[Elara's POV] When I'm a little calmer, my mother asks. I give a headshake. "Not at present, though I'm sure he would eventually.""If the rejection affects the infants?" She asked.I give a head shaking gesture. "No, I asked Smith, but he said I would likely not be able to bear any more kids after this.""Oh my god! We can't allow him to turn you down then, Elara. It will obliterate your prospects of becoming a mother.""Mum! These two priceless babies that are developing inside of me are still mine. They are more than sufficient. In addition, I doubt I will ever be able to love again." I put a hand on my stomach and said in a hushed voice. "I've decided on something. I'll let him go. I'm hoping you can agree with this choice and keep it secret." She smiles and says warmly, "Of course. Why do you have such an aversion towards having children?" I sigh, and she continues. "But no matter what, we'll support you, okay? As long as the decision is yours." I smile back gratefully at her a
[That man's POV]A Howl. A forest. Black and dark. Two dark purple eyes staring into the darkness. The creature let out a low growl, its sharp teeth gleaming in the moonlight. Its fur was sleek and bluish black, blending in perfectly with the surrounding darkness. It was a creature of the night, a hunter who prowled the forest in search of prey.Slowly, the creature emerged from the shadows, its eyes fixed on the girl who stood before it. It transformed into a tall, muscular man with a rugged, handsome face. His dark black eyes and messy black hair gave him an intense look. She sensed danger as he stared into the darkness. Chills ran all over her body, and something crawled up her spine. But then she heard a human voice, and she hesitated, trying to listen to him.The voice spoke again, and this time she recognized his words. 'Enemies of humans are humans. We just love them,' he said in his deep voice as he leaned in to kiss her. As he kissed her lips, her body trembled. She felt a sc
[That man's POV][Car Horn]At the sound of the horn, she turned to see Altan, who had stopped his car near her. He smiled and waved. "What happened? Why haven't you gone yet?" He asked, seeing Esen standing alone outside the police station at that time of night."My car broke down. I called a tow truck to have it picked up," she said, looking at him with worried eyes and scratching the back of her neck. He nodded understandingly and said, unlocking the car, "Come on, I'll drop you home."Esen first looked at his black car, then looked at him, and shook her head in no. Looking at the other side of the road, she started waiting for someone to come. Altan got down from the car and forcibly took Esen's hand, making her sit in the car. As soon as he touched her, she recoiled with shock as if she had been electrocuted. Controlling the pace of her heart, she said, "How many times have I forbidden you not to hold my hand like this?" Her voice trembled with fear and anger."Why?" he looked in
[That man's POV]Two hours ago, Altan had dropped her off at home, but she was still smiling at the thought of him. The smell of his perfume and his touch still held her close. A noise from the window broke her train of thought and she snapped out of it.Even this weather is not known nowadays. No one knows when they change, she said angrily to herself and got up and slammed the window shut. She walked over to her desk and sat down, trying to regain her focus. The sound of rain tapping against the window was soothing, but it also made her feel uneasy.She looked at the clock and realized that she had been lost in thought for over an hour. She had work to do, but her mind was still wandering back to him. She took a deep breath and tried to clear her mind. She opened her laptop and started typing, but her thoughts kept drifting her back to Altan.Along with the thought of him, she also thought of her car. She patted her head lightly and got the phone, seeing that he still hadn't read he
[That man's POV]"Ouch!""What happened?" Esen asked Emily as she turned her head to look at her."I don't know, suddenly stomach pain started," she said while holding her stomach.Esen, who had been walking a little ahead lost in her thoughts, rushed over to her and said, "We are at the hospital now. Let's get you checked by a doctor. What did you eat for breakfast?""Nothing. I drank coffee on an empty stomach that Altan brought for you. Maybe that's why," said Emily, sitting down in pain."Are you not getting hunger pangs?" she asked Emily, worriedly."Earlier, I also thought that it was hunger pangs, but the pain has started to increase and spread around my body, almost like an electrical current running through me," she said in pain."Okay come on, try to walk a little bit," Esen tried to lift her up with support."No, no, I'm not going to the doctor. I think I'll be fine if I use the washroom," Emily said, refusing."Are you sure?" Esen asked, worriedly."Hmm!" She nodded yes, c
[That man's POV]"Hey Gran! What are you doing there? You will get tired standing by the window like this."Emily asked as she came home, and her grandmother was standing by the window. She put her arms around her grandmother's neck and kissed her forehead.Anastasia Jackson was Emily Jackson's grandmother and her only blood relation in this world. She was 70 years old but she looked 30 years old, very young and beautiful just like Emily.She took a look at her tired face and slapped her lovingly."Gran, I just arrived and you already started hitting me," she said, putting her hand on her back and making her sit on the couch. "How many times have I asked you to sleep whenever I come late? Just don't stand by the window like that. Now you are 70 years old, not that 17 anymore.""And how many times have I told you not to come home so late in the middle of the night like this. As time passes my heart beats very fast. I always get panic attacks because of you," Ms. Anastasia said, angrily
[That man's POV]In the late hours of the night, the half moon shone in the sky with full pride, reflecting off the dark waves in its light and casting a golden hue over everything that it touched. After the fight between the Alpha's Gravefur Pack and the Vanara Pack, it looked as if the world had been reborn after a bang. The howls of the wolves and the screeches of the Vanara Pack echoed through the air.The entire Nagosia Forest is filled with profound silence and peace at this time. The only sound is the rustling of the fallen leaves from the trees, on which the Alpha Altan is dragging his existence. He walks two steps and then stumbles and falls. He pants in pain, searching for something in the dim moonlight: the bottle of the virus sample that leads his fight with Alpha Lowell.He knew that the bottle had been dropped from his hands during the fight, and as far as he could remember, Alpha Lowell was not conscious enough to pick it up and leave. Suddenly, he fell after tripping o
[That man's POV]Coven House was dark and cold inside, with only red lights burning everywhere as if fires were lit in the middle of every room. The air was thick, hot, and stank of blood, clinging to everything like a mist. It wasn't something that could be wiped away by water – the scent remained even though someone bathed after. It was so strong one could almost taste it when they breathed. This coven was the stronghold of the Dark Shadow Coven, which, like the Gravefur Pack, was based on the East Coast.The Dark Shadow Coven has several ranks within specific positions, among Moroi vampires, that they earn through respect and deeds within vampire society. The Ace vampire is the Alpha of the vampire society, the Pawn vampire keeps the coven clean and tidy, the Knight vampire is the assassin of the coven because they usually turn to dust, the Rook vampire is the leading warrior of the coven, and the Bishop vampire is the healer of the coven as their blood increase healing in other va
