Sarah's deadQuick steps with no stop...Sarah's deadIgnoring anyone who spoke to me or called my name...She's dead, humanHeading to one place only, to get the answers to my many questions...She's dead...I scanned my card and stepped inside the laboratory, making my way to my desk. I had gotten discharged from the hospital and had gotten away with lying to the police, thanks to Sei. The sun was setting, the sky a mix of purple and orange. I could not see the sunset from my lab because it had no windows but I had seen it as I drove to the building.I couldn't ignore this anymore, I had to ask Sei what was going on.That's if he was still even here, he did say that he was planning to escape today. I picked up the grey remote and pressed the two buttons, lifting up both the walls. I wanted him to explain himself, with no glass wall separating us. I wanted to hear everything coming from his mouth. The walls slowly slid up and down, this time it felt like they were taking forever to
"PLEASE MAY YOU ALL STAY WHERE YOU ARE UNTIL SUBJECT MM2077 HAS BEEN RECAPTURED. WE BELIEVE THAT HE IS STILL IN THE BUILDING."I looked up at the red lights, my hands still on my face as I wiped my tears. They had stopped flowing, my emotional pain getting replaced by curiosity. I wasn't sure if I was surprised about Sei- Silas escaping or not. He did let me know so I was not too shocked about it yet hearing the alarms did freak me out.I stood up from the toilet and made my way outside of the stall. I wondered if Mr Hughes was in the building. I still didn't know how the hunt went but since Sharlene came back alive, I'm assuming that all went well for them.Wait, Silas said it was a failed task earlier so perhaps it didn't.I stepped out of the restroom and into the main lobby, where everyone usually sat if they were waiting to be attended to. The exit was closed shut and the blinds were closed, making the only source of light be the red light from the ceiling. It looked like every l
"Can you just drop me off over there?" I asked Damien, pointing towards the entrance of the woods. It was the same one Sarah and I had used at night. Seeing it made me feel saddened all over again. There was a narrow dirt trail leading up to the tall, closely packed trees. Even with the sun out, there was still darkness between the trees, showing just how little light made its way through the canopies."There's no need for that. We're all driving to a motel just outside of the city. It's a couple of miles away so that thing can't track us down." Damien said, driving past the spot I told him to stop. I turned to glare at him, "stop. I'd like to get off.""Why? It's not safe for you. We're in the middle of nowhere. Are you trying to get yourself killed?" "Babe, just let her leave. It's her choice." Sharlene intervened, rubbing his shoulders from the back seat."I just want to ensure that you guys are safe." Damien said, obviously getting frustrated. Sharlene and I stared at each othe
After I took a bath and dressed up, I let Silas lead me to his family. I had worn a long green floral dress and black high heels. I tied my black hair back into a low ponytail and wore a small rose gold chain I found on the dressing table. I wore no make up since it was pretty early into the day.I looked around the mansion as we made our way to our destination. It was a beautiful place, resembling what I've always imagined a palace would look like on the interior. The main colours were rose gold and white, making the place look all the more majestic.We walked down a flight of spiral stairs and that was when I could hear a group of people laughing. Silas held my hand and led me to tall double doors, where the sound was coming from. My heart started beating loudly. I was really nervous about meeting their family, their parents especially. I was his and Sei's soulmate and as much as the concept still confused me, I just knew that it had to be a big deal for them.I took a deep breath a
Sei led me to the opposite direction of the room I had woken up in. I was curious to know where he was taking me but I was more focused on what happened back there with his family. I looked up at him, seeing that his sharp jaw was clenched. I hadn't even noticed that he looked angry until now."What's wrong?" I asked him softly. He looked down at me and unclenched his jaw, lifting my hand up to kiss my knuckles. He didn't say anything but that wasn't a surprise to me. Sei didn't say much compared to Silas. Perhaps he was finding it difficult to word out his feelings in a way for me to understand."It's not that at all." Silas grumbled behind me. I whipped around to look at him, shocked that I had not heard him following behind us. "He doesn't know English. He's still taking lessons." I looked back at Sei with raised eyebrows. He told me that he knew English back at the lab. He cleared his throat softly, looking anywhere but at me, embarrassed that he had gotten caught. 'Sei wanted to
