“Umf!” Claudia groaned in pain when her face landed on the soggy ground. She thought she was successful enough to teleport herself before she fell from the bridge, but she missed the part that ‘falling’ was inevitable. A cry escaped her lips before raising her head and wiped the sludge off her face, cursing the young knight in her mind. “That little prick just pushed me. I could have had a better landing if he didn’t. Aish!” She squatted on the strand, her white robe turned black while few parts remained clean. It was all thanks to the rain, the mud won’t stick longer on the fabric.
“My lord... wait for me,” Claudia muttered, she stood and headed towards Sebastian’s mansion. She felt weak. After using too much energy on making a perfect copy of Latina’s essence and having been taken by a werewolf in his mouth, exhaustion was an understatement to describe her. Plus, she offered her blood to save Seth from poison. “I’ll certainly finish what we have started even
Several miles away from the southern borders of the empire, there was a kingdom ruled by the three Alphas of the beasts; the white alpha of the werewolves, the red alpha of the werelions, and the blue alpha of the weretigers. Joining their forces and preparing to start a war against the blood tribe or known as the vampire race. Mountains have always surrounded the Vacil Empire - a haven for vampires. It was beneficial for the people’s safety against intruders. That, if the infiltrators were humans who just want to rob the empire’s territories. But for the beast tribe, it was their playing ground. They were naturally adept with nature. Just like how the werewolf alpha got in the vampire’s lord territory in the midst of a vast forest and stole his woman. “She’s a goddess,” Mathew, the white alpha whispered to himself, looking at Latina’s sleeping face. It was a rough journey, but he managed to return to his palace. The lady was unconscious
The orange glowing lights from the setting sun, reflecting on the mirror inside, blinded Latina. She blinked several times before shutting her eyes. She felt relieved when Azrene closed the windows. “You have little time to decide,” Azrene said, walking back to where Latina sat. She took a hairbrush and combed Latina’s hair. “It’s difficult to escape once you're here. If you help me, I’ll take care of you in return,” she went on. “What do you need me to do for you?” Latina asked. She only hoped to get free of anyone’s grasp. Little did she know that she’d fall in someone else's arms after running away from Sebastian. “I can’t promise anything unless I know what you want,” she added, eyeing the girl through the mirror. “I want freedom,” the green-eyed girl answered. She stopped brushing Latina’s hair and stared back right to her eyes. “If you agree to bring me with you to escape, I’ll do what I can to keep you safe
“I love you,” Mathew repeated, waiting for her response, but Latina's lips were sealed. She couldn't open them to say something. His words burst inside her head. 'Speechless? Don't you long for someone to love you back?' Latina's subconscious asked. She ignored her as usual, listening to her meant more headache. Sighing, Mathew picked up the garment and put it back on her. “Don't think about it too much,” he said and gave her a peck on the cheek. “I decided not to force you. I'll give you a few more days to consider it,” Mathew added and headed to the exit, stark naked. Latina thought the man was planning to leave, but it surprised her when he opened the door to let someone in. First, it was a tall and slender woman with her beautiful tan skin and wavy overlong hair. Followed by a petite lady with fair peel and short brown hair. They were both gorgeous. Mathew locked the door and the women removed their clothes, le
With arms spread and legs tied together, Latina endured the uncomfortable position. She couldn’t lay down. The chains connected to the cuffs were too short, only letting her sit. She watched the alpha romancing his women, molding his palms on each lady's curves, groping their bumpy parts simultaneously. Latina sighed, after witnessing the unfolding event, she was right to join hands with Azrene and flee from this place. A loud moan caught her attention. When she checked it out, she found the long-haired girl pressed on the couch. Her legs were stretched, and Mathew was rubbing the tip of his penis on her womanhood. She rolled her eyes heavenward when the alpha plunged himself inside her; he held her limbs to spread them wider. The sound of their slapping skin got louder as Mathew pounded her harder. The lady’s sun-kissed skin was covered in sweat as the alpha’s hips traveled faster, nailing her sweet spot. “Ah… Ah… Ah…” she went when he lifted her legs on his
After the spell lost its effect, Sebastian was too furious to hold himself back. Claudia received a beating and was almost killed by the vampire lord if not for Rupert who had the final blow for her. The doctor was lucky to survive the fatal attack. Sebastian only went back to his senses when he realized that he was about to kill his friend. With Latina gone and Claudia’s scheme, he had it rough. He locked himself in his chamber, wondering what he should do next. His friend left with his mate and the boy, leaving Sebastian dazed. Ignoring the fact that Rupert, who was interested in Claudia, took the lady with him. He didn't condemn his friend nor wanted to fault him at all, after realizing that he was the one who broke the rules of taking someone else's mate- taboo for vampires and even for other immortal races. Sebastian knew that he needed to be prepared to face the consequences. The damage was done and there’s no way to change everything back to how it was.
