Unexpected company

last update Date de publication: 2026-08-27 08:10:30

Maximus and Remus returned to Backwoods. They had been wondering how they would break the news to Gianna. It took them longer time to decide, but they knew better than to keep it from her.

They had been her only family, and she had proved to them countless times that she was strong and okay on her own. She never gave them any concerns even when they weren’t close by.

But she had made them promise her one thing, and it was to keep each other safe. 

Now, they wou

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    To be seen again...

    The next few days were a little chaotic.Julianne had to share a room with Gianna and she has her things all over the place. Julianne had always loved privacy, but that was not going to be possible anymore.Maximus and Remus had made the living room their base. Though, she had given them her father’s room. He wasn’t coming back, and she knows there was no need to keep it locked. However, her mother’s room was the only one she wouldn’t let anyone in.Foodstuffs finished quite sooner than it should. She went out to restock, but in truth, she wanted to get away from them at least for some minutes.She walked down the street and headed toward a grocery store. She couldn’t help but be aware of how she looked. She looked like a grumpy old woman thanks to the people she now had over at house.She knew they were here for her, to not leave her by herself, and she was grateful for that even if she doesn’t show

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    Unexpected company

    Maximus and Remus returned to Backwoods. They had been wondering how they would break the news to Gianna. It took them longer time to decide, but they knew better than to keep it from her.They had been her only family, and she had proved to them countless times that she was strong and okay on her own. She never gave them any concerns even when they weren’t close by.But she had made them promise her one thing, and it was to keep each other safe.Now, they would have to tell her they had broken that promise.They told her everything, and just as they predicted, she broke down. It took her several days to recover from it, but one could still tell that the pain was there.*Julianne sat next to the window and watched the rain pour down. She trailed her finger along the water that trickled down the window before staring at the sky.She wished it could wash away all her pains.It has been a week and some days sinc

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    Leaving everything behind

    The moment Maximus broke it to the others that Julianne was leaving, they all came out to see her off.Remus, Ryker and Lena were at the front of the academy when they sighted her coming. They closed the distance and looked at her.Lena was the first to speak. “It’s a shame we had limited time together. I wanted to know you more.” She pulled her lips and gave her a hug. “Live happy, Julianne. You deserve that.”The two boys were quiet. Ryker finally spoke, “I know you are strong. You’ve been that way ever since I saw you. I’ll be rooting for you wherever you are. We’ll see again, right?”Julianne’s mouth twitched, but she gave a nod instead. Then she moved her eyes to Remus.She spoke first, “I’m sorry I couldn’t be the sister-in-law you wanted.”Remus let out a laugh. He took a step toward her and asked, “Do you really have to go?”

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    Things left behind

    A loud cry came from a distance near the forest that had been burnt down and everyone stopped whatever they were doing to stare in the direction.Maximus didn’t wait a second and was already running toward the sound. Remus followed suit immediately.Along the way, Maximus kept thinking if it would have been different if he knew earlier. He blamed himself for not knowing sooner.They got to the place and halted at once. Maximus watched the one thing he didn’t have to see again. He saw Julianne holding dearly to Cassian as if he was all that mattered and nothing else, and losing him would be the end of her.She had lost him. They had lost him.Why did he have to lose another family? Why do they keep ending up like this?Remus was not prepared for what he saw either. He took slow steps toward them and fell on his knees beside Cassian, reaching a hand to him. He broke into sobs the next second.Maximus took in a deep breath. A

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    Freedom at a price

    Everyone at the clearing witnessed what happened to the hunter and the moment Maximus retraced his fangs and stood, the other hunters stepped back.The leader held his neck and kept screaming, horror evident in his eyes. He pointed to Maximus and barked orders to the other hunters.“Kill him now! I said kill him! What are you still waiting for?!”The other hunters only looked and did nothing. They feared they would end up like the leader, and what difference would that make by then? They would become exactly as the monsters they were trying to get rid of.“I said kil—”“That’s enough now,” Maximus said, wiping the blood remnant on his lips with the back of his hand.He looked at the other hunters, and then at everyone in the clearing before returning his eyes to the leader. “It’s good that everyone witnessed this,” he said.The leader looked disappointed and he st

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    Not another goodbye

    The twisting vines took deep roots in the grounds and extended forward, toward the people at the clearing. Everyone was swept off their feet and it felt like a force was holding them down. They were thrown in confusion and no one knew what to do.They soon saw the roots approaching them gradually and the more it moved toward them, the more they felt their bodies being pressed to the ground. It was like it was holding them so they wouldn’t escape until it had gotten to them and then whatever happens, happens.By that time, the only thing connecting Julianne to her body was a thin line that could snap at any moment. She could feel someone’s hand on her back, or maybe, someone was trying to reach her, but she couldn’t turn or do anything. Everything and everyone she loves are already gone. At least that was what she believed. All that’s left now is to finish what she started.A conscious side of her heard her name, and it willed her to recog

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    Why would you suspect me?

    Julianne was already panting when she reached the front desk of the dorm. The woman looked at her and asked, “Is there anything you want?”“I think someone broke into my room,” she said and tried to catch her breath.The woman looked at her like the calmest person in the whole school, then she aske

    The match ended with the blue team winning against the red team by four to one. Julianne walked down the bleachers to the field with Marianne right behind her, and Cassian, on sighting her, walked to meet up with her with his hair all damp and his shirt wet with sweat.“You lost,” she said to him.

    Julianne sat up in bed and had her eyes towards the window, waiting. The lights in her room were off and she sat like that for a while, waiting for Cassian to come in through her window. If it were not for Marianne, why would she be expecting a vampire to come in through her window, and that too in

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    Missing book

    Julianne walked with Marianne to the library after classes were over. They met the library woman by the desk whose eyes were engrossed in a romance novel.Marianne pretended to cough and the woman looked up with a frown, as if angry that were cutting her spices short.“Yes?” she demanded.“I would