"Why are you crying, cherry pie?"I quickly spun on my heel to see the source of the deep voice that had spoken behind me. I looked at him with widened eyes, my heart hammering loudly in my chest. He stood there with a small smirk on his pink small lips, the side of his body pressed against the door frame. I briefly glanced at his tall and lean frame. He looked much bigger than he had looked during breakfast."Hello, Alexander." I greeted him softly, lifting my hand up to wipe the tears that were now drying on my warm cheeks. The vampire stared at me from head to toe, his ghost of a smirk still gracing his pale yet very attractive face. I've always heard the theory that vampires are incredibly sexy, but seeing one live made me realize that they aren't just sexy.They are more than sexy. "You still remember my name. I'm flattered." He mumbled, his smirk turning into a sweet smile. "Why would I forget it? It's not that hard to remember." I said to him, looking away from him. His glowi
"Elizabeth Taylor was a normal vampire. She wasn't anything special... Until the day she released an evil entity upon our island. She has always been interested in life and death and what happens after death but when our island learned about ghosts, she did something unexpected.She knew that only humans had souls, so she kidnapped and brought one to the island, a six year old boy with a lot of energy surrounding him and she killed him right on this land. She wanted to get in contact with his spirit, and she succeeded. However, the little boy was not a nice spirit, he was angry... Furious even. Furious that his whole future had been taken away because of someone's curiosity. The little boy possessed her, and because of the evil within vampires and the anger of the ghost, Elizabeth became something else. She became a demon."I slowly shrunk into the loveseat. This was beginning to sound more like a horror story than the history of an island."I don't know how, but she managed to let mo
With shaking hands, I slowly got off the floor and leaned against the bookshelf, still trying to figure out what just happened to me.I couldn't believe it. Alexander threatened to kill the twins if I don't follow his 'little arrangement'. I do not even know what he could possibly want me to do. I gulped, slowly making my way out of the library before he decided to come back and finish what he started. He knew this whole time that I was human, just as Sei had been afraid of. That probably means that Sapphire knows too. Why haven't they told the mansion head? Are they hoping to achieve something with this information?I clutched my stomach, feeling sick. It was my fault for following him into the library even when I knew that it was not a good idea. Now he's going to hurt Sei and Silas...Only if I tell them, will he hurt them.I just need to follow his orders and keep my mouth shut. That's all I need to do to ensure that they are safe.Why do I need to protect them again?"Because I
"What exactly happened that's making you panic so much?" Alexander asked, pulling the door of the carriage open with a small yawn."I think your mother tried to speak to me through mind link. I don't know how but I heard many voices screaming for help. I think something has happened back home." I explained, tying my hair back. I looked into the distance, the pale moon just barely lighting over the land.As soon as Sei had asked me what was wrong, I rushed up and packed everything. Silas woke Alexander up, and he was not pleased to be interupted from whatever he was doing in his room."What if you were dreaming?" Alexander grumbled. I glared at him as I shoved my bag inside. "What's with you? Clearly you don't want to leave."Silas smirked, "He's sad that I walked in on him pounding into his little human."I shuddered when the image formed in my head. I did not need to know that.Alexander frowned but didn't say anything, keeping his eyes on the ground. I pursed my lips and suddenly re
Sei took a deep breath and held Elder Norabi's hand. I bit my lower lip in anticipation. This would be the moment of truth. Sei was going to walk out of these packlands holding someones hand. Was it mine, or Daffodils?I looked at Daffodil, seeing her as nervous as I was. Her leg bounced up and down continuously. Sei looked at her and she gave him a smile that was meant to be reassuring. It wasn't, she just seemed even more worried.I would also be scared if I were her. Without Sei, she had no reason to live in the palace. She only lived with us because he was her boyfriend. She would have to find her own place to live. She would be by herself."Sei, may I look through your memories."Sei nodded, "Yes."Elder Norabi closed her eyes for a few minutes, humming in understanding. "You've been through a lot with your brother. It is no surprise you're so confused with everything.""It's been a journey." Sei said with a nod. "Even looking back at my own memories, I still can't believe it.""
