KADEN “Do you trust them?” I asks Scott. He looks at me and looks at the old woman lying on what looks like a big hospital bed. “I trust with the money I have given to them and the fear you have already instilled in them, they should keep their mouths shut.” He says. His Liberian, Kiera came forward. Kiera is also a vampire, but she is royalty but doesn't like it to define her that why she is with Scott, as his Liberian. “The guards are outside.” She says. “Is there anyone with a yellow stripe on his uniform?” I ask her. “Yes, he seems to be the leader.” She says. “Yes, he is.” I said and walked out of the room. When the arrow fled right through the window and into the old woman's chest, I knew I had stumbled onto something much deadly, maybe more deadly than Egnar. I remember her choking on her own blood, we couldn't move because we didn't know if the paperator was still out there. Scott had to call in some renforcement, they came with some doctors and nurses. The paperator
SKYLAR“Find me.” I heard a voice say to me in the darkness.“Where am I?” I cried out softly.“Find me!” The voice screamed again“Where am I?” I screamed and rose up from the bed.I had it again, the dream that has been keeping me up for most of my night. It was the same nightmare over and over again and it's getting difficult to sleep and let's not talk about the zoning out.And the nightmares don't seem to be slower, they are fast and strong. And most times I'm in a really dark place.I got down from the bed and walked towards the window. It was a little bit bright outside. I picked up my phone on the table. It was seven o'clock.I rushed to the bathroom, not because I'm late to a meeting or anything but because I needed to feel cool, my body temperature was on the rise.I got out of the bathroom to see a food tray on my table. It had a note,it read “from Miles.I sigh and put the note down, things haven't been easy for us since my nightmare because it's more frequent.I stopped h
VALERIEIt's been a few days but I can say, Octavia is finally on her feet. She has been able to move and give out instructions to members of her park.They all seem to love and worship her. I could feel the love they have for her radiating out of them. Especially the children, immediately she came out of the room she has been in since I brought her, they all ran to her, hugging her.It felt good seeing her receive so much love in a place. I only wish Kaden could see this and stops his madness against Octavia.Over the past few days she has introduced me to some members of the park. Most of them welcome me with warm hearts, others gave me the exact cold treatment Silvia gave to me.One woman said to me, “she shouldn't be here. Her place is not here.”Octavia reprimanded her immediately telling her, “Valerie's place is here. With her kind. She is a white wolf.”Sometimes I wonder about the mixed reactions to me being in their midst. My mind can't help but make me think about it most of
VALERIE“Oh my goodness, Kaden!” I screamed, “what happened!”“She did this.” Grey pointed at Silvia, sounding furious and turned into his world, preparing to attack Silvia.Silvia also turned into a wolf immediately, she turned into a silver wolf.“Both of you stop at once.” I tried to calm them down.But they were both groaning and howling at the same time.“Aunt Octavia, help.” I pleaded with her. “They will kill each other.”“You are a white wolf, there is power in your voice.”Grey turned back into his human form but not Silvia. She took off towards Grey.“I said stop this at once!” I screamed and the whole ground shock with a wave of wind washing all over us, sending Silvia to the floor.I was shocked beyond words, I didn't know I could do that.“How dare you?!” Silvia yelled as she turned into her human form.“I'm sorry, I didn't know what happened.” I said to her.“Don't be sorry, Valerie. Silvia got what she deserved.” Aunt Octavia said to me.“But, Octavia—”She cuts her off,
VALERIEI ran into the woods, feeling the leaves all around my body,the grass trying to take a piece of my legs. I can hear the birds around and the sound of the trees dancing with the waves. I could feel more tears pouring down my face as I ran.I stopped trying to catch my breath but it didn't seem to reach a level of calm, so I started running again.“Haa!” I felt something go into my leg. I bent down to look at it. “How bad is it?” My wolf asks “It's not bad at all, I don't even know why I screamed.” I said“Probably because you are angry.” She says“Probably…” I replied to her. “Do you hear that?” I ask her“It's a lake!” I screamed while sighting the water.Oh my goodness, it's been a while since I have seen a lake. Or have I seen one.I ran towards it and jumped into the water, taking all its coolness and spirits with me. I bent over and placed my hands inside the lake, it felt really cold and I loved it.I sighted a rock from where I was standing and walked towards it.The
KADENShe just kept running and didn’t look back. I could hear her sobbing on her way, an instinct told me to go with her but I needed to be here to search through Octavia.I started pacing up and about in Octavia’s room. I didn’t mean to deny her my promise but I need to make sure that Octavia isn’t playing her. She has been hurt a lot of times and I just don’t want it to happen again. I kept looking through her things, trying to find a clue regarding the white wolves or why information concerning the white is being decimated. But I also don’t want to fight with Valerie, she means a lot to me and fighting with her or making her cry, a part of me bleeds because of that. But her safety is very important. Her not being hurt by anyone including someone posing as her family is a priority for me. I need to see this through.If at least I get a shred of evidence against Octavia, maybe, just maybe for once Valeria will believe me and not see me as a villain. It hurts when she sees me as a v
