Without so much as a warning Tala grabbed Odine around her neck and lifted her up, then walked back through the house with her and threw her on a couch, the ash of the first two victims making her cough and wave along with that choke feeling in her neck.
Tala feeling her new strength addicting braced and stretched again, taring more of her shirt "Now, little coward vampire, I want to know everything"Odine only looked at her and swallowed she never thought she'd find a woman this intimidating, considering what she was "Everything?""What did Sean do? What was his plan, his motive, to throw my entire life upside down!" She roared making Odine shake.Tala took a step back and allowed some of the pressure over her to lift."I'll say anything, but, I don't want to die""You never really fucked with me Odine, sure you chased me around a little, so the odds of your survival depends on how well you can explain what Sean did""Ok, it all started before HelRaphael entered the boardroom making the ever slight hushed whispers among his clan members go completely mute. He sat down at the head of the table and clasped his hands."It seems the world is moving up, more and more rules are being broken and left un punished, why is that?" He asked looking at the faces."Sir, we where under the impression everything went smoothly" a woman answered "Its been years since the Velvitali had to bring judgement, the world of vampires and werewolves were at a hairtrigger check, no one made any moves until now""What sparked it?""The announcement of Raymondias Vladimir sir""How can the announcement of a prince trigger anything like this!? We have a dead king and queen, a high alpha roaming around that I had no idea of! And now I must also find out Brian and Sean where not taken care of!?""Yes sir we are aware of all of it""Then... What's first?"A man lifted his hand quickly "Before we continue sir, I hear Mu
Sticking to the forest around town mainly Tala kept walking with pace, she still had her wolf out partially and didn't want to call her back just yet, she also itches for revenge, and its best to let the wolf sniff, keep her ready to go.She scratched her skin stretched by the enlarged muscles, it was only a few steps further into the shift and the wolf will take over, Tala kept her like that, this was going to be sweet.As she reached the foot of the mountain she started to rethink her approach, maybe she shouldn't go after Sabrina and Nathan first, Tala was confident in herself but it was still two on one, she stopped ascending then looked west, that way was the Aniwaya, maybe them first?She twitched as her muscles throbbed and her shirt tore alittle more "No no girl, think about this..." She calmed her wolf, if she had Turok on her side it would balance the numbers, but then it won't be her revenge to take, she looked up the mountain and signed "Down girl"Sh
Tala had point as they walked through the forest, Marika constantly glanced at her making her frown "What's wrong?""You, seem different?""Different?" Tala asked smiling."There is this confidence about you, and your hair? Why did you cut it?""She's an Alpha now Marika couldn't you sense it?" Renaldo asked."What? When?""A while back""Oh, I thought maybe its because you are brave enough to wear such tattered clothes" Marika said referring to her partially torn jeans and shirt.Tala closed her chest and glanced back at the two males, they blinked, but Marika broke out first "If I catch you gawking over her I'll gouge your eyes out! You're the ones who said you weren't interested!""We didn't look!"Marika made two fingers to her eyes, then pointed at them."Wait, I recognise those jeans! Those are my jeans!" Yolanda asked."Yeah I borrowed them for a while ok? You can have them back" Tala said."They're shredd
In her room again, that cozy kennel Hector gave her in the beginning, Tala felt a little lonely now and sighed looking at her arm purple from the many jabs she got with the needle.It was a great way to make money, sell wolf blood on the black market, and it's almost an endless supply, Tala regenerates her blood in less than an hour after all.She sat up when Hector came in, he had a piece of meat with him and Tala almost charged him but he threw the leg and she pinned it."Easy now Wolfy""What ever!" She said between bites "Took ya long enough!""I was busy" he said walking around her and opened the curtains."Hey! I had them closed because I know I'll be eating now! What if someone sees this!? A girl flat on a piece of meat eating it raw!?""No one will see you this high!""I've watched that building across the street, there's movement there! People will see!"Hector signed and closed them "There, you happy?""Yes" she said and co
It was so calm, even if Tala's claw was tight around her neck, her heart didn't race, it didn't show any signs that this girl had the idea she was staring death in the face."Tell who ever is with you to show them selves, or I'll rip your head off" Tala said.She blinked and looked over her shoulder "Duke" the man was sitting on a roof just behind her, Tala felt cold, no one even saw him there "–Stand down"The group watched him land and stood calmly waiting for Jane's next word."And there you have– it""Who are you?""My name is Jane, I am –a hunter, he is Duke""Why did you come hunt us?""The Sassaba are –a clan of stray–s""Then what would I have to do to get them of your hit list!?"Jane looked at Duke, he answered "Form an official new pack, with a suitable Alpha""Am I a suitable alpha then? Or maybe Yolanda?"Duke scanned from her to the only other Alpha "You both are""So we must
Tala saw the man and woman, strangers, she never saw them before, but they seem to be baffled to see her."Tala?" Wayne asked."Yes?" She asked sitting down.The two glanced at each other "Impossible" Wayne said."Unless she's a twin" Paula said."Twins with the same name?" He asked."You met my other half?" Tala asked and their eyes grew."Your other half?""She tore herself from me, it's weird to explain""Ok... She told us to come meet you, or her..." He said but scratched his head."I'm a prisoner here, they drain my blood and sell it to vampires on the black market" Tala said deciding to throw all the toys out of the box straight up."They use you as a donor?""Yes""That's pretty messed up..." Paula said.Tala saw not one of them was indicating the will to help her "Can you help?"Wayne held his hands up "We all know Elaine, and we don't want to mess with her""Please there has to be some way you c
One thing Ray didn't like about spending the day inside a coffin was that total silence, he remembers Tala's heartbeat against his chest when they kissed, it was not just the warmth of the feeling, but it was asif her heart brought sound into his cold quiet world.He twisted sideways and kept thinking, if she was still able to kill him, would he accept it? Now that he knows the burden it carries?In a heartbeat... That's how ready he was at the time to die for Tala, now though he felt it would be selfish, but still, what more could he say to her? What better words can he find to make her understand he will do anything for her?She meant so much to him, her eyes dwindled in his mind all day, even if Lilith was there to try block them out.Lilith... Ray would admit spending an eternity with her also won't be a bad thing, the Velvitali and the Vladimir kingdoms united, peace then for the future of both.Could he say he feels something for Lilith? Her face alway
It was an odd trip, Tala watched the two hunters closely for if they had change of plans with her, but it seemed like they couldn't care, they operated as if she was never there.Secretly glad she danced semi naked to a bar full of men Tala had enough money to pay for her own plane ticket and boat ride to Svalbard, it was only the car trip she really needed from Jane and Duke."So, are you two related to the Velvitali?" She asked just as the boat was about to dock."I –am, but Duke isn't" Jane said."Who are you related to then?" Tala asked Duke."Velvela Tamaska..."Tala felt her heart pound her chest "Velvela?""Yes" he said looking at her."That's my mother"He frowned "Oh, so you're my half sister then?""Why would she, how did she? With a human?""They implanted the seed, she never had inter relationships with a human""Oh, why?""Velvela was working with the Velvitali in the hunter initiative, she understoo
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?"