Claudia’s pale face turned red and Rupert’s laughter filled the place. He pinched the lady’s cheeks before lifting her. While the latter mumbled incoherent words until they reached the bath. Slowly, Rupert put her in the water and joined her afterward. They both sealed their mouths for a moment until he broke the silence. “How’s the temperature?” he asked when he saw her flinching. Claudia raised her head and answered, “It’s fine, though quite painful for my wounds.” Rupert tilted his skull to the side and pulled the lady closer to him. “I forgot to take off my pants and you still have your robe on. Why don’t we remove them?” He hid his smile when the lady turned her gaze away. “I told you I’ll help you recover, but we require you to have physical contact. Just like taking a bath together,” he said, leaving the other speechless. Of course, he knew what was going on inside Claudia’s head. “Y-y
“Why isn't she waking up?" Latina heard the alpha's voice but kept her eyes shut. She doesn't want to see the guy. "Sire, she's exhausted. She was chained and was forced to watch something she must have not seen before," a girl replied. It was Azrene's voice. "I suggest you stay away from her in the meantime. If you continue being aggressive, your future relationship will end up messy." Latina tried not to flinch when someone held her hand. It was a thick, calloused hand. "She will be mine," the alpha said and kissed the back of her palm. "Monitor her. I must go to the empire. And don't forget to inform her about the wedding ceremony. We must do it sooner than scheduled." "As you wish, Sire. Have a safe trip," Azrene bid her goodbye. The sound of the shutting door made Latina exhale. She opened her eyes and found the girl looking problematic. "You're awake," Azrene muttered while closing the
The round moon quietly shone in the sky, surrounded by the sea of stars. With its humble light reaching the earth, as the lullaby played at midnight, putting everyone to sleep. "Hah!" Latina gasped for air. She sat and looked around the place. It was dark, and she seemed to be alone. "Azrene..." she whispered. The girl promised her to stay in the room and patiently wait but it was getting late. She had already awakened for the second time and yet found no one inside her room other than herself. 'Did something happen to her?' Latina asked herself. She shrugged the thought and tried to be more optimistic about the situation. Latina shivered when she felt the cold breeze coming from outside. "The window’s open," she muttered while hugging herself. "I closed it earlier," she added."Ah!" She screamed when her eyes darted on the silhouette of a man standing in front of the window. Latina couldn't see his face but his fra
In the Northern part of the Vacil Empire, there was a specific region where the temperature never rises despite season changing. The cold was dreadfully unbearable. It was known as the snow paradise for the snow never stop falling throughout the year but for few, it was accurate to be called the hell’s gate. There was a legend about hundreds of years ago, about the blood demon king who emerged from the snowy ground in the north. His skin was as pale as snow while his hair was the opposite, as it was black like the starless midnight sky. With eyes as clear as the frozen ice, he looked ethereal. Walking in the ice desert, barefooted, his crimson blood tarnished the pure white surface. It was said that he rose from hell to create a world where demons, humans, and other races coexist. He wandered to different lands with nothing but his cursed blood which possessed great power. In his journey, he met people whom he shared his b
The nightmare was over. Thanks to the holy celestials who stopped the war that almost caused the empire's destruction. They distributed healing potions to those who were injured and with the gods' blessings, they were able to revive those who were killed. But the said revival of the dead was only for humans who were involved in the dispute between the vampires and beasts. Ezekiel, the messenger of the gods and goddesses, had to wipe the memories of the bloody war from the human’s mind, to protect the peace. He believed that if humans knew nothing about the existence of other races among them, as long as the blood and beast tribe avoid causing conflicts to one another that will harm the mortals, they could live their daily lives without fear.Ezekiel was meticulous when doing his job, it was almost a complete perfection like nothing happened if not for the bloodstains that could be seen here and there. It made the
The elders were almost done subjugating the beasts intruders in the capital. The potion that Claudia made helped them a lot, although, the number of casualties was more than what they expected. Those who have the ability to heal others started to spread out to help. One person came to their mind when they found out a lot of survivors but were severely injured. Rupert Millavo. The only person that could possibly treat all the injured at that moment, it should be him. Aside from learning medicine, he was known for treating patients with a hundred percent chance of living. After he captured the main threat and the mastermind behind the beasts attack, Cisto went to the hospital to check on the doctor. He was expecting Rupert to be tending on the patient and couldn't believe when he actually saw him fighting against an alpha."Oh, this redhead was here all along then?" Cisto muttered when he recognized Rupert's opponent. They wer
The blue sky was suddenly covered by thick, humongous clouds. Even the proud sun left no trace of its light. Thunders roared above as flashes of lightning crossed in the dark sky. There was no sign of rain or a storm coming. It was more like a bad omen befallen on earth.“It’s a bad idea to leave the cave,” Seth said while stopping Latina from leaving. After she gave the baby a name, she started to get panicky.“No, we should leave immediately. I could hear them coming. It’s dangerous if they find out about Victoria,” Latina argued. Hugging the baby in her arms, she walked out of the cave. The wind was strong, but she made sure that her baby was safe.“Who are they? If you want to leave then we should head back to the lord’s mansion,” the knight suggested.
