Asena smiled "Yes, I am high alpha now"
"How?""Its hard to explain to a vampire, say it like this I've lived long enough, us wolves have enemies on all sides right? We are mindless beasts under the moon""Age? You say live long enough and high alpha might be achieved?""In a manner of speaking, I also found a new respect for the wolf and the moon, you'd be surprised that looking at the moon is one thing, but chasing it is a different story""Explain?""Try basking in moonlight for a week, it has to be that, I found a way to it"The entire room wasn't following her."I ran, a werewolf is faster than you might think, run from one side of the planet to another, where you can of course, and insure you follow the moon""You lie" Fitzgerald said."Yes, I'm sorry, it's a lie""How dare you!?" Raphael said."There are loads of secrets you vampires keep from us as well Raphael, why should I share my ultimate achievement with you?"<"So!? Whatcha running from!?" Jason called over the coms."I'm not sure you'll believe me if I told you" Skyler said trying to forget it as much as possible."I've seen alot of fuckedup shit in my life missy, trust me, I doubt you'll surprise me!"She decided to tell him half the truth "From the US government""What!?""Apparently two secret service agents wants to drag me into some bad shit, and Claire managed to get me out of it"Jason chuckled "Yeah, Claire Claire, is she still as beautiful as always?"Skyler nodded "She's a tough cookie""I know, that's why I like her so much, it's just sad that our worlds are very far apart, otherwise I'd marry her I swear"Skyler smiled and looked out the window, with the now pink sky she could see they were well over the dessert, she didn't even notice, in her mind they should be leaving the continent, not going deeper in."So, miss Stander, where are these tombs at?" Jason asked and Skyler we
There was a separate room large enough to hold a crowd, but those who came together stuck together. Chunks of raw bite sized meat was on a long table for the wolves, and champagne glasses with blood for the vampires.Tala stood watching this entire affair, in all her chaotic life she never saw this level of perfect considering the lot of them here are all monsters in their own way, she blinked and looked at another table, there atleast where normal food for the wizards and sorceresses."What's wrong Flufftail? I thought you would have cleaned this table by now?" She heard a voice, her own voice."Alpha"Reaching over she took a toothpick with three blocks of meat and slipped it into her mouth "You're doing well""Am not! Didn't you hear what just happened in there?""Are you sad?"Tala folded her arms "No, no I'm not" she said sarcastically."Well, its not a final verdict just yet, you heard those elders right? See ya"Tala watched
"Fuck! How do we get out now!?" Skyler yelled but Jason was only smiling, he drew his gun on her again."You see my dear, I heard another thing we need to awaken our master is fresh human blood, and that's where you come in""You bastard! You promised to let me out safely!"Jason only flicked the pistol indicating she should start walking, she followed his command, but at this point Skyler wasn't sad anymore, she was angry, in the past two days she has never been taken for a fool this much, even Claire was tricked, she started thinking of ways to save herself, because if she was going to die here, she'd rather die trying to save herself. As they came around the first corner Jason stopped her."What!?" She hissed."Look you idiot, aren't those holes in the wall a bit obvious?" Skyler saw he was right, and only in three sections with gaps in between before the next corner."I'm sure someone wanted to make sure no one gets in here" Jason had the torch low
They taunted they threatened, but all was empty, Claire effortlessly faught off the vampires that came for Skyler, as a werewolf under the full moon there were few who could rival her. She kicked the heap of vampire remains then smiled, but suddenly another landed in front of her, when he rose she saw it was Vlad himself and her ears sagged."We meet again my dear Claire, missed me?""How!? How did you escape!?""Well, lets just say Jason wasn't all the man you thought he was"Claire leapt at him, she clawed but struck only smoke, his laugh that haunted her nightmares echoed all around her again."I know fare well I cant beat you now Claire, but in due time, I will grow stronger until I'm at my full power again, for now I will leave you, next time we meet we settle our score once and for all"Silence fell again, Claire heard her heart pound in her chest, this is bad, she knew Vlad won't be tricked to a tomb the same way as before, she had no way of defe
Tala couldn't help feel hollow every time she came into that room, now the second time yes, but it felt one too much, more negative things await her and Ray, she felt it.That silence as usual humming in her ears, how could people, beings capable of rational communication remain this utterly quiet in each other's presence, even alone in that forest years ago with no one to talk to or nothing to do but survive, there was always the sound of something.Birds, crickets, frogs at the river, the occasional babble of hikers. She went to stand in her corner again with Kaylee, its odd no one addressed her of anything, yet she is here, a Fay, is she important enought to stand here? Tala felt maybe in this second round of tension between wolves and vampires she'll find out, maybe more, since the the only magic wielder who opened his mouth was young Hector, not even the age matured Jasper had anything to say."We have come to a conclusion" Ezekiel said "Prince Raymondias is to a
"The queen!? Haha, funny" Skyler said with a pout."No Skyler, next to him you're the most powerful vampire on earth... Feeling any urges to kill people yet? You know? World domination and all that?""World domination!? I'm a reporter for the Escape Magazine in New York! What the fuck am I supposed to do as a vampire!? I can't do shit! I can't go out during daytime anymore, and that's part of my job!"Claire burst out with laughter."It's not funny!""No, your situation isn't funny but you are, I've never met a vampire of your capacity who worries about such small thing as keeping a job""But? What else am I supposed to do?""Relax for now Skyler, sleep, that's what vampires do during daytime, I'm also tired, lets rest up for the day then tackle this dilemma tonight""Uh, ok"Claire layed down on her bed not getting under her blankets, Skyler peeked out of the closet but shut it when she saw Claire was still bare."So, you alwa
Claire laughed with her hand over her mouth."What!?" Skyler asked."A vampire telling me the idea of drinking blood puts it off?""Yeah! Maybe I don't need blood?""We'll see about that" Claire said and tore open the cap of the bloodbag, the smell instantly caught Skyler's nose and she felt her thirst quadruple, Claire held the bag up swinging it like someone tempting a dog with a bone, Skyler came out towards it, hands stretched out.Claire gave her the blood and she instantly started sucking it out, when the bag was empty she sighed and looked at Claire."Rub your tounge over your teeth" She said and Skyler did it, she felt the elongated fangs there and gasped."That's right, your fangs draw back nice and deep, the tips line up with the rest of your teeth so it looks normal, accept for the sharpness though, but if you see prey they grow out like that, and that is like a warning for you, if you feel they came out you'll know your thirst is too mu
There was a moment in the flight Ray lost track of where they were headed, more like moments, through the eyes of his bats he saw them leave New York, but then there was a blur, open sea, another blur, ice, then finally after the last distortion of time and reality they appeared inside a throne room.Ray reformed himself and looked around, the only clue he had as to where they went was the fact that every time they went through that warp, it happened on the dark side of the planet."Welcome to my humble abode" Helga said flaring her arms to the midevilly decorated room, Ray had to admit, even his Father's castle wasn't this far back in time."Where are the others?" He asked seeing it was just him and her."They went home, this is my castle" she trotted up the flight of five steps and hopped onto the chair made of a bleak grey iron."Where is this then?""I- can't- tell- you..." She said waving a finger "All you should know is, make yourself comfortable
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
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
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
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
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?"
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?"
