2024-10-29 19:42:56Like the previous time, Margaret fell to her knees and grunted in anguish. Tate knelt before her and pulled her into his chest, increasing the intensity of the sparks and hoping that it would soothe some of the pain. It did.
Margaret felt less uncomfortable the moment the sparks intensified, and she focused on the vision that her wolf was seeing. She and everyone else around her were in a dimly lit space, and there was something…suspicious about the surroundings. Before Margaret could get anymore information, the vision ended.
That was it? Her rosewood eyes blinked in disbelief, and her awareness brought her back to the present moment. Everyone formed a circle around her and Tate, giving Margaret enough room to breathe but also allow them a good enough look at her. Tate was stroking her shoulder with his thumb, and his scent comf

Pellethia held the scroll and read aloud, “Only the creatures willing to go through any lengths to protect those who need protection most shall inherit the Forest of Oderem.” At the end of it was a signature that vampires had only ever seen in museums - the signature of Count Dracula. Greg’s eyes went back to the ceiling before the pessimistic part of him spoke, “I wonder how the inhabitants planted it there.” A shade of suspicion entered Pellethia’s eyes of wonder as she turned to Greg and asked, “You really think those who hid here put this there, Your Grace?” His eyes were still stuck on the ceiling when he replied, “I don’t know. I’m not well-versed in…forest magic.”

Greg then joined the others at the partition. He felt the grill with his hand and murmured, “It feels…new.” Tate uttered, “Even where we’re standing feels new compared to the ground inside. Wherever this leads to, this tunnel was a recent plan.” Lucianne went to the far left, and stepped on boulders on the side, supporting herself with the grill as she stepped higher up to look for any strings, ropes or anything that may be triggered if the grill gate was tampered with. Her husband sprinted over with wide eyes, and held her lower back as he frantically whisper-yelled, “Lucy, you could’ve asked me to do that!” “I’m fine, Xandar. I’m just climbing.” She then spoke to the others all at once, “You guys don

Two vigils and one minister were unconscious because they stood too close to one of the lightbulbs in a room when the lightbulbs exploded, and inhaled too much of the scent. Another twenty of them were nearing that stage as well. Pellethia and Octavia were weakened but were the least affected since they were the firsts to be brought out. Just then, the forest exuded a lemony scent, and it appeared to be soothing the stinging sensation, reducing into a prickling one before the discomfort disappeared completely. One by one, the vampires tried to get up on their own with the wolves and lycans by their side to support them should they fall halfway. It was astounding that none of them needed that support when they couldn’t even move less than two minutes before. Still, most of them sat back down because they felt that their insides we

Ivory put on contact lenses and used concealer to hide his scar, and Greg wore shades and a hoodie before the two took a subway to the stop at the Primordial station, which was only a thirty-minute drive from Xandar and Lucianne’s residence.After stepping on the platform and using the loo to kill time while waiting for the crowd to disperse, they entered the elevator that was designed to only go up. The moment Greg slid a plain white card into the slit between the closed doors, the built-in scanner of the doors granted access. The pale yellow lights in the lift turned pale blue, and the lift descended.Once the doors opened, Greg removed the hoodie and adjusted his formal wear that he was wearing underneath, and Ivory rubbed off some of the concealer and proudly put on his eyepatch. The row of cabs were there, and Greg a

Greg and Ivory got back into the cab and went straight to the address Nash just gave him. They reached the factory within forty-five minutes. When they got off and stepped towards the entrance, the two guards glowered at the duke and his follower. With an unperturbed expression, Greg announced, “I’m here to see Ruby Lyworth.” “Ms Lyworth did not mention any visits or appointments being scheduled today.” “Tell her that Greg Claw demands an immediate appointment.” Greg’s name got the guards on full alert. The duke, on the other hand, was insulted. How could there still be creatures who didn’t know what he looked like? The rogue world wasn’t even that big…alright, in all fairness, it did expand over the years, but shouldn’t these newcomers at least know the face of the person who was in-charge here? He hadn’t even been gone for a year! Sensing their hesitation, Greg murmured in a low, homicidal tone, “You have one minute to get me an appointment, or I kill you both, and if you have f

Lucianne’s lycan was practically scratching its face when they knew that Greg and Ivory had started executing the plan. Her eyes would go to the wall clock every few seconds, despite the stack of files she deliberately placed in the middle of her office desk when she thought that would keep her mind properly occupied while she waited for the time to pass. She envied how well Reida was sleeping in the baby cot at the left corner. Saying that Lucianne was worried would be an understatement. She started regretting not forcing Greg to take Desmond, Hailey and Alissa as back-up, though she doubted he would. Too many creatures would make him look desperate, and that vulnerable trait couldn’t be shown in any business negotiations in the kingdom, let alone in the rogue world. Xandar made her a cup of tea and took a chocolate bar out of t

In the new hideout, Gerella had just explained to the kids (again) that they couldn’t go out to play yet because the weather wasn’t good. The truth was they were never going out to play now that they were hatching yet another escape route. After reporting to Saxum about the food supply, Gerella went for a stroll in the forest. She was enjoying the coolness and the peace of the greenery in her invisible form. Then, she heard something. A rhythm. Lup-di-duh-di-dup. Over and over again. It was the most beautiful sound that she’d ever heard. But where was it coming from? There wasn’t a soul in sight, unless this was another discretus? Was she hearing the bodily fluid of the mate their Lord had bonded her to? Gerella was excited but also nervous. She followed the sound, and found herself walking towards the beach, the very location Sa
The Rogues Who Went Rogue Chapter 98
Gerella’s fairytale moment came to an end as well, and she wished she could just disappear but her ability seemed to be denying her request, so she stayed fully visible as she glanced back into the forest. “Part of those who are involved are basically my family, Toby. We're...not related by blood, but they're family nonetheless. You can’t just ask me to give them up.” “Why does your family want to challenge the Queen’s Authority? If you wanted a place in the kingdom, all any of you had to do was ask. I doubt Xandar and Lucy would mind.” “Xandar and Lucy?” “The king and queen. She’s the same queen whose power your family is trying to challenge,” he tried not to sound too harsh but that did come out somewhat accusatory.

