2024-10-29 19:42:56There was total silence in the room as soon as the words left Seraphina’s mouth. Apart from the hollow sounds coming in from the window and the soft breaths escaping Ethan’s lips, the room was otherwise quiet. Ethan on one hand, stared at Seraphina as he tried to make sense of what she meant. Powers? What did she mean by powers? Was she a vampire witch? Did he just allow a witch into his household to threaten the lives of his pack members without realizing it?
With a calculated move, he took one step towards her, trying all he could not to let her know he was very impatient and could snap her neck if she dared play games with him. His inner wolf was waiting patiently to see what he was going to do, but he knew Leon wouldn’t want him to hurt their mate. Hell, if he did that, they would fight eachother for a very long time. Tilting his head to the side, Ethan glared at Seraphina, finally able to get a glimpse of her face from the dark corner she stood.
“What do you mean powers?” He asked calmly, but still impatiently. “Are you a witch?”
Seraphina scoffed awkwardly at the question. The thought that someone like Ethan believed in witches made her almost burst out in laughter, but she knew the situation she was in at the moment wasn’t one that required laughter. Heavens knew that if she dared laugh at his face after killing off one of his servants under his roof, he might forget that she was his mate and kill her.
“I am not a witch.” She responded, moving to the side so that he could see her face. She lifted her hands in the air, showing to him that she had not laid a hand on the servant but also guessed that he knew that already. “I just have powers that harm werewolves.”
“You what?” Ethan asked, both confused and shocked. “Explain yourself better.” He snarled, pointing to the dead body on the ground. “I don’t have the patience to play games with you.”
Seraphina nodded her head in agreement, looking up at the high ceiling that she thought went on for ages. From his demeanor, she didn’t need a sorceress to tell her that he was on the verge of shifting into his wolf form and pouncing on her.
“I have a power that neutralizes any werewolf who stays within thirty kilometers from me.” Seraphina answered boldly. “Most times, my power kill your kind, but sometimes if they are lucky enough, they are just left seriously injured.”
Ethan stared at her, trying to make sense of what she was saying. He turned to look at the servant, before looking at her again. “So just by being near you, my kind can lose their lives?” He asked and she nodded her head in response. He scoffed out loud, rolling his eyes with disbelief. Before Seraphina could guess what he intended doing, he lunged at her with the speed of light, holding her neck, and placing her hard against the wall. “You knew this all this while and allowed me to bring you here?”
“If I can remember, I wasn’t given the chance to approve or disapprove of my coming here.” She responded, staring at him straight in the eye. Ethan tightened his grasp on her neck, enough to make her feel pain, but lose enough not to choke her to death. When it felt like her eyes were becoming red due to the impact of hid hold, he released her, and turned away anger.
“Then why isn’t it happening to me?” He demanded, turning back to look at her. “If your powers can kill werewolves, way isn’t it killing me?”
“I don’t know, maybe because you are the alpha and are strong enough to neutralize it.” Seraphina replied. “After running away from my clan, I realized that I had lost my power, now it’s just back.”
“And what am I supposed to do with that information?” Ethan asked, almost screaming at her. When she said nothing in response, he clenched his fists, almost piercing his hands with his fingers. “I don’t believe you.”
“You should.”
“Well, I don’t.” he repeated. “Not until you show me how the powers work.”
Seraphina smiled at him, still massaging the place his hand had grabbed. When she was done, she dropped her hands and stared into his eyes. “Are you willing to risk the life of another servant just to know if I am lying or not?” She asked.
Ethan took deep breaths, the rage in his eyes dangerous enough to kill a thousand vampires. Seraphina waited till he was calm again, before walking forward to examine the body that was lying on the floor. The sounds of footsteps coming from within got to their attention and before she could blink, Ethan zoomed to the door, the strength of his speed blowing the table covers and throwing the meal towels to the ground.
“Stop there!” He screamed at the servant who was making her way to the dining room and she halted immediately, shaking with fear. She bowed her head, not daring to look into the eyes of the alpha especially since he seemed to be visibly angry at the moment. “What do you want?” Ethan demanded.
“I want to clear the wine glass and ask if you wanted anything else delivered to you.”
“I do not.” he responded immediately. “Leave. When I need your services, I will call for you.”
The servant didn’t wait for the sentence to completely leave his mouth before darting out of the hallway, leaving the premises quiet once more. Ethan took a deep breath and headed back into the dining room, only to see a smile on Seraphina’s face.
“You do believe me.” She said to him. “And you worry about every single person in your pack, including mere servants and cooks.”
“Shut up, I do not believe you.” Ethan said, watching as she stood from the floor after examining the body.
“She is dead.”
“Isn’t it obvious?” He asked, eyeing her dangerously. Before she could think of what he wanted to do, Ethan took hold of her bare arm and dragged her out of the dining room. He mindlinked everyone in the house on their way, warning them to clear off from the path and they all obeyed. Seraphina said nothing as he dragged her up the stairs and into the room that had been allocated to her. He pushed her inside, and with his index finger, pointed straight at her.
“Stay here till I decide what to do with you.” He snarled before turning away and locking the door behind him. “Damn you moongoddess.” He said to himself as he headed back to the dining room. “What the hell am I supposed to do with her. I am in the middle of a war, and I really have no time for this.”
Ethan kept talking to himself until he got into the dining room only to see Ryan, his beta, bending over the servant examining her body. Ryan turned at his intrusion, with horror in his eyes.
“What happened here, alpha Ethan?” He asked.

