Katrina had never seen Tyler act like this. He hadn’t seemed scared or uncomfortable around them, but now he seemed to have forgotten what he was doing for a moment and just kept staring at her hand in surprise.
He shook his head slowly a few more times, as if to remind himself to focus on something else, and slowly began to eat his bread. Kat could tell by the way that Tyler’s eyebrows furrowed and the way he chewed on his food that he was struggling. And she wasn’t sure why. Was he worried that something was wrong with him?
He was acting strangely and he wasn’t even touching the food that was placed on the ground, instead watching her and the others eat.
They hadn’t spoken about what had happened. The last thing he needed was strangers finding out about h
Katrina watched him carefully as he stared up into the darkness in a seemingly hopeless attempt to find some sort of explanation in it. She couldn’t help but notice he didn’t seem to be bothered by being alone with her. He didn’t look like he wanted to leave. As his eyes flickered towards hers, Tyler’s pupils darkened and his eyes glowed orange. They were the same color as the glowing flames dancing under the night sky. She found herself mesmerized by the beautiful, hypnotic shade. His eyebrows scrunched up as the orange intensified, making his face more prominent. In mere moments the glow had spread throughout his entire body, illuminating the dim light of the fire that surrounded them. His hair started turning darker as the glow intensified and his
There was no reason to act like nothing bothered him. The fear was gone. It had disappeared in a flash, leaving him vulnerable. He wasn't scared anymore. He was ready to face whatever was going to happen with her and accept whatever was going to happen in the future. A small smile appeared on his face. He didn't dare show it to anyone else, not even her. But it wasn't for her. It was just because he was finally feeling comfortable and happy. And it felt amazing, really. "Let's get going", she murmured, standing up. "We shouldn't stay here any longer than we already have". Tyler rose up slowly, but as soon as he did, a sharp pain shot through his chest, causing him to take a couple of steps backwards. He gasped for air after tak
“You know what we were told: the strongest among us has to fight for the honor of being chosen by the moon goddess to protect the alpha. But do not worry. It’ll all work out in the end.” She laughed heartily and clapped Father Gervais on the shoulder. “Now then, it looks like we need to find another place to eat. My stomach is getting quite hungry. What say you?” he asked. Father Gervais nodded. “Of course, we can find somewhere else. Follow me please.” He turned around and started making his way toward a small stone doorway on the far side of the hall. Katie turned around to face Tyler who was standing frozen in spot, his eyes glued to the ground. He was still shaking uncontrol
Slowly, he turned around, gazing at the vast expanse of dark, silent water. For the longest time, the only sound he could hear was the soft whisper of the breeze and the faint, distant cries of children screaming for help in the distance. Then, finally, it was over. The waters calmed down and went back to their original state, leaving only the sounds of the night breeze rustling the trees, birds chirping softly in the background. Tyler couldn’t believe what he was seeing. There was a woman. Her eyes were open, unblinking, staring up at the moon above her with a blank expression that matched the peaceful look on her beautiful face. She seemed unaware of where she was, where she was going; everything seemed so
— Emily —. After the death of her parents, Emily felt devastated. It got worse when the alpha wasn’t even ready to listen to her. All of this made her depressed and anxious, as if a storm was brewing that she couldn’t see or hear. The worst part was that he never bothered to even look at her; it seemed like his mind was only focused on other people. It was infuriating, but she had gotten used to it in their first year together. She was his mate for crying out loud. He should at least pay attention to her. Or maybe there was nothing to pay attention to... She knew he didn't care about her. His whole body language and behaviour indicated otherwise. He acted like she was invisible whenever she spoke up. If they were still together, he would probably have looked down upon her. At the very least, she could have been treated with respect. His son, Eric, was
Zack took her in and offered her a place to stay for a little longer before sending her off again. It took some effort to convince Zack to agree to her terms, and it took some negotiation on his part as well. But eventually, he agreed. He gave her a map and gave her the name of a local hunter he knew who lived nearby, giving her permission to visit if she ever decided to travel elsewhere, in the event that she could afford it. She left and traveled west, taking the same road she had taken in her youth, but this time with purpose and purpose. Her journey lasted weeks, traveling and adventuring as she traveled further north and farther south, learning more and more about what the wilds had to offer. She studied different cultures and cultures of different tribes throughout the lands, searching fo
