Chapter 1
Frederick Claw ~
“Claudius, you and your men would storm in through the Northern gates of the castle.”
“Henry, get your men ready for the extraction as soon as Claudius and his men have broken in. The mission is to rescue the lycan queen, Alessia out of that castle and taken here safe and unharmed.” “I believe the royal family have had their fill of time in those filthy dungeons.”
“Gregory, I hope you have those potions ready because we are going to need them in getting rid of the army of lycan packs that would be after us, the instant we get the queen off their hands.”
“Sofia and Morgana, all you ladies have to do is to ensure the queen’s medical safety. As we all know, the queen is pregnant with the next –rightful- heir to the lycan throne. It is your duty to make sure that she remains in good health and has a safe and appropriate delivery if ever the situation comes into
Chapter 2Frederick Claw ~“Sofia, Morgana, get her inside.” I said stroking Alessia’s white hair. “Save her! Save my sister!” I added splitting two more arrows aimed at Alessia in half.“My Lord, we shall do all that we can.” “I promise you.” said Morgana taking Alessia from my blood stained hands and into hers mumbling some words as she made her way back into the coven.The coven gates went solid shut behind her. I looked all around and found all the troops to be in position. The archers were in formation and the swordsmen were all ready to protect our coven and the queen.Funny enough, the lycan queen was being protected by my vampire warriors. Odd, isn’t it?The lycans charged to the coven but with a single howl which I presumed to be some sort of signal, they all stopped in their tracks, still in their lycan appearances.“Let’s get straight to the point, your

Sofia Xanders ~“My lord, we shall do all that we can. I promise you.” I heard morgana say taking the queen Alessia, my best friend from the arms of the vampire king.Walking beside her, I could hear her do some magical enchantments as she brought the unconscious queen into the gates of the royal coven. Alessia was taken to the healing chambers underneath the coven.“Potens est, quaeso auxilium tuum. Dea dona nobis succurrat validus.” said Morgana as she placed Alessia in the cool spirit waters that for centuries acted as a means of divine healing for all those who implored it from the moon goddess.“We are losing her Morgana!” I said to Morgana as I placed my hands on Alessia’s temple.I could feel her weakness. She had been through a lot of pain. It was a miracle that in spite of all that, I could feel the unborn child growing perfectly without any complications.“Her only hope now is the god
Chapter 4Frederick Claw ~I watched as the dude who seemed to be the leader of the entire army of lycans placed his hand into a small parchment and brought out a diminutive bottle that appeared to contain a red-colored liquid.He brought the bottle in contact with his lips and in a single gulp, emptied the contents inside his mouth. He let out a loud and somehow dreadful roar afterwards.“Now the real battle begins!!!” said the leader fully transformed into a mutant lycan. “Get out of my way.”Mutant Lycans are very rare and most of all, very powerful. They possessed the powers of the average lycan but just in a thousand fold. I, as a vampyre haven’t seen up to five mutant lycans in my tens of thousands of days and every encounter with one was never pleasant except with the deceased lycan King, Leonard Wolfs.There was a common reason why the experiences stood never pleasant, the same reason why nature made the
Chapter 5Frederick Claw ~I screamed in excruciating pain as the enchanted arrows met my skin. The enchantment done on the arrows prevented me from healing all around that area. They were so stuck into me that merely touching them caused unimaginable pain.Still struggling in pains to get rid of those arrows, the supreme lycan came and pushed them further into my body and I was helpless to stop him.He pushed them so deep that only a key sized length remained on the outside. Then in a flash, he pulled two out of me. I yelled as blood flowed out of those particular points without any obstruction.“I will make you feel pain worse than you can ever imagine!” the supreme lycan said gripping my head with his gigantic palm.“… Are. You. Sure. About... That??” I said and to my surprise Sofia, my wife with the aid of a warlock used their powers to constrain and immobilize him on the air.“Freddy!!”

