TEARS OF HATE
At the very moment Mary opened her mouth to begin telling the truth to the young man sitting beside her on the bed, a frosty, strong wind blew opening the wooden windows of the small room in a loud titof, scaring Occisor. Mary rose silently and closed the windows.Once again she took a deep breath. Though many saw her as a cold, heartless being – as she didn't really have a heart – she cared too much for both Occisor and Margaret. They were her family, and for them she was capable of anything."Do you know what a velut luna is?" Mary asked."Yes, I read in one of Margaret's books that the female with that title is the companion of the alpha male." he said. He was so smart."So you know a lot about the lycanthropes, don't you?" She finally walked again, returning to bed and sitting next to the boy."Not much. Margaret said that wasn't a book for my age, I disagreed, but she wouldn't let me read anything else. She's so boring!" He shouted and Mary held the urge to laugh with the little one's sullen face."I understand. Have you ever wondered why you like to eat only and almost raw meat?""I know why, it's because they're delicious! What I don't understand is why neither you nor Margaret like them." Mary laughed. "Look how strong I am!" he stuffed his chest and crossed his arms, yet in less than three seconds his arms fell, one on each side of his body. "But... What does that have to do with my mother?"Mary again took a deep breath, and Occisor didn't fail to observe this. Outside the room, Margaret had her ear placed in the door. She also wanted to know the truth about Occisor; all she knew when he arrived was that his mother and aunt had been murdered by the cruel wolves and that Mary saved him from having the same fate."She was a velut luna," Mary said bluntly and observed the boy's reaction. Nothing. He didn't say a word, so she continued. "What I'm going to tell you now is not a beautiful story. Are you ready to hear it, or would you rather wait a little longer?""I'm ready," he said firmly, but she saw his eyes tremble."All right. Five years ago, in a harsh winter, the moon shone brightly in the sky and the velut luna gave birth to a cub. The werewolves, when they generate their proles, they...They stay in their lupine forms until the cubs reach six months of life, and the cubs only show signs of humanity after those six months," Occisor interrupted Mary and completed her sentence, already losing some of his patience."Yes, you already knew that. However, when you were born..."She stopped for a few moments to look at him. The boy's prying eyes were cloudy.Does he already know what happened? Mary wondered as she watched him.."Childbirth forced your mother back into her human form and then you were born, as if you were a baby with only human blood, with no Lycanthropic characteristic."Why?" he whispered, but Mary ignored the question."Your mother was accused of treason and involvement with the witches to hide the smell of the man with whom they believed she betrayed her mate. The execution took place the same night, but she fought and fled, her sister, your aunt, helped her escape. Your mother and your aunt believed that the goddess had chosen them for some purpose. A luna cimex rebelled against her whole pack and paid the price with her own life. Unfortunately your mother was badly injured and couldn't run anymore. Unable to continue protecting you, she entrusted you to me. The wolves found her and killed her and they hunted for you."What... What was my mother's name and my aunt's?" he asked with his eyes closed. He didn't want to cry, not in front of a woman."Emerald, that was your mother's name and your aunt was called Ruby.""How… What were they like?"Occisor had his eyes closed tightly, the tears wanted to come out at any cost."Your mother had long black hair and green eyes. Ruby had reddish brown hair and amber eyes. The two were extremely beautiful, strong and..."No, they were not!" Margaret finally appeared and opened the door in a bang. "Never will that cursed race be beautiful!" They're all horrible! Cruel! Miserable! They're...""Shut your mouth!" Occisor shouted. The burning in his eyes grew even stronger."Are you gonna cry? Those bastards left your aunt with an unrecognizable body, trampled her until there was nothing left of her and your mother had her head cut off! They did that to their own kin and they just didn't do the same to you because..."I said shut up!" This time he released a growl that made Margaret's eyes widen."You've got to be kidding me. I don't believe it, Mary!" A tear came down from Margaret's