The frown on everyone's present, change to that of amusement when the creepy looking castle suddenly light up,they all turned towards the source, only to see woods stuck on every corner of the large hall burning with flames.Because of the sudden light,, they could now clearly see their surrounding, even though the castle was filled with dirt,dusts, not to mention the thick cobwebs that could be found at every corner of this large hall, none of this was able to cover the beauty of this place." Why are you all still standing there like bunch of fools,get ur ass working, we don't want to sleep in dirts,do we?" Zara's voice was laced with irritation, he was already more angered than vexed, that he had to step foot on this ground again and be reminded of memories he has never forget, all he wants was a cool bath to help quench his burning thirst for revenge, he thought his subordinates would have gone into action, knowing that they are as fatigued as he is but here they are enchanted by
TORAKAfter the incident with Lola, I became very alert, with the witches walking around skull villa, it was as if I was sitting on a pin, since their arrival I've not set my eyes on Queenith, she's probably avoiding me, but I don't think it's necessary, thanks to Nora I didn't act rashly, yesterday, because if I had I would have sold out myself and allow those idiots know Lola is my weakness."Yes." I said into the phone after pressing the answer button." Okay, I will be out in less than five minutes." I said looking at my wrist, I picked up my car keys and wallet before walking out of my study. I went to Nora's room but she isn't anywhere near here.{ I should have checked there first .} I hissed before going back upstairs. Since I was running out of time, I used my vampire speed. In less than two seconds I was standing in front of Lola's room. The loud giggle coming out of the walls was enough confirmation for me."Having fun,huh?" I commented walking in." Torak! " Nora exclaimed
Leah's happiness knew no bounds as she drove into the compound, loud music could be heard busting out of her car as she roughly parked at the garage. Highlighting from the car she threw the keys at one of the guards, for him to catch.She made sure not to forget the brown envelope and her own copy of the contract, early when she mentioned canceling her marriage to Jeff her father was more worried about the loss their company will incur and what will be the reaction of the broads of directors,he was reluctant to call off the marriage, but now that Tasha have given her such a great opportunity, something she knows fully well that her father has been longing to have but couldn't, she had lay her hands on.Walking into the large sitting area, Leah couldn't wait to break the news to them, running up stairs, she couldn't stop herself from calling out at the top of her lungs, " Mom, Dad, Mom Dad." She kept on calling, even taking the steps two at a time, Mr and Mrs Neville on hearing their e
To Ryan the reason Zara was after Lola was to get back at Torak but unknown to him,he and Torak weren't the only ones cut up in the love web with Lola." I wonder what does Champlains are thinking?, do they think secretly turning human to puppet vamp, will get them anywhere, once this get to the notice of the high house, the whole clan will be executed for sure."Leo said taking a glass from the bar and pouring himself a glass of wine, " care for some?" He ask turning briefly to Ryan before being forth another glass, filling it with a different wine he took it to him, " here, you need this,"he urge pushing the glass of red liquid into his palm, Ryan stared at the red liquor with disinterest before looking at his assistant, " my fangs are itching," he stated making Leo raise a brow," I mean it has been long since I last drank directly from someone, what happened today was out of reflex, sometimes I even forget what I am.``" You are different.."Leo said, running a finger on the rim," if
Meanwhile,in one of the guest rooms located at the west wing, Queenith who was standing in front of the floor to ceiling window had a smug smile on her lips as she watched the departing car become smaller until there was no sight of it again, but she still stood there as if lost in her thoughts, even when the door to her room was opened she didn't blink, neither did she turn to admit the presence of the intruder."Her evilness." Greeted the person dressed in a black robe with his left thumb pressed on the side of his right chest.When the woman didn't even acknowledge his greetings,the messenger proceeded to report,"my queen the human just left the premises."report the young looking wizard." Hmmm."was the reply the man got, but he didn't straighten his back instead he lowered it more."What are you still doing here?" Questioned the witch queen finally tuning to face her minor who looked troubled like he has a lot more to say but isn't sure if his head will still be on his body the mo
Inside another room that looks nothing like a modern room would, an old man had a smile on his wrinkled face." She's finally out!" He said to himself."Torak did all he could to hide such a tasty meal from me, forgetting she's just like any brainless human, now she's out of his umbrella, out there to serve as a delicious meal to other nasty creatures, but let's see who dares lay a hand on my meal."The old man stood up, walked across the almost empty room which only had a chair and two wooden casket as a sleeping place, he came to stand in front of his clothes stand, his darting eyes, running through the clothes as if searching for something but the frown on his face indicates that he was far from getting what he wanted at that moment."Looks like I will have to go shopping for some clothes.""But let's make do with this."snapping his fingers, his previous clothes were replaced with new ones, " now let's see how I look in this." One might think that saying this the old man was going
After the call Leah sent a short email to Tasha " on her way ""Good bye dear sis, our family will forever be indebted to you for willingly making such a great contribution at the last moment of your life." Her hands were folded in front of her and her eyes closed as she mumbled these words like a prayer.Because of the way his father spoke to him, Jeffrey Jones got agitated and couldn't follow him home, instead he stopped an Uber, which took him directly to the mansion that was gifted to him and Leah as a wedding present.On getting there he paid off the driver who didn't immediately drive off instead he watched the red faced man walk through the gate, before retracting his pager, after pressing a button he spoke into it.******Zara, who was busy admiring a garden filled with flowers, stopped to listen to the recorded voice note sent to him on his old fashioned pager, " boss the big fish is swimming to your river."" Wow,why don't I make a grand entry,my viper always love
"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
{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
