THE STING OF THE VAMPIRE'S BITE EPISODE 75
RALPH The immigration officer, a woman with brown eyes that held a piercing stare, didn’t say anything at first. She just looked at our passports for a long moment, flipping through the pages. The air around me felt thick, and I could almost hear the ticking of my pulse in my ears.“Purpose of your visit?” she asked sharply, her gaze still fixed on Dahlia’s passport.“Tourism,” Dahlia answered smoothly, her voice steady. “We’re here to see the Rwenzori Mountains.”The officer didn’t respond immediately. She looked at Dahlia for a moment longer before flipping through her documents, her fingers brushing against the pages slowly. Then she glanced up. “And how long do you intend to stay in Uganda?”Dahlia didn’t hesitate. “Two weeks.”The officer raised an eyebrow, scrutinizing her. “Two weeks. And where will you be staying?”“Fort Portal,” Dahlia replied, without missing a beat. “We’ll be staying at a lodge near the mountains.”The officer continued to flip through the pages of Dahlia’

Keilah's POVI was sprinting through a dark forest, my legs burning with every step, begging me to stop. My chest heaved painfully, each breath sharp and ragged, but I couldn’t stop—not with the terrifying noise echoing from behind. I didn’t know what I was running from, only that something—or someone—was chasing me.The trees thickened, the shadows deepened, and before I knew it, I found myself trapped in a narrow, dark room. The walls were painted in a dark, unsettling red paint. When I reached out and touched the surface, the paint oozed into warm blood and started trickling down the walls and then pooled at my feet. A scream tore from my throat as panic surged through me. I jolted awake gasping, sitting upright so fast I nearly collided with the twins’ heads hovering nearby. Squinting against the harsh sunlight flooding the room, I groaned and stumbled to the window, pulling the curtain back to shut out the merciless light.Just as I closed the curtains and flopped back onto the

KEILAH “Cora, listen to me,” I said softly, placing a hand on her arm. “We’ll talk about this when I get back from Auntie’s memorial, okay? Right now, I need to be there. You know how important today is.”Cora nodded, her expression softening. "Alright. We’ll talk when you get back."She stepped aside and opened the door, giving me space to leave. I hesitated for a brief moment, glancing back at her one last time before walking past her and into the living room, where the twins were waiting eagerly.I bent down with a smile as both of them planted a kiss on each of my cheek. "Tell Grandma we said hi!" Avery said cheerfully."Yeah, and that we miss her!" Zoe added, her little face bright with sincerity.Cora chimed in from behind. "And please tell her that we love her. Tell her to forgive me that I couldn’t visit her this time."I nodded at them, smiling despite the heaviness in my heart. "Of course. I’ll make sure she knows."I slipped into my boots, tightened the laces, and headed o

KEILAH I stared at the mark on my neck, disbelief gripping me. My reflection wavered in the dim lighting of the bathroom, but the mark was unmistakable. Damien’s mark—had reappeared after all these years, as though it had never faded in the first place. My heart pounded so hard it felt like it would break through my ribcage.This couldn’t be happening. My fingers hovered over the mark, not quite daring to touch it, afraid that somehow, it might respond, or worse, grow stronger. Memories of Damien flooded my mind—his piercing eyes, the way his presence had always both frightened and fascinated me. I had thought those days were over. But the reappearance of his mark could only mean one thing.He was back.But why? And how?Panic surged through me as I stumbled back from the mirror, pressing my back against the cold bathroom wall. My breath came in shallow, uneven gasps, and my thoughts spiralled wildly. Was this a warning? A threat? What did Damien want? No—I had left that world behi

KEILAH The driver called out again, his voice more urgent this time. "Get back in the taxi, miss. This place isn't safe at this hour."I wiped the remaining tears from my cheeks and nodded, still feeling shaky, but I obliged, climbing back into the taxi. My body felt drained, like a puppet whose strings had been cut. “Take me to my address,” I mumbled, barely loud enough for him to hear.He glanced at me through the rearview mirror, frowning. “Are you sure you’re alright? You don’t look it. I’m guessing you ran off from that hospital without being discharged.”“I’m fine now,” I lied, trying to sound more convincing than I felt. My throat was raw, my mind racing in a thousand directions. I needed to be anywhere but there—away from the hospital, away from whatever was happening to me.The driver hesitated for a moment, still unconvinced, but finally sighed and turned the car around, heading toward my home. By the time we arrived, dawn was just starting to break, soft light creeping ov