Chapter 7Sofia Xanders ~After I came out of the portal, I found myself lost. One thing was sure and that was the fact that I am in a land that I’ve never been to before. Everything was so strange-looking. I held the child in my arms walking aimlessly down the roads.“Hello! Excuse me? Are you lost?” a lady asked seeing Sofia and the young infant in her arms walking aimlessly about the city dressed awkwardly.“Ye… Yes… I … Am.” Sofia replied walking to meet the lady.“I guess you’re really new around here. Aren’t you? Just got off the plane right?” the lady alleged noticing the clothing put on by Sofia.“Where is ‘here’ exactly?” Sofia asked turning around to the world filled with technology all around her.“This is New York City, of course.” “You look confused and like you could need somewhere to lay your head. Mind s
Chapter 8Sofia Xanders ~“A burden?” Grace alleged giving out a little titter. “The fact that you are really new around here doesn’t mean that you’ll be a burden to anyone who dims it fit to assist you to get back on your feet.” “I can help you get a job here and your own apartment. That is if you want me to?” she said making the car turn.“A job? What’s a job?” I asked totally oblivious of what the term was.“You’re joking right?” she replied giving out another chuckle. “I don’t know if you have another meaning of the word ‘job’ where you come from but here, that’s how mostly everyone makes some money to cater for their needs.” she added.Until now, I had no idea that both the world that I came from and this world were completely different. I expected a few variances but come on, a job? I don’t remember having one of those
Chapter Seven DEUCALION I lay her down on the bed I hope to share with her from now on, and gaze down at her curvy figure. My mate is gorgeous. I never thought I would find her. Shit, I gave up thinking she was dead so don’t blame me for marking her the second I had the chance. She has the heart of a hybrid Alpha in her hands; she just doesn’t know it yet. ‘Cover her nicely,’ Karnage, my wolf, says in a low whisper, calming down for the first time since he picked up her scent. I smile, realizing this is the first time the word ‘nice’ came out of him. I came to New York to appease my uncle’s wishes of attending the wedding of a friend’s daughter. Karnage went crazy the instant I drove into the venue. I didn’t know what it was about until I picked up the heavenly scent surrounding the hall. The most shocking thing happened when I walked in and both Karnage and Kanine said the word, MATE when my eyes met hers. I swear to the Goddess, if I didn’t have good reason to be there, I
Chapter 12James Harvey ~“You shouldn’t be saying this nonsensical words to me! If you have any issue with the message that I just delivered, I advise you go and rain them down on Cassius himself and not I.” I said with a grunt as I leapt to the healing pool where we got our health from through Cassius.Amongst all the creatures who has step foot into the lycan lands, I was the only one privilege to call who they know as ‘the almighty’ by his actual name ‘Cassius’. I was given some respect and fear as the supreme leader over all the leagues of lycans under the rule of Cassius.Rather than respond verbally to what I just said, Aaron just fixed a firm glance at me and growled heavily. He might be an alpha but right here and right now, I was the alpha of alphas. The only one above me was Cassius.“Like you were to do any better.” he added making me stop in my tracks.“Cont
Chapter 13Ryan McFlame ~For about nine hundred years, I have led the rest of my brothers who survived the awful fate of our kind. We took refuge in the deserts, the only place that nature allowed us to possess.We made it our home.Amongst some other creatures we walked and lived.Our true nature at times brought us some trouble along the way but we always made it out in one piece.All hell was let loose when we were ambushed by some lycan creatures who surprisingly didn’t seem like the ones that I had known them to be. After a brutal fight, we to escape into the skies.After the attack, we knew that someone out there was in for us. We are the last phoenixes that escaped a very powerful curse meant to bring about our extinction so I guess that’s enough reason to have jealousy over us and our abilities.But what’s the point if we are immortals? Even if the certain someone catches us there&rs
Chapter 15Alessia Claw ~After I had shown Ryan and the rest of the league of phoenixes to where they could pass the night, I went straight to mine. About six hours ago, I was a locked up prisoner to one of the most or rather, the cruelest being in existence but I still had my child.I still had my Elena.I thought by escaping to meet my brother Frederick, we both would be safe but it seems that even the royal army of vampyres were no match for the sole mastermind surrounding what has happened to my kingdom and is gradually spreading all through this world – Lord Cassius.Along the way, I lost my baby to the human world without an iota of hope that I’ll always be there form her. My best friend, Sofia had to become the one who is to be her mother there.I had agreed with Frederick that I won’t try to bring her back until it’s the right time, I won’t have any witch or warlock bring
Chapter 16Alessia Claw ~“How is that happening say more of possible?” Morgana asked ending the mirror spell. “Weren’t the extinct ancestral warlocks and witches the only ones capable of making such portals at will? Even my magic can’t make a portal such as that.” she added with a grin on her face.“Yes! That’s a problem but right now, we have more to worry about and these lycans and the man whom I suspect to be their master are ranking the list.” “Go and get Frederick! We have to sound the coven’s alarm. Those lycans are going to be here anytime and I have a bad feeling that it’s for the both of us.” I added letting Morgana know that I meant those words.Without another word, Morgana headed to Frederick’s chambers while I went for Liam’s. I got there and knocked on the doors of his chambers. With a stern face, he opened the
Chapter 18Ryan McFlame ~“My master needs you alive and going if not, I would have loved to make bird soup out of you.” The lycan added walking up to me.“In your dreams!” I said making a ball of fire in my hands and threw it at him while my bruise healed.“Don’t waste your strength.” he said dodging the fireball. “Cassius is getting your abilities. The sooner you and they all accept that, the quicker we can get out of this coven.” he added raising me up with both hands by the neck.“Not on my watch!!!” stormed Frederick running the lycan through with his sword by the chest. “I told you to get off the back of the Royal family! You should have listened! You should have never came near Alessia!!!” he added taking the sword deeper into his chest.“Caaassiuus!!!” screeched the lyca

Chapter 17Ryan McFlame ~Together, I and my brothers got ourselves prepared for the worst and finding Frederick and Morgana, they followed us to what those in the Eastern coven referred to as ‘The Control Room’. It was a very wide and spacious room with screens, switches and controls on one side out of four, and a couple of weapons on another side opposite to that. I watched as the lycans made their way through the gates and then proceeded into the coven.Frederick made us all equip and arm ourselves. Like him, I had no intentions of going down without a fight. The mission of those lycans is unclear so we all would have to take extreme caution. The lycans went straight to our direction. In a short while, they were just at the opposite side of the door leading in and out of the control room.At the same time as they were doing their best to break the heavy door down, a man appeared behind R
