The midday heat was too scorching. Ethan and I are both struggling to find a new job for me. This is how difficult it is if you deal with the lives of humans. Many requirements are needed for you to pass the job you want to enter.I didn't make it to college like other humans have who now enjoying the opportunity. I can say that there was a lot differences between humans and werewolves. Their power are brains and money while wolves rely on their strength and thinking only to outwit the enemy.I took a deep breath when Ethan snapped my sense of reality. "Would you mind if we have lunch first?"I breathed between my lips and looked at him. "Sure."He nodded and looked around to find a restaurant to eat at. The city is huge but some of the buildings are under construction. The road was filled with vehicles a causing heavy traffic. There are restaurants that can be seen on the left or right, there are also fast foods and it just depends on us where we eat."Then choose, Sophia."I rolled
"You saved me..."I was no longer able to respond to what the man I saved said when the construction workers approached us to help us to get up.I shook myself to remove the dust from my clothes while a construction worker who was still supporting him even though he was completely standing asked questions, "Are you okay, sir Drake? Did you hurt?"I looked at him and observed his whole being. His attire is no different from Eros when he is on duty at Hildart. It means that this man is also a businessman and it looks like he is the owner of the building that is currently under construction.He answered even though his eyes were aimed at me, " Yeah... I'm fine."I gulped down thinking that maybe he saw what I did earlier especially since he mentioned me for saving him and he just took my full attention when he said, "Hi!"Before I could answer, the man holding my arm asked me, "Are you okay, Miss?" I answered stammering, "Y-Yeah, I'm fine."The brows of the man in business attire met sl
Dwell-in-White, this is the cosmetics company that Drake is part of. I knew Luke noticed something strange in him that I should be careful about but I needed a job. And if Drake really isn't human I need to know what he is.I face the mirror and look at my formal attire applying for job; conservative 2 piece suit that I paired with a fitted skirt knee-length, near skin color stockings and dark shoes with only 1 inch heels. I think this suits for applying as a secretary since that is the job offered to me by Drake Dwellins or sir Drake.He also mentioned that he is the vice president of that company but the name of the company and his last name caught my attention. Dwell-in-White and Dwellins, there is no doubt that he is the heir of the company or maybe he is the owner already but he's position is a vice president so that means the company still has a chairman. Well, Dwell-in-White still belongs to him then.I heard a knock on the room door and I'm sure that was Ethan. "Are you done?"
Drake is really good at handling company since he knows how to get along with his employees and I don't see any of them being afraid unlike Eros being Hildart's boss.He knows how to understand the situation of people below his rank. In such a case Dwell-in-White is filled with good company whether it is an employee or a boss.Just like what Ethan said, He expected this to be the day I started my job at this company. Drake's schedule is not chaotic, everything is in order and there are no complications. Just from the schedule, I'm already admiring the chemistry of his being vice president.It seems like a machine is the example of all the flow of the company and it works silently from the inventors, to the signing of the contract, the beginning of the interaction, until it reaches on top and without the slightest complaint.This trend of the company is impressive based on what I notice in the record and it is happening on time. My mind then asked how Drake can maintain this kind of fl
"Doesn't it sound like Sir Drake waited for you for a long time based on what you noticed about him?" Bella shook her head as she spoke, "Imagine, you two had just met yesterday in an accident happened, he offered you a job at noon, and of course before he went back to his office he spent the whole day working on the building that was under for construction which is the new branch of his Dwell-in-White thingy. Do you get what I mean Sophia?" She squinted her eyes and waved the make up brush she was holding on my face.Actually I understood slightly what she says but it's not that clear to me. Ethan gave her a glare who was currently drawing for his sister Stephanie's school activity.Bella breathes out then roll her eyes. She tapped the brush she was holding on the facial powder while chattering as she applying it to my face. "I mean your boss didn't come into his office yesterday because he was busy checking his construction workers. That means, he didn't have time to tell anyone to
