MARCUS P.O.VThe winds were still boisterous and without doubt I knew if I were human the snow hood I was in wouldn't be able to prevent me from the cold.It was still snowing heavily while I ventured into the factory. There was no one there, probably they didn't show up as a result of the forecast that today's weather was going to be intense.I stuck my hands into my side pocket while I forged ahead. My face was forward but my ears were alert; at least sharp enough to filter the noise of the boisterous wind from the chatter of anything that crossed my part.Although there was no sight of any visible threat, I was sure I was not alone, I had company and in fact they were numerous. I have not been attacked, rather I have just ventured into the territory of a rival pack.Strolling all the way forward I picked up my first signal. I was being followed. I knew so well that fighting back wouldn't do me any good because I was at their mercy so I stopped."I know you are out there, I can sens
ALICIA'S P.O.VFirstly, Silas’s mother called me a stinging red wine. From our conversation earlier it was obvious that she was hiding something from me. Even when I mentioned the name Flynn her eyelashes flickered.There was definitely something wrong and I have to find out what it is. After all, I am the daughter of a cop, so I have to handle this myself.I didn't know I would find myself in this position but I had to keep my eyes on Suzy. I had to find out the truth.That morning it was still snowing boisterously and I was in a cab a few meters away from her house. I was waiting for Suzy to leave the house and when she did I instructed the cab driver to follow her vehicle.We followed her from a distance, the ride seemed unending and the road was unfamiliar. I didn't know such a place existed in California. It was lonely and further away from the city.I watched her vehicle stop before a large estate as she stepped out of the car then walked in through the gate.I paid the cabdrive
MARCUS P.O.V"Marcus, Marcus," I heard Alicia’s voice in my head followed by beautiful sounds of her laughter. I was having the most beautiful dream about her before my eyes opened and I realized I was alone in a small room.Still feeling dizzy I hovered my eyes around at the shelves which were on either side then I glanced at my wrist only to realize that I was currently on drip.My head ached when I made attempts to sit up and the ache was backed up with flashbacks of what had happened to me earlier in the oil factory.Struggling, I gently put my feet on the floor. Sitting upright I heard the screeching sound of the door."Marcus, you are awake," Stiles said barging into the room as he approached the bed where I was seated."What is this place?" I asked."It's an animal clinic. You were badly injured and needed urgent treatment so I brought you here,:"An animal clinic?" I lift my gaze to him with a frown on my face."What is wrong with it? Would you have rather prepared that I went
ALICIA'S P.O.V"What would you like to be offered," I asked Marcus as soon as we walked in. Not getting any feedback I turned to him only to meet his constant stare. "Why are you staring at me that way?""What way?" He returned the question to me then flinched, taking his gaze to the television set."You were giving me the look," I answered."What look?""The kind of look you give to someone when you like them,""Well you should know by now that I love you," He said idly while approaching the television set."Hmm… I guess I won't get used to you saying that anytime soon," I replied. I walked to the fridge as I poured in two glasses of pineapple drink. Walking back to the sitting room I found him seated on a sofa chair with the remote control. The television was on and there was a movie currently playing.Staring at me he tapped the vacant space beside him. I chuckled as I sat by his side and handed him a glass of drink. I leaned my head on his shoulder.This is how I like it. His scen
MARCUS P.O.VWhat is she hiding from me? What is so difficult that she won't tell me? I thought to myself. I left her in the house but I had one person in mind, he was the only Vampire who I knew was close to her."Silas," I whispered the name of my suspect with my eyes fixed on the road. It never mattered if the cab driver knew how upset I was or not.Why now, why will he tempt me now that I am close to asking him for a favour? I thought, frowning my face in anger.Some minutes later the cab driver pulled over in a large field. It was the same field where I was seated the night Silas gave me the bracelet. I came out of the taxi and after paying for the ride I looked ahead and from the distance I spotted him seated on a bench with his gaze at some youths who were playing football."Silas!" I exclaimed while approaching as he turned to me. "Didn't I warn you never to come close to hear again," I said, throwing a punch to his face.The strength of my fist bowed him down and in a split s
MARCUS P.O.V"I also think my parents could be right, especially considering the great disappearance of citizens in the city," Silas said. "However, is that all you wanted to ask me?""Not really. I want to know what your parents said is the easiest way to kill a vampire?" I heard her question him. This was the problem with ignorance, seeing how easily and quick she was to trust him felt like an arrow poked through my heart.She was asking a vampire how to kill his kind. Living ignorantly in a mysterious world was going to get her killed. Maybe she was right when she asked me to turn her into a werewolf, in that way her life will be less at risk.I watched Silas lean his elbow on the table with his eyes fixed on her. "Why do you want to know that?" He asked."I'll explain it to you later on but I need you to tell me if your parents said anything," She answered.Silas stared at her a little longer then sat upright again. "Alicia… Thinking something like that is absurd. Vampires are not
ALICIA'S P.O.VI couldn't believe it. How can I have been this insensitive? I yelled in my head as I cuddled myself by the edge of an empty room. My eyes were on Silas who was trying to keep me calm but that was insane. He was a monster, I had been asking a monster how to kill his kind."Alicia you have to listen to me,""No! Stay away from me!" I yelled at him. There was a little item by my side so when he took another step closer I threw it at him."Help, somebody, help me," I screamed. I should have known better. Marcus was right, I was not ready to face the world of the supernatural all by myself. The world is too big and mortals are often blinded by many things."Alicia, I know you are shocked but I promise not to hurt you,"I furrowed my face immediately after his statement. I couldn't process those words, they sounded real but in reality they were just fables. I can clearly recall that vampires are nothing like werewolves; they feed on human blood. How different is Silas from t
MARCUS P.O.VI could hear the screech of brakes, then the horrible smash of cars colliding. It came so sudden that a wild cold ran through my body. I knew an accident had taken place and I knew the victim was the man who came to my rescue.One problem was dealing with being helpless but even worse was a condition where I'll have to deal with two helpless persons.My vision was failing because of the amount of blood I had already lost. All I could see was the blurry light from the vehicle. I heard a disturbing sound and from that moment I couldn't tell what happened next until I finally blanked out.The next time my eyes opened the first thing I saw was a dazzling white bulb. I could feel my back on a thick mattress. Still In distress I turned my face sideways, observing the room I realized I was in my lodge in the hotel.I furrowed my face in confusion then forced myself up, sitting upright. I examined my wounds only to realize they were already treated.My state was confusing because
