Printing out her lecture notes, she slipped it into her bag and left. The lectures for the day has ended and then, she was asked to get her lectures notes for the next class, which she just did.Aurora walked out of the department, smiling. For the weeks she has spent attending the university, she learnt that it was meant for only those that are under art.There is a different site for those under sciences and as she heard, it was the best. She had wanted to go and see it for her eyes, but then, she doesn't even have the time. "Hey Aurora." Her new friend called, sliding her arms around Aurora.She turned to meet Isla smiling at her. Aurora met Isla through a class they shared, although Isla is in second year. "Hi, are you also done with class?" Aurora asked.She had seemed to be close to Isla, after learning that they do share a lot in common. Among all the humans in the class or those that come to share a class with them, Isla stood out.She made sure that she helped Aurora out and
Ever since the day Noel got the message that Russell, Aurora’s father will be coming to Atlanta, he was indeed happy. For years, Russell had stayed hidden to the world and now, he is finally ready to breach that, just so he could see his daughter.Although, Gaby had advised Noel not to show his face to Russell yet because that will bring back the war and since, Noel has the intention of taming Aurora first, it is best if he waits for the right time. Noel had no choice than to call in a human that he had trusted, maybe a bit.Noel explained everything about the deal and all he was to do was represent him when Russell comes. He is to tell Russell that Noel had travelled out of the country and might stay for a very long time. From what James told him, Russell was actually coming to Atlanta, just so he could strike another deal with him.And he doesn’t mind, because most of the times, the project benefits him more than anything. He is always the winner at the end of the day. “After you me
Aurora.The key jingled as I hurriedly left the restaurant. When father had told me he will be coming to Atlanta, he didn't really tell me the exact date and I didn't bother to ask him.Because I had thought that he would reach until a week after or maybe two weeks after. Only for James to call me now, telling me that he had just picked him from the border where some of his guards dropped.I couldn't just let him find out that I worked after school. It will surely make him angry and a lot will happen. The manager of the restaurant didn't agree to me leaving work until father is gone.He said that everything is happening on a short notice and hence he couldn't get someone to replace me that short. "I am sorry but you have to stay." He had said to me.Then gave me one option, to either get someone to stand in for me or continue working. That was when I thought of Isla and her promise to help me when I needed her help.When I called her, telling her about it, she instantly yes and drove
The breeze blew harder as I walked up the mountain to my father's house. I should have stayed back at the house when i noticed the change in weather but no, just came out anyways.My father, Anthony is among those old vampires that seem to have a long life span. No matter the obstacles that came his way, it doesn't even do more than a harm to him. He stood strongly in the eyes of the clan and he leads them whenever I am away.And for the years he had spent in the world, I am sure he will have an idea of what is going on. Right now, he is my only hope, the only person that will give me an answer to the question I have in mind.I was greeted by his guards when I reached the gate, panting harder and holding the wall. I really hate that he stays this far from the clan surface. "Is Anthony in?" I asked his assistant, who is also his best friend."Oh, yes. He just left for his study." He responded, pulling me in for a hug. I pulled back, avoiding him because I am not really a fan of physic
Since father left, I have not gotten any message from him or James which really did broke my heart.But that wouldn't bring me down, I will do whatever it takes to make father forgive me and the first thing to do is to find a clue about Noel. I brought out my laptop from the back, placing it on the desk and turning it on.I waited until the screen light showed before typing away the password. The first thing I did was to open the browser, putting away Noel's full name.The most frustrating thing is that nothing pops up, no matter how hard I tried, it is always blank. If the inernet can't really lead me to Noel then one thing will and that isnto get someone that knows him but know who really.There is no one here that knows about vampire, no one I mean expect James and wait, the security guard at the university, he will surely have an idea of them and have a clue for me.I closed back the laptop, returning it to the place I had taken it from. I have no class tomorrow but for this, I wi
"We have gotten Carter's assistant but he doesn't have any idea of where Carter is and I believe he is telling the truth." Gaby informed.Of course, it will be that way. Carter really did betrayed me when I had I trusted him. He is a lesson to me not to believe and trust humans again. Those corny human. "Then kill him." I ordered.Gaby swallowed hard, staggering back. "What? You can do it?" I furred my brows."Not that but it is against your rules." He pointed out.I smirked. "It used to be my rule Gaby but people change and I change also." I told him.He had no other choice than to go away. I called him back because I wasn't done ordering him. "When you kill him, take him back to Carter's warehouse and leave him there." I added.He nodded his head, leaving the house. Humans will always disappoint me, not to even talk of werewolves but who ever thought that Russell will actually come back this way?If only there is a way for me to get to him and that will only be his daughter but I ma
