🥀 LAVANYA'S POV 🥀Damn life and damn Dracula.I felt like he was enjoying himself watching me embarrass myself.And damn my stupid donut-shaped legs too, when did it crawl on someone's skin, I would have managed my embarrassment if it was someone else. But Dracula? That dude with a flat face?He wasn't totally wrong, I seemed to be enjoying it, who told him to be warm?Fucking werewolf.“Lavanya!” Arwan screamed for the third time to grasp my attention. “Where the hell did you go?”“To bed… I mean – I'm right here,” I stammered.“We are going to the witch now, call everyone,” Arwan declared.“Huh! Me? Why?” I asked in refusal.Arwan gawked at me, “Because you are the only one here.”I jingled my head drastically, “No I'm not, Bruno's ass is also here. Send him instead.”“I have something to discuss with Bruno,” Arwan responded, “Alpha Vargus and the others would be here on their own, Call Dracula.”Dracula? The exact person I wanted to shoot into another planet a few minutes ago?“N
🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀The cuddle lasted as long as it could. I was able to keep Alastor with me for a few hours, and I wanted it to last for a day. That should be enough time for Arwan.I wasn't totally comfortable, yet… I wasn't uncomfortable.He was cold, brutal… yet he was warm and sweet.“Are you alright? Want to get up for a while?” He nibbled on my ears.I jingled my head, “I'm fine, I just…”“Just what?” He whispered.I raised my head to look at him, “Want to remain like this… with you.”His eyes darkened, I could feel the sadness he was trying hard to hide, “I know you are trying to hold me down Melonie,” Alastor blurted out, “You are stopping me from getting to the Witch… because of your boyfriend, Arwan; you want him to get the sword before me.”I was speechless, no. I was traumatized and unable to speak.How did he…?What if he gets Angry and kills me for deceiving him?Now everything is messed up, he knows I'm lying.“How did you…? I paused, “When did you figure it out?”“Im
🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀I took a deep breath in, feeling the air fill my lungs, and then slowly exhaled, letting the tension seep out of my body. My mind was racing, my thoughts swirling with anxiety and anger. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, my pulse quickening with every passing moment.I closed my eyes, trying to shut out the distractions around me. I focused on my breath, feeling the sensation of the air moving in and out of my body.“Don't suppress it,” Arwan's voice rang out, “Hit me and get over with it.”“Arwan,” Bruno warned.“You want me to hit you?” I asked and scoffed, “No, it's much better if your conscience judges you forever.”“This is not the problem here,” Lavanya yelled, “There's a wild beast out there searching for us like food, we can't afford to be arguing.”“Says someone that would rather argue than eat,” Clara fired back.“So how do we get Ashera from them?” Bruno asked.“I don't think we can,” I announced, “Let them fight it out, then… we'd face whoever
🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀Angel Gabriel's words rang in my ears. I struggled, shaking my head and covering my ears in panic.“That shouldn't be —” I stammered, “There has to be a way, we can find a way around it right?” “Melonie,” the Angel called softly.“There has to be a way to fight him,” I yelled, “How do I fight him if I'd get hurt if he gets hurt?”“There is indeed a way,” the Angel muttered, “I could do that if you wish for it, but I have to remind you; that you have just one thing left to wish for, that's all I owe you for saving my life.”“But are you sure you want to use your last wish for this? There's a whole lot of better things you could wish for.”I nodded my head, my face turning pale and serious. " Aside from the wish, please, if there's a way… tell me.”“There is indeed a way,” the Angel uttered. “Stab him with Ashera's sword, then Alastor would die. Of course, you would feel the pain for a while… then everything would be fine. But if you are unable to contain the pain,
🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀As I wrapped my arms around Alastor, a sense of warmth and comfort washed over me. His arms enveloped me in return, holding me close as we stood there, swaying gently to the rhythm of our own beating hearts.The warmth of his body seeped into mine, chasing away any chill or tension that may have been lingering. I felt my muscles relax, my breath slow, and my mind quiet as I surrendered to the safety and security of his embrace.His chest rose and fell with each breath, and I felt my breathing synchronize with his as if our hearts were beating as one. The warmth of his skin radiated through his clothing, and I could feel the gentle pressure of his fingers wrapped around my back, holding me close.“I was searching for you when I came in, where were you?” I asked calmly.“I was out,” he responded.I smiled warmly, “Doing what?”“Killing,” he blurted out.I pulled away and he looked at me with innocent eyes that said, “What did I do?”“Do you have Ashera?” I asked, cha
🥀 LAVANYA'S POV 🥀My eyes were operating on their own, I almost hit my head on the door even though I have eyes, those eyes weren't working.I heavily dragged my feet towards my room as soon as Arwan said the words “Dismissed.”I flung the door open, kicking it widely open with my feet.I walked into the room and went straight into the bathroom to pee.I pushed open the door, expecting to simply do my business and jump into the bed. But instead, I was met with a surprise that made my heart skip a beat.Right… the wall gecko was still in my room.There he was, Dracula standing in the shower, completely naked. I froze, my eyes fixed on the unexpected sight before me.For a moment, time seemed to stand still. I felt like I was trapped in a snapshot, unable to move or look away. Dracula, oblivious to my presence, continued to take a shower, dancing, humming a tune and shaking his butt like he was Moana, competing for Grammy. I felt a rush of emotions, surprise, embarrassment, and a hin
“Run Melonie,” my mother’s friend, Evy, screamed out, causing me to jump in fear.I stood there frozen, scared to move. My face crumpled like a piece of paper, my eyes welled up in tears as I stumbled backward, as if punched in the gut.I stared at my mother, Maela, who was swallowed in sweats, fighting off some unexpected, scary animals.“Melonie, you need to leave, run and hide. I promise to explain everything to you…RUN,” my mother, Maela, screamed.It was my eighteenth birthday; I had just returned from my party only to meet them fighting monsters.“Is that a werewolf?” I thought to myself, shivering in fear.The fight was toxic, and I felt like that thing was aiming at me for a reason.Having no choice other than to flee from the scene, I dashed out of the house at full speed.“What were they?” I murmured, frightened.Hurrying back to my birthday party, I looked around for my best friend, Arlo, when I got hit by a young man, more like he was trying to pass through me but couldn't.
