Barely two days had passed and Monalisa had been asked to join the other slaves to work. She managed to pull herself together and do as she had been told but had planned to cause trouble that would make them punish her. Someone had told her a story after she started working that caught her interest and she hoped that what she had heard would be her fate.“What are you doing, are planning on getting yourself killed?” Gabby, one of the slave girls who had told her the story asked, gesturing for her with her eyes to obey the instruction of the vampire who was in command.Monalisa just flashed Gabby a smile and remained adamant, hoping that she would be sentenced to death immediately after being caught not carrying out her duty, just as Gabby had told her about some other girls who were killed like that.“Hey, can you not hear me?” Gabby asked again, her eyes widened as she wondered what Monalisa was up to. She was about to say another word to Monalisa when the vampire in charge came and
Felicia pushed open the door after she heard Hamilton ask her to come in, still feeling excited to bring him the news about Monalisa being sent to the arena.Hamilton furrowed his brows as he set eyes on Felicia, wondering why she had come to see him. “Is there a problem?” he asked, taking his gaze away from her, hoping it is not about turning her into a vampire.“I brought news boss,” Felicia told him, lowering her gaze as she did not want him to see how happy she was.“What news?” Hamilton asked immediately, still not looking at her.“It’s Monalisa,” Felicia said calmly, her gaze on Hamiliton as she spoke.“What is it about Monalisa?” He asked immediately he heard her mention Monalisa’s name, turning his gaze to Felicia again and peering hard at her too as he wondered what this was about. He had asked that Monalisa join the other slaves to work so that she would understand her reality and because he wanted to punish her for causing him to think of her often. He did not want to hav
“Excuse me?” Monalisa muttered.“Come on, follow me,” Felicia commanded, gesturing for Monalisa to follow her and ignoring the way she looked.“I am going nowhere with you, call him to take me back,” Monalisa said sharply, talking about Vince.“What?” Felicia said, turning to face her properly again.“I am not going anywhere with you, I want to stay here,” Monalisa said again, peering hard at Felicia this time.“You have been released, didn’t you hear him?” Felicia said, getting furious at Monalisa for trying to be stubborn. She is angrier because she cannot punish her just yet.“Who gave you the right to interfere?” Monalisa told her angrily.“I did not interfere, do you hear me, if it were up to me you would have been dead already, so stop being stubborn and follow me right away.” Felicia snapped, glaring at her. She knew that if Hamilton got to the room and didn’t find Monalisa there, he may punish her since he had given her the command to bring her there. “Hamilton asked that you
“What do you want?” Doctor Clara asked as soon as Felicia walked into the clinic. She was still worried about Monalisa whom she heard was taking to the arena and thought that Felicia was there to taunt her for it.“Monalisa needs to be taken care of, Hamilton’s order,” Felicia told her rudely and turned towards the door again. She was not in a good mood and did not feel like talking to anyone at the moment and especially not Clara.“What, Monalisa is in the room?” Clara muttered in surprise and wondered how she got to leave the arena alive. She quickly scrambled for a few medical kits and rushed out of the clinic.Felicia who was already outside the clinic got angrier after she saw Clara walk past her in a hurry. She turned in her direction, deciding to see Monalisa, she is going to ask her why she did not take her advice.Clara rushed into the room Monalisa was in and went straight to the bed but was shocked to see the state Monalisa was in.Monalisa furrowed her brows immediately as
Hamilton rushed out of his room, hating the news he had received but needed to confirm what Felicia had told him even though he doubted that she would dare lie to him.Felicia followed behind him too as she wanted to see what he would do to Monalisa.Monalisa and Clara turned towards the door immediately they heard it go open, their faces turned pale as they saw who it was.Hamilton moved swiftly towards Monalisa’s bed and quickly picked up her wrist to Monalisa’s surprise.Doctor Clara quickly understood what was going on as she saw Felicia walking into the room too.“So it is true,” Hamilton sneered at Monalisa after he saw the bandage around her wrist.“What…” Monalisa muttered, still not sure what was going on, trying not to be afraid of him and instead hoping she could use the rage she saw in him to her advantage.“How dare you try to kill yourself?” Hamilton asked in a deep terrifying tone which sent a cold chill down Clara’s spine even though she was not the one Hamilton was sp
Elly gazed down at baby Mario in his cradle, admiring his cuteness and feeling thankful that he came into his life. It has already been days and she could feel that she had fallen deeply in love with him. She lifted her gaze and smiled at Greg who was seated on an armchair in front of her outside the courtyard. She had also fallen in love with Greg but decided to keep it to herself as she knew that he had just recently lost his wife. She would give him time and would wait no matter how long it would take. She had promised in her heart beside, they are already living like a couple. At least anyone looking could think that they were a married couple who had a baby too.Greg flashed her a smile too, feeling thankful for the way she had been taking care of them, especially Mario whom he wondered what he would have done if not for Elly.His wounds have been healed but have not healed without leaving a scar in his right leg. “You are still good looking the way you are, you do not have to
