View MoreA heavy silence fell over the group as Michael's words sunk in.Jocelyn's hand flew to her mouth, her eyes widening in disbelief. "No...oh god, no..."Evelyn felt her stomach drop. Poor headstrong John, who had left with his brother to find a way to stop the persistent raids on their family mines. "How did it happen?" She asked her husband.Michael dragged a shaky hand down his face, grief and weariness etched in the lines around his eyes. "My father didn't give me any details over the phone. Just said to get home right away.""Okay," Evelyn answered softly. She noticed Jocelyn was already crying, her shoulders were shaking with muffled sobs. She went to her, pulling her close in a tight embrace."We should go," Evelyn said, keeping her voice as steady as she could manage. "Your father wants us all together."Michael could only nod, seeming dazed by the tragic news. He turned and started walking without another word, his footsteps heavy.Evelyn kept an arm around Jocelyn, gently guid
Evelyn felt a shiver run down her spine at Elliot's ominous words. She tightened her protective stance next to Rebecca's bedside. "What do you mean a serious situation?" Michael asked, his voice thick with a werewolf's growl.Elliot's cold gaze swept over them all, assessing. "First, my brother is here in this hospital due to your poor judgment. The right thing you should have done from the outset was to bring him to our family home.""We saved your brother's life, and this is the thanks we get - blame. Not even an appreciation for saving his life. I can't say that I'm surprised, you vampires are an arrogant bunch," Michael said, fury rising. Elliot moved closer to Michael, his eyes flashing dangerously. "Watch your tone, boy!" His voice thundered through the whole room.After noticing the intense confrontation between her husband and her friend's brother, Evelyn cried out. "Stop this madness, this is a hospital! If you intend to fight, then take it outside."They both paused, slow
Evelyn's entire body trembled as fear gripped her at the horrific sight. She stood frozen, eyes locked on the scene unfolding before her. The shattered sound of fallen cups mingled with her anguished screams led to the inrush of others into Victor's hospital room."What happened?" Michael's question hung in the air as he halted, shock etched across his face. Irene and Jocelyn crowded in behind, their gasps audible. They stood still in awe, stunned to find Victor had sunken his fangs into Rebecca's neck. He pinned her limp form to the bed, feeding ravenously from the artery above her collarbone.""Hey! Get off her!" Michael surged forward, trying to wrench the frenzied Victor away, but the vampire's inhuman strength overpowered him. Though a werewolf himself, Michael was no match.He struggled futilely until Victor cast him aside with brutal force, sending him crashing through the doorway.Irene and Jocelyn rushed in, determined to help, but Evelyn held them back. "He's too strong.
Rebecca exchanged a look with Evelyn, both of them struggling to process Victor's jarring transformation. While she was relieved he was alive and relatively unharmed, a part of her mourned the loss of the man she had fallen in love with. The vampire she had accepted and embraced, flaws and all. "I...I don't understand," Victor said weakly, his eyes clouded with bewilderment. "The last thing I remember is being strapped to some chair while some doctors...experimented on me."He shuddered violently at the memory, his grip on Rebecca's hand tightening. Evelyn placed a comforting hand on his shoulder."Try not to think about that now," she said gently. "You're safe, that's what matters."Victor looked from Evelyn to Rebecca, his brow furrowing. "But how? What happened to me? I feel...different. Normal, almost."The two women exchanged another weighted glance. Rebecca took a deep, steadying breath."Don... he did something to you. Changed you, somehow," she began haltingly. "When the para
As Don was taken away, Evelyn felt a swirl of conflicting emotions. Part of her was relieved that he had been arrested. But another part was worried that he might escape yet again - so she wondered why he was kept alive and not executed on the spot.Surprised by her unusual thoughts of violence, she brushed them from her mind. She was a doctor and wasn't supposed to think like that. A wave of shame washed over her. Evelyn turned to Rebecca. "Are you alright?" She asked once again.Rebecca sighed. "Yes, I'm okay. I'm just confused...""About what?" Evelyn prodded gently. She knew something was amiss, though she still couldn't understand the confrontation between Rebecca and Don over Victor.Rebecca looked at her friend, unsure how to explain her discovery about Victor. "He - he is human.""What? Who is?" Evelyn's brow furrowed in confusion."Victor," Rebecca elaborated, her voice wavering. "He wasn't wearing his ring when they wheeled him outside. I tried to stop them from taking him
