As Edward arrived at the Castle, he decided to shut down his mind to stop those feelings from drifting in. That feeling of regret and guilt. He decided to follow the front way; perhaps, someone could follow him again. First, he noticed some of his blood clan brothers discussing on the lawn each, carrying a glass of wine.When he entered the large hall that led to the first floor, he could see more people neatly dressed. Ladies wore dinner gowns while the guys sported themselves in well fitted jackets and trousers. Lights shimmered inside the hall from the chandeliers that hung from the roof and he could feel a whirl of exhilaration mixed up with the different scents of the cologne from people in the crowd.He was taking in the air around him with bewilderment, wondering why there was a party. He narrowed his eyes for traces of any of his family members. But there was non.As he squeezed himself through the crowd, his eyes caught a glimpse of an old friend that he grew up together wit
If he doesn't stay for the party in the castle, his bloodclan brothers might start searching for him. Particularly George who seems to always stick around him like a perching fly. He still promised himself to go to Western Hosbon no matter how late and he wished that Sam would forgive him.He admired himself one last time from the mirror before he went out to check on Alpha Marcus. Who was now in a deep sleep while his body was half covered with a duvet, thick and soft. He met Alice on the way as he was about to go to her room.Her handmaids had already done a clean job from what he was seeing. She was wearing a pale, blue dinner gown trimmed in delicate white lace. Her shinny, black hair was tied at the back while her lashes flickered in shyness. She was happy and scared too.She was happy that she could finally meet people after many years in her desolation. She was also happy that she wasn't left to stay alone in her room with those maids that shot a saucy look at her every now or
He narrowed his eyes and saw them, the veiled woman and the four men standing as if they had finally seen a prey that they had long waited for. The veiled woman hissed for the four men and they leaped towards Edward. When they were just a few miles away from where Edward was standing, they halted and began to display their various acrobatics and skills in the same manner they were trained. Edward ignored them and allowed them to finish their show.The four men attacked him at the same time, throwing punches which he dodged and now threw them off, one after another. It seemed as if the veiled woman was seeing clearly as she didn't flinch, despite watching the way he punched and threw them off. Edward wasn't putting any weight or using any of his numerous skills yet the four men were finding it hard to reach him, not even a mere bruise could be seen on any part of his body as they couldn't catch up with his speed.Edward became more pathetic for the men so he decided to save them their
Earlier,Different peopled trooped into the castle at Eastern Hosbon with smiling faces, happy that Alpha Marcus had finally woken up. How fast the news spread that almost each family in the Jules' Werewolf pack heard it.From the main gate that secured the entire Jules' Werewolf pack, there were many Werewolf Hunters that dispersed themselves around watching out for an enemy. Even though It has been a long time since they got into war with their enemies, the Werewolf Hunters are always standby.Nevertheless, they had become even more watchful ever since they learnt that Edward killed one of their enemies and they did conclude that their enemies were seeking revenge since Alpha Marcus was attacked and poisoned by some Drudge Vampires. While they were there, they saw a veiled figure walking towards the big iron gate. They became alert and ready to attack Incase it turnes out to be an enemy.They were able to see her clearly as the veiled figure drew nearer. It was a woman that wore a p
Edward furiously stared at her as he had now realized that she was an enemy. He couldn't help imagining that Alice would have gotten hurt all because of him. No, all because of this woman. Layla smirked and cracked her neck showing her readiness again. She leaped onto his body aiming to bite his neck but Edward Shaked her off with a hard punch that crashed her against a tree. He rushed towards where she lay, carried her up and began to bang her against the tree. His mind went blank as he continuously battered her against the tree.Layla almost puffed out. She realized that this man was more powerful than she could have ever imagined it. She closed her eyes, trying to shake off the too much pain that she was getting. The thought that she was finally going to die in the hands of their enemies struck her heart. Rufus's words were almost coming to pass.Her eyes teared up when she envisioned herself burning just the same way her Drudge Vampires had burnt and the fact that she won't see L
He enjoyed every bit of It and didn't want to stop twirling her. In an attempt to hold on tightly, Sam thrusted her finger into his sides. His shirt was light so Edward could feel the warmth from her hands. He was finding it hard to control himself as his fangs came into view.He groaned, as he tried to push his fangs back inside. Sam slowly released her hand but her fingertips were now tickling his ribs. He tried to suppress the laughter until he eventually dropped her.They were both sweaty. Edward gazed at her with a hint of concern. "Are you alright?" He asked and he could see some strands of her hair trapped to her face due to her perspiration."I'm just a little bit sweaty." Sam replied and began to breeze herself using her palms."I am so sorry, It's all my fault." He said as he brushed away the strands of her hair and wiped away the sweats simultaneously."You don't need to be sorry about anything. It was fun." Sam replied but Edward persisted.He was taking his time to wipe h
