79: Enemy's den

last update Last Updated: 2022-10-17 20:33:41

The weeks I spent with Lucius after the wedding felt like the happiest moments of my life. I was afraid though. It was ironic that I felt afraid in the middle of happiness, but I guess it really goes that way. When you are too happy, you would want that moment to never end because of course people always prefer to be happy, right? That’s where the fears start. You would fear that the moment will end. And I wasn’t an exception. In the middle of my so good happiness, I got afraid that our happy moments will soon end.

True enough, I realized that everything does have an ending, and that one should brace himself when he feels so much happiness because no one knows what is waiting for you after it.

And on my case, I thought I already have my happy ending because that was what I felt with Lucius but I was wrong. It was proven that when you are happy the most, that’s when you could become vulnerable the most. What makes someone vulnerable? Fears. The desire for happiness. Family. Love.

    “Waiting for the right time?” he echoed with obvious mockery. “You know what? When it comes to vengeance and anger, I believe there is no such thing like ‘waiting for the right time’ if you think you are strong enough to conquer your enemy. And that goes the same in Lucius’s case, he knew that no matter how powerful he is right now, he won’t still be able to match me. But then, he is wise. He sought for a way to execute his plans subtly at least, that was why he sought for a weakness of mine. Then he discovered that I have plans of summoning Elizabeth’s soul and make her live in someone else’s body who has the same face as hers. He knew I kept on looking for Elizabeth’s face generation to generation that was why he searched for you. He trapped you into a marriage because at the cost of lying about your friend and parents. He was that cruel and yet you chose to be with him over Simon Rellis?” He shook his head. “I really don’t understand how your mind works. So complicated just like my

    I’m sure if Lucius was on his foot, based on his personality, there is no doubt he would do the same. He is the type of person who is willing to sacrifice everything he has for the sake of the person he treasures the most. But then if it happened that I am in Elizabeth’s place, I don’t think I would want him to sacrifice an innocent life just so I could come back and we will be together again. I want to love him without the guilt and I know it will never be the same because every time I would look in the mirror, I cannot see myself nor think of myself. I can only see the girl I took life with. The girl who sacrificed her life for me and I can’t live that life. That is fucked up and I don’t think Alec had thought about it. Did he even think what will Elizabeth feel if she finds out that Alec took my soul so hers could take my body? If she chose to live away from him and had a normal human life, I’m sure she’s a good person and wouldn’t want to live knowing that she just stole someone e

  • Revenge of the Alpha's Heiress   82: What went wrong?

    But to think of it… maybe Elizabeth’s reason was because she didn’t want to marry a werewolf because she thought she will never have a normal life with Alec. So she resorted to marrying a human but then later on realized that it still didn’t give her the kind of contentment she wants because she kept on hurting for turning back on her mate and being away with him. Nothing made her happy anymore and she maybe realized that leaving Alec wasn’t really a good decision in the first place. She can’t turn back time anymore so she just decided to end her life because of too much heartache. I think that was what happened.“I guess she regretted it.”“Regretted what?”“Regretted leaving you over someone else. That’s probably why she committed suicide because she couldn’t take the heartache. She couldn’t also take the guilt for hurting you and for not loving the man she married. She regretted all of it.”“How can you say that that’s the case?”“Or maybe you did something that made her hate you s

    (Elizabeth's backstory)"Can you take off my shackles at least? I don't have plans in esaping. And you know that even if I have, I don't think I can escape. For sure you have a lot of guards all around the corner of your manor."Alec narrowed his eyes at me. "What else do you need? Even if you have shackles, you can still drink the chalice of blood in your own. You are given everything you need so I don't see the relevance of your request.""Ah. Right. But what about if I want to go to the bathroom?""You are a werewolf. You don't have the mundane needs of a human. You know what, Madeline, you don't make any sense so stop trying. Let me remind you that I'm not Simon nor Lucius. I won't fall for your antics."I sighed and just drank the blood he provided me. I spent that whole day thinking about how can I free myself in these unbreakable shackles. But I don't think I can convince Alec to do it. He's so hard to bend. But I won't stop until I will figure out how. I need to escape. I need

    In the few weeks I served them, I endured everything. The Delucas are spanish couple. Mrs. Deluca was kind enough to help me. I was put in their house, dressed, fed. I offered her my service and loyalty to return the favor. But as the days progressed, I noticed Mr. Deluca's weird stares and touches whenever his wife isn't around.It didn't feel right. It wasn't right. But with no money and shelter, I missed that. Until last night. He ushered me into the bathroom of my room while taking a bath. If only I wasn't fast enough to grab the towel, he could have seen my nakedness. With the intensity of fear, I could no longer control myself and I told Mrs. Deluca happened."But guess what? Even my wife believes your nonsense, one apology from me, and we're okay. No matter what nonsense you say, you can do nothing. See? Your savior isn't around. She's out and you're here in your room, with me, alone and helpless. "He walked closer. With each step, my heart pounds harder. With each word, the m

