Ray landed between them and placed Tala down, first pushing her aside to face Helga and Vlad. To him it was obvious this is his grandfather, the features laid deep, he saw his father in him.
But now he was stuck between who to face first? Helga? Or Vlad?Vlad made it clear he was attacking the elders, so for now he could say Helga was the initial target, he turned to her, he didn't feel like making introduction to Vlad yet, Helga caused many wolves pain, she will fall here now."Boy, I don't know who you are, but she's mine" Vlad said."You look a little bloodied up, I recon you can take a rest, this bitch not only staked me, but killed many wolves, shattering lives! Wolves I was close to, friends with""And she killed my beloved! This reason superseded yours thousands of years ago!" Vlad yelled at him.Ray took his focus from Helga's panicking face to him, should he tell him now? Or let it simmer."She killed Rachel? I thought you staked her?"Vlad and Tala engaged again, she swung a claw but he grabbed it and threw her, as she left his grip Ray came in and struck his face sending him back as Tala did.On the front foot Ray kept the attack going, he jumped up and landed in Vlad's gut but it was a mistake, Vlad grabbed his leg and stood up with him hanging, before Vlad could deliver a kick Tala had his arm in her jaws and pulled him from his feet, swinging and taring, managing not only to free Ray but tare away Vlad's arm and leaving him screaming.The two stood side by side watching the red in his eyes as he glared at his own bleeding stump, then his leer came to them "Don't get your hopes up just yet, you think this is the first time in lost an arm?"Both Ray and Tala felt a chill, Vlad stood upright and the blood dripping from his arm started spinning like thread, rebuilding that arm until it was fully whole."It hurts, I won't lie, but taring me apart will not mean my end, you need to dig deeper! Bu
The scent of him dragged her to a stop and her nose twisted around to make sure that was what she smelled.Ash stopped seeing her muzzle in the air with ears flat "What is it?""It's, its Ray, he's here!""Ray? Your vampire boyfriend?""My vampire fiancée!" She snarled at him."What will you do?""I'm going back""You heard your father! He told you to stay away from there"She didn't listen, not in full sprint as to knowing the dangers there she headed back, listening, her nose still taking it in, she came closer and closer, until just beyond the trees she saw them fight."Stay here" Ash whispered next to her, it was clearly a fight of epic proportions since no one else interfered, it went on for long and Tala's urges to join grew.The dim night started fading as the sun made its presence known, this made Tala worry, Ray showed clearly he didn't have a ring if Sol on, he fought like a true vampire, alongside her Alpha self, ho
She's seen two castles in her life time but this one felt warmest even if it belonged to a vampire. Tala looked at herself in the mirror as Annette brushed her hair, never in her life has she felt this beautiful, always there in the forest, what leaves and trees wants to see a pretty werewolf? Mike also never cared of how she looked, and no other alpha even bothered.Annette saw how Tala bit her lip and smiled "Are you worried?""No, not worried..." Tala said and blinked "Am I, beautiful enough?""Is that a trick question?""You vampire women are the pretty ones, us wolves never cared about beauty, the males always wanted us to be strong, smart and fertile, never really caring about looks, so... I never cared..."Annette blushed at her view over it, then shrugged "You care so much about how you look, do you consider yourself beautiful?""Uh~ sort of?""Have you ever looked this pretty for anyone?""No""Then think of it this way, he found
A dark corridor only lit up by faint light so weak the distance between them still darkened out, this was the path Villa took almost her entire life.With Rachel gone many years ago the only thing that drove her to continue was respect to the woman who rose her, taught her not only to be a huntress, but how to be a woman as well, and to make peace with being a hybrid.She was here for her last time, after Ray and Tala married she spent more time with them, got to know them, secretly still a huntress gathering information, but then the day came where Ray and Tala asked her a question that turned her world upside down.The greatest respect ever given to her, no reward, no kill, no trophy ever came close to it, a gift, a blessing, it made her open her eyes and see a brighter future, one free of blood.She first did a tour to ease her heart, and the first way took her to the Yard, where the silver test was conducted, the most horrid form of punishment, if you survive it, the
Heart shattered, resolve broken, Tala burst out of the clan meeting hall and ran off, the tears made her choose not to go too fast, she was crying so much she could barely keep her eyes dry."Tala!" Mike yelled at her "Return to me at once!"She turned around a corner, ignoring his words."Tala!""You chose to reject me remember! What else is there for us to talk about!?" She screamed back at him, Mike was following but didn't dare come closer after she gave him the foulest of glares."This was a choice I made to uphold my status as Alpha! You know a weak Alpha makes a weak pack!""Oh the shame!""You will not dare talk to me like that!" He said and grabbed her shoulder violently swinging her back to him, she almost fell but held her composure "I am still your Alpha!""My clan alpha! Nothing more! So go back to that board room and conduct your Alpha job! I am moving on Mike!""You lose all your brawls among females!""I have supplied
"Are you excited?" Victor asked his son as they stood ready for his acceptance."Should I be father?" Ray asked "This is not my choice, its only because I am your son that I'm forced into it?"Victor laughed and slapped his shoulders "You are to become the prince of darkness son, I'm still the king! Your duties are to live as freely as you dare, find yourself a woman, maybe two, maybe more, you can have as many as you want""I'm not interested in a harem of females father, I merely want one""The soulmate type hey? There are loads of draculina out there who has eyes for you, even before you where to be the prince""I have noticed them""And? Have you found a suitable one?""No, they all, how do I say this..." Ray said and looked at Victor "Maybe too pale?""Pale!? Son all vampire women are pale, we have no life in us after all""I have not said they're not beautiful father, they are by all means breathtaking, but I don't want to make my c
Relaxation, or stress relief, many gets it in many ways, but Tala found it in the work she does with wood.She slowly placed the carving knife down sideways, then allowed it to glide over the now smooth whitened and barkless stump, at each end she had the tips sharpened, one to stick into the ground, the other to point up into the air, in Vietnam they called them Pungi, a cluster of these sharpened poles in a hole, and if one steps in there it's serious injury for sure, sometimes death.Tala placed the knife down and blew away the wood shavings but the pain in her mouth made her wince, her fangs not completely healed yet.There was a knock on the door and she stood up from her work bench, brushed more shavings off her lap and removed her apron.Tala opened the door to find Mike standing there, she folded her arms."I hear you started a brawl with Sabrina?"Tala turned and headed to her work bench again, leaving the door open naturally so Mike can enter.