“I do not want to continue living like this,” Monalisa suddenly broke down, allowing the tears she had been fighting not to fall from her eyes to flow freely.Doctor Clara slowly moved to the bed where Monalisa was after peering at her for a while to console her, knowing how frustrating it is to be Hamilton’s prisoner.Felicia peered at her too but did not care about her tears. She was thinking about how she is going to survive in Viper city and would not want Monalisa to ruin her plan or take her place. She hates it when Hamilton commanded that she and Clara look after Monalisa.“Hush now, Monalisa, you have to stop wishing for death and take this as a sign that your son wants you to live.” Clara said, patting her back.Monalisa shook her head sideways in disagreement with what Clara said, “how can my son want me to live like this, he must be lonely without me?” Monalisa said tearfully, covering her face with her palms and crying into them. She wished once again that she could turn
“Thanks,” Monalisa replied and then took off.Felicia smiled wickedly to herself as she knew that Monalisa was going to be caught. “I want to see how you would escape death this time Monalisa,” she said inwardly as she knew that trying to escape from viper city is a grave crime that meant immediate death.Hamilton tilt his head backwards as he perceived a familiar scent. “Monalisa.” He muttered as he recognized her scent even though he has not seen her.“What is she doing out here?” He asked again peering in the direction of her scent as she approached him.“Is she trying to run away?” Hamilton asked inwardly again as he saw her walking speedily in his direction. “She is definitely trying to run away from me,” he said inwardly again, taking note of her movement.He groaned deeply and quickly moved swiftly to stand in front of her, taking her by surprise.Monalisa paused abruptly, her feet suddenly stuck to the ground as she saw Hamilton standing in front of her. “How come he is here i
Bret banged rather furiously on the front door of Annabel’s house as soon as he arrived at her house. He had left his parents and went straight to Annables house knowing this was the only place he could find answers to what Advik had told them.Annabel and her mum, Lila left their rooms immediately after the heard the banging on the front door, each wondering who it could be. They were about to retire for the evening when they heard the knock.“Who could it be?” Annabel asked her mum, Lila in a trembling tone after they met each other in the living room.“I do not know?” Lila replied, a little frightened too, and glancing up at the wall clock hanging in their living room to see the time.“Who is it?” Lila asked, trying to push her fear away as the elder of the family after gesturing to Annabel to go get her phone, ready to call for help just in case it was dangerous.“It’s me Aunt Lila, it’s Bret, I need to speak to Annabel,” Bret responded rather sharply causing Annabel to pause abru
Advik suddenly paused after some incantations, glancing from Bret to his parents, his pupils enlarging. “What is the matter?” Dennis asked, standing up immediately, followed by Cara as they sensed something wrong.“What’s wrong with me?” Bret asked, standing up too, his curious gaze going from his parents to Advik.“I am afraid, Alpha Dennis but your son Bret cannot have his Alpha wolf strength, he can gain some strength by practicing but not the strength of an Alpha wolf,” Advik told them rather slowly.“What?” Cara muttered confused by what Advik said. She could also see the confusion on Dennis and Bret’s face.“Why can he not have the strength of an Alpha wolf?” Dennis brawled at Advik as if he were the reason for Bret’s situation.“That is because your son’s Alpha wolf strength has been passed on to his son,” Advik said.“What?” Bret muttered, shocked by what he had just heard.“What?” Dennis and Cara echoed almost immediately too, surprised by what Advik said.“Your son’s wolf s
Alpha Dennis barged into his bedroom feeling very furious and devastated after having yet another failed session with Bret, causing his wife, Luna Cara was seated on a chair in front of her dressing mirror to stand up on her feet immediately startled by her husband.“What is it?” Cara asked taking a few steps closer to Dennis even though she could already sense his reason for being so furious. “I am done with that son of ours,” Dennis blotted out, groaning deeply afterwards. “I wonder how I ended up with such a son, all of my efforts to take control of Batton city over the years will go to waste because I do not have a capable successor,” Dennis snapped, pacing furiously around his room with Cara.Cara’s brows furrowed, feeling terrible too for Brets inability to awaken his wolf’s strength. They have only succeeded in making his wolf come alive but have failed to make his alpha strength come alive. She has tried to train him herself too but failed.“Calm down Dennis, I think we shoul