KEILAH The man straightened, towering over the others around him, his movements deliberate, slow, like a predator sizing up his prey. His glowing eyes locked onto mine, and a deep growl rumbled from his throat, echoing off the alley walls. The others—seven, or even more of them—turned to face me as well, their gazes as cold and merciless as his.Panic seized my chest, but I didn’t back down. My legs felt like lead, trembling, but I stayed rooted to the spot. The stone had barely fazed him, only seemed to amuse the others. One of them—a tall man with a scar running down the side of his face—stepped forward, his lips curling into a sinister grin."You've got some nerve," he said, his voice low and dangerous. "Throwing rocks at us? Little girl like you should know better."I clenched my fists, trying to keep the fear from swallowing me whole. My heart pounded so loudly I was sure they could hear it. But I wasn’t here to run. I was here for answers. So bring it on.The man's grin widened

KEILAH The thug grinned at the two other men in the room, and with a nod, they closed in on either side of him, sharing the same vile smirk. The air in the room grew thick with menace as they followed his lead. Then he turned his gaze back to me, his hand already tugging at his belt, slipping it from the loops of his pants with a menacing swish and a new wave of panic crashed into me. I knew exactly what that bastard was up to."Yes," he said, his voice low and malicious, "exactly what you're thinking. Why don't me and my boys have a little fun before you get the proper beating you wanted?”My mind screamed at me to move, to get up and fight back, but my body betrayed me. My legs were numb, heavy with pain, and I couldn’t summon the strength to stand. I tried to push myself up, but I collapsed back onto the cold floor, my entire body aching from the earlier beating.He unzipped his pants as he walked over to me, kneeling down to force my legs apart. I clenched my teeth, trying to use

KEILAH I took a shaky breath, still trying to make sense of everything. "How am I supposed to believe you?" I asked, my voice hard, though uncertainty was creeping in. "For all I know, you’re just making this up. I don’t even know who this council witch is. For the time I spent with Ralph, I've never seen her before. And you're not even from the Moonrise Pack to know anything about the council. Why should I trust a word you say?"Damien’s eyes flickered with impatience, and before I could go on, he cut me off. “I’m not here to make you believe me, Keilah," he said, his voice sharp and controlled. "I don’t care if you do or not. Just stay out of trouble because this is the last time I’ll ever interfere in your business.”His words hit me like a slap, but I refused to let it show. This was exactly what I wanted, wasn’t it? To never see him again? I forced myself to stay composed, biting back the angry retort I wanted to throw in his face. Instead, I straightened up."Exactly what I wa

RALPH The moment we stepped onto the plane, I felt the weight of exhaustion settles deep into my bones. We had been running on pure adrenaline for hours, but now, with nothing to do but sit through the long flight, fatigue hit me like a freight train.I slid into my seat, adjusting my position until I was comfortable enough. Dahlia took the seat next to me, scrolling through her phone with a look of deep concentration. Across the aisle, Damien leaned back, his eyes closed, arms crossed over his chest. He was pretending to sleep, but I knew better. His mind was working through a thousand scenarios, trying to figure out the next move. And next to him was Jay.As the plane taxied down the runway, I turned to Dahlia. "So, any updates on this whole government crackdown thing? Are we walking into a trap the moment we land?"She sighed. "Not exactly a trap, but Uganda has been tightening its security on foreigners. There's been a lot of strict screenings lately. If we don’t have all our pap

KEILAH The old woman didn’t flinch at Aaron’s warning. Instead, her sharp eyes studied me, her expression unreadable. The people around her murmured in hushed voices, their gazes shifting between Aaron and me as if we were pieces of a puzzle they couldn’t quite fit together.Garbie moved closer, her arm brushing against mine. “Keilah,” she whispered, “I don’t like this.”Neither did I.The old woman took a step forward, her long robes whispering against the ground. A faint golden mist trailed her movements as if the air itself bent to her will. “Step aside, Aaron,” she said calmly, but there was an unshakable authority in her tone. “The girl is ours.”I turned sharply to Aaron, confusion tightening my chest. “What is she talking about?” I demanded. “What does she mean I’m theirs?”Aaron didn’t answer me. He ignored me completely and stepped forward, his eyes locked onto the old woman. “Enough of this, Elira,” he said, his voice dangerously smooth. “She’s mine. I found her first, and

DAMIEN Ralph let out a frustrated growl. "Africa? Are you serious?"Sylra gave him a pointed look. "Do I look like I'm joking?"Dahlia sighed, rubbing her forehead. "Okay, fine. Where exactly in Africa?"Sylra hesitated for a moment before answering. "Uganda.Ralph let out a scoff. “Great, I’ve never even heard of Uganda before.”Sylra rolled her eyes. “Not my problem. But if you want your girlfriend back, you better figure it out fast.” There's an elder there, a powerful fae who might be able to help you."I exhaled sharply, running a hand through my hair. "Might?"She shrugged. "Depends on his mood."Ralph cursed under his breath. "Great. So we have to fly across the world to beg some moody fae elder for help?""Pretty much," Sylra said flatly.I glanced at Seth, who had been quiet the entire time. He met my gaze and gave a small nod. We didn’t have a choice."Fine," I said. "Give us his name and where to find him."Sylra stepped back into her house, leaving us standing there. A f

