Chapter 1 The She Alpha and the Second prince

It's getting late but I don't want to go back to my pack yet. I calmly sat near the stream and enjoyed the soothing sound of nature. Even though I can't see, I can hear it all beautifully, the gentle breeze, the birds laying their nest and crickets lifting the mood.

As the only child of the Alpha of Blood Moon park, I inherited my Father's Alpha quality even though I'm a Female which was considered Rare and unique, but I was born blind, and that made me the biggest joke of my Park.

18 years of my life has been spent on proving my worth to everyone, including my parents. I was fine with it before but now I'm really tired.

[Selene! Where are you?].

I heard my mother speaking to me through the Mind link, I took in deep breaths and replied to her. "Don't worry, I didn't go far".

[Come back fast my dear, Your Dad needs you], She said. My brows wrinkled the minute I heard the worry in her voice, "I'm on my way", I replied to her and stood up. Something must have happened. I immediately shifted into my wolf form and ran fast into the woods.

"Help...".

I suddenly heard this voice like a whisper in head, making me to pause, this voice isn't from the mind link, then how?.

"He__lp".

I heard it again and felt extremely strange, A howl subconsciously escaped from me. Lena my wolf was trying to lead me elsewhere.

"Lena what's wrong?". I asked.

"I don't know but he needs us". She said briefly, and I let her take full control leading us to another route.

I felt my heart beat so loud that it was like my chest was about to explode. This feeling is so strange.

After running for a while Lena then stopped abruptly, it was then I noticed we had companies.

Three huge Black wolves with Amber red eyes stood before me aggressively.

Their amber eyes symbolize they are newly turned wolves, but my attention was drawn to something else, or should I say someone else.

I could see through Lena's eyes, a man layed lifeless on the ground with gruesome bruises on his body. My anger rose to the highest peak for a weird reason, Lena also felt the same way.

I immediately pounced on the Black wolves like I have been possessed and shred them to pieces. But I have to admit, this wolves were quite tough which is quite strange for newly turned wolves. I must report this to Father, but first I quickly rushed to his side.

Lena whimpered as we licked his bruises gently, my heart really hurt seeing him in this state.

"Ahhhh...". He suddenly grunted making us freeze.

I moved closer waiting for him to open his eyes, but he didn't so I gently used my paws to nudge him.

He took a sharp intake of air and opened his eyes.

"Mate". Lena and I growled the moment my orbs connected with his Silver eyes.

I can't believe this.... I've found my mate but he's a human? No he's not human. I changed my perception the minute I saw all his wounds heal themselves.

"What are you?". I asked but it came out as a growl.

He didn't say anything and just grunted in pain.

"Are you okay?". I asked again but it also came out as a growl. Thinking he couldn't understand I gave up trying to speak to him. I would have transformed back to my human form but that will just hinder me from seeing his Heavenly sculpted face.... I'd rather seize this opportunity.

ETHAN'S P.O.V

Tonight is the yearly ritual performed by we vampire's, but I couldn't be less bothered by that shit.... I just want to be left alone, after all there's nothing fun in sacrificing humans for stupid reasons.

I stood outside looking up to the starry sky as I drank in the beauty of the round moon, making me feel at peace inside.

"Ethan!".

I heard Emilia's voice and turned to her. "Mom...".

"Oh my goodness Ethan, why are you not dressed? The ritual is about to start... You have to be present". She lamented.

"Mom, you know very well, I don't care about stuffs like this". Before, I always try to comply because of her, but this time I've lost the zeal to pretend.

"Ethan just pls_". Before she could finish her sentence she was abruptly cut off by an annoying soul.

"Of course he doesn't care, he's not even a Vampire". This is no one but my Half brother Zeke.

But he's right, I'm not a full vampire neither am I a full werewolve... I'm just there.

100 years back, my Father the king of this Vampire empire, found his mate but unfortunately she was a werewolf. He couldn't resist the mate bond so he married her as his concubine.

That unfortunate werewolf is Emilia, my Mother.... And I am the result of their forbidden bond. I have both the blood of a vampire and werewolf running true my veins but I can neither transform into a wolf nor can I fully change into a vampire. I'm just there, with the abilities and two blood contradicting one another.

"Dad is asking of you!". Zeke said and left.

"Hurry go get dressed". Emilia nudged me with a pleading look.

For her sake I nodded, "Alright".

She beamed with joy, and wiped her tears, "Thank you...". She said.

I closed my eyes and hugged her, All my life I've been trying to prove myself as worthy son, even though I am a black sheep to my clan. All these years I didn't give up, thinking a miracle would happen making me fully acquire a true form, but reality hurts. I've been looked down upon by all, even the servants are more useful in the eyes of my own Father, only one person stood by me and supported me in every way..... Emelia, All I just want is the ability to protect her...... Nothing more.

"My son, I'm...". I know she's about to apologize again so I quickly cut her off. "Don't.... Please".

She raised her head and looked at mine, her silver orbs reflected so many emotions at once, Sadness, regret, joy.... Thank the stars I didn't miss it.