When he turned back into human, he was standing in the middle of the woods, staring up at the night sky, his legs shaking, his vision blurred with fear and hate. The book was gone. It was gone, lost to the annals of history. The book was taken away. The only copy that existed in the world. And yet, it was still here. In front of him, within reach. The alpha was frozen, completely speechless, his mind blank as his thoughts drifted back to that terrible night in the library when the words 'The Book of Power' had appeared before his very eyes. What he'd seen had not been a vision, it had been real. He didn't know how long he stood there, stunned, in utter shock, unable to process what just
She was inside. It was dimly lit but it was dark and cold, so she could tell. She wasn't sure how many hours had passed. There was no clock anywhere to judge from and she couldn't hear anything other than her own heartbeat and her harsh panting. At some point she'd moved. It was difficult for her to tell how much. Everything felt sluggish and off. Her muscles weren't responding the way they should, and every movement sent jolts of pain shooting through her body. Still, she couldn't move. Even if she could, she wouldn't leave her position. It was safer if she remained where she was. If someone found her here, she could easily disappear. And she would need their assistance to escape. She sighed shakily, pulling her legs to her chest an
As Tyler walked through the chambers of the vampire kingdom, his mind wandered back to the last time he had seen Emily. Months had passed since their chance encounter in a bustling nightclub, where they had shared an intense and passionate night together. They had both been consumed by the moment, swept away in a whirlwind of desire.But when Tyler had awakened the next morning, he found himself alone in the disheveled hotel room. Emily had vanished, leaving behind nothing but memories and unanswered questions. He had desperately searched for her, but all his efforts had been in vain.Now, the familiar scent that had enveloped him earlier became even stronger, leading him to the very heart of the vampire kingdom. And there she stood, Emily, before him once more.Unable to resist, Tyler reached out, pulling her into an embrace. All his emotions, longing, and unanswered questions surged to the surface. He held onto her tightly, unable to let go. Emily, too, felt the depth of their conne
Alpha Gerald, burdened by the disappearance of Emily and the unsettling capture of Tyler, devised a daring plan to confront the vampire queen, Sofia, and uncover the truth about Emily's whereabouts. He understood that gaining access to the throne of the Lycan king could serve as a strategic ploy to gauge Sofia's involvement. Dressed in his customary regalia, Gerald once again approached the foreboding castle where the vampire queen held court. The corridors felt eerily familiar, yet his resolve remained unshaken. He was determined to unravel the web of intrigue that surrounded him. As he entered the grand chamber, Gerald noticed a distinct tension in the air. The vampire queen sat upon her throne, exuding an aura of power and intrigue. He bowed before her, his eyes never leaving her gaze. "Your Majesty," Gerald began, his voice steady and composed. "I come before you once again to beseech your aid, not only for the sake of our kind but for the preservation of harmony b
Emily, driven by a thirst for knowledge and a relentless curiosity, had immersed herself in the study of vampire lore. Her research had led her to uncover intriguing clues about the enigmatic vampire queen, Sofia, and the possibility of accessing the throne that held immense power within the vampire realm. As Emily delved deeper into ancient texts and obscure manuscripts, she pieced together fragments of forgotten history. Legends whispered of a hidden ritual that, if performed correctly, would grant unparalleled authority and control over the vampire kingdom. It was said to be a path shrouded in darkness and treachery, where only the cunning and determined could succeed. Armed with newfound knowledge, Emily embarked on a perilous journey to gather the necessary artifacts and information. She traversed haunted ruins, sought guidance from wise scholars, and engaged with secretive covens, always staying one step ahead of those who would seek to thwart her ambitions. Howe
Alpha Gerald paced back and forth in the dimly lit chamber, his frustration mounting with every step. His meticulously planned ritual to unlock the ancient secrets contained within the Moon Book Chronicles of power had been disrupted, and the source of his frustration was none other than the absence of his prisoner, Emily. The room, adorned with ancient symbols and flickering candles, resonated with an air of malevolence as Gerald's mind raced to comprehend what had transpired. He had carefully selected Emily, a young woman with unique blood properties, as the key to open the Moon Book. Her lineage held a long-lost connection to the mystical energies required for the ritual. Alpha Gerald had spared no expense or effort in securing her captivity, but now she had vanished without a trace. As his mind grappled with the situation, Gerald's gaze fixated on the guards he had assigned to watch over Emily. They stood in a line, their expressions a mix of fear and confusion. He ha