Ethan had his back against the wall in the far end of the dining room as he watched two of his warriors cover and move the corpse of the female servant away. He said nothing even when Ryan and Daphne placed their hands on their waists at the same time, asking with their eyes for an explanation to be given to them. He tried to think of Seraphina and the so-called power she claimed to have. If she was indeed going to be a risk in his pack, then wasn’t it better to send her away or better still get rid of her? he wondered. A part of him wanted to be rid of her, but another part, the stronger part that was controlled by his heart and his inner wolf, wanted him to keep her and find out what was locked up inside of her.“Ethan?” Ryan called, bringing him out of his thought process and he blinked, allowing his eyes to settle on his best friend. “What happened here?” Ryan asked for the third time again.Ethan watched him keenly, before darting his gaze towards his gamma, Daphne, who stood the

The immediate awareness that someone was inside the room, staring at her while she slept, had Seraphina jumping up from the bed only to see Ethan leaning on the wall, his eyes heavily on her. She quickly looked down at her body to make sure no part of it was exposed before looking up to meet his gaze again. There was a slight smirk on the corner of his lips that had her using her palms to cover her cleavage and the smirk immediately turned into a smile, one that she didn’t think she had seen on his face before.“You don’t have to cover anything.” He spoke, his gaze hovering over her body wickedly. “Our kind have seen more naked bodies than newborn babies.”Seraphina cleared her throat, not only angry that he seemed to be enjoying himself, but also because he had interrupted her dream, a dream where she had been able to rescue her sister after a fierce battle with her vampire friends.“I can see that.” She said, standing from the bed and dragging the sheets with her. When they stood to

Ethan was beyond confused at the situation surrounding him. Was Seraphina playing games with him? or did she not just know how to control the powers she claimed to have. Ryan, his beta continued to examine the bodies of the warriors while he in turn looked far across to Seraphina, who just stood like she had done nothing wrong.“They are dead, Ethan.” Ryan said, standing to his feet and placing both of his hands in the pockets of his pants. “They are both dead, what are you and that blood sucker doing?”Ethan ignored Ryan’s questions and snarled in anger; his eyes red with rage. Before Ryan could say another word to him, he hurried to Seraphina, grabbed her hands, and pulled her against the wall of his chest. She saw how red his eyes were and from the little growl she heard from his throat, knew there was a possibility that he would be changing into his wolf form if she wasn’t careful.“Are you playing with me, young woman?” He growled again, spitting at her face. “Do you think I brou

Ethan lowered his eyebrows as soon as Kara called his name. He didn’t know she was back to the pack because her sister hadn’t informed him about it. She was someone who liked to be around him, one of the few people in the pack who didn’t fear him like others did. Unlike Daphne whose wolf was white in color, Kara’s wolf was a fierce black that could run for ages.He opened his mouth to speak, but the realization that Seraphina was in the room and could be dangerous to her life hit him immediately, so he rushed to her side, leading her quietly out of the hall without saying a word. Seraphina watched them keenly, saw the way he spoke to her and almost flinched when another woman walked into the ring, halting both Ethan and the previous girl on their steps. The girl whose name she was dying to know, smiled at the older gorgeous woman, leaving Seraphina to wonder if all the women in the pack were as good looking as both of them.“I gave an order Daphne.” Ethan said to his gamma, looking ba

Back at the Obsidian Order Clan, Vivienne stood in Lord Zachary’s great hall, her long red hair flowing in the middle of her back as she waited beside Magnus O’Neil, the second in command to the great vampire lord. Vivienne could feel her hand shaking with both fear and panic as she thought of how to bring the news of Seraphina’s escape to Zachary Wright. He had left the witch in her care, trusted her enough to do what was important to keep her within their sight but she had failed him by allowing her to escape. Now she had no knowledge of what would happen when Zachary arrives.Vivienne looked around the hall, taking note of its shiny floors and well painted walls. She spared Magnus a glance and after seeing that he was calmer than she was, scoffed out loud. Magnus on the other hand, turned to look at her, raising an eyebrow as he was surprised about her gesture.“Is something funny, Vivienne?” He asked, his voice low and very calm. Vivienne shook her head in response, as she refused