As Layla stood before other Grand Elders of the Volturi, there was a series of thoughts that flowed into her head. She thought of the punishment which she might receive from Lord Ray for not doing what he had asked. She was dressed in her usual black garment and her wounds had already healed.There was a deafening silence while they were all anticipating for him to come at any time. Rufus shot his eyes at Layla and smirked. He couldn't wait to see her get punished.They all stood and bowed their heads as Lord Ray approached his seat. He took a glance at Layla and drew into the conclusion that she failed her assignment. He was not that kind of man else he would tortured and locked her up for many days. "I see that you didn't bring Luciana's daughter with you." He said in his usual calm manner. Layla bowed her head in shame and pain.She didn't want him to lose his trust in her. She felt like stabbing herself in the heart as she couldn't make use of the chance she was given. She faile
At Jasper's quarter in the mansionInside a large room, Jasper was seated on a chair and table that was set in the center of the room. The room was looking like a haunted house because of the many strange things in it.The windows were dust-covered with bloody fingerprints, having ripped curtains and cobwebs on the roof. The wall at the back corner of the large room was hung with different swords, spears and shades. Perhaps, It was what he used to train his Drudge Vampires.Shifting to the right corner of the room, the framed portraits of Lord Ray's family were hung on the wall. The hierarchy began from his father, followed by his mother before you would now see Ella and Ray's portraits. The shocking aspect of it was that each of the portraits were ticked (❌) except for that of Ray and his sister.The room was exuding a foul stench from the dry blood that stained the ground and the mixture of the choking smoke from a calabash filled the room but he seemed comfortable with it along wit
Edward returned back to Jule's pack with his Mom. She happened to be amongst Jasper's Drudge Vampires. Edward was extremely happy to finally set his eyes on his Mom.When he was crowned the Chosen Alpha of Jule's pack, his Mom was seated by his side. She got banished by his father back then but he won't let such a thing happen to her again. He now has the laws into his hands.Alpha Marcus was greedy for the Alpha's title so he decided to manipulate everyone to go against Edward and his Mom. He used cocooned Alice to begin his adventure but his evil plans backfired. He died alongside poor Alice. When the news got to Luciana about what happened to her children, she went into a coma and passed away afterwards. What pained Edward most was the death of poor Alice but on a second thought, he felt it was better for her to rest from all the suffering she had been passing through.Back at the Maklaiv Coven, Sam and Ray where seated on the cripsy sand of the beach, watching the water as it roll
Jasper was shocked and happy at the same time on seeing that it was Lord Ray. It would be much easier now for him to kill Ray.Without uttering any more words to each other, their swords collided with each other's. Noises from the clapping of their swords filled the air, making Sam turn back and watch them.Despite all his study with the soulshifting books, Lord Ray still overshadowed him with all his moves. He was as fast as flash as he dodged all strikes made by Jasper but the latter wouldn't relent. He jumped into the air and lifted his sword, his two hands tightly gripped the handle. He was about to thrust it into Lord Ray's ribs but Lord Ray used his own sword and defended it. The force he used in striking Jasper's sword made the sword drop to the floor. He was left with nothing to defend himself any longer.At that moment, Lord Ray became fully in charge. The only thing that was left for Jasper to do was to say his last prayer because he was definitely going to be killed.Sudden
On the D-Day, all the vampires assembled at southern Hosbon, waiting for the werewolf hunters to join them. After some minutes, Edward marched out with his most trained Werewolf Hunters and joined the vampires. He had to take the lead alongside Ray and Sam since he was the only one that knew the location of the Cave.It took them days before they finally arrived at a spot. The thick haze was hovering all over the place but they still managed to see the Cave. The sight of the Cave made everyone very furious. For the fact that their enemy has been hiding there for years and they have been fools all this while not to have found out about this cave. At that moment, the only thing that Sam thought of was her Mom. She knew that it wasn't going to be easy to find her since Edward said Jasper placed all his Drudge Vampires under a spell but she wouldn't give up in searching for her.Edward asked them to wait at that spot for him while he went to find a way that could lead them inside the Cav
