---- continue----We engaged in a long-staring competition before Teo looked away."Are you going to argue with me all day and remind me of the man I was, or do you actually want to get something done?"I huffed. "So what's up?" I asked, leaning into my seat."The past few days you were in your... room, I discovered a few things. Werewolves are yet to notice, but all those missing wolves that were taken have been all part of the vampire prince little plan. You see, aside from being used as a blood bag for the higher vampires, they could also be changed into vampires just like the rest. This set would be stronger due to their natural born strength combined with their new found vampire strength, but they would have to lose their wolves.""We should inform the packs right away.""No, we can't; nothing can be done. I am sure the disasters are enough proof for them all to build up their defenses; the more time we spend, the more people will die.They have a hideout; this vampire 'Prince'
(CARA'S POV)There was a knock on the door, and I froze."Are you expecting anyone?" I asked, we were in the middle of nowhere, who could it be, Rollins?My heart skipped a beat."Yes, sorry, I didn't tell you; I needed an extra hand, but he would only be here for a few hours, and then I would make sure he forget everything".Teo left for the door and returned with a tall blonde man with golden brown eyes."Wow, we have some work to be done," he said his eyes on me, and then he began working.*It took hours, but he was finally done, and when I stared at the mirror, I couldn't recognize the girl I had been. The stranger also came along with some dresses, which were... different from what I was used to and a little more revealing.. maybe more than just a 'little' revealing."That's how the vampires dress," Teo told me, and I nodded, still admiring my new looks. I had golden curls now; some extensions also had to be added so my hair was longer; and then the light red contact lenses. Teo
(SOPHIE'S POV)So much had been happening recently; there had been a young wolf who went missing. The Alpha, Rollins, was restless. I secretly admired the Alpha, though I would never tell him that, but I could see the passion he had for his pack members; it was an in-built love and affecton. Even after Cara's rejection, he didn't abandon his pack; he went the extra miles, and the missing wolf had just been found. But the young shewolf had been unable to say anything for two days; she only spoke to the Alpha.They got some new information from her: the vampires were taking wolves and turning them into one of thenm.That enraged Rollins; he had triple the security, and presently the Shadow Pack was the saftest place to be- according to Laurent, but there were other things bothering me, like Ken. I hoped he wouldn't come; I didn't think he would even be able to go past their borders; he did hint that he was strong, but I didn't think he was stronger than the rest of them. The days passed
(SOPHIE'S POV)---Story Continues---"So is it now a thing?" I asked Ken."What do you mean?""I could see the look on your face when I told you that the wolves were killing your type; have you formed some kind of loyalty to your type?""I am nothing like them."I stared at him. "Are you not?""I have more control over my hunger than they do.""Then why do your eyes keep drifiting up to my neck, like I am some kind of snack?""I'm sorry, I can't help it, but I can control myself.""What if I want you to bite me?""Not this time.""But I want it." Again, I remember the feeling of being bitten; it was pure estasy, full pleasure; the whole sensation was so strong and had that sexual feel that I felt it down there.Ken came closer, his hands trailing on my lips. "I missed this," he said. "Can I?"I couldn't believe he was asking for my permission to kiss me. I reached forward and our lips met; it started soft and careful, but then things quickly got heated, and I had my back against the
(CARA'S POV)----Few days earlier----Deep in Hungary, right in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by just woods and very tall trees, was a castle. It had a modern look, but there was something strange about it—how easily one could miss such a huge building was another mystery.The sky was clouded, and I got why this would be 'their' hideout; the castle was intimidating, but if I wanted to get in, I had to fit in."Ready," Teo asked me, and I nodded, putting on my black cape and taking up the hoodie."We will meet again soon; you need to get as much information from them as possible; know their plans, their weaknesses, everything, and this." He passed me a bottle of colorless liquid. "It's neutralizer; it is not the best, but it would do. Though you need to apply it daily, I'll have to move to a house close by, and I will be waiting for you. There is no need to search for me; I will find you." He finished, and we stared at each other. He came closer as if to leave a kiss, but instead h
