Vladimir
“Mom, how will I remember when my birthday is?” the little boy asked his mom.
The mom hugged the little boy and kissed his little cheek.“When the clearing of the forest is full of flowers and buzzing with life when the warm light of the June Sun will kiss your sweet face, you will know it is your birthday,” the mother said, looking into the boy's eyes.He had the same eyes like his dad.“But what day, mom?”“The fifteen.”I wake up, covered in sweat, the sheets damped around me. I look at the watch: 5:23 AM. And then I see the date—the day when the nightmare started -the 15th of June, fifteen minutes years ago. Today is my birthday. After what happened, I never celebrate another birthday, not even when Ana br

The Alpha and The Slave XXXVIII. At the border
VladimirI float on a sea of pain for a long time. I don't see or hear anything. Does this mean I am dead? But why does it hurt so much? I thought that being dead meant being free of all pain. So why does my body hurt so much? Wait, do I still have a body?I don't know how long I float like this because I don't see or hear anything. So this is what it means to be dead? To be alone and in constant pain? I close my eyes.“You are not alone,” I finally hear a voice.“Who said that?” I ask.“Open your eyes,” the same voice said.I do that and in front of me is a big silver wolf. And everything around us is black.“Am I dead?” I ask.“Not yet.”“Then where am I?”“At the border between death and life.”“I can see my famil

ElenaI run after Vladimir and yell for him to stop, but he doesn't listen. What the fuck just happened? Everything was going great until I asked him about Karmina, and he freaked up.I finally managed to find him at the lake. He always comes here. I approach him.“Please, Elena,” he says with a strangled voice. He sounds like he is in pain.“I just want to understand, that’s all,” I say. “No matter what happened, we will talk about it.”“You will loath me!” he says with a terrified voice.Did he really kill someone? But whatever the answer is, I know I won't loath him.“I would never loath you,” I say.“Not even when I am guilty of killing an innocent girl?” he asks, his voice full of regret and pain.“You are my mate, no matter what. Tell me what happened.”

ElenaIt is morning when I return with Vladimir to the pack. I can tell he is suffering a lot. And my heart breaks for him. The way he tortures himself…I take him to my room and make him lie in bed. I stay with him until he falls asleep. And I go to the dungeons. To where Max is kept.I enter and look at him. He is covered in bruises and dried blood, with a silver collar around the neck, tied to a wall.“You came to beat me more? No matter how much you beat me, it won't bring him back, ” he says with a big smirk on his face.I straddle a chair and look at him.“Why did you do it? Why did you kill him? Karmina was your sister, right?”His facial expression changes. He is no longer smirking.“Did Vladimir do something to Karmina?” I ask.“Yes!”I see hatred in his eyes.“What did h

Mark Learning that Vladimir was all right was the best news I received in a long time. Over the months, he became a very good friend, and I saw him as a brother. I think of how much Vladimir accomplished since he got here. He is more confident, stronger, can shift, and is the perfect match for Elena. And Elena. I think she is in love. She is even smiling, and I haven’t seen her smiling since… Alec died.“Do you need help in the kitchen?” I hear Rose calling.Crap. I got distracted and almost burned the food. I am making steaks tonight.“Everything all right! No need to worry.”I had to practice a little to make sure I know how to prepare the food. I want everything to be perfect tonight. One more minute and perfect! I arrange the food on plates and take it to the table.“Oh, it looks so good, Mark. Thanks!” Rose says, smiling. Her dimples are so sexy.I want her so ba

VladimirIt is around 10 AM when I say my goodbyes to the pack. Unfortunately, I can’t take Winter with me, so I ask Mark to take care of her.“Thanks for taking care of her,” I say to him.“Don't mention it. Winter is part of the pack now,” he says.I look at Elena, and a lot of emotions are written on her face.“I will be back soon,” I say to her.She nods.“I will be waiting for you,” she says.“Goodbye, Rose. William.”William hugs me and slaps my back hard. I swear this guy has to learn to control his strength.“Train hard and be back soon. I will get bored if you are not here to watch Netflix with me,” William says. “Who will train with me now?” he asks while he eyes Mark.I have to stop myself from laughing hard when Mark looks at William and gr

ElenaI make it safely to Brazil, and a jaguar is waiting for me in the São-Paulo International Airport.“Thanks for coming,” I say.He nods and points to his car, a Land Rover.Alrighty, then. Guess he is not a chatty one. I hop in the car and put the seat belt on.“What's your name?” I ask the jaguar.“Joao.”“I am Elena. Where is Luiz?”Luiz is the tribe leader and the one that is supposed to help me find Cronus's scythe.“He is waiting for you back at the temple.”“Good. You speak English very well,” I say.“I spent ten years studying in Canada.”We travel two days and three nights through the jungle. We have to leave the car behind, take a boat and walk a lot. I am sick of the jungle already. The humidity drives me crazy. I prefer the forest

