VERONICATheman was in front of me a matter of seconds ago. If I had moved a lot faster, that could have made my skill pop like the cork of a wine.People stopped for a while, but no one screamed. I just couldn't believe that cars are also weapons that could kill someone. I looked away, not wanting to see the disgusting site.My dress has been ruined too, and I feel the blood drying on my skin. The driver of the truck jumped down from his seat to take a look at the man who just died before my very own eyes.No one spared me a glance. Everyone was busy looking at the mother and taking pictures. Somehow, I feel that this was a normal occurrence here.My legs suddenly became wobbly, and I couldn't walk anymore. The pain was somewhat unbearable for me.I spin around to walk away and find somewhere to breathe and rest a little. People were now crossing the road in groups, deserting the accident scene.Even with the crowd, I couldn't walk with them as the memories of what happened flashed b
VERONICA "You can't be serious, miss. Do not take my kindness for something else, huh? I do not have a place for you to stay; you can just stay in a hotel room," she said, moving away from me again."Hotel??. What's that?" I mumbled to myself. I have never heard of it before, and I wonder what it would take me to find one."Are you seriously joking, ma?" Okay, an inn. Let's break it down to your own level," she replied, getting all pissed off.Oh, thanks, but I wonder where I could find one," I asked, pretending to know what a hotel is in order not to look so awkward. My clothing combination is already making me look like a fool, not to mention adding spice to my predicament."They are everywhere. 70% of Italy is filled with nice hotels, so go and book one for yourself. I nodded and started walking away from her. Wait, did she just say Italy? The reality of her words struck me. How could I possibly be in Italy by now? For the last I could remember, Ravenswood was in the United States
KING GRIMGORIt was already late at night, and neither my father nor Veronica had returned. If that old man did anything to Veronica, I wouldn't forgive him. I hated the fact that I did not know where Veronica went. It was just so annoying that I couldn't even reach my father.That night, I didn't sleep a wink. I paced up and down in my room, just wishing for a miracle to bring Luna home. The next morning, I am going to report her missing and question the other packs. If she had left me a clue or something. She didn't even try to mind-link me for help; was she really that annoyed with me?It wasn't supposed to be so simple, but I will take the task of finding Veronica as my first since I became king of Ravenswood.I didn't even know when I drifted to sleep on my office table; maybe for five minutes, I am not so sure, but when I woke up, the weather was already bright enough for me to check out if Veronica had returned overnight.She hasn't. She fuckin hasn't returned.I headed to my
VERONICAI woke up with a start, gasping for breath as if I had been running in a marathon. My eyes were puffy, and a dull ache throbbed behind my temples. Another night of restless sleep plagued by haunting nightmares I let out a weary sigh, realizing that I must have cried myself to sleep again. It had become an all-too-familiar routine, my subconscious betraying me in the darkest hours of the night.Reluctantly, I dragged myself out of bed, trying to shake off the remnants of the dreams that lingered in my mind like a heavy fog. I knew that avoiding sleep altogether was not a sustainable solution. I went to the fridge, which was just In my room, and opened a can of bottled water and then gulped it down at once. I went back to bed feeling a lot better. I sat and enjoyed the night view from my window. The beautiful city of Italy I smiled to myself as I breathed heavily.Today I pleaded to have a night shift and work at night instead. I called in sick, and they almost gave me a free w
VERONICAI grew more tired as the evening drew by. I made sure I slept as much as I could and then got myself ready for my evening shift, which will be in an hour.This time around, I will be doing a very different kind of job. Normally I work as a waiter, helping Antonio, and then as a cleaner. I would clean and watch every room in both the 3rd and 4th series of the hotel building.But this night, it's different. I would only have to deliver food and answer any urgent calls from any of their customers.I got ready for work, and once I got to the reception counter, I fell. It was as if he was waiting patiently for me to come, and once I did, he picked up the telephone and dialed the number.I quickly took his order and started out to his room.As I stepped into the dimly lit corridor of the luxurious hotel, I suddenly felt a knot in my stomach. I don't know why, but I am not the type to usually feel anxious over nothing.Maybe because. Tonight was my first night shift at the hotel. I
