Thirty years ago... A man was running fast on the side of the highway in the middle of the night. He was just running without a destination, he just thought he had to run as fast as possible so that no one could ever catch up with him. Amidst his ragged breathing, he felt so scared that he didn't even look back. The man saw car beam lights from the opposite direction, his eyes narrowed slightly so that his pace would not stop. He had to quickly find a hiding place, but the thirst in his throat was tormenting him. He just wanted to drink as much as possible, so that his thirst would be quenched. He didn't know how long he had been running. The longer he ran, the more parched his throat felt. He had to quickly find someone to help him quench his thirst. He saw a woman walking gingerly. He thought maybe she could help him. She was the only person on the pavement in the middle of the night like this. He hoped that she would be kind to him. He quickly approached the woman and asked, "
Sophie was shocked by the changes taking place in front of her eyes. Her brain was working hard to think of something that couldn't possibly be happening. She remained where she stood, fear gripping her for the entire time of her vampire existence. "Sorry to shock you, but this is the reality. I am indeed the werewolf you think," Kai said with bitterness in every tone. "But how is that possible? Vampire and werewolf..." "It's impossible to merge, is what you mean. In fact, I'm the first hybrid in this realm." Sophie sat herself on the bed. She didn't take her eyes off Kai one bit. She wanted to hear more from him. "I was cursed with vampire blood in my body. A witch did it upon the Alpha's order in my previous pack. This is my punishment for killing the Luna." Kai sat himself down on the sofa and took a deep breath. He wanted to explain everything to Sophie who had been such a big part of his early existence as a vampire, even though he had only met her two weeks ago. "The nigh
A pale-faced male figure was sitting on a chair in an oval room with a long table and several chairs surrounding it. All pairs of eyes in the room were fixed on him, waiting for him to open his voice. Crossing his fingers on the table and the man said, "Bring the hybrid to me! I will make a decision after I meet him." The man sitting to his right said, "You must consider the statements of the few eyewitnesses who have seen him, my lord!" "But he could be a danger to our clan. His wolf side is a threat to the existence of vampires!" the man opposite him said. "But he has never attacked a vampire or a werewolf, there are eyewitnesses who can confirm that!" replied the first man in the argument. "Enough! As I said, I will decide after meeting him and this is the final decision of this meeting. The meeting is dismissed!" said the man leading the meeting firmly. All the vampires in the room got up from their seats except the leader. The man leaned his back against the chair back as h
A wolf with dark grey fur growled at the vampires who standing before the little girl. He put his front paws on the ground and leapt at him. The wolf managed to knock the vampire to the ground. Not wanting to waste an opportunity the wolf immediately sank its sharp fangs into the vampire's neck to separate him from his body. The other vampire was terrified after seeing his friend killed by the wolf. He turned around and moved quickly away from the spot. The wolf let him, as he knew that the escaping vampire was not the killer of the couple lying dead in the room. The wolf turned around and looked at the two wolves behind him. [How is their child?" asked the dark grey wolf. [Their child just fainted] replied one of the wolves. [Call Ashley immediately to check on the child. You two clean up everything and from now on, I order one warrior to take turns to stand guard around this house. Don't make any suspicions, got it?" Chris ordered. [Yes, Alpha!] [Luna Hope, I need you to help
Edith was putting some clothes into an open suitcase on the bed. Edith rolled her eyes as she put in the last suit. "It's done! After working on it for an hour...when it would have only taken me half an hour or even less. You're making me unfocused Seth!" complained Edith. Seth just grinned. He removed his hand from Edith's waist and laid himself down on the sofa to look at Edith. It seemed like Edith's charm would not run out even if Seth looked at her all day long. The thought of Edith's plain body without clothes occupied Seth's mind. He thought that he should savour his wife because in a few hours he would be leaving England for France. "Have you ever travelled far in wolf form?" asked Edith, breaking Seth's reverie. "Not yet. There are more convenient means of transport, why should I tire myself out by running and swimming. I don't like sweating for something like that. Any other sweat is fine," Seth said as he grinned mischievously at Edith. "By the Moon Goddess, give your
Edith saw the woman smiling warmly as she looked at her. Edith felt the gentle touch of the woman's hand. Edith did not smile back but shed tears as she looked her. "Mommy, I remember everything!" "Oh, my little girl. I'm sorry dear!" Jovanka took Edith into her arms. She had wanted to meet her little daughter for so long and only now was her wish realised. When Edith was unconscious and almost lost her life. "I'm sorry that I have to leave you when you were so little. But you don't have to worry anymore dear, you can always bring me a visit," she added. "Why does my life have to be like this, mommy? Why do they all want me? What did we do to them?" asked Edith as she sobbed with tears already running down her cheeks. "Hush, don't say it like that. Edith, every creature that lives in this world must have its own destiny and purpose in life. Destiny is never wrong and neither is the person who determines that destiny. Maybe you've met your grandmother. Your presence in this world
