Clarice was thirsty. She needed to drink water, but she had difficulty holding the glass in her frail hands. She attempted again and this time she succeeded, but her hands shook uncontrollably, and the glass fell from her hands, spilling the water on her dress. The glass rolled and fell to the floor with a loud thud, sending broken glass all over the floor.Damn! She feels hopeless and useless.Tears of frustration filled her eyes. Why did she end up this way?Why?Why has she become so weak and ill?She used to be healthy, full of energy and hailed as the most beautiful Luna in the entire East District, the envy of women far and wide. She earned everyone's respect despite the fact she was wolfless.But things took a wrong turn six months ago when she and the other Luna went for a fun hunt in the forest, and she was bitten by an insect of unknown origin. When the hunt was over, she had a high fever for one week, got itchy rashes all over her body and her health deteriorated from that
Clarice's head snapped angrily in shock. "Whaaaaaat? This can't be!" She howled in pain. Her body trembled in rage. She couldn't believe that her best friend would stoop this low and betray her.No way! Not after everything she had done for her.Tears rolled down her face as the sadness, pain and grief of being betrayed by two people she loved and trusted tore her heart to pieces.The betrayal is too much to bear and it's killing her.Overwhelmed with too much bad news in one day, Clarice's defenses crumbled. The pain was so deep and blinding she started seeing dancing stars everywhere... then her body shut down and darkness enveloped her consciousness.Seeing her mistress pass out, Lorey began to panic. "Luna, please don't die on me! Please don't leave me. You are the only family I have!" She grabbed Clarice's hand, felt her mistress's pulse, feeling relieved that there was still a tiny bit of movement on her chest.Lorey is terrified. She noticed that although Luna Clarice was still
Alpha Callum read the message one more time, gritting his teeth in anger. He shoved the crumpled paper in the pocket of his black hooded jacket, meaning to cancel his identity while visiting Luna Clarice's room. He heard the news that she had been ill for a long time and dying, which is why he came to see her one last time.But he did not expect the shocking revelation she wrote in her letter that completely blew his mind away.He shut his eyes for a few seconds as the past came rushing back to his mind on one fateful night when it all started.No, it's not the right time to reminisce about the past. He needs to save Clarice before it's too late.Shaking his head, he walked to the door and exited the room."Let's make this discreet," Alpha Callum told the servant."I know a secret path that will lead to the other building without getting seen, Alpha," Lorey said in a low voice."Lead the way," Alpha Callum replied in a hard tone. He put the hood on his head and sent a mind link messag
Alpha Callum appeared outside a wooden house in the middle of a forest."Pops, where are you?" he called out to his grandpa at the top of his lungs. "Open the door!""Grandpaaaa!" he shouted again.The door of the wooden house opened and an old man in his 70s stepped outside. "Why are you so loud, son?" He protested. "You disturb my meditation time," he grumbled."I brought home a patient for you. Remember Clarice in the cottage? She was severely poisoned and she is dying. Please hurry up, save her!" Alpha Callum said urgently."Clarice who?" Grandpa Eliezer asked in bewilderment. He knew someone with that name, but that was a long time ago."Never mind," Alpha Callum said, rushing to the door.When Grandpa Eliezer saw the woman's face, he barely recognized her. The woman is dying. It's not the time to ask questions. "Alright, put her in the vacant room on the second floor," he ordered, opening the door wide for his grandson to enter.Alpha Callum climbed the staircase, entered the fi
He was sitting on the couch as time passed by. His mind was debating if he would stay at Clarice's side to watch over her the whole night or just go back to Alpha Bruce's mansion to attend the wedding with his new Luna.He doesn't care about the wedding at all.A big part of him wanted to stay by Clarice's side and whisper in her ears to fight for her life so she could finally take him to his son.A few minutes later, Grandpa Eliezer came down the stairs. "You're still here? I thought you had already left?" he asked."Later," Alpha Callum replied."I'm going to go outside to gather some herbs to make more powerful herbal medicine to help Clarice's body expel the plethora of poison harming her internal organs. Good thing you brought her to me in the nick of time or else you have to dig her grave starting this very minute," Grandpa Eliezer said with a sigh of relief."Does it mean she's going to survive the poisoning?" Alpha Callum asked optimistically."Right now, I can say she has a 5
Alpha Callum was back in Alpha Bruce's mansion, just in time before the wedding ceremony started."Alpha, the wedding will take place in twenty minutes," Beta Amir said, preparing the black formal suit Alpha would wear on the special occasion."I'm no longer interested in attending the wedding," Alpha Callum replied, looking pensive."Is it because you already met her?" Beta Amir asked."Yeah. I didn't expect I would discover something wonderful today," Alpha Callum smiled. Thinking about his son filled his heart with happiness."Alpha, how is she?" Beta Amir inquired."Her condition is serious with the poisoning and all that, but Grandpa's antidote is effective. She will recover soon," he added confidently."Hopefully so," Beta Amir said, placing the suit on the bed."During the wedding ceremony, blend with the crowd and investigate if they have already found out about her disappearance. If they already know, we will leave this place immediately," Alpha Callum said, his tone alert."