Ethan watched Seraphina devour the stake that was kept in front of her, surprised that blood wasn’t the only thing that she could eat. He studied her with intrigue, realizing that the more time he spent with her, the more knowledge he learns about the vampire specie. He had heard so many stories about them and had even faced them off in battle more times than he could count, but never had he spent this much time trying to figure out their hidden secret. With Seraphina, he finds himself genuinely intrigued and this intrigue was slowly turning into attraction that he had never felt before.Leaning close to her chair and smiling at the manner in which she ignored him, he pointed at the almost empty plate of steak. “Does that satisfy your hunger?” He asked.Seraphina turned to kook at him, thinking it was just a trick question, but when she saw that he meant what he was asking, shrugged her shoulders indifferently.“It does the job for some minutes. Blood is still the main deal.” She answ

“No.” Daphne said, turning away from Ethan to go back to her treadmill exercise. Ethan sighed in distress, not the least surprised that she was acting that way because he had anticipated it.“What do you mean no?” he asked, pressing the stop button on the treadmill to prevent her from training. Daphne rolled her eyes in frustration, coming down from the wooden equipment to face him directly. Some strands of her hair which hadn’t been fitted into the band used to tie the remaining, stuck on her sweaty face and Ethan found himself wanting to help her tuck it behind her ear. Because of the situation that they were in, he decided to keep his hands to himself, so as to avoid them being slapped by her.“Why should I train her?” Daphne asked, putting her hands on her waist. “For all I know she could kill me like she did to my warriors.”“We both know that is not going to happen, Daphne.” He replied, shaking his head. “We need her in order to succeed over the vampires. By the way, I am not ask

Seraphina and Daphne stood in the middle of the training ground, staring intently at eachother. While Daphne had a rough look on her face, Seraphina’s remained cool and levelled. Seraphina could tell just from the tension in the large space that it had taken quite a number of threats to convince the other woman to do this and she couldn’t help but smile. The only reason she had asked Daphne to be in charge of her training was because she had witnessed firsthand how bold and fearless Daphne had been when confronting Ethan and knew immediately that she also wanted to become like that. She wanted to be strong, bold and fearless for the time she was going to be meeting Zachary again, because she knew it would happen one way or another.Ethan cleared his throat behind Seraphina and while she turned to give him audience, Daphne shifted her gaze towards his direction.“The training can start now.” He said, resisting the urge to roll his eyes at them. “I do not have all day as you can see, I

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.

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

“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.

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

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

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

Seraphina stared at Daphne and her sister simultaneously as they both dipped their hands into their pockets, watching her. From a closer look at both women, she realized they both had some similarities that gave them away as sisters. Both women were of tall feminine build with faces that men would crawl for, but while Daphne had sharp blue eyes, Kara’s were a trembling brown that could bring any human or wolf down to their knees with just one stare. She watched them simultaneously for a moment, before stretching her hand to point at Kara.“You want me to fight her?” she demanded, now focusing only on Daphne who nodded her head curtly. “You have seen the way she looks at me, she might kill me.”“I wouldn’t want to believe you are scared of my little sister, Seraphina.” Daphne answered, deliberately mocking her. “You are older than she is, and might I not forget that you are a vampire. You have a upper hand.”“But she hates me for reasons best known to her.” Seraphina argued, taking a m

The whole house went silent as Seraphina drank to her fill. She didn’t know why she wasn’t stopping or why she was drinking from the blood of an alpha while his subjects watched with awe, but she found herself not being able to stop. Somehow, his blood wasn’t bitter and sour like the blood of other humans. It was sweet and tasted like something she had drank before. Surprised that Ethan and his people weren’t doing anything to stop her, she dragged her face away from his hand and looked up only to find him staring at her with intrigue.“You are beginning to discredit everything you said from the beginning, Seraphina.” He said, wincing as the pain of her deed finally began to get to him. “Don’t you think that is dangerous considering where you are?”Seraphina stood to her full height, turning to gauge the faces of all the warriors standing behind her. She was surprised to see them all looking in awe instead of rushing on to arrest her for daring to bite their alpha.“I am the one stopp

Seraphina was already pacing her room with impatience when she heard the door unlock from outside. She halted on her step and waited for whomever it was to open and when Ethan appeared in front of her, she fought every urge in her body not to lunge herself at him and wrestle him to the ground.He had not only kept her locked up in the room but had stopped her from attending her training with Daphne. If only he knew how desperate she was to hone her fighting skills, he wouldn’t treat her as such. Last night she had dreamt of her sister, Lisa and in her dreams, her sister was being tortured until she breathed her last. After waking up with an uneasy feeling in her stomach, she knew she no longer had time to play lock and key with the condescending alpha.“You promised that I wouldn’t be locked up.” She said to him, clenching her fist in anger. Ethan on the other hand saw the way and manner in which her fists clenched and could immediately sense she was furious. He folded his hand on hi
