"Boss, are you sure we got the address right?" Leo asked his master who has the same look of uncertainty as him. Fishing out his phone from his pocket, Ryan read through the anonymous message he received earlier today."This should be the place," he whispered still not sure,"here," he stretched out his hand, holding out his phone for Leo to see for himself,on receiving the phone a crease appeared on the young man's forehead as he read out the address,as if he wanted to make sure he isn't seeing things."TENDER HEARTS ORPHANAGE." He looked up at the fallen sign board at the entrance where they were standing and it read the same thing, but his wolf-like eyes did not fail to notice the boldly written word just immediately after the name of the place.What normal human will arrange a meeting in an haunted place?, the shadow guard thought to himself before it drawn on him that they are not even human and the world he lives in is far from being normal to begin with, but if indeed they are c
At another part of the woods, a little figure could be seen standing in mid air,the little bat-like wings behind him never stop flapping.His cold eyes rested on the only survival of the bloody massacre that took place just a few seconds ago,the man had his forehead kissing the bloody floor, he was not begging for his life, not that he didn't want to live but the young lord had said that was the fault of his colleagues.Just like other groups positioned in this wood,they were all paired six in each group, early they were overjoyed on being the first to lay their eyes on the target since the price was very tempting,one of them had attacked without waiting for their leader to order them.This attack had caused the driver his life, but since he was just a mere human,they overlooked it, ready to pounce on the lady when out of the blue a child had appeared.{ FLASH BACK }" Who is there?!" Angry voices thundered, causing the other men who were getting themselves ready to stop whatever acti
Lola forced herself to continue running, ignoring the heart wracking pain she was feeling on her leg, but because of the injury her pace was greatly reduced.Unknown to her these people are not the regular kidnappers she has seen or watched on TV, the blood dripping from her injured leg was enough to track her.Because of the strong smell of human blood in the air,the other groups started heading her way, looking for the source. Lola's blood did not only attract enemies, Cam who just finished massacring a group of adult men, also couldn't resist the sweet smell making it way into his nostrils, although his father did all he could to bring him up like a human child hoping his mother's blood will take over, but then he made the mistake of sending him to his grandfather who in regular basis secretly feed him with human blood.The little vampire was also tempted to have a taste of this delicious delicacy that was presented to him but unlike the normal vampire the Donovans could still thi
"Fuck!, what is this?" One of the men cursed desperately, almost scared. He moved backward as if he was attempting to flee but then he came back again like a cornered prey in panic."Holy moly!" His colleague cursed as he stared wide eyed at the only source of escape they have, this was the same direction the first guy ran to earlier. Caught right in the middle of death, the men felt like they were caught between the devil and the deep blue sea,left with no option they started explaining even without being asked by their predators."No,no, we're just…. ahhhhh!" That sharp scream was accompanied by the sound of bone cracking, alongside birds leaving their nest for a safer place, because of their sharp hearings they took note of different wild lifes running out of their comfort zone.At this moment another guest arrived at the forest, clothed in a complete black coat with hoodie, Zara made his way into the wildlife, following the trail of blood which started from a car left carelessly b
The faces he was seeing in these pictures were all very familiar to him. Ryan will never forget that gentle smile of his mother, she was the only one who made him feel like a human.He picked one of the pictures up and ran his hand on the smiling face of the young woman,"Mom," he mouthed in a daze,he has never seen her this happy before,he stared down at her big baby bump and his lips curved up into a smile,he always knew he wasn't a mistake as he was called all his life, even though the Donovans doesn't want him,he knew from the start that he meant the world to his mother.He caught sight of another picture, this one has both his mom and dad.Roldofo clearly looked accomplished here,mare looking at this picture, who could possibly deny the love these people have for each other and how eager they were to welcome their child to this world?.As if knowing exactly what was running in the mind of the young vampire, the old man who was busy with his pipe said in a matter of fact way,"he is
LOLA"Fuck!" I hissed when I felt a sharp pain at the left side of my head."Don't!" A voice ordered startling me"Ahh!" A short grasp escaped my lips, I glared at the direction the idiot spoke from, only to realize it was Torak not an idiot."You scared me!" I complained, instead of apologizing he walked up to me and made me lay back."Sorry if I did." He apologized."The doctor said, you will have to be confined to the bed for days..""Let me go get the doctor.''Torak's friend, who I didn't even notice was in the room, offered to get the doctor. I spared him an apologetic smile before he walked out as if I would eat him up if he stayed another second."How is it?" I heard Torak ask, making me channel my attention to him."How is what?" I ask weakly, my body feels like it was pushed down a roof top, I feel like the bones in my body have been crushed into a mash potato, the pain is unbearable and it makes me want to cry but not in front of Torak.What?!What did I just say?Since when