She kept on riding him slowly with her waist and he just couldn't hold himself any longer. His hands and legs were still tied to the bed but he didn't mind. He began to move his waist up and down in order to meet up with his desire.At this junction, Sam was moaning and calling his name. She was no longer in control because the pleasure was too much for her body. Just as he was about to take her with him to the moon, he increased his pace. He then noticed the sudden change in her eyes and before he gave her the last thrust, she yanked her fangs into his neck.The following morning, Lord Ray woke up and narrowed his eyes as he didn't see her. The picture of what happened the previous night appeared in his head, making him smile within him. Before anything else, he rushed into the bathroom and had a shower. He bumped into the food that was served for him on the table and this got him even more scared.He teleported himself out of the room in search of her. He walked over to Jereni's roo
After forty-eight hours, there wasn't any more hope left for everyone. There wasn't any sign to show that Sam would ever wake up.Ray was devastated and sad. He couldn't even look at the baby's face. He didn't know whether to blame the Cadicarat or the baby since they were both the cause of all the pains he was passing through at that point. Suddenly, he stood up from where he was sitting and focused his gaze at the window. Sunrays shimmered in through the window and casted the shadow of the iron window on the wall.Seeing the sun, only one thing dropped into his heart. At that moment, all that he desired was to kill himself by burning his body in the sun. Nobody noticed him as he slowly began to walk towards the door that led to the sit out.As he walked, images of Sam drifted into his head. He didn't realize that his eyes had already teared up and the tears were threatening to stroll down from his eyes. All that he wished was to stand in the sit out and get burnt by the sun.As he a
The Grand Elders of the Volturi didn't take Lord Ray's condition too seriously. They all felt that he would get better since he was the Lord and also the most powerful amongst them. Rufus was shocked to see him the following day. He was dying and just like Sam, he was turning pale while his eyes were dilating with weakness."What should we do, my Lord?" Rufus asked, waving his head in pity. In his entire lifetime, he has never seen Lord Ray in such a condition even to the extent of not being able to speak to anyone.After some minutes, the Mouthpiece visited Lord Ray's Mansion. It was there and then he narrated the source of his sudden illness to them all. They all cried bitterly after they heard him say the right time had come for him to die."The Cadicarat…" flowed out from everyone's lips almost at the same time. "My Lord, why did you have to fall for a human when you could have any woman of your choice in this Coven? Oh! No." Rufus mumbled within himself.Suddenly, Lord Ray raise
"My Lord, I am sorry to tell you that she might not survive after giving birth." The doctor said as he bowed his head for Lord Ray."What do you mean by that? She is just like every other woman. Why can't she survive after her delivery?" Lord Ray asked with pain in his tone but the doctor was just quiet. Actually, it wasn't his fault and was going to put all his best just to make sure that she survived it. After all, he was noted as the best doctor in the entire Coven. He wouldn't let her die for the sake of Lord Ray because he knew the repercussions.They were still talking when they heard a scream coming from Sam's room. In fact, it was her voice that they all heard. Everyone scurried into the room almost at the same time.Sam was in serious pain. The way she toasted herself from one side of the bed to the other side showed it."Ray, what should I do? I can't feel myself anymore." She said with a cracked voice as tears trickled down from her eyes.Ray was speechless and confused as
After some minutes, an ambulance drove into the premises. Two young men wearing the same uniform; oxblood coverall rushed towards Aunty Suzi, carrying a stretcher. They placed Sam on it after checking her vitals."Sir, she is unconscious. Her B.p is 140 over 100. Her pulse is 72 and there is a rise in her temperature." One of the young men said to the man that climbed out of the car. From his look, he seemed like the doctor even though he wasn't putting on the Lab coat."You need to sign these papers before we take her with us. You don't have to panic. The issue is not a very tough one. Her b.p is high and we need to boost it with an infusion." The man said, handing over the papers to Aunty Suzi. After signing them, she handed it back to him and they were about to push her into the ambulance."Excuse me, Doctor." Everyone turned as they heard the voice, even the doctor turned as well. The voice emanated a different aura, fear mixed with dreadfulness."I don't want her to be admitted t
After waiting for him for so long, Sam urged Jereni to quickly drive her to Western Hosbon. She would definitely be in big trouble if Aunty Suzi's driver arrived before her.On their way, Sam started up a conversation. She was eager to know why Lord Ray's meeting was taking so long to end. He promised to drive her to Western Hosbon but it happened to be Jereni doing it right now."The Alpha of Jule's pack came to pay a visit to the Vampires. He caused a big scene." Jereni said, casting a glance on the side view mirror before she maneuvered the steering to the left lane of the tarred road."Is he that bad?" Sam asked, raising her brows. The picture of Edward dropped into her head. She knew he was a wolf but he never caused any scene whenever she was around him."Yes. He is the Vampire's mortal enemy." Jereni said, nodding simultaneously. She suddenly became comfortable with Sam, to the extent of sharing this kind of information with her. Sam didn't seem surprised by her words because s
