Where There is Love, There is Pain CHAPTER 1. AT FIRST SIGHT
"What's up Dean?" Zeeb greeted his best friend and proceeded to go to his locker right beside him. Smiling as his tanned skin gleamed from the lights. He was 6 foot 2 and well built for his age. His black hair and sideburns make him a little mature-looking for his age. All the girls passing by steal glances at his towering height and good looks. They all swoon for his hazel brown eyes."So you up for tonight's tribe gathering?" Dean said a young fellow slightly shorter than Zeeb but of the buffed physique. "As if I have a choice? Chief will whoop my ass if I don't." Zeeb retorted. "I don't know dude, I just find their stories entertaining but unreal, you know what I'm saying?" Dean said. "Yeah, all that wolf stuff and all. Haven't seen one but if you ever tell that to anyone except me we'll be both in trouble" Zeeb said smiling and laughing remembering the stories of their ancestors turning into wolves to protect their tribe. "As if you'll get in as much trouble as we would. Your
Where There is Love, There is Pain CHAPTER 2. THE GATHERING
"So...How did it go?" Dean said to Zeeb while they are scouting for driftwood to use for tonight's bonfire. "She was actually nice, though there's something about her. When I caught up to her and held her arm she looked at me like she was about to murder me." Zeeb said chuckling. "She's a feisty one isn't she?" Dean said. "That she is...I just couldn't seem to understand what I see in her, I felt some sort of warmth, my heart was beating so fast, it's as if she was the only one I could see," he recalled. "That's some attraction you got there dude! Good thing you didn't get off when she was in front of you!" Dean said laughing hysterically. "Damn you, Dean," Zeeb said smiling. "Let's go, I think we have enough firewood to light up the whole village." The elders and children were already gathering when they arrived at the camp near the beach. The group of teenagers Zeeb, Dean, Hector, Brad, Khalu, Jake, and Ashina build the bonfire as everyone chattered and greeted each other. The
Where There is Love, There is Pain CHAPTER 3. THE PARTY
On the quiet suburbs of Willow Creek, a different kind of gathering is taking place. The massive modern house of the Landry family was filled with peculiar characters. No food was found but there were many people. Men and women aimlessly dance to the music playing, a live band was singing jazz while guests feast on their prey. Fleur stood in the middle of the room looking at everyone with distaste. She did not want to come here to this small town, she just wants to live a normal life. In reality, this is what normal is for her kind. Lavish parties, booze, and drugs. She doesn't even know why they bother when the blood of the people they lured here is more than enough to give them the high that they need. But her family, they are formidable the Landry clan headed by her father Damas has wanted power and wealth all their lives. It's not as if living for 120 years is not enough to make them filthy rich, her father wanted more and he has set his eyes on the Vlad family the powerful immor
Where There is Love, There is Pain CHAPTER 4. EZRA
Fleur was jumping from trees to trees as she hurried back to her house, she couldn’t explain the feeling she has. She felt light, energized and happy? She couldn’t shake off the smile on her face as she remember the time she spent with Zeeb. No mortal has ever made her feel this way and she was alarmed at the same time this is all so new to her. She reached her house and she climbed up the roof to her balcony. She was taken aback as she saw the lights were turned on. She was pretty sure she did left it off when she went down and joined the party. Her smile was gone and she can feel the agitation building up once more it’s as if she never left the party. She cautiously opened the glass door to her room and she froze. Sitting on her bed was Ezra devilishly handsome and grinning at her. “Where have you been princess?” He asked. “Somewhere, I’m pretty sure the name of the street was None of Your Fucking Business.” She retorted sharply. “I see…still feisty as ever.” He said now standing
Where There is Love, There is Pain CHAPTER 5. IT'S COMPLICATED
Fleur was awakened by the sunlight coming through the glass windows and walls of her room. She has forgotten to close the blinds before she fell asleep. She slowly opened her eyes and a smile form in her lips as she remembers the dream she had. As an Immortal, they can go on for days without sleeping but they do sleep when they want to. Knowing how last night went, she just wanted to escape and let herself linger in the dream world and she has had many vivid dreams in her lifetime but this is peculiar in every way for her. She has never dreamt as evocative as she did and never with a mortal. It was so pure and true. She is a stranger to this feeling tugging at her heart. She never really believed in love, as her clan thrives on fixed marriages and alliances, love is a very rare occurrence if present at all. She knows that her mother loves her dad in this twisted way, despite his torture and unforgiving nature. Her father may be fond of her mom but she has always doubted if true love d
Where There is Love, There is Pain CHAPTER 6. TAKE ME AWAY
The bell rang and Fleur seemed to snap back from a trance that being near Zeeb puts her in. She hurried to put her things in her bag as she felt the familiar disturbing presence getting near her – Ezra. She flinched as she felt the cold hand on her shoulder. She shuddered at the thought that he might have been watching her and Zeeb. Ezra is a powerful immortal and as such, he is definitely not stupid and her heart was gripped with fear not for herself but to what Ezra may do to Zeeb. She knows more than anyone that their kind can be extremely territorial and to Ezra, she is a property that no one can ever take from him. She gulped and tried to shrug away her unease as she plasters a fake smile as she turned around to face Ezra. “I assume you have taken all the same classes as me?” She said mockingly, trying to hide the nervousness in her voice. “Of course, I would always want to be near my girl.” He retorted putting a big emphasis on the word mine, staking his claim to her and making
Where There is Love, There is Pain CHAPTER 7. A SPECIAL PLACE
The special place was at the beach at Wolf’s Lair, somehow Fleur was not surprised because to her, it was significant too. It was the place where she ran to when she was feeling overwhelmed and sad and now it seemed to make sense why her feet brought her there. She was looking for someplace where she belonged. She sought comfort when she felt so lost and lonely, and there was no place in the world but here. It was not the crashing of the waves or the gentle sound of the breeze that brought me there it was someone and that person is Zeeb. Somehow being here again made her realize what she has been looking for all along, it was not a place she can call home but a person she can belong to.Zeeb got out of his truck and went around to open the door for her. He held out a hand and she took it with a smile, knowing full well she finally found her way to a place she can call her own.They walked together hand in hand. She stopped to untie her sneakers and take off her socks, getting the cue f
Where There is Love, There is Pain CHAPTER 8. A PERFECT MATCH
“So you’re finally back.” The bitterness and judgment in Ezra’s voice were written all over his face as he looked at Fleur intently.These words seemed like a big tidal wave that suddenly came crushing on the feeling of peace and happiness she felt. She can feel a tight knot forming in her stomach as she met Ezra’s probing gaze. She swallowed back the spiteful words she wanted to say to him so badly, instead, she thought to herself that she must be careful. What she has with Zeeb cannot be discovered especially by Ezra. He is formidable and extremely territorial and she knows, that to him, she is but a thing, a possession, and being his betrothed, she can never be too careful, he will stop at nothing for her to be all his. She cannot let Zeeb be caught in the crosshairs of a powerful immortal and their ego. She has to protect him at all costs. Even if it meant she needed to pretend that she is loyal to her clan and to this man who is towering above her. The man she despises with all h