As he gently took the baby girl from her mother, everyone braced themselves for the deafening screams that would usually follow. But what came next was just soft coos as Enora leaned against her uncle’s shoulder, resting her head there with a soft smile. After a few quiet moments, Greg glanced at the child before looking back at Xandar and Lucianne when he questioned, “What did you two feed her this morning? What sorcery is this?” Christian had a theory, which he shared as he walked over to Greg, “Maybe she’s starting to warm up to us. Let me try.” As soon as Greg reluctantly detached Enora from his shoulder and the baby realized that she was going to a different adult that was neither one of her parents, she screamed and started tearing up as she pressed herself again

The ceremony to return the title was held in the abandoned castle next to the Forest of Oderem. Pellethia had an unexplainable feeling that it had to be there, as did Lucianne. When the servants went to have the place cleaned up, all praying that they weren’t going to encounter anything out of the ordinary when they did their job, two among the sixty cleaners entered a room on the highest floor that was covered with a very thick layer of dirt and dust. When the two servants assigned to clean this particular room opened the windows to let in some air, a dash of breeze came from the forest and blew at a part of the dirt on the floor, making the poor servants flinch before instinctively holding each other as they quivered in fear. When nothing happened for the next few moments, they slowly released their hold of each other. Th

Gerella walked gracefully down the aisle, and while all eyes were on her, her sights stuck to her groom who looked like he was close to tears as he beamed at her. When she reached him, he offered her his hand to help her onto the platform. The music stopped, and the guests took their seats once more. After the marriage officiant recited from the Scriptures of Matrimony, he announced that it was time for the exchange of vows. Toby began, “Ella, from the moment we met, I knew that my life was never going to be the same again. Not only can I now boast about being the only one among my friends to get the most beautiful hybrid for a wife, your mark practically gave me the license to also gloat about being able to see a discretus when they cannot. You have no idea how much fun I’m going to have lying about a discretus’s presence when we’re training.”

7 weeks later “I’ve actually already had two. They taste pretty good.” Toby told Lucianne as they stood by the table with the trays of cupcakes. He then added, “I’m glad she decided to start a business out of this. Her baking skills are fantastic!” Hailey made those cupcakes. She was now a probationary kindergarten teacher on weekdays and a baker on weekends. She and the other mavericks still worked for Greg, but they were free to indulge in their hobbies and passions when they didn't have maverick duties. Some even pursued career paths that earned a salary the 'normal' way. Jade opened a cyber café which attracted lots of youngsters, and Hailey baked cupcakes or made pastries to sell to Jade’s customers. She offered him a small percentage of her earnings for his space. Some even came in just to buy her baked goods.

After Margaret managed to compose herself, she cleared her throat, looked into Tate’s eyes that held so much love and assurance, and began reciting her own set of vows, “Tate, when we met, I thought that our bond wasn’t going to last. I thought that a rejection would follow, from you or me, or even from the both of us. You haven’t the faintest clue of how relieved and happy I am that I’ve been proven wrong. Very wrong.” “I was wrong to think that our bond is a mistake; I was wrong to judge you based on the title you inherited; and I was wrong to think that you could never love me the way I didn’t know I needed to be loved. Never in my wildest dreams could I’ve imagined falling in love again, and never did I think it was someone as perfect as you are, Tate. I held so much hate from my past, carrying it throughout my life, even scaring away a few acquaintances with my untamable inferno, yet y

The Alpha of White Blood got cheers and claps even before the bride emerged. He was pleased to see that his pack members were not giving the vampire guests odd looks, and he was proud that, when he raised this matter with everyone weeks before the wedding, they seemed more excited and welcoming than reluctant and disapproving. What surprised him most was that the vampires didn’t sit at one place, but were scattered among the wolf and lycan guests. The Alpha wanted the integration but he definitely didn’t expect to get it this soon. Tate took a good look around to commit the sight before him to memory - the memory of his closest friends and pack members here to celebrate his and Margaret’s special day. When his eyes fell on Lucianne, she linked, ‘Margaret’s more t

3 months laterAlissa was pulling Gabriel by his arm through the rows of white, yellow and beige flowers in a nature park where Tate and Margaret decided to have their wedding ceremony. In the sea of White Blood pack members, Alissa finally found the creature she was looking for.“My Queen, this is Gabriel, my second-chance mate and husband. Gabriel, this is our queen.” Alissa said with the widest smile that Lucianne had ever seen. Alissa and Gabriel tied the knot two months ago in the marriage registrar’s office, with only the attendance of her triplets, Gabriel’s brother, Greg, Hailey, Desmond and Ivory.Lucianne smiled warmly at the nervous-looking man in a tuxedo. “Well, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you, Gabriel.

Alissa’s furrowed brows and puzzled eyes shifted to the door, and her defensive instincts kicked in. She extracted the hard drive from her laptop and slid it into the custom-sewn compartment in her jeans. Reaching for the loaded gun and heading for the door, she tried to guess who that could be. The property was bought under an alias. Her landlady never came up in the last ten years she stayed here. Greg and the others usually gave her a heads-up before dropping by.She looked through the keyhole to see if she was able to get anything from the slit. All she saw was a sand-color shirt. She was also picking up a delightful yet somewhat familiar scent of oak and rain. The knock came again. She pressed her ear to the door, where she heard a heavy sigh before something was placed on the floor as the footsteps retreated.Alissa waite