lonely eyes."Margaret, listen..."Margaret didn't listen, she turned her back and ran down the hall. Mary looked at Occisor and decided to let him ingest the whole story, alone. Now she needed to find Margaret.With her supernatural speed, Mary caught up with her in seconds and turned her around. Seeing the tears in her eyes made Mary sad, she didn't want to see them there. She lied to Margaret saying that Occisor was simply a human baby. But I always knew that sooner or later the day would come that she was going to have to tell the truth and it wouldn't be easy. And it wasn't. Carefully, she lifted her thumb to the young woman's cheeks and wiped away her tears."Why did you do that? Why did you lie? He's one of them.""No, Margaret, Occisor is one of us. He, like you, is a Van Helsing. You're both my children!"Mary hugged the young woman who cried as if there was no tomorrow. After sniffling a lot, she let go of her guardian's arms."What if... If he ends up like those monsters? If he...""I'll never be like any of them! I'm gonna kill those monsters! I'll hunt them down one by one, I reject them, just as they did to me, I will do much worse to them!" Occisor uttered every word with his fists clenched and trembling by his side.Margaret startled, she hadn't noticed the little one's presence. She stared at him hesitantly, but soon any doubt was extinguished from her mind. From Occisor's eyes, tears kept falling, but the firmness in his gaze, the hatred he felt for those who killed his mother was transparent."I'm in!"THE GENUINE ALPHA'S DAUGHTERThe dining table was full. On the dark stone walls of the great hall, every fifteen meters there was a torch lit with the dancing fire on them and the last rays of sunlight illuminated the dining room. The genuine couple was the first to feed, when they were finished, it was the betas couples' turn and then the omega couples'. When the table was practically empty, with not much left, it was released for the last one's meal."Now you can help yourself, Bloodstain," ordered the genuine to his cub, who kept her eyes on the table, her mouth salivating and her stomach growling every time she saw someone chew on any piece of meat, but waited patiently for her turn."All right, papa.""I told you not to call me that!" cried the genuine, interrupting the small hand of picking up one of the bones on the table. "Go to your den, you won't eat today!""But...""You want to get beaten up?" Bloodstain felt her body tremble all over at the murderous look her mother cast
HAND-TO-HAND FIGHT"Mary, please tell me. When?" Margaret insisted once more."It's dawn, we have to...""You promised, Mary," Margaret crosses her arms at breast height. "I thought you were a woman of your word, but from what I see now..."Mary rolls her eyes. Not even half an hour since the timid rays of rising sun passed through the windows and Margaret was already on her feet tormenting her with a promise she made ten years ago.When she saved the little ten-year-old child from being enslaved or devoured by the Lycanthropian beasts, in order to get her out of the deep depression that possessed her body, Mary promised to train her and transform her so she could take her revenge. Mary thought that in time the girl would give up on this idea, however, nothing would get it out of Margaret's head, and it frustrated the red-eyed vampire immensely."In three months. "In three fucking months!" she said in a loud tone that scared the young woman, who tensed all her muscles on alert. "On th
THE BOOKExactly thirty minutes after the sun rose, only to remain hidden behind the dense, gray clouds. The sounds of strides echo through the stone floor in the long hallway and soon the genuine couple appeared. At the entrance to the room, two slaves were responsible for opening and closing the heavy doors. When the couple positioned themselves in front of the door, the slaves opened them and the noise caught everyone's attention."Is everyone already here?" The genuine alpha asked as he entered the meeting room."Yes, the seven alphas, sir," the omega replied with his head down."All right. You can leave now.""Excuse me."The omega bowes to all the alphas and left the large room, closing the door behind him. The genuine alpha sits at the head of the great table and the genuine lunam sits at his right side."Have you found an heir yet?" Kratos questioned Rolf, the alpha of the Rising pack."No, I'm still in mourning," he replied without looking at the other alpha."You should leav
