Alpha White listened patiently to Lucas' narration of the events that happened last night until he finished. A lot had really happened over the past few hours and he dealt ruthlessly with Dracula.
"Now I understand the link between the vampire killings and Nicole", Alpha White said.
"Your killings were not discreet though, the entire human population of the city were aware of it. They were aware that vampires were not mythical creatures but are real and that is not good for us or for them", he said.
"Did you ever wonder what happened to the bodies of the fallen vampires you slayed? Do you know why the humans are all indoors as we speak?", he asked.
Lucas hadn't yet thought about that, all he thought ab
"Unfortunately I asked her a question she has the answers too, that is why she is crying", Lucas said.Andrew looked confused at Lucas."Why would a simple question make Mildred cry so much and if it made her uncomfortable why did he insist on bothering her with it?", he thought."Can she not answer the question?", he asked Lucas."She has too. Mildred was about answering something really important when you knocked on the door", Lucas said. He turned his attention to her, so she could go ahead.Mildred had no choice but to go on. If she ever wanted Lucas to trust her again she had to tell him the whole truth or risk him heari
"I want to apologise on behalf of Mildred to you Lucas and to your brothers; Mark and Andrew", Alpha White said, resuming his conversation with Lucas."I also want to specially apologise to Nicole for what Mildred did and also for her losses. I can see she means a lot to the three of you and so she does to me too", he said. Alpha White didn't really care so much about Nicole, he had no reason to. He was just meeting her for the first time and barely knew anything about her until now. All he cared about was Mildred, his werewolf park and the Vampire hybrids."Thank you Alpha White. Your apology on behalf of Mildred is accepted", Lucas said."I am sure Nicole will forgive her in future but she has to earn it by not doing anything that can harm her or put her in d
Lucas returned back to the living room where the others were. His thought had gone back to Mildred and why her behaviour was unsettling. It appeared she was remorseful about what she did as she approached him."Lucas, how is Nicole? Will she be alright?", Mildred asked, looking up at him.Lucas looked at her, wondering if her good intention now towards Nicole was really genuine."The worst has passed, she is a tough girl, she will be fine", he said. If she could survive the events of the last few hours and was still standing strong she could survive this too."Can I see her and personally apologise to her?", Mildred asked, pleading."I wish yo
Ambrosia and Mary made the way quickly through the streets. They had stayed for about 2 hours at the restaurant but they decided it was time they hit the road and kept going.They covered a lot of ground in the empty streets of the city. There were still no souls on the street, vampires or humans. They weren't on the look out for werewolves, they felt sure there would be none too. A battle between vampires and werewolves was going to have great casualties and the werewolves were far fewer than the vampires, meaning it will affect their numbers more. But that didn't account for the vampire hybrids. If they were involved then the tables would turn drastically in favour of the werewolves. The large numbers of the vampires were not a problem to the vampire hybrids, they would simply cut the vampires to size.Ambrosia and Ma
Almost 2 weeks had passed since Lucas rescued Nicole from Dracula and the vampire hierarchy. Nicole had moved some of her things to Lucas' apartment and was now staying permanently with him. The city had returned back to normal and everywhere was as it used to be.Lucas had just wrapped up his first movie and was on his way with his brothers to pick up Nicole from the tattoo shop. He was the one driving their luxury sedan, while his brothers sat at the back. The front passenger seat was reserved for Nicole. Lucas had recovered his car that same day and had brought it back safely to his residence.They arrived shortly at the Tattoo shop Nicole worked in. Lucas was extra happy today, happy because he had completed his first movie and also because he had a big announcement to make tonight.
Nicole made her way up to the 50th floor riding the elevator with Lucas, Mark and Andrew. When they arrived, she was the first to walk out of the elevator. Usually it was Lucas who led the way but today Lucas didn't feel like he allowed her to walk in front and he walked slightly behind her. Nicole kind of liked it, it was good for her to take the lead sometimes plus she felt Lucas wanted to stay behind to get a good view of her, to admire her even more.She had a spare key to the apartment and as she approached the front door, she brought it out from her handbag and placed it into the keyhole. She was about to unlock the door with the key when she heard lucas' voice from behind."I love you", he whispered to her, smiling."I love you too", Nicole whispered bac
Ambrosia and Mary had finally settled down to life in the central part of the city. They had looked for one of the best and most secure residential buildings in this part of the city and had settled for the high rise luxury building the vampire hybrids lived in but unknowingly to them. They were staying on the 10th floor. They chose that floor for many reasons. From the 10th floor above, you could rent the entire space of your floor without having to share it with anyone, so that meant they had a lot of privacy. Also if there was a need to escape from the building in case there was a threat to their lives they could still jump from the 10th floor and survive. Whatever wounds they sustained would not be fatal because of the height and their bodies would heal themselves in seconds to minutes. Life had been good to them for the 2 weeks they had stayed here."Later tonight I will go
Dracula had converged at the edge of his territory as he had been instructed to do. He was not alone. He came with all his new 6 Generals; Apollo, Jones, Tasha, Matthias, Kim and Cleopatra. He didn't know if she would show up tonight at midnight as she had earlier planned 2 weeks ago. He waited in the darkness of the night, only the full moon illuminating the night.It was now a quarter past midnight and Dracula had lost faith she would be coming as planned."The witch has not showed up as expected. Well I am not surprised, she never meant to help us anyways", Dracula said, as he took one final look around his surroundings. Suddenly he saw a lady approaching them from out of the blue. Her footsteps were totally silent, which was weird considering she was supposed to be walking on dead fallen leaves.