Amid the chaotic raid, Evelyn burst through the doors, frantic. She scanned the lobby desperately, praying Michael wasn't caught in the crossfire between WestHaven's forces and Don's mercenaries. Finally, she spotted him conversing with General Thomas and the police captain. Relieved, she rushed forward. "Michael!" He turned at her voice. Before he could react, Evelyn leaped into his arms, legs wrapped around his waist as she kissed him fervently. Michael was shocked by her presence but quickly lost himself in his wife's passionate embrace. Just minutes ago he had resigned himself to death, wishing to see Evelyn one last time. Now she was here - a miracle.After a moment, they broke apart, foreheads touching. "Evelyn? What are you doing here?" he asked breathlessly."What do you think? I came for you," she said fiercely, dropping back to the floor but clinging to his shirt.Michael glanced around the destroyed lobby, debris littering the floor amidst armed soldiers. "Honey, it's s
There was a thick numbness in the air, Michael could feel his heart racing. He was unarmed, outnumbered and outmaneuvered. He couldn't do anything but glare up at Don in contempt, his knees resting on the ground. Don smirked down at him. "Why the long face? I haven't even done anything yet - except kill several prisoners you helped break free."Michael clenched his fists in silent fury, trying to contain the deep hatred he felt towards Don."Bring them over," Don ordered his men surrounding the captives, including Jocelyn and Irene. They were dragged forward, forced to kneel next to Michael, and bound. In unison, they held their heads high - accepting their fate with dignity. None showed outward signs of being terrified, though shivers coursed down their spines. "There were about twenty of you. Now look at yourselves, reduced to what? Eight? Nine?" Don smirked as he counted the escaped captives.He paced around them and stopped behind the first prisoner, then shot him point-blank
As soon as the elevator was full, Irene flung one last grenade down the corridor before diving in through the closing doors, bullets whizzing past.The car began its rickety ascent with everyone inside tending to the wounded as best they could. Jocelyn gripped her brother's arm tightly, her face pale."That was too damn close..." Michael muttered, catching his breath. He looked at Irene grimly. "What do you think we're going to face when we get up there?"She shook her head soberly. "I don't know. But it's our only way out now."The elevator rattled upwards towards an uncertain fate in the main facility above.Michael and the others gripped their weapons tightly, knowing they would likely face more enemy resistance as soon as the doors opened again. Jocelyn pressed herself against her brother, her eyes squeezed shut as she tried not to think about the firefights they'd already endured to get this far. Michael gave her hand a reassuring squeeze, his jaw set in determination.Irene and
Michael and Irene led the team back down to the prison area. Although they moved swiftly and cautiously through the hallways, they still had to shoot their way through several enemy soldiers. The gunshots alerted more of the enemy forces to their location but they still did their best to pull through.When they reached the door to the prison, Michael quickly unlocked it with the keys he had taken earlier. Jocelyn rushed over, relieved to see her brother was okay."Thank god you're back! We heard gunfire -what's going on?" she asked worriedly."We had a run-in with some of the guards but it's handled," Michael reassured her. "We found Irene's team, so now we can get everyone out of here."Jocelyn looked around to see if Victor was among the men that arrived with her brother. "We couldn't find Victor," Michael said softly when he noticed her gaze on Irene's men.After seeing the reinforcements that Irene and Michael had brought along with them, some of the former captives looked relie
Evelyn woke up to an incessant knock on the door. Not fully awake, she reached for her partner beside her but found the bed empty. She stood up with a groan. "Who the hell is that at this hour?"Evelyn and her husband Michael had just returned from their honeymoon in Europe the previous night. They decided to spend a few days resting at a hotel suite before sharing the news of their return.She staggered out of the bedroom to find Michael working on his laptop by the sofa. "Honey, I thought I heard a knock at the door," she told him.He stood up to embrace her, carried her over, and sat her beside him. "Good morning, my love. How was your night?" He asked, avoiding her question."Fine...I-" Another knock interrupted her. She tried to stand, but Michael stopped her."Michael, there's someone at the door. Why haven't you answered it?""There's no need. I know who it is," he said, holding her hand."Well, tell me then. I'm sure it's not room service since we asked them not to disturb us....
