"What exactly do you need Taylor for?" Caddel asked, seeing Dante lead Taylor up to her room.

Ashley turned to look at him with a smile. The man brought Taylor to her which is a suspicious thing. After all, she knew it wasn't an easy feat to rescue a hostage from a witch.

But at the moment, she put aside her suspicion and replied, "Something really important. Thank you very much for your help, Caddel."

She turned and headed into the compound leaving Caddel out. Only when she was out of sight did the man realize he had been fooled.

He chuckled and walked out. But before he did, he looked towards the direction of the house where Marcellus had been watching him.

Marcellus frowned deeply seeing the lingering smile on the man's face. The feeling that something precious was about to be snatched from his hand tugged his heart painfully.

"Stop fooling around and mark her already." He heard Adonis, his wolf, say and scoff.

"You say that like it's so easy."

"That's because it's easy. You

    Gillies' Compound "You've been awfully quiet ever." The man said to Raven who was drinking a sorrow which he didn't know existed away. The woman said nothing as she looked away from him. "Staying silent only makes me curious. You know that." Gillies probed further but Raven ignored him just like before. The man sighed and fell back on his chair. It has been like this for the past few weeks. Raven would go out for a few hours, then return only to drown herself in liquor. "Zelena Martinez is back, Caddel is back, Yoel is back. You know who else will be back?" Raven suddenly asked, drawing his attention to her. "Excuse me? They are back and I had no idea?" He asked in horror, the rate of his heartbeat tripling. Raven cast a conceding look at him. "You stay in New Jersey but you know practically nothing. Sometimes I wonder what you're good at other than taking care of your vampires."Her words were degrading but Gillies didn't care. He was way too horrified to find out three figure

    ~Ashley~"Have you spoken with M recently?" Shawn asked as we walked towards my room and I shook my head. "Rebecca said something about her being controlled by an enemy of theirs." I replied with a light scoff. Glancing briefly at him, I added, "They sure made a lot of enemies back then." "You have no idea what life was like back then. People practically struggled to stay alive and so did vampires and other creatures. Most times when you hear about Cassidy taking big steps, she was only trying to protect her vamps." Shawn replied, turning to look at me as well. "And she couldn't do that without killing anyone?" I retorted, causing Shawn to smile broadly. Instead of going deep into explanation, he merely raised his brows, giving off a sense of warmth, "As I said earlier, you have no idea what life was like back then." We stopped in front of my room and I pushed it open before inviting me in, "You may come in, Shawn." The room contained four people who all looked towards their dir

    What!I walked to the balcony quickly to see numerous dead bodies. I held my forehead in agony realizing all the people Gillies had sired had all died. I looked down at the person who had brought the bodies to see Raven staring up at me with a cold look in her eyes. "What have you done, Marcellus?" I mumbled, biting down on my lips. "Niece, I hope you can see what your mate has done. Gillies sired a lot of people. And now that he is dead, a lot of people died with him. Does that appeal to you?" She asked with a sneer and I frowned. However, I refrained from retorting when I felt someone's hand on my shoulder. "We will attend to this and meet an equal punishment to Marcellus." He said, staring down at Raven. "Mates become one. In that case, I request that Ashley should be punished as well." Raven replied instead and I narrowed my eyes coldly. "They are yet to mate. Frankly speaking, that shouldn't have anything to do with her." Cassie scoffed.Raven looked up at me and shrugged.

    "Are you crazy?" Cassie scoffed, moments after dragging Ashley to a corner. Prior to Ashley's command, her bag was getting packed and Cassie was beyond pissed that Ashley had easily agreed to go away like she hadn't seen the cunningness in Raven's eyes. Clearly, the woman had other plans. "I'll be fine, Cassie. Don't worry about me." Ashley retorted with a smile, looking at ease but that only made Cassie angrier. She turned fully to Ashley. Resisting the urge to grab Ashley by her collar, she placed her hands on the wall behind Ashley and spoke out, "You do know werewolf bites are lethal to vampires, right?" Ashley became apprehensive. She raised a brow slightly and asked, "Yes, why? Are you planning on biting me?" "Don't be silly." Cassie scoffed, looking everywhere other than her face. "I reminded you because I can give Raven a bite. She'd be at your mercy afterward. Then it'd be easier for you to turn the table around." It was a nice idea but it didn't fit well with Ashley's

Willow replied, casting a smug look at him. "I know you're terribly upset at Ashley, but this is no time for jokes. This part of the world isn't safe. So we need to leave as fast as possible before things escalate." He said, trying to reach for the container but kept missing. "Relax, Maverick." Willow scoffed after moving to a place she knew he couldn't get to that easily. She kept staring at the bottle with a sinister smile, "My numerous plans fell through, I lost my life and reputation, I tried to be someone else hoping it'd make the man I thought was my father happy but it didn't. But do I look sad or bitter?"Maverick stared at her to see her darkened eyes. There was no doubt the girl wasn't feeling extremely murderous towards Ashley.