    "Stand up," Weston commanded. "A woman's knees doesn't deserve the dirt."My lips parted a bit. He smirked cockily at my expression. When I didn't move, he put my hand on his."L-Lord Weston!" Mr. Deluca appealed.Weston looked at him, serious and lethal."Señor, I respect you as Mrs. Deluca's husband, but if you repeatedly lie on my face..." he trailed and formed a gun with his hand. “I might lose patience and pull the trigger accidentally. I'm sure you won't like that, will you? "Mr. did not remain silent. Deluca, intense fear faded from her face. He spoke with calmness but the thought was lethal."In our sect, we are trying our best to give justice to those who deserve it. Women are not instruments of pleasure, Señor. In case you have forgotten, it is stated in Ástron's constitution, that a man who commits a crime of rape , sexual harassment, or any violation against women, will receive a death penalty.

    "S-Solheim?" I said, shocked."Yes. You heard it right. This is the estate of the Von Rellis family here."I just heard about this place from the maids. That Solheim is the house of Ástron's rulers, and this one is just their second largest manor after the one in Manchester. But I still didn’t think I could step on it this easily, and even a Von Rellis would take me."You can work and stay here. You won't have any more problems."I just felt sorry for my lips. I'm speechless."Come on. I'm kind and handsome. I know, right? But please, don't fall for me."I suppressed a smile and shook my head. He chuckled. I watched Lucian walk straight inside."Let's go," Weston led me the way.The office is spacious. The uniformed maids immediately greeted Weston, but then a curious look came over me.I looked around. The baroque theme is giving me a taste of a distant time. I looked in amazement at every corner there.The incredible wealth of art, architecture and formality was evident in all of th

    Elizabeth's POV continuationI was stunned for a moment. Consciously, I immediately pushed Lucian."There's a different tint in your eyes. You're wearing lenses."I wanted to hiss. He doesn't even miss small details."So? My eyes are blurred. I need to wear one. Is there a problem?""Hmm... nothing," he said but there was a dark undertone in his voice.He walked out of the row of tents. I quietly followed until I saw the staffs handing out food to the people. I smiled a bit when I saw their genuine smiles. They looked very happy with the simple food they received.I looked at the young man nearby who was having a bit of a hard time handling his food because he had a cast on one arm.His disposable untensils almost fell. Fortunately, I got close and caught it."If you don't mind, can I help you?"He looked at me. I smiled a little when I saw the twitter in his eyes. I thought he didn't understand it.

    Alec couldn’t speak in too much irritation and probably, anger. His eyes were so dark and it was almost red, like the color of evil itself. The color of blood and war. The color of death. Yes, red can symbolize love like that of a rose. But it could symbolize many things such as what I have mentioned already.I know what I am doing is a big risk, but I have to try regardless. I need to save the innocent lives of those people who chose to stand by my side. They don’t deserve death like that especially when Alec is the one serving it. He is evil. His soul—if ever he has one which I doubt—deserves to rot in hell all together with his evil subordinates, especially Vienna. If only I am given a chance, I will really kill her. With the anger I am feeling for her, I won’t miss it for sure. She is just lucky that I am not capable enough to do that especially with the given circumstance. Because if only I was capable enough and there is no Alec blocking my way, I would have surely done it, give

    Back when I was young, my dream was simple. Stay out of troubles, earn a medical degree, make a good career, marry later on to my boyfriend at that time and have kids, maybe two or three. I envy those big families so I wanted to make my own. Maybe because I grew up in a broken family and I felt lonely. When Dad remarried to a woman who has a daughter same age as me, I thought I would finally have someone I can call as sister. I wanted a sibling. I wanted a normal happy family. But turns out that I would be kicked out in my own house because of her. Not that I was literally kicked out though since I left myself. But it is still the same for me because I knew I had no choice but to leave. It was getting worse every day and I don’t want Dad to worry about my issues. I went to Lynnwood, hoping I would calm down there and I also hoped that my stay in a new surrounding would bring good to me.However, looking back now, I can say that it brought me to something both good and bad.

    One day is left and I can say that the two days had passed were the hardest two days of my life. Not because of the hard training I received from Henry, Jaxon and Thomas, but because it seemed that there was still tension between the three sides. And it is worth mentioning that Lucius almost broke Jaxon's jaw. They have been an ass to each other no matter how Landon tries to behave. Carter is on his best behavior, though, no one can contest that. But I noticed his bold glares at Landon sometimes whenever their opinions oppose each other. I appreciate how he is trying to behave even though it's obvious that he has been trying to be patient with Lucius this whole time."Ah. I hate the other men in your life. I fucking hate their guts," Lucius whispered to me one time. I just laughed and pulled him to a hidden corner to give him a short kiss."Thank you for being patient for me. I appreciate it," I said while my hands were on his nape."What else can I do? I love you and I will always, a

