Demetria observes Clarice's face, watching a myriad of emotions flash in her eyes.

Minutes passed but Clarice was having a hard time deciding.

"It's okay, you don't have to decide right away. I will give you one month to decide. Take your time, dear," Demetria said casually.

"Wait... If you bring my son and husband here, they can never go back to their old lives, right? They will stay here and die like prisoners for the rest of their lives, just like me?" Clarice asked the most important question of all.

Demetria nodded her head. "Yes, of course. Once they arrive here, they can never leave again. And if your husband insists on leaving this house, I will punish him. Don't blame me if I end up killing him. I suggest bringing your family here so you can be reunited with them. I'm just being kind to you and your family. It's my way of reuniting the three of you in one place. You should be thankful for my generosity."

Clarice swallowed the lump in her throat. Tears shimmered in her eyes. W

  • Rise Of The Fallen Luna   86. The Good Life

    While Clarice was taken captive by the possessive vampire Demetria in her place, outside, Clarice's enemies were doing well.In the heart of the busy business district of the city, Kaspar’s two-month-old palm reading business was thriving.That sunny afternoon, a client entered the store and bought a lucky charm bracelet. Then she was assisted by the store attendant and taken to a room to have her palm read by Master Shaman Kaspar.“Have a seat, Miss,” the attendant said politely.“Thank you,” the woman in her 30s replied.As soon as the client settled comfortably into her seat, Kaspar revealed himself behind the black curtain. He was wearing an impeccable black suit, looking every inch a dignified soothsayer. “Good afternoon, Miss.”The woman smiled. “Good afternoon, Master Kaspar. I want to have a palm reading today,” she said, putting her hand on the table.Kaspar held the woman's hand and looked into her palm. He noticed the lucky charm bracelet made of plain-looking beads made fr

  • Rise Of The Fallen Luna   87. The Lucid Dream

    In the middle of the night, Alpha Callum was still wide awake, sipping his wine, staring at the star-filled sky on the horizon. Sadness and longing were deeply etched in his eyes.Beta Amir arrived on the balcony and settled on an empty chair. "Alpha, it's already 12:00 midnight, time to sleep," he told his grieving boss.Alpha Callum shook his head. "I'm not sleepy yet. You go ahead to your room and sleep," he answered dejectedly, feeling empty inside."You've been sleeping late at night since Luna Clarice's disappearance. Drinking alcohol every day is not good for your health," Beta Amir reminded him as he began yawning.Alpha Callum sighed heavily. "I know what I'm doing. I just drink enough to numb the pain, not to make me sick to death," he replied in a dispirited tone."I'm sorry, Alpha. There is still no news of Luna Clarice's body washing up on shore. I'm sorry to say this... every day while we are waiting for good news, the longer we wait... the more I think we will never see

  • Rise Of The Fallen Luna   88. My Sacrifice!

    When Alpha Callum and Beta Amir appeared at Viviana's beachfront property, two fire trucks were already on the scene. The firefighters were holding a hose, dumping water onto the burning house.The visibly shaken Viviana was holding her baby daughter close to her chest, while her maids huddled around her. The two bodyguards stood nearby, guarding the terrified women.Although there were tears in Viviana's eyes, her eyes lit up the moment her ex-husband appeared out of nowhere, approaching her location.Alpha Callum quickly took his sleeping daughter into his arms and looked at his ex-wife. "Are you okay?" he asked."Yes. Our daughter and I were fine. The servants were also okay. Thankfully no one was harmed," Viviana replied, wiping tears from her eyes."Why did the house burn down? What caused the fire?" Alpha Callum asked right away."It's all my fault. I admit to my mistake. It was an accident," Viviana said, and began sobbing hard out of guilt."What did you do?" Alpha Callum aske

    A few hours later, at 9:00 in the morning, Viviana finally woke up, feeling refreshed. Her baby daughter was already awake and had started crying. She breastfed her for a few minutes, and put some pillows around her tiny body to prevent her from falling off the bed.She rose from the bed and entered the bathroom in high spirits. She's home at last!After she finished in the bathroom, she picked up her daughter and left the room to find her ex-husband to greet him good morning.She was greeted by her maid outside the door. "Good morning, Madam.""I woke up late. I'm starving. Is breakfast ready?" Viviana asked."Yes, Madam. Alpha Callum is already in the dining room, eating breakfast with his son Caden," the maid replied."Ah, okay. Follow me," Viviana said, heading to the staircase, carrying her baby daughter in her arms, excited to join her ex-husband in the dining room.When she arrived there, the father and son had just finished eating and were about to leave the dining room.