The death of my mother took a lot from me, but the fact that I woke up one morning to celebrate my birthday only to discover that I was wanted in an unseen world brutally was even more draining, scary and exhausting.“We need to go now,” Arwan sounded behind me, dragging me back into the reality i was avoiding.“What?” I asked in disappointment.“I said, we need to leave,” he retorted.“Can you please deactivate that thing that is making you invisible? I need to see you properly,” I requested sarcastically.“Melonie, we need to leave, we don’t have much time,” Arwan calmly stated.“My mother just died,” I yelled.“And you will die too if you don’t snap out of it,” he yelled back.“Do you not have feelings…Arwan?” I asked out of nowhere, shocked at how no one cared that a young girl had just lost her only parent.“I'm sorry, but my mission here is to save you. In peace or pieces, dead or alive. and yes; I dont have emotions,” he retorted, carelessly.“What?” I yelled in shock as he grip

🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀Morning came too quickly; I would have preferred darkness lasted some more time.I was still confused about how I was going to track Alastor down, but I knew I needed to do it, at least to give Arwan and the gang some more time.If Alastor gets to the witch before them, she's as good as dead and so are the others, my dear family would be dead too.I am the light and Alastor is the darkness, makes more sense now that I've met him.He kills for entirely no reason but fun, the grin on his face and happiness in his eyes whenever he talks about someone he killed brutally was concerning, what a psychopath.Regardless, there's this love snooping around in my heart for him.Have you ever loved a monster? You'd wish all day and night that you could just deliver him from all the crazy demons camping inside him.Even though it's not possible, the hope of Alastor turning good depends on his death, he'll only be harmless when he's dead.Cruel, isn't it? I thought so too.My mot
🥀 ARWAN'S POV 🥀We were yet to point out who exactly had Ashera and it made us so restless that we all sat with pale faces, breathing heavily and staring into the void.“Seriously, I'm tired of all this,” Lavanya complained, “Why do we have to keep guessing who Ashera is with? Can't the nigga come out and say, “Hey I have Ashera” so we would at least know what we are doing.”“Do you always talk this much?” Dracula asked with a smirk on his face.“Yes, you?” I retorted, “Do you always point everything out?”Ignoring them, I stood up and walked to the window, “Melonie, talk to me, what's going on?” I murmured, biting my fingers.“Any words from Melonie yet?” Bruno asked, walking closer.“No, not even a hi,” I responded.Bruno tapped my shoulder, “She'll say something soon.”Just then, Melonie's thoughts came in, “That stupid witch has Ashera, get it from her before Alastor, he's going in search of her tomorrow, I'll try to hold him down for a while.”“The witch has Ashera?” I announce
🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀The Loud sound of things shattering got me on edge, I was unable to sleep because I was worried about who Ashera was with.But Alastor, rather than being worried, I'd say he's angry and disappointed about the turn of events.I went towards his room, I stood frozen in the hallway, my heart pounding in my chest as I gazed at the door in front of me. It was just a simple door, made of plain wood and adorned with a plain metal doorknob. But to me, it seemed like a portal to a nightmare world, a gateway to unspeakable terrors.I had been putting off entering his room for what felt like an eternity. I had been trying to work up the courage to push open the door and step inside, but my fear had been holding me back.I took a deep breath and tried to shake off the fear that was gripping me. I told myself that I was being ridiculous and that there was nothing to be afraid of. But the fear lingered, refusing to be extinguished.I slowly reached out and grasped the doorknob,
