In the quiet of the empty dining room, Sarah, Adrian and I sat, staring at each other.Sarah had something important to tell us."Okay, Sarah. Lay it on us.""Okay..so you remember what Jax had told us about that secret group threatening him to do stuff to sabotage our grove?""Yeah." I answered."I did some digging - don't ask me how, I have my sources - and found out they aren't a rebel group, well they are, but not really. 5 of our hunters have been captured recently for attending those secret meetings and if you'd pay attention like I do during their questionings, they'd always mention of an object, an artifact they're trying to find that they've been ordered to in exchange for a huge sum of money…""An ancient artifact of great power?" Adrian asked."Yes. The hunter that was questioned yesterday blatantly said he attended the meeting and sold his soul to the cause of finding that artifact and retrieving for their..cult, group whatever. So I started thinking to myself, which possi
He bit a part of my neck and I felt a surge of energy run through my body. He had marked me as his. I am already his. There was no denying.This was the first time I was having sex with anyone so I didn't want him to notice my inexperience, but I felt he did and that's why he was slow with me.He slid his right hand down my abdomen, my belly button too sensitive, and traced my core. The tingling of my essence made me shudder. I was completely wet under him."Do you like that?" He whispered into my ear."Uhun." I slowly nodded.He continued to stroke my labia, each movement sending pulsating jerks through my hips. He worked on it till I felt it coming. And then I came undone on him.He took the same finger and licked my essence in front of me. showing that he wanted every part of me. I really liked this side of him.He finally stopped the shower and wrapped a single towel around both our bodies to dry us.I whispered to him, "Adrian, we're not done are we?""Oh, trust me. We've barely
As Aunt Belinda shared more, my mind was overwhelmed. It was hard to understand the huge responsibility I now had. Sarah squeezed my hand, offering her support amidst the whirlwind of emotions.Aunt Belinda continued, cautioning us about the challenges ahead but also encouraging us to embrace our roles and trust in our inner strength."There is a lot to unfold and a lot to happen, my dear ones. No matter what don't lose yourself and don't lose your way. Believe it or not but the fate of this realm now rests on the shoulders of you and your compatriots."Sarah and I sat there, amazed and humbled by the realization that we were part of something much bigger than ourselves. We knew our lives would never be the same.After our conversation, Sarah and I hugged Aunt Belinda before she bed us farewell. As we were about leaving, she called out to me, "And Lily, don't tell your parents about all this now. When the time comes, they'll know themselves."I nodded and waved her goodbye. "Oohh…tho
It was chaos. Screams filled the air, and fear gripped my heart. It was a normal Wednesday afternoon. I was with Jaxon and Adrian on the training field when I started hearing screams. People rushed in through the gates, mostly women and girls.Sarah who was outside the gates came bustling in to meet us."What happened?" Jaxon asked."G…d..He…vam…vampires…they're attacking our men outside…"Our ears stood on alert. Jaxon and Adrian rushed to inform my father and I took Sarah in. The day we finally feared had come. My father's diplomacy was futile and I know Rex would be saying I told you so if he could see what was happening right now.My father ordered all the warriors to arm themselves for battle as the vampires threatened to take down our home. Jaxon was the head of a fleet and they were already sent out into the battleground, out the gates. The gates were barricaded and all the women and kids were instructed by my mother to stay in an underground safe room. Sarah and I tried to l
Adrian and I had a big task ahead of us. Our father wanted to send him to single handedly get help from Tyler's army (yes, he was now the general of the army) but I intervened and stated why Adrain would be unsuccessful if he went alone. "You know how Tyler hates Adrian, father. He won't want to give his fleets to him." I protested."Tyler won't be incompetent to do that in these dire times. He knows better.""And I know him father. His father had gone to gather more allies so the feeling of authority that has settled on his head will only add to his disdain and rudeness. If you send Adrian alone, he would come back alone.""If Jaxon was here I would send him, but God knows where he has run off too!" My father turned and banged the table. Jaxon had disappeared after the recent battle. People who fought with him said he was injured but if he was, why wasn't he brought back? I did worry about him. "Fine! What should be done now?""I will go with him.""No, I can't allow it. It's too da
I couldn't believe what Leo said. It felt like a terrible nightmare. "Wh…what just…" I was speechless. What had just come out of Adrian?Leo smiled at me in absolute revel, "That was your. Adrian, his true nature… That is the real Adrian.""No, I can't…I can't believe it. That's not possible. Get that thing away from him!" I screamed on top of my lungs."I knew you wouldn't believe me easily…Get the chair."I looked in shock. He had commanded a vampire to take Adrian to an "electrocution" chair. Fear and panic took hold of me, and my heart raced as I struggled to understand the seriousness of the situation."Leo, please stop!" I cried out, my voice filled with desperation. "You can't do this! Adrian isn't a monster. He's not a danger to anyone."Leo's eyes narrowed, and his face showed a cold determination. "You don't seem to get it, little wolf. Adrian comes from a family with a cursed bloodline. There's darkness inside him, and it's only a matter of time before it takes over and pu
