He ran for a few more minutes, glad to feel himself getting closer to the boundary of the Blodinek kingdom. The money he entered then he would be safe and could easily disappear. These thoughts were still going through his mind as he ran when suddenly sniffed the air with a look of alarm in his tone.“Werewolf blood…” his eyes widened in slight alarm, quickly coming to the conclusion that there had been a bloody fight not far away. “Are there vampires over there?” he thought curious enough to want to deviate from the path he currently took but was too careful to suddenly do such a thing.The frown on his face grew bigger, the more he ran when he noticed that instead of getting fainter, the smell of a strong werewolf seemed to come closer to him.Unable to take it any longer, he came to a standstill, gripping Hurai as tightly as he could to himself, placing a shiny blade around her neck, one that made Hurai instantly stiffen up, unaware of anything but the cold hard metal lying agains
Kal stood some feet away, his eyes on Allen, trying to reign in the violent thoughts that erupted as he watched him touch Hurai. It was obvious to him and everyone there that Allen cared for Hurai and not in the way a Knight cared for their master.He continued to stand there silently when he suddenly heard Fera speak to him.“It's good and surprising to see you here Prince Kal. Thank you for saving my sister,” Fera said while wondering why Kal was also in the forest. She was glad that Hurai was now safe, but also not glad that it had been Kal, the one she was engaged to who had done the saving.It wasn't like she cared for him, but since he was engaged to her, she saw him more as hers than someone belonging to her sister.“I was passing by when I heard the commotion,” Kal responded, seeing from Hurai’s distant behavior that she absolutely wanted nothing to do with him.“Really…cause a while ago I actually saw someone having a light picnic with my sister by a small pond,” Fera mentione
“Allen?” Lozia asked, trying to confirm that he was the person Fera was referring to“Yeah. I don't trust him. He sticks too close to her,”“Don’t I still close to you too,” Lozia thought, not daring to say his thoughts out loud.“Were you able to deliver the letter?” Fera suddenly asked, remembering the main reason Lozia was away in the first place.“Yeah, they got the letter,” Lozia replied. The last thing he wanted to describe was the shameful way it had been stolen from him.Fera simply nodded, walking even faster than before in the direction of the palace. All she wanted to do was get back to her room and toss away the riding clothes that she wore, coupled with the memories of today.Hurai and Allen were the first to get back to their quarters, with Allen carrying Hurai in his arms and racing back to her quarters at full speed.He didn’t drop her back on her feet until they got back to her room.“Thanks, Allen. You can leave now,” Hurai said with a tired expression on her face, wa
Breakfast the next day between King Horansi and his family and that of King Locan and his own was pretty quiet until someone broke the silence.Her voice was loud and clear enough for everyone to hear.“Father…” Hurai began, watching King Horansi’s gaze land and stay on her, a little surprised to see the determined gaze with which Hurai looked at him.“Father…I would like to train with the knights,” Hurai finally said. Her eyes were resolute, saying all she wanted in one breath, watching her father the king squint his eyes a little in displeasure.Fera sitting beside Hurai was still reeling from the shock she had just experienced at listening to Hurai ask their father for permission to train.The first reason was that even if they were vampires they were also princesses and the most likely response they would get is no.The second is the fact Hurai dared to ask him such a request unexpectedly and in front of everyone.Wasn’t she afraid of being rejected, Fera thought, turning her face
Not knowing what else to do about the error she had made, she decided to brush it off and simply went ahead to sit down.She had long ago come to terms with the fact that her father didn’t favor her, so continuing to try to get in his good graces was a lost cause.Seeing her sister Hurai get what she wanted, San seeing that her father was already preparing to leave the hall, Fera decided that she couldn’t let such an opportunity go.At first, she wanted to stay quiet with the intention of asking him in private to gain more of his favor but the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the possibility of him saying no was too high for her to let go of an opportunity to get closer to Kal.“Father…” Fera said, jumping to her feet.If King Horansi hadn’t been conscious of his identity as king, he would have groaned out loud simply because of how annoyed he currently felt at that moment.“Ha…ha. Perfect!” King Locan belted out loud with a grin on his face as he looked favorably at F
Darun walked as quickly as he could in the direction of his quarters, wanting nothing more than to be alone, before he had to go and watch his sister's train.While he walked he was slightly distracted, more focused on his thoughts that he was unaware of when someone suddenly grabbed his hands and pulled him to the side and into a narrow corridor that was completely different from where he was headed.“What the…” Darun swore, shocked that someone would treat him in such a way but that was until his eyes landed on Geran’s face pulling Darun’s body close to his chest.Instantly Darun reacted with a pissed-off look on his face, as he struggled to separate himself from the crazy vampire standing in front of him.“ARE YOU mad?” Darun began helping, instantly reducing his tone to a whisper the second he realized that the last thing he wanted was for the servants to see him and Geran in such a position.“Truthfully…I think I’m heading there,” Geran responded with a sincere expression on his f
