Extremely lost in deep thought, Drucilla couldn't believe what was happening. She covered her mouth with both hands as she kept trembling beside Alpha Gavin. Her emotions have really gone through so many different levels of excitement since she stepped into the alpha's chambers this morning. She was initially flustered, was extremely scared, became shocked, then undisguised embarrassment engulfed her entire being finally. However, looking at the situation before her, she feels raw dread like nothing she has ever felt before. She couldn't help the tremor that consumed her body, as nothing could ever wipe the scene out of her mind. The trauma could never be forgotten. "Alpha… please… don't… you can't get any closer… it would be detrimental to your health… you don't know what this is…. I mean… You'll get hurt" Drucilla continues to mumble various words of caution, as well as moving backward step by step. She was so terrified that she didn't notice she had said more than enough. She had
"Come on… I hear it's going to be fun… I really wish to go… but I can't go alone… mmm!" Minnie kept pestering Lolita to go to the medical school freshers' welcome party with her. This party has been a long way coming. She didn't feel like going there alone, at least, not without her good friend, which would make her completely left out and unable to fit in. What would Lolita be doing alone at home anyway?The only person Kurah wants to go with is Lolita Clint, and she wouldn't want to have it any other way. Kurah noticed how Lolita was always brooding and kept to herself, without smiling much. She noticed that Lolita had a deep feeling of loss in her heart, however, she felt the need to help her through it, so that she could genuinely smile once again. She felt so attached to her young friend that she had a feeling she needed to make her happy at all costs. Weird, right?"So... let's pick something for you to wear… okay" Kurah immediately began scrambling for something presentable fo
"The Alpha grabbed me towards his side and…" Drucilla began her story, but before she could even complete a single sentence, Kurah had already interrupted her. "Get straight to the point… Are you telling me my brother molested you?""No… no… no.. I wouldn't dare make such accusations… Miss… I know the alpha would never do that... please listen to me… I didn't say that!" Drucilla said in sheer panic, as she tried to clear the air. She then hears Kurah beckoning her to continue, and she spared no time in doing so. "He requested that I walk him to the dungeon… He had his hands on my shoulder and we walked all the way to the dungeon… and there it was… Miss… a man… I couldn't tell whether he was dead… or alive… Miss Kurah… after spotting him… the alpha seemed so angry that… he wouldn't listen to anything I said… but he was extremely pissed to see the man that way" Drucilla continued her speech until Kurah felt extremely stupid for being all worked up earlier, all for nothing. However, wh
"So let's eat… go shopping… and go to the partyyyyy!" Kurah says while dragging Lolita to the dining room downstairs. The girl was so comfortable around Lolita that one may be misled to think that they've known each other for a long time, or that she's even Lolita's younger sister. "Mmhhm!... Lolly… this shrimp tastes so good… my brother would have loved to taste this… well.. It's his loss!" Kurah suddenly had a fleeting thought about her brother coming around once he heard of her absence from home. "Maybe he'll get to taste this soon enough!" Kurah mouths under her breath. Lolita was rendered speechless by the shamelessness of her friend. She couldn't help asking in jest, "you haven't even moved in yet… and you are already adding more mouths to be fed… tell me… need I reconsider your application!?" Kurah was momentarily confused, then she burst out in brief laughter, "Point of correction... Lolly dearest…I didn't apply for anything… I only informed you" She then swallows her food g
"Sit!" Alpha Gavin commanded. Drucilla reluctantly sat on a nearby seat and was just about to catch a breath when the alpha demanded once more, "Tell me everything you know… leaving nothing out" Drucilla couldn't believe what she was hearing. Minnie had repeatedly assured her that she was in no kind of trouble, but the alpha is now demanding an explanation. What would she even say to him without getting into trouble? She looked toward Alpha Gavin in a state of panic, with clear confusion plastered across her face. Seeing the disguised emotion in her eyes, Wesley quickly spoke to save the poor girl. "Cilla… you need to tell us about the guy in the dungeon… How do you know him?"Alpha Gavin and Beta Orsin both turned to look at Wesley as if he had just developed another head. The guy just called Drucilla by a pet name as if they were really close, or even extremely close. Wesley realized what he said and couldn't help wondering why he just spoke that way. It came so naturally and was t
Rubeetha was momentarily shocked by Kurah's outburst, and the same could be said about Professor Mason beside her. The professor couldn't get what was making the young lady so worked up, but remembering the person in question, he could understand why the young lady reacted that way. Lolita Clint has been a firecracker since he got to know her, and being ill wouldn't make her any less guarded around people. He could also understand why Kurah would be so worked up about someone else touching her friend, Lolita. Besides, she doesn't even know who Rubeetha is. However, Rubeetha was so pissed off that Kurah could clearly tell the lady was angry, even Professor Mason was surprised about her exaggerated reaction. Rubeetha was so close to touching Lolita's wrist. She was only three steps away from grabbing her and confirming her conjecture. Yes, Lolita doesn't look it, she couldn't be the one, which is what she kept reminding herself every day. However, she couldn't be too careless. Theref
