Third person's point of view. "Ara!" Edward whispered yelled in a panicked voice when he saw Ara collapsing. He was quick to catch her before she could hit the ground, he gently rested her head on his chest then leaned closer to listen if he can pick a heartbeat.He breathe out in relief when he heard her heart beating very faintly."Holy shît" he breathe out. "That was a very close one".He swooped her in his arms and turned to leave there quickly before Wymond comes out of the hut -but unfortunately, he wasn't fast enough. A very deep and angry growl sounded from behind, which made his legs stayed glued on a spot, his shoulders tensed and he closed his eyes hoping the ground would open up and swallow him to evade Wymond's punishment.He slowly turned around Ara was snatched from him and Wymond's hand went directly around his neck in a very tight grip.He singlehandedly lifted Edward off his feet by his neck, making Edward's eyes rolled to the back of his head as he choked on air.
Arabella's point of view. "...I woke up this morning and I was already at the infirmary. The doctor said I was just being paranoid and thought I saw someone who was trying to strangle me" she explained.I frowned."You didn't hallucinate, it happened""Huh? What do you mean?" she asked.I looked around for my phone and I saw it laying on the bedside table, I quickly reached for it and handed it to her."There are red marks on your neck, you really did see someone" I paused. "Drake might be in trouble" I said.Daphne let out a short shriek when she saw the marks, she slammed my phone on the bed and growled lowly."That d@mn doctor lied to me" she frowned. "He clearly saw these marks, why did he lied to me?" she questioned herself.I frowned as I connected two dots from her words -the silhouette standing beside Drake's bed and the doctor lying to Daphne -is there any connection between them? And who the heçk is that silhouette? Why business does he have with Drake that he would go to h

EVERGREEN PACK (Pack's boundary)Alpha Jarek looked at the fields, his eyes narrowed in anger when he saw his warriors being slaughtered, the grass was covered in their blood."Alpha, the warriors morale are dropping, it seems like we're losing the fight" one of the top warriors said."They took us unaware....""There is no taking unaware" Alpha Jarek cut in. "We should always be prepare for the unexpected, this wouldn't be happening if our warriors took their training seriously!" he growled.He balled his fist and glared at the attacking wolves's leader, the leader was smirking from the other side of the field -he's waiting for Alpha Jarek's attack."Alpha, how about you take out their leader?" his beta suggested."Yes, the others will retreat if their leader's out" another warrior added.Alpha Jarek shook his head in disagreement."I can't, my wolf is blind and I'm too old to withstand him" he gestured at the leader."How about marrying my mom and maki

I looked around at my pack members who were fighting desperately to protect each other, some seemed to tired but they doesn't wanna give up -it's only right if I stay back and help too."It seems like our help is needed here""Then what about your mom and your brother?" she asked."My mom's from a warrior's family and Arthur is a warrior in training, they can both take care of themselves" I gestured at our surrounding. "These people needs our help more" I said."You're right" she agreed.I winced seeing as the wolf has successfully pounced on a teenage girl and slashed her face with his claw, I rushed towards them and pushed the wolf off her."Get away from her, you bîtch!" I growled.The wolf narrowed his eyes at me and barred his teeth at me as if to scare me away, but I growled at him in return -Amy doesn't like being threatened.I dropped the little girl I was carrying, tilted my head slightly and faced the teenage girl -I pushed the little girl towards
Renee's point of view. "Get a doctor!" Wymond barked at no one in particular as he climbed the stairs in a hurry towards his room.He kicked the door open and rushed in, he went straight to his bed and hurriedly but gently laid an unconscious Ara on her belly -not even minding the fact that she's covered in blood.His eyes trailed her wounded body and he growled lowly, he pushed some fallen strands hair off her dirty and bloody face."Where the hell is the doctor!" he growled impatiently.He snapped his head towards me with his reddened eyes and his trembling lips as if he's trying to hold back his tears or anger, even his hands and shoulders were shaking.Then I saw an emotion in his eyes, an emotion I have never seen him show before or even thought I'd never see him show.Fear!.Wymond is the great King of the supernatural world, he's always had everything under control and he's never been scared of anything in his thousands of years on earth -in fact, that word doesn't exist in hi
Renee's point of view. ONE HOUR-THIRTY MINUTES LATER (Wymond's room)."Your...your Majesty...." Wymond pushed the doctor aside before she could complete her words and rushed to Ara's side, he reached for her right hand and held it in his tenderly as he stared at her face."Why isn't she waking up yet?" he growled.I sighed and got up, who knew a day like this would come, when my emotionless brother would be worried over someone."Thank you, doctor" I thanked the doctor on Wymond's behalf. "Is there anything we should take note of?" I asked."Er...no, I have stopped the bleeding, cleaned and dressed up her wounds" she carried her medicine box. "She'll....""Isn't she a werewolf? Why isn't her wounds healing on their own?" Wymond interrupted her with a question. His questions made perfect sense, as a werewolf Ara's wounds were supposed to heal naturally, but why aren't they healing?.Something is wrong somewhere."Her wounds were likely caused by silver or wolfsbane, enhance she coul