It turns out that we did not need to wait long.Alpha Nazari's mother arrived sooner than we expected, way before dinnertime for the rest of the pack. That was great news for me because I didn't want to overstay my welcome."Goodness, I had heard that our queen was beautiful but this is far beyond my expectations." The old lady said, smiling widely. I thanked her for the compliment with a grin, and held her hand in respect. I nearly stumbled back from the amount of power I felt from her. She was very old, even needing a walking stick to help her, but she had the strength of an alpha. "Thank you so much for getting here so soon. I'm sorry if we caused you any inconvenience." I said softly. She waved my words off, "Nonsense! I'm glad that you came by. My name is Norabi, but everyone calls me Elder. I was the packs luna before my son and his wife." "It's lovely to meet you." I said honestly, "I'm sure you already know me and Alexander. This is Sei." I said, turning to show her Sei, wh
Morning soon arrived, and the strange horses made their way back to us. We got up, ate some sandwiches that had been packed for us and freshened up by a nearby stream. When all was packed and ready, our journey to the packlands continued.Another day later, we finally arrived to the Alphas territory. To say it was beautiful was an understatement. It was nearly as perfect as my very own palace.The land was flat and clear of trees, except for the surrounding packlands. Many cute cabins surrounded the area and in the middle of the massive piece of land, stood a mansion I would have never been able to afford back on earth.Our carriage pulled up in front of this mansion, and a tall man walked out from the long double doors to greet us. He wore a fitted grey suit, and his dark hair was pushed back. I could feel power radiating from him, and by how Sei looked at him with hatred, I knew exactly who this was."Alpha Nazari, it is good to see you." I greeted, shaking his hand. His grip was al
Silas threw the tent at Sei and turned to dig for another, his eyebrows furrowing after a few seconds. "Huh," he said softly and turned to the rest of us."There's only one tent." He said. Alexander untied the horse-looking creatures and let them go, "Go hunt and rest. Be back here as soon as morning arrives."The creatures huffed and sprinted away. He sure had a lot of trust in those things. What if they decided not to return?Sei looked at Silas as he untied the tent, "Well, we'll have to share this one. The rest can try and fit in the carriage.""It should fit at least five people." Daffodil stated. Sei nodded, "People, not supernaturals. We are much bigger than human men. I think only three of us will fit, that's only because Akielia and Daffodil are already small in size."So, two guys had to sleep in the carriage together."I'll be sleeping with Akielia." Silas said, reaching for the tent. He snatched it from Sei and started setting it up. A flash of thunder caught my attentio
I watched outside my bedroom window as a carriage was loaded up with our belongings, preparing for our departure to the Nazari Packgrounds. My eyes moved back down to the map in front of me. It was a two day trip in a carriage with two horses, and almost a week long trip on foot. Half a day on a car. "I miss my Porsche," I mumbled. There was a number of things I missed about my old life. Such as the delicious food I left behind, and the pretty fashion we were exposed to. I definitely took those for granted. Here, I was expected to dress like a queen in big uncomfortable dresses, tight shoes and perfect hair. Only when I was training, could I wear something more comfortable. Let's not even get started on the food here. The most normal thing they have is blue potatoes. The door opened and Alexander walked in. I hadn't been sleeping in here, and I knew that everyone else had noticed. Surely, everyone was aware about Silas and I, and I had no doubt that the Heads would want to meet u
"You know, I mean it when I say you didn't cheat. Maybe in human terms you did, but in supernatural laws, you didn't." Silas said to me, peering at me.It was the next morning since Silas and I escaped to go to the lake. I was fully recovered and spending time outside to get some fresh air. Silas was with me as a bodyguard...And my lover."How so?" I asked him."We didn't decide to break up. When two mates verbally agree to become a couple, they kind of seal their bond. A verbal agreement doesn't strengthen or weaken it. It just acts as a seal, the cherry on top. Like when humans get engaged, they seal it with a ring." Silas explained. I nodded in understanding."You and I never broke that seal, meaning that even in my death, you and I were together. Unless we both told each other that we were broken up, we are together." I pursed my lips and wondered why Sei didn't tell me. He never said anything about breaking a supernatural seal. Did that mean he was still my boyfriend, too?"The
"Where have you been?"I stared at the crackling fire in front of me, my hands held out towards it as I warmed up my body. Alexander crossed his arms at me in expectance, but I didn't look at him. I didn't want him to detect my dishonesty."What do you mean?" I asked him after clearing my throat. "I've been here."He looked around my office before stepping closer to me. He fell on one knee to reach meet my level since I was sitting on the floor, wrapped in a thick blanket. I was finally starting to warm up, and I could feel my powers slowly strengthening.I guess extreme cold is my weakness."I checked this place a million times." Alexander pointed out, his eyes turning black. It usually happened whenever he was hungry, but I knew that he was still full after he had fed from that human he was so obsessed with. I wonder if she's transferred to the wolfpack yet.I wanted to speak to her."Are you deaf? She said she was right here." Silas said from the corner of the room. Alexander and
"Four, five!""One, two, three, four, five!""One more time.""...two, three, four."I felt a continuous pressure over my chest, my body immediately responding as I felt everything I had consumed leave my mouth. I turned to the side as water ran through my throat, and I threw it all up. I coughed loudly, my senses slowly returning to me. I could feel a warm hand running over my shoulders, attempting to comfort me.I opened my eyes, seeing nothing but darkness. "My rose, are you alright?" I heard Silas ask me quickly. I was lifted up and placed against a solid chest. I had no doubt that it belonged to him.A gust of cold wind stroked my drying skin, making me shiver."Her lips are blue. We need to get her back home immediately." I heard someone else speak. I also recognized the voice, but I was surprised to hear him here."Sei?" I asked weakly. I barely saw him kneel in front of me and he held my hand. "I'm here." He said softly, brushing my wet hair off my face."What happened?" I ask