    “Henry? Why Henry when you can train me yourself?” I asked Lucius because I really want him to train me himself. I know he is skilled enough to do that. He is powerful and very strong so I don’t understand now why he wants Henry to train me in heavier training when he already trained me in some basics before. I mean what is wrong with that? I am sure he is capable enough to teach me everything I need to learn. Not that it can guarantee that I will learn everything within three days because that is really impossible and I know that, but let's just say I am more comfortable around him than anyone else. Not that Henry makes me uncomfortable. He is a great man and a very loyal one, of course. But can’t I have my husband train me so we can have more time together? I mean who knows what will happen three days from now? No one knows what will happen—well, except those vampire/s who have the ability of precognition—but except them, no one knows.“It’s just, what we did in the past was only th

    “Jaxon, listen. All happened too fast. Lucius was taking a bath in our room while I was outside and walking by the shore of the beach. We didn’t have any that Alec had actually planned to make a move that day, so we let our guards down. A member of the council showed up out of nowhere, she has the ability to make portals, so that was how she managed to kidnap me so quickly. Lucius figured it soon but he didn’t go to Alec’s manor because he knew that if he does, we will just be killed, so he made a plan. Apart from that, he was confident that Alec won’t harm me until the day of the ritual. I was confident too. Because we know that Alec needs me alive for the ritual and he wants my body to be at its best state when Elizabeth’s soul will take charge on it. He never harmed me, so please stop your banters and stop being mad. The important thing here is that I’m safe and Alec won’t be able to get me for his stupid plans anymore.”“How sure are you that he won’t be able to do it again? He di

    “Jaxon is outside,” just when Mom said that, I smelled a werewolf’s scent, Jaxon’s scent.Lucius glanced at me with a darker expression. Of course he doesn’t like Jaxon. But then they are even because Jaxon feels the same. We just finished cooking pancakes and watching a football game while Mom throws question every now and then. I was a little uneasy about it though because I felt Mom has doubts on Lucius but the way I see it, Landon isn’t the least bit affected and is all polite to her. Well, maybe he’s trying to impress her. I would love that kind of effort given to my mother but as much as I want that, I also don’t want to put too much pressure on Lucius's shoulders. I don’t want him to feel that he has to force himself into doing something just for me. I don’t mind if he would show a little irritation or something, but he didn’t. or maybe he just really doesn’t mind.“I told him that you visited. He told me he is coming,” Mom went on.“When did you tell him? It’s just early in th

    I still couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe it that all this time the Lucian I was reading about in Elizabeth’s diary was the one who took care of Lucius ever since he was a child, the man Elizabeth loved first and Alec killed him because of jealousy. I can’t help but feel a little guilty even though it wasn’t really something I did. I don’t know. It must be because no matter what I say, Elizabeth is still my great grandmother, someone tied to my bloodline, and most importantly, someone who looked exactly like me.“You shouldn’t feel guilty about it, Maddy. you have nothing to do with it so you shouldn’t feel the least bit guilty. Even I don’t blame Elizabeth for anything. It just happened that destiny chose to play with her. She found love with a human but ended up meeting her mate and she was powerless when it came to vampire bond. Trust me, a lot are slaves to that bond, and I’m so lucky that you were an exception. Because damn, I don’t think I can do it if you leave me for Sim

    “While I was in Alec’s manor, I discovered something,” I said to Lucius while I was leaning on his chest after our heated lovemaking. It was when I had the time to talk about what happened in the manor. I never had the chance earlier because I was too busy dealing with how badly I missed Lucius and all I just wanted was for him to touch and kiss me. who can blame me anyway? We were just done with our second and the real wedding, and we were in the middle of our honeymoon but Alec ruined it all, imprisoned me at his goddamn manor and put me chained in a grand bed, disabling me from doing anything for the whole eleven days. Can you imagine how much pains I have went through within those days? One couldn’t imagine.“What did you discover?”“Elizabeth had a family.”“She had?”“Yes. She was adopted. But her adopted father did something that made her run away from home. You heard about different sects that dominated Great Britain in late 18th century? She was an heiress of an influential s

    "Are you hungry?""Yes," I answered breathily."Alec didn't feed you?" he asked quietly, there was a dark edge on his voice."He did. I'm not thirsty for soul, though." I grinned and gave him a smooth peck on his lips.He tilted his head, giving me a good view of his protruding adams apple."What are you thirsty for, then?I rolled my eyes while grinning. It was so obvious in his mischievous look that he already knew. He just wants to play with me. And goddamn it, God knows how much I love to play with him in every way I could.He kissed the corner of my lips while I'm laughing. He then climbed his way to the stairs and the next thing I knew, we are already on his room. Our room, I mean. He told me, I remember, that whatever he owns, I own it too. And that I also own him. I don't want him to refer it that way actually. I told him he's a man of his own, that nobody owns him not even his wife, but he insisted that he is letting me own him, every piece of him.Yes, my husband is such a v