Seth had been thinking hard ever since he heard Kai's statement about the French vampires hunting for veela blood. He thought of all the possibilities that could happen, but he couldn't find a bright spot in all the recent events. His feelings of hatred towards Kai had to be put aside for the time being. He needed as much information about the vampires as possible, so he decided to accept Kai to live in the pack house for the time being. Right now Seth's mind was so scattered. Jadden's ritual that would be held tomorrow made the werewolves share their duties. Seth also had to think about his pack and Jadden happened to be his best friend, so he had to focus on his best friend first. From his work room, Seth could see how Edith was preparing the ritual for Jadden and his mate with the other she-wolves. Since yesterday, Edith had been busy with ritual details that made her pacing back and forth between rooms in the pack house. "Seth, why don't we have a ritual like Jadden and his ma
"How did you know that Edith was kidnapped?" Seth felt suspicious about Kai knowing where Edith was being kept. The problem was that the ones holding Edith were French vampires based on Jadden's report to him. Those vampires also attacked Jen. They dared to take the risk of attacking a werewolf in Red Crescent Moon's territory. "I was walking out of school on my way home and I saw Edith being carried into a black van. I followed the van and arrived at the basement where Edith was being held. The people who kidnapped Edith were humans, there were three of them. After the vampires got Edith, the three humans left in their van. It seemed like the Elite Hunter paid them to kidnap Edith. They're not daywalkers like me." Hearing his explanation at length, Seth could think that everything made sense. One thought that became a question in Seth's mind was the Elite Hunter Kai was referring to earlier. "From what I can deduce this is Mikael's doing, the leader of the vampire clan and one of
Edith was surprised but was immediately able to behave normally. Julie communicated with Edith in the form of soul projection like Jovanka did. She explained to Edith how Katarina's magic bond worked on her. Her aunt had made Julie's body a receptacle for her soul so that she could live forever without an immortal mate. [Don't make Katarina suspicious. I need something ancient and powerful like your pendant to kill the witch."] "I understand," Edith whispered as quietly as possible. [Dad?] Now Julie was talking to Seth. She asked Seth to lead Liam to this place, so she could destroy the objects together. Seth was surprised that only Julian could mindlink with her and he was surprised that his daughter could do that with him too. [Wait for me, Julie.] [Okay, dad] Meanwhile Julie was casting spells and curses on Matilda with her theatrical body. Seth found Liam standing in the centre of the altar. The wolf was preparing himself for his ritual that was not carried out hundreds of y
"Julie will be with me until she is 17 years old. She will be a great witch because I will teach her my skills. You see? She's bound to me."Katarina said it smoothly. Of course Edith had thought that Katarina wanted Julie too. Edith was more inclined to Katarina's consideration because she was still her family. She wouldn't hurt her own family.She also couldn't just break it off because Julie still had a father. Seth would not agree to the consideration because Katarina had attacked his pack members and even made him die in the past. Everything became a dilemma for Edith.At a crucial time like this, Edith must be able to decide quickly. More than a dozen pack members' lives are in her hands. Only Katarina could open the portal to find their whereabouts."All right, but on the condition that you break the bond between the two of you," said Edith."Tough choice.""Don't waste our time, witch!" snapped Jen sarcastically."Just do it and I'll break the bond as soon as you let us go. Ju
After Jovanka told Edith that Julie was at the Bloodworth Coven mansion, Edith immediately rushed to the place with Kai. Kai guided Edith because he knew the fastest way to that direction. Edith also asked two warriors, Jen and Jed to escort them during their journey to France.Once they reached Versailles, Edith and Kai immediately moved at their vampire speed while Jen and Jed shifted into wolves. The four meet by the lake according to the terms of the deal proposed by Kai. The mansion inhabited by the oldest vampire clan was protected by a veil from being seen by humans.Only Edith and Kai could see through the veil that separated the lakeside from the spacious courtyard of the mansion. Jen and Jed watched until they turned their heads to the left and right just to see what Kai had cancelled."Can you see it, Jed?" asked Jen when they had turned human again."Same as you. I only see the pine trees.""You hold Jen's hand while I hold Jed's. Only
