Eve was at one of the tower in Zeadin. She stands behind the ledge and rest her eyes upon the bright lights coming from Dzhimara. Zeadin was indeed a strategic place for war. The only thing they vampires lack off was their ability to shapeshift like the wolves. Thus, they would lose early when in war like they did years after her people genocide.
After banished and forced to live in the mountain side the vampires were able to build a new home in a land founded by Dante. It was name Zeadin, inspire by his family name and the vampires have lived peacefully ever since. Nevertheless, the influence Sviatoslavich has upon Afhrin was overwhelming. Even if magical creatures in Afhrin is living independently, out of fear and respect for Adam, they would choose his side and gladly kill the vampires if Adam order them too. Truly they are being disrespected, underrated and misunderstood.
Vampires are not violent creature. Perhaps they are when they are unable to find their tru
Nico was in his room arranging some of his documents. Other guards were standing outside of his house. Despite being one of Adam’s powerful guard, no one in their right mind should take the Akhillar for granted. A creature with ancient power as her is very powerful and stories of their horror travel from time to time. To be able to exist when one currently present is definitely a scary thought. He turns to the cupboard on the wall and hold the small stuffed wolf. He sighs and rather grateful his child and mate is safely being escorted to the castle. In wars, it’s important that anyone important to them is in a safe condition or these family members might be used against them. He made sure that everything in his home is taken care of before stepping outside.Once he did, his breath stuck in his throat seeing every one of the guard has spike penetrate their body and all five of them hangs from the spear planted in the ground with claw and bite marks bloodying their shirt and pan
“Where’s Nico?” Abram asked in the breakfast table. Everyone else except for Ambrose was eating at the table. Ariadne and Adam, both looking tired haven’t touch any of their food while the rest was taking small bites from their plate.“I thought he went home to grab his stuff?” Maksim answered him, being the only one having the largest appetite with no worries painting his face.“What? Did he go alone?” Abram spoke with concern lacing his voice.Everyone raised their voice and Nikolai asked. “He went with some guards. Why are you looking scared?’Abram rub his forehead, leaning on the table, “His home is outside of the walls. You people should’ve tell me. What if something bad happen to him?”Adam took a sip of his coffee and spoke with his eyes still looking down at his plate. He had a tired expression, “He’ll be fine. He is my personal guard. He’s strong. He went to bring his family her so he should be fine.”Abram didn’t look convince. He
Night time darkens the whole room where Nico resides. He was resting alone in his worn out bed. He wore no clothes except for the cloth bandage wrapped horizontally on his chest and another long bandage curled around his broken arm. The bruises around his body has already turn dark purple and in his sleeping form, he shivers, gritting his teeth with sweats darting his forehead.Out of nowhere, a specks of tiny sparkling snowflakes materialized above him. The small dust like ice scattered around him and his wound slowly heals. Nico exhale with relief feeling the pain pulsating in his body subsides. His eyes open slowly and he sat up with a moan. He felt the open wound n his body is slowly closing so he took of the bandage and rub his newly healed body. But when he tries to move his body and stand, he felt a sharp pain throb from his former wound. He pants at the sensation. He started to remember what had happen before he was almost beaten to death.Eve would heal hi
“A surprise! Oh, Adam, you shouldn’t. You know how much I love to kill wolves right> And her eyou brought your son. Tell me, have you sais farewell to Ariadne? How great is it if I get to trhow your lifeless head to her feet? Maybe then she’ll understand how weak her mate is and realise the mistake she did by betraying me.”“She is your daughter!” Abram growled back. Eve scoffed, “She is not my daughter. Ambrose and her is not mine, not then, not now. My real daughter is dead due to the lieks of you.”“She loves you. Ariadne and Ambrose love syou so much. Surely all those years of caring for them, loving them as if they were your own means something to you?” Abram’s voiced softened. Aiak shook he rhead. Her smiles dropped, “Like I said, my real daughter died a long time ago. I thought that these two would be enough to replace the emptiness of losing my child but I was wrong. Ariadne and Ambrose is a mistake.”Adam move closer. Unlike the people around him, he wo
