Lyne looked into those brown eyes and she could see through him. She didn't know why but Zeidan immediately seemed transparent. They were intimately close to each other in the quiet enclosed place in the palace and given how close their room is, it was easier to kiss this handsome man and retreat into the room. She could give anything to do that.No, she couldn't possibly give it a chance. She shifted on one leg as she stared hard at him and exhaled audibly."But..."Rubbing the back of her head slightly and unconsciously noticing the absence of pain, she looked at him again. She could have picked someone more attractive or of a more prestigious title than Zeidan's but somehow she wondered if by now, she would follow any other man home no matter how attractive he is other than the man before her. The way he touches her that makes her want to melt, or his eyes that seemed to render her speechless and give her a rushed feeling. Someone else who would be given the chance to marry would h
It was still night; almost midnight, when Zeidan decided to scan the city since he has been informed that the vampire city has been surrounded by Werecats. Pulling his cloak around him, he checked himself in the mirror and concluded that all was set.He knew his city was on fire but sorting it out with impatience can only cost him his people's lives. The stars were no longer visible and the moon seem blurred. A perfect time to strike. Transforming into a v-shaped face with tough skin vampire and his eyes turning pure black, he moved out of his room and made for the city alone.He walked past the quiet surrounding of the royal mansion and walked out into the straight road that led to a bridge in the middle of a forest. On that bridge, one could oversee the city. He snorted and gritted his two long canine teeth, ready to attack. Getting to the bridge, he let out his eagle eyes around the perimeter of the city. In one part where a stream passed in between mountain steeps and farther away
"Zeidan !!!" Lyne screamed as she saw that he had been stabbed. He had survived a deadly bite. How could he not survive a sword wound? She looked up at who had stabbed him and she saw the ninja again. The place where she had stabbed her was still visible and her cloak was soaked in blood. Her eyes were puffed and red as she looked at Zeidan on the floor, obviously unconscious or maybe dead. Her heart did a triple summersault at the thought. What would become of her? "How interesting?" The voice behind the cloak said as she moved towards her. She dragged herself backward, not knowing what would befall her. However, she wished so much that she died as well as Zeidan was dead. What would life mean to her without him?"He is most vulnerable around you. I realized that, so I couldn't die without making sure that I take him along.""Take him along? What do you mean?" She asked, voice shaking."He deserved to die, just like you do too.""I didn't do anything to you. I freed you from your
Lyne sat on the floor, placing Zeidan's head on her chest as she kept sobbing. Rubbing his head in circles and hoping he was okay. She tore a part of her dress, tears rolling down her cheeks and soiling her dress. She was sweating despite the cool air around. Pressing the cloth on the sword wound, she got a reaction from Zeidan who coughed and looked like he had just woken up from consciousness. "Zeidan? Zeidan!" She had never been so happy as she saw him open his eyes weakly."What has been going on, arrogant Queen?" Zeidan teased as he smiled, getting a light tap from Lyne.But she doesn't care. All that mattered is this man in her arms. "You scared me, Zeidan." She whispered."And you inspire me, Lyne." He placed a hand on her face, which he brought down to kiss her cheeks. Lyne chuckled and blushed slightly, not minding the blood smeared on her cheeks. Instead, she turned her face and kissed his lips in full. Zeidan tried holding back but she wasn't and she missed him with her
Sweet, Lyne thought she could manage being without Zeidan and her feelings for him were just illusions. For the past few months, everything he had done had been considerate, practical, and caring, with his action always careful. Why then did he not defend her during his discussion with Luana?"I guess you didn't wait to watch till the end." She heard his voice right behind her and she could see his face show up from her shoulder through the mirror.He must have read her thoughts and instead of it annoying her, she smiled as if amused."I don't think I have to watch till the end to know now that you didn't mean all of those."Zeidan inhaled deeply and dug his hands into his pockets, eyes thoughtful."What made you go to the temple?" He inquired."I... I needed to confirm something.""What?""The day you showed me the temple and I saw the blood-stained picture of a man holding a lamb, I had this feeling that the stain isn't a hundred years old like you told me...""It has been there rig
Zeidan continued his work of adoring his beautiful wife. Doing things he had dreamt a thousand times. What he always wished to do whenever he saw her. His comportment kicked apart and he made sure everything he did was with care and borne out of his love for her. And this woman felt the same about him. She was touching him already and he couldn't resist because he didn't want to. She pulled apart the zipper on his trouser, her hand slightly brushing his hard member. Her hands cupped him and caressed him with shocking confidence. he never would have thought she had, and he moaned with the sheer sensation of her touch.His lips crushed hers in a frantic greeting of hunger and desire and she met him with the same energy. Without words said, they both acknowledged the need for more than just mere release and he did well to turn his kiss into a slow, careful promise of a future that included her. His mouth caressed her body and the hard length of him pressed against her.His hands were ov
