To Hannah it was both a victory and a failure, Saffira brought them into the main tower of the Velvitali just as a fight broke out between him and two knights, but the numbers where against the offenders and they managed to be captured, a knife from Jane against Amber's throat insured Alexander didn't dare move.
Even if Tiffany was against the the idea Raphael had with Rebecca now she had no choice but to obey and stand down."You all had the audacity to challenge me in this place!? My very own castle!?" Raphael yelled at them as they sat on their knees, but no one said anything, Amber was bleeding heavily and was having a hard time with the wound.Hannah came back into the room and smirked at Raphael, but he was equally as unimpressed with her "Does it look like a yard sale here today!? Even the Cross came knocking!""We have a problem, or maybe I do, I came here for information about Rachel's tomb, I just didn't expect to run into your little clash Raphael""We can hide out here" Alister said as they slowly drove on a dirt path deep into a forested area."How long?" Danté asked scanning."Indefinitely if need be""What!?" Rebecca asked not happy about being here in the first place, the last thing she wanted was hiding like a coward when the killer of her mother is still alive."I told you two, we hide! Rebecca is the key to Rachel's tomb, and possibly you as well Danté" Alister scolded them and drew off to beaten path into a thicker section.The car struggled here and there but Alister was hellbound on getting it in, when the car almost got stuck Alister halted "This should be fine""Where is this anyway?" Danté asked getting out."A forest" Alister said with a smirk."That's funny""Where will we sleep?" Rebecca asked."You can choose, in the car, on the ground, in a bush, heck you're a vampire go hang upside down from a branch" Alister said gathering wood.Wh
They were prodded with the spears through the dense forest all the way to a well blended in camp, the only thing that would have given it away otherwise was a campfire, but it was not burning yet.Inside this camp they were surrounded by more men with no shirts, spears and machetes in hand and your occasional woman wearing strange burlap dresses."Stand here!" The leader of the party said and disappeared into the crowd of at least twenty, they all glared at them, it was clear no one was happy about their presence.Then the leader returned with a short woman with him, she wore a cloak and had a mask over her mouth, only her dark green eyes were visible, but when she stopped in front of the three her eyes widened to Rebecca.Rebecca could feel she was not an Alpha, but something about her body language, the aura around her stated respect is due, there was something extremely different about her.The Luna then scanned the faces, and they fell on Danté be
A worthy opponent, that was one thing Danté always wanted to find, or was it more worthy prey as a hunter? For years he has gone about killing the scraps of vampires, dreaming about werewolves and what it would be like to face one, he just never thought he'd stand here facing the very Tala herself, the first ever wolf queen.He needed a plan, clearly the merciful Tala Tamaska was a queen long gone and Vladimir now a fitting addition to her name, standing in that leather chest piece that had her entire belly open and the loin piece to cover her there just enough, leaving the entire length of those toned legs exposed, flexible and mobility focused attire, Danté knew it wasn't at all to boast her athletic body."My my hunter, you can certainly wash a woman with that gaze" Tala said."Danté this is not the time to gawk over my mother!" Rebecca yelled."Wasn't gawking dammit! I was assessing her!""What have you assessed then?" Tala asked.
—"Mom, why is your skin so smooth and daddy's is so rough?"Kaylee had to laugh "Its because mommy is a girl sweety, and daddy is a boy""Why should his skin be so rough compared to yours?""Because boys are tougher than girls sweetheart, they are there to protect us""Protect?""Yes, remember Danté, one day you will meet that special girl, she will almost be like mommy and daddy, you will love her very much""Like a girlfriend?"Kylee looked at Hector surprised, he was chopping wood but heard that and stopped."Hector!?""I didn't tell him that! He must have figured that out!""I heard an older boy say it to his friend" Danté said.Kaylee sighed "Very well, then when you meet this girl Danté, I want you to promise me you'll protect her""Like I'm supposed to protect you mom?""Yes... And I showed you what to do right? I've shown you the special gift you have"—&mdash
Cold blooded animals don't like winter, many go into hibernation and sleep it out, Melany on the other hand discovered heat was never a necessity to her after she became a vampire, but unfortunately to her meal ticket Hank, that's a different story.As they waded through the forests of winter stricken Alaska he fell behind, she never thought about warm clothes, never needed it."Come Hank! Once we reach the camp there will be a fire for you to warm up with!" she called but heard the thud as he dropped.She sighed and turned around, the man lied on the ground in fetal position and shivered uncontrollably."Hank! Get up!""I... C-can't"She walked over and bent next to him, felt his skin, ice cold, felt his heart, slow, very slow, to her knowledge hypothermia was about to kick in."Sorry then Hank, you served your purpose" she said lifting him and sank her fangs into his neck, the blood she got from him was cool, not the warmth it should be, she's gl