“What? What else do you want?” Darun seethed in anger, no longer seeing any reason to hide it.“Isn’t yours next year?” Geran asked mostly out of plain curiosity since he thought that only his twin sister's ceremony was coming up.“I’m bringing it forward, apparently I’ll be joining the war,” Darun replied, feeling a bitter taste in his mouth at the mention of war.“Isn’t that dangerous?” Geran asked with a highly concerned look on his face when he said it. He knew that there were rules and from the annoyed look on Darun’s face, he felt that the decision about bringing it forward was most likely not made by him.Geran’s question though and the look of concern on his face only served to piss Darun off the most.“If I didn’t know better I’d think that he cared about me,” Darun thought, his face squeezing up into a deep frown.“I’ll be fine. I’ll fulfill my promise after that,” Darun said, looking up to meet Geran’s eyes as he spoke.He had a completely serious look on his face, one that
Kal spent most of his time trying to figure out the best way to ensure that Geran was no longer engaged to Hurai but to him.The engagement party was in three days, and Kal needed to do it before then. If he did it after the ceremony it would be so much harder than before.The engagement wasn’t simply an engagement both to vampires and werewolves. It was almost as important as being officially married or mated to one’s partner.There were many ideas that he came up with only to settle for the most unethical one he could think of.He needed to make Geran sleep with Fera. Normally it wouldn’t be difficult to achieve since he didn’t particularly care who he slept with but from spying on his brother, he had noticed how he rarely slept with anyone anymore.This made Kal wonder who he was secretly sleeping with and if not, why he had suddenly become celibate.To achieve this, the simple plan he could come up with was to make Fera drink an aphrodisiac and have her be in a room with Geran.He
"As long as she's still breathing she'll be fine," Lozia said but Hurai simply shook her head, doing her best to stop the tears that had pooled in her eyes from sliding out and down her cheeks."She is dying." Hurai thought, knowing enough to know that her injuries were too severe for her to live with no doctor in sight.*******************The Alliance Ball.The ball had been publicized for weeks and the venue was set for the huge palace in the valley forest.Everyone was invited and the hall was peacefully divided into three, one for each Kingdom.**************On the far left- The Kingdom of Lunera."Who has ever heard of a female king? Women are Luna's and they've always been,""That's not the worst. I heard that she wasn't even the one that killed the former king, her father,""What's worse is the fact that Our King felt the need to collude with our long enemies the vampires, in this sham of an alliance,""That's not even why I came. I came because I heard that the prince is stil
Just because he could no longer transform in the meantime, didn't mean he was completely helpless, even though being in wolf form was more advantageous."Talking about killing me right to my face," Horansi fiercely glared at them all as he spoke."Then you should all continue the conversation in the afterlife,"The moment Horansi was done talking and no longer saw any reason to continue, he gripped his sword as hard as he could and he attacked.Without hesitating or showing a trace of fear on his face. He picked up one of the two swords on the ground and Instantly moved toward Horansi as he attacked.Hurai was still pissed off at Allen's actions of hurting Fera, but she was also thankful for his presence. Without him, both of them would surely have been dead.As quickly as she could, Hurai dressed up Fera's wounds by merely wrapping a piece of cloth around her wounds, which was the best she could do for her at that moment."We can't allow Allen to kill the King," Fera whispered into Hu
Yes, her wolf was almost as big as her father's own but he also had way more experience than her in fighting in wolf form.Hurai also didn't just stay at the side watching the fight, the moment she saw Horansi attack, and the fact that Fera was immediately in danger, she instantly ran to help.Still, Hurai's presence didn't make much of a difference as he easily overpowered the two of them, biting and clawing at them both until their furs were covered in blood.He would have surely continued if he didn't suddenly notice that something was off, which was why he suddenly backed off.Fera’s wolf was a mess. Hurai was also slightly injured, but Fera got the brunt of it.Horansi couldn't outright communicate in his wolf form using words but when he growled at them as loudly as he could with a vicious sneer, Fera knew he already noticed what she had used on him."Wolf's bane," Horansi thought, getting more furious with each second that passed, as he felt his connection to his wolf slightly w