The aftermath of the battle left Willow Creek High in ruins. Smoke filled the air, and the place stank of sulfur. Fleur and Zeeb stood in the midst of the wreckage, beaten but not broken."Damn, we actually did it, Zeeb," Fleur said, her voice laced with exhaustion. "But this is just the beginning. Ezra and Gregory won't give up so easily. We gotta get our clans together, unite 'em."Zeeb nodded, scanning the scene. "You're right, Fleur. Our love has brought us this far, and it'll carry us through the crap that lies ahead. We gotta bring peace to our people, end the damn hatred."As they surveyed the mess, Damas emerged from the shadows, his presence commanding attention.

Where There is Love, There is Pain CHAPTER 18: CLASH OF DARKNESS
The creature loomed before them, a grotesque and formidable being born from the darkest depths of supernatural power. Its body was a twisted amalgamation of sinew and scales, its eyes glowing with an otherworldly light that sent shivers down the spines of even the bravest warriors. The air crackled with malevolence as it unleashed an otherworldly roar, the sound reverberating through the halls of Willow Creek High. Fleur stood at the forefront, her eyes narrowed in determination as she faced the creature. "We won't let you harm anyone else," she declared, her voice steady despite the adrenaline coursing through her veins. Zeeb, his Lycan abilities heightened by the magnitude of the threat, unsheathed his gleaming silver daggers, his fangs glistening in the dim light. "Together, we can defeat this abomination," he growled, his gaze unwavering. Damas conjured dark energy in his hands, forming intricate patterns in the air. "Let's put an end to this madness," he muttered, his voice car
Where There is Love, There is Pain CHAPTER 17: THE UNLEASHING OF DARKNESS
Within the hidden realm of the Immortals, a power struggle unfolded, threatening to tear apart the fragile peace that had been forged. Damas, a respected and powerful Immortal, found himself at odds with a faction led by cunning and ambitious Immortals who craved dominion over all. With the absence of Ezra's clan they wonder if Damas can lead them, they find his decision to sign a treaty with the Lycans is a sign of wekness and he is unfit as a leader. In the chambers of their ancient council, Damas stood tall, his voice resonating with authority and wisdom. "Peace is our only path forward. We cannot allow our thirst for power to overshadow the progress we have made," he declared, his gaze unwavering. Suddenly Ezra, entered the hallway his eyes filled with a sinister gleam, scoffed at Damas' plea for unity. "Peace is a weakness, a surrender of our true potential. We are the Immortals, destined to rule and conquer. Willow Creek is but a stepping stone." The faction of Immortals that d