The sun rose lazily but the rain had stopped falling. The day struggled to break free from the gathered clouds and paved the way for the sun to dry up the wet grounds.Luana maneuvered herself and her horse through the rocky paths that led to the big building, her heart heavy and thrown in confusion. She tried to believe Zeidan was doing this to make Lyne feel wanted at least and not because of anything else but she just couldn't keep it in her mind. She stormed her way through to Lyne's room. It's high time she knows her place and stops thinking she can have a place in Zeidan's heart.From afar, she could see a few guards standing about five feet away from her room, all standing at attention and she knew immediately that Zeidan is inside with her. She made to enter but was shocked when two of the guards crossed their spears to stop her from going inside."What the heck is going on?" She asked, her gaze hardened as if the guards were beginning to forget who she is."You're not stoppin
"Open your eyes." She heard the hushed voice order her and as if she was being controlled, her eyes flung open. What she saw made her gasp.A tall white wolf looked down at her, its blue eyes the most beautiful ones she has ever seen. It looked like the one that had shown up to her the night she first kissed Zeidan but this time, it looked more calm and happy than threatening. It was a Luna. Her white fur covered her body and she could swear she saw it glitter. She made to touch it but it faded away into the dark with a howl and the hushed voice said again."Thank you for freeing me."By the time she would open her eyes, it was already getting close to sunset. She slowly opened her eyelids and was met with the delicious smell of Maine lobster rolls, tamale pie, and macaroni salad. Placing her hand behind her, Lyne realized Zeidan was no longer there. Had he gone outside to order the maids to cook food? She sat up and memories of that morning came rushing, lifting her mouth in a smile.
Sometimes when one thinks of the past, moving forward to the future seems hard for them. Every night, Dad would always come to tell me tales of how they fought with a magical stone called the Onyx. He said it was what brought us together as clans all over the lands, excluding the Werecats. The breeze blew my light brown hair which was slowly bleaching into blonde like my mom's as I kept writing my journal. Although I still haven't believed there was any such thing as magic, I still needed to find out. I jumped down the fence, in my leather top and jacket with boots, my two long swords clasped to my back as I walked back to the training field. I looked at the people fighting and some bowing to me. With pride and elegance, I swerved my hips past the boys, while my four friends followed from each side. Tracy, Eretria, Romena, and Sasha. Two of them were hot blonde chicks in their mid-twenties, while the other two were brunettes. We are the Angel Squad and we rule the United Clan Train
"What's wrong, Lyne?" Zeidan asked looking up at her. She now had strange eyes and he wondered if she still recognizes him. Lyne opened her hand and he could see the Onyx on her palm, green and glowing. But that wasn't the problem. The problem was Lyne's nose bleeding and her eyes returning to normal. His hands quivered and loosened around Luana which made her grab the opportunity and kicked him in the stomach while he tended to it, she kicked him in the face turned, and stabbed his stomach with a knife.Awareness dawned on him as the object sank into him. He looked at Luana with shock and his eyes were getting blurry."You had every chance to be happy with me. But you ruined it all." Luana said and further twisted the knife inside of him, making him scream out.Lyne still lay on the floor, bleeding from her nose. He gasped and was finally released so that he could sit on the floor, weak and helpless. He raised his arm but no help came. "Die, Zeidan. Goodbye." Luana left him with Sh
Lyne looked at Luana, a smile curving her lips as she resolved to fight with all her might no matter how good she may be at magic. Or using the Onyx, but she sure is good with her claws. She stretched her fingers, eyes intent on Luana whose black eyes were also fixed on her. As they both snarled at each other, they also did the same with the charge and attack. Lyne swooshed her claws at Luana's face which she moved slightly backward to avoid and in turn twirled on her heels and hit her stomach with her knee. She bent and held on to her stomach as she felt the sharpness but only for a while before she was back on her feet. Luana threw a punch from the left to the right side which she dodged and grabbed her wrist, then right to the left and she grabbed the second wrist too, then holding both wrists captive, Lyne hit her forehead with hers, not minding the resounding bang she felt. Luana cried out and she released her so she could nurse her bleeding forehead. "You bastard!" Luana swo