LEARNING ABOUT THE ENEMY"Thank you for the meal," Margaret says, wiping her mouth, and leaves the kitchen while Mary and Occisor are still eating.She walks in quick strides. She wants to at least see, if only for a few moments, the officer. It wouldn't be for long and she knew she'd find him soon. That night he was working on the east tower, she knew."Hi," she says when she finds him. Derrick looks at her with a beautiful smile. Margaret admires him for a few moments; she notes that his thigh uniform does an excellent job in defining his muscles. As always."Hey, beautiful. You want to see the moon with me?""It would be my pleasure," she slips through the iron door and closes it carefully behind her.Margaret knew that if Mary found out she was meeting with Derrick, she would use it as an excuse not to turn her. So it has to be a secret. But, even though she has feelings for the young man, he would never come first in her life.With confident steps, she paces until she stands in f
CURIOSITY ABOUT LOVEAlthough it was day, the sky was gray, the heavy clouds didn't allow any ray of sunlight to pass them. A heavy storm was expected that afternoon. The wind whistled bringing with it the cold, which forced them to close the windows, so the torture room had to be lit with torches.Despite being a heavy and inappropriate job for the genuine's daughter, even more so when she's still just a puppy, it was her own father who forced her to get her hands dirty with innocent blood, in the obligation to leave the room clean for the next victims who would perish in that large and cold room.The smell made the young woman sick. She felt bad that she couldn't do anything. She couldn't understand why they had to be so mean.If my brother were alive... would he also participate in this? Would he take pleasure in making others suffer? She questioned herself with disgust. Surely, he would, after all, he would be raised and trained to be that way. He'd learn how to step on his weak b
THE FIRST MISSIONA moon later…The moon was already rising in the sky. The night was cold and silent, which was frightening for the human women in the city of Kiruna, located in Sweden. About six months ago, Sweden asked for help from the government of Reikiavik, Iceland. But they didn't want to put their men at risk and passed the request to the government of Murmansk, Russia, as they were the ones working directly with Mary Van Helsing.Margaret had finally given Occisor the books that addressed everything about lycanthropes, from the brothers who disputed the title of god of the moon, to the beginning of the hunt and enslavement of humans for his kind."Occisor," Mary caught the attention of the young man who was quietly eating his meal.Still chewing, he looked at her and raised his eyebrows."Margaret," Mary called.Margaret, who was eating her potatoes in silence, also looked up."The government has already set the next mission. Margaret, you'll be here alone for a while, it w
SCARS THAT MARK MORE THAN JUST THE SKINThe dark night sky was adorned with many bright stars, the moon a shine of silver. And behind a large window in one of the halls was Bloodstain, admiring the moon with bright eyes and a small smile. The hope for better weather warmed her heart.Please, great goddess, I ask for your protection for me and for Guila, she prays and continues her path, holding a bucket with water and brush. Her hair is trapped in a thin strip of cloth that she tore from her own dress, so that they wouldn't get too – or more in this case – dirty while she works.Although it was late, the genuine alpha warned her to clean out the torture room before she went to sleep. Which means dinner's been over for two minutes and she tries to ignore the hunger."How I wish you were here, Guila... Just to keep me company." She feels her eyes getting damp and closes them tightly. "Now is not the time, Guila is sick, don't be selfish!"The windows in the room are open and the only so
NOW HIS NAME IS FEARED BY ALLForty-eight moons later…"Tell me, how does it feel to taste your own blood?" He asks as he moves the knife stuck in his prey's abdomen.Occisor's thick voice fills the ears of the Markab pack's beta as he tries to control himself so as not to let the tremors of fear and pain show through his body.They're near the Markab pack, located near the great gray city of London. The beta had left his pack and gone after some girls in the city, all the while Occisor kept an eye on him, studying his prey.He's brave to leave alone, Occisor thought as he watched him from the roof of a house as the beta entered an alley with two apparently thirteen and fifteen-year-old human females. Recently some wolves had taken to rape virgin humans girls in that age group, Occisor knew that.Margaret, when she heard about it, became possessed with hatred at the time, and wanted to rip this monster's genitals off with her own hands, but Mary said that it was better for Occisor to
THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN SELENE AND HADES, PART. 1.Nothing was more radiant than the smile on Selene's face. Her inheritance had returned to her. As at the moment it is day, and her cousin Helium who rules it, now she can rest and enjoy... Well, enjoy only a third of her real happiness.In the recreation area at her father's castle, sitting on the edge of a waterfall, she has her thoughts away from there, but specifically in the kingdom of the underworld. The smile gradually dies on her lips. Despite loving the inheritance that Licaus left her, Helium gave her a gift that nothing is more valuable.Selene has a daughter, being conceived by the goddess of the moon and the sun god, Persephone is the embodiment of beauty in its purest form. Her being is pure and kind. Her beauty has always attracted everyone's eyes, whether of desire or hatred. Her long dark blue hair, her golden skin and her ocean blue eyes. A body with curves and full breasts, all the male gods wanted her in their bed. Th
LORDE'S DESTINED IS BORN"Come on, Margaret, answer me!" Mary commands.It's been three days since Occisor ascended as the supreme alpha, and now he is known by his birth name, Rodolf."You know what? Yes, it was me! I couldn't stand losing you and Occisor every day to her!""I can't believe what I'm hearing," Mary shakes with her head.Sasha said that a human shot her with two tranquilizers and so she was caught by her late father. Mary investigated what happened and the officer told the truth.Sasha asked her not to tell Rodolf, he was already too busy and creating a disagreement between him and his sister would not be good. And as she sees the two as children, she knows each other's temperament and this time, one of them would end up dead and it would certainly be her daughter."Every day, you could not speak of anything other than her! It was all her! You didn't even ask if everything was okay when I went out alone on a mission. You just wanted to know about her!" Margaret cries w
SELENE STRENGTHENS HER CHOSEN ONEIt's been three hours since Margaret returned from her mission in the city of London. It was strange, she knew that Mary and Occisor would arrive before her. But there's no one on the second floor. With no more patience to wait, she paced down to the ground floor."Where is everybody?" Margaret questions an officer."I don't know, ma'am. I didn't see them leave."Margaret returns to the second floor.Where are you? She sits at the window watching the. sunset.In the genuine alpha's castle…In the twilight between the end of the day and the beginning of the night, the smell of several wolves approaching causes the genuine alpha and all the other lycanthropes to be on alert. They're approaching fast.A strong, cold wind opens the heavy, solid wooden doors. Kratos already assumes that something serious was happening, gets up and walks quickly to the entrance hall that is meters in front of the room where the slaves are.When he gets there, he sees all th
IT'S TOO LATE TO WANT TO BE A MOTHERThe torture room is cold. Sasha is already awake, the bruises on her body are already healed, and so are her bones. Thanks to the abundant amount of food that she ingested in the last two months, her body only took six hours to join the broken bones, healing them completely.The smell of burning flesh, again that smell, makes Sasha's stomach stir. No matter how well she feeds, her body cannot heal the skin of her neck that is constantly bruised by the silver-coated collar. Even if it hurts her soul, she refuses to scream in pain.The sound of footsteps approaching makes her stay alert. By the scent she knows it's the genuine alpha. Please, come quickly, Sasha thinks of Occisor, but doesn't leave her thoughts open, the last thing she wants is for her father to make an ambush for her mate, just as he prepared for her."Oh, you're already awake," Kratos enters the room. Sasha doesn't move a muscle.He observes her body. Yesterday's injuries were sever
