Nicole arrived at past 9 PM just outside the high rise building Lucas and his brothers lived in. She drove down to his place and parked some distance away from his building.
She took some deep breaths in the car that she was in. She was nervous to see him but because she was afraid of him but because she hoped things would work out well tonight between them.
It was now the moment of truth as she stepped out of her car looking as elegant as ever before in her all black outfit. She wore a black short bodycon gown that made her figure striking and made her pleasurable to behold. She wanted to make a lasting impression on Lucas tonight when he sees her.
She walked elegantly to the entrance of the building as she made her way to the elevator. The security guar
Lucas was really having a good time. He had only spent about 30 minutes into the party when he and his brothers were served human blood bags.Lucas was really shocked and amazed at the same time."How did you know we needed this?", he asked the werewolf that brought the bags to them."It was all her idea", he said pointing at Mildred."Wow, thanks!", he said to the werewolves as he dropped the bags of blood with the tray he brought with it on their table.He looked at her again impressed and so did his brothers."She is really thoughtful", Mark commented, seeing how well she understood them and was
The party was going along well. Alpha White and her Luna Arya had officially tied the knot as part of the celebrations and everyone was loving it.Alpha White and his Luna were given the dance floor to dance their first dance as husband and wife, it was a truly beautiful and romantic scene. It was the first time in a long time the park will be seeing Alpha White dance such a romantic dance. His previous Luna had died many decades ago after she fell seriously ill. Alpha White had decided at some point not to consider remarrying because he still missed her and for many years it continued like that but with the battle with the vampires, the werewolf population of his pack was at an all time low, at a critical point that they had to quickly increase their population numbers. Alpha White remarried again partly for that and partly because he liked Arya.
Nicole had made herself comfortable and at home inside of the penthouse of Lucas and his brothers. She had been waiting for 2 hours now and still there was no sign of him anywhere. She was still patient, hopeful he would show up any time soon, as she looked outside his panoramic view to see if she could spot him on the ground. But she couldn't, it was too dark for her to make out his form properly even if she saw him.An idea popped into her head as she laid back idly on the bed and she quickly got up with excitement. She quickly rushed to the front door and made her way back to the elevator.She hoped she still had enough time to execute her plan before Lucas arrived. She entered the elevator and punched the number 1 which would take her down to the first floor. The elevator seems slower than before in going down but Nicole kn
The party was still jamming past midnight. Lucas and his brothers had concluded that they would not be returning back to their apartment tonight. They were enjoying the atmosphere and it would leave a bad impression if they left now.Lucas had moved around the party, meeting and greeting people. He had acquainted himself more with them this way when they were more relaxed due to the party. So far he liked everything he knew about the werewolves and the witches.Mildred met up with him as he was still moving around."Are you going to still be leaving tonight?", she said looking at her time. She hoped to persuade him to spend the night here if he insisted on leaving tonight."No, my brothers and I have agreed we won't
Nicole had been awake in the penthouse expecting the phone to ring any minute to alert her of Lucas' arrival but it seemed she had been waiting in vain. She had sat in the living room with her flower on one hand and her complimentary card in the other awaiting his return.The time was now 2 AM and still no phone call and no sign of Lucas anywhere. Nicole's big night surprise to Lucas was now beginning to turn to a big disappointment for her. She went and placed the flower in a flower vase to preserve it till tomorrow. She also placed the complimentary card by the side of the flower vase."Where can you possibly be?", Nicole said out loud in frustration. She couldn't wait any longer in the living room as she went back to Lucas' bed to lie on it.She caught sight again of the
Lucas, Mark and Andrew accompanied by Mildred made their way out of the werewolves territory where once again Lucas needed to carry Mildred in his arm as he prepared to enter superspeed mode."Are you ready", he said to her, fully securing her in his bosom."Yes I am", she said quietly. She was feeling a bit shy as she wrapped her hands around his neck."Brace yourself", he said, as he began the count down to 3."3, 2, 1, go!", he said, as he and his brothers entered a superspeed mood in a flash before arriving a few seconds later at the edge of the woods."Are you okay?", Lucas asked her, still holding her in his arms.
"Hello Nicole, good to see you again", Mark and Andrew said, walking inside the apartment as they briefly hugged her and went in. Mildred was standing beside Lucas still staring at Nicole as she figured out who she was. She wasn't even a human, she was a vampire and she felt so much disgust for her. Nicole looked at her, her last words still ringing in her ears - "he was with me". She looked at Lucas for a clue but Lucas was also looking at her too, so she turned her attention back to her. "Hello I'm Nicole, have we met before?", she introduced herself first before asking her to be sure. "I know who you are but you don't know who I am", Mildred said with authority.
Mildred couldn't believe the vampire hybrids were friends with a vampire and had her even stay in their apartment especially the Alpha hybrid after the deadly devastation they brought on Dracula and his vampire army at the battlefield.Now she watched in anguish as he picked her up in his bosom and led her to his bedroom, something she imagined only her would have the privilege to be in the arms of the hybrid.She could see how Mark and Andrew were also in support of him as they didn't caution or stop him or even kill the female vampire, they had even greeted and hugged her in her presence.All of this was happening too fast for her to make any sense of it, it was as if she was having a terrible nightmare and wished to watch up from it.
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.