(CARA'S POV)"I cannot share the same room with you, ...sir.""Who knows, I might want a midnight snack," he says, his strange eyes piercing into mine."I refuse to share the same room with you.""Fine""What?""You want your room; you get your room; your loss; I could have made it more fun and pleasurable in your case."I couldn't help but give a small smile; that was easy, but the smile disappeared when my eyes met the dead girl laying there on the floor; that could be me there. "And you can call me by my name. Vlade Drakul""Vlad, what would you do with the girl's body?" I asked, and he seemed to have forgotten about the girl he had so easily killed."Does it disturb you?, the sight of blood and dead bodies?"I was silent for a while; of course, it did bother me, but he didn't have to know that. "No""It should not; you would see more of that." I felt the irritation rise, and I held in my sneer. "I must say, you are different. Where are you from?""You should know better.""And su
(SOPHIE'S POV)---- Back to the present... "That's enough," Ken said to me, but I wouldn't stop drinking; all my injuries healed up like some kind of magic; I felt nourished, which was strange; and I couldn't stop drinking his blood.He pulled away his wrist, his eyes bright. "That did feel good," he admitted."Tell me about it.""I didn't think you would like it that much.""Neither did I; maybe I am a vampire after all," I said, joking, and we both chuckled.There was a moment of silence, and he was the first to break it."I want you to know Sophie; I don't just see you as a blood bag; I really, really like you, and I'm ready to change if only you come back to me. I understood that he is your mate, so the choice is up to you, but from now until eternity, I will always love you; you will be the only one for me and even if you don't choose me, I would be waiting till you do", he confessed, and his words hit deep.From the first time I saw Ken, I knew things would be different; even Ca
(SOPHIE'S POV)"It's alright" Laurent assured me, "I just need to heal," he said, and I could only nod."Do you need anything to eat or maybe to drink?""No, I am fine, but there is one thing I do need: stay with me; I want to talk to you.""I am here.""You know, you are the best thing that ever happened to me. I've always waited for the day I would find my mate. All my life, I didn't realize it, but there was always this emptiness, this loneliness I felt," he said. His eyes were glassy, and there was so much emotion in them, I realized I hadn't bothered to even know more about him."Tell me more," I said, out of curiosity—or maybe something more."My brother, Teo, I guess you've heard of him; we were all living together; I could barely remember those good times; it always seemed so far away, maybe too good to be true, when I had a mother, a father, and a brother. We were one happy family, but everything changed after my father's death." He paused to inhale sharply. I couldn't tell
(Epilouge, Part One)(ROLLIN'S POV) I walked into my room to see Gwen there. I didn't know how to tell her. Cara had decided that she would stay in one of the guests rooms till it was all over, but I knew that I wouldn't be able to stay here knowing that Cara was just a few rooms away and I had never been the one to get sneaky. Gwen had to know."We need to talk," I said to Gwen. She looked tiny now, too thin, but I still thought she was beautiful."It's about her, right?" she asked."I don't want you to stress yourself.""Let me guess, she is back at the pack, you both are back together, and you guys are waiting for me to die so you could go on with your relationships, right?" She asked, and I was silent. I had never felt this kind of guilt, but she surprised me when she smiled."I knew this was going to happen, but you see, I don't even care about the fact that all that went on between the both of us isn't real; I don't care about any of that. I am happy; you made me happy, and you
Three days after the war.I wished I could follow Rollins back to our pack; I wished... but I knew that things would never be the same, and so here I was, with Teo. I couldn't deny that I wanted to be with Rollins; every fiber of my being wanted him, but I couldn't have him.Teo walked down the stairs, fully dressed."Are we going somewhere?" I asked"No, not we, me."I shrugged. "Okay, when would you be back? ", He stared at me, giving me that long look. "Are you leaving me?" I asked, and I couldn't hold back the sob."Is not... is not in that way.""I don't understand.""We were never a thing; as much as I wanted it and still do, I know you love someone else, and I've learned some good lessons, we don't always get what we want , I would always love you, but not in that way, not anymore. You love Rollins; you would never settle for less. I want you to go get him.""What if he doesn't want me?""You both were meant for each other; I don't know what the outcome will be, but what I can
(Cara's POV)Teo led me towards the exit; he held the most of my weight, and I limped trying to go faster."Wait!""No, we have to go," he said, tugging me on, but I had stopped moving. I thought I saw something. "That window," I said, pointing to the window we just passed."No, Cara, not now.""Take me back," I said.Teo made an annoyed sound before taking me back. I looked through the window; I knew what I had seen. The 'human' girls ran out of the gate, but there were two vampires running after them. Those two vampires alone would be able to finish them off; how did they escape?"Sophie," I gasped."I'm sorry, Cara, we can't save them.""Yes, we can't, but you can.""Cara, I was given an order; I have failed him enough; please, we need to go.""Face the truth, Teo, I won't be allowed out of here, but they... they are so close to freedom, please. I have done so many wrongs; I want to do this one right thing, please.""Wait here, don't move one bit; you hear me, don't fucking move."