THE REJECTED ONE RETURNS TO HIS HOME"Do we have a deal?" Angèle asks with her hand extended towards Occisor."Yes," he shakes the first princess's hand.Now they were officially allies.The conversation lasted about five minutes, Angèle made it clear that her goals are only peace, and that she will do what is necessary so that the little ones can see tomorrow."When do we go?" Mary asks, adjusting her leather coat.Mary's brain is full of serotonin, finally the war is coming to an end, well, at least between two races. The adrenaline rushes through her veins as if she was still in her first four hundred years of vampire life."Now,". Occisor smiles.Even with a smile on his face, inside his chest tightens. After so long, he's returning to his home to proclaim his place through a dispute. It's not something comforting, but he needs to do it, not just because the goddess herself asked him to, but because Sasha is in danger. He needs to save her and in a challenge or not, in the end, an
SELENE REVEALS HER PURPOSE"You need to talk to her.""She won't accept my wishes.""And you won't accept hers.""But a pup…""You and Sasha are not like the others, raise your cubs to be like you.""I… I don't know... It's only been ten years since I was born. I don't feel ready to be a father."Mary smiles. Occisor says that because he was raised among humans. Alphas couples have as a priority the generation of offspring for the creation of the pack, but Occisor doesn't think like that and observing the human world, human parents act differently from lycanthropic parents; and Occisor had only examples of parents in the human world."Talk to her about it, be gentle and tell her you're both still young, that you want to mature a little more and have them when the world is less dangerous. I know that if you use the right words she will understand and love you for showing such concern for the well-being of your future cubs."Occisor pondered Mary's words, and felt good. That was it. He
ONLY THE GENUINE ALPHA CAN PUT HER DOWNThe room was bathed in the light of the dancing fire on the torches. The silence reigns on the table. The only sound is the chewing of the genuine couple.As soon as they returned to the palace, the wolves went to the dining room. Sasha was pulled out of the bag and thrown into some corner of the room, drawing the disgusted gazes of the other females of the pack.The females, under the command of the genuine lunam, took care of the hunt, while the males went in search of the killer.After half an hour, when the meal was released to the betas couples, Sasha opened her eyes. It takes a few seconds to get her vision focused. Her father's figure stands out in her eyes; they widen and in her mind she curses at having been so careless. Sasha notices her naked body and feels her face blush. No one but Occisor should see her that way."How did you find me?" she asks as she tries to hide her nakedness with her hands, drawing everyone's attention to hers
SASHA IS CORNEREDOne moon later…Even after a week had passed over their discussion, Sasha became cold and no longer gave herself to her mate. She ignored him and this situation was leaving Mary with her hair standing.Occisor went back to being rude. With the coldness coming from his female, Occisor took all the missions for himself, staying out of the house all day, sometimes for more than just a day. Sasha is no longer eating at the table and every morning she hunts alone in the forest, spending the rest of the day inside the library reading.It is no different. Hunting and reading, those are Sasha's favorite things to do.Sasha walks with slow steps, she is not hungry, but refuses to go a day without eating. She's been hungry too long, and now that she has a way to feed on her own, she won't spoil it with sad feelings. It would be an insult to everything Guila has done for me, is what she thinks whenever she feels like not getting out of bed.That idiot. Ugh, she always curses Oc
AN OUTBURST"Is there a problem?" Mary questions watching Margaret at her door."Not quite. I was just remembering the past.""Good memories, I hope," she says as she combs her black hair."You really are soft, you can hardly say that you are the same Mary as before," Margaret enters Mary's room and sits down on the bed."What does this mean?" Mary sits down too."You were once feared, the terror of the supernatural. In your eyes was notorious your hatred and contempt for them. You were a cold, calculating person. How did you get like this? I admired you so much, I wanted to be like you, but... Ever since Occisor came here… You haven't been you. "Mary sighs. She remembers who she was, she remembers all the hatred she has nurtured in her brain, she remembers the son who has been taken away from her and who hates her more than anything. But now, with the family she'd built, with the scene she'd seen when she'd adopted Occisor, all her hatred had become grief and sorrow. Her view of the