Vladimir“How is it that I can talk to you?” I ask my wolf.I have never heard of a single case where someone could talk to his inner wolf. We are not two separated entities, we are one, our souls merged as one. Sure, one can feel the wolf inside of him, but nothing more.“Because I am very powerful and ancient,” my wolf says.Could this be?“Are you the First Wolf?” I ask.A burst of strange laughter erupts in my head.“I am not Kaen, the First Wolf. I am his son. My name is Derayu. I was born after the death of my father in the presence of the Goddess. You have been chosen to the other half of my soul.”“Why? I am not strong or special.”“You are not just an ordinary werewolf. You are the one who is destined to kill Mihnea, the liar. I am glad to be your other h

ElenaWhen we get out of the temple, Joao is gone. It doesn’t matter, I will get him another time.It is not the first time I walk in a trap, and I am taken as a prisoner. I already know what I have to do. When we reach the village, I look at everything around me, how many tribe people are, how many warriors, how the huts are distributed, any more slaves, where the Luiz hut is. I see around twenty warriors, about fifteen females with cubs. The females look sad and scared. I get a glimpse of three more slaves, all jaguar females.I am taken to a small hut.“This is where you will be staying until tomorrow. I can hardly wait to make you my wife,” Luiz says. “To make sure you won’t try to escape, two warriors will guard the hut.”The slave makes sure I get in the hut and stay inside. Now all I have to do is wait. I sit down and try to re

The Alpha and The Slave LXVI. Peace
Seven years laterVladimirLife has been peaceful for the last seven years. Being an Alpha is not my thing, but I help Elena with every that I can. The pack is bigger than before.After the death of Mihnea, we tried to make peace between the vampires and us, but it takes a lot of effort. Vlad helps as much as possible, but he still prefers to live alone, even if we invited him to live with us in the pack. A few vampires joined the pack. At first, it created a lot of tension between the pack members, but when a female vampire fell in love with a werewolf and started a family, things got better. Her name is Alice, and the werewolf is Sergei, from the former Silver Pack. They have a lovely young daughter, Alma.Even Ana and Mikael joined the pack. It took time, but Mikael finally convinced Ana to accept him, and they are expecting their first pup.We still have a lot of issues to resolve, but we are on the right track.Elena and I have three pups, Karmina and Alec, our twins, that are si

Elena"You look beautiful," my mom says. "Nervous?""A bit," I say.Ten days passed since Vladimir returned to me. And today is our joining ceremony. We will hold it outside so the entire pack can assist.My father and also Vlad will assist. Kalipso and Maite also said they would be here. Ever since I reunited him with Maite, we let our old differences away.The pack doesn't look at Vlad with trustful eyes, but they tolerated him. We also told the truth about me and my mom, but we kept a secret, for now, the vampire of Vladimir. He isn't bad, just addicted to sex. And I am becoming one too. Having a mate/groom almost always with a hard-on when we are alone makes me feel wanted, needed, loved, beautiful. And I love every second of the attention I get.Vladimir is the only one that knows the real me. For the rest of the world, I am still the cold Elena Țepeș, Alpha Supreme of all Europe."Let's go. I am sure Vladimir is nervous," my dad says.I take my dad's arm and go to my love. To my

ElenaOnce Vladimir is feeling better, we leave the temple behind. When we are in the tunnel, where the cells are, Vladimir stops and looks at me."There is another female here. We have to save her."Vlad is the one that looks for the female that Vladimir says, as we get out. Five minutes later Vlad appears with a small female that has tears in her eyes."Are you the bride of Kalipso?" I ask her.She looks at me with scared eyes."It's OK. I will make sure you are reunited with him," I tell her."Thank you. I am Maite," she says."Elena."After this, we get in the car. I am eager to get back to the pack and have the doctor check up on Vladimir.In the car, I get with Vladimir in the back seat and put my head on his chest, and he wraps a hand around my shoulder. I listen to his heart, and it beats strongly. And I bask in his peach scent."Don't you ever die on me again. No matter what," I whisper to him.Vladimir tightens his grip on me. Slowly I drift to sleep. Everything that happene