  • Rise Of The Fallen Luna   90. Surprise For You!

    One month later.Clarice was having breakfast in the dining room, tears rolling down her cheeks when Demetria joined her. She felt sad and utterly hopeless in her current situation. Her heart was breaking inside. She struggled with her mental health. She thought she would die of heartbreak and loneliness anytime soon. She did not bother to hide the tears in her eyes. She wanted the world to see how lonely and terrible her life turned out after she became Demetria's unwilling captive."Why are you crying, dear?" Demetria asked casually, picking up a cookie and starting munching on it. She could already feel the drama unfolding in Clarice's eyes. To her, she was just a blood feeder, but sometimes she couldn't help it. She wanted to help Clarice in her own little way.Clarice looked at her and sadly replied, "I miss my husband and son so much!" She blurted in despair, an avalanche of tears sprang from her eyes. She couldn't hide the suffering she felt inside. She wished she could move De

    When Clarice stepped outside she was confused. She saw nothing but darkness. She was deeply disappointed because she didn't see her husband and son.Demetria stood beside her, smirking.Clarice looked at her in puzzlement. Then she finally realized Demetria had tricked her!“I see you are disappointed because you didn't see your husband and son, am I right?” Demetria asked, smiling in amusement.Clarice was furious. “Why are you playing with my emotions like this?” she asked, teary-eyed.Demetria sighed. “You keep telling me that you don’t want your family here because you don’t want them to be prisoners like you. But deep inside you are desperately hoping that I will bring them here. See the difference? You are just being hard on yourself, dear.”Tears sprang from Clarice’s eyes. She took a deep breath. “You are right.” She finally admitted the truth. Her heart got excited about nothing.“Let’s get back inside the house. The night is getting colder," Demetria said.Clarice followed D

  • Rise Of The Fallen Luna   92. Overwhelming Emotion

    The following day, Clarice woke up to a bright new day. She got up from bed, looked in the mirror and saw her eyes swollen after so much crying last night.She entered the bathroom and splashed water on her face. She recalled what had happened last night. She fell asleep thinking about whether she would agree to Demetria's offer to kill Viviana.Is it morally right to kill Viviana? She felt guilty just thinking about it. She technically stole Viviana's husband from her. Now that she was gone and dead in their eyes, would she still hold on to her husband, knowing that she could never go back to her old life because Demetria wouldn't allow her?Maybe it's about time to allow the ex-couple to reconcile. She can't go home anyway.The moment she accepts her fate, an avalanche of tears falls from her eyes.After crying for almost half an hour, Clarice finally left her room, went straight to the kitchen and made herself a hot coffee. She took crackers, sliced bread from the cupboard and ate

    Her son has long gone. Clarice felt miserable and empty inside. Even for a short time, she was happy because she was able to hug and kiss her beloved son. They're even talking for real. Too bad, when her son wakes up tomorrow, he will remember their conversation as part of his dream.She took a deep breath and stared at the ceiling. She didn't know if she would thank Demetria for kidnapping her son so she could see him. Despite what happened, she experienced happiness because she was able to spend some quality time with her son. It might not happen again.She closed her eyes and forced herself to sleep. A few hours later, she finally drifted into a deep slumber.The next day...Clarice woke up late on a beautiful morning. She glanced at the window. The sun was already up in the sky, shining brightly.Time to get up.She left bed, entered the bathroom and started her day.A few moments later, Clarice can be seen leaving her room and going straight to the kitchen to prepare her breakfas

  • Rise Of The Fallen Luna   123. Welcome Home!

    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

    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
