“I can’t leave you. Come with us. If you stay, they will kill you.” Louve told her husband.
Drake held her face between his hands and looked at her sadly.
“They are after me and our child. I can’t risk losing you both because of me.” He told her holding her large swollen stomach.
Tears filled her eyes.
“How am I supposed to live without you?” She asked him, her voice cracking in the end.
“You have to. For the sake of our baby. If I had another way, I would definitely leave with you both but…we both know there isn’t.” He told her and touched her head with his, “I love you, my darling and I love you too, my child.” He touched her stomach.
“And we love you, babe.” She told him with tears now streaming down her face.
He kissed her desperately and for the last time because he started hearing the vampires coming towards them.
He broke the kiss and looked at her with fear.
“Run, my love, Run.” He told her and slowly walked away.
She clenched her teeth as he started to transform into his dragon form. She shape-shifted into her wolf form as well and turned her back on him.
“You will always be my first and last mate!” she told him with a heartbroken tone and ran away.
“As you will be mine.” He said in a low tone.
“There he is! Hurry the she-wolf is getting away!” he heard a vampire say.
He looked at him angrily and grabbed his body tightly in his large hand and bit his head off. He then threw his body and breathed fire on it.
“No one will touch my family as long as I breath!” he said angrily as more vampires started to appear.
“Well then I guess you will have to die. Not that I was going to let you live.” The vampire King told him with an evil smile.
He angrily breathed fire on every vampire in his sight but he had to stop soon feeling weak. He wasn’t a strong dragon because he didn’t have a specific element. He a neutral dragon which made him the most beautiful dragon and that also made his magic weak.
When he stopped breathing fire on them and look to see how much damage he did to them, he was shocked because they were all unharmed.
“Dragon capes. Made with dragon scales. My idea. You like it?” The vampire king mocked him.
“You monsters!” He told him.
“Don’t worry you’ll be joining your kind soon.” The vampire king told him and charged at him.
The other vampires followed their king and charged with him.
He fought them as long as he could but he was unable to fight for long. The vampires had bit him too many times. Their venom was lethal to dragons. He was slowly starting to feel it’s effect.
“Give it up, dragon. You’re no match for us. Make it easy for all of us. We are going to go after your family anyways.” The vampire king told him.
“You have a son of your own! Wouldn’t you protect him if his life was threatened?” Drake asked him.
The vampire king nodded.
“You are a good father but unfortunately that won’t save you. Don’t worry about your daughter. I’ll raise her until she is old enough to be my guinea pig.” He told him.
Drake got angry at his comments. The spiky scales on his back split apart and electricity started flowing through his body. The clouds started turning black and thunder started rolling.
The vampires king looked at him shocked. No dragon has ever controlled the weather. He knew what was coming next.
“FALL BACK!” He yelled at his fellow vampires.
Some overly confident vampire stayed like idiots while others fled.
Drake who had a murderous look on his face roared loudly. Lighting from the clouds stuck towards Drake and then flowed around him electrocuting and vaporising all the vampires on the ground. A few quickly grew their wings and flew into the sky.
Drake fell down losing the strength in his body because of the venom in his body. His eyesight started to blur. In his final moments he saw his wife’s face smiling at him before everything went quiet.

Louve felt her connection with her husband die. Tears started falling down her face uncontrollably as she kept running. She had no idea how long she had been running, but it was already dark. She had to stop because she felt the water break and started to feel contractions. She shifted back to her human form. She was completely naked. She forced herself to walk a little further but the contractions started getting worse and worse. She laid down beneath a tree and breathed deeply. She thought that she would have to give birth here.
She heard footsteps coming her way. She grabbed a stick that was near her to defend herself. She thought that it was a vampire.
A person with in a black cloak approached her.
“Don’t come near me!” Louve told the person loudly.
The person took off the hat to let her see her face. She was a beautiful woman with purple hair and eyes. She looked like she was in her mid-twenties. She didn’t smell like a vampire.
“You... you’re not a vampire.” Louve said lowering the stick.
“No, I’m a witch.” She told her, “My name is Olivia Wilder.”
Louve opened her mouth to speak but a strong contraction stopped her. She grinned her teeth to stop herself from screaming.
“You’re about to give birth.” Olivia said and came towards her. She took off her cloak and wrapped it around Louve’s naked body and said, “My hut is nearby. Come with me, it’s safer there.”
She nodded.
Olivia helped her up and took her to her hut. When they got there, she helped her lay down on her bed. Olivia then looked at her cervix to see how she was doing.
“Don’t start pushing yet. You’re 7 centimetres dilated and you need to be at 10 centimetres to start pushing the baby.” Olivia told her.
