- I could live here. - Mother said to the witches who stood nearby. She looked around, admiring the surroundings. That was a perfect place for her new kingdom. She deserved it after so many years of humiliation. Being banished was still a painful wound that could not heal. But soon, this will change. When all the werewolves are lost in sight, she will get back what is supposed to be hers in the first place. - We are waiting for orders. The leader of the vampire's warriors came closer. This man was still holding her in the distance, no matter how much she tried to impress him. After this battle, he will be on his knees, admiring her full glory. He will belong to her, just like everything else. - We will aim straight for this pathetic pack. There is no need for tricks. They are no match for us.- Mother smiled at him, but the man just nodded his head, and then he returned to his people. The highest witch had to swallow this bitter pill. Not long now, and his attitude will change. Then,
King, who was slowly coming closer.- Michael.- Marcus spoke, glaring at the group of vampires. - Your Highness. - The leader of the warriors bowed lightly. - You are far from the place I would expect to find you. - Vampire King pointed out. - What brings you and your men here? - My Lord's orders. - Michael replied shortly. Mother almost smirked, hearing his words. This man was incredible. Now, he stood tall and proud, watching King. King Marcus nodded his head, curling his lips in a smile. - And what those orders are? - Forgive me, Your Highness, but that is between me and my lord. - The vampire warrior replied calmly, but that was his mistake. King's expression changed immediately, and his eyes shone brighter. - Do not forget who you are talking to. I do not recall the moment when your Lord gained a position higher than mine. As long as I am aware, no one stands above me, or am I wrong? - Apologies, my King. - Michael reflected on himself. His previous confidence was gone.
- No!!!- Xavier was screaming, running to his bride. He grabbed Camille's hand as his life depended on it. Hot tears were rolling down his cheeks. Katherine shifted to her human form, falling to her knees. - Greg!!- She shouted. Her mate was the one she needed now. Gently, she lifted Camille off the ground. - Why did you do it? How could you be so stupid? Camille mustered a little smile. - I was stupid before, but now I finally understand. - The witch whispered. - What do you understand? - Katherine asked gently. - What is important...- Camille replied, and her eyes started to close. - Do not close your eyes. Stay with us. Greg!!- Katherine shouted again. Xavier was kneeling next to his bride, unable to move. Greg ran to Katherine together with the King. - Can you help her? She saved my life. Promise me you will save her. - Alpha looked at her mate and his father. Greg's eyes were full of sadness. He said nothing. Katherine raised her eyes, looking for the person responsi
Two days later. Katherine slowly opened her eyes just to shut them down immediately. She was surrounded by the bright light. ~ Are we dead? ~ She thought to herself. ~ I don't think so, but I wish we were. I am so weak. ~ Lucy replied quietly. ~ Did we die then? Were we reborn again? ~ Katherine was panicked. ~ Again, I don't think so.~ Her wolf said, a little annoyed.Alpha opened her eyes slightly, waiting for her sight to get used to the bright light. Slowly, some shapes became visible. The whole surrounding was white, making it painful to look around. - I thought you were dead.- Katherine nearly jumped at the sound of the voice next to her, but she only groaned when her whole body protested this sudden movement. Incredibly, slowly, Alpha turned her head to the side, looking at the person on the next bed.Camille was grinning at her while eating her pudding.Katherine would never expect herself to be so happy about seeing the witch. - You are alive. - She whispered since h
Katherine felt strange amongst all those people. She was the Alpha, but that was the most significant gathering she ever joined. Alpha's gatherings were nothing compared to this one. The ballroom was filled to the brim. The Ball. And she was the center of attention, not that she wanted this. But that was her coronation day. Today, she will become the Queen of the vampires. One of the two. Her lips curled into a smile when she remembered the shock on everyone's faces after King Marcus' announcement. After he came back from his trip to Solomon's land, King Marcus disappeared for a few days, locking himself in his office. No one was allowed to disturb him except the servants who were bringing him food. His strange behavior took a toll on his sons, who were really concerned. After almost a week, Marcus summoned Greg and Xaviet together with their brides. ~ Apologies for my odd behavior, but I had a lot to think about. It was a serious problem, but I hope we all benefit from it. ~ He
Camille entered the place she used to call home. Ten vampire warriors accompanied her, even if she tried to avoid it. Unfortunately, Xavier was adamant about her safety. He could not go with her this time as some of the lords on their new lands were not thrilled about the new rules. Yet his main concern was his Queen's trip. Who knew what was waiting for her in the witch's coven? There was no way he was going to take this risk. That is why those vampires were here with her. Camille looked around in utter shock. Was it the same place she remembered from her childhood? It was never full of life or the most cheerful, but now it looked like a ghost town. A few witches were wondering here and there, and none of them cared about the new arrival. Camille looked at her companions, but most of them just shrugged their arms. The witch motioned to the warriors and headed to the place that most likely would be occupied. She was not mistaken. When her group came closer to the main hall, angry
Two years later. Katherine was exhausted. Since she became the Queen, a lot of things have become a blur. For the first few months, days were not long enough to deal with everything. Greg was supporting her as much as he could, to the point when she was worried about him. Her mate was a vampire, but sometimes it seemed like he was overworking himself. Neverending meetings with lords and Alphas were draining him from all his energy. King Marcus could not be more right. It was not a task for one person. Katherine, on the other hand, was meeting with Lunas and vampire royals who wished to meet their new Queen. Of course, not everything was perfect. From time to time, she crossed paths with women who found her not suitable for her role. Most of them belonged to the higher vampire class. But Katherine was not the one to be easily intimidated. She wastes no time to show them their place. After that, as the Queen and Alpha, she was generally loved and respected. The most surprising thing
Katherine was looking at her newborn baby. She instantly fell in love with this tiny creature, who was now holding her finger tightly. - I am so proud of you. - Greg whispered, kissing her sweaty forehead. It was a long and painful delivery, but his Queen made it without complaint. Now, both of them were rewarded with a magnificent baby. Like her father, the girl had dark, fluffy hair and bright blue eyes. Her parents watched her, looking at her surroundings for the first time. - How will you name her?- Greg glanced at his bride. - I have not thought about this. Any ideas?- Katherine replied, not taking her eyes off the baby like it was her whole world. - You did the whole hard work; you should pick the name. I am sure it will be beautiful, just like our daughter. - The vampire King replied softly. Now, he had two women to love and protect with his life. Katherine remained silent for a while, thinking intensely. - What about Isabelle?- She finally spoke. - I love it. - Greg rep
