The following day.After Alpha Bruce left the mansion to go to the Bloodhounds Pack headquarters, Aurelia was also getting ready to leave the mansion.Kaspar was eating breakfast alone in the dining room.Aurelia made her coffee and sat beside Kaspar, facing the table laden with delicious food."I'm going to see Viviana at her house this morning. Would you come with me?" she asked, sipping her coffee.Kaspar shook his head. "No. I have already told you, I won't tolerate your madness this time. Why visit a woman living peacefully in her beach house and stir up trouble? Leave those people alone. We already had everything we needed, just stop digging and let things be," he said in an exasperated tone. He put a slice of ham in his mouth.Aurelia's nose wrinkled, annoyed that Kaspar was no longer interested in indulging in her whims. "I couldn't just let this opportunity pass me by. Viviana is already willing to meet me. The more reason to see her. I want to know if my suspicions are right
Aurelia shook her head. The expression on her face was serious. "I'm not joking, dear. I'm telling you the truth. I was there when the wedding between Alpha Callum and his new wife took place. The bride wore a veil on her face the entire time of the wedding ceremony and during the reception. And when I requested that I wanted to take a photo with her, she refused and gave me a fake alibi. And to my shock and surprise, her voice sounded the same as Clarice, my former best friend," she explained."Sometimes people have similar voices. It's nothing new," Viviana corrected her."I know, but I'm 100% sure the bride and Clarice have the same voice. And I know from the bottom of my heart that Clarice and Charice are the same person," Aurelia said with finality in her tone.Viviana's forehead furrowed. "So, tell me, what happened to Luna Clarice? Why did she get sick and declared dead on the same day you married her husband? I'm interested in knowing the truth from your mouth."Aurelia sighed
~Alpha Callum's Mansion~Beta Amir reported to Alpha Callum what had happened at the beachfront. "The guards reported to me that Viviana had a visitor today, and they talked for almost two hours, then the visitor went home," he said.Alpha Callum raised a brow. "And who is the visitor?" he asked."The guard sent me her photo. It's no other than Aurelia, Alpha Bruce's wife of the Bloodhound Pack," Beta Amir replied.The frown on Alpha Callum's forehead deepened. "Why did Aurelia visit Viviana? Are they friends?"Beta Amir scratches his head. "As far as I know, they aren't...""So why did Aurelia visit Viviana? What is her purpose for the visit? And what are they talking about?" Alpha Callum asked in puzzlement."I have no idea, Alpha. The guard wasn't able to come close to the women to spy on their conversation," Beta Amir explained.Alpha Callum fell silent for a moment, pondering what to do. What's the best thing to do?Beta Amir cleared the lump in his throat. "Should we inform Luna
That night, Aurelia and Viviana chatted online, and it was the start of their long-lasting friendship that got deeper in time. Since they were planning the downfall of Charice, they stayed low-key and Aurelia never returned to Viviana's beachfront house again to avoid raising suspension.Days, weeks, and months pass by in the blink of an eye.Viviana finally gave birth to a healthy baby girl. Alpha Callum was there in the hospital when she gave birth to their baby, and he visited his child on the beach once a month.One year later...Alpha Callum and Clarice enjoyed their blissful marriage filled with peace, love and harmony.They plan to embark on a one-week luxurious cruise trip to celebrate their first year wedding anniversary.They had already chosen the ship, the biggest and the newest cruise ship in the world, offering the most luxurious and state-of-the art accommodation and top-notch entertainment for its wealthy passengers. The ship was called the Vortex Of The Sea.But befor
The following day, Alpha Callum's family woke up to a beautiful sun-filled day, excited to welcome their visitors.The family had breakfast in the dining room at 8:00 in the morning, then everyone went to the back of the mansion where the party would be held.Caden and Lorey were having fun watching the party organizer put inflatables and other kiddie entertainment all around the garden. The party decorators were busy beautifying the place, putting balloons and confetti on the branches of the trees.The party will start at 3:00 in the afternoon and last until 8:00 or 9:00 in the evening.The caterer had arrived at the mansion and set up their long buffet table.The mansion was filled with a flurry of activities.At 12:00 noon the preparation of the back of the house was finished.Clarice and Alpha Callum watched the finished product in awe and satisfaction. The back of the house was turned into a mini-theme park. The striking colors of the inflatables produced festive vibes complement
Back in Alpha Callum's mansion, the guests start arriving, filling the air with their merry laughter as they began talking to each other. On the other hand, the children were having fun on the inflatable bounce slides set up in the corner.The catering staff were busy handing out lollipops, ice cream in cones and cotton candy to the guests.The long buffet table was filled with delicious dishes arranged palatably, making guests hungry.After an hour of socializing with each other, the guests finally settled into their seats. The party is about to start.The couple gave short speeches, thanking the house staff and employees for their hard work and loyalty to the couple.After the couple's heartwarming speech, the attendees cheered loudly, genuinely wishing the couple a happy wedding anniversary. Afterward, the couple handed cash gifts to the employees, eliciting loud cheers from everyone.After the cash gifts, funny and exciting parlor games for adults and children are up next. The pri
