Bellatrix SinclairThere was a significant shift in his mood when he returned, a melancholy cloud looming over his head while his rage simmered to the surface.“The Vampire Diaries again.” Christian groaned, plopping down next to Valeria and stealing her batch of buttery popcorn.They all wave me off casually, engrossed in Elena’s discovery of being Katherina’s doppelganger. My focus was completely on Lazarus, he raced past without a second glance, yanking off his tie. “Lazarus.” I called, but he presses forward without a response.Trudging into his room, readying to slam the door in my face. “What the hell Lazarus!” I shouted, evading the attack.He tore off his jacket, frantically running his fingers through his hair. “Just leave Bellatrix.”“No. I’m not leaving.” I declared, shaking my head. “This obviously has something to do with The Syndicate.”“DONT!” He snapped, turning around and his eyes darkened, “You don’t get to ask me questions on what goes on there.”“Maybe I don’t have

Bellatrix Sinclair“The Golden Spa.” I read. “This certainly wasn’t what I expected.”Valeria smirks, squinting her eyes playfully. “Did you think something dirty?”“N-no.”She chuckled, “You totally did.” Nudging me gently, “Loosen up, this is supposed to be fun.”I wanted to be at ease, except the truth remained that I only came this district once with Lazarus. This was a completely new experience, uncharted territory because I’m venturing into werewolf’s domain as the only human without any semblance of power.A tightening initiated in my chest, searing my lungs and making it difficult to swallow. Anxiously bouncing from one foot to the other, Valeria placing a comforting hand onto my shoulder. “It’s going to be fine, I’m here.” She smiled reassuringly.Considering our first encounter was a disaster, I found myself believing her sincerity. The spa was in the central district, a different location and Valeria informed that there are various sections that make-up this place.Pushing

Bellatrix Sinclair“This is the budget for the Royal Guards attending the borders, King Lazarus as expressed his interest on increasing the food and weapons supply for the patrollers as well as the compensation packages for the ones who have passed.” Judah explained each document thoroughly, transferring them into three separate folders. “He might sign off on them.”“No problem.” I say, clutching the folders to my chest. “Valeria went to the borders?”“Yes.”Shit. I didn’t even get to say goodbye. “How long?”Judah reads another document, stamping the pages with a royal mark. “Indefinately. They are required to monitor and provide feedback before taking action.”Being Lazarus assistant had it’s advantages, I was privy to information regarding the inner workings of his system. Majority of the fundings for each Kingdom was provided by Lazarus personally, something I was shocked by.“Can I ask you something?” I hesitated when he nodded. “Doesn’t The Syndicate fund the Kingdoms.”He looks

Bellatrix SinclairI stared at the royal tester convulsing on the floor, his eyes rolling back. “Call the emergency doctor.” Lazarus instructed calmly, “Place him in the infirmary immediately and monitor his condition.”The guards carry the royal tester out of the dining room, Lazarus whispers something to Karina who takes the plate of food away. I’m momentarily stunned at what transpired, it happened in the blink of an eye.“W-why do you have royal taster?” I blurted, “You never had one before-““I’ve always had one.” Lazarus stated, getting up without eating nor drinking anything on the table. “When you prepared my meals, I didn’t need one.” His lips curled into a devilish grin as he teased, “Where was a human going to get poison here?”“Poison…” I mumbled. It’s been two days since I saw the lengths these assassins will go to in order to kill him. There was approximately three today and it wasn’t even noon.Trailing behind Lazarus, completely absorbed in my own thoughts that I hadn’

Lazarus De LoughreyI trusted Bellatrix to handle herself, however it didn’t mean that I wanted to leave her alone.Elias Harrison was the first Alpha to support my succession to the throne which garnered my respect, something that the other Alpha’s aren’t privileged to. I respected his opinions and let him express his grievances without being filtered.He’s one of the only Alpha’s who doesn’t strictly follow the Iron Laws, combining the Darkmoon Tribe with the Red District. They lived in a harmonious environment which made me much more lenient to chastise him.“You spoke of recent trading regarding witches.” I began, taking a seat.Elias handed over a folder and at first glance, the paperwork involved a detailed analysis of profitability while highlighting the aid it will provide to the soldiers at the border. “Approximately 30% will be given to the soldiers.”“That steep, even for you.”“They offered more than I anticipated, and I wasn’t going to object.”Skimming through the papers