The RealmThe Realm is made up of various races, beings, and creatures. There are vampires, werewolves, elves, merefolks, humans, magicians, sorcerers, and seemingly extinct dragons, among others. Every race has its territory, ruled by its chosen leaders. Vampires have their own rulers, and so do elves, merefolks, and so on. As a result, moving from one place to the other results in sudden changes in rules, laws, experiences, dangers, and so on. No singular race or person is the supreme ruler of the realm. Due to the five-century-long war that had engulfed The Realm, every territory spells danger to strangers, except one. There was chaos everywhere, but the most amazing of all is that no one could even point at what caused the war, or exactly when it began. Wandering away from your territory could lead to immediate death without even knowing. Amid all the killing and chaos, there is only one place, one territory, and one group of people who still enjoy abundant peace and prosperity
"Father… how did it go with…" Kuza's worried son began to bombard him with questions as soon as he heard his father's footsteps. However, when he saw his father's condition, he felt a pang in his heart, with so much anger consuming his person. He knew exactly who could hurt his father in this manner without worrying about the consequences. In the whole of the Magic Realm, only the madman, Kuza, also known as Lord of the Magic Realm has what it takes to hurt his father and damn the consequences which would never come. He felt so sorry for his father as he burst out, "Holy goddess…father… What happened this time?"As he declared this, Zerd immediately took hurried steps toward his father and helped him to a seat on the carefully crafted wooden double sitter, after which he shut the door with a simple thought. Urma watched in horror as Zerd moved to unwrap his wounds and start reciting some magic spells. While Zerd was unwrapping his father's wound, he set a barrier around the house to
"Your what?" Lolita screamed in alarm. "He is my brother, Lolita," Kurah responded. Then she watched her friend's expression change from shock to anger, and to many more emotions hidden in her eyes that Kurah didn't dare to probe. She continued in a small voice, "I always spoke to you about him, right? Now you remember him, don't you? Lolita, please help me. Please!" "What the f**k? Alpha Gavin is your brother? He is Kuralis?" Lolita blurted out in anger. She couldn't help asking animatedly, "Is this a joke? Kurah, is this a joke? If it might interest you to know that your dear brother ordered the murder of my grandmother. You can ask his two sidekicks for the details."Lolita was so angry that she wanted Kurah to know she would do nothing to save Gavin, not even if he was her brother. "I'll tell you this, there is nothing I'll do to save your brother. You already know how much I hate him.I gave him a gift once, now I take it back. Sorry, Kurah, but I can't help you." Kurah was to
"Such a sissy" Lolita blurted under her breath. She knew Gavin wasn't weak, but she still couldn't understand how a single shot from her could render the young man so powerless. Then again, she couldn't help thinking, "what just happened?" "How was I able to cast that spell just now? What's going on?" Lolita was confused about how she could cast such a high-class spell, and to top it all off, she did it without any mistakes. The issue is that she had never learned magic, and neither had she ever been in contact with anything magic. So the situation was still strange to her. "What the heck?" Venom blurted in wonder. Lolita could feel his fluctuations but chose to ignore the nuisance. She would deal with Venom later on. "Tsk! I thought he was a real man. Come along if you wish to" Lolita said to no one in particular. When she took her bag and was about to walk out of the place, she suddenly spotted Kurah being supported by a maid. She was walking slowly, a guard in tow. "Mtchew! You
When Lolita saw Gavin for the first time in months, she expected to see something about him that spoke of his guilt or even a dark heart to show he was capable of what he did to her grandmother. However, Lolita found no malice in his heart, no hidden evil, no darkness, not even an iota of guilt for a wrongful act committed. Yet, she couldn't allow her grandmother's killer to go scot-free, just because he had no malice in his heart. Lolita swore to make sure the guilty party pays, and that is exactly what she will do. "You must be enjoying what's going on huh?" Lolita declared as she released another poisoned arrow at Gavin, who dodged it as effortlessly as usual. She expected to see nothing less than a scratch, but even that didn't happen. Gavin still shifted effortlessly from where he was, and she couldn't be more pissed than she already was. She thought it was effortless, but only Gavin knew how focused he had to be, resulting in the use of much inner strength that he couldn't wa
