Day seven, the Sabbath, finally done with the silver test Danté felt good opening his eyes, he couldn't wait to get some sort of liquid down his throat, that was priority one, fuck the pain.
Aiden came in front of him, being in charge if happenings around the Yard Danté found it odd to see him "Where is my torturer?"Aiden was busy undoing the shackles and taking out all the acupuncture needles "I came to personally get you, there is something we must address"When everything was done and extracted Aiden stood back "Stand"Cursed fucking tests, this was another, after the Silver test you may not be helped to your feet, a show of strength and resilience.Danté had his hands down on the armrests and pushed himself to his feet, groaning as he erected his legs. Now standing hunched like an old man that L-shaped sitting position was molded to him, he forced his spine to come straight and grunted managing over that piercing warm pain."ThDanté remembered now, the meeting today about the wolf pack, that's why all the hunters have gathered.He stood watching Mindy whilst catching his breath, three days into his silver test she was out, but that means she was here for three more, she's in desperate need of medical attention and Danté couldn't help slap at some maggots on her back.She's basically so much a corpse Danté doubted Liam the ghoul would find her appealing, her wounds infected, her body thin, she's on her last legs."Come on Mindy, one more, after this its the medbay and a warm plate of food""Give it up Kane! You know as well as all of us that's where it ends!""Shut your fucking trap Bruce!" He yelled at the largest in the group but couldn't help catch that flare of red in the hair of Xena, so she was also here?The thing about this was no one supported anyone who enters first time, if you can't cut it you're dead weight, sometimes those watching made wager
Food was underrated, now with a full belly Danté could feel the energy returning to him as he sat at the round table.There where only fifteen hunters, most he knew but some never mingled with him. Two seats away Xena sat inspecting one of her silver arrow tips, and now that he has energy he could kick his own hindquarters for not taking her back in that medbay, she was a masterpiece, and thinking of it he couldn't remember the last time he had some good spicy sex?One of two women in the Cross, the other was her... He scanned to find Nightingale right across from him, she as well a piece of art, her mustard yellow eyes had an exotic gold glint when the light caught them just right, and that was thanks to her half wolf side.Now that Villa Du Bois left the Cross she was top dog among the two women, but Danté wouldn't count Xena out just yet, that compound bow had a powerful kick, he once saw her carbon fiber arrow go through a wooden target, it had prope
"A dark cobblestone hallway, is this a better place to speak your mind Kane?" Nightingale asked catching up to him with wide strides.He turned his side to her but only drank from the bottle to empty it."You think because you're the smartest here you need not say much? What's wrong then? Afraid you'll hurt my feelings?""What feelings? As far as I know we are not allowed to have any" he said still not turning to her."Don't come with crap now kid! I said something back there and I saw you didn't approve!""Yes! The way you said 'us' and not 'them' you really think I consider you a werewolf halfmut?"She blinked "Oh, that's it hey? Your hatred of us?"Everyone knew Danté well by now, but clearly she missed a step "Make no mistake Nightingale, I don't hate wolves, in fact I never saw one before, would like to actually, but you are not one, you're only half a wolf" he said finally turning his body broad to her.She felt that gesture of ho
Danté came into the dungeon to see Skyler being disappointed that she got caught, personally he wanted to deal with her himself.She sat up when he entered and the two first silently looked at each other."This wasn't my intention" he started."What?""To get you captured, I wanted to hunt you myself""I thought you were not allowed to?""I am now" he said lifting the cross out from under his shirt."Oh, I see... Is there a reason why you became a hunter?" She asked not stirring from her position."Yes, vampires killed my parents""Vampires, but not me right?""Fangs, lust for blood, speed, strength... Those red eyes, it doesn't matter the individual Skyler, to me you're all the same""So why did you come ask me for therapy then?""It was obviously to assess you and your surroundings, I was looking for ways to kill you"She blinked and looked to her lap "Oh""But, I must admit, maybe I was in need of therapy, only that time I got distracted
Xena hid herself in the dark side of the house as she waited for Nightingale to arrive, her heart pounded in her chest thinking of what she and Danté planned.She felt like an idiot for not noticing Danté earlier in life so when she told him why 'he' has said nothing yet it was actually her asking herself that question.Only two women serving as hunters meant she, and she was sure Nightingale would agree that among the men Danté was the pretty boy, the rest either old or unattractive, and to peak Danté's list of interesting things, he was the only pure human still in the Cross.He was the little hero between them, throwing himself in the way of all possible threats the Cross had to protect Vince, Lana and herself, and thanks to that the punishment he received in the end would be twice as severe, and the worst was when he tried to save Lana from the silver test, to this day the Cross blamed him for her death, but they all knew he saw she wasn't going to make it and tried to
Rebecca gasped at the sight of the snow white castle in front of her, it was the only time her teeth didn't clatter as her mouth hung open "It's, so beautiful""Told you, the thing that makes this castle special from the outside is the frost clinging to its bricks" Villa said stepping closer and wiping at the white.Rebecca saw as the frost came off it exposed a very dark grey stone brick."So this castle is supposed to be grey?""Yes, let's go" Villa said heading to the door, but as she wanted to knock saw the door slightly open, she pushed it aside and the two entered."Who's castle is this anyway?" Rebecca asked but Villa held a finger to her mouth."Its odd to find the door open, remain perfectly quiet" She whispered.The two silently walked through and found the main dining hall, there at the tip of the twenty seater table was a woman lying on her arms, empty and half full bottles of all shapes and sizes sprawled all around her."Oh dear" Villa said head
"Mother!?" Rebecca yelled but Asena gave her a shake, purposefully brushing her half inch claws over her jugular."Ssh little mistake, let's hear your precious mother talk... Say everything Villa, you kept the truth from her far too long... She needs to know why I said what I said"Villa felt her entire body tremble, the last thing she wanted Rebecca to hear was how she contemplated killing her."Talk Villa!""When you were a year old Rebecca, you shifted into a wolf for the first time..."Rebecca's breath left her."I– didn't know how to respond, I saw a pup, not a full grown wolf, you weren't ready for that shift yet so it was like a baby accidentally killing a lizard, you didn't mean to, you just... Toyed with her...""I, killed someone then?""From an early age I wanted to give you human interaction, so I invited a woman with her child over so you had someone your age to play with... But...""I killed the girl!? A child!?"
Villa smiled finally happy Asena was willing to change her life around, but she first clasped her shoulders again "Now, before you go be happy for a change... Please help my daughter?"Asena looked at Rebecca then smirked back at Villa "Sorry I'm too drunk now, if only there was a vampire around that can get some of this alcohol out of my system?"Villa felt her fangs grow again thinking of blood."You sure you can do this? Drink and not kill me?" Asena asked seeing Villa's wide eyed stare at her neck."I'll try"With a quick flip of her head she threw her hair back, then slowly leaned in to Villa "Have at it then..."Villa wasn't joking when saying she didn't drink blood in more than twenty years, she was in awe over this situation, its not every day someone offers it."Mother? Are you okay?""I am! Quiet let me concentrate!" Villa lashed at her but still had her eyes on that vein.She took Asena by her shoulder, then the other around her neck, in a natur
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
