Carmilla

I took two steps at a time, gripping the metallic railings with my left hand for support, while holding unto the only physical evidence - the napkin to prove that I wasn’t entirely crazy.

My head screamed his name aloud.

“Evans!”

I pushed the small gate within the building, scanning the horizon for his figure, but he was not within sight.

Cole – Evans’ beta was there, amidst a few maidens. Well, quite a number of them.

He was the only male in the gathering.

In hasty steps, I approached the company.

“Hi.” Cole waved as soon as he noticed my presence.

“Evans.” I swallowed. My chest rose and fell, as I was panting. “Cole, where is Evans?”

He scanned my face for about two seconds before speaking.

“He is quite a busy man. He’ll join us in a bit”

Tightening my grip on the napkin, my voice was firmer. “Where is he right now?”

This was more of a threat than a question.

“Easy, easy.” Cole reply in a hushed tone.

He signaled at the ladies to leave, and immediat

  • Alpha's Bargain, Luna's curse    Brownies

    Chapter 84...Camilla"Excuse us!" We simultaneously thunderously screamed in her face. Her cheeks instantly flushed with a bright tint of cherry red, like ripened fruit. It must be the wave of embarrassment washing over her. And for once, I was pleased with Evans. She threw her hands up in exasperation, grumbling like a teenager before storming past us. Her small hips swayed with each step, her hips meeting the sides of her hands in a fluid motion, as if she were catwalking down a runway. We both watched her leave, our eyes fixed on her retreating figure. I hissed loudly and sighed in relief, feeling a weight lift off my shoulders."It was an ordeal, Camilla." He added, his voice low and gravelly. "We could have..." He paused, biting his lip, and exhaled loudly. "I could have lost my life." He stressed the word "I", his eyes locking onto mine. I nodded, unsure if he needed my sympathy or if he deserved it."What about the Jade serpent?" I was curious. "Was it captured?" He wa

  • Alpha's Bargain, Luna's curse    As An Apology

    Chapter 83Camilla's POV There was a sudden turmoil in the courtroom, as the elders began to murmur and point like they were just hearing the news.A thin teenage boy, fierce and commanding, stepped forward and yelled at the elders, calling them to order. I felt a thick lump in my throat as I panicked. Like little kids, their voices subsided, and Russell Reeds could speak on."After a thorough investigation, the park must tender an apology to the lady for the false accusations." He said.The courtroom exploded with voices from different corners. I felt a heavyweight burden fly off my chest, leaving me weak such that my knee gave way, leading me to the floor.I let out a sharp cry of relief. They wouldn't understand."The snake was caught with a worshipper." He narrated.Just this moment, I felt that Russell Reeds was just and benevolent, but I knew from the depth of my heart that something was wrong.What could be wrong?My name is cleared.Russell Reeds is tendering and open apology

  • Alpha's Bargain, Luna's curse    A Failed Mission

    Chapter 82 ...ColeBut it stopped abruptly, right at his feet, but it let out a loud shriek directed towards him.Truly, he trembled down to his ankles. I watched him stagger backwards, while reaching for his back pocket. And his hand came at the snake with a short silver dagger. Again, the serpent shrieked. This time, the dust on the floor was stirred, lifting particles which took the form of a hand and slapped the dagger off his hand swiftly. The same hand made out of dust particles was left hanging at his face.Jethro shook his head, gritting his teeth tight. "You sneaky serpent!" He yelled.The serpent curled high and erect, hissing angrily.The dust-made hand was raised to land a hefty slap across Jethro's cheek on both sides immediately.I really did see his dark pupils go upwards as though he was convulsing.He fell to the floor and blacked out instantly."Pheeew!" I exclaimed, smiling while in bondage.I checked Evans to see that he was wide awake, watching the unfolds of

  • Alpha's Bargain, Luna's curse    Turn! Run!

    Chapter 81Cole's POV "Jethro?" I asked.He subconsciously turned swiftly, trembling at the sight of us."What a surprise!" I exclaimed."Aye, beta!" He grinned, reaching for his pocket. He had two extra cigars waving at us."Alpha!" His squared chiselled Jaw was more pronounced with the smile he gave.Evans waved as we approached. Jethro threw the cigars at us, and we caught rapidly.We all had a smile on our faces.He passed lighter and patted the stone on which he sat, indicating that we joined his sitting."What brings you here?" He asked."Likewise you." Evans replied. "What brings you here?" He asked."Yeah." I added.Jethro leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees, as though he planned to say something really serious, but he actually didn't say a word for about one long minute.He sapped out of his cigar stick and puffed it upwards before sparing us a glance."To learn about 'em." He raised his brows while his spoke. "-The heroes." Evans took the same poise he had take

  • Alpha's Bargain, Luna's curse    She's Busy

    Chapter 80...ColeThe cranky door gave way with only a little push from Evans. On the small wide bedding with worn out cotton, the woman sat with her legs folded inside out. Her eyes were shut and she counted her fingers, muttering some words.The woman forced her way through us and blocked our path again."She is busy." She spread her arms."We can wait." I said."Here." Evans added.She sighed and strotted out.The small dusty room was barely lit, but we could make out what was in it. A small black cat seemed to appear from nowhere. It's green eyes glowed in it's dark skin. I could've sworn it's eyes looked enticingly glorious.She was finally done with her prayers or whatever, because she dropped her hands to her thighs.But the moment she opened her eyes, I saw a bright green glow, just like the cat's.Initially, I would have doubted my very own eyes, but I vividly recall seeing the cat. The next glance at the cat revealed a glowing set of blue eyes which also turned green wit

  • Alpha's Bargain, Luna's curse    She Knows Nothing

    Chapter 79...Carmilla The guards began to march; this time, even faster. My eyes searched around for a reason. Two men stopped before Cole and Evans. "The jade serpent has escaped," he said in a state of panic. I felt Evans' cold hand against mine. "Where did you go?" His eyes bore into mine this time. "Everything points towards you. If you cannot defend where you were,..." He kissed his teeth and looked at Cole. "I'm afraid we can't defend her either." "I did not help any escape. I... I..." I placed both hands on my head, as it spun. "My Lord!" Katrina yelled as she bowed. "The lady knows nothing about the jade serpent," she said. "Then, do you?" Cole asked.With fear that Katrina might confess, while covering my tracks, I also bowed. "She also knows nothing!" My voice was firm. "Speak!" Evans yelled, as though he didn't hear my statement."There was a man," Katrina said. "A masked man." Her voice was shaky, as she bit her lower lip, in regret. I exhaled loudly. "He is
