"What happened to all of you?" Emerald whispered to the plants as she went to the garden. "I think you need some watering."Emerald cast a spell. A green energy light filled the entire garden. Then, it changed the whole place in an instant. The withered plants started to grow and their flowers bloomed again. Emerald felt delighted upon seeing the changes in the garden."I never thought that this garden could be this beautiful." Alpha Marcus suddenly uttered while glancing at the surroundings."Well, indeed it is," Emerald said. "By the way, Marcus can I join the warrior's training tomorrow?""Sure." Alpha Marcus replied. "I'll assist you tomorrow.""No need for that. I can manage. Besides Yessa was with me." Emerald said."No. I insist. I'll also introduce you to the whole pack as well.""Okay.""Good." Alpha Marcus said while smiling at Emerald. Then, he holds Emerald's hand. "In the meantime, let's enjoy the beautiful ambiance." And they begin walking around the garden."Alpha...Alp
"No...please...I'm begging you..." A man's voice was heard pleading. "Please...give me another chance." The man kneeled and continued pleading. "I'm leaving, Mike. You take charge of this." Someone suddenly uttered. "You already know what to do with him." "Yes, Boss." "No...please...Marcus Ruvia." The man shouted. Marcus Ruvia just continued his exit from the abandoned building as if he didn't hear anything. Marcus Ruvia was known for being a ruthless, dominant, and powerful young boss of the mafia in the human world. He is very tall and muscular. His delicate features and obsidian eyes made him look mysterious and aloof. His aura imposed that no one should try to mess up with him or else they had their own death wishes. He acquired the position of the "Don" when his father, the late Alfonso Ruvia, died in a car accident three years ago. It was so suddenly that the young Marcus, who turned eighteen then, had no reason to resist the said position. He was the rightful successor. Th
At the pack house of Blue-Eyed Pack... "Mom, what's wrong?" Alpha Marcus asked upon entering the study room. "Marcus..." His mother worriedly said. "I'm glad you're already here." "Why, mom? What's the matter?" Alpha Marcus asked in a wondering manner. "It just so happened that Kai would be here in a moment." "Kai? The Oracle? Why?" "He informed me that he will visit us today 'cause he wanted to talk to you personally." Her mom seriously said. "Okay...then why do you have that such look?" Alpha Marcus said upon noticing her mother's facial expression. "I don't know, son." Her mother hesitantly answered. "It's just that..." Her mother sighed. "I got this feeling that something different may happen today." "Don't overthink too much, mom." Marcus gently patted her mother's shoulder. "It will just stress you out." "Yeah, I know." Margareth sighed. After ten minutes of waiting, Kai, the Oracle, arrived at the pack house. "It's good to see you again, Alpha." Kai greeted Alpha Mar
On the other side of the road...Emerald's lucky charm store was busy. Many customers visited them the entire day to look for lucky charms, amulets, protection gems, and others in celebration of the Lunar Festival.Lunar Festival was celebrated every February to coincide with the full moon. During this festival, humans believe that owning a lucky charm or protection gems will help them gain protection, abundance, prosperity, and success in life.Emerald was so thankful that her two angels (assistants), Summer and Autumn were very accommodating in catering to the needs of each customer. That's why all of them left the store happy and satisfied."Thank you and come again," Emerald said to the last customer as she assisted it towards the open front door. She was about to close the door when a scent of sandalwood hit her nose."Mate..." Amara excitedly said. " Look for our mate.""Yes, Amara." Emerald immediately went outside. She turned to the left side of the road to locate the scent bu
Emerald decided to go home after an hour. Instead of using ivictus (power to go to other places), she walked on the road slowly. Her mind was still full of thoughts about the Oracle's vision. After a minute of walking, Emerald crossed to the other side of the road. There was a mini park on it. She sits for a while on the wooden bench under an oak tree. She finds the place beautiful. Then, after an hour she continued to walk again. When Emerald was in the middle of the park, she noticed that someone was following her. She act naturally as if she didn't notice it but was alerted. She sensed that it was a group of rogues. She continued walking, then one of the rogues start to attack her. Emerald flips her finger to summon her elemental energy (in water form) to fight against the attacking rogue. "Who summons you?" Emerald asked the attacking rogue. But it didn't answer. "What do you want?" Still, no answer coming from the rogue. The other rogue started to attack also. Emerald conti
"She vanished again." Morris sadly said."Yeah.""But I'm hoping that we can finally meet her again on the night of the pack run," Morris whispered."I'm hoping too, Morris." Alpha Marcus replied.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxOn the mansion of Lord Vermont at the top of Ceres Mountain..."What did you say?""Someone from our allies in West City saw the Oracle go to the Blue-Eyed Pack.""What did he do there?""According to them, the Oracle met Alpha Marcus.""Why all of sudden?""That's what I'm thinking too, My Lord. So I ordered them to investigate more on this matter and have us inform right away if they find out anything.""Good. You may go now."Lord Vermont is a pure vampire from the Roscka Ancestry of Fall City. He was known for being a merciless, dangerous, and heartless kind of vampire. He's been ruling the entire Fall City for decades.Roscka and Ruvia were said to be rivals in the Human Realm due to mafia affairs and in the Demon Realm.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxThree days passed.
On the top of the mountain..."How were the new shifters?" Alpha Marcus asked Beta Miguel."They're fine, Alpha." Beta Miguel answered. "Nothing to worry about.""Good." Alpha Marcus said. He mind-linked the Gamma and instructed it to watch the new shifters for a while."Let's go, Beta."'Where are we going?""Just follow my lead." Alpha Marcus said.The two werewolves went to the other side of the mountain. They passed through the shady forest. Then, after five minutes, a pleasing scenery showed right in front of them.A lovely lagoon. The water on it was crystal-cleared. There were plentiful fireflies flying around. As the wind blows, the scent of honeysuckles filled the air. These plants were grown around the lagoon. The light coming from the full moon was giving the whole place pleasant scenery. It was mesmerizing."This place was??""The sacred lagoon.""Wow...I can't believe it," Beta Miguel said. "I thought it was just an old-time story.""Likewise. But it's true.""How did you
"Alpha...Beta..." "What's the matter, Gamma?" Alpha Marcus asked. "Alpha, you need to see this." Gamma Chris answered. "What is it?" Gamma Chris instructed a warrior to get what he was talking about. A black cloth filled with something was placed in front of Alpha Marcus. Gamma Chris opened it. It was a corpse. A human corpse. "Where did get it?" Beta Miguel asked. "We've accidentally seen this corpse near a cave on the south side of the mountain." Gamma Chris said. "I got curious upon seeing it. But right now, what's bothering me was how this human died." "Why? Did you find some flaws in it?" Alpha Marcus asked. "Yes, Alpha." Gamma Chris answered. "I find it a little strange. The corpse's body was all intact except these unique markings and this mark on her neck." "That mark on her neck?" Beta Miguel pointed his index finger at the corpse's neck. "Is it a mate mark?" "I don't think so, Beta." Gamma Chris answered. "That's a vampire's bite." Alpha Marcus declared which start