"I have to go now, be quick okay". She said and left.

At the royal palace, the king of vampire's from the East sat majestically on his Gigantic Golden throne embedded with millions of tiny black sculls screaming Authority!, with his Queen on his right hand side and his concubine by his left.

The whole palace was lit by millions of red candles, emitting a dangerous aura. The ceremony commenced with Luvian dancers, they are the lowest sect in the Vampire empire with their power of enchanting.

They were barely naked, only using a piece of black linen to cover their private area, while their breasts were designed with large tattoos of skulls. The music started and their fair bodies moved with it, their slender waist and attractive legs made the men mouth's water.

Servants then entered with Trays of Glasses filled with fresh blood. Everyone received their glass but they all waited for their king's order before they could gulp it down.

Nickolas the all powerful king, enjoyed the enchanting dance of the Luvians before he raised his golden glass up and roared, "Let the ritual commence!!".

The vamps roared in agreement and gulped down their glasses, but they were interupted by the sudden opening of the gigantic door.

Their attention was diverted as they all turned to the door, to see who has the guts to disturb the king, and to everyone's surprise it is the Second prince...... Prince Ethan.

I entered the palace and was welcomed by the purgent smell of fresh blood, I couldn't help but scrunch up my nose in disgust, it was then I noticed everybody's attention on me. They all gawked at me like I'm their food.

I ignored all their hungry eyes and walked to my father. With a slight bow I greeted him. "Greetings Father".

"What took you so long ". Nickolas responded.

"I was busy". I didn't bother to explain myself.

Nickolas looked at his son in rage, but dismissed him the next second with a wave of his hands.

I quietly sat down and watched the activities, just as I was getting bored of this shit. I sighted nine humans dragged in by the ritual elders.

They were layed on the ground like fishes about to be grilled. It was then I heard their heartbeat and my eyes widened in realization.

"Werewolves!". I said out loud and immediately looked at my father. The evil smirk on his face made it clear that he was doing this on purpose.

My gaze immediately darted to Emilia. Her hands was tightly clenched as she gently wiped her tears. Rage filled me instantly.

"Father, why werewolves?". I stood up and asked. If I remember clearly it has always been humans with crimes that are used for this ritual, since when did that change.

"Ethan". Emelia pleaded for me to sit back down but I ignored her.

Nickolas looked at his son and smirked. "This wolves trespassed on my territory, what could be more better than using them as the sacrifice.....". He said and let out a loud laugh, but that sent chills down everyone's back.

"Apologies my king.... Ethan is just a little too emotional". Emelia pleaded immediately.

Nickolas ignored her and ordered, "Begin!!".

DUM! DUM! DUM!

The ritual drums were beaten thrice repeatedly as the heads of the werewolves were crushed by gigantic axes.

I shut my eyes in rage, as realization dawned upon me, No matter what, I can't protect those I care for..... Am I that useless?.

I suddenly turned and headed for the door with speed just like lightning. I couldn't think straight, my head, mind and heart was colluded with rage. I just ran with no exact destination.

Nickolas ignored the disturbance and continued the ritual, and everybody except Emelia did the same.

I kept on running until a loud howl stopped me in my tracks, I then slowly came back to my senses.

"The Fuck!". I exclaimed when I examined my surroundings, where am I?.

My heightened senses suddenly picked up a movement from the thick woods. "Who's there?!!". I asked high on alert.

The rumbles from the woods became louder as a large black wolf with red eyes pounced out, and stood mighty before me.

Their red eyes explains they are newly turned wolves but what are they doing near the vampire empire?.

Before I could complete my thoughts the Black wolf in the middle launched at me ferociously with his sharp claws out stretched.

With my speed, I doged the attack and swiftly flipped myself in the air making me land on its back, I quickly reached for the dagger in my boots and jabbed it by its neck.

Awwooooooooooo!!!

The wolf whimpered before going berserk. The other wolves took it as a sign and attacked me immediately.

I pulled out my dagger and got off its back, just as I was about to attack the other wolves I suddenly felt a sharp pain on my left leg.

"Arghh!!". I groaned when I saw the wolf I just jabbed trying to chew off my flesh.

With no mercy I pierced the dagger through it's head and pushed it away, then I continuously dodged the attack of the two wolves.

Then suddenly I felt a burning sensation from within, it hurts so bad that I couldn't move. I looked down at my leg and discovered it wasn't healing it was then I started to worry. Although I cannot fully take a form, I still have the abilities of both a wolf and a vampire, which includes a quick healing, but at this point the wound is not even healing slowly instead it's worsening.

My legs completely went numb making me fall to the ground. The wolves took this opportunity and attacked me continuously, i tried so hard to move away but it seems like my nerves were completely shut down.

My vision suddenly became blurry as I was enveloped in darkness, "Help". I whispered with my last consciousness, even though I know no one will come to my rescue.

"He...lp". I said again before finally giving in to darkness.

Grapes and wet lavenders, that's the smell that brought back my conciousness. Then I felt a wet sensation down my hurting leg, making me struggle to open my eyes.