A strong current could suddenly be felt by Gavin, who ducked to the side immediately. He was almost caught off-guard by the poisoned arrow that got embedded in a pillar behind him. Gavin took a brief look at the arrow and cursed under his breath, "fu*k! An intruder in here?" Beta Ortiz looked on in utter dismay, as he tried his best to pinpoint the location of the intruder. He also, just like Gavin, couldn't tell how an intruder could breach the gates and come as far as the Alpha's chamber without being caught. Gavin tried to locate the intruder, but a familiar scent wafted into his nostrils. He disregarded it and chastised himself for smelling something that was only in his mind. What a time to zone off, he thought. After a brief moment of being in deep thought, he felt another arrow aiming for his chest. He still ducked away and saw this arrow embedded in the brick wall just where he was standing. He couldn't imagine how someone could be so bold and skilled at the same time. Gav
"Venom, why are you against burning down this city? Are you for real? What are you hiding from me? Talk to me, damn it." Lolita did everything possible to get venom to speak up, but there was no response from him. She could only step out frustrated. She knew that Venom knew something she didn't know, but the damn snake wouldn't speak up. She had the sudden urge to step on its head or even strangle it. "How could something so tiny have such a big ego?" Lolita said in a soft voice. Venom wasn't offended, but was rather taken aback. He quickly announced his presence by reminding Lolita, "I'm right here, you know?" Lolita rolled her eyes internally and retorted, "Do I care?" Venom then chose to remain quiet, as Lolita had already cut the mind link she had with him. He could forcefully invade her thoughts, but decided against it. Venom still maintained that Lolita needed to take things easy, as she had to be extremely sure that the people of Dark-Dawn Avenue are as terrible as she thou
"What are you doing here?" Lily asked Lolita aggressively. She was startled to see the little girl walking so freely in the dark kitchen as though she was a creature of the dark. Lolita ignored her, only for her to reiterate, "I'm talking to you, Lolita Clint!" She was angry because Lolita ignored and treated her like she was air. As if there was no one else in the kitchen but her, Lolita reached for her food and made a move to walk out of the kitchen. She was at a crossroads and had to return quickly to check on what the satellite images had to offer. She deftly maneuvered her way around the seething team member and walked back to her room. She kept her aloof expression all through her encounter with the student till she got to her room. As a result, Lily didn't suspect a thing.However, Lolita felt that she had just chanced on a strange occurrence. As she was deep in thought, the memories of the vampire princess came rushing into her mind, and she quickly made sense of the situat
Wolfsbane's benefits to a werewolf can never be compared to the numerous adverse effects it has on them. It is rather one of their worst nightmares. Rogues usually dilute it to weaken themselves when they realize they may get out of hand and hurt people wantonly. Losing control of oneself would mean that the Dark-Dawn Pack would locate them without any difficulty.Even in that case, the wolfsbane is diluted in water. A small pinch could be diluted with as much as a liter of water. Only a little portion is needed to acquire the necessary result. Meanwhile, when wolfsbane touches a wolf's body, it causes the spot to burn and spread rapidly. Healing from such a burn is extremely slow, even though wolves have regenerative abilities.Wolves in Dark-Dawn Avenue, however, have never needed to use Wolfsbane, as the full moon doesn't have any adverse effect on them. Minnie Kurah Smith was fed a huge amount of wolfsbane that could be diluted in about a thousand liters of water. The situation
"Welcome to Dark-Dawn Avenue! I'll be your guard, your chauffeur, and your call-to guy in case you need anything. What I'm saying is, I'm your only contact in Wolftown where we are headed. Everyone, you can call me Tom." The young wolf dedicated to the group had just been given the chance to take the outsiders around his home country, and he couldn't be any happier. His excitement made him blubber non-stop. Fiona couldn't hold in her displeasure as she blurted out carelessly, "What the heck? Are they trying to make us crazy?" She rolled her eyes afterward and looked elsewhere, as a result, everyone caught onto what she wanted to say, except Tom. To dissuade the tense atmosphere, The Team Leader quickly walked to Tom and offered his hand. "Hello, nice to have you show us around. Please take good care of us!" Everyone on the team rolled their eyes in their heads as they all tried to imagine how Tom was going to take them around peacefully, without saying too many unnecessary things
"Wow! She's so awesome. I just cannot believe my eyes. How are we even supposed to perform if we have such a pro in the group?" "I could watch her all day without getting tired!""Guys, I'm wondering, which did she start practicing from the womb first? Was it archery, shooting, or even martial arts? Seriously, I feel so defeated right now." "Comparison kills indeed. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!" "To think she's only sixteen. I feel like I've wasted my life. What was I even doing all these years?" The students didn't bother to even hush their voices when they were discussing Lolita's performance. No one understood why Master Kai called for them until they witnessed everything.All of them were awed by Lolita's skills, but one person who commented about her archery techniques in a tone filled with envy. She didn't even attempt to hide it. "Do your arrows have eyes or something? Because I don't see any other reason why you should be so good." Lolita ignored the hater and bid goodbye to everyone.