TORAKThis is bad, what should I do?, just a few seconds ago I was busy thanking those idiots up there for giving me another chance, who was I trying to fool?, with all my sins, what god in their right sense will spare me a second glance.I should have known Cameron's presence was what was needed to triga her memories."Please step outside." I heard Bill say it for the fifth time, but somehow I couldn't seem to move my legs. Larry had to come back in and pull me out.My eyes fell on Cam,who was usually quiet and biting down on his bottom lip,"there sits my nemesis." I said walking up to him, Larry stood in front of me, shaking his head with a pleading eyes but that spirit of negotiation was a coward,it ran away at the slightest provocation."Step aside!" I shut him a warning glare,thank goodness he corporated because lord knows I'm not in for long talk, seeing that he has no one to stop me the little monkey jumped on his feet and spirited to Nora,who quickly pulled him behind her usin
TORAKFor the past two days, I can't say I've closed my eyes to take a nap, not to mention sleeping. I've been on guard, because somewhere deep down I was worried someone would take her away from me. I don't know how I grew so attached to Lola but I kept on blaming it on the mate bond. The pull is so strong and it's changing who I used to be.I leaned forward and tucked a strand of her hair away from her lips,then I checked my wrist watch again.It's been more than an hour since Bill gave her the sedative,yet she's still asleep. If not for the rise and fall of her chest, I would have gone into his office and dragged him here.I was so worried and exhausted that I can't tell how I drift off.As if I have not gotten enough stress for the week,the sleep god refused to give me a welcoming bed. My kind don't dream or so I heard but for the first time I closed my eyes to what humans call nightmares.Vampire's nightmares happen when they are wild awake but what was tabled before me was somet
{Four years later}TORAKI walked into my office to see note paste on the upper part of my window. " Not again!" I said removing it to see what my stupid son had to say this time." BETRAYAL" was boldly written in capital letters. I folded the paper into a ball instead of kicking it into the trash can. I kicked it directly at the door but unfortunately someone was about to come in, it hit the person directly on the faa.., oh, no I'm dead." Ouch!, Lola screamed holding her baby bump,"" So sorry honey, I was carried away by anger, are you too all right, oh my little angel, daddy didn't do it intentionally…" Lola wiped my hand away from her stomach as she walked past me." You are going to blame it on my son again right?" She asks sitting on my seat," Who else should I possibly blame? , that son of yours has picked interest in making life unbearable for me and you are always at his back! " I wanted to scream these words to her hearing but I dare not, it will only earn more house choic
" Did your mother not teach you how to treat your visitors' pup?!" Welt called out, he could sense eyes on him, but he can't tell how many they are.Lola realizes they are not alone here and quickly takes shelter behind Welt. After all, the devil you know is better than the angel you don't know." Take her name again and I will have your head! "Zara threatened, he saw Welt arrive with someone but, the old blade is yet to step foot on the particular spot he wants him to. Laughing welt walked towards the double door, just right!. His foot got stuck as if glued to the spot, the place was suddenly lit up with green light, at first Welt was surprised but when he finally understood what was happening he felt cheated.The double door was pushed open and Nora was led out with a dagger pointed at her neck.Lola screamed and ran forward on recognizing her." Nora.. how did you.. Zara?!" She stopped talking on recognizing Zara,"Lola?, what are you doing here?," Zara didn't expect to meet Lola h
Leo moved closer to the window and extended his shadow, his eyes became black like a bottomless pit, his shadow went down to the last floor, he searched the surroundings but he found no trace of her nor did he smell blood. He returned back to see his boss in a heated fight with a little figure .Cameron was about embracing the sleep goddess when he heard someone trying to break into one of the rooms, since they are in the alpha's quarter, no one is allowed in here and it was far into the night, he became very suspicious, all traces of sleep disappeared from his eyes as he hurriedly out of his room, fear go Int a grip of him when he couldn't find any trace of her in the room, mistaken Ryan for the culprit he attacked him. Ryan couldn't believe this was the little boy he brought up himself he tried to explain but any attempt he made earned him a fatal blow from him. He could only keep quiet and protect himself. ' Torak should be here already, what could possibly be delaying him? " Earli
