Ellie

I lost consciousness in the woodlands of Black Park, which I've always known to be my home all my life. For all I knew, I was running so fast on my paws at one moment, and the next thing, I was lying still at the large gates of the Park house; my limbs felt wobbly and shaky beneath me.

I had no idea how I managed to make it this far to this point still alive, and I wasn't sure I wanted to be told how. My clear white furs were stained with blood that had dried and become tacky; I refused to bring my mind to know the source of the blood either. All I just wanted right now was my mate; I wanted him to wrap his firm arms around me and declare that I was safe, even though a large part of me knew that it was false. I was doomed. Still, his words might and could go a long way.

What had happened to me? Who must have done this to me? Why can't I remember a single thing? I hope this wasn't the effect of his compulsion. As far as my brains could search, I was told Isla walked into the trap of the Royalties.

My sister was held to the neck by the dangerous claws of Van, the vampire king…I went into the dwellings of the Royalties. My mind, totally blank on what had happened next.

The wounds in my chest that were now healing up were sealed up in a horrid and untraceable memory, but the strong scent of strange blood needled my fur in the most torturing and dominating way...the healing course of the blood was proof enough that none of what had happened to me was a dream. I was trapped in a forgotten ride. It was more like an already existing nightmare.

A pair of loafers came into my line of view. “Where are you coming from at the crack of dusk?” Eamonn's voice echoed in the bridge of my weak senses. I felt too weak to take my gaze to him. “Go and get her a blanket, Brant.” He ordered his right man, who was a human and like a son to him. The Beta of the crescent park. He stormed off to get Eamonn’s request, leaving dust at his feet for me to inhale. I choked on the polluted air for a moment, but I perceived no less pungent scent that was more than in one on my skin.

There was someone else by his left; I couldn't make anything of the man that stood on his left side. Too weak for that. Brant returned in an instant with a black blanket just as he left. I managed to haul up on my paws but fell to the ground just immediately, lying to the side of my stomach. I could almost get a proper view of the three of them; the one by his left was no other person than my godfather, Murray. He looked straight into the space with folded arms. I'm looking into the eyes of someone I had as a father figure since the death of my parents.

Brant came forward with the blanket he held in his hands to cover up my wife when Eamonn put out his hands to hold him off. “Stand back, Brant.” His loud command made Brant stop in his tracks. Brant stood up straight, looking Eamonn in the eyes, who had eyes glued to me.

I heard snarls behind me; my gaze reverted to the rest of the Park members, some of whom were already in their wolf forms, most of them. They kept their distance while they watched me intently like I was some wild beast encroaching on their territory. They bared their long fangs at me like I was a serious threat they needed to eliminate before something more deadly than what they knew would sprout from me. Why? Was I now a stranger, or could they not recognize me any longer? We knew each other's scent; that's how we knew our kind. I wasn't having my scent. It felt like it was stolen from me and replaced with another of a different kind. I couldn't recognize my own scent anymore due to the blood that was masked on my fur.

My wounds had healed up, giving me a little strength to haul up. I received a restraining order from Eamonn's men once I did. “Do not get up!” He said as he slowly circled me, he reached for a gun—loaded with silver slugs—in the pocket of his pants. He made his way slowly to my side, pointing the gun to the core of which my blood pumped.

My thoughts were going wild. What had I done to deserve this from my own people? “She smells of foreign blood. An enemy's blood. A vampire's blood. She's now one of them, and as such, she will be killed on sight.” The look of disgust was bright on his face. Only his voice was what echoed in my head, plus the sound of the trigger he pulled. My mate, pointing a gun loaded with silver slugs at me. I would have sworn this day would never come to taste the bitterness of humiliation. Nausea filled my gut, threatening to erupt to the surface. What was he talking about? What was happening? Murray. I looked into the eyes of my godfather, who stood present like he was absent, his lips folded into a thin line. “Throw the blankets over her blankets over her, Brant.” Eamonn ordered Brant, who stood shocked by his side as his eyes were pinned on mine.

Brant is unfortunately the only one who wasn't able to smell the vampire scent Eamonn spoke of. Why? Because he was a human. But Eamonn taught him how to fight. He was more skillful in fights than most of the actual wolves. Brant did as he was told, throwing the blanket over me while keeping his distance. I'm supposed to be scared of the gun pointed at me, but I'm not. My heart, which was going to be shot by my mate, was supposed to race ten times faster than normal, but for some sort of reason, it didn't. Instead I'm trying to wrap my mind around what had just been said about me. “You betrayed us, you betrayed your Park, you betrayed me.” I tried to talk with him through our mind link, only to discover that it had been breached. I shook my head ruefully as there was no way to communicate through our mind link. At least he would be able to see it in my eyes that I knew nothing about what he'd just said about me. I didn't betray you or my park either; I do not know what's going on. I'm still yours; I'm still the Ellie you've always known. His eyes narrowed as he gripped the hand of his gun tightly. Like he could read through my thoughts, he said, “The blood on which you’re stained is that of a vampire.”