A yelp left my mouth as soon as I opened my eyes. I panted heavily hating the fact that the nightmares is slowing returning.Something that has stopped for years now. I ran my head over the side vanity stand, turning on the light. Despite the window nets been opened and the air conditioner is on, I kept on sweating like a runner.I grabbed a cup of water, gulping down the entire content before keeping aside the cup. I had a nightmare of how my mother was killed right in front of me, in this apartment but I couldn't see the face of the person again.The vampire King's face has totally disappeared from my head and mind, as if it was magically removed. No matter how hard I tried to remember, it seemed just so impossible and stopped attempting to try.My only hope to find Angel as the security man at the school had said. He is the only one to lead me to the vampire king or the real vampire clan.It was already four in the morning and yet, I was wide awake, not even attempting to go back
The morning fog covered the entire clan, making it hard for anyone to see ahead of them. It really won’t affect those staying in the clan but those who want to drive out or move of the clan this early morning.Throughout last night, I couldn’t sleep because of my encounter with mother and how it had ended. I won’t lie; I hate myself for acting that way. It didn’t make me less than a human.And then, Gaby added to my anger when he hesitated to do as I had asked him. At the end of the day, I had no other choice than to call him in and we talked it out. He apologized for the things he had done, then he explained what the document that he had gotten meant. Everything written there was fair enough and I think if things end up well, I will be at the receiving ends with more benefits to it. Since it wasn’t that bad, I signed it and then, asked him to check if Russell will be around Atlanta for a very long time.There is something that I don’t get yet; I get that if Aurora could forget how I
Seven months later.Aurora sat on the table with a child on her laps as she rocked him back and forth until he stopped crying.Over the month, she has realized that it was best she’d forgotten everything and forgive. Actually, that wasn’t it.A day came and she had a dream, the goddess asking her to forgive Noel about everything that he did because it was obvious that he regretted everything and beside it wasn’t his fault.Everything happened because of her step father, so she had no choice than to forgive him but she couldn’t forget about the fact that her mate killed her own mother. It was unbelievable to her. “What are you thinking of?” Noel asked as he entered the room.He was dressed in a black shirt and grey pants that hugged his body. Seeing his dressed that way made her more jealous because she was sure that other girls looked at him. “Nothing.” She responded.Although, her voice sounded off and he knew why she was angry so he couldn’t resist the urge to laugh. “Please, I have
It was the night which Aurora had asked the goddess to help her out, the night which she had gotten trapped in a nightmare and also, a day which she had decided that it was best for her to commit suicide.She had thought that everything will end if she ended her life but no, she was wrong. There was a lot left for her to find out and also to solve the mystery. And at the same time, a witch which was bullied and abused because she had gotten pregnant by a human who ended up leaving her gave birth to a child. The female child happened to be weak and fragile that she wouldn’t ever fight for the rights of her mother so the Goddess did her thing. Aurora was reincarnated as the baby over the night, her memories long gone.The witch took in Aurora, after promising the goddess that she will protect her and makes sure no harms come to her until she is ready to face the worst.The more Aurora grew, the more she was hidden from the eyes of the world. The witch whose name is Naya did her best f
Sharing a bed with the vampire King isn’t something I had wanted to do. Never had I imagined that I would end up getting pregnant for the vampire king.Weeks have passed since we had shared a bed, I could feel the changes in me yet I didn’t tell anyone. I don’t want to give anyone false hope.And also, I have been getting some minor flashbacks that come with headaches which my mother had asked me to ignore. But I couldn’t just ignore it.I feel like there is more to it that she isn’t telling me. And especially when she made sure she was clear about me not getting rid of the bracelet on my hand.I knew it had something to do with my past which I can’t remember. But I didn’t push it. By the time I confirm that I am pregnant, I will use it against my mother and get every piece of information out of her. “What are you thinking of?” Grace, the maid which was later assigned to me asked.I shook my head, smiling at her. Among all the maids here, she is the only one that genuinely loves me.
“Look mother, it isn’t my fault that you got told off by the girl. She has no idea who you are.” I exclaimed.My mother claimed that she and Kate had decided to go and visit the golden jewel when they heard the story that one was chosen.I have never imagined that they will actually there to see her, without even coming here to me first and now that things have moved the other way round, they decided that they should come to me.Kate look fragile and weak, yet she walked out of her comfort zone. “Still doesn’t mean she should be rude to us. I mean she should have realized that we are important people in the clan.” Mother argued.I palmed my face. At the moment, even Gaby had ran away from the room because he wasn’t ready to argue with my mother on things that aren’t necessary. “Okay mother. What do want to be done now?” I asked, just so peace will be regained in the mansion.“I want to have that girl punished.” She ordered, raising her voice hard.Hearing that, I began to laugh hard.
