The werewolves were now on neutral ground but they were still racing as fast as they could to the edge of the vampire's territory. They had to be there before Dracula and his vampire army and they were sure they would make it just in time before them.
"Pick up the pace, do not slow down" , Adalwolf said, boosting the morale of the others as they raced at top speed. They had covered a long distance just in a few minutes and were closing in on their destination. As they howled to alert Silas that they were almost nearby.
Dracula heard their howl and knew if they arrived, they would simply pick up Silas and outrun them all. He had to prevent that from ever happening as he once again urged his army to charge forward even faster. They were now only a few hundred metres away from Silas and were gaining in him by the second. He won't
Mildred stood at a distance wondering what could have happened to make Alpha White this grieved. She looked around her for clues as to what could be the cause of it. Everything seemed fine around her, their home wasn't in any form of distress, it was beautiful as always. Her werewolf family seemed to be well and good, everything seemed to be in place and then it dawned on her."Where is Silas?!", she exclaimed worriedly.Her remark drew the attention of everyone including Alpha White. For the first time, he paused his grieving to pay attention to her."Who has seen Silas?!", she exclaimed even more."Silas! Silas! Silas", she called desperately, turning and searching for him.
PRESENT DAYThe night sky looked beautiful with the many spotlights of stars that filled it. It was a perfect night to finally introduce Nicole to Mark and Andrew.Lucas was already in Nicole's apartment. They had spent some time together talking and were now nearing the end of their discussion."You look beautiful, I'll like to take you to my place","So you can see where I stay and meet my brothers for the first time", he said excitedly. His brothers had now mastered their killing instinct around vampires, so Nicole wasn't in any danger meeting with them."Thank you!", she said excitedly. She had waited for this day in a long while, to finally
Lucas led Nicole by the hand as they walked into his apartment. As she walked in, she noticed how beautiful and expensively furnished it was. She wasn't surprised by it, their high rise building was very expensive to live in. As she looked around the empty living room, she heard footsteps approaching from inside the apartment. She could tell they were Lucas brothers. They must have heard them walk in together and were coming to welcome her."I'm nervous", she said smiling to Lucas as his brother's footsteps drew closer."Don't be, they'll love you", Lucas assured.Mark and Andrew were now out and Nicole could now see them both. They started to walk towards the both of them."Hi Lucas", Mark and Andrew greeted as the
Nicole wasn't happy to see Lucas sad. She didn't mean to make him unhappy or upset him."It's okay", she reassured, quickly getting off the counter and walking towards him."I love you for who you are", she said. She didn't love him any less for feeding on her kind even though it was kind of weird she didn't but that was how she felt. She could see the good in him when he was around her and she felt sooner or later he could be that way with other vampires too."I'll introduce you to human blood bags, I have a feeling you will like it too!", she said reassuringly, hugging him.Lucas was glad Nicole didn't think badly of him or suddenly didn't become frightened of him. He would have been devastated if that had h
Angela ran towards him leaving her car running with the headlights on."What's wrong Charles?", she said, sounding like she was about to cry with him. She had bent down and was now kneeling in front of him, both of them now at eye level.Charles couldn't look into her eyes, he was ashamed to let her see him like this; dejected."What's wrong Charles?", she asked again, more worried than the first time. She was also checked if he was hurt in any part of his body but he wasn't."Sir Paul is dead!", he revealed, still in a state of shock."Oh my God!", she said, alarmed as she covered her mouth with both her hands.
Dracula with the help of his generals had succeeded in keeping the truth of their defeat to the vampire hybrids a secret from the entire global vampire hierarchy, in fact he had replaced the 19,000 lost in the ill fated battle with more than 30,000 vampire originals.Now as he stood in front of his generals in the inner chamber, all his thoughts were now directed on how to stop the vampire hybrids."What are the chances of the vampire hybrids launching a surprised assault on us?", Dracula asked all his generals.Katharine, Talon and Vladimir, were the last 3 generals remaining after the death of Cobra, except for Ambrosia who ran away and had since not been seen.They each thought on their own what the likelihood co
Mildred was now getting anxious to see the Alpha hybrid. The days of mourning were now almost over. "He must miss me", she said. "It's been days since he saw me last". "Now that he is calm, he must wish to be close to me", she reasoned. He had every reason too, he had a part of her soul and was surely going to crave her attention. "I just needed not to be where he is", she said, as she got up from the chair she was sitting on. "I need to find a way to sneak out", she said pacing around her bedroom. "I have too",
Mildred could see the Alpha hybrid did not welcome her presence, in fact he was now accusing her of stalking him.His question still rang in her head, as she thought about a response to give."So what do you have to say, how did you know where to find me?", he asked again."I told you before we both share a connection", she said. That was the best excuse she could come with to excuse the fact she was stalking him."It was through our connection, I was able to find you", she revealed.Lucas was unsure if he believed her claims or not but he didn't really care, what he cared about was that she had discovered his secret identity.
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.
