The dark rose from the grave and in the remote area, outskirts of the Sunfort City, a cult appeared out of nowhere. All of them were wearing long black clocks, covering their heads and faces. As they all stood in the circle, one of them stepped forward and sat in the middle of the circle. The deserted place was abandoned for a long time and no one had ever thought of running through it. That place had become a home to a kind of creature, called The NightCrawlers. The man sitting in the middle of the circle, poured blood over himself and bathe in it till the container gets empty. As soon as he bathed, the other cult members started chanting words in a foreign language. It seemed as if they were performing a ritual and the bait was the man in the middle. Suddenly, the lightning in the sky appeared and fell in the middle of the circle, on the man. The impact made the other cult members flee from the spot and they stood far away form the circle. Most of them expected the man to be dea
Alaric was upset with the deal Adna proposed to him. Not that his blood wasn't weak to perform necromancing but he had no one to teach him. Alaric was sitting in his office, with his head in his hands. Behind the wall hangs a portrait of a woman. She was no other than the famous Zara Knight, Alaric's mother. Below the portrait, there was a wooden decor where all the trophies were placed. It was from her mother, she was a vampire hunter. She hunted more than hundred of rogue vampires who were supposedly a threat to the entire community.However, She didn't survived the holocaust a decade ago. The holocaust created by the Whitmore family and it's cult. "Damn it…" Alaric was utterly pissed…"Master Alaric, you should stay stress free. The stress is not good for you. You have been through tough times before." Jonathan, Alaric's butler proceeds to help him but received a deadly glare form him."You should stay within your limits and don't try to teach me about my life." He was apathetic
There were horrific expressions decorated on Adrianna's face as she swung to the back of a room and landed on a bed with her ass. Luckily, the mattress wasn't hard and she was fine but the way Alaric treated her made her angry."Let me show you the real world…" there was a wicked smirk plastered on his face.Adrianna shook her head and asked him, "what are you going to do? It's not like that… i am no…" she was in the middle of her words when suddenly, she was pulled up from the bed and Alaric laid in her place."No, what? What am I going to do? Do you even know what kind of job I was going to offer you? Nothing, you know nothing.." his eyes landed on her outfit and he scrunched his brows."I don't want you to wear them… if you don't have better clothes, Just ask and i will provide you basic clothings. Alaric Knight's personal assistant shouldn't be wearing cheap clothes, it only reflects that I don't keep my employees happy." There was a stunned look in his eyes when he pointed out he
Due to lack of sleep, Adrianna was facing headaches and exhaustion. It made her pop pills to ease the pain, however, a brewed coffee prepared by her friend had made her headache disappear in no time. Her stomach was rumbling as she looked at the pasta served on the table."Thank you, Cathy…" Adrianna was being polite."Shut up and eat!!!" Cathy was mad at her."Are you going to stay mad at me for the whole day?" Adrianna was displeased by her actions."Yes, I will and might be more angry because I don't like you to roam streets alone when this danger is lurking out. Have you ever imagined what would happen to these kids if you went missing or were hunted by them? Neither they are animals nor humans, they have been classified as other creatures whose lives depend on the blood of humans. Or it could be possible if they were killing animals for the same." Her concern was genuine and the entire city was terrorized by the recent murders.This made Adrianna think about vampires more. She wa
"I want to resign from this job, Sir….."Adrianna's words had broken Xavier's heart. It crushed his hope but he wasn't going to let her leave that easily.He got up and stood next to her."Adrianna, What are you talking about? You are the manager of this cafe and This place truly needs you. You can't leave in the middle." Said Xavier with a low voice.She sighed and looked at him before she opened her mouth to respond."I know that but I can't risk my life everyday. I have two little kids and for them, I will not compromise. After Kelly's funeral, it was on my mind. Maybe, for a while, we all need to break through our barriers to keep us safe." Adrianna was worried and it was reflecting on her slight pale face."Still, there's no reason to resign. You want leaves, take it and I will not deduct any salary from your account. You want us to remain close for a while, that will be okay as soon as you think it would be. But don't resign, it is difficult to have a person like you." Xavier wo
The blood curdling scream was heard in the abandoned station. And then, there was utter silence afterwards. No hint of breathing air, she had forgotten to breathe. Covered her eyes with her firm hands but trembling, as they went down slowly, her eyes remained open wide at the sight in front of her.A loud gasp, and she lost control of her body before leaning back on the wall. The blood had spilled on the floor, so did the ceiling of the station. The vampire who tried to hurt Adrianna was taken down by the King, Alaric.His intense gaze made the other two run in fear. As soon as he closed his eyes to focus, no time was taken to grab the woman who almost hurt Adrianna. Alaric's gaze made her look down at the floor, yet it was too late to regret. He was no forgiver, He was the punisher. And there was no limit to his punishments. Without any struggle, she had accepted the fate when Alaric penetrated through her chest and stopped her heart, pulling it out from her body and then dumped it
The next day, Adrianna left her apartment and headed for the Knight's mansion. Although she had survived the near death experience and she was hesitant to leave the house but for the sake of her kids, She had to do her job. Now that she had resigned from the Cafe as her position of manager, she was traumatized from Xavier's behaviour.Like what Cathy said, No damage was done, assured that she was still far better than being involved in things, she could move on easily and focus on different path of life. She was at the bus station to get a coach to the mansion, but a car stopped near her and a driver exited the vehicle, proceeding to meet her."Miss Adrianna Cosgrove?" The driver asked from her and she nodded her head."Please, get inside. Master Alaric had sent this ride for you." He explained.Adrianna had no strength to refuse the proposal and hoped inside the car. It was a smooth ride till the mansion. The moment she stepped out from the car, she rushed to change her attire and l
As The sun shone in the blazing blue sky, Adrianna's day started with a rush. She bathed and prepared her kids for the school and sent them before finishing the chores and getting ready for the job too. Now that she wasn't worried about running through metros and buses, a lot of time was saved in her account. But, as a hard worker, she started using that time to do more productive work. She bought yarn and sewed sweaters for sale. While in the car, she remembered how her grandmother taught her to sew the yarn. She might be six or seven that time and was fascinated when she was given a sweater, handmade by her grandmother. It was soft and warm. Since then, she learned sewing clothes and crochet. It was a hobby but when the responsibilities dawned on her, she put that hobby aside and focused on working for her kids.It didn't take more than half an hour to reach the mansion and She was ready to start her duties. She changed her clothes and applied makeup, dolled up in her own way to l