My bones crunched; my wolf gave way for my human form. “Please, Eamonn, I don't know what you mean by…”

“I would only spare your life if you leave this park and never show your face in it. As I, Alpha Eamonn, and now your former mate, have commanded, you are hereby caught from the spawn of the forewolves of Black Park.”

    Ellie That hatred for vampires boils hot in the hearts of my people. We hated them, their ways of life and the way they made us feel less of ourselves. For years, all my life, I've never seen any reason to harbour the same hate my people had for the vampires. I only saw them as a different species from us, because that was literally all they were. My people, the werewolves, said I smelled like one of them, like the vampires and I agreed, even if I knew too well that I had no close idea of how I had their scent on my skin. The damp leaves under my feet crunched as I ventured deep into the forest of Black Park, the border with us and the Royalties. I was back to where I ran from. I let down my blanket to let Ee, my wolf, out. I named her Ee because of the obvious, the first letter of my name. I closed my eyes, allowing myself to go deep into my senses while I let Ee out; I felt the thickness of her legs; they had gotten stronger. What a quick recovery. I shifted to my wolf so I coul

    Ellie “What? That is impossible.” “The vampire king, Vanchure, is all there is to think of except one to make mistakes. What he did was probably planned and carried out just how he wanted it. It's the reason we have no idea.” “She has been asleep for so long, Manny. I hope she's still conscious." The audible conversation of two people interrupted my sleep. My eyes slowly opened, and the smoky notes of cinnamon and cloves hit my nostrils. I stared at the ceiling, giving my blurry vision time to become more clear. I took my gaze downwards. There Murray and an elderly woman I couldn't recognize stood. A dull look on his face as he wipes his face with his palms. As if taking in my presence for the first time in a long time, the two people turned their gazes to me. The old woman looked calm, but it wasn't the same with my godfather. His face showed a look of uncertainty. Worry lines displayed on his forehead. A slight frown. And furrowed eyebrows.“Oh, love. You're awake.” Murray's

    Van25 years ago.It was Eamonn's doing to always try to unite the two kingdoms. We were two types of entities living symbiotically in our beloved mystical world. It's a hard time keeping his filthy dogs on leashes; they always tend to stir up a fight with my people at rendezvous like this. So for the peace meeting, we stood side by side. Kingdom to kingdom to consecrate Shirlon’s temple, which was built by the soldiers and financially sponsored by the royalties.Although no one between the two kingdoms had the nerve to speak of it, there was a thick air of an undying hatred that has been passed down for centuries. There were some wolves I could see pointing hot lasers from their eyes to the skin of my people. I'm sure my people did the same too. This act was new. We were fruits that bore grudges from a long time tree. Eamonn stood with his people, and I, with mine. The temple that was built by quarrying and sculpting huge stones had a foundation bound with the blood of I and my bro

    ElliePresent day.“It won't last long. She's growing stronger.” “What wouldn't last long?”“She’s supposed to drink from her sire first, before she drinks from a human. The blood thirst will return once the human blood in her system wears off.” “And that will be when?”“Couple of hours. Twelve hours max.” “Then we have to keep feeding it to her. Till…”“Till when, Murray?...”It's morning, judging by the quietness and chirping of the forest birds. It's the second time I'm falling into a deep sleep since I returned from Thorx Coven. This time, I dreamt of me with sharp fangs, sucking from the wrist of… fuck… I grew out of my blurry vision. I wanted to search my lips if it was not just me dreaming of what Murray and Manny discussed. With my eyes wild open, I stare at the both of them having a whispering dialogue. I wasn't dreaming. Their words were my reality. I'm being held back by a thick leather belt holding me back to the bed. The clattering noise of the metal of the leather str

I knew who it was; that's why I'm not asking who it was.“Come in,” I readjusted myself on my bed. The last place I wanted to be was in the throne room.My head was bowed when the person fated to dent the peace of my morning stepped in.“Good morning, Alpha Eamonn.” A park maiden greeted me; it wasn't who I was expecting, but…I smelled chamomile tea just as she entered. Like another day, I would have wanted to drink that tea, but today was a lot more different. The scent of the tea did nothing to erase the strong scent that was laced on Ellie's fur. How could I erase my senses? My bed reeks of her smell. The sweet scent of her flawless skin. It was hard to sleep knowing that I wouldn't be able to envelop myself in her sweetness.

    Isla I was asked on my way here if walking in on Eamonn in the throne room would be worth getting me killed, and I had an answer. Yes, it will be worth it. Maybe I would have the chance to know why he would turn his back on my sister, his mate, because she was a little unlucky in her dumbass adventure, just before I die. He didn't even give me a chance to speak to her before he threw her out of the park. I don't know her whereabouts right now. What if she's dead? I'm pointing this gun directly at the Alpha of Black Park, the Alpha of my Park, without fear of death. Although I doubt he would want to show his thorough form, his cruelty to the people present in the throne room. I, Ellie, and my godfather have been witnesses to his cruelty. He sits on the throne, glaring at the gun I held out to him. “How foolish could you be, Isla? You didn't only disrupt my meeting with the tillers before it started; you pointed a gun at your Alpha?