KING GRIMGOR..Even in The streets, I wait to hear about anyone's opinion on where Veronica could be. I traveled far and near Washington until I got a little idea about a similar happening. Moreover, it is Obvious that Veronica is nowhere in Washington.I was also on the verge of giving up when I Heard that the princess of the crescent moon pack was also kidnapped, although she had returned and became more miserable, so his father wouldn't let anyone see her.But I needed to. I went over to his pack, but his guards wouldn't let me in. At first I was annoyed, and if this resulted in war, I am sure that I would crush them before they could best one of my men.Of all the things Ravenswood has, the strongest warriors are among them, so I didn't need to put in so much effort, but because of the circumstances, I didn't have a choice but to make this as peaceful as it could be. I understand his reasons. It's his daughter we are talking about.I sent a message to him, begging him that I was st
ALEXANDERI never knew Veronica was this brave. All this time, I have been trying to make her believe that she has special powers. Little did I know that she was also trying her best to make me believe it. She knew all this time that she had special abilities and made me act like a fool all this time.I hated the fact that I would have to help her out with both realizing that she has powers and then using them the right way in order not to get her energy drained. Actually, I left her to be at the hotel for all this while preparing the place she would stay for the tests.I watched as she used her powers, pretending to be shocked. I just wanted to know what she was capable of. When she asked for the door to be opened, I sincerely did, knowing she wouldn't last long. No wonder she eats a lot. She sure needs all these foods she consumes in order for her body to work perfectly. She sure deserves to be a foodie.I swear, I have never seen anyone with that much power. I just hope my experime
King Grimgor.."I brought your daughter some gifts, I said to Alpha Dean once I got to the crescent moon pack. He looked confused as to what the gist could be. That was why I decided to Tell him about it first. Just like Emily, he might misunderstand that I am interested in his daughter."There is absolutely no need for that Grimgor," He said, a little grin playing on his cheek.Yes, I know, but I had to try to make her talk to me. I didn't know how else I would make her do that, and my chances are already slim enough; if she didn't talk to her father, was it a random stranger she would talk to then?" I insisted, stating my reasons clearly."I am sorry I can't get you to her room; I will have to make her come outside to see you. It might take a little while, but I will try my best. I also want to hear about the experience that has traumatized my daughter so much."That's totally fine, Alpha Dean," I said. I never even thought of going to her room. Maybe, as her father has seen me with

KING GRIMGOR'S POVIt's been ten years since I and Veronica have been together. Today was our wedding anniversary.Ten whooping years wasn't easy, but guess who made it easier, Veronica? No, not just twins; we also have another. Baby girl,. I guess we will call it a wrap.I always knew that Veronica was like a moon goddess sent to earth. Her powers were so great that everyone from different packs and clans came to seek her out.Josh stands in the garden holding a flower. He is so much like me. No. He was just me when I was much younger.He was incredibly smart. More than I was. He was already talking about meeting his wife and loving her more than I loved his mother.I doubt there is a greater love than the one I have for Veronica."What are you doing staring at your son, daddy? I thought I was your favorite?" Judy said. I wonder how long she was standing and staring at us both. The last I remembered, she was there with her brother, picking flowers in my mother's garden."Oh, my baby.
Four years later.,"Judy!" I called my four-year-old girl. She ran as fast as she could and got to my room, only for her to withdraw.Yes, mummy," she answered, quietly seeing the mess she caused in my room."What the Fuck did you do to my room?" I asked. There is no need to be sure whether she was really the culprit. The expensive lipstick Grimgor got for me when he went to Italy was all over her face."Mom!" "Answer me." She looked at me like she would rather walk out than answer."You are using the F word, mommy," Judy said. I bit my lips from the inside. I could easily make a mistake in front of Josh, and he will let me be."Come here, bring your butt. You need some serious spanking!" I went towards her, but the little... (opps, I promised not to abuse her again)... Ran away for me to chase her.I did, and I was going to give her more than just a spank when I caught up with her.Judy knows the right direction to run. She stopped at her father's feet, smili
In a place we're they was nothing but darkness emerged two bright lights. Each light show brighter than the sun itself ."Damn. Where is that bloody fellow" Ezra muttered to himself looking around ad the whole vampires that gathered where seeking for a refuge to hide themselves away from the lights. "Where is he?. Your boss I mean" he said again with all seriousness. But got no response. It was weird for both him and sam that the vampire king didn't show up..Some men managed to pose for fight against them. "Drop your swords helpless fellow, yes I will kill you all but at least I wanted it to be a painless death" Ezra bragged. He haven't fought for a while though because his over protective brother would not want him to get hurt. But even with all that, he still wasn't so much pressured because he has always being as good as grimgor. The men still insisted on fighting even with the light that was almost burning their skin. Probably to buy time before the vampire king will come.