Louve nodded and went through another contraction.
Olivia went away and started preparing. She boiled water and sterilized the scissors and clamps. She then placed it near Louve’s body and got a few clean towels. She looked at her cervix it was fully dilated.
“Okay, you’re fully dilated. Now push with every contraction you feel.” Olivia told her.
She did as Olivia instructed her. Olivia kept encouraging her in every 5 minutes so she doesn’t stop pushing.
“One final push!” Olivia told her.
Louve gave her all at her final push with a yell. After a painful hour of pushing, her baby was finally out.
Olivia quickly cut the umbilical cord and clamped it as the baby cried.
“Congratulations, you gave birth to a baby girl.” Olivia told her and started cleaning her up.
When she finished cleaning the baby, she handed her to her mother.
Louve started crying seeing her daughter for the first time.
“She’s so beautiful. If only your father could see you.” Louve said.
“What happened to her father?” Olivia asked looking at her.
“He died protecting us.” She told her.
“I’m sorry for your loss.” Olivia told her, “You’re not done yet. You need to push the placenta out too.”
Louve nodded.
After they were done with the whole delivery process, both the baby and mother fell asleep from the exhaustion.
Olivia used a flotation spell on them and changed the bloody bedsheets quickly and then gently lowered them on the bed.
She then went on and made her portions. A few hours later she heard the baby crying. When she got to the room the cry went away. She saw Louve feeding her child.
She gave a small smile to Olivia who walked towards her.
“How did you know so much about delivering babies?” Louve asked her.
Olivia sat down beside her.
“It’s boring to just make spells and potions all the time. So, I spent some time with the humans and learned a few things.” She replied.
“I don’t have the words to thank you.” Louve told her and looked at her with gratitude.
“Don’t mention it.” Olivia told her, “I made an oath to help the everyone in need when I got my doctor degree.” She grinned and added, “You were lucky that I was coming back from the human world otherwise you would have to give birth in the woods.”
“Thank you so much.” Louve thanked her again.
Olivia shook her head with a smile saying ‘no problem.’
“Why were you in the woods?” Olivia asked out of curiosity.
She slowly told her everything and after she was done, she saw Olivia sigh sadly. An idea came to her mind.
“I need to ask you for one more favour.” Louve told her with a serious expression.
“What is it?” she asked her.
“I want to hid my baby from all the creatures. Vampires, wolves, everyone. I can’t be with her because the vampires are after us. I want you to cast the strongest spell on her that will conceal her true identity and powers and also…help find her a good human family. Can you do that?” she asked her.
Olivia got up and looked at her seriously.
“I know a spell but it will cost you some of your life years.” She told her.
“How many years?” Louve asked her.
“1000 years.” She told her.
Louve will only have a few more years to live after that but she nodded.
“I’ll do it.” She told her.
“I’ll start preparing then.” Olivia told her and went away.
When she was done preparing, she told Louve to stand up. She did as she was told. Olivia held her hand and tied a red thread around their hand. She started chanting a spell. The red thread slowly went off in flames and a few seconds later it was finished.
“Your 1000 years are now gone.” Olivia told her, “Take the baby and come with me.”
Louve held her baby and followed Olivia out. She stopped in the living room. Olivia took the baby from her and laid her on the floor where she had made a magic circle with chalk.
She told Louve to stay away from the circle and started chanting the cloaking spell on the baby. After five minutes the spell was completed.
Louve took one last look at her baby daughter and kissed her forehead. She then looked at Olivia.
“Find her a good human home for me.” She told her, “I have to leave now, otherwise all of us won’t be safe.”
“I promise I’ll get her a good couple to look after her. I wish you luck.” Olivia told her.
Louve nodded and transformed into her wolf form. She took one last look at her baby girl and ran away.
She was only a few miles away when she got ambushed by the vampires.
She tried to fight them off but they were too many of them. They all tackled her and held her down on the ground.
“Where’s the baby?” one vampire asked seeing that she was no longer carrying her child.
“She died. She didn’t make it.” Louve told them.
“Oh, really? Then where’s the body?” the vampire asked.
“Some where you’ll never her.” She told him.
He kicked her in the stomach.
“You think we were born yesterday? Take her to the King! He’ll deal with her!” the vampire told his troops.
‘Stay safe, my daughter.’ She said in her head as they dragged her away.
•••
Olivia flew on her broom with the baby girl tucked comfortably under her cloak. She had a couple in mind. She saw them when she was a doctor in the hospital and knew that they would take good care of her. She flew around for a while looking for their house.
After 2 hours she finally found it. She landed in front of the house lawn and laid the baby girl on the floor in front of the door.
