All Chapters of Where There is Love, There is Pain: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"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

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

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

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

The hours passed and she did not rest nor sleep. As the night turns into morning all she can think of is Zeeb and how she would give everything to be with him. She left Ezra’s room, and as she got out, her father’s voice greeted her. “I see that you are finally taking your duty to this family seriously.” “Yes father, I know what I need to do,” she replied pointedly. “You should.” He said pacing the halls, leaving his words hanging as if he wanted to say more. “I should get going, I need to get to school. I need to keep up with this charade so I won’t jeopardize your plans.” She said as she started walking towards her room. He dashed to her door before she could open it, blocking her way, and said, “I know you have been toying with that Zeeb guy.” She gulped as she brace herself for what he was about to say. “Yes,” she replied trying not to show her anxiety whenever Zeeb’s name is being mentioned. “I have been watching you, Fleur, there is something about that human that concerns
