I woke up again, drenched in sweat. This time I found myself in a comfortable bed. I guess we've finally arrived back at Malicays' place. "You know, we were pretty worried about you, it's okay if you don't want to tell us about your dream but please can you not scare us like that. Geez." I sat up straight and took deep breaths until I got tired.
Trust no one huh. That's gonna be a problem. If everyone was just a pawn for it's deal then how do I know I'm not one of them. I feel suffocated at the moment. I helped myself to some new clothes since Malicay's clothes would not size me because of his body size and made my way down. Just in the living room, I found everyone awake and waiting anxiously. "What's going on?" I asked.
A cup of hot st
The following morning, as we got ready to leave, there was a knock at the door. Everyone took caution as expected since Malicay was the reserved type, all this would have been solved if he simply came out a little more, then we wouldn't be this worried about who was at the door. It was Martha who answered the door. "Who's at the door Martha." I asked, but she gave no answer.I could only see the shadow of a tall figure because the door was blocking the view of whoever it was. The figure helped itself inside, with each step it too forward, Martha took one backward, at one point she almost stumbled. I rushed towards her side to see what was going on and was surprised to find Mira's father at the door. His head turning sideways before he finally looks at me, I have never felt so short in my entire life, and I certainly did not expect someone like himself to make me feel that way. But most
We waited outside the house. It didn't take long for Richard to show up with a flashy entrance. His entourage lined up behind him and Richard dressed in what appears to be his best ever outfit. Richard looked like he was in.his best possible mood, as if he had won the lottery which was presumably Mira. He walks up to Malicay and smiles at him mockingly. "Where is she?" Richard asked.Malicay just moved to the corner and pointed upstairs. There was no way he would carry her in his arms and give her to someone else. "The second room on your left." Malicay directed him. Richard spared no time, with his speed, he quickly made his way to Mira's room and the next minute he was running down the stairs with her. "Wait." Malicay said. He dipped his hand into his pocket and took out what appears to be an old worn out handkerchief. "I never got the chance to give it back." He said. As he tied it a
It's been a whole day, however neither Thomas or Daniel is waking up while Malicay isn't leaving his room either. Were we tricked by Richard? Could he have possibly lied to us so he could have Mira to himself. If that were the case then we're in for it. We're stuck in an even worse situation. "What do we do now?" Martha asked. "Richard won't let me return back because he knows I've betrayed him to side you guys.""We're in an even worse situation, they aren't waking up." I told her. Once again we fall into silence and just stare at each other. Heavy footsteps draw closer from upstairs, I look behind and find Jake almost out of breath.Jake keeps pointing towards the stairs but he's not saying anything so I just end up following him to see what's wrong. However what I saw was a mir
When I heard Malicay call out to mother with such an arrogant tone, at that very moment I could tell that something had gone entirely wrong and wasn't right. Malicay wasn't moving from the door, rather he was using one hand to shield Thomas almost as if he was protecting him against a threat, a threat that was outside.Suddenly the murderous aura that was almost never awake except for the day he tried to kill us, suddenly went through the roof and was sky rocket, it filled the entire house and was probably leaking outside as well. This time it was so strong that my legs began to tremble, I held until whatever I could for support, Jake grabbed the rails and Martha battled with her legs.Suddenly, I noticed that his right hand that was behind him was giving out signals, warning us not to come any further. Jake, who
Daniel's eyes were filled with hostility and rage towards her. He was standing right behind Thomas, with his sword strectched out towards her. "You should know what this is, don't you, or do you want me to remind you all about it. Make one wrong move and I won't think twice before cutting you to size." Daniel threatened.Mother rose her head as she straightened her back, raising her hands in the air as she slowly backed away from Thomas.Those words from Daniel weren't plain words. Although he didn't look like it, I keep trying to remind myself that Daniel was a vampire hunter, and one that fatally injured Malicay centuries ago. He went half mad after Becca died and sacrificed his generation to get rid of Mal who was falsely accused. Well I bet he would have never made that deal if he had known that he was going to fall in love
As I hear the sound of Jake howling and immediately try to trace the sound of his call. "Jake, Jake, can you hear me Jake." I repeatedly called out to him using our telepathy but there was no response from him, making me anxious. "Damnit."I let out a howl as well, letting Jake know I was near. I increased my speed and ran as fast as I could, challenging my half breed speed. Luckily Jake responded to my call and I arrived at the location to find a fierced Vampire charging towards Jake. With force, I rushed at him, ramming him over, I flinged him towards the direction of his teammates who dodge him. "Take Thomas and leave." I tell them."But Jack, we're surrounded." Martha says.