“Good luck, little one.” She told her in a low tone and gave the baby her blessings.
She knocked on the door and flew away and looked at her from the sky.
A man came out and saw her. He quickly picked up the baby and took her inside.
Olivia smiled and flew away. Her work was done and she had kept her promise to the she-wolf. The rest was up to her fate.
Lillian was playing around her late grandma’s house. Her grandmother had just passed away, but she wasn’t upset because she never knew her that well. Her parents were inside with all the other guests. Her grandmother’s house was near the forest. It was a peaceful place to live in. “Lillian!” her father called. She turned around and ran towards him. Her father smiled as he picked her up. “What was my princess doing?” He asked her. “Playing with the plants.” She said. “Really? Are you having fun?” He asked. She nodded. Her father, Liam, carried her to the grass and sat down on it, putting his daughter on his lap. “Daddy.” She called. “Yes, princess?” “Why is everyone wearing black dresses?” she asked. “Hmmm…” he looked up, “When someone falls asleep for eternity and will not wake up, then people come to see that person wearing a black dress as a sign of respect.” “What’s eternity?”
A white wolf was resting her head on her paws with her eyes closed. Her ears twitched when she heard a howl. She raised her head and moved her ears in the direction of the howl. She sighed as she got up. “Always calling when I’m resting.” She complained. She stretched and moved in the direction of the howl. She slowly picked her pace until she was running through the forest. “Freya!” someone called to her. She turned her head and saw a chocolate brown colored wolf running a little further away from her. It was her best friend, Karlie. “Why do you think Alpha is calling us?” She asked Freya while running. They were communicating with through mind link. “Don’t know. We’ll find out when we get there.” She told her. Freya heard someone else running on her other side. “Ladies.” A red wolf greeted them. “Randall. Looking as sharp as always.” Karlie said. The red wolf flashed a smile. “Last one
Everyone’s eyes were on Lillian. She felt nervous. She moved closer to Ryan’s ear. “Are they going to eat me?” She whispered. Ryan looked at her, amused, and licked the side of her face. He grinned. ‘Well, you do taste good.’ Karlie and Randall laughed secretly, apparently hearing his thoughts. “Yuck… I’m going to bring a toothbrush and toothpaste tomorrow. Your mouth stinks.” She said and made a disgusted face. This time Freya also laughed while her brother looked annoyed. ‘Looks like we have someone else to keep you annoyed.’ Freya grinned. ‘Are you asking for a fight?’ Ryan asked, annoyed. ‘No. I wouldn’t want your stinky breath on me.’ She snickered. ‘I am your Alpha.’ He warned. ‘But you are my stupid brother first.’ He told him and stuck her tongue out at him. Ryan groaned, annoyed at his little sister. “It’s getting late. I should go home.” Lillian said, looking at the sky
Ryan went to his house and laid down on the ground kept thinking about Lillian. He smiled, thinking about her, but then his smile faded as he thought about the fight with Shadow. ‘Do I have to make a choice?’ he asked himself, not wanting to make a choice between his pack and Luna. He heard soft paws approaching towards him. He raised his head to see who it was and saw the elder wolf, Esmeralda. He bowed her head in respect. “Elder wolf.” He greeted her. “At ease, Alpha.” She told him. He stood up straight and looked at her. “What brings you here, elder wolf?” he asked her. “I have seen that you met your Luna.” She told him. Esmeralda had the power to see the future, and that is one of the reasons she was made the elder wolf. She was a wise and a kind wolf. She was also his aunt, and he respected her deeply. “Yes.” He answered. “And she is human?” she asked him. “Yes.” He answered with a
Ryan heard someone yelling in the distance and looked in that direction. He felt Lillian was extremely sad. He wondered if it had something to do with the yelling. Just then Randall came running towards him. “Lillian ran away from her father and ended up running to Shadow’s territory!” Randall told him through mind link. His heart started pounding hard with fear. He howled to gather the elite wolfs. “What now?” Freya asked in an annoyed, sleepy tone. “Our Luna ran to Shadow’s territory.” Randall told her. “What?” she asked in shock. “I’m coming!” In a few seconds, Freya and Karlie were standing in front of them. “What happened?” Freya asked him worriedly. “We don’t know. I only saw her running to Shadow’s territory.” Randall told them. “What do we do?” Karlie asked worriedly. Everyone looked at Ryan for his instructions. Ryan was having trouble deciding what he should do. If he provoked the Midni
Ryan waited just outside Shadow’s territory. He was on high alert and looking at the other wolves in front of him very carefully. “Where is your Alpha?” Ryan asked Blake. “He is on his way here.” He told him with a smirk. “Where’s the girl?” Ryan asked him with a snarl. “What girl?” Blake asked, pretending to play dumb. “Do not test my patience!” He growled at him. “And what if we do?” Shadow asked, coming into view. “I’m here for my Luna, Shadow. She’s just a child and has no part in this.” He told her. “Your Luna?” he asked amused and laughed at him. “She is not your Luna, she is mine. Unless you’re saying that she can have two wolf mates.” Ryan looked at her in utter shock. It was not possible. A wolf couldn’t possibly have two mates, let alone a human. It was unheard of
Everyone looked at her in shock. “How?” Shadow asked her. Esmeralda shook his head at him and looked at Lillian. She then looked at them. “Let us talk outside.” She told them and walked out. The rest followed her to Ryan’s house except for Freya, who stayed behind to look after Lillian and Liam. Just outside, Shadow stopped Blake and told him to guard and keep guard outside. “Now tell us what you saw. Why is she dying?” Ryan asked her in a desperate and worried tone. “It’s not her who is dying. But there is death surrounding her.” She told him. “Meaning that people around her die?” he asked her. “Yes.” She answered. “Is she cursed?” Shadow asked, coming forward. “Yes, and no. It’s a tough question.” She told him.