" You will die of hunger even before your brothers get here princess," on hearing his voice, Nora, who was lying on the cold floor stood up with great difficulty, even though she's still in the same clothes, she looks very disheveled . " What exactly do you want from me?Why are you doing this to me?. " "Her voice sounds hoarse as a result of lack of water and saddest. " You had better eat something or drink water, if your brothers should arrive here now they will think I'm being too good to you. "Zara made no effort in hiding the sarcasm in his voice, he was feeling bored since his underlings are gone so he decided to come have a chitty chat with his enemies daughter. "You..!" Nora bite down on her bottom lip stopping herself from saying what she wants to say, this stranger has been threatening to defile her if she rile him , she finds herself in this room when she opened her eyes, she couldn't figure out how she got there, least she could remember she was in the office with Bill, a
TORAK" She was captured entering his office with him, but she didn't go out, neither did he." Larry filled me in, immediately I stepped out of my car."And where's the bastard, don't tell me we lost him," I warned but on seeing the look in his eyes, it drew on me that it was exactly what he wanted to say."How could you be so careless?What bunch of idiots did you come along with?""Any news on her?"I cursed inwardly on hearing that voice, why is he here in the first place. " How did you get here? X" I hissed, turning to face him, but the moment I did I had this strong urge to punch his face into a paste." I understand situations like this tend to make one mentally disabled at times, how do you mean how I got here, you just saw me step out of my car didn't you, tsk, tsk." He walked past me rudely pushing me aside. " Leo, get busy, I need information on her as fast as possible!" He ordered his shadow, I watched as the both of them walked into the hospital with my fist clenched tightl
TORAK"Leave the room!" I said after seeing the recognition on Lola's face, but the dumpsters in the room just stood there glaring at her."Are you all deaf?!, leave the fucking room I say!" I angrily slam the door in their faces." You had better sort this out or else… "" Don't make me drag you out," I threatened, staring him right in the eye. He swallowed the rest of the words before waltzing out of the room."She's just a pet, punish her according to the law." Welt left the room with this statement, making me even more agitated. I can't believe what is happening, how did I let this slide?, just how?!." Go to your room Cam."" Not until you promise to protect her." He retorted sharply, ' he's definitely not my son, how can I produce such a handful of trouble?. " Can't you see this isn't the time to be stubborn? ,get the hell out of here Cam. " Instead of going he stood there glaring at me, his little fist tightly clenched, even though I can't see it, I'm sure smoke is coming out
Dr Bill has this sly smile on, on sighting Nora walking up to him," you are here?" He asks Nora, who has momentarily lost her ability to speak, could only nod." A minute princess, let me arrange some things before we set out to leave." He ushered her to a seat, while she quietly sat and watched him move around in his office, a knock on the door made her return to the moment she was."Come in!" Bill urged whoever was at the door in , immediately a nurse walked in with a pack of coffee, she set a small table in front of Nora and poured her a cup. " Nora smiled politely at her as she walked out of the door." Thank you. "She thanked Bill as she took a sip, unknown to her Bill was keenly watching her every move, his lips pulled up into a smile on seeing her drink more of the coffee.With a satisfied smile Nora dropped the now empty cup," this tastes so good, what type of…." She passed out before she could complete her statement. Bill hurriedly walked up to her to confirm she is unconscio
Far away from the hospital, Zara quietly walked into the old orphanage concealing his presence with a transparent jacket that had a hoodie. The guards were dutifully walking around the premises, but they fell to see or smell the presence of an intruder . On getting to the small building, he picked up a small stone and threw at the direction where some guards were standing, the guards got distracted and two of them left their position to check out what was happening, leaving just one, seeing that his plan has worked, he spirited to the door, without knocking or unlocking it, his body passed through it."I should have known keeping those idiots around is of no use." The old man Ryan met a few days ago, said with a deep frown as he watched his visitor walk towards him. " What do you want this time, dragon," he asked sarcastically."You promised to send me feedback once you get to talk to him." Zara's voice was also not welcoming." I did? "" Stop playing dumb with me Elijah!." He angril
TORAKOn getting to the door, I just stood there glaring at it, not that breaking in will be a difficult task for me, trust me I've gone into more secured places than it.The thought that Lola would be more terrified than how she already is, if words about my actions get to her, was what kept me standing here like this, after giving it a hard thought I turned on my heels and head back to the corridor, on getting there Nora was long gone.She was right after all, at times I forget that apart from being my little sister she's also a daughter of the Donovan, at times it's best to allow her handle things herself, my only fear is that she's very soft hearted more like a human than a vamp and people with bad intention are quick to notice people like her and take advantage of them. I don't think I will sit still if something should happen to her. Cupping my face in my hand, I silently mouthed some words of encouragement to myself. I raised my head to catch some movement inside Lola's ward. I