KING'S PALACE (Dungeon)."He's inside, your Majesty" Edward said stopping in front of a cell.He pushed the iron door open and Wymond entered the cell, the leader of the attacking pack fell on his knees immediately."Your Majesty" he greeted Wymond as he fell on his face.Edward quickly reached for a chair at a corner in the cell and placed it behind Wymond, he sat down and nodded at Edward to start the interrogation."Wellington West, that's your name, correct?""Yes"Edward nodded."You're the Alpha of Black-Knight pack, correct?""Yes, your Majesty" wellington answered, his head still bowed.Wymond narrowed his eyes at his Wellington's reply, a low, offended growl emitted from his throat and Edward quickly cleared his throat."I'm not His Majesty, you can call me your Excellency" he corrected Wellington."Yes, your Excellency"Edward stepped closer to him and raised his head, making Wellington face and look him in the eyes."I want an honest answer fo
Arabella's point of view. (Wymond's room_9:03pm)."Are you sure you don't need help, your highness?" Cora asked me for the thousandth time."No, thank you" I answered and continued trying to dry my hair, which was giving me a hard time because of the wounds on my back.I had just finished taking a shower in a very funny way too, since I was strictly instructed to protect my wounds from water to avoid reopening them. "Er...do you need my help with anything else?" she asked again.I sighed."Can you help me get some sleep?" I asked her sarcastically."Your highness" she whined and I laughed."Fine, just go to bed, you've assist me enough for today" I told her.Like seriously, I don't understand the life of royalty, why do they need maids for things they can do alone?."Ok, your highness, I'm leaving""Hm" I hummed.I heard her approaching the door, I averted my attention from her and focused on myself. But the stubborn girl tricked me, she didn't leave because I could still feel her t
Arabella's point of view. (EVERGREEN PACK _ BEACH SIDE)"I do" Alpha Jarek said readily, with a fulfilled smile glowing on his face.It's so obvious how much he loves mom, everyone could see how eager he was to have mom as his wife and few people sniffled at his over excitement. "By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife" Old Sebastian said.Oh, yeah, Wymond made him officiate the wedding.He turned to Alpha Jarek and nodded towards mom. "You may kiss your bri..." Alpha Jarek didn't wait for him to complete his words, he hurriedly reached out his hands, held mom's face tenderly and crashed his lips on hers, which caused everyone present to roar in laughter. Arthur gagged beside me and quickly turned his eyes away from them."I can't fuçking watch that old man sucking off mom's face" he said with a disgusted expression.I reached forward and smacked the back of his head, he hissed loudly and threw me a glare, but I care less. "Mind your language, my baby can hear

(FOUR HOURS LATER)It took Renee and Daphne four whole hours to get me ready, they tried different makeups and gowns on me, all in the name of searching for the perfect look for me.And finally they found the perfect look, but that's after four hours and several trials."Now that's perfection!" Daphne clapped her hands.I rolled my eyeballs and sprang up, then checked myself out in the mirror and nodded in approval."Thanks darlings" I thanked them."Now to the ballroom!" Renee said in a funny french accent which made us laugh. ★★★★★The guards standing by the door pushed it open and all heads turned towards me, everyone's smiling happily and clapping their hands. I saw Daphne, Renee and Emily giving me thumbs up from their seats, which helped boosted my confidence and morale.Wymond's standing at the front with old Sebastian holding a knife and a small bowl next to him, if any human was here, they'd think we're having a wedding -the scenery seemed like a w

