Pegasus BarThe bar buzzed with people once it struck 9 every Friday night. It was a place of relief for a lot of people. Where they'd have a conversation with their bottle of alcohol, relieving to it how stressful their lives had been that week. Or a place where they'd find a love interest to take home. Two men sat at a corner sipping their tequila while watching the people around them. If one paid closer attention to the duo, they'd notice the second man who had his head bowed slightly. The first man's face was completely shrouded by darkness but his pale hand which picked up his glass was totally visible. "Did you find who I'm looking for?" He soon asked and the second man nodded. "Yes. He is an Alpha and he goes by the name, Marcellus Dexter." The first man went silent then took more sips from his glass. He watched the people around him for a few more minutes. "What else did you find out about him?" He asked. "His pack was destroyed months ago and he happened to survive
~Ashley~ I had my head placed on my desk while the teacher taught. Zane who sat right beside me couldn't stop talking. "Shut up, Zane." I exhaled, raising my head to glare at him. "You two have decided not to listen to a word that I say. Does that mean I should leave?" The man in front of us huffed. I glanced up at him and then at Zane, "Zane is listening. Or do you want to leave and watch me report to the Principal?" He glared at me in anger before turning to the board again. Nothing really changed after the impostor was killed and Heaven continued acting like nothing happened. As soon as I heard the sound of the bell, I got up and walked out of the door. I headed straight to the Principal's office where I was sure Liam would be. I knocked twice before going in. Heaven and Liam seemed to be in a conversation before I walked in. They must've used a spell to block their words, otherwise, I would've heard them. "It's afternoon already? The day runs so fast this century." He
~Ashley~ "The way y'all talk about my mother makes me want to meet her. I mean, I was able to bring Cassie back from the dead. Shouldn't that be the same for my mother?" I asked, raising my brows slightly and she sighed. "Yes. Mia, Eden and I, we're all capable of doing it. But the only problem is, ever since Cassidy died, no one knows where Drexa hid her body. Drexa knew we'd try to resurrect her, so she stacked the body where we don't know." Heaven sighed again. I batted my eyelids a couple of times and lowered my eyes to the floor. "I heard from Rebecca that Drexa has two of her brothers daggered in a box and stuffed away. Can my mother be in the same ordeal?"Heaven sucked onto her teeth and nodded. "It's possible that Cassidy is alive somewhere. Not alive in our kind of way. But her body is. Can I tell you something about the Elshers?" "Sure. I'm one of them now anyway." I retorted with a smile. "It's impossible to kill an Elsher." "I'm sorry?" I called again, thinking I ha
"You have?" M asked in surprise, looking at the woman. The woman walked past him and straight to a chair, "Yes, Mattew. I've been waiting for you ever since you arrived in Texas." Mattew nodded and walked towards another chair as well. "You know something about the recent killings going on with witches?" "Yes, I do. In fact, I have a message for you, Mattew." The elderly woman said. "From who? The killers?" He asked and the woman nodded. "You seem to know about this killers and yet you did nothing to help your own people." The woman chuckled, "If I was so powerful I would've still had my eyes, don't you think?" "Oh, you seem to be doing well without it." He countered and a wide grin spread across the woman's face. "I didn't survive out of my own will. I only survived because they needed an intermediary between them and the supernatural world." "I see. So what do you have to tell me?" M nodded. "They know your parents were killed by vampires and you've been stoked with revenge
The Other Side Of New Jersey , 11:43pm"Where exactly are we going?" Willow asked, walking out with Maverick. "We're going to the other side of New Jersey where there are a lot of things happening. That is the only place we can get a closer coverage on what your father has been doing." The man replied, turning to look at her. Willow paused and inhaled slowly, then she glared at him briefly. "He's not my father." Then she walked ahead of him, heading towards the train station. "Okay." Maverick replied behind her. They soon got to the train station and got on board. However, midway to their destination, a ruckus broke out in the train. The cause of the problem soon ran towards Willow's side of the train. He was quickly caught by some men in the train and held down. Willow furrowed her brows when she realized he was a vampire. "Excuse me. What did he do?" She asked the question everyone around wanted to but couldn't summon the courage to. One of the men glanced up at her and sho
~Ashley~ I walked into the compound with Dante eagerly holding my hands. "Officers, what can I help you with?" Rebecca asked when she walked down and saw the officers with him. "We're sorry, Miss Henderson, but his parents made it mandatory for him to be brought back as soon as he sees her." The officer in front replied. "Why is Martha still so bitter even after so many years?" Rebecca scoffed underneath her breath and I was forced to chuckle. "Ashley, are we having dinner down here or in the sitting room upstairs?" Rebecca asked, turning her attention to me. "Here doesn't sound like a bad idea." I replied before turning to Dante, "What do you think, Dante?""Whatever you want, my lady." He replied with a bright smile. *If I didn't know better, I would've thought you two were lovers." I heard Eden say and stared towards the stairs. "Eden, let her breathe. Ashley can do whatever she wants to do. She is a hybrid after all." Rebecca scoffed and walked beckoned on to a vampire nea
~Ashley~"You've been drinking since morning." Eden said, walking towards me. I didn't turn to look at her as I took another swing from my bottle. "Aren't you curious to see Marcellus and I here?" She asked after some seconds of silence. "I don't care." I replied, still not turning to look at her. "I see." She mumbled and reached out for the bottle in my hand but I moved my hand out of her reach. This time, I turned to look at her, raising my brows in provocation, "Send someone to get yours if you're interested." "I want to share yours with you." She replied with a smile. I stared at her for a while before handing the bottle to her. I watched her take a gulp from it before handing it back to me. "How long have you known Marcellus was your mate?" She asked. "I found out when I was still a werewolf. It doesn't matter anymore. I'm now a hybrid.""I've been meaning to ask. Before one can become a vampire, you have to die first. Did you ever die?" Eden asked me and I stopped to t
~Rebecca~"How long have you not heard from M?" I heard Mia ask and turned to look at her. I glanced at the table she was working on which was scattered with herbs. "Since last week. I was so busy with Ashley and EverMore that I didn't check up on him. When I called him a couple of days ago, it went unanswered." I replied and walked towards the table. Mia glanced up at me and nodded, "I see. Maybe he's probably busy as well." "I know but at least I deserve to know so I can help him from here. If it's to send more people to help him with whatever he has on, I can do it. Or I can even go myself." I breathed out. "Well, maybe he has his hands full and doesn't want to bother you until he has come up with a solution." Mia said, taking up a bowl. "I'm done. Do you have any of his belongings that I can use to track him?"I nodded and reached into my pocket for the face towel which I had nabbed from his room earlier. "Here." I mumbled, extending the towel to her. "Great. So, you'll giv
"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. P
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
"I don't know. I should be asking you." Drexa replied with a frown. She has risked her life coming here only to find out Taylor had no idea how to unlock the safe. "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
Damien watched over his people with a wide grin on his face. He noticed someone watching him and turned towards her direction. "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
Texas "And where have you been?" Keller heard as soon as she got into the house. She slipped both hands into her pocket and turned to look at Liam with a frown. "I've been out with Zelena." 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. "Are you sure this is about Ashley or you two are making it up to
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. No one was authorized to bargain with her yet, this little one here said so
"Caddel?" Ashley repeated with a small frown. "Is it the Caddel I know or I'm I missing something?" "Yep. It's the Caddel you know. 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." Yoel laughed coldly and leaned towards her, "Also, Cassidy is just a few witc