Meanwhile, Fleur and Zeeb continued to navigate the complexities of their love, unaware of the dark forces conspiring against them. They spent their days exploring the beauty of Willow Creek, their laughter blending with the gentle whispers of the wind. Their hearts brimmed with hope, believing that their love could bridge the divide between their worlds. But beneath the surface of peace, trouble brewed.

Where There is Love, There is Pain CHAPTER 15. SHADOWS OF LOVE AND POWER
Fleur and Zeeb stood at the precipice of their mission, their hearts pounding with anticipation and hope. They had gathered their allies, both mortal and immortal, in a secluded location that symbolized neutrality—a place where neither faction could claim dominance. It was here that they would attempt to broker a fragile peace, for the sake of their love and the future of their worlds. As the representatives from each side assembled, tension filled the air. Suspicion and skepticism lingered in their eyes, remnants of the deep-rooted animosity that had fueled the conflict for generations.

Where There is Love, There is Pain CHAPTER 14: LOVE'S REVOLUTION
Fleur took a deep breath, gathering her thoughts before she spoke. She could see the worry and caution in Zeeb's eyes, and it pained her to know that she had caused him such distress. She had to find a way to alleviate his concerns while also addressing the complex situation they found themselves in. "Zeeb," she began, her voice trembling with emotion, "there's something I need to tell you. Something I've kept hidden from you for far too long." Her eyes, shimmering with unshed tears, locked onto his, searching for a glimmer of understanding. Taking a deep breath, Fleur steadied herself. "I'm not like everyone else," she whispered, her voice barely audible. "I'm an Immortal, Zeeb. I've lived for hundreds of years, carrying the weight of secrets and watching the world change around me." Zeeb's eyes widened with a mix of shock and confusion. "An Immortal?" he repeated, his voice laced with disbelief. "But how...?" Fleur, her gaze unwavering, continued, "I overheard Chief Robe and Damo
Where There is Love, There is Pain CHAPTER 13. THE CROSSROADS OF LOVE AND LOYALTY
Fleur was heartbroken. She had fallen deeply in love with Zeeb, a Lycan, who she had thought was different from the others of his kind. But now she knew the truth. Zeeb was the very reason her family had come to Willow Creek - to hunt down and kill his clan. Fleur's loyalty to her family had always been unwavering, but now she was torn. Her heart was telling her to be with Zeeb, but she was afraid of what that would mean for the people she loved. She recalled the events of the evening, Fleur couldn't help but feel a sense of envy towards his family. They were so close and full of love for each other, something she had never experienced before. The dinner was filled with laughter, conversation, and happiness. The warm atmosphere made her feel like she was a part of the family, something she had never felt before in her own home. Even Ash, who was Zeeb's younger sister, was a ray of sunshine, making Fleur feel welcome and appreciated. The warmth of the room was contagious, making Fleur
Where There is Love, There is Pain CHAPTER 12. HOME IS WHERE DARKNESS LIES
Zeeb’s house is a stark contrast to her own. They live in a cozy cabin near the beach, the fresh air with the scent of salt water is strong you can almost taste it. The crashing of the waves can be heard in the near distance. Inside the aroma of wood and food is mixed in, the place is a home, not some fortress she lived in. As they went inside, the laughter and chatter can be heard immediately. It was a welcoming sight to see a family like this unlike theirs which is all cold and formal, one might think they entered a funeral. Here, they seem to genuinely like one another compared to her home where she is sure everyone despises one another in some twisted way. Chief Robe greeted them with a big smile on his face, “Well, who is this beautiful princess you brought here tonight son?” Her face flushed red at his flattery, she knows she is beautiful but every Immortal is, it’s part of their charm, they were built to look magnificent almost like Gods in the eyes of mortals, it’s what makes
