The man immediately turned into a human tornado and charged at Dario with a speed only he could summon which meant that Dario definitely did not see it coming and could not block the attack in time. The impact had him falling a few meters away from where he originally stood. Recharging back in a second, he counter attacked with speed, strength and precision, ready to claw the man to death but missed. It made him chuckle because he truly expected nothing less. Vraise definitely lived up to his name of secluded warrior. He is very rarely seen and if ever seen, there is an event or battle that he can’t be absent from and this was one of it because Dario was determined to exterminate the whole vampire thing existence and would have actually done it without Vraise’s interference. “Nice to see you again”. Vraise said out loud, but as calmly as possible. The man was the epitome of calm. He flowed like water and even his attacks were swift and precise. He and Dario were almost age mat
“You would kill yourself at this rate”. Claire voices out as she painfully watched Marissa train and train for hours without rest. She had skipped breakfast and almost skipped lunch, if not for Claire who made her realize that if she skipped lunch, her mate would definitely know that something was wrong. The man already noticed that something was up but blamed it on the shock and healing of her wounds. “I must be able to defend myself from anyone and anything and I know I can do it within a short time. You saw how I learnt moves so fast during practice, right?”. She asked enthusiastically as she panted from all the moving about she had been doing. Funny enough, her enthusiasm made it even more sad to Claire who started to tear up, and tried to hide by sneakily wiping her eyes, an action which did not skip Marissa’s notice. “What is it?”. Marissa asks, stopping to pay full attention to Claire as she was one who could not focus on two things at the same time. “You have not told m
It felt so weird to be so hyper aware. To be able to see things and people before they appear, to be able to smell every single little thing, down to the earth beneath the grass and flowers but at the same time, it was what she wanted. It had been a week since she started training nonstop and having Claire cover for her with her mate. Marissa had to move her training from her room to the garden as Dario had come in one day after everything had been cleared but still got a hint that she wearer a lot in here, and so he asked if she had been working out or was sick again. “She really won’t stop, will she?”. Claire muttered under her voice as she walked towards Marissa, wanting to know if she could hear that too because the woman ha been hearing almost everything she whispered under her breath. It was crazy to her. “Nope, she won’t”. Marissa replied, and even though she anticipated it, she still gasped in shock. Such an improvement in a week, was insane but she was an Oscura so Clair
“If there’s truly nothing wrong with her, shouldn’t she be awake?”. Dario voiced out as he paced back and forth.It’s been a few days now since Marissa became unconscious and although the doctor said there was nothing wrong with her, Dario had began to get more than worried. He had turned the hospital room, where she was resting into his second house as he couldn’t get any rest unless he was close to her anyways. “Alpha” James sighed as he entered.“Still nothing?!”. Dario exclaimed, gradually losing his mind. It had been almost a week and his mate was unconscious and there was nothing he could do. He had blamed Claire and made her cry because if it but it was well deserved. They didn’t know what they were getting into and he had told them not to hide anything from him as they can only put heads together to properly learn how to stay with her, what works for her powers, and how she can improve them without getting hurt or hurting any other person. “I’m sorry, I’ve checked every
“Why exactly would I be the topic of the meeting. My guess is that something is wrong”. Dario stated as he walked back to the office with James “Will you attend?”. His best friend asks, but he shook his head no. “I will not. It feels like a trap, but the worse part is that these were not empty threats and I can fever fight them off. Each one of us in that council and heads of our clans and each, one of the strongest members of their tribes and clans”. Dario stated, the worry very present in his voice and he pondered on whether there was anyway I escape it because this was the worst time to leave the pack. His mate who may be able to protect the pack in his stead was unconscious and according to the book, won’t be awake for two more days. Her body was currently re-adjusting in order ti be able to accommodate such powers running through her veins. “I can not say that I do not understand you abd secobd your thoughts because truly, they could just be targeting you and then bring you
Stepping into the forest, the trees which were supposed to be green and healthy, were now golden yellow and dead. The wind itself, gave off an eerie feeling. Cautiously, she walked through the dense forest, the fading sunlight casting long, ominous shadows on the ground. The trees seemed to close in around her, as if saying they didn’t want her there. As she turned left, down a bended path, a sudden chill swept over her, and her instincts screamed warning, but she swallowed and scanned her surroundings.She felt uncomfortable but continued down that path, knowing that there was something she needed to see but not knowing what exactly it was. A fast shadow passed by her but she only saw the ruffles of the dead leaves on the floor as it had uncommon speed and so she followed with her own speed. She knew very well that she shouldn’t be running after a creature that she didn’t know but she couldn’t help it and also couldn’t stop herself. At first she thought it wqs her mate but th
