He draped his arms around the couch, putting one leg on another. He stared straight into the manager’s eyes that were facing the floor and fidgeting.“So how many human bodies were brought in yesterday?” He asked.Most of the blood processed in the blood bank are given to those vampires that stay among the humans so that they don’t attack the humans.And those back in the clan have some herbs they take when it has been long since they have taken human blood. “Ten.” The manager answered, his voice shaking.Noel could only laugh at the answer, as if he wasn’t there when Gaby pushed the bodies in and here is the fucker lying straight to his face. “I will ask you for the last time. How many human bodies were brought in here?” He asked again, this time gritting.The manager wiped away the sweep that fell down his forehead. “Fifteen.” He hurriedly answered seeing that Noel was trying to get something out of his pocket and he had assumed that he was going to bring out a gun.“Nice and how ma
Giving her body a final look in the mirror, she picked her back pack. There is no way she can miss school because if she does, her father will get a hang that something happened to her.She had given Carter his breakfast so she doesn’t have anything to worry about. She walked out of the room, heading to the door and she opened it.She was about to leave when she noticed something down on the doorstep. It was a box with a little note attached to it. She would have said it was from Noel but it was entirely black.Her heart skipped a beat as she picked it up, going back into the house. She decided to open it before she leaves for school.And by just removing the ribbon used to hold it in place, she could perceive the heavy smell that lingered it. She crunched her nose before she entirely removed the ribbon and opened the box.She screamed, throwing away the box cover and the ribbon that she was holding. “What is this?” She cried out then she remembered there was a note that came with it.
He shifted to the other side of the bed, feeling another person there. He groaned more when he remembered that Iris was still there.Noel slowly opened his eye, then sat up and looked around the room. Everywhere was littered with their clothing that they had gotten rid of when the night got very intense.He must say that he was happy to have Iris to come to his rescue. “Shit.” He mumbled as he stood up.His day is to be so simple as he had planned it. Take a bath, attend to some files, appoint a new manager for the blood bank and prepare for his journey back to the clan. That was all.And as he had wanted, he quickly took a bath, still Iris was fast asleep or maybe she was pretending. Either way it was up to her to do whatever she wants since he had gotten what he wants.He wore his clothes then he headed to the dining room where food were arranged for him on the table. He breathed and began to chew down the food. “What of Iris?” Gaby asked when he noticed that she wasn’t there.“She
The night air was stiffed and Aurora couldn't even help more than inhaled the perfume she had sprayed on her body. As the days pass, this side of the town was slowly turning into a dump and she wonder why the council loves having their monthly auction meeting there. Perhaps, this is her first time of attending the council meeting ever since she got out of coma but she had heard stories about the dark side of the town where the meetings take place. Once she passed there with her mother and she thought she was going to die. Then she requested that the driver returns her back home after her mother dropped at the meeting. She would have also been at home today, trying to remember what type of life she had lived before going into coma or who she was but that wasn't possible. Her parents took an emergency flight to the United Kingdom to attend to an important business in their branch there and ordered her to show up on their behalf. She was against it for a while, but her father
In a fright, she forcefully woke up from her sleep, panting heavily. She just had a dream and in that dream, she wasn’t a werewolf but a normal human girl and she met someone who is werewolf.Javier Alvaro, the same rang a bell in her head but still, she couldn’t remember where she heard it. It was as if some part of her memory were wiped away.She touched the side of the bed, getting a cup of water. She came back from hospital with James with her, who offered to stay with her, claiming that he doesn’t know if he should trust Carter with her at this times.She stood up, going to the living room where she met James eating some popcorn and watching a series on Netflix. He turned when he felt the presence of someone behind him. “What are you doing here?” He asked, standing up and helped her to the chair.“I had a nightmare. It feels like I am not the person I am living as James. A lot is happening to me and I can’t point a straight finger at it.” She cried out on his shoulders.He patte
Flashback. A Twenty Years Aurora. It was just noon and she was planning on going to the waterfall to get some fresh water for her mother and then, get some fresh vegetables from the farm. Even though it is a crime to pluck the vegetables as it belongs to the Holdings, Aurora doesn’t really care. It was there only means of survival and she has been doing it for years. One thing is she is not sure if it was already noticed by the gardener but she always does it. She put her hair back into a ponytail using the one and only scrunchie she owns before picking the water bowl. “Mother, I will be leaving.” She screamed, moving out of the house and she didn’t even get a response from her mother. She was okay with it because her mother had just found out the means she takes to get the vegetables. Her mother was against it, she knew the consequences of what awaits then when the Holdings find out. But as usual, Aurora didn’t pay heed to her, no one can stop her. Besides, they were the
It was as if she was jolted out of her dreams as she abruptly screamed, earning the attention of the securities passing by.She was helped into a small area where they fanned her and gave her water until she recovered her composure. “Thank you so much.” She said to them with a smile then stood up.One thing she wasn’t understanding is why she is having a flashback, as if she is living a life that doesn’t belong to her. But that wasn’t what matters to her the most.Is she truly the lady she is seeing in her dreams or is just an illusion? She just can’t point finger at it and it very confusing that thinking about it knocks her off.Finally able to gather all her courage, she walked into the club, stopping by the reception. She was left in awe, seeing how the place was beautified.“Who are you here to see?” The lady that was dressed in flimsy clothes standing by the reception asked.For a minute, Aurora loved what she was wearing and wished she was actually the one wearing it but then, t
It was indeed my victory and also a day for me to celebrate as I have gotten Aurora. The plan of drugging her came from her cousin.His excuse was to make things easier for her so that she won’t be much traumatized but we both know that she will be more than that when she finds out that she was actually played.James really played off half his dept by finding out where she had hidden Carter and also, by staying by my side instead and that earned him a little of my respect. “So what is next?” Gaby asked as Aurora was taken back to the dungeon in the clan.That is where I will keep her, a place Russell will never have access to her, no matter how hard he tries. “We also go back to the clan and of course, after getting my trophy.” I responded.He furrowed his brows in confusion. “You mean Carter right?” He asked.“Oh yes.” I answered.It was very much evident that I was more than happy in my voice. “I have sent the boys to get him so we are to meet them by the portal.” He informed.As 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
