The vampire lordAs we approached the great Hall, I felt my heart pound with fear.Fear for how my father would react to the whole thing.Would he be understanding? Would he refuse to listen to reason?Tys continually rubbed my fingers, subconsciously giving me support and lending me his strength. I thought about every thing that has happened since we got here, and thought how it would be a waste of time, if my father refuses Tys help.Yes, he is that proud and stubborn, and even if he accepts Tys help, what about Maugrim? would he agree to a truce in the light of the fact that his daughter is already pregnant. Surely he would not want to lose his daughter's love just because of a stupid beef he has with my father. Surely, he would reason that destroying his enemy's kingdom would alienate his daughter forever. He wouldn't want that, would he? I hope he was at least sensible enough to not to let his thirst for revenge override his love for his daughter.Both my father and Maugrim need
Mysteries"Now, will someone tell me what the fuck you have planned to do about this ticking bomb you guys have started?" my father demanded. He sat down again in his chair, and tapped his fore finger on the table in furious impatience.Arrax glanced at me, sending me a message to talk.I swallowed nervously. Okay, here goes nothing."father, when we found out that Kimi was pregnant, we decided to come back home to help in the war or even stop it" There was a look of half interest on his face at the beginning of my speech, but now, he just erupted in laughter.What was so amusing? I thought, clenching my teeth in anger.I continued "I know it is funny in theory, but we can achieve it with-" he didn't let me finish, he chimed in rudely which I hope he did unconsciously."I'm sorry, Hera, but I have to break it to you, because I see that Arrax and co did not bother to educate you on that part...you see, it takes more than an additional three people to an army to actually win a war" he s
A shocking revelation"oh God!" said Amarog, stunned, plonking down on a nearby chair, his face frozen in shock. His hands were trembling.I was astonished by such reaction to my mother's name. Kasla stood up and ran to her husband, stooling down before him and taking his hands in hers in concern "Amarog! what is the matter?" she asked in alarmAmarog did not answer. I was not even sure that he heard. He was busy staring at me, an amazed look on his face.What was the matter with him? Why was he behaving like he just saw a ghost?Hera came to stand beside me, her face lined with worry for her father.'any idea why he is being like this?' she sent to me'I have no idea, Hera, it is a mystery to me too." I replied, taking her hand in mine. I burned to kiss her her then and there but it was not the right time, I reasoned."Tys" called Amarog in a whisper."yes Amarog""what your brother told you is true...That man you called your father is definitely not your father" He said, looking at
********thanks guys for reading this far, I appreciate and love you ❤️❤️please don't forget to comment, vote and follow me, thank you so much once again 🙏**********Secrets unveiledNot long after Theo was gone to fetch Lucian, They both walked into the hall. Theo was leading while Lucian followed hesitantly behind him.Sighting her son, Kasla jerked up from her seat and ran to Lucian who picked her up with much ado "Mother" he cried with great pleasure, smiling from ear to ear and planting plenty kisses on her face which made most of the people in the hall smile except his father who looked on without much emotion."oh Lucian, how I have missed you, my son" Kasla said, weeping into Lucian's shirt while he consoled her with much affection.Amarog cleared his throat loudly, stopping the display of affection between mother and son. Kasla slowly went back to her seat, still mopping her wet eyes with a small kerchief while Lucian turned to his father."hello, father" he said dryly, bowi
flashback to twenty one years agoNymeria came back home, very tired from the visit to the house of one of the women in the pack whose child had been sick.This morning at dawn, she had woken up to the frantic knocks on the door of her house by Trinity, the woman. She had reluctantly left her bed and the warmth of her husband, Beowulf who was still sleeping peacefully on their bed and fled outside to see what the disturbance was about. As the Luna of the pack, one of her jobs was to take care of every member of the pack aside from helping her husband run the pack efficiently of course.She had met Trinity crying profusely at the door, lamenting about the poor sick child, so she had gone back inside to tell Beowulf where she was going to and then she looked in on her three eldest children who were all sleeping peacefully in their respective rooms and then woke the nursemaid up to look after the baby, Akela.She had then followed Trinity to her home. She had found out that the child,
Nymeria and AmarogNymeria left Texas to Pittsburgh, and lodged in a very luxurious hotel there. She had made sure she was very far away from Beowulf because she was pretty sure that he would already be searching all over the country for her with the help of his minions.She knew that the decision to leave her family especially her husband was a good idea.Since she married Beowulf, she had barely had time for herself.She had married him nine years ago, when she was just twenty two and he was thirty two.Her father had been the alpha of the tricities pack and Beowulf had been his beta.Her father had had no sons to take over from him as alpha, so he had betrothed her to his beta. When her father had died, she had been studying medicine at Texas state University and was in her third year.She had quickly rushed back home to his death bed and his funeral.Two weeks later without being allowed to complete her studies, she was married to Beowulf, grief stricken and yearning to go back to
The birth of a lifelong rivalryAmarog's business partner was actually a fellow vampire lord who shared land boundaries with him.In the past two months, the two vampire lords have been disturbed by a mutual problem which is in the person of a lower rank vampire, Tristan, Amarog's nephew, who had suddenly gone mad.Tristan has been committing all sorts of crimes not limited to killing humans which has raised a lot of eyebrows from the human authorities. In just two months, Tristan has killed up to two hundred humans, including women and children.The media had then started asking questions and , some were already pointing fingers at the supernatural beings, but we're thankfully not believed by anybody.This was bad business for every vampire, as they might be forced to come out of their hidings and face a world where they would never be accepted.So Amarog and Maugrim, being the most powerful vampires in the vampire council decided to have a meeting and discuss how they would solve th
The presentThe hall grew quiet when Amarog finished his story.Tys was shocked to learn that his mother was so beautiful that she could make two powerful men hold bitterness and malice against each other just because of their love for her.But he was angry that the man he had always thought was his father was nothing but an infidel. How dare he break his mother's heart repeatedly the way he had? Did he know that he was not his father? Was that why he was so callous to him, surely if he had been his real father,he wouldn't have treated him the way he had? Tys asked himself so many questions in his heart, questions he didn't have answers to.He ached to see his mother and ask her these questions that were eating him up from the insides.Hera squeezed his sweaty hand in support and he squeezed hers back too, feeling so grateful to her. If it hadn't been his love for her, he probably would be on his way to his pack to confront Beowulf and his mother.He looked at Kimi who was sitting so