“So Eve has the stone now…I assume that we are all dead.” Maksim spoke in a defeated voice.“There is still time. We just have to talk to her thoroughly and get that stone back!” Abram answered.Ariadne shook her head and cried out in offence. “Stop it with all this talking, Abram! I love you but talking won’t work anymore. The only way we can stop mama is by changing her back. She has no emotion inside her or any sense of symphaty and care. We have to bring that back.”They all stare at each other and nodded in agreement. Some of the guards around them stood outside of the clear wdow to make sure no one would sneak in around Sviatoslavich mansion. Moreover, Adam just sat in front of the fireplace while everyone else was having their meeting by their sofa. Ambrose wasn’t present. He was still overwhelmed with so much anger at how Eve had rejected him and almost killed him. No matter how much Ariadne would try and console him, he did not waver from his anger. Someti
When Khalid turns frozen solid, Eve's mind travels to a dreamland. It was an alternative vision from Khalid hopes and dreams of how and what they would've been together. When his tears was frozen with him, the essence of his soul was absorb into her body.In his vision, she sees herself in her former body. Her ivory hair falls free behind her back. She wores a thick white coat around her and in her arms holds a baby with thick ivory curls. The precious child who she has no idea if it were a boy or a girl was pulling her long hair and she smiles seeing her baby cooing at her.She realised that she was standing in the middle of the flower garden in the castle. Flowers surround her like it was her background. Eve's sob was caught in her throat when she see her parents behind her, looking over her with a smile gleaming on their face. When Khalid arrive to the garden gate, he had a wide smile in his face and after greeting the king and queen with upmost respect, h
Smell of wet dogs and howling fills every part of the castles. Reports from the pier was also the same. Every werewolves in Afhrin has turn human with their wolves part separated from them. Chaos fills the land. Adam sat in the meeting chair surrounded by high councils and knights leader from all over Afhrin who was also part wolves. Now everyone in the room is bickering with each other, all with a plan of their own on how to not fight but remain alive under the pending vampires attack.Adam sat, his fingers massaging his own forehead with his sons next to him, Ariadne and his brother with Kristopher. All accompanied by their wolves who even though is not a part of them anymore (physically), they remain loyal and stand beside him.Ariadne is having a hard time controlling her chuckled seeing Ambrose wolf has the same grim, nnoyed expression on its face like Ambrose. They were one and the same just like her wolves who is glued to Abram's wolf. Purring her heart out
Using behind the vampire fort wasn't easy especially bringing their wolves with them. Abram made sure Ariadne stayed behind him all the time with Adam behind her. Their wolves crawl on the ground gently with Abram's wolf guarding Ariadne's wolf diligently. Everyone wore a plain black cloth gotten from the castle maid that hasn't been worn to avoid any wolf like smell sticking to it since vampires have great sense of smell. Their wolves made sure to roll their body on sands to cover their smell. Poor Ariadne's wolf hated the dirt and the only thing that differ her and Ariadne was how much of a diva she was.
Six months passed It took months to rebuild Dzhimara. The number of death recorded was devastating but the number of enemies they have taken down was more. The seal around the gate was built up once more and the teamwork among the forest witch ensured the gate will remain strong for years to come. Homes were rebuilding from scratch but as the new king of Dzhimara, Abram made sure that all his citizens, even the humans, and the witches are fully helped. They are his responsibilities now. Thinking back to the war before, he had lost so much, his patriarch and his mate too lost their dear ones. Everyone thought that in time, they would heal but till today, the pain of losing his father remains strong. His mother no longer resides in the dungeon. For her crimes against the former nation of Zhateria, she was banished to the forest of Afhrin. Many had questioned whether allowing her to keep her wolf was a wise idea but seeing her mother's state, finding out she too has
Adam crawls towards Eve with his remaining strength. After closing Mikael's eyes, he roared as much as his breath could. He mourned for the death of the man who once cared for him as a child. It may be an act, may be a lie but it didn't feel like it. He made Adam hated him but he understands that a part of his hate is justified. Adam had taken the woman he loves. It wasn't on purpose but what's done is done. "Sleep well brother. I wish things were different. I hated you for what you have done but you will always be my brother. I just hope you felt the same." After laying a kiss on his forehead, he quickly with little energy he has, crawled towards Eve.
The memories fade and it became faster this time. Scenes after scenes takes over showing her Mikael real self who slowly deteriorates from the innocent boy he was to a wrecked man. The time he had hid when she met Adam at the meadow as a child, her marrying Adam with his eyes looking aback, brimming with tears and bloodied hands after digging his nails deeper into his palm from clutching his hand too hard.His raw emotion exploding in his room the night Adam and Eve spend their time as husband and wife. All his things, beds, tables, cloth was ripped and destroyed. He seated at the corner of the room, crying his hearts out and slamming the floor beside him.