What was once green is now crimson red.ElenaI am heartbroken. I hoped this would work."Have patience. It needs time for the change to take place," Nix says to me.But I feel defeated. I want to get in a fetal position and cry until I pass out."I will be going. I will watch with great curiosity to see what will happen to the young wolf. Until we meet again, my knight.""Thank you, my Goddess."And the Goddess Nix disappears.We sit in silence and look at Vladimir. At the first sign of movement, Vlad rushes over to Vladimir and pins him to the altar."Grab him! We have to make sure he never leaves the altar until the change takes place."I grab his legs and pin him, but he trashes and growls. My mom grabs him by his shoulders. As the seconds pass, Vladimir screams and sounds like a person who is in great pain."What's happening to Vladimir?" I ask, scared. "He sounds like he is in great pain.""The transformation is always painful," Vlad says.Transformation? Is he transforming into
The Alpha and The Slave LXII. Ancient blood
When everything seems lost,Remember that ancient blood is the key.ElenaAfter seconds that seemed like years, the door opens, revealing a long chamber. At the end of the chamber, I see the altar. Vlad takes Vladimir from my mom."Here we have to be very careful. Harpies protect the old altar. Never look up, and if a harpy comes to us, never look her in the eyes. She will take it as a fight signal, and trust me, you don't want to fight a harpy. They are tough creatures. No running, we walk normally."We do as Vlad instructed us, and we start walking. We walk with soft steps.I hear the flaps of wings, and a harpy lands next to us."You finally came back," I hear a female voice."After our last time together, I thought I would never see you again. Missed me?" the female voice asks Vlad."Mika, as lovely as always. I see you haven't changed a bit. But I am not here to see you.""Then why are you here? And bringing females in here, after we....""Meet my daughter and granddaughter. As y

At the last hour,The old altar is the answer.Elena"Oh no, sweety," I hear my mom say. "I am sorry we didn't get here on time."I keep rocking Vladimir, and I put my cheek on top of his head. He still smells like peaches."He is my half, my everything. He is the light of my darkness. He is my yang. Even our wolves are a match. I never thought I could love someone so much."I look at my mom."I don't think I can go on without him.""Sh. You have a pup to think about. You are strong. One day you will be reunited with him," my mom says.My heart stops."No! I don't want to wait. I want him back.""There is nothing we can do about it," my mom says."There might be a way to bring him back," I suddenly hear Vlad says.I look straight into his eyes, and they glow red."What way? I will do anything to have him back. Anything!"Vlad looks at me."It is very risky. He might lose his humanity, and I will be forced to kill him. And you will see him die again.""He won't lose his humanity. You d

In the darkest night,Go to the old citadel.Elena"Faster, mom! We are almost out of time!" I say to mom, while I look at my watch, 11:53 PM. Shit!"We will get there in time!"And I see my mom going even faster. Three move minutes and we stop the car. We still have to climb 1480 stairs to get to the old citadel of Poienari.Everyone thinks that the castle of Vlad Țepeș, or Dracula, is Bran, but he had two castles, one in Târgoviștene, and the other in Poienari.I run on the stairs, pushing myself even more than ever. Vlad already told me how to get into the secret tunnel that leads under the ruins."Elena! Wait for us!" my mom yells.But I don't listen. All I care about is to save Vladimir. I touch the scythe to make sure I still have it in my messenger bag. I look at the watch, 11:57 PM. I push myself even harder.When I get to the ruins, I look for the wall that Vlad told me.I push the stones and grab and pull the wall rings Vlad described. Stairs that lead beneath the ruins appe
The Alpha and The Slave LIX. Grandfather
ElenaEarly in the morning, I leave with my mom to go to where my grandfather is living. Mark offers to go with us, but I tell him that the pack needs him.In the car, I touch my belly and think of what the doctor said to me."Because of the pregnancy, your hormones change, making you feel moody all the time."Is that's why I treated Vladimir like trash the last time I spoke to him? If I get to him in time, I will explain and apologize. I feel tears going down my cheek. Lately, I have been crying a lot too. It is because of the little pup. I will gladly cry a thousand tears if I know this will save my mate."We will reach Vladimir in time. I promise. Your grandfather might be the biggest bastard this Earth has seen, but he also promised me help if I ever needed it."I nod absently, my thoughts flying to Vladimir. Please, let me get to him in time! He can't die. We have a pup on the way.I am so deep in my thoughts that I don't even pay attention to the road. My mother is the one that
The Alpha and The Slave LVIII. Mihnea
VladimirI have been awake for some time, waiting to see what the vampire will do. I haven't opened my eyes, but I know that I am chained. I feel a silver collar tight around my neck and chains around my ankles and wrists."I wonder how long you will pretend to be unconscious for? You think I don't know you woke up a while ago?" I hear the vampire ask.There's no use pretending. I open my eyes. I try to focus my gaze, but I am still dizzy. I need an entire minute to see the vampire's face.My heart pounds fast, my mouth goes dry. Anger rips through me."I know your face," I say.The vampire, Mihnea, looks at me with curiosity."But I don't think we met before. I would have remembered," Mihnea says."Fifteen years ago, you kill an innocent girl in a forest, but you let the boy live."Mihnea looks at me, studies me, and laughs."You are the rogue from the forest? You should be grateful I let you live.""Grateful? You destroyed my childhood."He laughs some more."I give a shit about you