"Glad I'm on her side" Danté said and looked at Rebecca, her smile warmed to him."Yeah""My deepest sympathy to Villa" he said looking down "It must hurt a lot""You know the feeling right?" She asked."I do""Then we both lost, I guess we should move ahead and focus on the problem, so more people won't die" she said sadly."I agree" he said touching her shoulder "Maybe, you can learn to know Tala?"Rebecca shook her head "She's too focused on the enemy"Danté watched Tala hand out her speech, the plan of attack, the group of thirty at least listening intensively."To think, she didn't get the opportunity to be a mother?"Rebecca looked up at Tala, it was a sad thought indeed, she then looked at Alister "Sir?""Yes?" He asked also standing and listening to Tala."Please protect her?"Alister looked at Danté, then sighed rubbing his eyes "As you wish princess..." He was cut off.There wa
Rebecca was on her feet but the strength Ray had made Danté stagger back and fall when he parted them."Enough""Dad! I just wanted to say goodbye""Well you have now" he said closing his arms around her waist from behind and lifted her, she squirmed uncomfortably but Ray only spread his wings."Some day I'll come hunter, so live your life as you wish, as best you can, next time we meet I'll end you" he said and flew off.Danté watched the two go high and disappeared against the starry sky, then sighed looking around.Finally out of the mess he found himself in a position where he didn't know what to do, so he checked the stars and found a compass, then headed south following the sand.He brushed his lips, that was a nice kiss, on the night she compelled him the alcohol was in the lead and he felt both of them were guilty to a degree for being intoxicated, but now, her kiss was just as intoxicating.He came around the bend
The city of Cape town, they called it the mother city even if the capital was far north inland, yet still this place boomed with movement even at this time of the night.Danté stood watching a restaurant, there a sweet couple was chatting away happily, already two wine bottles stood empty as the waiter brought a third, perfect targets for what he needs now.He timed it well, on the table in front of them was their cellphones, and he needed one.The lady stood up probably to go relieve herself, as she entered Danté walked over, he pretends to trip and fell against the table but in that split second the man looked at him with his drunken eyes Danté slipped the phone off the table."Sorry sorry, I actually wanted to know, which way to the train station?" He asked the man."Oh no problem" he said, too happy to be bothered with a stupid purposely made mistake and pointed up the street "Just head straight up, you'll see it""Thanks
Meeting your maker, it had a nice ring to it, Danté and Rebecca knew they were about to face a predicament that might as well mean the end of them, but the fact that humans took it upon themselves to fight this secret war against the great wolves means they couldn't hide like cowards."Danté, why are you so anxious to do this?" She asked waiting for Raphael to join them in his office.He stood watching New York from that highest set window, like dominoes the buildings stood stacked and ready to be toppled over, would that be the case if wolves the size of houses came here to fight it out?"I don't have words to say, I wished I knew about these great wolves earlier, although now, being with you in our current circumstances, I'd wish for it no other way" he said turning to her.She smiled and came over to embrace him "How are you coping?""Its still new, I smell every human that passes me and feel my mouth water, but as long as you stick with me I'll be fine" he said an
Feeling its better Raphael explained the news Ray led Danté and Rebecca down to the dining hall, they found him and Lilith digging into a plate of breakfast, and he was enjoying it clearly by the way he closed his eyes whilst chewing."You know" he said lifting a slice of bacon "As a vampire the only human delicacy I got to enjoy was alcohol, I mixed some with blood and stored it in wine bottles to make it seem more authentic, but who was I kidding? This food, the real taste of wine fruit and cooked meat is way better than I could ever have imagined"Lilith smiled at him whilst chewing, nodding in agreement."I'm glad you enjoy it Raphael" Tala said.Danté and Rebecca sat down opposite him and the servants handed them each a plate of food as well, they dug in realizing for the first time how hungry they were."Something isn't right" Danté said between bites "I've never suddenly been this hungry before!"Rebecca first swallowed "Its
Danté lied on his back with Rebecca in his arms, they decided to cover with blankets for no reason at all, seeing each other bare was now so normal it felt right, they were comfortable seeing one another in all forms.Rebecca sighed softly and looked up to him "So what's next?""Well..." He said and stroked her back under the covers "Anything, as long as I get to do it with you"She smiled and lifted her heel to hook it over his leg and draw it away from the other "We can go for another round?""That sounds fun" he said and kissed her.She climbed on top of him getting ready "This time you don't turn me over, got it?" she said positioning."As you wish" he said but suddenly the door of the room burst open, Ray was in and out, his shocked face the last thing they saw before the door slammed shut."Boy! How dare you!" He screamed from behind it.Danté felt his guts knot when he realized what he had done, he pushed her off but she w