When she turns, she saw a woman, crying on the ground with her face swollen and full of bruises. Blood drips down her chin and in front of her was a soldier, covered with iron armour. He held a bottle of alcohol since his face was red and oily. He was a handsome man and the lady herself was beautiful. The house they were in was made from grey bricks, something that people in the olden times would stayed in.The house itself was decorated with finest of things, finely sculpted furniture, huge fireplace, hearty meals on the table all dressed in red and gold which means this home belongs to someone who is close to Dzhimara's royal family. After the man finish cursing at the beaut
Adam's wound made him slower than he should which gave Mikael an advantage but Adam training make sure that he is able to avoid any thrust from Mikael's sword. Fast reflect from Adam's hand causes his sword to cut Mikael's arm deeply. Mikael hissed but his gaze remains at Adam.When Mikael stands behind Adam in a flash, he swung the tip of his sword and ug deeply into the wounds from earlier on. Blood pouring with painful groan escaping his lips. Adam turn and slam the back of his sword in Mikael's abdomen.Seeing he was distracted from his pain, Adam swiped his feet below him causing Mikael to fall. His swords were knocked off from his hand. Adam grinned."You may be a great talker, Mikael but you suck at fighting. Told you not to skip practise." An advice he once given Mikael growing up. Adam was about to bury his sword in his chest when he hears Eve soft moan calling out to him. He turn to see Eve completely awake and standing up weakly. His distraction almost risk him his life se
Healing Adam's wound took longer than expected. News of war in Dzhimara reach to them and from the amount of death enquired, Abram was devastated. Though wolves was able to defeat them at first, the amount of vampires and dark creatures from the forest like Gollum, Orcs and demons that had joined the war to gain control of Dzhimara including humans life alike made it hard for them to defend their fortress. After Adam was healed, he sat up still cringing with the sensation of the pain pounding intensely with every movement. The forest warlock sat beside him, breathing hard after putting so much magic and power to heal the wolf king."I have to save her. I need to go." Adam gritted. He was bare from waist up after his shirt was soaked with his blood. Abram tried to push him to stay but even in his weak state Adam was stronger than his son. "You are weak, father. You don't even know where they are. You have to take care of yourself.""He is right. My magic heals you now but like a medic
Laying Eve at the grass, Mikael couldn't help but push her hair behind her ear, touching her warm skin and gazing at her. It took hundreds of years for him to find her again and it blow his mind seeing her remain the same. The same smooth skin, the long silky ivory hair, red lips as thick lashed above her pixie nose. She was perfection.He knelt down beside her. It will take at least half a day before Eve would know where they were. Back where it all begin. Observing every featured on her petite body, Mikael smiled, making sure everything little detail about her is imprinted in his mind. She remains flawless as she was when he first saw her when they were a childHis eyes glare at her. He frowned and his grip on the ground beneath him tightens. He stands up straight again and anger twisting his handsome face. He was furious at how things have gone in his life. Everything he ever wanted, everything he ever need was taken from him. All falls into the hand of his step
A rough shook of his body awakes him and his eyes abruptly open in shock. He sits quickly, inhaling all the air his lung was robbed off and he started heaving and coughing. Abram's hand rub his back and he gently whisper to him to calm down. Adam mind was blank for a second but memories from Eve's heart flooded his every being making him s rambled to his feet and searching for Eve. Though she only just lay next to him, Brahms was panting excessively. He knelt down beside Eve and start pulling her unconscious body near him. He hears people around him calling out to him but he ignored them and hug Eve tightly to his chest. Her head rested beneath his chin and her face closed over his chest. He caress her hair and rock her body gently with his.He hears gasping from the voice around him and he look down to see Eve's jet black hair turning ivory from its root. Her pale skin blushed and more life is added to her body. No more dark vibes basking from her small form. Only warmt
King Aidan wore a gentle smile while offering a white floral cup of tea to Adam. Adam nodded while taking the glass, his hand shivers and he drank the tea with his fingers trembling holding the handle."I am fine, your highness. " He didn't know how to ask him whether the king was fine too. He was dead after all. Would it be rude? Then a thought got to him so he turn to look into King Aidan's eye, feeling even more determine."This is Eve's heart. It's where she 'rest' when she is in pain. I'm sorry but both of you..uh..is it just my imagination or hers?"Queen Aaliyah chuckled and she brush her husband's hand. She kissed his cheek before leaving him alone. Adam stood as a sign of respect but Aidan shook his head and Adam see the fair queen looking a whole lot of Eve walk away, heading to the front door. He is now alone with King Aidan."What do you think, Adam? Are we just your imagination or Eve's? The goddess creation is a very interesting sight to behold.