"Father!" Ray said bursting into the throne room, it was now quiet, the ball over, all that remained was servants to clean up."You still high off that wolfblood son?""No! You told me to stay away from Sara, and I did, but she came and offered me her neck""And did you drink?""You told me I'll be exiled!""Not if she offers, if she so much as wink the idea that you forced her neck, then that's exile"Ray was still rattled up, that blood, he wanted it so badly, but Sara clearly doesn't understand what he meant by 'killing her'"Dad..."Victor frowned and sat forward on his chair "You are severely bothered calling me that?""I will kill her... She will die by my fangs""Are you sure? She offered her neck to me once and when she felt it was too much she effortlessly shunted me away""You!?""Yes..." Victor smiled at him "Next time drown yourself in it, it's not the amount you take, but the amount she doesn't allow you

The rush of bloodlust in the air was enough to get the wolves on their feet, Muraco almost tasted it on his gums, walking in front of his group he shot out his claws."What is it!?" Tala asked, she felt that presence in the forest, and it felt familiar."It's a vampire" Ash said smelling the air but his sence of smell was answered by a giggle, behind a tree Lilith showed herself."I've been discovered""Lilith!?" Muraco asked."So the tension rises, the very earth cries as we stand to face each other"Muraco didn't understand what she was up to, he strolled up to them, even so Muraco felt she couldn't be alone, he had to ask "Where is Asena?"Her smile became a wicked grin "The earth shall cry"Muraco moved first when the brush broke, Asena came from behind to take Tala but he dove into the High Alpha as Ash took Tala down to save her.Pinning Asena down he reared at her "What is the meaning of this!?"Asena had tears in her eyes but
"Why did you kiss me?" Tala asked knowing she allowed it."I, I'm not sure" Ray said standing back.She smiled none the less "Thank you""For?""Showing me you care"He smiled also "Of course, never doubt that"Tala turned to the van when Tika came crawling out, she held her head but when she saw the dead pack tears came to her eyes, she looked at Tala "Tika sorry""It's ok, you are still part of my pack right? I'm not alone"The young woman forced a smile "Thank you, but what now?"Tala turned to Ray "The prince of vampires will save the wolves"Tika looked at him, he nodded "Make no mistake""Are you sure?" Tika asked."I am, all I need is a for filling drink, then I'll be ready"Tala folded her arms "You know you can always drink my blood right?""I am aware, but I need you on full strength" he said and looked down "I feel ashamed actually, if I had more confidence in myself I would have gone alone, but
The age old rivalry between vampires and werewolves was a misconception, it was never that they hated each other but merely one battle hardnened man who believes in honor of combat seeking a respected and powerful enemy to commit suicide through foe.For a being walking the earth, cursed with life, and eternity of seeing people be born grow up and die an old man, unable to see the next life, unable to rest, started looking for ways to die, he drank poison, swallowed silver, bathed in holy water, even sat and watched the sun, but his black heart was so far down it couldn't be blessed with eternal darkness, his eternal curse.All who faught against one another built the hate over years came from a stronger killing a weaker, the wolf killing the vampire the vampire killing the wolf, a vicious and misunderstood chain reaction.Victor and Muraco decided it had to stop, somewhere the feud had to reach some sort of stalemate or it will be an endless cycle where no one wins,
Gallant and Ezekiel came next to each other and lifted their capes, they drew their rapiers and held them.Tala didn't even know they had swords, who even uses swords these days!? She blinked when Vlad's great sword came in front of her, it was longer than she was, thicker than her arm, and all she could see in it was her eyes shocked at the scene in front of her."Still with the measly small swords, it is clear you never took honor in the strength I gave you, if they made swords bigger than this I would have had one by now!" Vlad said and held his sword away from Tala pointing it forward.She then realised why he did it! He held it to her as a gesture to 'stay back' he wants to fight two elders by himself!?She stood ready but he's sword came to her again "Don't be stupid now Luna, I have made it clear to stay back, this is my mistake to correct""You are alone sir!?""Is it clear to you to whom you just said that!?"She swallowed "Uh~ yes?"