The look of betrayal in Marissa’s face as she injected her was one that Claire never wanted to see in her lifetime again. She felt so bad and did not want to… actually could not face her when she woke up, and so she left to go attend to some things as they still expected a war. It had not been 24 hours yet. “I really don't know what I would do if Luna wakes up like that again because she can not take another dose of that injection”. The pack doctor said with James seconding his thoughts with a nod. He understood her plight and honestly could not say that would not have done the same or worse. Dario, on the other hand was somehow having trouble finding the creek that should be more than easy to find as he had been there severally, although not for the meeting. Walking through the waterfall where he got the water that he used to trap Marissa after suspecting that she was an elf, brought so many memories and he could not help but smile because he thought of what his life would curr
“Why? You’re really asking why?”. The vampire king thundered out as he almost attacked him from his chair but was held back by the ones beside him. “I asked because what didn’t you all also convene a meeting when my package was constantly uncared mad attacked by almost half this room? All I did was counter attack and everyone is holding a meeting this serious”. He voiced out with authority, not bothering to hold back his domineering presence like he did mostly, in the pack.“That gives you no reason or excuse to almost make them extinct. As far as I know, your people were not really harmed”. The goblin leader spoke up and Dario immediately got very angry on hearing him sisal as he too had people attack his mate but he chose to keep his cool. Anything to prevent a fight from breaking out but he wouldn’t just be silent and hang to their every word. Despite the fact that they would tear him apart if they all teamed up against him, he was not afraid of them in the least. “If they were
“P-Please, I can make it right!” DU pleaded, his voice a mix of fear and desperation. “I can give you anything you want!” He uttered with a shaky voice as fear gripped him, causing goosebumps from his head, down to his toes. He knew that Dario was scary and had been given full description in what his wolf looks like, but seeing a giant black wolf in person with golden eyes was different. Dario’s eyes narrowed, his expression angry and unyielding. “You think your money can save you? You’ve destroyed lives for your greed. There is no redemption for you. With a swift motion, Dario almost sank his claws into the billionaire but was blocked by Vraise once again: An action that he did not take lightly, he didn't speak a word extra and just attacked brutally. This was the day that Vraise got the shock of his life .The billionaire on the other hand, fell to his knees in slight relief from the fear but still could not move from his spot as it somehow felt like his legs were glued to that
The three day promise was not a farce and despite the fact that he had to be with his mate who needed him more than anything in this moment, he was simultaneously planning his revenge and this time, without the other supernaturals. On the day she screamed, she was in danger of being found by the other supernaturals, and due to that,he made sure that they all leave the pack house that same day. As he stood at the edge of the garden, overlooking the whole of the pack from where he stood. He had always protected them flawlessly but now, there were so many flaws in his way of protection recently. He was done and ready to go kill that billionaire actually do it this time, he had enough of the rubbish.Today, he was not strategizing or wasting his time with any plans and procedures, he was just going tobarge in and kill whoever stops him. He had enough of being considerate of the innocent lives invloved. He was actually never one to care about how he achieved something, just the end res
Her screams shook the whole pack to its core. Every single soul in the pack could not pretend to have not heard a scream that loud. It sounded like one of pain and also a call for help. It’s been wreks now that Marissa had felt the pull of something sinister, a dark urge that whispered in her ear, urging her to embrace the violence that simmered just beneath the surface. It was an insatiable hunger, a desire that clawed at her insides, demanding release.Dario immediately dropped and forgot everything. The only urge currently present was to get to his mate but on rushing to her, he just could not get past an invincible and it frustrated him to no end. “Let me in princess”. He called out and it did not sound like he was pleading. He demanded. However, it seemed like she was in her worn Luther bubble, unable to feel or hear anyone including her mate. Writhing in pain and fear, Marissa screamed again when another wave of pain hit her like a tornado. “Please”“Please”. She chanted l