DAMIEN I parked the car at the side of the road, the wheels crunching over gravel as I threw it into park. I turned to Seth, keeping my voice steady but firm. "Stay in the car. I’ll be right back."Seth didn’t say anything, just nodded as I got out of the car. I walked to the backseat, opened the door, and carefully lifted Marina into my arms. Her body was cold, unnervingly still.As I moved towards the woods, I noticed Ralph getting out of his car right behind mine. He didn’t say anything, just leaned against the side of his car, his arms crossed. He wasn’t trying to make this more complicated than it already was.James met me halfway as I carried Marina, walking quietly beside me, his eyes scanning the forest. We made our way towards the boundary where the barrier that separated the woods from Greenery Village stood visible, a shimmering line of magic hanging in the air. It felt like stepping into another world, one that was both calming and dangerous at the same time.When we reac

DAMIEN I clenched my fists so tightly that my nails cut into my palms, drawing blood. The scent of it filled the air, but I ignored it. The urge to destroy something—anything—coursed through me, but I forced myself to stay still. Losing control would get me nothing. Seth spun me around by my shoulder with a rough jerk, forcing me to face him. A guttural growl rumbled in his throat, his eyes burning with fury. "Where is Garbie? Did she go with the human?" His voice was sharp, laced with accusation and barely contained rage. A snarl erupted from Ralph before I could even respond. "She fucking has a name," he snapped, stepping toward Seth, his wolf flickering beneath his skin. Seth didn’t even glance at him. His glare stayed fixed on me as he spat, "To fucking hell I care about that." His chest heaved with frustration as he ran a hand through his hair before stabbing a finger in my direction. "I never liked that little thing from the first time you brought her here, and now look—she

KEILAH A deep, bone-chilling growl rumbled through the air, cutting through the steady downpour. My breath hitched. The creatures didn’t move, but I could feel their presence pressing in, watching.“How do we stop the rain?” I whispered, my voice barely audible over the storm.Garbie let out a frustrated sigh. “If I knew, we wouldn’t still be here!”I clenched my fists. My soaked clothes clung to me, making the cold settle deeper into my skin. I could barely tell where my trembling ended and the shivers from the cold began.I tilted my head slightly, careful to keep my eyes shut. “What if… what if we change the way we feel about it?”“What?” Garbie asked, confused.“The rain,” I said quickly. “What if it feeds off fear? I mean, think about it—when it started, we panicked. What if that’s what made it stronger?”Garbie went quiet again, then, after a moment, said, “That’s ridiculous… but I have no better idea, so let’s try it.”Before I could concentrate my mind, a strange, hollow soun

KEILAH The world spun violently around me as I tumbled down the rocky hill, my body rolling uncontrollably over jagged stones and patches of rough dirt. Pain shot through me with every impact, but I couldn’t stop. I had no control over my descent, and the speed at which I was falling only increased with every passing second.Above me, I could hear Garbie’s frantic voice, shouting something I couldn’t make out. My head slammed against the ground, sending a sharp, dizzying pain through my skull. I gasped, my arms flailing, trying to find something—anything—to stop my fall. But the hill was too steep, too cruel, and all I could do was brace for the inevitable.Then, suddenly, my body collided with a thick patch of grass, soft compared to the harsh terrain above. The impact still knocked the air from my lungs, but it slowed me enough to let me twist and dig my hands into the dirt. My fingers curled around a thick root, and I clung to it desperately, my chest heaving as I fought to catch

RALPH I watched her, every muscle in my body tense with a mixture of rage and something far darker—something I couldn't name. Her lips, soft and warm against mine, had been a shock to my senses. I could feel the bond snap into place the moment she kissed me, my wolf roared to life. It was everything I needed to reconnect with the beast inside me, but nothing had prepared me for the flood of emotions that came with it.I pulled away, gasping for air, my eyes snapping open to find Keilah still frozen in place, her expression unreadable. I saw it, though—the conflict, the confusion, the pain in her eyes. She wasn’t unaffected. She felt it, too. But her body was betraying her. She hated me. I could see it in every movement, in every cold, calculating glance she sent my way.I swallowed the anger rising in my throat, my chest tightening. “Damn it,” I muttered under my breath, pushing away from her.I needed to control myself. I couldn’t let her see how much it had affected me. My wolf was