"She chose a hotel as a residence? How strange."From the clues given by Kellan, Seth arrived at a three-star hotel. He knocked gently on the door but there was no answer from inside. Seth repeated and called out.He put his ear to the door and sharpened his sense of hearing. His ears did not hear any activity from inside the room. He pushed the door, which was not closed tightly."Hello?"Seth walked into the room. He saw two empty beds and several bottles of liquor on the table. He continued to check the rest of the room but found no one in the room."Is grandpa wrong?"Seth finally decided to leave the room. Lingering in that place would only be a waste of time while Julie was in danger. He had to use the time available to find his daughter.*"Hello..."Katarina grinned at the two guards on the left side of the mansion gate. Then she simply moved her hand so quickly that the two guards went into convulsions. Until they slumped to the ground, Katarina just looked at them with an ar
"Bye, mom."Julie waved at Edith, who smiled at her from the main terrace. Right beside Julie, Kai waved goodbye to Alexandra. He was in charge of escorting Julie to her school according to Seth and Edith's orders.Julie hoped that her ride this time would not have any obstacles like yesterday because of the witch. She played with the jar of moths that she had caught last night because they had entered her room. Noticing it with a smile, Julie brought the moth to keep her company on the way to school.The silence was broken when the car stopped slowly. Julie saw three pale-faced men standing in front of their car. Kai quickly got out of the car and approached the three men."I guess Mikael was so desperate that he sent you guys on this sunny day just to cheer me up. Speaking of which, how's Blanche doing after I squeezed her heart?"One of the three growled angrily. Without saying much, the man attacked Kai by grabbing him by the neck. Kai coughed until both of his hands tried to rele
"Fuck, I really hate them."Margot shouted, breaking the chandelier after clenching her fists in the air. She felt exasperated by the incident. Her anger was not channelled just because she saw the offspring of the person who made her miserable for the past 200 years.The seven rogue wolves surrounding her gasped in surprise and looked at each other. When the chandelier made a loud shattering sound, Gautier got up from the chair. He advanced towards Margot and looked deeply at her."What exactly is your problem with those brown wolves? From what I saw you were flirting with them earlier," Gautier was irritated by Margot's attitude."That's none of your concern."Margot looked away. Obviously, that made Gautier suspicious. Margot's words and deeds were inversely proportional and he wanted to know the truth."Tell the truth. We all need to know it, apart from the reason for the werewolf race to triumph again. It doesn't make sense that a witch would have the sincerity to help a werewolf
"I knew you'd be here soon..."Kellan looked straight at Seth, who was sitting opposite him. He lifted the cup filled with chamomile tea and sipped slowly. In his twilight years, Kellan only had to reap the benefits of what he had sown.Seth didn't move. He waited for his grandfather to start talking. On cloudy mornings like now, sitting in front of the fireplace was one way to ward off the cold that blew in from the window."I'm at the point of no return. I need to find the truth soon because I feel like the witch is after me.""I saw the trials coming at Red Crescent Moon. Yeah, I experienced that back then too. Challenging the Alpha takes a lot of courage because it's the same as betraying her.""That's what I'm doing now...I need to solve this problem right away, sis. I'm looking to you for guidance."Kellan rubbed his chin. For a moment, he considered whether to tell the truth or not. He didn't want to be seen as a horrible werewolf by his grandson, but after seeing the worried l
"You remain calm even when your life is at risk, like now."Eva smiled. She couldn't laugh because her stomach would feel like it was being pulled. Eva had already made peace with her love story with Christian; after all, the bond of the wolves was stronger than any magic in this world."By the way, thank you for helping me. Even though you suffered like this.""Bloody witch. She's not enrolled in the Idris Council, and I've never seen her. I have a bad feeling about her, Chris."Not only Eva, but Chris also had the same feeling about Margot. He observed how she looked at Seth when Seth was motionless. Margot seemed to be possessed by an aura of hatred when she last looked at Seth before she disappeared into the portal.*"The vampires already know about Skyler's condition. Your enemies are not just two but three."Seth massaged his temples. He thought hard about all the possibilities that would happen. Plus, the vampire clan from now on could not be underestimated.After hearing the
"Gau-tosser huh..."Seth teased Gautier to provoke him. He saw the wry grin on Gautier's face, which meant that he understood Seth's harsh words to him. Afterwards, Gautier was able to control his emotions again."Do you want to fight as a human or a wolf? I'll give you three seconds to answer."Seth raised three fingers in the air. He folded his fingers one by one slowly and got no serious answer from Gautier. After folding his last finger, Seth made a move to attack Gautier in human form.Seth ran quickly towards Gautier, but just before Seth's hand touched Gautier's face, the werewolf shifted back into wolf form and managed to bite Seth's hand with his fangs."Shit!"Seth instantly shifted his form back into that of a wolf. He immediately bit Gautier's tail because it was the part of Gautier's body that he managed to reach. With his strength, Seth bit Gautier's tail firmly and pulled so that Gautier's bite on his hand could be released.Seth managed to free his hand from the black