Days pass quickly.The day has finally come for the couple to embark on their one-week cruise ship holiday.The couple bid goodbye to their son Caden, Beta Amir and Lorey."We will bring you along next time, son," Alpha Callum said, planting a kiss on his son's head, ruffling his hair affectionately.Clarice hugged her son tightly, kissing his cheeks lovingly. "I'm going to miss you baby. I love you so much. See you soon!" she said teary-eyed."I love you Mommy and Daddy. Enjoy sailing on the ship," Caden replied, smiling brightly.Alpha Callum gives last minute instructions to his assistant, Beta Amir. "If something comes up, call me right away or send me a message on my email. Alternately, seek Grandpa's help. Do you understand?" he said.Beta Amir nodded his head. "Copy, Alpha. Rest assured I will take care of everything while you are away. You and your wife deserve a fabulous break away from home. Enjoy sailing on a ship."After the couple finished saying their goodbyes, they boar
In his room on the second deck of the cruise ship, Kaspar put blue eye contact lenses in his eyes. Next, he picked up the black curly wig and placed it securely on his head. After a few minutes of fixing his appearance in the mirror, he was finally satisfied.Even if he bumps into the couple, they can't easily recognize him because his disguise looks authentic. As long as he doesn't talk to them face to face, his charade won't be discovered. Clarice may remember his original voice, but if they accidentally bump into each other with no choice, he will just use a fake voice to talk to her.For now, he would just follow the couple around at a safe distance. He doesn't want them to notice that he is following their every movement.He preferred to throw Clarice into the sea if he spotted her alone without her husband around.Putting poison in her food would be difficult because that would need perfect execution and her husband was always around to complicate things, and he had no weapon th
"I have to go now, dear husband, because our conversation is not getting anywhere. We are just hurting each other. Remember, I always love you," she said solemnly, tears glistening in her eyes. She walked toward her son, hugging him tightly. "I love you son. Mommy will return one day to see you again. Take care of your father and yourself for me. Okay?""I will, Mom. But why do you have to go away again? You said you would never leave me again. Why are you leaving me and Dad again?" Caden asked, confused."I have to go away for a while. Your father refused to accept me because according to him I'm a changed person. It's hard to explain everything to you, son. One day, when you grow older you will understand everything. Be good, okay?" Clarice said between sobs."Okay. I will wait for your return, Mom. Please come back soon. I miss you so much," Caden said tearfully, holding onto his mother's hand tightly, not willing to let go.Grandpa Eliezer said, "Let your mom go, son. She will ret
While everyone was in awe of her powers, Clarice noticed that her husband was brooding. He didn't say anything to her after her demonstration of power. "What's wrong, husband?" she asked worriedly.Grandpa Eliezer quickly sensed a changing tide. He said, "Guys, let's give the couple a chance to talk in private," he said, holding Caden's hand, pulling him away from the couple.Marina and Carlos walked away with their baby daughter.When the couple is finally left alone, it's time for confrontation."Who is the guy who pushed you into the water during our cruise ship holiday? Tell me his name so I can kill him with my hands," Alpha Callum asked, wanting to avenge his wife."No need. I want to punish that person with my own hands. He and I have a lot of scores to settle. I would not be happy if he dies in anyone's hands. He must suffer terribly at my hands. I won't be merciful this time. Revenge is sweeter if I do it my way. I'm powerful now. No need to protect me. No one can harm me aga
Clarice sits on the edge of her son's bed, pondering what she's going to do next.Should she just wait here for her husband and son to come home or teleport there now to Grandpa Eliezer's farm?Ah, it's much better to go there now and see everybody!She initiated the teleportation process in her mind and disappeared from her son's room in the blink of an eye.Meanwhile, Viviana has just finished informing her partners in crime that Clarice is very much alive. She left the master bedroom and searched for Clarice, but she couldn't find her in Caden's room.Where is she?She went to the staircase and looked down below in the living room. Clarice was not there either."Where is Charice?" she asked the maid who climbed the stairs, bringing fresh laundry to the second floor."I didn't see Luna Charice, Madam. I thought she was now resting in the master's bedroom?" the maid asked, confused.Viviana glared at the maid. "Don't call her Luna! I'm the real Luna and the wife of Alpha Callum!""Co
The following day, after breakfast, Clarice was having a conversation with Demetria in the living room.Clarice said, "I would like to ask for your permission.""What for?" Demetria asked."I want to go home today to visit my family. I have this sudden urge to see them," Clarice replied."Sure no problem. Are you going to reveal everything to them today?" Demetria asked."Yeah, hopefully so. It all depends on the situation though," Clarice replied. "I may spend the night there. I will see you tomorrow," she said."OK. But what if your husband insists on coming here because he is angry and wants to have a fight with me? What will you do?" Demetria asked."It would never happen," Clarice assured her."He might get angry that I imprisoned you in the basement and turn you into a vampire. Sometimes men are like that. They easily get angry about a lot of things without getting to the bottom of everything," Demetria explains.Clarice sighed. "I know. I will explain everything properly to my
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