Drake is currently driving to our destination. I'm not comfortable with the situation now, especially since he keeps smiling and glancing at me.He asks, "Are you nervous?"I looked at him and just in time he returned his gaze ahead of us. I shook my head and said, "A little. It's my first time so I can't really help it."He chuckles and says, "I understand, it's mostly for first timers at any event that's how they feel. Well, you don't have to worry because I'm here."I force myself to smile and say, "Thank you, sir."He looked at me to correct me, "Change sir to Drake, it's better."My lips parted and just glanced at him. "O-Okay, Drake."He laughs and stops it for a moment to glare at me—cute.Arriving at a huge Building with a logo bearing the name Silver Blue Flame, Drake entered the car. He stopped in front of the guard house for the checkpoint. After a short conversation, he started it again to get inside and parked the car.I observed the surroundings. I smelled and felt somet
I fixed my face. After I washed, I was applying make up again and while doing that, someone entered this comfort room.I stopped when I saw her reflection in the mirror. She removed her mask and walked to the front of the mirror right next to me.She says, "You seem to have moved on with Eros finally."I looked at her reflection in the mirror. I smirks in my mind and literary said, "Is there a reason to hold on, since I can see that his leech is good at sticking?" Her brows meet together so I went on, "Don't knit your brows, Marthana. You know who I'm talking about."Her jaw dropped as she pointed at herself. I want to laugh at her shock acting skills as she yells, "Are you referring to me?!"I rolled my eyes and faced her. As I say, "Is there another option?" I crossed my arms across my chest. "If you want to deny then try harder next time, you can't cover it up since you're obvious."I faced the mirror again to finish fixing myself. I took my mask and put it back on. Her mouth was s
"See? I didn't say anything wrong, that Drake Dwellins really likes you!"We are currently in Bella and Ethan's apartment and Luke is with us. That's what Bella said with gesturing her hands. Ethan scrunches up his nose while Luke seems to be deep in thought.I? Here, I can't get out of my mind what Drake said to me. It was so shocking, and I can't quite figure out how it happened. Less than a week since we met, as in less than four days, how did it happen that I became important to him?I feel that there is a hidden secret behind it. If Drake is really human I know he knows I think that line is so lame. If he's not a human, it's harder for me to find the reason why I became important to him in an instant.My moment of thinking was interrupted when Luke spoke, "He's not human." All eyes were glued to him, he went on, "He uses something to make him unscented and so we can't feel his strength but he can't make his thoughts to pretend from us." He looked at us one by one.Bella lips part
I automatically went back to closing my eyes as the bright light hit it. My mind has not yet processed what happened, but I immediately heard Eros' voice.He calls my name as I feel his touch on my forehead. He asks me, "Are you okay? Are you still in pain?"When my eyes recovered, I looked at him with a sweet smile. "Eros..."I tried to remember why I was like this now, I tried to get up but my head still hurt causing him to held it, "Get some rest, what do you want to eat?"But I ask, "What happened?"He quickly grabbed my hand and kissed it. He was just sitting next to me and as soon as I noticed I was in the hospital. He says, "You won, we won and I'm happy that you're awake, that you came back to me, to us."Did we win? Wait? I swallowed when the whole incident came back to my memory. I asked, "Did we win?"He nods his head while smiling. He looked behind him and that's when I noticed that there were people standing there, they were all smiling at me. I ask again, "Are they gone?
I endured pain that was not new to me. I smiled even as I stopped my vampire self from coming out, I felt like I was floating on a cloud. The joy that Eros brought me, his presence that is now mine. I felt his hug again, his love and after he put a mark on me, the strength that I thought was not lost in me returned.The vampire inside of me fell silent, no protest heard in my head. My heart was beating full for Eros especially when I looked into his eyes while listening to Drake's hissing.His father spoke, "You are indeed no use!"When I faced them, Drake didn't speak, he just clenched his fist while looking at Eros. His father continued to yell, "You did everything to get her mate's mark off of to her! But you let her get it back!"Now I understand everything. The loss of Eros' mark on me was the aim of their plan; here I am stronger and because of this mark, I am able to control all of me; my wolf and my vampire.I spoke, "The guardian wolf says I will choose the fate of the world.
