“I'm sorry; I should have never brought you here with me," Mathias said, berating himself, his anger palpable as he struggled with his failure to protect Fateema as he had desired. "You are forgetting I came here of my own free will," she said, forcing a smile through her pain, her determination shining through. "Let's kick that old witch's butt," she said, and her words brought a fleeting smile to Mathias's face, a momentary respite from the tension and fear that enveloped them. Mathias helped her up to her feet, their movements slow and deliberate, their bodies battered and sore. Together, they made their way towards the spot where Mrs. Fernanda had landed, but she was nowhere to be found. "Where is she?" Mathias exclaimed, his voice filled with frustration and confusion, his eyes scanning their surroundings. "She must have escaped, disappeared like the last time," Fateema Fatta responded, her voice tinged with disappointment. "No, no, no. She can't be gone... But can you find
Lara, Peterson, Gova, Hendrick, and Ella, accompanied by some of Lucian's men, rushed down the underground stairs leading to the dungeon, their footsteps echoing in the tense silence, drawn by Lucian's piercing screams and furious curses. As they reached the dungeon and laid eyes upon the empty cell, their mouths fell open in shock, and a profound sense of disbelief washed over them. The prisoner had vanished, leaving behind nothing but a gaping hole in the center of the cell. "Where is the boy? Where is Adams?" Lara's voice trembled with a mix of urgency and concern as she voiced the question that lingered in everyone's mind. Lucian, seething with anger, had no patience for inquiries he deemed futile. "Why were there no guards watching over him down here?" he snapped at Lara, his words laced with frustration and accusation. "I didn't think it was necessary. I believed the cell was impenetrable... The bars were fortified with powerful magic," Lara explained, her voice tinged with
"I can't really fault you; you only did what you thought would keep her safe. Everyone can make mistakes, and not even a powerful vampire like yourself is free from this," Mathias said empathetically. "I'm sure we will find a way to break Clara free from her curse." "But why didn't she just kill the mother and child when she cast the forgetting spell on you? I mean, you wouldn't have known because your memories of Ellen would have been wiped out," Fateema asked, her curiosity piqued. "I can never really trust a witch completely. So, before she cast the spell on me, I made sure she linked herself to me and Ellen. If she ever tried to harm Ellen, the forgetful spell she cast on me would be broken, and I would remember everything. Not only that, if Ellen was under threat by any supernatural being, the spell would be broken, and I would remember everything—be it a witch, vampire, or werewolf. I would rain down on them with my full anger," Damian replied, his voice laced with determinatio
“Dad!" Adams screamed out in agony, his voice filled with pain and disbelief as he witnessed the horrifying sight before him. He just witnessed the brutal death of his own father, and his killer stood there, callously holding his father's decapitated head. A surge of overwhelming anger coursed through his veins, fueling his body like a raging fire. Within moments, his eyes turned a fiery red, and his face transformed, becoming hairy and frightening. The sheer power pulsating through his body caused both arms of his shirt to tear apart, unable to contain his muscular and expanded form. His ordinary fingernails were replaced with long, sharp claws, further solidifying his transformation into a complete beast—an alpha, radiating dominance and a single-minded purpose: death. His gaze was fixed solely on the brown wolf, the creature responsible for mercilessly taking his father's life. But before he could reach his target, he had to confront the remaining men who surrounded him, a ta
Dr Akeem handed the small jotter over to her, and Dr Ellen stared at the strange writings, her eyes filled with a mix of curiosity and concern. And, of course, her daughter's name leaped out at her, evoking a surge of emotions within her. Is this boy referring to her own Clara? The mere thought sent shivers down her spine, intensifying the knot of anxiety in her stomach. Could this boy be one of Clara's close friends at school? Dr. Ellen's mind raced with the possibilities, her heart pounding in her chest as she contemplated the implications. She desperately yearned for answers to her burning questions, an ache that gnawed at her relentlessly... Back at Great Hill High, The school period came to an end, and the students poured out of the building, their footsteps echoing in a rush of excitement and chatter. Amidst the commotion, Noah fulfilled his promise and assumed a vigilant and protective stance beside Clara, his unwavering gaze fixed on her like a shield. As the students hur
Inside Great Hill High (Basketball court): "Eric Damian... I wasn't expecting you," Peterson stuttered, sounding like someone who had just realized he had dug his own grave. "Well, well, well. If it isn't my old-time friend Peter... son. I should have known, I should have known it was you all along... my impersonator. Who else knows me so well if not you? I have never encountered a more cunning and manipulative being like yourself in the thousand years I have walked upon this God-forsaken planet," Damian said with a smirk, slowly walking towards Peterson, his intentions oozing malevolence. Peterson's throat tightened as he swallowed. "Damian, listen. I only played a prank on you by impersonating you. I meant no harm, and no harm was done. But I'm sorry anyway. I mean, we have been friends for a very long time. You just can't kill me like that. We are practically brothers, Damian," Peterson pleaded, desperation creeping into his voice as Damian closed in on him. "Some kind of brothe
The three wolves circled around the brown wolf with calculated precision, teasing him ever so subtly, as if toying with the idea of launching an attack. Each time he turned to face them, they would instinctively withdraw, keeping him on edge. Their strategy was cunning, designed to erode his concentration and wear him down until they could strike with a devastating blow. It was a relentless game, testing his stamina and resolve. Amidst the chaotic battle, Eric Damian unleashed his fury upon the wolves, dispatching them with a ruthless rampage, leaving a trail of slain adversaries in his wake. Adams, not one to be outdone, found himself facing a formidable pack of his own. Mathias and Fateema fought side by side, their unbreakable bond evident in their synchronized movements. Amidst the flurry of combat, Clara remained the vigilant observer, the only one to notice Noah's perilous situation. She understood that she had a crucial role to play, a duty to aid her friend in need. "Come
"He can never mean or bring her harm," Mathias assured, his voice filled with conviction. "And how can you be so sure?" Adams inquired, a hint of skepticism in his tone. Mathias smiled, his confidence unwavering. "Clara once asked how she became a hybrid when both her parents are humans. The answer is Eric Damian. He is her real father, Adams. How can he possibly mean her harm?" Mathias explained, his words laced with assurance. Adams muttered, caught off guard by the revelation. "What?" "Don't tell her anything yet. He will tell her himself when he feels the time is right," Mathias advised, his tone filled with caution. Back at Peterson Mansion... Peterson sat down on one of his plush Italian leather couches, cradling a glass of whiskey in his hand. He took a sip, savoring the flavor. "That was so close, so very close... Everything I had planned, everything I worked so hard for, was on the verge of disappearing. A mere mistake could have cost me everything," Peterson muttered t