To save my mother from going through humiliation in the pack, I had to agree to be a concubine to Lord Noel as they call him.I would have strictly followed my mind and done nothing but for my mother. Gaby and Noel tried to talk me into signing a contract with them because after giving birth, I will have no access to the child.Although I was okay with it, I didn’t agree to sign the contract because I am sure that it will be used against me later in the day.Those people are not to be trusted and even if they are, I wouldn’t trust anyone here.They are fishing and I keep on getting something like a flashback whenever I close my eyes. “Aurora.” My mother’s voice called out.She was escorted into the room which I was kept by Gaby. “Yes, ma.” I answered, rushing to her.I gave her a side hug, looking at Gaby who had come in with her. “Anything else?” I snarled seeing that he didn’t attempt to go out.“Yes. Noel had requested that you know that he will be coming in here to spend the nigh
When that particular came up with the name Aurora, I had thought it was normal. Not until she ended up being the golden jewel of the pack.It can’t seem to be a coincidence so I ordered Gaby to call her in with her mother. Her mother used to be the clan witch, well until she committed a crime and she was abandoned.I had thought she left the clan to other clans or to the human world, only to find out today that she is still around, with a child. “They will be here in ten minutes.” Gaby informed, pushing the door to the study opened.“That’s good.” I responded.“Kate doesn’t seem to be getting better?” He asked.Over the years, Kate got ill and she couldn’t even conceive. It was heartbreaking to see her that way. “It is sad.” I answered taking a seat.Not the witch or the doctors could dictate what is wrong with her. A witch went ahead of saying she was possessed by a soul which made her way.I never believed. Isla tried to say maybe the Aurora that committed suicide came back to aven
Nineteen years later.The wind blew through the surface, leaving nothing but dust and the dried leaves rustling. I sucked in a deep breath, there is nothing to be happy about here.Today, I clocked nineteen, together with other kids, and not just that, an event has been organized for those that are celebrating.It is called a crossover, as we had become mature and ready to choose those that we will love to spend our entire lives with. That isn’t something that I would be bothered about, leaving with a witch for my entire years has made me lose total interest in marital affairs.My mother, the clan witch said marriage shouldn’t be in my heart and it isn’t. She said life will be different for me, I have a lot to achieve and also a lot to learn about.Then again, I wasn’t the type that cares about what goes on around me. As long as everyone stays out of my lane. “Aurora.” My mother, the witch screamed, pulling my ears.I yelled in pain, holding the ear that she had just pulled. “I have
I would have sworn that it was a lie Aurora didn’t die but right in front of me was the cold death body of Aurora and it seemed she had died for a long time. I shook my head in disbelief before turning to Gaby. “I will inform James now so that he can get her body and take care of everything.” He uttered before I could suggest anything. “That is great. Where is Kate and Isla?” I asked.Since after the announcement, I haven’t set my eyes on anyone of them and I meant the announcement of Aurora’s death. Isla should definitely be shaken by it, seeing that she had considered Aurora like a sister and it is indeed against her will to see aurora staying here, she just had to keep it up to avoid getting on my bad side. “Isla is locked in her room while Kate went away with your mother.” He informed.I checked the time; it is a bit late for mother to take Kate with her, no matter what the situation was, not after our wedding day. “Why?” I breathed standing up.All this while, I have been squatt
“Do you Kate, take King Noel of the Kindred of the Ebony Kingdom as your lawfully wedded husband ?” My father asked.Since the witch is busy with the ending ceremony of the sacred day, and vampires don’t have priest, my father decided to put it up and wed us. “Yes.” Kate answered, her voice was laced with happiness.If only she knew that the happiness she wants to find can’t be found in me really. “Do you Noel, take Kate as your lawfully wedded wife?” My father asked, turning his attention to me.I couldn’t find my voice to answer and I could feel every one staring at me, as if it was something serious. Maybe to them, or to my parents it is. “Do you Noel, take Kate as your wife?” Father asked again, shorting the vows.“Yes.” I finally answered. I could see the relief look on my mother’s face as I answered.Not only my mother, but everyone seemed happy. Even Kate was tensed but she didn’t say it out. “You may now kiss the bride.” I pulled in Kate, putting my forehead on hers until our