"Sophia!"I woke up to that echoing male voice, so familiar to me. It happened again, but the voice was different—it's female voice and I think she was close to me. My spirit woke up, it's like I was under the surface.I don't understand, I see the whole environment so chaotic, as if I'm in the war. I'm confused by the situation because I'm moving on my own, fighting, I mean some of me is in-charge but not my wolf.Me as a main, as a human form, I am here under the surface, including my wolf and there is another me, who is in charge now. "Sophia! Fight yourself!"My mind automatically asks what but I see Eros. He was up in front of me, lifting by me, and not only him, but also Algie, Clara, Luke, and others I didn't know. They struggle and I seem to absorb their breathing.Clara begs, "S-Sophia! Sophia, it's us. Fight yourself!" My jaw dropped, but that didn't happen to my body. My jaw dropped here under the surface, and that can only mean one thing. I am now a vampire and my being a
Another day has passed, the news I was waiting for that I ordered from security guard is still nothing. This mission is not that easy but I believe that I will succeed.Right now, I just endure the pity I feel for their victims but I also find a way to stop them from every cage they open. This time, there are vampires entering the cage again, and I already know what's going to happen next.I looked at the security guard I hired as a body guard and gave him a small nod. I took the first step to enter there as well when Drake suddenly appeared in front of me hissing, "Eros is not in the cage!"I stared at him for a moment and my mind still processed what he said. I don't seem to know how to express the joy I feel. I stared at his angry reaction and ended up giving him a smirk.I say, "You seem afraid the results of him escaping from your clutches. That's made me feel proud."But suddenly he grabbed my neck and squeezed it out of anger, "Do you think he'll see you again? No, Sophia!"My
The room is spacious, beautiful, has a soft bed, cozy atmosphere, it's like I'm not in the place of vampires and there's no reason to say I'm not comfortable but I ignore this appreciation because I need to focus more on my mission .Now, that I'm free to act, I need to start my goal. I tried to mind link with Algie but I couldn't. Looks like vampires put some protection in place for it.I left the room and tried to walk around. I don't know, but I think I should see something. I simply walk through the narrow hall ways. It's dark but clean, vampires just don't like bright places.I know what I'm doing now is what exactly they expects but I can still pretend to just wander around. After I got to the end, there was a hallway to the left and right. We came from the right earlier, I knew where that hallway was going, I turned left and just walked straight.There are large rooms, but I don't know what's inside. All were open, and I decided not to peek. I don't think there's anyone inside
I know Drake doesn't trust me but he lets me move freely around him even though he knows I'm powerful. It only means one thing, I shouldn't look at them lightly.My mind is messed up, I have many things to fear, I have many lives to save. I am afraid of losing my loved ones. I can't bear to see Eros without life. I don't want to hurt Luke, Eros is my heart's want but somehow Luke became a part of it too. In other words, I loved him too.Bella and Ethan, they don't deserve this suffering. They are innocent and incapable to fight back. I don't want them to have a terrible experience. My mother, I know, since I was young, her suffering began. I want this to end, so we can start looking for my father.And that plan I will start by saving them. I'm really only here in the most difficult situation. Drake took me to their throne hall or their very great hall where they hold their meeting.Various vampires were waiting and watching us as we walked to the presence of their king. Their king let
I opened my eyes when I heard a noise. I raised my head to find out what was going on. I realized that I was currently lying here on the concrete floor of the cage.I looked at my mother and she was currently moaning in pain. I quickly got up to check her but she looked outside. Just then I heard people's screams.My mother spoke, "They're starting."I quickly stood up to peek at the cages at the end. I also caught sight of Bella and Ethan who were also just sleeping on the floor and Luke who also had his eyes closed while his body was wrapped in chains. Eros, like me, also seemed to wake up because of the noise.I looked back at the end and saw vampires. I heard the voice of one of them, "Let them out."I couldn't make out their movements but I heard one of the cages open and the prisoners came out. "Now, you have eternal life, go forth and invade the place of humans. Give yourselves what you desire."It only means one thing from what I hear. They turned those people into vampires. I
I failed. I'm a Powerful but I'm still no use. I hate this, I'm too stupid to think I'm lucky because Drake didn't tie me up like he did to Eros. They know to themselves that I can't do anything here in the cage even though my hands and feet can move freely."How did he do that?"I shook my head and took a deep breath because of Ethan's question. I didn't know the answer to that either and it was my mother who spoke, "I-It's also possible for a vampire to have... a witch ally."Eros added, "I-It's also possible that they're holding her by the neck."I pressed my lips together and thought about what they said. That information is not vague since there are things in the world that are possible. About witches, they have been living like werewolves for a long time.I'm sure a witch put an incantation on that key. That way, it will be difficult for us to escape. I heard Luke moan. Bella moves to approach him and Ethan watches her.I heard Luke whisper, "W-Water..."I automatically looked a
Eros isn't awake yet, and I'm waiting for that to happen so I can talk to him. I'm currently watching him, and his body is full of burnt skin. They removed his shirt to make him feel the pain more. His face was full of bruises as if he had been beaten again and again.I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. My tears flowed spontaneously out of great conscience. I heard Ethan's voice, "The vampires tortured him a lot but he is trying to fight for everyone. I'm sure if he sees you here he won't like it, but there's nothing we can do."I wiped my tears and looked at him who was in the other cage. Since it's only made of silver tubes I can still see others locked in cages at the end. I whispered out, "It's my fault. If only I hadn't left his side. Marthana didn't get him—"But Ethan retorts, "He killed Marthana. I saw how he cut off her head."I gasped and says, "She deserves it but let's not lose hope, Algie is still outside and I'm sure he's working on a way to save us from here."But
