"Cradle of man kind?" Danté asked.
"Yes, years back archeologists discovered skeletons in a cave, they presumed these where of the first humans on the African continent, but, when Vlad asked the knights of the round table to do everything in their might to prevent her from rising again, someone had the initiative to keep the skull until a suitable hiding spot could be found""And?" Danté asked."Mrs Ples, that's the name of the skull currently on display at the Ditsong national museum of history in Pretoria, but little does everyone know that skull is actually the one of Rachel, swapped out when no one was looking"Jane typed in the details and found the pictures on the web "This?" She asked holding a photo clearly taken of this scull inside a glass case."That's the one"Jane looked at Duke "What do you think?""Its obviously the perfect hiding place, but just to be sure, I suggest we go burn it, crush it, whatever it takes" he said."Skyler, you must go after Rebecca, she must be stopped!" Asena said rolling her shoulders and sizing up Sebastian who got up from his fell position.Skyler stood in awe over her at first, double her length but covered in fur, not fully werewolf but halfway there at least."How did you?""There's no time Skyler! Go after Rebecca! She must not reach Svalbard!" Asena said and moved.Sebastian wanted to take Skyler down but Asena was too fast for him now, she tackled him to the ground and pinned him.Skyler hesitated."Go!""But what about you!?""I'll be fine!""Promise me!"Asena looked up at her worried face."I promise"Skyler took a step back, giving Asena in that form one last good look, then darted out and took off.Sebastian kicked Asena from him but before she could clear his personal space her claw slammed into his kicking leg, she roared swinging him over and with the momentum she built from his kick she slamme
"Amber has a broken neck, but she's still alive, Rebecca doesn't want to talk to you" Raphael said."Did she... Did she bring the limbs to Hannah?" Danté asked."Yes she did"He clenched his fist, what on earth has bevel Rebecca!? Why would she!?"Very well, I know the location of the head, I'll let you know once I have it""We're at the Velvitali castle" Raphael said and put the phone down."Kane caught your assassins?" Hannah asked."He made a grave mistake though" he said typing on his phone "That computer tablet Jane uses has a tracker in, I can go get that head""Let me!" Rebecca said stepping forward "I'll go get it, and kill Kane whilst I'm at it""I still need his blood!" Hannah said."Then I will bring some"Raphael handed her the phone, showing the location of Jane, and a tracking system that will guide her there."Give me a day" Rebecca said and left the dungeons.Outside she gave the tracker a glance, chose her direction then flew o
Lynette watched Danté drop to the ground, his body giving one last shake before it went still, tears rolled down her cheeks as she realized her last hope just died with him.Rebecca stood watching his heart in her hand, it as well gave a few involuntary quivers before it stopped its final beat, deep in her she felt a sadness roll over, thinking it would have made her feel better...But now both her mothers gone, her father wanted nothing of her, and Danté, the one man she came to love, lied dead at her feet, his blood on her hands.She sighed trying her best to push away that feeling, a new world as a hybrid opened up thanks to Rachel, and even though it wasn't her own feeling, the compulsion made her want Rachel to rise.There was a thud behind her and she turned, Sebastian walked over and held a flask up "Don't forget the blood"She held the heart up and dripped the blood in, Sebastian then closed it and held it to her."And the sk
"What will you do from here on? Rebecca has your blood and the skull, Rachel is moments away from being revived" Lynette said.Danté looked at her, then brushed over the scar Rebecca gave him, that moment her hand clasped his heart he felt everything, all her sorrow and pain.Two mothers lost, her life upside down thanks to the Silver cross... Danté felt no hate towards him, it was merely a misperception caused by that compulsion.Then her father, slamming her in a cage... Rebecca was hurt, she only wanted a family, she wanted a normal life, it was a feeling she has hit to the world, a secret she has kept, Villa Du Bois has given her something like it, but that's all in the past.He looked into the sky, the stars sparkled their shimmering light down millions of miles away, lines drawn between them as guides, a compass to those who know what to look for."There is the thing I can do, and then there is the thing I want to do" he said looking down
Asena came in and embraced Tala "I can't believe you got killed"Tala laughed "That sounded odd, considering you can't say that to a person who is alive"The two parted and looked at Danté."Thank you" Tala said "I had so many things I still wanted to do""I know, I felt it in your soul adrift, my Queen, do you know where Vlad is buried?"Tala frowned "Yes, why?""I need him""Can you bring him back? He ashed up?"Danté knew he ashed Lynette up, and if Guinevere could do it, so could he."Leave it to me"She looked at Asena, clearly worried."Please my Queen, we need to go, Asena, I want you and these three men to head to Svalbard, if Rachel rises I need her to stay there, and not fly off to go kill any innocent person"Asena nodded "I have just one question""Yes?""I've heard, even seen the fey's ability to return life to a dead one, but it comes at a great cost"Danté knew it, the ulti
Vlad stood up and looked at Danté, then at Victor and Mishka, the only two who seemed on edge about him being out of that grave."Who brought me back?" He asked."I did" Danté said."You don't seem to fear me..." Vlad said looking around "I gather that wolf is still alive?""And she's Queen""Blasphemy""Is it? Human..." Danté mocked him."Human!?" He yelled feeling is neck "How!?""It's my gift, and I brought you back because Rachel is also being revived"Vlad shook "Rachel!?""I want you to help me stop her""You idiot! Rachel has lost her mind! She is not sane! I cannot stop her, not now that I'm a human!""I need you only to calm her, leave the rest to me" Danté said."Futile, you will die, she will probably kill me too""Will she?"Vlad glared at Danté."Did she love you?""She... Did""Do you love her?""Make no mistake about that!""Then
It started with the thrashing during her sleep, then the deranged demeanor, wanting more and more blood every day, Vlad knew it wasn't wise for Rachel to have some of Asena's blood, but what could he do? He loved Rachel enough to allow her that exquisite taste.She started isolating herself from Vlad, not even spending much time with Victor, the boy realized this, he noticed his mother changed since she had Asena's blood.Hannah was standing outside the door of their room one night listening to them fight, she heard her father's good intentions by trying to help her, but Rachel wanted nothing of it.She quickly stepped aside when the footsteps came to the door and it burst open, Vlad came out and saw her worried face."Be at ease my child, she will be better soon""Yes pappa" she said and he left.She watched him vanish around a corner then looked at the door, she slowly opened it and found Rachel on her bed again, her back to the door."Mamma?" Sh
Danté felt the disturbances rising through the very air around them, it wasn't because he could see the lines in the sky or feel the life surrounding them like a feeling, it was more Rebecca now, somehow she was in danger, but it was uncertain.He looked up to the sky, the stars said nothing to him, merely the direction thanks to the southern cross... The Cross...He hated it now, although feeling of hate hurt him, like a stab to his heart, he couldn't hate anything after his mother's light has consumed him."Vlad, we need to go, the fate of the world is about to be decided""You make that sound rather horrible""For once I your life think of doing something good for man kind! You walk among them now after all! I'll admit I wasn't the purest of souls, but here and now I'd like to make a difference!" Danté yelled at him.Vlad still thought this boy an absolute fool, but he rose to his feet, the very fact that Tala, an omega werewolf, has ma
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
