Excitement flooded her heart as Skyler stood in awe at the castle towering into the clouds in front of her, never in her life would she have thought to ever be here, considering the fact that she merely saw it on a randomly discovered photo taken by a satellite.

With her was Hannah and Roman taking the lead over this search, Lia and Bruce stood one side, and of course Asena with an agitated gaze over the greystone red roof tile building, she last being here during the wedding.

"Where do we start?" Roman asked.

Skyler couldn't hold herself in "I need to scan the entire castle, I hope they will give us permission?"

"Let's find out" Roman said heading up the stairs.

Now being a tourist attraction a table sat just right of the door serving as a reception desk, an old lady sat there and smiled at them.

"Came to see the castle?" She asked.

Asena didn't recognise her, she must be new.

"Yes, but please allow us here for the day, only us, we will make

    On that same road to Lultin Danté thought about Rebecca again, he hasn't seen her yet and according to what he could understand she was now a werewolf, it made him wonder if she would have trouble coping with her two sides?Looking around made it clear to Danté Alister might have overstepped, the snowy surroundings lit up by the still proudly full moon and as much as he wanted to see Rebecca, he didn't want to get eaten by her."They are still wolves, maybe we should wait until dawn?" He asked but Alister only held a hand up."Drakkon" he said and a sparkle of blue emitted from his palm, then Danté saw amazed a tiny dragon form of ice and crawl around in his hand "If merely listening to the word didn't tell you it means dragon, you know now""What kind of magic is this? Is it similar to a warlock?" Danté asked.Amber couldn't resist and brought her hand over from the back seats."Drakania" she said and a tiny dragon of fire a

    Alister led the group into the small town but the very idea that this might as well be a wolf cave they're entering hung like a cold wet towel over Danté's shoulders, he subconsciously drew his coat back and placed a hand on his revolver."Let hang that arm" Alister said looking back "We don't indicate hostility, that's how you die the quickest here, no one touches a weapon"Danté swallowed softly and closed his coat again, even swallowing made him worry about doing it too loud."You're on edge" Villa said."Of course, see this as the valley of wolves, and this is the den"Suddenly one landed in front of them snarling, Alister recognised him as Alexander and held his hands up "We come in peace""With two silver hunters!? I can practically smell the blasted silver on them!""Alex! We came to ask your help!" Alister said loudly as more wolves landed all around them, some appearing in the windows of abandoned buildings."Help with w

    Both men braced but Daniel's expected fast launch landed on an expecting Danté's jaw, strength, Danté knew he would have it, and flying through the air gave him a quick moment to assess how fast he needed to move in order to stay ahead.Ghouls are the least dangerous, but still deadly, and using every ounce of his strength and speed dripped in adrenaline, that's what he needed to use.Crashing into the snow he barreled back to his feet and dove sideways to avoid Daniel's football charge, as he passed Danté readied again, it wasn't about landing fists or kicks, this was about exploiting the weakness of a body drained of blood, all Danté needed to do was prevent him from attempting to suck his blood, but that attempt would cost Daniel, it was something Danté waited for him to do."Stand still you bastard!" Daniel yelled coming over fists lifted.'Not yet' Danté thought lifting his own fists, Daniel wanted to fight, and a fi

    Nothing beats a good cup of tea, even though Skyler is a vampire that didn't mean her taste for other things vanished, and across from her it seems Annette was to same, her eyes closes as she savored the hot organic tea."So if you're here to protect a secret you don't know of, what does that imply? Do you think Ray didn't trust you?" Skyler kicked off.Annette shook her head "It was never about trust, more like... Embarrassment I think, I saw it in his eyes when he and Tala left""Why?""It's their secret to keep I suppose""Do you maybe? Know if it leads to reasons why Ray and Tala gave their girl away?"Annette's eyes went wide "You knew?""Villa Du Bois told me of the day they approached her with Rebecca, they said it's in Rebecca's best interests to be with another hybrid""Did Villa teach her of how to be one?" Annette asked but Skyler shook her head."Villa wanted her to live a normal life, she was capable of course, but then the h

    "Its not much, but make yourself comfortable" Alexander said and threw more logs on the fire.Danté kept an eye out over Tiffany, she took quite the turn for the better but now being a vampire might be the true reason he doesn't trust her."Back when the round table was first established things went south thanks to Guinevere" Alister said sitting down on a ragged couch "It wasn't her fault, she was beautiful, but couldn't decide who to choose, Arthur or Lancelot, it caused friction between the two and they couldn't see eye to eye any longer.But not long after that Vlad stepped into the room making the entire table stand on guard, he only held his hands up, and begged for help"Villa frowned "He... Begged?"Alister looked at her and smiled "Ah yes, huntress, you know only the kind half of Rachel, you never knew what really happened between her and Vlad do you?""I heard she lost to the taste of blood?""No! She was completely in control, the

    Hannah stood up and smiled, she at first didn't say why but none the less Roman waited for her to elaborate her sudden excitement.She turned to him and clasped her hands "Though dear Skyler's intentions were pure I feel she might have helped us more than she thinks""What do you mean Hannah?" He asked standing up."I know it was an adventure for her to find Rachel's tomb, and by all means I wanted to give her the pleasure of finding it... But unfortunately I couldn't help overhear their conversation"Asena stood closer "You know Annette won't let you""Ah~ Dear Asena, so you have overheard it as well""Overhead what!?" Roman asked.Hannah lifted a finger smiling broadly "Somewhere in this castle there is a study that belonged to Victor, in there lies many secrets"Roman looked up the stairs, he for one didn't hear the two women talk, they must be far in, but that seems not to have bothered Hannah and Asena, their supernatural hearing reached

    Bruce stood away from the door and broadened his shoulders to her "Countess, so you have arrived?"Annette knew if this man stood outside those in the study had confidence he would be enough to stop her or keep her out, how wrong they were."Step aside..." Annette said still very slowly approaching with an intimidating glare in her eyes."Unfortunately I cannot young miss, I have been asked to keep you out, and I will be more than glad if you stayed here upon my request, we do not need to draw blood, these carpets are too fine to be spoiled""Last warning... Step–! Aside–!""My deepest apologies" he said widening his stance.Annette couldn't smell vampire or wolf in him, it meant he's a wizard or a warlock, so speed it is then, a ball of fire can only travel so fast, and Ray has shown her how fast she should move in order to outmaneuver lightning, the two most basic assault spells a warlock uses against a vampire, lightning to stun, fi

  • Hunter and the Hybrid princess   Dark and heartless

    Asena has seen that face before, that evil grin of Hannah Vladimir, she was the tip of the heartless knife ready to pierce first and always wanted to end it quick by piercing all the way through, her enemies were nothing to her, unlike Vlad who had respect for the living, he respected a good warrior even if that warrior fell to his sword.Asena remembers how sometimes Vlad would even bury his fallen foes, give them a respectful grave, driving the man's sword as a tombstone into the head of the grave as an honor, and leaving with words of kindness like "I have enjoyed my fight with you, I shall remember you until the day my life is ripped from me"Did Vlad remember them all? The day he died did he call the names if the fallen warriors before him? Or did he think of Rachel in his last seconds as he descended to Hell?Whatever went through his mind at his last, Hannah was not him, his daughter yes, but it was because of Hannah and Rachel Vlad was so desperate he went int

    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

  • Hunter and the Hybrid princess   A future with me

    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