What niece and godson are they fuçking talking about?"Ladies, ladies, please, it's not a niece, it's my nephew -why are y'all fighting over what's mine?" Arthur? Why is Arthur here? Wait, where am I? My last memory was back in the abandoned warehouse where we ended Oak's life and I passed out, yeah, maybe all these arguments are happening in my dream.I guess I've had enough sleep, it's time I wake up and... eat, I'm starving so bad.A tired yawn left my mouth as I stretched my stiff limps, I'm so tired as if I just had a very long sleep, then I snapped my eyes open, only to come face to face with about five pairs of eyes staring at me. Mom, Arthur, Daphne, Renee and another girl who's almost the same age as me, or maybe she's a little bit older than me but I don't recognize her -they wer
Arabella's point of view. (Flashback)I had just finished telling Wymond about the maid whom I saw earlier, and how I have a feeling that she's Ingrid, I told him about investigating about the maid but he stopped and promised to handle it himself.Then we decided to retire to bed, but we were disturbed by a loud thud and sprang up at once, our heads snapped towards the direction the sound came from -the window.We heard someone whimpering and sniffling, Wymond hopped off the bed and walked towards the person, I followed quietly behind him thinking it's... I didn't even know what I was thinking then, but whatever it was, it was scaring me.But my mouth dropped open when we got close and I saw who it was."Ingrid?" I called.She raised her head, I was taken aback by her appearance. There were long red marks on her left cheek, there were also red marks on her neck as though she tried to commit suicide by hanging herself to death and her whole face was red as tears flooded every part of
Third person's point of view. "That's our head doctor, professor Landon" Jones said, pointing to a man who seemed to be in his forties.King Wymond frowned as he narrowed his eyes and carefully studied the doctor who was injecting an old woman, he felt like something's off with the doctor but wasn't sure what it was.He tried to read the doctor's thoughts but couldn't, which made his frown deepened and he came to a conclusion.He moved his gaze from the doctor and looked around at the vampires who were affected by the plague, some were coughing non-stop, some had dark spots all over their skins and it seemed as if their skins were decaying.King Wymond opened his hand and a syringe needle moved from a tray into his palm, there's a bluish liquid inside the syringe, King Wymond quickly broke it in two parts and sniffed it, then cringed in disgust as he inhaled a very bad smell.He threw a disgusted glare at the doctor."I don't know if that guy looks like your head doctor, Landon, but
Arabella's point of view. "These are the herbs our doctors prescribed, they don't cure the plague, but at least the plague's effects was reduce... " Jone paused, sighed and shook his head in disappointment. ".. but the herbs aren't working anymore, no matter the amount we use, the plague just kept worsening everyday" he said.Wymond picked a herb and sniffed it, a frown appeared on his face at once."Who's the head doctor?" he asked."He's at the health center" Jones replied."Take me there" Wymond commanded and Jones nodded in agreement.He (Wymond) glanced at me and signaled me to follow them, I rolled my eyeballs as I grumbled coherently. I didn't wanna go with them, because I wanted to confirm something. *I don't wanna look behind and realize you're not following me, you wouldn't wanna know what I'm gonna do to you, baby* he warned me through our mind-link.*It's not as if I'm gonna do anything to help there**I just wanna be seeing you* he replied. *But...**No buts, baby!* he

Wymond asked me, we've retired to our room -the room Jones prepared for us.There was a long pause as I was wearing a beauty facial mask when he asked the question, I quickly climbed onto the bed when I'm done and pulled the blanket up to my chest.Wymond sighed impatiently."Can you answer me now?" he asked."Yeah" I leaned against the headboard. "I thought I saw someone like Ingrid"His eyebrows furrowed in confusion."Ingrid? Who's that?" I gaped at him, don't tell me he forgot her -wasn't he the one who had her locked up for three days?"She's one of my schoolmates, you even had her locked up some weeks ago" He tilted his head slightly, then he curved his mouth in an O shape as realization dawned on him."Yeah" I eyed him. "But I'm not so sure if it's truly her, because I didn't get to see her face.." I pouted shortly. "..but my instincts keep telling me she's Ingrid""Hold on, isn't she
Arabella's point of view. (Vampire King's palace)It was kinda a long walk from the border to the vampire King's palace, maybe it's because we were walking in a very slow pace and they're both (Wymond and the vampire King) we're both discussing about the plague along the way.The palace isn't as big as ours, but it's beautiful and well structured. Maids and guards were lined up at the entrance of the palace, waiting to welcome and serve us.They knelt down and fell on their faces immediately they saw us."Welcome, your Majesty, your highness!" they greeted us.A very beautiful, but heavily pregnant woman approached us as fast as she could, yet a little bit slow. There's a warm and welcoming smile on her face, which makes her even more beautiful."Your Majesty" she bowed respectfully at Wymond since she can't kneel, then turned to face me. "Your highness" she bowed too."Wow, you're so beautiful even though you're pregnant" I complimented her.She blushed very hard."I'm nothing compa
Arabella's point of view. We've been driving for seven hours and we finally drove past a big billboard with an inscription on it...WELCOME TO THE HOME OF VAMPIRES.I never knew the vampire kingdom is very far from the palace, now I perfectly understand why those vampires attending legends creation college always prefer staying in the dorms and only go back home on vacation.Going to and fro everyday won't be convenient for them, they'd surely miss class everyday -after all, sitting in a car for seven hours everyday would drive anyone crazy."The vampires are braver than you, werewolves" Wymond said.I frowned slightly."Why would you say that?" I asked."Look" he nodded behind him at the billboard that's already far behind. "They boldly put up a billboard telling everyone that vampires owns this land, but I don't see the werewolves doing same" I scoffed."We like staying low-key, we're not pompous creatures" I defended my kind.He laughed at my words."But my brother-in-law is pomp