A few weeks had passed since Emily gave birth to her baby, a beautiful little girl with a tuft of dark hair and piercing blue eyes. Despite the hardships she had faced, Emily couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of joy and love whenever she looked at her daughter. Living in the vampire community had its challenges, but Emily found solace in the protection it provided her and her child. She had managed to keep her pregnancy a secret, afraid that the werewolf pack would discover her whereabouts and try to take her baby away. Being among vampires offered a certain level of safety, but Emily knew she couldn't let her guard down entirely. As her daughter grew, Emily began to explore her new surroundings more extensively. She mingled with the vampire community, learning their customs, their history, and their political structure. It was during one of these interactions that she stumbled upon a shocking revelation: the vampire queen, Sofia, was her mother's sister. Th
The venomous poison coursed through Katherine's veins, its effects swift and merciless. As Tyler watched in horror, unable to save her, Sofia reveled in her triumph. The vampire queen's eyes gleamed with sadistic pleasure as she witnessed Katherine's agony. "I told you, Tyler," Sofia taunted, her voice dripping with venom. "Your refusal has consequences. Now, watch as your precious bodyguard pays the price for your defiance." Katherine gasped for breath, clutching at her throat, her face contorted in pain. The poison robbed her of strength, rendering her helpless against the lethal venom coursing through her body. Tyler's heart shattered as he witnessed the woman he admired suffering before his eyes. Desperation fueled Tyler's decision, and in that moment of anguish and grief, he made a choice he never thought he would. With tears streaming down his face, he turned to Sofia, his voice laden with despair. "Fine," he choked out, his voice cracking. "I'll accept your
As Tyler fought to free his bodyguard, Katherine, from the chains, Sofia, the vampire queen, watched with a mix of amusement and satisfaction. The dim light in the chamber cast eerie shadows on her face, accentuating her sinister beauty. She had planned this moment meticulously, knowing that separating Tyler from his trusted protector would weaken his resolve and make him more susceptible to her influence. Sofia approached Katherine, her steps graceful and predatory. A sly smile played on her lips as she extended a hand, offering assistance. "My dear Tyler, why do you struggle so? Accept your fate, and I promise to release Katherine unharmed. Join me in this world of eternal darkness, where power and pleasure await." Tyler's eyes blazed with fury as he glared at Sofia. "I will never surrender to you. Katherine has sworn to protect me, and I won't let you use her against me." Sofia chuckled softly, her voice laced with a hint of malice. "Ah, dear Tyler, you underestimat
In the dimly lit caves, Tyler, the Lycan king, fought alongside his loyal companions, his senses heightened in the face of imminent danger. The air was thick with tension as they ventured deeper into the unknown, their objective clear: to rescue Katherine, Tyler's personal guard, from the clutches of the vampire queen, Sofia. Their path was treacherous, littered with jagged rocks and hidden crevices. Sinister whispers echoed through the cavernous walls, adding an eerie ambiance to the already chaotic atmosphere. The group cautiously advanced, their weapons at the ready, their instincts honed for any sign of aggression. As they pressed on, the silence was abruptly shattered by a cacophony of screeches and growls. From the shadows emerged grotesque creatures, their twisted forms a nightmarish sight to behold. The creatures had gnarled limbs and razor-sharp claws, their eyes burning with an insatiable hunger. With a primal roar, Tyler lunged forward, his body shifting sea
An uneasiness settled over Tyler, Gerald, Victoria, and Eric as they stood in the dimly lit chamber, their eyes locked on the ominous figure of the vampire queen, Sofia. She had trapped them in her lair, her grip tightening around Katherine, whose life hung in the balance. Sofia had made her intentions clear: she desired Tyler as her mate, and she would stop at nothing to make it happen. As tension filled the air, the flickering torches cast eerie shadows on the chamber walls. A sudden movement caught Tyler's attention, and his heart skipped a beat. He squinted his eyes, trying to discern the source of the disturbance. The uneasiness escalated as the others too sensed the encroaching danger. Whispering a warning, Victoria pointed to the corner of the chamber, where the darkness seemed to grow denser. Gerald's instincts kicked in, and he unsheathed his blade, ready to defend his friends. Eric, ever resourceful, grabbed a nearby torch, illuminating the area where the shadows
