VERONICA. Coffee was lit. Much better than tea. It's one of the pleasures I didn't get to enjoy at all. I could swear that my grandmother didn't taste any coffee before her demise. I can almost imagine her curiosity about this aromatic brew, and I wish I could have shared it with her.Ever since Grimgor and I reunited, he introduced me to the world of coffee addiction. Each morning, like clockwork, he would savor his cup of coffee before heading off to work. At first, he would make two cups—one for himself and one for me—but eventually, he taught me how to make coffee so I could return the gesture.As I sat there, sipping my coffee, I couldn't help but notice the dwindling contents of the cup. I pushed away the thoughts of Emily's words that still lingered in my mind. It was hard to believe the truth of it all. I felt utterly helpless, torn between the desire for revenge, the strange but undeniable feelings of falling in love, and the need to bring justice to my pack.In times like t
KING GRIMGORI clenched my fist at the audacity. No matter how much treat they bring to me, there Is no way I should ever be scared of vampires.I was already tired for the day. I went to have my breakfast like Vera wanted. My heart skipped a bit thinking of the possible reasons for what I would do should she be in the position of dying at the hands of those vampires.I heard a heavy scream outside, and I kept mute, wondering who could be making such a noise this day. I was already pissed enough, and this...I went back inside, but I remembered that I had something urgent to take care of, and then I dropped a little message to the sleepy head.Now with all This noise, I have to stay longer In the office. I kept on drafting what I was doing until the meering suddenly stopped.My mother always says that she won't flinch when me and my brother are making noise, throwing and breaking plates, or shouting at the top of our voices. But once everything went silent, her heart would skip, and s
VERONICAHe was furious.Yes. I saw his eyes burning in anger the moment I mentioned the vampires and Mary's death. At first, I had to lie and say that it was all a dream, but food!I just opened up to the smell of chicken. Something I actually crave.Sometimes I wish he could be a little less kind to me so I could control my skipping heart.Knowing that he already knows justifies the letter I took from Mary's cold hands. The vampires were after me, and as much as I care, I know I have the power to kill a Lycan, not to mention defend myself in the mist of vampires.There are quite strong and they have their own supernatural powers, but not like the Lycans. I don't know why they would want to start a fight with the Lycans in the first place.Just because a few of them were sheltered in their pack?Or are there no werewolves or Humans alive outside the castle anymore? I can't tell, and I can go out there to confirm.I hate the fact that I just fall sick anytime I skip meals. If I eventu
KING GRIMGOR.As long as I could remember, the vampires rule over us started when my mother was killed right in front of my father.My father seems to be his puppet, doing whatever he wants—a fact no one knows except myself and his special adviser. He probably doesn't know that I saw everything that they did to my mother.I left earlier for the office, leaving Veronica tugged inside the duvet—of course, not without a good-day kiss on her forehead. She was still sleeping soundly compared to someone who almost slept throughout the day yesterday.Veronica is such a sleeping beauty. She surprisingly doesn't droll, and her face looks so pretty while she is asleep. I would have spent the whole morning watching her, but I just had something to do in the office."I will be back earlier today, sunshine," I whispered to her after the kiss, but I am fifty percent sure that she didn't hear me. With the heavy thunderstorm yesterday, she didn't even flinch a muscle. With a sigh, I left the room, ma
KING GRIMGOR"How dare you do this to my mate!' I yelled, looking at Veronica with bruises all over; she was weak and tired."Because your fuvking mate did this!' I heard a voice say, There is no need to ask; he is burning in anger. I looked around—bloody corpses everywhere and the reeking smell of rotten blood. If Veronica did this, then I am pretty proud of her.I rushed to where she lay, almost drained of her energy. I hugged her to myself as I carried her up. Anger surged into my veins as I watched what an asshole did to my mate."Let her go, and I will do your bidding," I said now, carrying Veronica in my hands. She was not so heavy-weighted, but trust me, with all those good things she ate, she wasn't light either."The man teleported himself to where I was. The vampire king He reeks of blood as well, as he stares fine at Veronica and more intentionally at her laps, which were showing abit due to the way I carried her. I used one of my hands to get rid of half of my jacket and
KING Grimgor. The vampire king was quite strong. I was only able to beat him because it was a sunny day, and I launched my attack and dragged him to the bright side. And once a little sun burns him, he gets weaker.However, I wanted to continue; I wanted to see and master his fighting skills. However, I got my own blows too. But it wasn't as much as how hard I hit him."If you do not stop Grimgor, You will regret it now," he said, laughing like he had another plan.For all I care, he was bluffing, but thank the moon goddess that I decided to look where he was staring at, and my eyes caught my father and my wife with a knife held so close to their necks."This is quite fun. Think about all you have to lose if you insist on fighting back. You don't have much of an option," he said, smiling. I let go of him."What the hell do you want?" I asked yet again."8pm. The ritual will start; you must make yourself available and fully take over the throne. Like your father"I knew what he meant.
KING GRIMGOR.I thanked the doctor once again for his help and assured Veronica that she was going to be fine Then I turned my attention to Sam, ready to hear what he had discovered."According to my sources," Sam began, "the vampire king's fortress is heavily guarded, and it's situated in a remote location, making it difficult for a large army to attack directly. However, there's a secret underground passage that leads to the fortress, known only to a few trusted vampires.""Then that's our way in," I said, feeling a glimmer of hope. "If we can get through that passage undetected, we might have a chance to surprise the vampire king and stop the ritual.""But that's not all, my king," Sam continued. "During the ritual, the vampire king plans to use the power of the ancient amulet to amplify his control over everyone in the vicinity. That includes you, your father, and anyone else present.""So, he intends to use us as puppets during the ritual," I concluded. "We need a way to break fr
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

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