When Lucas arrived at Mildred's house, he could hear her quietly sobbing inside the living room. The door was not shut, it was kept half way open. Mildred apparently was expecting Lucas to come after her. Because she was crying Lucas pleaded with Nicole not to come inside with him to not aggravate the situation even more but he allowed her to stay close enough to the door to hear everything that was going to be said. Lucas knocked gently and went in. "Why are you here with her? To further compound my mystery?!", Mildred asked, not too pleased to see him anymore. "I now know the true reason why you are so upset with Nicole. I wished I had figured it out earlier but I didn't. It took me this long to figure it out but I am sorry I made you suffer", Lucas sa
Dracula had been brutalised by Ambrosia as he got of him, which meant Lucas and his brothers had no more pains to inflict on him but they had one little request before they left."Announce that all vampires in your territory be summoned to court. You have a big announcement to make about Ambrosia and Mary. I am sure your face would have healed up well before they arrived", Lucas said.Dracula's hands were figuratively tied, he was powerless against the vampire hybrids and they were reinforcing their supremacy over him. Dracula gave his General Apollo the go ahead to summon the vampire originals. Apollo was now a shadow of his former self as he had lost all his courage seeing how Ambrosia dealt with Dracula mercilessly and he didn't retaliate for fear of the vampire hybrids. Apollo quickly ran and did as he was tol
"Mark please get to Dracula before they get to him", Lucas said calmly looking at Mark. The chaos was soon going to get to him and he didn't want him to leave until he was ready for him to."Consider it done!", Mark said, as he zoomed off in superspeed. Dracula had no chance of escaping him."Andrew, please seal off all the exits out of this place. Nobody goes out or comes in with my consent", Lucas said."I got it covered!", Andrew said, as he zoomed off in supermood and did exactly as he was told until the whole fortress was secured. No vampire was able to leave because of how fast he was at shutting the doors.Mark and Andrew now had everything covered as Lucas, Nicole, Ambrosia and Mary made their way slow
It was dawn the next day and Lucas was ready to make good his promise to Ambrosia and Mary. He also had other things he needed to accomplish. He knew the truth about how Mildred felt about him and needed to make things straight with her. He had done a lot of thinking through the night and his amazing brain and pieced together why things didn't go according to plan for her. As always Lucas was going to be going with his brothers to Dracula's territory and Nicole would come along with him as well.They were all ready and dressed. Lucas and his brothers had worn their black outfits as if they were going vampire hunting and Andrew was with his small backpack where their masks were kept. Nicole equally wore her favourite colour black to match with those of her fiance and his brothers. They all looked attractive and fierce as they stepped out of the apartment with Lucas holding on to
"But does that mean we won't stop hiding from the vampire hierarchy? Dracula doesn't know we are with you", Ambrosia said. He knew he and his wife could not tag along with the vampire hybrids everywhere they were going to. It was practically impossible, so when the vampire hybrids were not with them how will they be safe?"I'll have that taken care of tomorrow. I'll inform Dracula and his vampires that you are now under my protection. You are now my friend, whatever happens to you or Mary he will answer to me", Lucas said.Ambrosia looked surprised at him. Lucas had just spoken as if he knew and had spoken one on one with Dracula."Oh thank you Lucas, thank you so much. I can come with you when you go to meet him to direct you to his lair", he offered.
Lucas learnt all he could about Ambrosia and Mary as they stayed in their apartment and one thing that stood out for him was that he was the bridge connecting all of them together. He was the link between the witch, the werewolves, the vampire and even the humans. He understood all of them perfectly and he could be the key that could change everything.Lucas had never thought about his role in that light before until now. What he learnt from Mildred was that he was at the top of the food chain and others below them didn't really matter so much.Ambrosia had lived a long life and there was a lot he could learn even from a supposed enemy. Nicole was supposed to be his enemy too as a vampire but through her he learnt how to control his urge to feed on vampires and how to rather drink human blood bags.&
It is now past midnight and again Lord Dracula and a few of his generals have convened at the neutral zone between their territories. Mildred once again kept them waiting as she played her mind games."I hope the others are in place?", Dracula asked. With him was Mathias, Kim and Tasha. Apollo, Cleopatra and Jones had all gone into hiding trying to figure out the hiding spot of Mildred."Yes Lord Dracula", Matthias said. All they were waiting for now was for the witch to show up and she did."Good, you could finally make it and join us!", Dracula said excitedly.Mildred smiled at him. She was still in her translucent form. Her physical body was somewhere else and she was communicating from there
"Do you know who she is?", Lucas said, as he bent some inches away from them, so he was at eye level with them and looked into their eyes just in case they planned to lie to him. If they were truly out to harm Nicole they would try to pull a surprise strike on him, seeing only a few inches separating them or they would try to lie directly to his face. Whichever possibility it was Lucas was prepared for them all."No, we don't. We have never seen her before now!", Ambrosia said, scared to even look Lucas in the face. He had the aura of death surrounding him."And what about you?", Lucas turned, facing the female vampire Mary."Please I do not know her!", Mary begged, almost in tears. She was still holding tightly and pulling on Ambrosia's shirt.
Lucas and Nicole were coming back from the apartment after having a nice time together. They had spent their evening in the central park of the city taking in nature and enjoying each other's warm company. It's been barely over 24 hours since Lucas proposed to Nicole and she had accepted his proposal to marry him. They had fixed their wedding for the following weekend, something lovely but private. Just the 2 of them with Mark and Andrew. Nicole would have loved Angela to come with them but she was nowhere to be found.As they walked into the building hand in hand, both of them happy and smiling, Lucas picked up a strong euphoric smell on the first floor. He was already used to the smell of Nicole, this couldn't be her. He let his sense of smell guide him to his targets and when he opened his eyes he saw two couples ahead of them making their way to the elevator.
