Keller drove off in anger, different thoughts running through her head. She knew the man didn't like her but he didn't have to be obvious about it. She stopped the car along the road and cried out. Maybe what they said is true, love is truly the worst feeling anyone can have. She was lost in her thoughts and failed to notice someone walking towards her car. "Keller?" A familiar voice called from the other end and Keller's head snapped up. Without further ado, she opened the door of the car and fell into Rebecca's arms. Seeing that the little girl was having her moment, Rebecca held onto her, rubbing her back slightly as a show of comfort. "How did you get here? Zelena made sure there's no way for anyone to get in or out of Texas." Keller mumbled after getting a grip on herself. She withdrew from Rebecca and lowered her head in embarrassment. She couldn't believe she had leapt into Rebecca's arms without any thought. But at the same time, the woman's arms were really soft and nic
Ashley was in the compound as usual when she felt someone walk toward the compound. But because of the barrier around it, he stood outside. Caddel revealed an excited expression, like that of a teenager. "Ashley, I have good news for you!" Ashley didn't reply immediately. She took her time before looking up at the intruder. She raised her brows in an unnatural way before asking lazily, "In other words I need to let you in?" Caddel grinned even more and Ashley sighed and stood up. She walked up to him and stood meters away from him. "What is so important that makes you think I will do that?" The smile on Caddel's face didn't fade. Instead, he glanced behind him, "You can come." Ashley, who was curious to see what the man had in store, also looked behind him. When Dante appeared, she gasped. She had been planning to pay Taylor another visit. Maybe this time, she'd reason more with her. "Dante!" She called in surprise and rushed forward to engulf him in a bone crushing hug. Dante
"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 stared at a transparent glass container which had a colourless liquid in it. Maverick walked out with a bag but stopped upon seeing her. "What is that?" "A little gift for Ashley Elsher." 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. Frankly speaking, it's in the nature of vampires to