The D-Day.Everyone was already prepared for the day. Even those who were aware of what was going on and those who were not aware all felt the absolute quietness in the palace."Are you ready?" The former king, Friedrich, asked his son, who was dressed in his royal kingship attire,"Yeah, I guess," Grimgor said with an assuring smile. At that moment, he was thinking about how Veronica would react to waking up without him beside her."Let's go. Then," Fridolf said, taking the lead. King Grimgor hesitated a while before following him steadily behind his back.As they made their way through the dimly lit corridors of the palace, the weight of the impending ritual hung heavily in the air. The torches along the walls flickered, casting eerie shadows that seemed to dance with every step they took. Both father and son were lost in their thoughts, contemplating the challenges that lay ahead.King Grimgor couldn't help but feel torn between his duty as the ruler of the kingdom and his personal
King grimgor...Day one. One more day, and everything will end. Just that I might end with it also.Today, everything has been put in place. Our plans were being perfected, ready to be unleashed.I had to spend the whole day with my wife. That's why I made it free.I lifted the dumbbell weight for the hundredth time. I breathed heavily before dropping it to the side."What are you staring at, sunshine?" I watched Veronica lose herself in thought with her hands on her jaw.I have dragged her to work out with me.Dragged out, meaning that I had to carry her out of the bed before she ended up here. She answered sluggishly the first two times I called her to come to me, but the third time, I didn't wait for her to respond. I just lifted her from the bed and made her wear sportswear."How does this seem so easy to you?" She asked after a long while."Easy? Not really so easy, but since I made up my mind to carry it, I did."Why don't I try? . Okay. Let me make up my mind." Veronica closed
Day one..Author's pov....There was news going around. Unfortunately, it had to skip King Grimgor and his ally. It was intentional.I overheard Viktor saying something to Grimgor's father. I was his secretary, so I know a lot more than I should. I never intended to eavesdrop.Never! But it just happens.Okay, today I was about to get a call across to the former king, King Ferdinand, when he asked me to stand outside and wait a little while."Do you suggest I stay put and watch all this, Viktor? What if things go wrong and my son ends up dead?" I was just outside when I heard"No, not really, my king. I trust your son, and he is not used to failing, so this won't be a lot for him like you think," a voice responded, whom I suppose to be Viktor.I know at this point I am supposed to walk out, but...I didn't walk out.Don't get me wrong, please. I don't eavesdrop on my seniors; I just couldn't walk out on such an interesting topic.I fvcking couldn't."You know how Aradumus could be?
KING GRIMGOR.Day Two..Two days for the ritual, and we are making just a little progress. I am worried after all this, and I just hope I do survive to take care of Veronica and our child."Your majesty, I found someone already." These words were soothing. We didn't want to invite an external body into our affairs, and it made it difficult to find someone except my brother and Sam, who volunteered. I don't want to lose any of them at all."Perfect. " I heaved a sigh of relief. "Now all we have to worry about is the plan being successful", I said while swinging my sword in the air.I had to get myself ready too. I don't know how he himself is getting ready for all of this, but either I win or we both end up dead."Won't you at least rest a little, my king? You have a wife to look after," Sam suggested. I stared at him, knowing fully well that he doesn't understand the weight of this whole thing."No rest for winners; I never planned to lose," I said. Lodging my sword on him, which he a
VERONICAI wouldn't just easily believe that the news I heard was about me, I cannot just be pregnant. It should be a good news after all I am married and my father in law has used the fact that I have no child yet as a base to taunt me.."I lay down, touching my stomach and wondering if my baby could hear me. Now, I just have to be sensitive of words I say so it would not feel that I love him less. Yes him, I actually want a baby boy. I never had a brother although not a sister as well. I don't really know how things will turn out next. "You should get going. Don't delay your work because of your pregnant wife. At least now that my sickness has being defined. It should be a normal thing for us" I said to grimgor. He needed a way to tackle his issue with the vampire king and I needed some space to tackle mine with his father. He seemed to be happier after hearing the news. His mouth refused to close properly as he just smirks now and then probably fantasying holding our baby's ha