It was midday. The bright sunlight reached the interior of the cave through the small cracks above. The thick fog earlier in the dawn was gone. The sparrows in the wild started to hunt for insects to eat after several minutes of singing. Life went on outside the cave while a new life was expected to bloom inside. On the contrary, countless victims lose their lives in Buscia City. The war was still going forward and between the sharp fangs of death, humans perished one after another.Seth was breathing loudly while leaning his back on the cave wall. He fell asleep after scooping Latina from the ground when she slumped down while crying. He had no idea why the lady was suddenly emotional. Comforting wasn’t his forte. Afraid to say the wrong thing that might worsen her mood, he offered his shoulder to leaned on, and she cried silently until she was tired. Latina dozed off. She was sound asleep when she felt a stinging pai
Chaos. A word that best described the bloody scene. Men and women, children, and old, they cried, begged, and desperately prayed to be spared. The once lively capital turned into a lake of blood. Corpses were everywhere and it kept increasing. Some were intact while most of them were ripped, smashed, and with missing parts. The stench smell of blood was all over the place.The special soldier led by Tyler rampaged. They killed anyone they see breathing. Pulled their guts out from their body, sliced their head and limbs off without blinking an eye. “Go get them all!” The blue alpha ordered. He was sitting on a bench while watching those around him plead for mercy. ‘Too bad… if I couldn’t kill the strongest then I’ll eradicate the weak first,’ he thought. His leisure time ended when he was pinned down on the ground. He felt a strong force pulling him from below.
The sun was at its highest peak. Coming towards the southern borders of the Vacil empire, hordes of raging beasts was approaching. Led by their respective alphas, the beast warriors lined up in an open field, approximately ten kilometers away from the empire, beyond the mountain ranges, waiting for the signal to attack. While the secret soldiers of the Wyslien kingdom have already begun their sneak attacks earlier than planned. Composed of the best fighters from different packs, under the direct command of the blue alpha, Tyler, they started their mission: To eliminate vampires as much as possible.For the citizens of the empire, specifically in Buscia city, it was yet another day to live. Without knowing about the upcoming disaster, people started their daily activities. The vendors opened their stalls first thing in the morning, hoping for a bountiful sell for the day. Store owners and other large establishments had their
In the vast night sky, the faint light coming from the stars could be seen. They twinkled alternately every second as they worshiped the serenity of the moon. It was a night to remember for those who were still awake and had witnessed the rare sight. Nah, not because of the magnificent moon and the stars above. Since on that particular night, they weren’t only the jewels of the sky that sparkled. The distance between the sky and the earth seemed to shortened when bolts of colorful lights were swiftly chasing each other in the air. They weren’t falling stars nor meteors which could only land on their specified direction unless they exploded before hitting the ground, or they split into countless fragments and caused a massive ray of lights everywhere. These unique bolts of lights were only the excess waste of energy, turning to flammable dust and resulting to colorful fire when colliding with the kindling temperature in the air due to the strong reaction of the earth&rsqu
The lady in the armor led the way out to the forest with the confused knight in tow. The trees and the mystical heavy air was familiar. Seth stopped on his track and inhaled a lungful air. His brows frowned when he came into one conclusion: The forest was exactly the same as the previous one where he was conversing with the witch.“Damn witch! She tricked me,” he muttered, lifting his head to follow the lady in front. “W-what?” the knight panicked when the lady aimed her sword to him, ready to pierce his eye any minute. ‘What’s wrong with her?’ he asked himself.The lady who called herself ‘Kiera’ glared at him. “I’m used to society’s label but I won’t accept it if someone like you whom we fight for referring to us as witches.” She watched him carefully, waiting for his next move and