Freya took Lillian outside while Ryan and Esmeralda talked with her father. “Would you like something to eat or drink?” Esmeralda asked Liam with the warmest smile. “Umm, water. Thank you.” He told her there was still some fear in his tone. Ryan went to the other room and when he came back, he was in his human form, fully clothed and was holding a glass of water. Liam recognized him at once because he had shifted in front of him in the forest earlier. He walked closer to Liam and handed it to him. Liam took the glass with shaking hands. His hands were shaking so badly that water was splashing out of the glass. “You are still freaked out.” Ryan told him. “Who? Me? No, I’m not freaking out. You’re freaking out.” He just said without even thinking or realizing what he was saying. “You are freaking out.” Esmeralda told him and nodded once at him.
`~1000 Years Later~The world wasn’t the way it was anymore. Technology had advanced and new species were discovered on multiple planets.Everything had changed in the universe except for his love for her.“Mr. King, the spaceship to earth is ready.” His secretary told him.Zack waved his hands dismissively.Everyone he knew had died or left him. His father died from poisoning. Lillian and Shadow died from old age, and Olivia never showed herself to him.Lillian was right. He would regret the day his father would die, and he did. Because of that day, he couldn’t make it to his father in time. He could only hold his lifeless body and cry.Years ago, he told Olivia not to heal him and let him be because that was his punishment, but she wouldn’t let him be and in the end saved him from death and that was how he was alive today.Zack got up from his seat and walked out of his office. He took the spaceship back to his home.When they got back, his secretary offered to drive him home, but h
Blake aimed at her head and pulled the trigger.The bullet hit her head and bounced off because of her dragon scale.She got up angrily and looked at him with a deadly expression.“You’re forgetting something. Dragon scales aren’t easy to pierce.” She told him with a growl.He knew that he would certainly be in trouble if she caught her, so he ran away, but Lillian wasn’t going to let him escape this time.She took out her wings and chased him in the air.Zack grabbed her phone and quickly sent Olivia their location because he feared that the way Lillian was angry she was bound to do something that she was going to regret.Blake was just in front of the staircase when she pushed him as hard as she could. He fell down the stairs and landed at the bottom, groaning in pain.“What you did to all of us, I will make you pay in full.” She told him with hatred, landing in front of him.“You don’t have the guts to kill me.” Blake told her, getting up.Lillian pulled her leg and kicked him so h
“What?!” Zack asked in shock, getting up. He gripped the phone in his hand.“It seemed like he had drunk some vampire blood.” Max told him.“How?” Zack asked in a more composed tone.“We don’t know for sure, but we… found dragon scales in his room. I suspect that the dragon might have come back for revenge.” Max told him.Zack looked at Lillian. She raised her eyebrow at him.“The same mistake was made last time. Don’t repeat it again.” Zack told him.“But young ma-.”“But, nothing. Do you understand me? And you will not take any actions without my approval. Do you understand me?” Zack told him in a cold, hard tone.“Yes, young master.” Max told him.“I’ll be there in a few minutes.” Zack told him and ended the call.“What happened?” she asked him, seeing the worry in his eyes.“... Someone has poisoned the vampire king like my mother.” he told her.“How?” she asked him, getting up and ignoring the fact that he just referred his father as the vampire King.“I don’t know. All I was tol
Lillian drove to the villa in her car and after driving for a few hours, she finally reached it. She got out and looked around. She smiled a little as the memories of this flooded her mind.The gates were open, so she went straight inside. She slowly walked inside and looked around.Lillian walked up to the pool first and smiled, remembering how Zack teased her here.She then went up to the room she stayed in. when she went in, she was surprised to see Zack there.He was sitting at the desk with his head resting on the table in the other way. He had his headphones on him.Lillian took a deep breath and walked towards him. She stopped in front of him and looked at his face. His eyes were closed, but the distress was clear on his face. The sunlight was hitting his face, so she lifted her hand and blocked it with her hand.Zack felt it and opened his eyes to see what had happened when he saw Lillian standing there. He lifted his head quickly and took off his headphones while looking at h