With blazing eyes and a torn-apart soul, Lyne glared at Luana and the stone in her hand. "You know, if I were you, as a mother who has empathy for her daughter," Luana began to say as she walked in circles around Lyne. "I'd dive into that water and save my baby." Lyne looked back at her daughter who was still afloat, her tiny arms unable to hold her on the surface for long. "You may have won this time but not next time," Lyne hissed, looking into Luana's eyeball. "And that next time is soon."With that, she jumped into the water and swam her way to her daughter, arms and legs fluttering the strong current. She grabbed her daughter by the waist and held her tight to her body, swimming back to the shore. She climbed back to the surface and bent to check her daughter who sat on the floor, weak. "My baby." She muttered, hands running over Aurora's face and body. "Are you okay?" Aurora breathed heavily. Lyne felt guilty. She was the reason her daughter passed through all these. If she
Shelbrooke was too engrossed in staring at Lyne that he was unaware when Zeidan turned and grabbed his ankle making him fall. As Reyns moved to attack him, Zeidan grabbed his spear on the floor and pointed it at Reyns who chuckled and drew out his long swords."I'm sorry that you got played not once but twice, Zeidan. However, we can't blame you but the bitch that always thought she saw the good in you." Reyns said as they turned to the center of the field, each of them stretching their weapons at the other."I didn't ask her to find the good in me. I was already good to myself." Zeidan replied, his eyes not leaving Reyns and his swords."Then, it's obvious, you had her under your magical spell. Once we have the Onyx, I'll have the power to break that stupid spell you placed on her." Zeidan huffed. "Admit it. You like her and you're just afraid that she'll reject you if you let your true intention known." The other man held on tightly to his swords now stepping forward. "That's neve
Amber and Effinton stood gallant in front of Lyne and Zeidan, already in their fighting wear. Amber was placed as leader of the archery team since Chloe had died. She was also as good as the former leader, which makes it a win-win situation. Effinton also wore his black leather suit and pants with his boot heels. They all stood at the council table, all focused on the map before them."We need to come up with a better strategy than before. A unique one that will disassemble pure enemies before they even get closer to the field that separates Vampire city from the rest of the clans." Effinton spoke up and Zeidan nodded."You're right. But what do we come up with? We have exhausted the rest of our strategies on past wars." Zeidan replied but Lyne was seeing a different thing."Maybe we don't need a new strategy but ones we have used before and can put together to fight. They won't know what hits them by the time we strike.""I think the Queen is right," Amber spoke up, pointing to a sm
Shelbrooke moved forward, his steps cautious. The rest of the team geared up, some of them suddenly shifting. Luana let out her claws and Lyne snarled at them, her strong sharp teeth revealed. "I must say I'm quite amassed by your bravery and confidence. I mean, you even managed to come into his den." Luana said, walking behind Shelbrooke, her eyes turning black."Don't tell me you're thinking about lifting a finger because I won't hesitate to draw life out of you." Lyne threatened, gritting her teeth. Shelbrooke roared, his voice booming in the cave."You lose girl." He snorted and rushed towards her. Lyne jumped up and landed behind them, turning sharply when she heard Shelbrooke order the others. "Let her be guys. I know how to handle her." She snarled at him, eyes catching her father's body from the corner of her eyes. "Bring it on." Shelbrooke hopped on her but she turned sharply and hit him head-on, her teeth sinking into his neck. A painful cat cry pierced the cave and he
Lyne received the letter from Amber, tore off the pin that held them together, and read it. When she was done, she looked back at Zeidan who stood behind her. His men were busy clearing the palace but when he saw the look in her eyes, he ordered for the both of them to be left alone. When they had gone, Zeidan moved close to her."What does it say?" He asked and she raised her blue gaze at him."They want me to come to South Park."He frowned. Yes, news reached them about Lyne's arrival but why would they need her to come to visit them? He had thought Styx would come to visit her. Perhaps, he didn't try to because he doesn't care any longer or he thought it was fake news."Why?""It says here that they want me to become the Alpha.""For South Park?"Lyne nodded but she still has worry written all over her face. She should be happy about it."This is unusual. Charles wasn't supposed to like this. He had been clamoring for that position for as long as I can remember. He should get it a
Maya exhaled audibly as she stared at the body of the man she had just finished killing. Before her, bodies lay on the floor and she could see Shelbrooke and Reyns looking at her in admiration. "I have a request to make, however," Shelbrooke said and she glanced at him."What request?" She asked still shaken from the fight. This was weird. She never gets weak, no matter how many people she kills, but then it dawned on her. Her time is up. "Remove your cover," Shelbrooke said."What?" Maya exclaimed."We need to see your face." Reyns chipped in and she felt all their gazes on her at once.What was the point? She had been hiding her face for a long while and her time is almost up. She touched the edge of the fabric, looking up at Shelbrooke. Images of what had happened the other day came rushing back. The grounds shook and it was daytime already. No one could go to the surface to survive the blast as the sun was up. Going to the surface at that time would only cause their death, fast
