As a puppet, Charlotte received that silver knife with a smile and broke the necklace around her neck obediently. She didn’t even spare a glance at Eric, aimed the weapon towards her neck and locked her gaze with Casper’s dubious one.“Anything for you, Casper.”With that, she slashed her neck, blood gushed out of her wound. An involuntary howl came out of Eric’s mouth. The grim darkness prevailed before his eyes; the weakness of their bond shattered his soul.When he removed Melinda’s mark from his neck, he didn’t feel anything. But now a simple slash on their mark hurt like hell. He couldn’t even scream out his agony. Overwhelmed by helplessness, this torment was beyond his endurance level.On the contrary, the smile on Charlotte’s face was pleasant like winter’s sun. She raised that blade again.“It’s enough, Star.”Casper hastily grasped the blade and threw it away.“The removal of this mark will kill you. You are my beloved. I am not a heartless to hurt you like that.”Satisfied
As soon as Casper destroyed Ramla’s curing pad, Charlotte’s pain came back in full intensity. She yelped and scratched her nails at the cage. The smell of the burning flesh suddenly overpowered the cocktail of different scents.Finally Eric started to respond to her efforts, his low growls motivated her dying courage. On the other hand, Ramla was struggling to resist those fire arrows, the unending sea of fire was consuming her power rapidly.“What do you think, Ramla? Your measly tricks can defeat the entire coven? The sacrifice of the Ring Fire Coven’s witches wasn’t for nothing.My ancestors are still with me, guiding me on every step. You cannot fight with me alone.”A ring of golden fire surrounded Lisa’s body, she rolled her sleeves and flexed her mark.“I am your sworn enemy and your worst nightmare, Alpha Eric. You signed your death order the day when you burnt my Coven alive.King Casper was just a way to approach you. I used his resources, as it was impossible for to take re
Five years later.“Now my girl is looking like a real princess.”Alpha Eric fixed Anna’s white frock and wore a gold chain around her neck, his eyes were filled with fatherly love.“I am hungry.”Little Anna cried out for food; this last-minute dress change was limiting the time of her preparation.“Do you remember your dialogues? Tell me?”Eric took her to the dining hall, where Orion served breakfast quickly.“If I meet the Moon Goddess in my dream, I’ll ask her for food for everyone.”“That’s my princess! Go for the audition and give your best. Your teacher will love it.”He praised her innocent act and fed her cereal gleefully.“Eric!”“Here we go.”Their happy session was ended by a warning hiss, Charlotte stormed out of her room.“Amy dressed Anna as a flower with great effort, she even tailored her outfit overnight. Why did you ruin her hard work?”She placed her hand on her back, walking through the corridors was a strenuous task for her in the seventh month of pregnancy.“I s
With tears rolling into itself, Charlotte was mourning for her father’s sudden demise. Only her friend’s family was attending the funeral in this untimely rainstorm. Her best friend Ava's arm was wrapped around her tight, holding her close under her umbrella. Even in the flickers of fire in complete darkness, the look in Charlotte’s swollen eyes could break anyone’s heart. The kind where the tears are lifeless and the death of loved one seems surreal. There was no use of crying and wailing, tears were not going to bring life back to her father’s deceased body.Mostly funerals are sweet sorrow, there are memories of good times that came as blossoming spring meadows. But that wasn’t the case for her. There was endless darkness wherever she looked. With no relative left to support her, Charlotte was on her own now.As only daughter of the vampire house guard Carl Williams, she paid for her father’s funeral with the saved money of her tuition fee. At least, she was able to afford a proper
Charlotte’s work was going great but there was a slight inconvenience she was facing on her way back to home. She was bullied by a werewolf patrol team on daily basis, who considered her a plaything due to her weak aura.One night she came back, bruised with sharp claw marks on her back. Her roommate Rory attended her immediately and offered her own ration to heal her back. She was also concerned about border’s aggravating state, the warriors of neighbor pack were victimizing sired vampires for fun.In the past, there was at least thousand miles distance between vamp-were border. It was occupied by some rogues, but Alpha eradicated the entire rogue pack and claimed that land too. From that day, all nightwalkers were bullied by night duty warriors.As sired vampires were considered as “extra” even in the vampire kingdom, Vampire King paid no heed to these incidents. Days walkers were privileged but none of them worked in night bars so patrol wolves also considered Charlotte as a sired o
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 mo
“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
