[Back in Cithara]“Yah! Yah!”Just in the training arena, the security department practiced the art of fighting to improve their colony. Their fists were against one another, so did their weapons clinked and clanked against each other.Klyde, the hidden werewolf who lost his twin, watched them through the transparent glass of the training room.“Lovely sight, isn’t it?”Senora Savannah stepped forward, asking. Though most people had been reluctant for the stranger to stay in Cithara, her guts told her to help the outsider.“Not too bad,” Klyde smirked, folding his hands.Senora narrowed her eyebrows at what he had just said. This were her best men and she expected him to commend her team.“They are my best men. Do you have something to suggest or offer?” she asked.“My knees haven’t healed. However, I’ll show you, since you asked.” Klyde replied her, with a low growl from his wolf.He was a powerful Alpha blood but she didn’t need to know that.“Let’s go in, then.” Senora pushed the e
MayaDING! DING!My hands reached for my phone, only to read a message from Rufus. “There is a problem,” It read. “My mum is being secretive today; I know she’s planning something…”My chest tightened in anxiousness. My fingers swiftly begun to reply. “What did you hear?”“Be wary of the escort with purple clothing. That’s the color of the South Side.”I stood up after replying him, with an ‘okay’. I commenced pacing the room instantly. My skin connected with the ray of sunlight that shone from the window. It was intact, however, thanks to the sunlight. I stepped out of the sunlight’s kiss, removing my pendant.“Ouch!” I hissed in hurt, at the burning sensation, withdrawing my fingers. A knock resonated through the door and someone strolled in.“Maya,”I looked back to see Delilah in blazers paired with a white t-shirt and blue fitted jeans.“Hey…” I trailed, feigning a smile like I was okay. Her hands patted my shoulders.“We have to make a move now. I contacted Javier. He intends to
Maya“The banquet would be tonight,”I narrowed my eyes at the words of the escort with the purple clothing of the South Side. “The Queen informs me to extend her invitation personally,”Delilah’s brow arched, while I moved to take it. I also had a doubtful expression, but I tried my best not to make the made notice it. As I gripped the letter, Delilah asked,“Isn’t the banquet meant for the return of his son? Why is this still on?”The escort gave a mischievous and sly smile before replying. “The Queen plans on celebrating the new bride of the Vampire Court, Princess Maya.”“Huh?!” I couldn’t help that reaction.“I’ll get going now, she gave me invite for other important guests.”The door slammed shut, and I opened the letter immediately while Delilah waited in curiosity for me to read it.“You are cordially invited to the celebration of the new bride, Maya Sanchez. Don’t miss it for nothing.” The Queen.“W-What
Maya“Dear citizens of the Vampire Clan, as you know we are gathered here to celebrate the new bride of the Royal household.”“Until the Prince returns to face his designated punishment, she is not to be marked as a threat. Princess Maya has been dutiful to the Court,”“However, I must reveal a great secret that could affect the safety of the Royal palace.” The Queen let out.Trixie was just by her side as she spoke, with her children seated with King Vladmir.“Maya Sanchez is from the clan of the longtime enemies of the Vampire— the Marine Dwellers,”My hands trembled in confusion.“What are you talking about?” I muttered those words immediately. “My parents were humans.”Judgmental gasps resonated through the room.“Human parents?”“Then how is she a vampire?”“Was she turned? *Gasp* Is she an unwanted blood?”“The Prince of Darkness just had to cause another issue again!” A Vampire Elder shrieked.Maybe I shouldn’t have said that.I moved two steps behind from my position, to do wh
Maya"W-what did... I ever do to you..." I gasped at my childhood best friend, trying to swim out. Suddenly, the lake water current instantly became high. I tried struggling and swimming my way out of it but my efforts were futile. Three faces.I saw three people before I drowned in. The first was Queen Zoraida, the second was crying Trixie. Third was my childhood best friend, Kathleen, who had a mischievous expression on her face.As the water current pulled me in, my chest grew numb. I began to see a combination of red and blue dots, succumbing to the darkness…Wondered if this was the end... ***My eyes flickered open, only to see some humane looking creature chanting something. “Aliento de mar…”Words which meant, breath of the sea. “Grant this unto your lost daughter. Make her breath to avenge her death.”It was almost like I was in a lucid dream. I could hear those words clearly however, I wasn’t moving, not even an inch. I heard hisses and whispers.“She finally came, it see
[Back in the Palace]“The Princess is missing,”The Queen announced those words, firmly. There were gasps by the invited guests of the important vampire clan.“This is a threat to the Royal Palace. How did it even happen?” King Vladmir stepped forward asking.“My sweet King, I’m unaware but from the way things appear, it seems she ran away, out of guilt and shame. As it should be!” Queen Zoraida added.“Mum?"“Don’t.” Katherine stopped her brother who was about standing from his throne in Maya’s defense.“What crimes could be severe than a husband that rebelled and the fact that her secret as a Mariner was discovered?”As the Queen asked the rhetorical, there were judgmental whispers all around the room. This went on for weeks, even after the occasion ended. Slowly, everything around the palace went back to its melancholy state…It seemed Maya and Javier’s presence livened the palace’s events.Even the vampire escorts and servants could feel this too.One day, the proposed Crown Princ
[Back in Cithara]“Father?”“Can you hear me? Father! Father!!” Klyde cried out in mind link. “We were attacked, all our men died. Your son is dead. Don’t wait for us…”He clenched his heart in hurt, with tears pooling his eyes. “I’m sorry, I should have protected them but we were outnumbered. Nikolai um… scarified himself. He died a hero…”“That’s how I got away. Can you hear me? Can you…”There was no reply from the mind link he was trying to create. Klyde didn’t stop. He tried again…Not until it dawned on him that a werewolf could only mind link with another if they were on the same grounds together. And, right now, he was miles apart from his father…“Dammit!” He pushed his tray of food to the floor in anger. Arya, the young girl who knew his secret, rushed to pick everything he threw away, with a distasteful look at him.“Why do you cry at every chance you get, Mr? Did you lose something?”He turned the other direction, wiping off whatever made him not look like a man.The fact
Javier My bite mark throbbed, suddenly hurting to the extent that it pierced through my skin. A burning sensation, crept under my skin strenuously. “Maya.” I muttered, knowing something had gone wrong in the palace. Whatever it was, my wife wasn’t okay. And whichever fucker that was involved in that was going to pay badly… “My Prince!!” Lannister rushed forward in his Elven attire, a brownish shirt with trousers, he blended with. Mine was similar to his, however, I was beginning to second guess this entire disguise thing. “What do you intend to do?” I snarled at his question. “My mate is hurt. I.Need.To.Fucking.See.Her.” He drew nearer, with a determined gaze. "I’m afraid you can’t. Remember our takeover plans, once they capture you, it’s all over.” “Nonsense!!” I growled. Could feel my eyes dilate into pool black at him. “I’m going back for her. You’re not going to stop me.” Lannister suddenly surged forward with his minesweeper at me. I sidestepped it immediately, giving him