Yes, he was there to kill them but that didn't mean that he had the intention of killing them instantly since he realized that there was no benefit in keeping them alive, but hearing what Fera called him, he saw red and had the urge to end her life that very moment."You're a coward…" Fera instantly continued completely ignoring the expression of rage on Horsnsi's face to say all she could before he could close enough to unleash the full extent of the murderous aura he was already releasing around him."You call yourself king and you need to bring this many knights along just to capture two women…" Fera yelled loud enough for the knights to hear even as Hurai who stood beside her with Mayory still on her back, began to wonder what she was up to."The only meaning is that you're scared that you're not strong enough to do it yourself," She had only finished talking when she watched King Horansi jump off his horse the next second with an expression of rage on his face wine that instantly
Kal expression instantly changed to a largely pissed-off one, as he finally realized what the burning spin he felt in his shoulder meant.Losing his arm wasn't a big deal and he felt that as long as he drank enough blood, he would be able to regrow it, only to find out that because of Locan's actions he would never be able to.Still deeply angered in his heart, but with a mildly calm expression on his face, Kal slowly walked forward coming to a stop right in front of Locan, gripping Locan's sword in his hand."Don't worry, I'm sure…" Locan began talking, but even before he was halfway done, Kal moved his hand, slashing his head cleanly off his neck in one big movement, watching him plop heavily the ground as his blood littered the floor.The silence in the room was palpable. Geran would have made one of his many jokes, but he knew that the atmosphere wasn't right for it, especially since the king just died, and the new king, was truly going to be a one-armed one.Geran could only sigh
"Clang…" their swords met again and Kal couldn't help but grit his teeth in pain and alarm, shocked and trying to comprehend where King Locsn got the strength he had suddenly used on him."You look surprised," King Locan said with a big smirk on his face as he instantly attacked Kal with the same strength as the one he used before, not surprised to see Kal barely defend it as his sword arm got a deep dash for his incompetence.Watching on the sidelines, even Geran was shocked since he couldn't understand what was suddenly happening to Kal, who suddenly seemed much weaker than King Locan compared to before."Swish…swish…slash," Blood splintered out of the gaping hole in Kal's left arm where it was supposed to be, with King Locan making a show of wiping his face that had been coated with elven blood on his sword with relish."I'm going to enjoy watching you die," Locan said to Kal with a big smile on his face, digging his hands into his shirt and bringing out the necklace underneath it,
At that point, he couldn't help it, as he opened his mouth to call out Kal's name without even bothering to defend himself.If he was going to die, then they might as well do it together, German thought.But he had only just opened his mouth to call out when he suddenly felt King Locan come to a stop in front of him, watching as a red substance slowly dripped down his head as he struggled to wipe it off."WH…WHAT'S THIS?" King Locan yelled in anger shocked at the stickiness of whatever was on his face, only managing to wipe off enough of the burning substance from his face in a way that wouldn't obstruct his vision as he quickly looked around to see his attacker, confident that Geran who he had been on the verge of killing couldn't have been the one by attacking him in such a manner."WHO IS IT?" He yelled at the top of his voice prepared to transform at any moment to finish with the new attacker and Geran who stood in front of him with a smug expression on his face."COME OUT!" He yel
A few seconds of silence passed by, when King Locan finally noticed Geran's strange manner of not responding to any of what he said."What's…." He opened his mouth to speak, while lifting his head up from what he had been staring at on the table when he suddenly saw a dagger flying straight at him, aimed at his head."That counts as an attack right," Geran thought to himself, even as he watched King Locan fly into a rage the next moment.He pushed his table aside, and grabbed his sword beside him with lightning speed as he glared heavily at Geran with eyes that showed their intention to kill."You attacked me…" King Locan stated in a calm and reserved manner, one Geran was sure was simply a mask for the boiling anger he currently felt as he slid his sword out of its sheathe.Geran said nothing and simply counted down the seconds to when Kal was supposed to appear, even as he gripped his sword tightly in his arm, while giving King Locan his entire attention, knowing that a simple mistak
"I don't believe it. It's impossible to get. They rarely show themselves. It would take years before…." "I already got some…" Kal replied chuckling a little at the exaggerated expression on Geran'd face when he spoke."How? How much of your soul did you have to sell to get it? You know it has to belong to at least a high elf right and they hide like their lives depend on it," Geran said to Kal, even as he continued to stare at him with a disbelieving expression on his face."Show me…""Really?" Kal asked with both his eyebrows raised, clearly surprised at Geran's requests especially since the elven blood was deadly to vampires even on sight."At least tell me how you got it," Geran said with a clearly dissatisfied expression on his face."Let's just say that the kingdom of Elfina has a slight Elven trouble," Kal instantly replied, before making it known that he no longer wanted to discuss it, as he went ahead to move the topic of discussion somewhere else."We need to do it as soon as
