One week later.

It was a bright sunny afternoon. Clarice, together with Grandpa Eliezer and the rest of the inhabitants of the farmhouse, went to the lake for a family picnic because Clarice, Lorey and Caden are going to relocate to another house after two days. Alpha Callum has not arrived at the lake yet.

While the group were enjoying the turquoise-looking water in the lake, a car pulled up in front of the farmhouse. A woman exited the car, walked to the front door and was about to knock on the door but saw the padlock in place.

She rummaged through her shoulder bag and fished out the spare key to the house.

"Where is Grandpa?" Luna Viviana asked, looking around the area. She successfully opened the padlock with her key, grabbed the doorknob and stepped inside the quiet house.

Alpha Callum responded.Clarice released a deep sigh of relief. Everyone was looking at her expectantly."Mommy, why does the woman say she is Daddy's wife? That woman is lying, right? You are Daddy's wife. Daddy loves you and me, right?" Caden asked anxiously.Clarice hugged her son. Her eyes were wet with unshed tears. "Daddy loves you and me. Don't listen to that woman. Let's not talk about her," she said and kissed his head to silence him."Mommy, can we go back to the house now? I want to play with my toys," Caden said, tugging at his mother's wet shorts.Clarice looked at everyone. "Guys, the picnic is over. Let's change into dry clothes. Callum is coming. Let's wait a bit," she said sadly.Marina gave her a hug. "Whatever it is that you are going through right now, I'll always be here for you," she said, her tone filled with understa

    A car arrives at Alpha Callum's mansion.A blonde woman in her early 30s exited the car. She walked to the guard, "Guard, can I see my best friend, Luna Viviana?""Good morning, ma'am. I'll ask Alpha Callum's permission first," he said, and talked to his radio connected to Alpha's office.A few minutes later, the guard got an answer. "You are allowed to enter the mansion, ma'am," he said, and opened the iron gate of the mansion.Mia smiled. "Thank you." She walked to the entrance of the mansion and was greeted by a servant. "Good morning, ma'am. I'll take you to Luna's room. Please follow me.""Thank you," Mia said, observing the place closely.

    While Luna Viviana was away shopping, Alpha Callum went to the master's bedroom and put the brown envelope on the dresser table containing the divorce papers. He grabbed three bags from the bottom of the closet and put all his clothes on the bed and started arranging them in the bags.While he was putting clothes in the bags, he sighed deeply. Although his wife is already pregnant with their child, he can no longer stay with her and pretend their marriage is still intact and smooth sailing.That's a big lie!He loves Clarice and his son Caden.

    After a few hours of weeping, Luna Viviana finally stopped crying.Mia felt relieved. Hearing her friend's pitiful cries caused her distress because she had run out of ideas to help her. "Are you okay now?" she asked.Luna Viviana nodded her head. "Yeah. After crying a river, I feel better, thanks to you," she said with a grateful smile."Great! I'm deeply worried about your condition. You can't keep crying forever. Now that your marriage is already over, you have to move on for your unborn child's sake. Even if you no longer wish to live, you have to continue living because you are carrying a baby in your womb. Do you understand me?"Luna Viviana nodded her head.

"Is there any problem?" he asked.Beta Amir returned to his desk and pretended to be busy reviewing reports sent to him by his subordinates.Luna Viviana sat on the chair facing her husband.

    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 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
