How it feels to witness your life draining in a way you never expected, never dreamed of? What would be the last thing in your mind when you realize that this is it, there’s not a second more left? What is the extent of dread you endure when you could hear your killer coming towards you slowly, increasing your agony with his each step?
Charlotte was feeling all of the above with her life hanging by a thread. She closed her eyes shut as the beasts approached her, feeling sorry for herself. She was so weak that she couldn’t survived six months without her father, how much ashamed he must be in the heaven?Her breathing was getting shallow and her mind drowning into darkness, waiting for a big sharp claw to end her life. Anticipation was worse than real deal, she begged in her heart for easy, swift death.Instead, her sensitive nose itched at the most powerful scent of warm blood, the scent she never encountered before. Surprisingly, life saving warm liquid was poured in to Charlotte's mouth, her fangs extended and she grabbed the source of it, drinking desperately.Her savior didn’t mind her sudden shift of lifeless body to a hungry predator and even let her quench her thirst. Crimson blood was sweet and refreshing, something she never tasted before. She took a break to catch her breath, keeping that hand in her mouth. It was fun to suck strong essence from hard callous palm, she rubbed her tongue on the wound greedily.“If you are done, release my hand.”Her savior said respectfully, showing great patience. Charlotte did not leave his hand and looked up to see the one Goddess sent for her rescue.The stranger was a young man seated beside her, his appearance was also unique just like his blood. White shoulder length straight hair, sharp jaw line, thin lips and his eyes: Silver eyes with black slits was a deadly combination, totally captivating. Their eyes met and Charlotte felt a jolt of electricity across her body. It was mainly due to his intense unfriendly gaze, his handsome face was annoyed at her ogling. Not to mention his evenly toned muscular bare body, which she didn’t gather enough guts to slip past his neckline.“Are you enjoying my hand?”He used his eyes to gesture towards his injured hand which was still in her mouth; Charlotte’s heart skipped a beat regardless of her near death experience.As she was her father’s princess, he taught her some rules to live in this harsh world. One of the major teaching was: there is no guarantee that your savior is a good man, in fact you should be aware of the one who helps you in danger. In future, he could be a greater problem than before.Despite of her 20 years long educational career and repeated lessons on dealing with strangers, Charlotte’s heart was at peace. There was an unspoken trust surrounding her, she felt safe in his presence. It was like an unspoken agreement between souls that he would protect her no matter what.Charlotte came back to her senses when he literally shook his hands to break free. It broke her trance, she immediately let him go and apologized sincerely.“I am sorry, my savior. I was almost dried down that’s why it took me some time to reign in my thirst. Please accept my heart felt gratitude for saving my life.”Mr. Savoir got up, then she realized that there were eight more warrior wolves standing behind him.“What are you doing here? Who hurt you?”His cold voice was demanding, bearing an order in his domineering tone. He was puzzled that why a vampire was there covered with claw marks in the middle of night. This aroused his curiosity and the sense of justice in his heart.Charlotte tried to say something about this incident, but thinking that it’s not going to happen again, she replied his query with her own.“Who are you? I just want to know your name so I can repay your kindness, my savior.”That tall powerful man was bothered at her question, but still, he replied patiently.“I am Alpha Eric Dietor of the Silver Moon Pack, the head of Werewolf Council. I noticed that you are injured by werewolves, tell me what happened here?”His booming Alpha tone terrified her, she panicked at this bigger issue now. He is THE ALPHA ERIC, overachiever neighboring Alpha who is ruling over several packs with iron fist. She was aghast at this uncanny revelation.“What is this Goddess? I asked for a savior not that Alpha who is infamous enemy of the entire vampire kind. What should I do now?”In her extreme panic, she did something ridiculous which can be considered as mindless and stupid.Yes! She tried to run away.From her childhood, she always heard that werewolves were strong and best at fighting naturally. To compensate this weakness, vampires were blessed with lightening speed. Their slender legs were capable to sprint away with the speed of forty miles per hour. This credulity was the reason behind her awful escape plan.Charlotte was confident with her pace, considering that she would be secured in the safety of her kingdom in a matter of seconds, but she was terribly wrong. Approaching steps of Alpha just behind her back shattered her castle of overconfidence.In a flash, she was pinned against a huge tree trunk. Her arms she always considered so meaty to be grabbed by two hands were cuffed by Alpha’s one gigantic hand, her body completely immobile with the barrier of his long leg. Charlotte closed her eyes shut, dreading her mistake as the last one of her life.Life was so prejudiced against her!“That’s how you treat your savior, little one. I am utterly disappointed.”His hot breath fanned across her left ear, when he leaned in to whisper his complaint. His rough fingers were trailing over her pulsating veins. Charlotte was uncomfortable with his advances, she turned her face away to give him full access to rip her neck off.“I don’t have whole day, little one. Speak!”His ferocious growl shook the ground beneath her. She was busy in assessing the gravity of situation that how her major fault was going to end her life when another earth shattering growl brought her back to reality.And just like that, Charlotte started talking like a parrot,“I was attacked by a petrol team. They accused me of trespassing through the pack borders, but it was wrong. I am bullied by warrior wolves daily, but they never tried to kill me like this team.”Alpha was silent, not believing his ears. He was a supporter of weak, how could his own men started victimizing the powerless instead of saving