Henry sat in his study room, feeling really worried and frustrated. He was thinking a lot about what had happened recently, and he wanted to find some answers. So, he decided to call Tyler because it was Tyler who had expected Lily and Adrian.The phone rang loudly, making the room feel full of anticipation. Tyler picked up the phone, and he sounded worried and a little scared. "Hello?" he said."Lily's dad here," Lily's dad said, feeling really urgent. "I need to know if you've heard anything from Lily or Adrian. They're both missing, and I'm getting more and more worried about them."There was a short moment of silence on the other end of the line before Tyler replied, sounding really concerned. "No, I haven't heard from them. After the vampire incident, they didn't come back to our group. I thought they were with you."Henry felt really sad when he heard what Tyler said. He realized that Lily and Adrian were truly gone, and it made him feel hopeless. He said, "No, they're not with
*Theo's POV*I drove alongside my fellow men, their motorcycles speeding intricately through the dense forest. The air was thick with tension as we mentally prepared for a potential vampire attack. Each of us gripped our weapon tightly, eyes darting in every direction, scanning for any signs of danger. My comrades, their faces etched with readiness, exchanged words of encouragement and shared brief moments of levity to cool their nerves."Stay sharp, lads," I called out, my voice carrying above the sound of the engine rums. "We've dealt with these bloodsuckers before, and we'll do it again."A chorus of affirmations filled the air as the men nodded in agreement. We had faced countless threats from the vampire coven. Out dedication to protecting the pack hadn't shaken. I was known for my unwavering loyalty and bravery, qualities that earned me the respect of my comrades.As we continued, conversations filled the spaces between the trees. We shared stories of battles won, recounting tal
*Tyler's POV*I didn't even know it was a dream until I woke up later on.In the dream, Lily, Sarah, Theo and I were discussing our next steps to finding a way to stop more vampires from entering our boundary. We were in the main room. Suddenly, darkness loomed over the grove and I saw through the window, Audrey walking towards the pack with an eerie black fog enveloping her every step.The dark fog surrounded her, and her eyes glowed with an unnatural intensity. "Well, well, well, look who decided to show up," she sneered.We all immediately became alarmed and ran outside.Lily stepped forward, her gaze steady. "What do you want, Audrey?" she demanded."Oh, just to have a little chat with my former friends," Audrey replied, her voice dripping with venom. "You see, I've come to realize that I'm better off without all of you."I felt a surge of anger rise within me. "You betrayed us, Audrey," I said, "We trusted you, and you turned your back on us."Audrey laughed mockingly. "Trust is
The evening was spooky, with fog all around as Leo and Ethan went into the caves. They had to find that medallion so they could be given another chance at summoning their demon lord.Ethan who was also confused as to why their search had changed asked Leo, "I didn't want to seem too inquisitive but I wanted to ask why we're no longer looking for the journal and ring but for…a medallion?""You're so simple minded, Ethan. It is not just any medallion. It is the Bodessa medallion, forged from the breasts of the goddess Odessa hersel, the same breasts the demon Lord rested on and slept with. It is the only artifact that can immediately summon the demon Lord upon calling from it, without waiting for centuries to get a single chance which one may likely flop at."Ethan decided not to ask any more questions but just follow and wait. It was pretty obvious their alliance wasn't strong, and they both had their secret plans.When they reached where the medallion should be, according to what Lily
FLASHBACK *Ethan's POV*"What did you just say?" Pablo's eyes narrowed."I am not doing anything you say until you tell me what you did to Jaxon."My heart pounded in my chest as I stood in front of Pablo. I couldn't hold back any longer as anger and frustration boiled through me. I needed answers, and I deserved to know the truth."I taught him a lesson…a lesson he would never forget." He said and licked the edge of his blade. He went on to say more but I could barely listen with a straight face."Pablo, how could you do that to Jaxon?" My voice trembled with emotion. "He would do anything for you yet you'd hurt him.""Apparently not everything…" Pablo's expression remained stoic, and he spoke in a calm, detached tone. "I did what was necessary for the greater good of our mission," he replied, his words echoing with an unsettling sense of righteousness."The greater good?" I spat, unable to contain my anger any longer. "You manipulated Jaxon, you didn't value him. You used him.""He