(ROLLINS POV)"I want to give you a more honorable death. I'll let you kill yourself," he said, throwing the gun at me. "One shot to the brain, that would do," he said, his face still having that smirk I hated."And what do you know about honor?" I asked, staring at the gun, that wouldn't kill him, I knew it."Nothing. That would have been a better death... but now," his eyes glittered. "Welcome to hell," and then there was darkness. I could not see a single thing, and then Cara came into view, it was like a clip was being replayed before my eyes, a clip from my mind. She walked into Teo's room and let her robe fall to the ground.Teo waited on the bed, watching her, his eyes watching every part of her. I couldn't run from this; it was like I had been trapped by some invisible force in a very dark room.And then I saw Teo again, forcing himself on her. I watched her sob.I inhaled. "Get out of my head," I growled."Not yet," Vlad whispered, and then I was in my pack. The Shadow Pack
(Laurent's POV)I couldn't look her in the eyes; she didn't know that I had come searching for her. When Teo told me she was here too, I knew that I had to find her, but I couldn't even look at her. I couldn't let her deceive me this one more time.Maybe we were never meant to be. The thought alone caused a strange kind of anger to rise in me, and I finished off the vampire. I exited her room, her scent in there was too strong. Finally, I could focus; I knew my next target. Ken.I ran through the hallways, checking through room, to find him. Nothing."I guess I am the one you have been looking for." Slowly, I turned back to see Ken, and a smirk spread on my face."I've always wanted to pass a stake into your heart.""Why? Because I have every right to fuck your mate, or perhaps because she would always be left with a part of me any fucking place she goes.""Maybe you are right, but guess what?" I asked, not even waiting for his answer, "We both won't be getting her.""Not if I kill
(SOPHIE'S POV)Ken left to help his master. Vlad. There had been an attack; I heard the shouts; I didn't know what exactly was happening, and maybe I didn't want to know anymore.I had made so many bad decisions in my life; I know I deserved this. I had never been a good girl, unlike Cara. I played with the feelings of others and was only loyal to Cara as a friend.My thoughts were cut short when the door to my room busted open and a vampire walked in. I knew him; he had always watched me with an expression on his face. I could only place it as hunger... and lust; he wanted my blood; he wanted to feed; and he wouldn't care if I died in the process. Ken was nowhere to be found; maybe he was dead. I was shocked that the thought of Ken dead didn't make me feel anything at all.The vampire licked his whitish lips as he moved closer, his dark red eyes regarding me, maybe deciding where to sink his teeth, and then they settled on my baby bump."No!, stay away from me!" I cried out. I hadn'
(ROLLINS POV)I knew I was in the right location when I got to the castle-like building; it had this dark loom over it; this had to be the place.Teo walked forward; he knew the directions. All through the journey here, I had given the two brothers some distance, as I knew they had a lot of catching up to do."That is the main gate; there are vampires guarding the gates—the strong ones; there is no way we can go in without being detected.""Then we would have to kill them as fast as we can," I said to him, and we walked towards the gates. Of course, the vampires noticed that we were not a part of them quicker than I anticipated. We had to act fast; there were about five of them at the entry. Teo ran forward; his speed alone told me he was stronger now, different. He faced two, engaging in hand-to-hand combat. I threw a wooden stake I had carved to him, and he slammed into the eyes of one. The remaining three came at me, all ready. I tried holding them all back at once till Laurent j
(Cara's POV)Shade walked into my room. I knew why he was here; it was time for my doze of wolf's bane. The past few days, I have begun to feel less pain anytime the liquid was injected into my veins, but I didn't know how much longer I would last.I didn't know where Rollins was now or what he would be doing. Had Teo found somewhere to start a new life? That would be better for him."It's so funny how this little liquid causes your kind so much pain," Shade said with a smirk as he drew closer. "I love seeing you in pain, and guess what? Vlad had been busy recently..." he trailed off, his hands on my throat. "And right now... he isn't watching you; he has finally seen you for what you are—a slut. He has that already; he doesn't need you, but I want to know... I've always wanted to know what he enjoyed when he was with you and what he saw so differently.His hands went down to my breast, and he pressed hard on it, his eyes brightening up. "Does this turn you on?""Get your hands off me
(ROLLIN'S POV)I couldn't bear it, that she was there with HIM. Teo assured me that he wouldn't harm her; Vlad wanted her alive... for other purposes, and that made me furious at the fact that he had touched her, but I guessed she knew when she was going to work for him.She was only helping. I tried to tell myself, after all she had said it, that I could be with anyone I wanted to be with, and I shouldn't be mad at her for fucking the vampire prince to get what she wanted. I couldn't help but wonder if she was hurt; if the bastard hurt her, I was going to kill him. But then again, vampires were already dead.Teo had managed to bring Laurent back from the woods. It was a wonder to me how he had yet again changed; little by little, he was becoming the Laurent I knew, but if you looked deeper into his eyes, you would see the little emptiness. Still, it was better; he was back now.Teo, Laurent, and Lucian sat in my office as we discussed tactics. Though deep down we knew the odds were a
