Chapter 11
George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in blue is being played on the gramophone. This music complements the classical motif of the room. But the ambiance in the area seemed to be changed when the next piece was played. Mondestrunken, a Pierrot Lunaire Pieter composition. To the owner of that room, the music cleanses his soul. His legs are crossed at the top of the table while he enjoys a piece of a Cuban cigar.
Dante lets a cloud of smoke out of his mouth. To his imagination, he began to see an image of Esmeralda forming out of it. He smiles a bit but this was erased in a sudden when an image of Viktor emerged and kissed Esmeralda in the cheeks. Dante whips the smoke whit his hands to his disappointment. He stood and walk towards the glass window.
Outside, he sees the whole vicinity of his kingdom. While he was taking a good look of the view, he hears a knock on the door.
“Who is it,” Dante inquired.
“Pardon me, my Lor
At last, Dante knows where to find the last group of sorcerers, little did he know that they also have the most important thing that he is obsessed with, Esmeralda’s reincarnation, Deadrei.…Rio’s life was so dull until he met Deadrei. She was unexpectedly the person who watches him wearing a black cloak to conceal her identity. Her timing was right, truly, everything falls into its proper place at the right time. But where is she now? Rio seems to be agitated, he just met Deadrei once but he cannot erase this memory of her in his mind. He is so hooked on Deadrei’s mysterious personality. He must see her again; he should at least get a glimpse of her somehow. He can feel his heart beats so fast and he is having dreams of her that sometimes he does not want to wake up anymore. Who is this Deadrei anyway, why is he longing to see her again?He had become more anxious to know her whereabouts. He’s been troubled by night
It was dark, the long hall is filled with the cold crisp breeze of air entering through a small vent. The footsteps of a man echo along the tunnel. The man lit a fire in one of the torches hanging in the wall. One after another, until the underground tunnel, is filled with enough light, enough for the members of the sect to used in their secret meeting. These people are part of the faction that opposes the leadership of the current Alpha, Eloy.…People still call him Eloy inside Amberwood, but in the human world, he uses Dante as his name. When Eloy became the new Alpha after defeating Adrianus, his people rejoiced. They thought that he is the chosen one in the prophecy that would lead his people to greatness. Adrianus had caused half of their population to be wiped during the war he had declared against the immortal vampires. The former Alpha king was truly the most powerful creature that has walked on earth and no one can argue with that, but in
“We are being followed,” Theodore imparted to the elders in the campfire.“Yes, we can feel them, their stench of bloodlust is so high that they cannot hide their present properly,” Dolores replies to her husband.“Let them be, there is no need to engage in a bloody fight against these barbaric creatures,” One of the elders named Aldous stated.“Then we should set a perimeter seal, it may not stop them from entering the camp but at least they cannot transform inside our domain,” Theodore suggested.Deadrei was just silent and listened carefully to their conversation.“We must protect the Luna or wrath will be brought to us by both the Sigma and the Alpha.” Theodore continued implying their daughter’s safety.Deadrei has been restraining herself to be with his mate because the last time she went outside their domain, he was tracked down by some rogue ones on the w
A team of fifty well trained Lycans were assembled. Before leaving Amberwood, they have been briefed of their mission, take them alive and kill anyone who will resist except the main family. Dante wants to interrogate them first before he can decide what to do with them, after all this people can be good allies because of their ability. All were set and they are ready to go, the Alpha sent them himself and said that he wants no mistake.Brutus is with Calixto who is leading them to the area. Upon arrival at the place, Calixto was shocked to see that they were all gone. If he was saved by Brutus from their Alpha’s wrath in the first time, he knew that there won’t be a second time. Brutus also knew this, he took a moment to see what he needs to do, he cannot afford to lose Calixto whom he raised since childhood. After contemplating he came up with a plan, he will pretend to kill Calixto himself in order for the other Lycans not to suspect. He would rat
Water splashed all over Rio’s red Mustang, then sprayed with white foam as white as the snow in the winter. After several scrubbing, the car was rinsed with soft pressured water just enough to remove the soap from the shiny metal body of the car. A few moments later Rio gets in his car and gave a decent amount of money as tip to the technician. Then his mustang roared as he turns on the engine.Today is the schedule meeting between the West Traders and Flavell Tobacco Corporation. Rio decided to go by himself to the venue of the meeting. Usually, aspiring business partners are the ones that go to the Flavell building to lay their business proposal in front of this young CEO. But today, the client has requested for Mr. Flavell to have the meeting at their new building. They said they have a lot to offer to him and they can show him the important people in their company, a nice strategy for building stronger relationship with a valued businessman.Rio
Busy, are the people inside the kitchen.“Come on now guys, we do not want our guest to slew nasty words to us with these kinds of dishes,” Madame Dolores nagging at the agitated kitchen crew.“Mom? Please do not intimidate our hardworking staff,” Deadrei tells her mother.“I am sorry my dear, I just don’t feel good about that guy you referred to as your mate, I sense danger,” Dolores replied.“Weren’t you the one who first seen that in your vision Mom?” she replies to her uneasy stage mother?Madame Dolores may seem to be seen as overreacting, overprotective to her daughter but her love for Deadrei cannot be questioned by anyone. She thought all the magic tricks and spell that she thinks would be useful to Deadrei when the time comes.Aside from being the wife of the leader of the last people of Dark magic users, Dolores is a direct family of Esmeralda's mother. Maybe
The busy street of Dale City is filled with rushing vehicles and people that are always in a hurry. Calixto lifted a large bag of garbage to put in inside the large bin that would be later picked up during graveyard hours. He was working double-time to pay his rent. He had never imagined that he would end up serving the weak normal beings they called humans. He had made friends with another fellow kitchen crew at Roasters. There is a time that he would join them in a catering service outside, and they would be paid double their rate.Calixto decided to go with his colleagues to yet another catering service, the venue is at the “West Traders”. An event was launch by the management to attract potential business partners. A lady in a red dress wearing a fancy hat is making the final inspection before the event begins. She stops in front of Calixto who is one of the in-charge in the server’s table.“You look, familiar dear. Hmm, where
Her hair, now tied in a ponytail, made her look more seductive in Rio’s eyes. He watches Mathilda get dressed from outside through that thin layer of the curtain made of fine silk. Deadrei looks contented but a little bit ashamed of herself failed to hold back her feelings and was tempted successfully by his radiating warmth.She went outside the sleeping area where she found Rio holding an ancient book of spells.“Be careful with that, you do not want to accidentally cast a spell on yourself, right?” She warned him.Rio closed the book and started to ask her a question.“I just want to know how did you know about me? Who are you really, why do I feel like I have known you for a long time? I have always felt this urge inside of me wanting to be with you ever since we met at the mansion.”“I am your mate from our previous life, we are soulmates. You are the reincarnation of Viktor son of the Alpha ki