As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky with hues of orange and purple, Sarah and Theo rode their bikes along the winding forest trail. It had been a pleasant afternoon, and they were looking forward to reaching the safety of the grove before nightfall.The warm sun illuminated the forest around them, casting dappled shadows on the ground. Birds chirped cheerfully, and a gentle breeze rustled through the leaves. "You're going too fast, Sarah! There's a cliff ahead!" Theo shouted at Sarah who was ahead of him. He was laughing out loud and so was she."I know, dad!" They came into a halt and mounted their bikes. They both walked arm in arm to the cliff and gazed at the rocks down with the amazing greeny ahead."Wow." Sarah exclaimed and rested her head on his shoulder. They took in the beauty and Theo teased her each time he pushed her forward as if he wanted to throw her down."Stop it!." She yelped and hit him continuously but he chuckled.However, their tranquility was
Jaxon's absence had affected everyone, and you could feel the strain in the air. Pablo seemed especially upset, and his emotions were reaching a breaking point.One evening, with the sun setting and the sky colored in beautiful shades, everyone had gathered in the camp. The atmosphere was heavy with tension, and whispers of the recent argument spread among the members.Pablo was usually calm, but now he was pacing back and forth, looking angry and sad. He was trying to understand what had happened and how to deal with it all.Ethan, standing a few feet away, seemed hesitant, but he was determined to make his point known. "Pablo, I understand your frustration, but you have to see that Jaxon had his reasons for leaving," he said, his voice steady but uneasy.Pablo halted his restless pacing and turned to face Ethan, his eyes burning with intensity. "His reasons? A petty argument is what caused all of this?" he exclaimed, his voice rising in pitch. "We are a team, a family, and we should
*Tyler's POV*As the pack faced the threat of the vampire coven, I knew we had to act quickly. The elders gathered in the council chamber. It was obvious they were worried about our safety.With resolve, I approached the council. As the new head general and semi Alpha, I felt responsible for protecting our pack. We needed to strengthen our defenses and prepare for the upcoming attack. I was determined to do whatever it took to keep everyone safe."Brothers and sisters, Elders and generals," I addressed the council, my voice firm and resolute, "we cannot afford to be complacent. The vampires are growing bolder with each passing day, and we must be prepared to defend our home and our people. Theo, one of the pack hunters alerted me a few days ago about some vampires conspiring to attack the grove days before the war finally happens as a means to weaken our stronghold and will before the battle. We need to show them that we're prepared for their advance, but with the use of old devices a
*Theo's POV*The night air was cool and crisp. I had decided to confess my feelings to Sarah tonight. It was the perfect time and perfect place. Tyler had given me advice earlier that day,"Just look into her eyes, hold her hands and let it flow."Sounds easier said than done.She had gone to wear a overcoat because of the cold weather so I tried practicing the lines I had come up with it."Sarah…oh no no no..Uhum. Sarah, I just want to tell you that you're the best person I've ever met in a…no no no! Too generic." I slapped my forehead. At this point, I'd just swallow myself."What's the matter?" I looked back and it was Sarah standing. Shit.She came to sit back beside me, "Why were you talking to yourself?""No, no, I wasn't …just trying to remember something." I said nervously."Trying to remember what?" She raised an eyebrow."Something."She laughed, "You're funny sometimes."The moon hung overhead like a shimmering pearl in the dark sky, casting a soft glow on Sarah's radiant f
As the days passed, the tension in the grove seemed to increase slightly. Tyler had trained more warriors whilst my father and the elders planned how the impending war would play out to our favour. All in all, our unity grew stronger as we worked together to face the impending threat. Amidst the chaos and uncertainty, there was one thing that remained constant - the growing bond between Sarah and Theo.I often found myself stealing glances at them when they thought no one was looking. They had a unique connection that seemed to transcend the chaos surrounding us. Sarah and Theo made a great conflict. Sarah's determination and strength matched Theo's calm and thoughtful nature. When they were together, it felt like they brought comfort and hope in the midst of difficulties.One evening, as the sun set, I saw Sarah and Theo sitting in the garden. They were having a serious talk, speaking softly as if sharing special secrets only they could know. The beautiful sky above seemed to reflect
Theo found Tyle in a quiet corner of the camp going through some documents. The fireflies around illuminated the dark scape. "Sir, we need to talk," He said, his voice steady but hued with nervousness.He looked up at him, "Oh Theo. I've told you to call me Tyler. There's no need to be formal. Come on sit."Theo did so. "Sorry, just used to calling you sir.""You're a friend to Lily, so you're a friend to me too." They shook hands."What is it?""Earlier today, I and some other pack hunters went out for a patrol and I decided to go farther to the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest. I saw a group of vampires and overheard them talking about an impending attack they were planning," I explained. "I know you have a lot on your plate, but I couldn't keep this information to myself. We need to be prepared."Tyler's expression became serious, and he nodded appreciatively. "Thank you for telling me, Theo. I appreciate your honesty."Theo could see the turmoil in his eyes, and he knew he was gr