Chapter 101.I could hear a faint voice ask after me as they helped me to my feet, and crossed my left hand over the shoulder of my Beta. “Is he alright?” Richard asked as he looked at me with irritation, his asking of my well being was probably to know whether or not I was dead.“Yes he is, thank you very much for your help.” They thanked him, but Richard was merely interested in their empty words and a small ‘tch’ escaped his mouth as he turned his back and walked away. Although I would really like to beat him up right now, I could not deny the fact that he had just saved us.“I wish you Alpha feels the same way as well, however he has a look of
In order not to get dragged into a fight that we could not get out of or resolve, we simply let them bicker amongst themselves in the most childish way possible as Richard threw punches at Mal, meanwhile Mal just laid down and received it like a pro. At the end, Richard got tired and stopped. “Why, why are you doing this to me, and what did I ever do to you in the first place? Why did you have to kill my family, my people, everyone, and still steal the heart of the woman I love.” He suddenly cried.“I have no regrets whatsoever in doing what I did.”Wow, what a magnificent amount of pride.“I know you must have thought I wronged you, but actually, I’m the one who’s wronged here. However, what I did w
Laughter and music plays through the elegant hall. Everyone danced to the rhythm of the waltz, everything seemed perfect and yet, one person remained who looked lonely even while being crowded by many. An average height, fair skinned red haired woman laughed with everyone with a mask of happiness but beneath that mask was a lonely woman. That woman was me.Today marked my twenty-first birthday and my father who was a man of luxury decided to hold what is supposed to be the most lavish birthday, however I could not feel a single ounce of happiness, rather I felt empty. "Adeline." My older sister called. She and my older brothers were bent on introducing me to what may seem to be potential husband candidates. The problem was I did not like any."Adeline, hurry up." Why did I have to be the
As much as I wanted to rip him apart, I could not move and I was still in the hands of this lunatic of a woman. "Well then let's get to work." He said while staggering. He walked up to a rock that was shaped oddly like a chair and sat down. "Since her majesty now has the heir to the throne out of the way, I believe that makes her the only pure blooded Ego and rightful queen seeing that Erika over here has given up the position already. So I have played my role." He said without any sense of shame or guilt."What about her?" Richard says, I was on the brink of tears seeing that he was not moved after seeing both his children dead. I thought we could start over. I made a mistake."You monster. How could you, you killed innocent c
Gah!I woke up dripping wet from cold sweat. "She's awake." A voice says. It was my father. I looked around and found fewer people than before, the twins, Nessa and dad, but where's Malicay and Daniel, I wondered."Martha, what happened to Martha." I asked but everyone looked away, they had a troubled look and most importantly they were sad.Vanessa moved forward and signalled father to let her speak. "By the time Malicay had arrived, she was already dead. The dagger that pierced through her heart was a silver dagger, I'm sorry." Again, she died again. I can't imagine how much I owe her, for taking care of Ethan, for the shelter she gave me in my previous life, and for being by my side. I owed
Delets.The myths describe him as cunning, slippery, smart, and devious. A master of chesh and a good strategist however no one could ever figure out what his true aim and purpose ever was, he was a being who moved according to his own will, no one could understand and control him. That being I speak of had planned to ruin my family from the very beginning.He wasn't just after one child but two, on one hand it was said that Thomas would bring my mother in law the throne an on the other Ethan was said to be a sacrifice for Thomas to ascend the throne but what those two had in common was that their birthday were foretold, one to Richard and the other to the queen. In short there was no curse, just a stage set up for an event. It was a marking. This strategy was simply killing two birds wit
I was only a couple of days away from my fortieth birthday, and since the queen hadn't shown up cause she was probably waiting for my passing, everyone lowered their guards. "Yes, we'll be there immediately." I heard Richard say as he walked into my room hurriedly with a troubled expression."What's going on?" I asked, there was no way I would not be troubled seeing him pancing to and fro the room. "Where are you going ?"He rushed up to my bed and kissed me on the cheek. "Emir has found a way around Delets curse this time, Ethan and I would go there and return immediately, but don't worry I've called for more security, even from the wolves so they would be more people to protect you when I'm gone." As he stood up to leave, I grabbed him b
Although we weren't able to find out a few more things relating to the fire incident, we were more cautious in making sure the children were safe. However at the same time, my curse was slowly becoming a nightmare to my life as it slowly spread. I had only a few weeks to live as I was turning forty soon, it was most likely that I would die on my birthday.Richard has been doing a lot of thinking about it, turning me into a vampire would still not help me, as Emir herself rendered it useless. "You don't look like you've been ageing like the rest of us." Vanessa said as she helped me out of bed.I stood next to a mirror and stared at myself, she was right, I looked like nothing had changed because I kept taking Richard's blood as supplement, to think I was going to die looking this young. "It's n
I didn't expect to meet his sister as I presumed both were dead but I was wrong, Malicay wasn't going from one place to another for nothing, he was gathering clues, it was due to this that he discovered his sister's survival, Emir was also brought here, from what he said, they each had a story to tell.Erika broke it down to us in a story she discovered while hiding from her mother.Apparently it all started when the queen, Malicays' mother, had to pass her throne to her husband because she was a woman and deemed unfit. She decided to change her fate and so she came up with a strategy. After searching for answers for many years, she met with Delets and made a deal with him.'I'll give you the power you
"Dad?"It was only natural for me to be confused. Out of everyone present in this room, he should be the least that knows but not only does he know what's going on, but my sister Vanessa knew as well, how did I know? It's because her cheeks turn red whenever she's caught in a lie. "I know you are startled as well, and believe me, it came as a shock to me to find out the dark secrets of your mother's family."Mother's family. That's right, we were called Daniel's. I'm of my brother's bloodline, the box father gave me had Daniel's face on it, and in it, I found that he was a vampire hunter.In sudden realisation, I turn around and face my brother what's looks away. 'You've made a huge mistake haven't y
Chapter 109.As I screamed and rolled, I felt many hands hold me down and I came to my senses, I’m still in my room. Am sure I went out this morning, was I really daydreaming? Cold sweat drops down my face and my body trembles each time I try to move, then a familiar voice echoes in the room. “What did you do to her this time?” It was one of the men who had arrived with Malicay last night. I couldn’t help but stare at him as I saw myself down to him, however I could not see his face properly, as my eyes felt heavy. “Answer me.” He yelled."Don't you dare yell at me, she's only suffering because of your stupid deal, or did you preharps forget, she's going to be forty this year. She has less than months to live." That was Richard's voice, I'm certain of it. But