    Murray Isla held me close as I supported quite a portion of my body weight on her. I placed my hands on the wounded spot; I felt life slowly draining out of me as my blood flowed through the firm grip. The bandage on my chest was soaked with my blood; it was failing. Could barely hold the blood from gushing. Luckily we got to Manny's house on time; my sister sensed I was in distress and pulled through for me. She always does since I was the last person close to her to be called family. “Because the shot was taken so closely, the wound is deep. It will take a while to pull out the silver slug.” She examined the wound as she spoke, “Get ready to welcome the excruciating pain, brother.” She added, "I don't think preparing me for an incoming painful experience was what I wanted at this point. I had a reason for making an entrance at the throne room; I knew Isla was to be there. After being compelled by the vampire king, she knows nothing of what went down. She knows nothing of what her

    Ellie For 21 years of my life, I've had that book with me. It was gifted to me by the vampire king, the man I dreaded the most deep down. I read it word for word. I read it to heart. During the times of my childhood, I read it as bedtime stories; reading it calmed my mourning soul. It helped me find the right paths of love even after having to lose my parents, the only ones I thought that cared about us. It led me to Murray, the man who found me wandering in the park's library in search of more books to read. He offered it to me at my lowest point in my life when I felt all hope was lost. When I felt lost. And ever since then, I have gathered more books that speak of the Royalties and their sophistication. It had a lot of history and cultures of the Royalties. Which I felt was totally true until I began to tell Isla about the whole compelling stuff. It was the first time in 21 years I was meeting with him after the consecration of Shirlon’s temple.

    Ellie I sat up from the bed, rubbing my eyes with the back of my palm, and then squinted my eyes to see this image in front of me clearer. “Where's Isla?” Was the question I asked after taking a moment to stare at the naked corpse that took my image? It was her I first thought of; I mean, before I fed from a certain human and was put to sleep by the witch, I can remember Isla asking if she was the one to be used for Murray's strange cooked-up story. I glanced at Manny for a reply, but instead of offering me a once tangible answer, she asked with a cocky smile, “Do you like the masterpiece?” I looked at her like she was speaking. I had just woken up from a horrific dream, and I was taking on another ride of horror in real life, and the least she could do not to give me a death scare was to ask if the blood-stained corpse lying with a hole in her chest was a nice piece of art. Wait, did she do this? “Manny, is this your doing?” I asked the still smiling old lady. I've known her for jus

    Van I watched Gira get ready to leave for the search; he wasn't close to being as drunk as I was. In the few minutes we spent talking, I drank two more bottles of cider. No, three. Okay, four. I accused him of being with it and these while because even in my drunk state, I knew they weren't on the shelf. He was in no denial; truly, he had a few bottles he'd stocked for himself. I asked him to get me some from his abundance of plenty. Too drunk to care about anything else apart from drinking my immortality away.He was at the doorway when I called out, “Yes, sire,” he replied just immediately. Did I call him too harshly? Maybe I did; I don't know, whatever. “Get me Edgar on your way out, alright?” I said in a voice that was always reserved for my drunken state. “Yes, sire.” I could barely notice him bow and exit when I threw my head back onto the sofa. The intoxicated state I was in at the moment was literally my best state ever. To put it out to you, I am not always drunk, but in

    Ellie It was a heavy downpour on a cloudy night. It grew rapidly in straight, silvery steel rods. It clattered onto the ground and onto the roofs of several houses as I walked by. The thunder roared furiously as electrifying lightning zipped over the night sky, then settled to a softer, continuous rumble, which was absorbed by the sound of the rain. I stood in front of a dark alley, drenched in the heavy rain, wondering how fast my cold feet could keep up with the trudge. The smell of wet earth fills my nose. I decided to take a shortcut to get myself back to the Park house. I have to be at the park house before Eamonn gets to the park house. So, I began walking into the alley; the wet wall looked like it would close up on me. Goosebumps appeared on my skin as I rubbed on my arms. “Oh, what a steamy bath I will get once I'm home,” I thought to myself in the spine-chilling cold. I had gotten to the middle of the alley when I heard footsteps from a distance behind. I stopped in my tr

    Van“Find that little wolf,” I seethed, turning to the vampire who materialized himself to my side. “Yes, sir,” Gira said. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see his men all lying in sight. They had gone in search of Ellie but came back with nothing. “I already have three teams fanning out of the coven in search of whom you seek, sir.” Gira said as he walked behind me. “Make it eight, moron.” I snapped, “Send more of your men. I want every one of you I've housed in my palace scouring every inch of Shirlon until she's found.” “Right away, sire,” he said as I stalked into my art room. This area of my mansion was void of any vampire. I need no one here to protect me; I've got that already covered. The rest of the vampire guarded the other parts of the mansion except here. No one dared to come here except when they were summoned. But I had company, an old raven I had gotten for centuries. It plays a special role for me, to help deliver letters assigned for special occasions, like lett