Alpha Callum watched the happy couple mingling with guests while sipping his drinks.Beta Amir established the mind link. "Alpha, the men have already left the cemetery. I'm the only one left here. Shall I leave now?" he asked."No. Wait for me. I want to see the grave with my own eyes," Alpha Callum said."OK. I'll wait here," Beta Amir replied.Alpha Callum put the wine glass on the table, stood up and walked towards the nearest bathroom to pee. He entered the empty cubicle and initiated teleportation in his mind. He vanished from the cubicle in the blink of an eye.Alpha Callum appeared beside his beta in the cemetery.The full moon above cast an eerie glow around the quiet cemetery. He looked at the tombstone. "Poor Clarice, buried without her consent," he murmured sadly, shaking his head."A tragic end to a well-respected Luna," Beta Amir said gloomily.Alpha Callum took a deep breath, looking around the cemetery."Are we going to avenge Luna Clarice, Alpha?" Beta Amir asked.Alp
When Alpha Callum arrived at the farm house, his grandfather was still wide awake, drinking coffee on the sofa."Why are you still awake, Pops?" he asked."I'm watching Clarice for three hours then I will wake up Lorey, so I can sleep," Grandpa Eliezer replied, yawning."You better go to sleep now. I will watch Clarice until morning," Alpha Callum said, heading to the staircase."Aren't you going home tonight? Your wife is waiting for you?" Grandpa Eliezer reminded him.Alpha Callum continues climbing the stairs. "All she knows is I'm having a business discussion with other Alphas at the wedding reception.""I see you are starting to develop a habit of lying to your wife..." Grandpa Eliezer said casually."This will end soon after Clarice is free from poisoning. I just want to make sure that she is well taken care of and recovers quickly so I can finally see my son," Alpha Callum said, reaching the top of the staircase."Fine, as you say so, I'm going to sleep now." Grandpa Eliezer we
Magnus smiled and broke the awkward silence. “We were elated to finally meet the Supreme Punisher. Rest assured that we will give our very best to our jobs, and we will not abuse our power and position,” he assured her quickly.“Thank you, Magnus. I’m glad to meet you all. Together we will work hand in hand to preserve peace and unity for the welfare of all peace-loving creatures on this planet,” Clarice responded, her words laced with wisdom.“Yeah. Peace for all," Magnus agreed. "This moment calls for a celebration,” he added cheerily, clapping his hands, his gaze glued on the masked woman who deeply aroused his curiosity.The door opened. Women, wearing black attire, arrived, holding silver trays in their hands. The women put the wine glass filled with red liquid on the table. After finishing the task, the women left the room quietly.“Everyone, let’s drink this high-quality blood taken from teenage human boys and girls,” Magnus said, picking up his glass, and raising it. The other
The following day, the women are well rested, having breakfast in the kitchen, discussing their planned activity in the evening.“So, tonight, I finally get to meet Magnus and the staff?” Clarice asked, while eating apples.“Yeah. Unless something comes up again,” Demetria jokes.“I’m sure nothing will happen tonight, am I right?” Clarice asked.Demetria observed her student’s face. “Why? Are you scared of meeting other vampires?"“Yeah, honestly, I’m feeling anxious right now. I don’t know why,” Clarice said, dropping another slice of apple into her mouth.“You have killed humans before. I thought you had already been toughened by such an experience. And don't forget, you are more powerful than any vampire alive today, so no need to feel anxious,” Demetria said.“Humans have no power, but vampires are a different breed, and I’m not really used to fighting and dealing with difficult problems yet. That is why I’m a bit apprehensive that Magnus and the others will see through my facade,
If they are the police authorities, then she will allow them to pass. If they are one of the enemies, then she will freeze them until the police arrive.When Clarice was already hovering above the speedboats and coast guard vessels, she knew Martha’s team had finally arrived. She saw her, the only female among the men. Martha was looking despondent and anxious. She's probably worried about her missing niece.While she was staring at Martha, she was wondering if she would work with her to help her and her team in chasing the bad guys once Demetria leaves. She realized that human cops are too few compared to the millions of people they have to watch.A cop's job is to protect people, preserve peace and order in society and arrest bad people. Just their numbers are not enough to do the job. That is why Demetria's contribution is valuable to the police force.Now, she is wondering if she will continue Demetria’s legacy, helping police locate the most notorious and baddest villains hiding