Danté wanted to treat her like pure gold, or according to his mind a diamond in the rough, she still stood holding the blanket around her, he stood holding her and only her blanket was parting their naked bodies from one another.Her lips soft, he kissed her delicately, that time in the back of the rental hatchback was a moment of alcohol induced pleasure he didn't want to repeat now, not here.No, he wanted to treat her right, every woman probably deserved it, and Rebecca was no exception regardless of what she was.She changed the pace slightly and bit his lip, holding it in her teeth softly and prevented him from pulling back, she felt his smile against het lips and opened her eyes, close to each other's faces, their eyes deep into one another, the senses he received from her bite allowed him to hear her heart race, she was excited.She let go of his lip but stood with a face red as the blanket she held, then under the one he held to cover them he felt
Maybe in the days his parents still lived he experienced this feeling, true joy, freedom, he didn't give a damn what Jasper said, all Danté wanted to do was be with Rebecca.She was still ahead, they played this game of tag all night, finding things to do with each other, games to play.It was almost sunrise when she suddenly turned ahead of him and he stopped before hitting her, she in return jumped towards him and dove him over.They both laughed when she pinned him to the ground, the moment eased out and they watched each other closely.He decided to say it first "I know I threw your life upside down, and I'm sorry""I was angry at you in the beginning, but the more I got those small moments with you, moments like this, it sorta just faded away" she said leaning in and lying on his chest."I promise I'll never do wrong by you again""Neither will I" she answered giving his face a lick.Danté couldn't help push her face a
Raphael fell back in his chair, the thoughts running through his head of what Jasper said, only after everyone around the table sat down did he look up."Did I hear him correctly? The feud between wolves and vampires in our world was only the tip of the ice berg?""Correct" Vlad said "I myself don't know the finer details, but the day I was made into a vampire Jasper warned me that I'm allowed to test my new power, but under no circumstance may I expose it to man kind carelessly""And the fact that he said he watched us, means we were like test subjects to him?" Ray asked."Yes again, he wanted to see what the power of the vampire held" Vlad said."You think he was happy with the results? Currently I feel like my whole life I was living in a cage like an animal, monitored at all times to see what I do" Victor said."Its one way to say it, only now It's finally over, we are finally in reality about what's happening in the real world of the supernatural"
It was a dream of Rebecca to become a fighter pilot, the day she told Benson that it wasn't a joke, now though seeing an actual military strike on something like the pyramids had her stunned silent.She looked at Jasper as he still stood chuckling at their faces, he then lifted his shoulders to a shrug and held his hands up."The men responsible for that are not hunters persé, they're humans who who abandoned their military and took it upon themselves to combat great wolves, you see they accidentally stumbled upon werewolves, the good ones add that, and found out about this feud between us wolves""So they just upped and blew a pyramid up? Is that truly what it takes to kill a great wolf?" Ray asked."Well there are more lenient ways I'll admit, but this plan was seventeen years in the making..." Jasper said looking at Rebecca "You where three years old when this happened, and since then its been a wild goose chase all around the world, accept they never s
It was a celebration, friends and enemies of old now sat together at the table talking and reminiscing, the apologies were shot in all directions but above all they decided to make amends and start anew.Ray allowed them to talk, Villa with Saffira, Raphael did some needed catching up with Lilith, then of course Vlad and Rachel couldn't share their attention to anyone but each other.Only Tala sat quietly next to him, she also adored the new life around this table, to Tala's right sat Hannah, her quiet smiling stare at her mother and father said it all, she was deeply happy.Ray then scanned and saw missing faces "Where is Rebecca and Melany?" He asked Tala and she also looks around."Don't know, I am aware Melany went to talk to Rebecca in her room, she was also tasked to bring Rebecca down for dinner?"Ray sat back when a servant placed a plate of food down in front of all of them, he smiled at the woman when she stood back "My gratitude, it must be
Rebecca and Melany came running into to the cemetery and found the grave severely disturbed."What blasphemy is this!?" Melany yelled first, it was clear the grave was empty, all around it the wood splinters of the coffin laid in shambles."I'm going to kill whoever did this!" Rebecca yelled but was silenced by a roar in the distance.The two women stood looking into the forest bordering the castle grounds, then looked at the scene."Could it be? It looks like this grave was pushed out from within?" Melany said and looked at Rebecca."Let's find out if that roar wasn't the one who dug this grave up" Rebecca said and ran out towards the forest."Maybe you should look at the moon Rebecca! That roar came from something that sounded rather large!" Melany called as she ran with her.They broke into the trees an stopped to listen, there was the noise of an animal in distress, it made them run again."Rebecca! Look at the moon!" Melany yelled but the
