~Marcellus~ Waking up to the respect I deserve surely makes the air and food taste different. I chuckled at my silly thought"Someone looks happy." I heard and looked back to find Maverick staring at me with dark eyes. I turned to look at him fully and raised a brow at the knife in his hand. "You're going hunting?" He looked down at it and laughed. "Nah, just felt like having it in my hand this morning. I've been thinking of how to cut someone into pieces." I saw a crazy look in his eyes after he said those words, but they were gone the next second. I walked closer to him and patted him on the shoulder. "I don't want the bodies of pack members littered all over my pack." "I know, right?" He scoffed and walked away from me. When I looked back, I caught sight of him tightening his hand on the knife. I felt the phone in my pocket vibrate and took it out to see it was a call from the pack's witch. "I need you to see something." I heard her say shakily from the other end. Without
~Willow~After my talk with Jarvis went the wrong way, I decided to return to the Alpha's house in order to clear my head but who knew I would get dragged into a corner with Maverick who has been acting insane ever since he lost to Marcellus, welding a knife to my throat. "I don't know why you're so bitter with me. We both failed, so why do I have to suffer the consequences of our failure alone?" I asked, glaring hard at him. He wasn't fazed by my words or look as he pressed the dagger harder into my skin, making a cut out of it. "Your one job was to distract Marcellus and yet you couldn't do it. How useless can you be?" "Don't blame me for your misfortune, Maverick. Blame the Luna for birthing you later than Marcellus. If she had, all these wouldn't have been necessary." I replied, trying to get into his head. He looked into my eyes for a while before shoving me away. I didn't stumble but I did loose footing for a few seconds before stabilizing myself. "I've always wanted to av
~Ashley~Cassie and I stood by the window watching the three vampires who walked into our pack like they owned the place. Rebecca had warned me of a big group of vampires who are my enemies. As I looked down on them, I wondered if they were part of the group. "We didn't come to make any trouble. We simply lost our way and would like to be referred back to the main road…peacefully." The man in the middle who had a black leather jacket shouted. "Then you should be talking to the Alpha not us!" A pack member yelled back in reply. The vampire slowly turned to look at him and scoffed. "If I knew the way to his place, I wouldn't be here exchanging words with you." Then he looked towards a direction. I also heard the approaching footsteps and raised my eyes to see Marcellus approaching with Cage and Jerry behind him. "Hello, I'm Alpha Marcellus, how may I help you?" Marcellus asked with a frown. The vampire smiled and walked closer to him. "I'm Alfred an these are my brothers, Henry a
An Unknown LocationA compound filled with vampires, a man suddenly walks in and grabs one of them. Then he inserted his hand into his chest region and pulled out the man's heart. This got the attention of the other vampires who stopped and looked back at her, each taking a protective stance. One of them quietly left the scene, heading inside. The first impulse which is to fight their enemy overcame them and they all lunged forward to attack him. Much to their surprise, a large number of them got slaughtered. He was about to finish the rest of them when a firm voice stopped him. "Stop!" The numerous bodies beside him and the blood on his face gave him the appearance of a reaper. "I was beginning to think you'd stand aside and watch me kill all those sired to you." He laughed as he threw aside the heart in his hand. The woman stepped forward and raised a brow apprehensively. "I never expected to see you after what happened that year." "I wouldn't be here if something wasn't afte
~Ashley~Celene caught Cassie before she could fall and slung her over her shoulders after that. "What was that for?" I asked, feeling the building anger in me. "I've been looking for a way to speak with you." Cassie replied instead, walking closer to me. "Do you remember your mother's sister who was responsible for her death?" "Drexa?" I asked uncertainly. "Yes." She nodded in agreement. "After she killed your mother, she gathered most of her sire lines together. Not because she cared about them but because she needed their protection." "Even if they loathe her they won't do anything to her. But what's the big deal, she's old and powerful. She can protect herself, why gather them to protect her?" I asked with a scoff. "Drexa had a habit. She'd haunt the most powerful witches. Young or old and would drain them of their blood, in turn absorbing their energies and cultivation. Then she'd have a witch cast a spell which is to wake her in ten or twenty years time. That sleep makes i
Ashley caught up with Celene but the latter didn't give her the chance to do anything as she maintained a distance from Willow. "Instead of acting stubborn by fighting me, go meet Ashley and get a cure for my bite. Otherwise, you'd be dead in the next ten minutes." Celene snorted and left again. As much as Willow would've loved to follow her, the pain inside her body had tripled, making it impossible for her to breathe. She left for Ashley's house but figured out she wasn't around. With fear in her eyes and her heart thumping crazily, she prayed that Ashley would arrive. The compound wasn't crowded like other days so it was very easy for her to nap Ashley the moment she appeared. Ashley reacted quickly and gave two jabs. One to the abdomen and the other to the heart. Willow caught the one directed at her heart but failed to catch the one which landed on her abdomen. She sputtered out blood almost immediately and glared hard at Ashley who had realized her mistake. "I'm sorry. So
~Marcellus~As soon as the stealer left, I walked back to Eden but stood a little farther from her table. She had her eyes closed as she mumbled a spell. When she opened them, she did nothing to hide the panic in her eyes. "Go to the streets of the pack with the pack warriors and stop an impending deaths!" She said hurriedly. She gave no more information so I hurried to assemble the pack warriors before setting off for the pack's streets. When we got to the pack, I noticed its rare quietness. When I heard low sobbing, I hastened my pace and soon, I got to the back of a particular house. The sight that met me left me shocked. I soon got over my shock and rushed over to the various ripped body parts. My eyes met with a place which had a large amount of blood but no sign of any body. Squatting, I scooped some of it with my fingers and smelt it. Like I thought, it belonged to a wolf but where was the body?Cage interrupted me and made me more depressed when he reported the amount o
The news soon reached Rebecca and she hurriedly set off to meet Ashley. When she got to the lake, she found Ashley bent over the dead Cassie, eyes shut having a shallow sleep. When she got closer, Ashley's eyes flew open, filled with blood thirst, she narrowed her eyes down at Rebecca. When she recognized Rebecca, the fire in her eyes disappeared but she remained seated. Apprehensively, Rebecca inched closer to her and sat down on the wooden chair nearby. "Tell me there is a way to bring her back, Rebecca and I will do whatever you ask me to." Ashley said, her eyes devoid of any emotion. When she heard no reply from Rebecca, she looked up tearfully at her and asked, "It's true isn't it? She's gone and it's all because I let Jarvis live when I should've sucked out her miserable life!" "There is actually a way, Ashley but you're not gonna like it." Rebecca suddenly said. Like she thought, the latter sat up almost immediately, finally having something to grab onto. "What or who