“You were saved by Alpha Eric? That notorious mass murderer who slaughtered our Royals? Charlotte, you got to be kidding me.”Ava wasn’t ready to believe her story which she had to repeat again and again.“So, you are implying that Alpha played moral police and even sentenced his own warriors for a vampire? Total Rubbish!”Ava was is denial. In their kingdom, Alpha Eric was taught as a subject to spread awareness about his uncontrollable hunger for killing. A merciless ruler who was blinded by the intoxication of power. Currently he was the head of Werewolf Council and next he was aiming for Royal Throne, extending his rule all over the kingdom.How could he have time in his busy schedule to help a worthless vampire? That possibility was hard to believe. But concession money of seven thousand dollars was a proof of Charlotte’s statement.So for the first time in their life, Ava’s family had a hearty meal, thanks to Charlotte. Uncle Tadd was curious about this much money, but she lied t
Crescent Moon Pack:Several wolves were encircling two strong Alpha wolves glaring into each other’s dark red eyes, growling ferociously. This rattled the bones of the surroundings werewolves, who howled and paved the ground nervously. Half of them were sure of the silver wolf’s success, while the other half was praying that the black wolf wouldn’t lose his life in this adventure.Without wasting a second, Silver wolf launched at the Black one, claws spread and ready to kill. With his growl resonating from the deep in his throat, they both collided, targeting each other’s neck.While avoiding the sharpness of the claws, Silver wolf swiped at the Black one, cutting a piece of the his ear. During this, his razor-edged teeth sunk in Silver one’s unguarded shoulder. The enormous wolf howled and shook him even he was trying to hold off desperately, throwing him back to the crowd.Immediately, everyone jumped back. Annoyed by the Black wolf’s puny claws, he snagged his tail. The Black wolf y
Charlotte was tired of walking through that narrow path for an hour, which Alpha covered in minutes that night. Pleasant sun was suddenly covered by the uninvited black clouds, threatening to pour down in minutes.Unexpectedly, there started a storm pushing her here and there. In five minutes, it started raining, making her wonder that whether she should go or not. Her clothes were wet, sticking over her body making her look like a homeless. But who was there to impress? Even in the outstanding clothes, she could not expect a glance of admiration from anyone. So, she moved forward this time with unwavering determination.The continuous struggle of fifteen minutes finally resulted in the signs of the werewolf pack’s border. Mostly area was silent without any guard there.“Isn’t it strange? Our border is heavily guarded and have three check posts. How they can be so careless?”Then, she thought about Alpha Eric, it dawned to her that who would dare to attack his pack. Anyone who had a de
“Why an intruder was allowed inside?”Alpha roared, lashing out his anger.“Luna has permitted Charlotte to work here, Alpha.”Alpha’s eyes narrowed at the name of “Charlotte” like running through it in his memory. With a “Hunhh!” he turned back without even sparing a glance for that so called “intruder”.Charlotte laughed at herself, braiding her knee length hair to show that she was busy, unfazed by Alpha’s fury.Her shift went smoothly as Roslie was very kind to her. Despite of her zero knowledge of cooking, Roslie taught her basics and gave her simple tasks of washing and sweeping.Charlotte noticed that Luna ate dinner with pack members in the Pack house. Whereas Alpha didn’t leave his office even for meals.“How hard working he is!”After midnight, she was scrubbing the floor for the tough oil stains when she heard intense enraged growls. She bowed her head more, like this feeble trick would make her invisible. Roslie came to her quite distressed, her face like a broken fuse,“Ou
“Come in!”Alpha’s grumpy voice resonated the room, followed by the muffled cries of Charlotte who was struggling to break free. In her feeble attempts, blanket slipped from Alpha’s shoulder, revealing his bare back.The person on the door was a beautiful She-wolf, who directly came inside as the door was not locked. She was dumbstruck at this ambiguous scene, specially orchestrated for her.“Alpha! I,I, I was here…”She was so stunned that she was unable to voice her thoughts, failing in forming a single sentence. Alpha raised slightly, content with her reaction as his glacial cold eyes shined, enhancing the level of satisfaction by a mean smirk.“Are you blind? Can’t you see that I am busy right now? Get out!”Alpha scolded her with an earth shaking growl, which forced that She-wolf out (who was wearing a revealing night gown) to escape for her life.That warning completely silenced Charlotte too. She was too dense to perceive Alpha’s trickery, frightening that she was going to lose
As Alpha left for an urgent meeting after breakfast, Charlotte was free. Taste of freedom refreshed her soul. She finally realized the misery of Sired Vampires. Indeed slavery takes a toll on you, leaving you mindless and unproductive. Most of the slaves become puppets to gain their Master’s approval, unable to think straight.Charlotte remembered all the incidents that her Sired friends told her about the twisted experiences and swore to never lose her sanity in this debt repayment. It was true that she was indebted to him and even had a crush too, but still, she was a free soul. So, she decided to never compromise on her freedom again.Alpha locked Charlotte in her room before leaving, keeping the keys with him to restrict her movements. In this dire situation, Roslie became her savior and helped her out. As an old worker, she had a spare pair of key’s set of the Pack house. Charlotte helped her in household works, literally taking the whole responsibility as a gesture of appreciatio
“Saving Crescent Moon Pack doesn’t mean that I have to accept this alliance!"Alpha Eric’s vexation was perceptible in his great emphasis on this critical matter. This meeting was called at the appeal of Alpha Bryson, Alpha King Alexander Maximus was seated on his throne to clarify this issue. As an approbation of Alpha’s Eric good will of rescuing the Crescent Moon Pack, Alpha Bryson proposed a marriage treaty earlier.“Your Majesty, I am old now and Sophia is my only heir. Alpha Eric has proved that only he can take care of my Pack.”King Alexander was not pleased with his reasoning, so he started icily,“What about your daughter’s mate, Alpha Bryson? Not to mention Alpha Eric can have a second chance mate too.”Discerning Alpha King’s disapproval, Alpha knelt down immediately,“My daughter’s mate died in the battle against Alpha Sebastian along with my son. My poor baby girl didn’t even know that 'Agam' was her mate. Moreover, Alpha Eric is single for six years. In case of mates for