Lillian woke up before Shadow did and went to the bathroom. After taking a shower and changing her clothes, she went to the kitchen to make breakfast. She was craving something sweet for breakfast. She made waffles with bacon and a big bowl of cereal. As she slowly munched on her breakfast, she scrolled through her phone looking at her news feed.She finished her breakfast and got up to put the dishes away, then she went to check on Shadow, who was still asleep.She went to the living room and sat down on the sofa. The ring on her finger caught her eye. She smiled, looking at it, and suddenly was reminded of Zack.Lillian sighed and looked out the window of her living room, thinking about how she met Zack and how he saved her. Of all the things they had been through. She knew that there were some things she needed to talk with him about.Suddenly, a phone call interrupted her thoughts. She picked her phone and looked at the caller ID. It was Olivia.“What’s up, Liv?” she asked her aft
She turned around and gasped, while cupping her mouth with her hands.“Lillian, since the first day we met, I’ve known that you would be mine for life. You brought so many changes in me that I didn’t even know was possible. You are my happiness and the only reason that brings a smile to my face. I want to give you the best things in life because you deserve them and I want to spend my whole life with you. Will you give me the chance to let me take care of you for until the day I breathe my last? Will you marry me?” he asked, looking at her while holding out the ring in front of her.Tears started to form in her eyes.She nodded and took out her hand for him.“Yes.” she told him in a low tone.He felt like the happiest man on earth as he got up and put the ring on her finger.Lillian hugged him tightly and then leaned back a little to kiss him.When they broke their kiss, Shadow whipped the few tears that escaped her eyes with his thumb.“I love you.” He told her.“And I love you.” She
Zack went to his villa and went to the bedroom Lillian stayed in. He sat down on the bed and looked at the empty room. He remembered the memories he had here and smiled sadly. He laid down on the bed on his back and looked at the ceiling.“How I wish I could go back in time and fix everything.” he said in the empty room in a low tone.Taking a rectangular box from his pocket, he looked at it. He remembered that it was her birthday, and he didn’t find her by coincidence. He had been looking for her around the city to give her the necklace he bought for her as a birthday gift.He opened the box and took out a four clover pendant out of it. The reason he picked this pendent up was because from now he wanted her to be lucky and happy in her life. He didn’t want her to suffer anymore in her life, but when he saw the way she looked at him, he knew that they could never be what they once were.He missed the past when they were close and happy and wanted to go back to those days desperately,
After dinner, they took a walk together for a while. The moon was shining brightly in the sky and there were a lot of stars twinkling in the night sky. Lillian looked up and wondered.“Do you think that there are aliens on other planets?” she asked him.“I don’t know. I only know about this planet. Why did you ask that so suddenly?” he asked her.She shrugged.“It was just a random thought.” She told him and then asked one more question she was wondering about. “What about parallel universes?”“Babe, I have no idea. I am no scientist.” He told her and added. “But maybe there are, and we don’t know that they exist yet. Like humans don’t know that dragons, vampires, werewolves, etc. exist.”She nodded.“Maybe.” she said and looked at him with a smile.“Wanna stop by your parents before we head home?” he asked her.She nodded.They walked back to their car, but when they reached it, they saw Zack standing beside it. They stopped in front of him.Lillian looked at him with mixed feelings.
Several days passed by and Lillian felt closer to her parents than ever before. She spent most of the day with them and even did work while sitting with them. Her parents were proud of their daughter’s accomplishments and they were also grateful to have her alive and well in their life.Shadow felt a bit lonely though in these past few days since she was spending more time with them rather than him, but he tried to be understanding towards her because she got to be with her parents after so many years. He imagined doing the same if he met his parents like this in this world. Though having her distracted was also good for him because he had more time to secretly go around and make preparations for proposing to her on her birthday.He had to check a lot of restaurants before he found a good one for her. He later went to a bakery and gave an order for a two-tier chocolate mousse cake.The night before her birthday, she slept with her parents and left him alone at the house, which left hi
