I was still reeling from the fact that the king decided to take refuge in me. Something in my chest rose as I felt somehow proud.It wasn't every time anyone got to tame the ruthless king.I rose early in the morning when the birds were busy chirping. Their sound was rather melodious unlike most of the time. It was such a beautiful day. I hummed as I made my way to the balcony. The view was more intoxicating, as the mist escaped from the forest. I watched from afar as the other pack members exchanged their shifts. After taking the breathtaking view, I decided to take a quick shower and head downstairs.I settled for a long black frock with french laces on the shoulders. I was very sure that I felt beautiful, I could feel it too. My skin was glowing for some reason."That'd be perfect" I said when I was done tying my hair in a neat bun. I kissed my daughter's forehead and went downstairs. The sound of my shoes echoed in the empty castle, I guess everyone was still sleeping. But, that
"My Lord, I think we shouldn't make the trade. For all we know, humans have no Idea who you are. If you show them your power, then they'll know not to mess with you" Frank remarked.Pharrell sat on his office chair in the castle. He listened as his trusted people gave him ideas. The mine was rich in diamonds and new diamonds were discovered everyday. But, now, his collaborators wanted more of the pie. They knew the mine was a success, hence they wanted the diamonds to increase yet they didn't provide their end of the bargain."What do you think, Joseph?" He asked his cousin, who was quiet all the time. Joseph shifted into a comfortable position, before answering."Why would you want my opinion?" He asked sarcastically. Pharrell narrowed his grey eyes."Would you rather I sell our whole legacy and tell you nothing?" He stood up, shoved his hands in his pocket. He stood by the window and watched the people outside."Fine, I say we negotiate with another company. This time we should be m
I didn’t understand what was happening to me. The last time I checked I was a whole human being, not a damn vampire as Charmaine said. I refused to believe her until she slit her wrist to test if I’d have any desire for blood and it turned out that it was the truth.“Charmaine, no one can know about this. Please promise me” I looked into her black eyes, holding her hands. She nodded in agreement.“Ingrid, you didn’t know you were a vampire?” she asked, as if surprised; and the answer was yes. I didn’t know I was a vampire until she told me.Never in my life had I imagined that I’d be immortal.“Charmaine, what do I do now?” everything would probably change in my life right now. I mean this was a huge discovery. It was a good thing Pharrell got a call before he could remove the shawl from my face. Otherwise, I’d have been a dead meat.“You keep calm and collected. No one can know about this.” She said, as if pitying me. If there was someone to pity me, it was me. I mean I literally liv
“How come you kidnapped the child? What are we going to do with her right now?” a man’s voice was heard. He sounded angry because he was yelling.“What did you expect us to do? The little thing saw us.” Another said.“As of now, they are looking for her. It’s only a matter of time before they find you. Pharrell will kill you if he finds you. He grew fond for that woman and her child.” The first man spoke. This wasn’t part of the plan. All they had to do was get inside the Houston pack’s borders without being seen. But instead, they announced themselves.“Look here, we don’t take orders from you. We have our boss, your boss in case you forgot. Pharrell’s reign is soon to be over. Now, pull yourself together and tell me what to do with this little person” the one who seemed to be a boss replied. His tone was not friendly at all…….“My queen, you need to drink some water. It’ll help you cool off” Clara said, passing a glass of sugar water to Ingrid who was shaking. She cried enough. No
It was past midnight when I woke up, not by my choice though; but by the blood curdling screams that echoed in the castle. I had so much forgotten that my daughter was still missing and there was a search party out there, looking for her.I tried as much to keep my eyes shut since sleep didn't seem to consume me. However, whatever attempt I tried to keep still and not let curiosity control me, I found myself on the soft fluffy carpet on my bare feet.The horrendous scream was getting louder and louder. Twisting the gold knob, I set my feet on the wooden carpet. I could feel my heart palpitating at every step I took and every creak the old wood made as I walked.My ears were alerted as I followed the screams, and I found myself out the front door and into the woods I went; hoping I could bump into her accidentally. I didn't mind if there was someone who could possibly look for me. What I had in my mind was look for my child and get to where the screams were coming from.I wondered how
Joseph, who had been watching the entire altercation, reached for his heart. If it could, it'd have popped out of his chest by now. He thought of shifting to his wolf form when he saw that Ingrid was outnumbered and called for help. To his surprise, It seemed she had everything, perfectly under control."She's a fucking witch" he gritted his teeth. He was between a rock and a hard place. He didn't know what to do at that moment and the only thing resonating in his mind was tell Pharrell. But on the other hand, he didn't have the heart to because he'd kill her himself if he found out.The woman was a walking dead. She was in dangerous territory. He sighed, raking his hand in his black hair before he limped forward."Ingrid, you are…" he didn't even have the right words to say when he saw her. Her skin was busy reforming back to its glow. It had peeled off and caused her to have some scrubs. Her eyes were still hollow and bleeding. Her fangs had been extracted.She watched in pure horro
I found it difficult to fathom what was going on with my life, especially with birds barging in my room and speaking to me. I mean it was already enough that I had to be told that I am a vampire and a witch. My life was totally ruined and there was no going back to fix it.I laid down on the bed, drifting into my thoughts until I heard someone groaning beside me. I looked at Paula and she was awake.“Hey, sweetie. Are you okay?” her grey eyes misted with tears. My heart couldn’t help but feel clogged at the sight of my little being hurt. I engulfed her in my arms, as if she’d escape anytime I blink.“Mama, I’m scared.” She whimpered as small sobs left her lips. I rubbed her back. Soothing her.“You don’t have to be my love. Mama is here and she’ll protect you” her breathing had calmed down, hence I lay her on the bed. A light tap resonated from the door. I waited to see who it was.Thankfully it was Charmaine and aunt Marah.“How is the little princess?” Marah asked. I sigh heavily be
As much as Paula said she knew who kidnapped her, she couldn’t give me a clear description of the person, but she was very sure that if he were to come near her, she’d be able to point him out. I sighed with defeat.“Okay sweetie, now that you are done, let’s go and find aunt Charmaine to bother” I said with a smile and she gave me a thumbs up. The day was actually going great. I was glad I could take some of the bad thoughts from Paula by keeping her busy. The three of us were walking around the pack houses. We took a road that was paved in yellow sandstones. As we were walking, most people we met kept gawking at us, rather me. I nudged Charmaine to check if I had anything on my face. When she shook her head, I grew worried.“Charmaine, do you think we should go back?” I asked. She seemed to have the same thought as me, so she nodded. We were about to return to the castle when we felt a gush of wish pass by us so fast and unnoticeable. Our eyes opened in surprise when we saw two wome