She stopped when she saw him enter and asked, "As much as I'd love to talk about the need for you to knock before you walk in, I'll refrain from doing that." "I'm sorry about that." Gatlin, who was walking towards her, paused and glanced back at the door, "But in any case, I can go back and knock. Then walk in only when you permit me." Heaven took her hands off the files and turned to look at him, "You're already in. Doing that will make you appear foolish. Tell me what brings you here." "Right." Gatlin revealed a forceful smile and walked closer to her, "Caddel asked me to leave the school. I think he has something for me to do." Heaven didn't question him. She simply walked to her desk and pulled out a huge notebook. Flipping through numerous names, she stopped at one and turned it towards him. "Here." She said pointing to a blank spot on the

    "Put your hands up because I have both wolfsbane and vervain." They heard the man say again and bit down hard on their lips. Nevertheless, they did as he said. "Good, now turn around. One last look at your faces and I will kill you both." The man continued with a short laughter. Before they turned, he quickly added, "And don't do anything funny, this isn't the first time I'm doing something like this. Do you understand?" None of them answered and the man was so pissed off that he called out again, "Do you understand?" Ashley felt there was something wrong when he asked the second time, so she asked apprehensively, "Are we supposed to answer that?""Yes! And you better do before I hope your fu.cking brains off!" The man yelled out aggressively, totally catching the duo off-guard. If they didn't know better, they'd have thought the man hated them. What were they even saying. He had been sent to kill them.

"Well, it only serves to say she received my message and should be expecting us." Rebecca said behind him and the man sighed. "But did she really have to do this? Murdering ten humans sounds like a lot to me." Liam grumbled and received a surprised look from Rebecca who walked up to him and poked his cheeks lightly. "Are you alright?" She asked, concern written all over her face. "I've never been better." Liam replied and shrugged her hand away. "If that's the case, then I think this is the right time to flip the switch. Turn off your emotions and consider this one of your darkest periods because a lot of people are going to die. Innocent or not." Rebecca said beside him. "I know. And I can't wait to get this over with." Liam retorted. Keller walked towards them and stared at the bodies in horror. "Okay, who did this?" "They aren't bleeding from their arm or n

    "Look at that. A perfect union of a mother and her daughter. And is that rage I see in your eyes? Beautiful!" Bardot exclaimed as he clapped his hands slowly. Ashley narrowed her eyes at Bardot's unfamiliar face. "I take it you're the stubborn sibling because I did see one of the Elshers on the floor with a dagger in his heart." "Don't worry, he'll be coming along with you and your mother. He's useless to me alive anyway." Bardot replied and raised the stake in his hand. But before he took a step forward, he felt the earth shake. He thought it was his imagination but the same thing happened again. He glanced behind him to see the people with him were equally shocked as well. Then he turned his attention to Ashley to see a group of people walking towards them in an organized manner. They wore casual clothes but that didn't hide the viciousness in their eyes as they stopped just behind Ashley and gazed at him. "Oh, I think I forgot to say something." Queenie sighed with a smile.

    Mia's Apartment, in the cellar Ashley watched Mia draw a big circle on the floor with a white chalk. As the woman drew it, Ashley felt a piercing gaze on her and glanced towards its direction only to see Iris. She sighed and folded her arms underneath her breasts. At this point, she had no doubt this girl would kill her if she was given a stake to drive into her heart. "Alright, Ashley." Mia said as soon as she was done. She straightened up and walked towards Ashley. "Just bleed some of your blood over there and go lie in the circle." Ashley walked over to the bowl Mia had pointed at and bit down on her palm. She repeated the process more than three times due to her quick healing. After a considerable amount had dripped into the bowl, she relented. She wiped her palm on her dress and walked into the circle. She laid down in it and closed her eyes. Soon, Mia took hold of Cassie and laid her right beside Ashley. "I need you to hold her hand. I need a connection between you two. A

"Do you have any idea what the safe was like when your parents were still alive?" Drexa asked but Taylor shook her head. "I was just a child. I think I was just 2. What would I remember?" Taylor asked rhetorically and Drexa frowned even harder. "Think Taylor. By coming to you I'm putting my life on the line. Cassidy will kill us both if she finds out this is what we discussed." Drexa paused and glanced towards the vampires she had killed outside the door. She turned back to Taylor to see the girl looking at her with a horrified expression. "I'm glad you get it. My siblings and I have already tried to kill Cassidy before and she surprisingly spares us but that means we'll be her slave for eternity. And other than that, she's going to continue wrecking havoc." "I know, I understand what you're trying to say. Without the

