***EVELYN***I walked out of the bedroom with a towel wrapped around my body. As soon as I finished drying my hair I walked to my closet and picked out a dress. It was another day here without any lead or clue about where I could find the MoonGem. I was beginning to think I was wasting my time being here.If Damain could keep the most simple things secretly locked away in a hidden safe, then I don't even want to image where that unhinged brain of his thought to hide the MoonGem. He seemed pretty cool about me snooping around, maybe I should ask him about the MoonGem. I didn't know if he trusted me enough and I didn't want to raise any suspicion. I wondered where he was then I remembered he mentioned yesterday that they had a gala to attend. I didn't see him throughout the day. I shook the thought out of my mind as I thought about finding out if there was any secret storage room or something I could find in the mansion. I walked out of my room and looked left and right to decide w
***DAMIAN***The car stopped directly in front of the red carpet and I climbed down. I and Steve climbed down while the driver, Blake drove the car away. I looked sideways as I saw press officials trying to get to us from both sides of the red carpet. "Mr. Wolve, can you please tell us what this project is all about?" A reporter asked as I walked down the red carpet towards the building of the Duchester Hall where the gala was being held."Why do you think Nexus Consolidated was picked to collaborate with Hastings Industries out of all the other major companies that were competing for it?" "Do you think this project is beneficial to the public?" I looked at all of them throwing multiple questions at and Steve tried to stop them from bugging me on both sides."You'll get all your answers in the gala. It'll be broadcasted live," I heard someone answer behind me and I looked over my shoulder to see that it was Xavier walking down the red carpet with his entourage of guards."Mr. Wolv
***DAMIAN**I looked around and saw that everyone else was also confused, while Javier was simply grinning. I stared at him and looked up at the podium again. What did he do? "As I said before, I love and cherish my family so much, which is why it pains me so badly that I have to do this," Carson said and all of a sudden, he reached into the inner pocket of his suit and brought something out. It was a fucking knife! Everyone gasped and began to murmur. I stood up immediately and I watched as Carson suddenly slit his throat.Everyone screamed in horrow as blood flowed out of Carson's slit throat and he slowly fell to the ground. I watched as some guards quickly ran to the stage as if they wanted to help him, but all of a sudden, they pulled out guns from their pockets and held it to their heads. What the heck was happening??? I glanced at Javier again and he was looking at them with a wide smile on his face. Everyone was screaming and panicking. They all stood up on their feet a
***EVELYN***I glanced at the tray on the stool and sighed. I was hungry, but that was exactly what I needed. If I don't have any real food, my Vampire side would rely on the blood I drank to keep me strong, and that way, it'll be out of my system faster. I stood up as I thought about finding the kitchen here and returning it. I picked up the tray, but just as I was about to walk out, I changed my mind. I stopped walking and I slowly turned around, staring at my bed as I remembered the prisoner I met yesterday. Bastien.I glanced at my bed, contemplating on if I should do what was on my mind or not. I could get in trouble if anyone finds out that I've been secretly going to the dungeon and talking to a prisoner. He definitely did something terrible to be tied up in that way. There was nothing else I could do right now and that man was making me feel this strange curiosity. I walked to my bed and bent down, grabbing the bed and pulling it away from the trap door. I sighed and I
***EVELYN***Someone was knocking on the door. It could be Damian and he could have a spare key or force it open. "I have to go," I said and I quickly grabbed the tray before running back to the stairs. I pushed the brick and the walls closed back up. I quickly ran up the stairs and I dropped the tray on the bed. I bent down and closed up the trap door.The person knocked on the door the second time and I hurriedly pushed the bed back to its original place. "Coming," I said as I stood up and I ran to the door. I opened the door and just as I had thought, it was Damian.I looked at his hands and I saw him holding a box of Moonshine. I mentioned that I was running out of them already, but I didn't think he would help me get them. I smiled and I opened the door, stepping aside so he could come in. He walked in and he dropped the box on my bed. "Thank you so much," I smiled, but his face didn't even move a bit. He was obviously pissed off about something. What was the deal with him?
***DAMIAN***FLASHBACK I spun across the room as I let go of my dance partner and I grabbed Kiara. She held on to me tightly as she almost lost her balance and she smiled. "Seriously, you didn't have to come here with me," she said for the hundredth time today. "That psycho ex of yours is still out there, it's dangerous for you to be outside the pack," I said and spun her around, catching her. "You're just so stubborn and Dad always indulges you so the least I can do is be here to watch over you," I added and she rolled her eyes. "You didn't have to bring along a whole squad with you though," she said, referring to the men I brought along from the pack, waiting outside in the car. It was a ball night at her school and she wanted to be here. It was a school for supernatural kids and everyone here was either a Werewolf, a Mage, or a Vampire."Maxim is currently at the hospital fighting for his life cause he tried protecting you from that psycho," I replied and started moving a bit
***EVELYN***"Son of a bitch" I muttered to myself and stood up, trying to open the door, but it was locked. I hit my palm on the door, gritting my teeth in anger. I stopped hitting the door and I rested my back on the door. What have I done? I should never have spoken to Bastien not to talk of even feeding him or pulling the arrows out of his heart.This is all my fault. I helped a prisoner Escape. I was just thinking about how I could get Damian to trust me and tell me about the MoonGem, but now, he would never trust me.I have to fix this. I have to find a way to fix my mistake. The door was locked so how do I get out of here?I looked down as I had an idea. A stood up from the bed and I bent down pulling the bed away from the trapdoor. I open the trapdoor and climbed down the stairs. As I got to the foot of the stairs, I pushed the brick and the walls divided. I walked into the dungeon and stopped as I reached where Bastien had been tied up before. I saw the chains that had b
***DAMIAN***I never thought that I would have to confront Bastien again! I thought that I would have him locked up and suffer for the rest of his life! He was responsible for the death of the two most important women in my life. I was furious and I was holding myself from going crazy. It was all Evelyn's fault and I was trying to be calm with her because I was afraid I'd overreact. "There." Evelyn pointed at a house on the left side of the road. Why would he be hiding around in a house? Why not head straight for the border and find a way to leave?? I glanced at Lorenzo and he shrugged before walking past me towards the house. I followed him to the house and as we got close, I began to pick up the smell of Vampire blood. "You are right." "I can smell his vampire blood," I confirmed. Bastien was a True Vampire, a Vampire born by two Vampire parents. It was almost impossible for Vampires to procreate but when two Vampires do, the result is a powerful Vampire who is excessively stro