Demetria smirked. “Relax, boys. No need to bring out the spray. We will come with you to the basement to attend the party. I hope it’s fun,” she said calmly.The men looked at each other in amusement.“You know what? You are enthusiastic and brave. I like your attitude, saving us the hassle of forcing you to come,” Dave said, grinning wickedly.Demetria shrugged. “We’re already here. There is nothing we can do but move forward. We have come this far. I’m hoping the party is enjoyable so we don’t regret our actions,” she said, pretending she’s not aware of what’s going to happen next.Clarice cleared her throat. “Guys, I just want to ask this. After the party, can we still leave this island alive?” she asked innocently.The men looked at each other and laughed maniacally, finding the question silly. The men are now openly displaying the evil side they were trying to hide at the start of their meeting.“That depends,” Oscar replied cryptically.Demetria stood up. “Can we leave Rachel he
"We will only stay here for a few hours, trying to find clues. If we can't find anything worth pursuing then we will leave and try another establishment," Demetria finally said."I agree with that," Clarice responded with a nod.After one hour of waiting, the women finally entered the club. The club was crowded and the women didn't like the chaotic atmosphere inside the club."I hate clubs like this. So crowded, so noisy and people are everywhere, suffocating me. The music is too loud. I think my eardrums will explode.'' Clarice groaned in dismay."Me too," Demetria agreed. "Let's wander around and find clues," she added.The women ordered drinks, danced on the dancefloor and socialized with others, pretending they enjoyed the crowd and the music but their eyes were always on the lookout for anything and anyone suspicious.The evening was getting deeper, nothing had happened, frustrating the girls.Surprisingly, no one attempted to flirt with the women or tried to invite them to leave
Five months later.Clarice had a serious conversation with Demetria in the living room early in the morning."Dear, tell me. Are you ready now to be left alone on your own?" Demetria asked."Why?" Clarice's brows furrowed, feeling apprehensive."You are doing well in your training. It's about time I disappeared. I will leave next month. But before I left, I promised Martha I would help her and her team. They are currently facing difficulties locating the leaders of the illegal underground syndicates terrorizing the city. I will help them before I disappear," Demetria said calmly.Clarice felt sad. She was so used to having Demetria by her side that she felt lonely once her mentor leave."OK. I understand. I will accompany you on your missions. It's now time to put my training into action," she said excitedly."Good. Let's do it together then," Demetria smiled. "But before that let's discuss the Midnight Wanderers Vampire Association. Because tonight I plan to bring you to headquarters
“Are you shocked to see yourself inside the glass coffin? You look like twins!” Demetria said, smiling in amusement.Clarice couldn't believe she had finally met her doppelganger, but unfortunately, she was lying inside the coffin. "I was shocked indeed! This is unbelievable!” She admitted, astounded.Demetria said, “Are you curious what she has done to deserve this?”"Yes please. Tell me,” Clarice replied with intense curiosity flashing in her eyes.Demetria begins her narration. “Number 3 loves studying medicine and plans to become a chemist. But she created a deadly virus and tested it on a small human village, wiping out the entire population. No one survives."“That’s horrible! What kind of virus?” Clarice asked, shocked.“No one really knows what kind of virus it is, but according to the elders' investigations, it was airborne. She released the virus in the air during the daytime and this lady refused to reveal what kind of virus she had made in her home laboratory. She hid her
When Clarice landed back in the house on the sacred mountain, Demetria was waiting for her in the living room. She expected she would be scolded because it was the first time she had been out of the sacred house and visited her family without permission from her mentor.“Where have you been, dear?” Demetria asked, observing her face closely.She cleared her throat and explained, “Um, I tested my power and teleported to visit my family. Are you angry that I left without permission?” She asked apprehensively.To his surprise, Demetria shrugged her shoulders, uncaring. No sign of anger on her face.“Not at all, dear. Now that you are practicing your powers, I know you will be visiting your family soon. And that is exactly what happened. I can’t stop you, so no big deal. You can do anything you want. Whatever it is, I will support you,” Demetria replied calmly.She smiled in relief. “Thank you for not being mad at me.”“So, how’s everyone back home?” Demetria asked. “Did Viviana succeed i
Clarice teleported to Grandpa Eliezer's farm at the last minute. She landed in the river. Thankfully, no one was there when she landed behind the towering bushes.She must make herself invisible first before proceeding home. What she wants to avoid is landing in the living room of her husband's mansion and everyone will have a heart attack after seeing her alive.She must not rush things and take everything slowly. She will be going home anyway. She has to do things right. What she needs is a private moment with her husband so she can explain everything to him.Time to leave!She closed her eyes, made herself invisible, then teleported home.A few minutes later she landed inside the mansion, particularly in the master bedroom she shared with her husband.Thankfully, no one was inside the room when she landed. She quickly locked the door from the inside and looked at herself in the mirror.Fantastic, she can't see herself in the mirror.Perfect!Now she's confident to leave the bedroom