Chico barged into the room he shared with some of the vampires, groaning deeply, causing Liam and Thomas who were present in the room to turn their gaze on him.“Did something happen between you and Hamilton?” Thomas asked almost immediately, sitting up on the bed where he was lying on. He is guessing that to be the case since he has been very upset with Hamilton lately.Liam just tightened his jaw muscles as he peered at Chico from the chair where he was seated on, next to Thomas, having the same opinion as Thomas.“It is not Hamilton, it’s that b*tch, Felicia,” Chico replied fiercely, recalling how she told him that she knew his secret. “The nerve of that b*tch to blackmail me,” Chico added, tightening his jaw muscles and wishing he was in control of viper city already. “What did she say?” Thomas asked in a deep tone, wondering what Felicia must have said to him to make him this upset.“She knows of my plan to take over from Hamilton,” Chico said, peering into Thomas' eyes. Thomas
Felicia found Chico with some of his men and gestured for him to make them leave. Chico groaned a little, knowing why she had come to him, he nodded slightly, gesturing for his men to leave. “What is it?” he asked after his men left, crossing his arms across his chest.“You know what I want Chico, I have been asking for months,” Felicia said sharply, irritated by his question but pressed her lips tightly together after Chico shot her a disapproving look, indicating that he didn’t like her tone.“I am sorry, Chico, it’s just that I cannot wait to be like you… I mean, a vampire, have you spoken to Hamilton about it?” she asked, forcing herself to sound polite.Chico peered at her for a while wondering why she kept insisting on being one of them, especially since she had witnessed how Hamilton allowed them to have little blood. He had been working on getting stronger secretly even though it was difficult and wished that Hamilton had turned Felicia into one of them instead of Monalisa as
“They have returned,” Monalisa said to Clara who was sitting next to her in the slaves camp as soon as she heard the sound of the vampires who had gone out before, her brows furrowed, hating that they sounded happy.She was feeling hopeful when Hamilton told her that he was going hunting late last night knowing that they were going to hunt some werewolves. Werewolves as she had heard were no easy target so she hoped that they would not return but hearing how happy they sounded showed that they succeeded.“Your wish didn’t come true Monalisa,” Gabby, who was working next to them said in a whisper, her face saddened. She had hoped that Monalisa’s wish would come true so that they could try and escape from viper city just as Monalisa had planned.“You do not have to be heartbroken about this Monalisa, I believe the opportunity would come,” Clara said, seeing how bitter Monalisa looked.“When will that day be?” Monalisa snapped but in a low tone in order not to be heard by some other vamp
“A year has passed Dennis, our son is nineteen now. It is time we make our son train as a werewolf to see if that could help him,” Cara added, making up her mind, still peering at Dennis who also felt that Cara was right.“Where is Bret at the moment?” Dennis asked, turning his dark gaze away from Cara.“He should be in his room,” Cara replied, wishing she had suggested this sooner.Dennis turned in the direction of Bret’s room at once while Cara followed behind.They have sought solutions by themselves but had found none yet but this attack on their pack had led Cara to suggest that they tell Bret about who he is and felt relieved that Dennis accepted it.Dennis pushed Bret’s room door open immediately he got to it without knocking like he normally would have done causing Bret who was in bed with Annabel to sit up on the bed immediately too.“Dad,” Bret snapped immediately he saw that it was his parents who just walked into the room.“Mum,” he added immediately, turning his unaccepta
“Hold on a minute,” Judit, one of the house keepers in Bret’s house, said hastily and rushed to get the front door leaving what she was attending to in the kitchen, wondering who it was that was ringing the doorbell rather ferociously and why no other housekeeper was available to answer the door.“Is your boss in?” a tall slim man asked rather rudely immediately the door swung open, peering rather hard, down at Judit for not answering the door quickly.“Excuse me, do I know you?” Judit asked, trying not to be rude to the stranger at the door. She has not recalled seeing this face before and wondered why he spoke to her in the manner that he did.“No you don’t, now answer the question, is your boss in?” the man asked authoritatively again in a deep tone, his brows furrowed at Judit.Judit clapped her hands together in front of her, trying to get a hold of herself and not knowing how he got past the security men at the gate with such an attitude. She had dealt with so many guests in her
“Marry me, Greg,” Elly said abruptly from the other end of the dining table where they had just finished having dinner.Greg lifted his head off the plate in front of him, his brows raised in surprise. “What?” he muttered, peering into her eyes that peered back at him. “You heard me Greg, marry me,” Elly said the words again with much confidence this time, staring back into his eyes. She had practiced saying these words to herself for some months now and had mustered the courage to say it.“One year has passed now, Greg, Mario has started mumbling his first words and I cannot let him go… I mean, I cannot let the both of you go, I want us to be a family, you, me, and Mario, I love you both, Greg, please marry me,” Elly said, reaching out for Greg’s hand from the other side of the table.“I know you would never ask me, so I took the initiative to ask,” Elly added, holding Greg’s hand.Greg shook his head a little, not knowing what to say to her since her proposal came as a surprise to
