I didn't bother saying a single word to him. My mouth remained zipped. I didn't forget to keep on trying to move. I was sure that he had done something to me."Why
"Mom, I... I am only seeing its blueness. There is no cloud up there, or even a bird flying up there. Why do you think it's different from the other days?" I couldn't help but ask her. She faced away from it then turned to look at me. She had a smile on as she patiently explained her point of view."Hmm, it's different because this is another day. It's not the same as it was yesterday. It does not matter if there were clouds up there or not. The sky of today will never be like yesterday. The same applies to us, Alex. I know that you are still anxious about what happened four days ago in the forest but that was then darling. Leave it behind and brace yourself and face this day with a smile. I know that there might be some looming danger out there but you don't have to be afraid of it. Do you hear? Don't beat yourself too much. You will definitely get the answer in the end." After she was done talking she stood up and took a few steps before stopping in front of a flowerpot on the sidewa
While going back I bumped into Steve who was about to see my parents. He looked haggard I don't know what was wrong with him but I knew that the news he was going to deliver to my parents wasn't going to be good. He didn't even bother to say sorry or to reply to my greetings for I was already knocking on their door. He didn't even give himself time to stop and take a breath, his knuckles were busy colliding with the door making loud noises probably alerting mom and dad who were discussing about my situation. I didn't stay too long to see him continue harassing the door for I returned to my room and took a glass of water before downing it down my stomach.At first, I was nervous to tell them about this matter but now I feel somewhat relieved that I am no longer the only one who knows about this. However, the anxiety hasn't worn off for there is a difference between many people knowing this and actually getting out of the mess. It would have been better if the one behind this is caught.
