Zachary Wright stood in all his glory in the cell Seraphina used to be kept. He leaned against the hard rocky wall, staring at the drops of blood lying on the floor, drops of blood that he suspected could be hers. She could not be dead, could she? He wondered, leaning off the wall to begin his slow pacing.The cell was not only filthy but also too stuffy to accommodate any form of air which had him wondering how the prisoners had managed to breathe while being trapped. His thoughts disappeared when the door to the cell opened widely, and he turned to see one of his guards standing behind him, head and eyes facing the ground.“What do you have for me?” Zachary asked, placing his hands into the pockets of his very long robe. The guard lifted his head immediately, took a step closer and looked him directly in the eyes.“She is dead.” He muttered simply.Zachary allowed a moment to pass before tilting his head to the side, an action that seemed to have intimidated the guard into looking d
Ethan felt like he was about to go crazy and the punching bags in the training ground was not helping to relieve his stress. Zachary had sent a message to him earlier during the day, warning him about his warrior’s recent attacks on the vampire territory three months ago and promising to come back to finish off the war. It sounded ridiculous that he had gotten the message after three months, making him to wonder what the hell Zachary had been doing all these while just to remember the war all of a sudden.Ethan shook his head, trying to clear off the thoughts of facing the vampires again. It wasn’t as if he was scared of them, afterall he was an alpha, and his wolf could take on as many vampires as he wanted. What he was worried about were his pack members. He was aware that war always left casualties and at the moment he wasn’t ready to lose anyone. Anyone including SeraphinaHe didn’t know what to do about her She had looked him in the eyes days ago, told him that she didn’t feel a
It was the night of the full moon. Serena immediately felt the impact of the moon and even its energy protruding through the window and she felt a weird energy inside of her.I don’t do well with full moons, was all she could think of as she threw the blanket covering her body off her. In fact, most vampires of the obsidian order clan did not do well with the full moon. While the moon gives the werewolves a sense of peace and liberty, it made vampires extremely dangerous. They were usually not able to contain the urge to kill and destroy anything that isn’t like them on nights like this.“And here I am, living in the midst of werewolves.” Seraphina said to herself, groaning out loud in frustration.She stood from her bed immediately and began to pace the room, staring at the door while hoping she could escape for the night. Unlike other vampires, she was one of the people who weren’t violent on such nights but that didn’t mean everybody close to her was safe.The howling and growling
“I’ve told you to get rid of that blood sucker.” Daphne's voice whispered from behind while Ethan stood there, confused about what to do next. “It's obvious he can't, his heart is already attached to hers. He would rather risk the destruction of his pack than to let her go.” Ryan responded, taking a step forward towards the unconscious bodies lying on the ground. “They are all dead!” he added, his voice dripping with pain. “As usual,” Daphne whispered, her hands clenched into fist. “This is getting out of hand, Ethan.” Ethan stood still not saying a word to any of them, his imagination going wide. The whole of his being was seeking to always be around Seraphina, but looking at the dead bodies fluttering all around, was a concern. There has to be a way out, Ethan! He thought to himself. “We have to get the rest of the pack members out of here immediately!” Kara declared. “We’re not sure of what's coming next.” she added, her gaze sorely fixed on Ethan, waiting for his approval.
As they walked away from the council members, Seraphina felt a mix of emotions. She was grateful for Ethan’s protection and at the same time, she felt guilty for creating a conflict between the alpha and his council members. She couldn't keep up with the silence any longer, and decided to feed her curiosity“Why are you doing this, Ethan?” She asked“Doing what?” Ethan demanded, his eyes fixed on hers, waiting for her response. “I’m a vampire and a threat to your pack. You should be getting rid of me, not protecting me. Is it because I’m your supposed mate or is there more to it?” she demanded, her eyebrows raised in curiosity. “It's because you are special.” he said, a gentle chuckle escaping his lips. Seraphina’s expression didn't change. She didn't even smile, her seriousness a clear indication that she wasn't in the mood for jokes. “No jokes, Ethan. I’m serious..”“And who is joking here?” Ethan interrupted, his eyes locked on hers, flashing a warm smile at her. “You are not j
Seraphina shut the door behind her, even though she still had her fears, she felt a sense of relief. She had an assurance that Ethan hadn't left her all alone, because he promised he wouldn't. As she walked towards her bed, she suddenly heard a faint noise outside her window. She approached it cautiously, her eyes widened, her heart racing with different imaginations. She peeped through the window, only to find one of Ethan’s warriors standing right there. “What are you doing here?” she asked. “Aren't you supposed to be with the alpha?”“I’m sorry to intrude, Seraphina,” the warrior said. “Alpha Ethan asked me to keep an eye on you, your safety is my responsibility tonight.”Seraphina nodded, she felt a surge of energy, knowing she’s been guided. As she laid on her bed, she meditated on Ethan’s thoughtfulness towards her and a warm smile spread across her face. *****“Seraphina, it's time for your training.” Ethan’s loud voice echoed outside Seraphina’s door. Seraphina’s eyes fl
Her once-tamed locks cascaded in disarray as she knelt upon the soiled dungeon floor, hands tightly ensnared by unforgiving chains that inflicted searing discomfort. The metallic clasp not only confined her physically, but resonated with audible sizzles, a symphony of torment echoing in the dim-lit confines. Biting down on her lower lip, her eyes transformed into a deep crimson hue. With each passing moment, her strength waned, yet she exercised restraint, knowing that struggling would only worsen her pain. The creaking resonance of the metal bar’s movement forced her to lift her head, fixing her gaze on the source of her pains. “Seraphina Ravenhood,” a woman called, a smile playing on her lips as she entered the cellar, holding a whip. “Vivienne Blackthorn,” Seraphina replied, accompanied by a muttered curse. Vivienne, with her light skin and curls of fiery red hair, boasted succulent lips. “Lightskinned” barely captured the paleness of their kind, but Vivienne surpassed
Seraphina began to panic as she wondered if leaving her clan was the right choice to make. She wondered if she should have listened to Vivienne and stayed to get married to her leader, than running into something much worse. She could still hear the low growls from the werewolves, and as she slowly stood up, one of the wolves attacked first. It launched at her, its paws ready to take a swipe, until she moved out of the way and punched it from the sides, sending it crashing into a tree. The wolf whimpered softly as it was wounded from the hit, and now, she could hear the growls of the other wolves get louder. Their eyes narrowed at her, and immediately, another ran towards her. Its strong jaws were open, ready to take a bite, when she decided to jump. Being a Vampire, she could easily leap high up, so high that she could reach the top of a three-story building in one jump. But tonight, she had been drained, and all the energy she had gotten from the blood was gone as well. Anothe