    "Aunt Mia, what is she doing in your house?" Iris asked Mia, totally ignoring Ashley. Seeing this, Ashley smiled and relaxed on the chair. Then she looked between Iris and Mia. "This is Ashley Elsher, the daughter of Cassidy Elsher." Mia introduced them with a smile. Obviously, Iris hadn't recounted what Ashley had done to her in EverMore to Mia. "And I want you two to be good friends." Mia added. "No!" The two girls shouted at the same time. Ashley had only been nice to Iris because she was Mia's niece. Who said she cared about being friends with such a horrible person like Iris! "Don't worry, you'll get to love each other." Mia merely said with a light smile and directed his attention back to Cassie who was still unconscious. The name Ashley had mentioned came back and her smile faded. "Did you say Yoel?" She asked and Ashley nodded. When Ashley saw the look on Mia's face, she automatically knew the woman knew Yoel as well. "He's a jerk. He happily recounted to me all he had

    Bardot opened his eyes to find himself in an unfamiliar room. The first thing he recalled was the sight of Drexa driving a stake into his heart. He quickly tried to get up but discovered he felt extremely weak in his arms. "I think you've been daggered and kept in a box for close to six months. Or is it more than that?" He heard a familiar voice say and slowly turned to affirm his suspicion. "Disappointed?" Cassidy asked upon seeing the horrified look on his face. Bardot quickly turned his face away from her. "I can't say I'm happy to see you until you've handed over the stake in your possession." He said weakly. "So you guys can finally kill me with it permanently? No, thank you." Seh retorted with a scoff. "It's either you get up in the next ten seconds, or you remain daggered in a box for the rest of your immortal life. If you're lucky, someone can stumble upon you and free you. If you're lucky." "What? Are you back to being the controlling freak that you really are?" He said

"If I didn't know better, I would've mistaken that look for admiration." He said, walking over to her. Claire, who had her hands folded across her chest, unfolded it and slipped them into her pocket. She watched the people as well without a word. "I've been thinking about your offer." She sighed, her shoulders slumping down in defeat. "I was born a beta, being a Luna isn't a future I imagined for myself." Damien smiled and placed both hands on her shoulder. She stiffened as his masculinity drove her crazy, courtesy of the mating effect. "You are sympathetic, you've been part of the crowd for way too long so you know the people best. In my opinion, you know the people more than I do. You'll be the perfect fit for Luna." He said. Claire said nothing but when the effect of the mating bond kept increasing, she pushed him away and stormed out of there. Damie

She retorted and the man's cold eyes only became colder. He got up and grabbed her arms. "I've known Zelena longer than you ever will and I'm telling you that whatever you're feeling for her is just how she wants you to feel. You need to snap out of it." He said, his tone sounding more like an order. Keller wriggled her way out of his arm and glared at him fiercely. "Don't talk about feelings. You don't have one so I don't expect you to know how it feels to have it." She walked away from him but got blocked by Rebecca who appeared out of nowhere. "Keller, I'm sorry if we pushed you into this and it turned a little real. But the truth remains that Zelena has to die to guarantee Ashley's safety." Rebecca said with a small smile.

    Cassidy walked out of her room only to come face to face with Ashley who was about to enter hers. Ashley had totally forgotten her room was just opposite Cassidy's. "I haven't seen you in days. Where have you been?" Cassidy asked as she walked out of her room properly and closed the door. Ashley thought of ignoring her but decided against it. Yoel had told her a lot of things at the bar and she thought she could confirm it at most. "Tell me mother, how many fathers do I have?" Ashley asked. Her question took Cassidy by surprise. The woman first drew her lips into a thin line before sighing. "Mind if we go for a walk?" Ashley nodded and the mother and daughter walked out of the house. "How did you know about it?" Cassidy asked on their way. "You tell me what I want to know and I won't waste any time in telling you what you want to know." Ashley replied. The corners of Cassidy's lips curled into a smile.

The teenage looking guy who came up to you a few weeks ago claiming he wants to be friends with you." Yoel affirmed. Ashley was in a little bit of a shock as she slowly connected the dots together in her mind. He had been so convincing when he told her he wanted to be her friend. Despite her harsh words to him, he persevered. So that's why. "If Caddel is your brother and he is my father. Then that makes you my uncle. But at the same time, I don't believe you because the theory about having two fathers is something that has never been heard of in the history of supernaturals or even humans." Ashley refuted, part of her clinging onto that. She refused to believe she really had two fathers. "Look at you looking so sullen and in self-denial. I bet it must be a very bad feeling."