Just as he was about to send the billionaire to his ancestors, a hand that definitely belonged to Vraise, stopped him halfway. He growled out in anger as he was so close. Previously, he could not help but wonder why exactly the vampire was protecting the billionaire, because Vraise was not one to be involved in matters. Any matters at all, even that of his clan not to talk of the personal matters of a human but in this moment, he did not care. If he did not kill the billionaire today, he would not be able to live with himself. “A common human tormenting my pack because he has some money that I am above”“Move or I will not consider the fact that we have been somewhat friends over the years”. Dario warned as he still felt some sort of friendship between them and chose to give him one last chance. However, what he got in response was an attack from vraise. A sharp clawing and pushing that had him falling several feet away. “That will be the last time you touch me”. He growled as
“Go! Go! Go!”. Dario yelled at the people as they lived into the safe house they had built in the little time that they had been planning. The little underground room was not even finished but could at least hold all of them if they squeezed in, which was not a choice they had. As soon as he saw that the people had almost gone in, he left the rest to Claire who had been directing them. It was in times like this that he was so grateful that he had his sister and the little support group he had. His mind all the while had been on his mate whom was currently unstable but still using whatever strength she had left to hold the bombs and the billionaire off. It angered him to no extent and this time, he let his anger roam freely. He had enough.In his opinion, his mate had been bullied enough and right in front of him again, drove him insane. The idiot had the audacity to come attack his pack and try to steal his mate and thinks he would be able to get away with it. “Today, I’ll let
The little whispers from the office almost sounded like the whispers of the wind and Claire could not help but be a little spooked as the room was filled with a mix of werewolves, vampires, and witches, each bringing their unique strengths to the table. Dario leaned over the large oak desk, tracing the lines of a map with his finger. “We need to fortify our borders and increase patrols, so that they can keep watch while we fight. The billionaire is not to be underestimated”. He said, his voice steady but urgent. “If they’re planning an attack, we can’t let them catch us off guard.” The King of bears added. Just as they began to outline their strategy, a loud explosion shook the building, rattling the windows and sending papers flying into the air. The sound was deafening, and for a moment, everyone froze, eyes wide with shock. Dario's heart raced as he instinctively rea he’d through his mind to see if Marissa was fine. “What the hell was that?” one of the vampires, Elias, exclaime
“Oh God Marissa!”. Claire exclaimed as she saw that there was indeed blood on the window. A lot of it. James on the other hand looked like he was about to pass out and began questioning why he actually accepted to look after her. The fear he had for her had not subsided and now, seeing this made it double. “You killed a bird?” Dario asks, already knowing that it was indeed a bird from the smell it emitted, and she nodded yes. I’m this moment she looked so guilty that he felt so bad for her. She hated those birds that chirped around her window at first but had come to actually look forward to them chirping her awake each morning. “I- I tried not to”. She stammers as she tried the explain her reason for killing it, looking confused and disoriented. “But I craved the blood, I just wanted to feel it’s hot blood run through my fingers.” She said and in that moment, her eyes began to turn red again with a sinister smile playing on her lips. He immediately started to struggle to bre
“It’s high time we decided on a date for the attack. I also have a feeling that you all are hiding something from me and postponing the attack due to that. Now, it’s either you tell me what it is, or I find out myself and ut will not be funny if I do so myself”. He warned as he turned to step out of the room. “Alpha Dario, please wait”. The king of the bears started which stopped Dario in his tracks. “Lycan alpha. We apologize but since we sent scouts to locate his whereabouts since he was not at his mansion, they have not come back.” The leader of the witch clan stated with a winced expression on her face. She expected him to flip out and trash things or even attack them in anger but he did none of that. He already knew to not have expectations when working with them because they all had a way to piss him off beyond bounds. “This is exactly why I work solo.” He said the them as he walked out. He was annoyed, no doubt. Very angry, if he was being honest because they were the re
Waking up from her slumber, it was first confusion as she had somehow lost memories of the last events before her unconsciousness, the next thing was that it felt like a dream to move her limbs again after being cramped up in such a tiny cell. It made her realize that she really had been spoilt because she lived in a tiny cell for several years abd now she finds it terribly uncomfortable to be in one for a few days. She chuckled to herself and immediately, the doors open, revealing Dario who had sensed her awakening and immediately rushed over. It was as if all her memories came in through the door with him and she immediately panicked remembering just how fatigued she was while trying to block the bombs, and didn’t stop even when it felt like her very essence was leaving her. Deep down, she already knew that something was wrong but was still trying to deny it. Shaking her head like someone was telling a her an unbelievable lie. “What is it princess?”. Dario asks, noticing and s