ANSELThe wolf bond was becoming stronger and more painful. That means whatever Valerie is going through must be hell.“Can you see this?” I faced Kaden and Grey, holding my chest. “This, whatever is going on between the both of you, is a behavior I can't stand.”“Ansel–” Kaden called out to me.“Enough!” I screamed, all the birds around flew away immediately.“I can't deal with your fight anymore. I'm suppose to be tracking down Egnar, not be in the bushes because both of you can't protect her “ I said to them“I can protect her.” Grey said, staring hard on Kaden.“Oh really, when you didn't see her with Kaden. Your first instinct was to pick a fight with him and not find her.” I said to him“And you.” I faced Kaden, “when will you let go of these accusations. Valerie found you going through Octavia's things and she ran because she was mad at you.”“I can fix it.” He says“Fix it.” Grey said before I could speak, “with your obsession how are you going to fix it.” He said.“Grey, that
VALERIE“It's not true.” I shook my head violently.Silvia laughed like a crazy person, “which part isn't true, because I will be happy to enlighten you.” She says, staring down at me.“Aunt Octavia is taking my powers and you aren't either. We are here because you are just a spiteful little girl.”I saw her right hand raised and it came across my face.I tried to touch myself but the ropes on my hands won't let me, “you slapped me.” I whispered.“Yes, and I will do it again.” She says hashly“Aunt Octavia will come for me, Kaden, Ansel and Grey will come for me and you will be a pile of dust.”“You need to stop saying that.” She says“Saying what?!” I shot at her“That Octavia will save you, when she is the one coming to harm you.”“She will never hurt me, I'm her family and you will be punished for doing this to me.”“Wow! I thought you were empathetic.” She saysI gave her a puzzled look, “what do you mean?” I swallowed my saliva, my throat began to ache.“You just said I will be p
For almost 300 chapters, I wrote the story of six imaginary characters, and somewhere along the line, I forgot that they were just a figment of my imagination. I fell in love with their pain and their stories, and for one year, they were the one constant in my otherwise unbalanced life. If you are reading this, then they grew on you, too. Thank you for staying with me as I poured my imagination onto paper. Our journey has to end here, but this journey would have been nothing without you, my precious readers. I hope you stay back and become more than just a reader but part of the family. If you hang on a bit longer, we could also grow along with the new characters in my new books.I love every one of you. And loyal readers, even the grammar correctors and inline comment editors, are the reason I wake up, and writing is what keeps me going every day. Thank you, and I hope to see you in my next project.
ValerieThe palace was filled with the sound of laughter and music. It had been years since we had conquered the people that almost ruined our lives, tried to kill us and also tear us apart. Today, we celebrated.Elara was eighteen.My baby- the little girl who had been taken, nearly lost, and fought for- was now a woman. And not just any woman. She was stronger, beautiful and much more powerful than she had been as a baby. And most importantly, she was loved. She was standing at the center of the hall, her beautiful golden eyes glowing under the light and her white gown cascading around her. I was standing at the balcony as I stared at her and made sure everything was going on right at the party. “You’re going to cry aren’t you?” A familiar voice asked. I turned around to see that it was Kaden and he wore a smug smirk on his face. “I’m not one to cry,” I replied him with a scoff“Now, you’re lying,” Grey said as he walked to stand beside me. “You cried when she turned ten.”“
ValerieThe battle was over.The war was won.And yet, the weight in my chest remained.We had survived. We had fought against powerful people that threatened to end life as we knew it, we had lost people but we still managed to come out victorious though injured and weak. I looked around at what remained from the intense fighting- the floor was stained with blood, broken and bloodied weapons were scattered all over the floor and then the bodies- they laid uncountable and badly battered as life had left them. So many bodies. Some were ours, but most belonged to the Revolutionaries who had dared to challenge us.And then there was Scott who had fought so hard to protect my daughter and kingdom. He had lost his father in the process. He was kneeling close to his father’s body, his body was tense and he was silent, an unreadable expression on his face as he stared at the lifeless body of the man who had protected him instead of leaving him to die. A true father. I wanted to comfort hi
