Texas "Zelena Martinez, that sly bitch." Liam mumbled with anger as he glanced around him to see the numerous humans. "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
~Ashley~We got to a location where the compass Dagon gave us stopped spinning. I walked around the place a couple of times but it kept bringing me back to that exact location. "It seems we've arrived." Marcellus mumbled beside her. He reached into the bug briefcase he had been carrying around and dug out a shovel. "Move back a little, I'm about to start digging." Marcellus said and Ashley obliged. He dug for a while before he saw a coffin. Wiping the first off the lid, he glanced at her and asked, "Do you want me to open it or would you prefer to do it yourself?" "Whichever." Ashley replied and the man nodded slightly. He straightened up and walked to her."You can open it then. I don't want someone strangling me for disrupting her rest." He joked but she didn't find it funny. Nevertheless, she walked into the dug grave and pulled off the lead. What she saw was a lifeless body which looked a lot like her. "Move away from the casket!" A familiar voice snorted behind her and she
In a dark room, a coffin is suddenly opened from the inside and a man's head emerged. He glances around the room and cracks his head slightly. He gets out of the box but doesn't proceed further when he catches wind of a conversation just outside the room. "Drexa said not to fail. You go in there and you drive a fu.cking stake into his heart, okay?" A girl ordered and some men hummed. Dagon, who had woken up in his vampire body, scoffed lightly and walked towards the door stealthily. He opened it just before the men did and cocked his head to the side, a smile gracing his face. "I believe I'm the one you're looking for." He said, startling the men who had never seen him in his vampire body. Before they could react, Dagon reached out and pulled out both their hearts. "If you ask me, it seems like Drexa wanted you both dead. Sending you after me is quite lame prior to no photo of me." He sighed, and drew the men inside the room. He dumped them just beside the door and slammed it
Drexa dropped her phone and rushed towards the place. However, what she met was the sight of her vampires dead and the coffin opened. Cassidy's body was gone! Willow expected Drexa to fly into a rage but the woman remained so calm that she thought there was something wrong. Drexa placed the phone which still had her ongoing call on her ear. "Go back to the compound and have one of the witches cast a location spell. I have Cassidy's clothes in my possession." The woman said and Crassus hummed from the other end. There was no need for her to say where it was since he already knew."Okay." He replied before ending the call. Crassus slipped his phone into his pocket again and rubbed his lips with his palm. "I guess this is where I wash off my hands." Said Chanel as she turned, intending to work out. "If you're really serious about Drexa keeping to her own end of the deal, then I suggest you stop being petty and help out around here." He scoffed, causing her to stop. She glanced s
Ashley had gotten far with Marcellus who had woken up along the way. "How far are we?" She asked, panting heavily whilst stopping. Marcellus who had run past her had to stop and walk back to her. Seeing the way she was breathing, he placed a hand on her back and rubbed it gently. He didn't fail to remember he was the one who caused this by killing Gillies. "Hundreds of miles away from them." He replied her nonetheless, glancing behind the direction they had run from. "Drexa killed Dagon. But I don't understand why Shawn said to keep running and not do anything." Ashely complained after catching her breath. She straightened up again causing his hand to slip down her back. She froze at the spark that flew between them but was quick to readjust herself. After he marked her some hours ago, the need for them to mate had increased by ten folds and she could literally smell him the whole time. "It won't stop until we mate." Marcellus hinted with a small smile. Her cheeks flushed in
Kyle took Marcellus to his office only to meet someone burning something in the room."Sorry about the smoke. I just didn't realize to put it on time." Kyle apologized, and took the burning leave from the woman. He glanced down at it and said, "This is sage. It's a way to have a private talk without anyone tuning in on it. Either intentionally or accidentally."Marcellus muttered an 'Oh' and walked towards a chair Kyle had pulled out for him. Afterwards, Kyle headed to a section of his office, giving Kyle the opportunity to look around the room and appreciate its ancient but beautiful design. Kyle returned minutes later with a bottle of wine and two glasses. "This is a 60-year-old wine. So I assure you, it tastes really good." "A 60-year-old wine sounds like a lot so I have no idea why you're willing to share it with me. After all, I have a feeling you don't really like me being with your daughter." Marcellus asked with a small smile. Kyle opened the wine and filled the two glass
Liam got up with a sullen face and walked into the garage. He opened one of the cars and got into it. "How long does she have to play this role?" He asked Rebecca who was seated in the driver's seat. "Until we get what we want. Do you have a problem with it?" Rebecca asked, glancing at him. Liam shook his head lightly and stared outside the window. Rebecca pretended to notice what was going on and started the car. Startled, Liam turned to her in surprise, "What are you doing? I don't see her in the car." "She'll find her way." The woman replied, stepping on the accelerator. They hadn't driven far when Rebecca said, "Admitting how you feel isn't something wrong. It can save you some unnecessary heartaches." "There's nothing wrong with me, Rebecca. I only care about her the same way I care for Ashley. They are agemates after all." Liam refuted her words causing her to smile. "How quick you are to quickly associate her to the person I'm talking about. So you really do like her. F
Chad said nothing for a long time before he scoffed haughtily. Scraping back his chair, he got up and stared fiercely at Shawn, "Are you joking with me, Shawn?"Shawn didn't want to waste any more strength of energy with this man, so he picked up his brush again and lowered his head onto his drawing, completely disregarding him. This action provoked Chad who immediately reached out and flung the painting and the entire colour palette which was placed on the table to the ground. Shawn stared at the mess for several seconds but said nothing. "There's no way Rebecca will let me off if she finds out I'm the one responsible for the numerous deaths of Alphas. Because of what I did, the population of New Jersey had risen greatly with supernaturals posing a threat to the vampires. Her vampires." Chad said again. "I've told you what you want to know, believe or disbelieve it at your own risk. I don't care." Shawn replied, dropping the brush on the bare table.He grabbed the towel rag on hi
"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