ScottI couldn’t wrap my mind around anything that was going on. It was all a blur and I could see nothing but red. The shouts of battle as the triplets surged forward, the sound of sword against slow, claws tearing against flesh and the sound of bodies hitting the floor all faded into the background. All I could see was him. My father. His now lifeless body was laying on the floor, his once powerful and mighty body was nothing more than a dead body now. His blood stained the floor beneath him, it was dark- darker than a normal blood should be and it pooled all both of us and my body too as it polled beneath him also. His eyes that were once sharp, the same eyes that had intelligence, history and a lot of battles surging through them were now more than empty- lifeless. Gone.The father I had just begun to understand. The father who had saved me. The father I thought hated me- only to realize too late that he didn’t.He had never really hated me, he just didn’t know how to show
Valerie Elara cried in my arms, her little body trembling against my hold on her. Scott was still battling against them, stronger than Kaden, Ansel and Kaden while Skylar stood by the side, fear written all over her face, looking traumatized. Andrea and her second in command were no more fearful, instead they were angry as they looked at the floor that was soaked with the blood of their men.“Give the baby to me,” Andrea snarled, her voice as sharp as a razor. I held Elara tighter, stepping back instinctively. “Over my dead body.”He smirked. “That can be arranged.”Others were still fighting as she made her way to me. I barely had time to react when she reached for me, clawing at Elara. Her movement was fast- too fast. A low growl ripped past my lips before I could stop it as my wolf howled in anger. I wasn’t going to let her touch my baby. My body was burning as my wolf took over, my bones shifting and snapping out of place. My muscles stretched and my fur sprouted along my
Valerie Elara’s cry stopped me dead in my tracks as her cries pierced through the air, their grip on her tightening. The sliver blade of the dagger hovered dangerously close to her neck as it glinted under the bright moonlight. Everything inside me was burning and screaming at me. I had to save her.But I wasn’t fast enough.The moment I moved, the leader pressed the blade closer. “If you take one more step,” she said, her voice filled with warning as a cruel smile curled at her lips. “I’ll kill her and I’ll made sure it’s a slow and enjoyable death for me.”I froze in place, my heart racing and my nerves all over the place. Kaden and Ansel tensed up as they stood beside me with clenched hands and anger coursing through their bodies, barely able to control the frustration they were feeling. Grey on the other was shaking with a barely suppressed anger as he halted daggers at Andrea. The air was heavy and suffocating. Then, all of a sudden, something shifted. I heard a low and dee
Valerie Scott looked uncertain. His eyes glowered between us all, the expression on his face was unreadable as if he was having an internal battle with himself on what he had to do next. I could feel the tension that was radiating off Ansel, Kaden and Grey’s bodies. We were all ready to fight even if it was the last thing that we did but we were weak and we needed Scott to make a choice, we needed him to do something. The men and women of the revolution stood on the other side path there weapons and out and ready, waiting for either us or Scott to do something against what they wanted. Skylar was kneeling by Andrea’s legs, her jaw was clenching and tears were running down her face. I knew she was feeling stupid because Kaden had said they weren’t to be trusted and she hadn’t listened. She had been so stubborn and all of this was partially her fault. She was so desperate to have her family back that she forgot that no one was to be trusted. Scott let out a small sigh as he ran hi
Valerie“So how do we get there?” Grey asked, his voice filled with urgency.“That’s simple, this…” i trialed off before it turned to look at the woman. “I didn’t get your name, what name do you go by?”“My name is Andrea,” she replied with a tight smile and I nodded. “So as I was saying, since she knows the way to the vampire kingdom, we just have to follow behind her and pray we get there as fast as we can,” I explained and the guys nodded in approval while Skyler just looked at us indifferently. “So we go now? Without any plans of anything happens?” Ansel asked, the anger he was feeling evident in his voice. “Nothing is going to happen, Ansel,” Skylar said thejugj gritted teeth. “I already told you that there’s nothing to worry about. Just because you’re now finding out that Scott is a vampire doesn’t make him any different from the man that you’ve known since.”“Oh please, what if he’s about to show that he really ha-“ Ansel started but a look from me was wvkugh to shut him up.
Scott I walked out of my father’s presence and walked back to the maids to get the baby. I had thought that I was only going to be there for a few minutes before I headed back out and look for somewhere safe but there really wasn’t anywhere better than the heavily guarded estate of my father’s kingdom. But when my hand reached for the door knob, I stopped, realizing that I needed to take a shower and get my powers back if I really wanted to win this battle. The babies were with Raye- the maid that had brought me and my brother up and I was that they were in safe hands. I turned on my heels and headed towards the healers part the house. When I got there, her mouth fell open as she bombarded me with questions. “After years of you staying away from here, you come back with so many injuries and a weak body?” She asked as she ushered me to a sit by the corner of the room. “It’s not like I intentionally did this to myself,” I replied coldly but soon regretted it when I saw the look on
