The dark mansion stood tall at the center of Viscoria known as the heart of Viscoria.
The mansion looked dark and grey in colour and a huge Olive tree stood at the middle of the Mansion.
"Zane." Lord Wolfarine called, as his amber-golden eyes flickered up and down.
"Milord?"
"You had something to say, no?" The Lord asked, as he watched the clock ticked slowly.
"Hmm, Lady Herbert is here to see you and besides, the elders of the Town demanded a meeting." Zane said and the Lord chuckled.
"How jobless have you become Zane, seeing as you've neglected the important things you're suppose to do and chasing some skirt. Tell me, have you become attached to Yuan?"The Lord asked, with a smirk on his lips.
"Lady Yuan is like a sister to me Milord." Zane said sarcastically, as he rolled his eyes and took a seat.
"Hmm, sister is it?" The Lord, laughed.
"Stop talking rubbish Wolfarine, you and I both know that Yuan is out of my reach."
"No wonder you call her a sister." The Lord nodded.
"You have become more crazy than the last time."
"Tell me the main reason you're here Zane and don't beat around the bush."
"Your mother will be here by this time two months to come." Zane answered.
The door opened and an older woman walked in to the study.
"Hello Caitlin." Zane smiled at the woman who smiled back.
"My little rockabye."
"Ouch, that hurts my feelings... I'm a big man Caitlin."
"Once upon a time, you were a baby as so was Wolfarine." The woman said, and Zane bursted in to laughter.
"Serve the tea and leave Caitlin." The Lord said.
"Yes, Milord." The older woman said, as she bowed and left the room.
"At least be humble to Caitlin you ass hole, that's the only thing you can do for her precisely." Zane glared at the Lord.
"You too Zane, you've delivered your report..I think it's time you scoot away." The Lord said, nonchalantly as he flipped the pages.
"Good bye Milord." Zane huffed, and off he left the study.
Lord Wolfarine sighed, as he rubbed his forehead...his thoughts going to the talk he had with Morgana.
*
"What insect had flown to the dark flower, very blind I must say." Lady Morgana clicked her tongue.
"What is it, you have to say Morgana?"
"Have you found your mate Milord? A mate is something one is not suppose to refuse not even for a man like yourself Milord."
"I didn't say I have, did I Morgana?"
"I was just letting you know Milord, better than to know than not to know at all. It could be really frustrating." Lady Morgana said, and smiled before rounding the table and leaving the hall.

"Milord!' Zane bursted in to the study room.
"Do you want me to hang your head on the stake and put it at the top of my castle."
"The village where Lady Beatrice stays was ambushed, there is no one left except for Lady Beatrice herself and her family."
"Hmm. It is not an easy thing to capture a Cold blooded Vampire Zane." The Lord said, and gave him a smile.
"That's not the point here Wolfarine. She's your mate!"
"Are you done?"
"I will tell mother about this!"
The Lord of Viscoria sighed, tilting his head to look at the younger man that stood near the door.
"Don't test my patience dead brother, you do not want Yuan to suffer for your foolishness."
"She's not part of this, why are you involving her?" Zane gritted his teeth.
"When has Yuan not being a part of this? Yuan has always been a part of our conversation." Lord Wolfarine smiled, clicking his tongue as he continued to flip the pages.
Truth was that, he had already gotten the news that the small village was captured and everyone was taken.
There was no way she would have been taken, seeing as she was a Cold-blooded Vampire or was she weak? It depended on her.
"The Banquet is tommorow and I would not like you going to mother and spilling nonsense, we both know she is not a sane woman."
"As you wish Milord." Zane said, walking out of the study not after hitting the vase for it to shatter to the ground.
"How childish!"

"If this is the way we're going to load this to the carriage and then I'm afriad we'll leave by nightfall dear sister." Beatrice glared at her sister who picked the little items little by little, sending them to the carriage.
After the village was deserted, there was no way they'd stay alone and alas, they had gotten a house in the city of Viscoria.
"I was hit so many times than you were sister, I have no powers left." Mel said, as she sighed rubbing her forehead to clean the sweats.
"I think that can do Beatrice, no more items to the carriage." Grandpa Pablo said, as he walked out of the house with a small bag that he hung on his neck.
"I wonder what you're going to wear there sister, seeing that you didn't put your box in to the carriage. You might as well end up wearing nothing but your undies. I don't Share." Beatrice huffed, as she got in to the carriage.
"You don't share indeed." Mel chuckled, as she got in to the carriage as well.
Beatrice sighed.
"The Lord's Banquet will be held tommorow dear sister, did you bring the invitation card with you?" Mel asked, and Beatrice nodded after responding with a hum.
"They Lord is quite a beauty isn't he?" Mel asked again.
"Hmm, if you say so dear sister then yes, he is." Beatrice nodded and gave her sister a smile.
"Don't smile like that, it doesn't suit you at all." Mel teased.
"I am a fall....I am an Elite sister."
"Oh...a fallen one!"
As the carriage rode to the Heart of Viscoria.
TBC
Chapter 8The journey to the town of Viscoria was slow, unlike their previous journeys, as the carriage rode slowly due to the items they had loaded on the carriage.Beatrice stepped down from the carriage and sighed, stretching her hands."The journey was indeed slow sister," Mel said, sighing."Hmm.A mansion." Beatrice said, turning to the older man."This belonged to your father Mr. Pendragon." The man said, staring at the huge Mansion."Papa never said a thing about living in Victoria." Beatrice frowned."Enough talking, and more packing." The older man hushed, as she furrowed her brows and the frown deepened."You're trying to avoid the talk now Grandpa Pablo." Beatrice huffed, for her sister to sigh again."I'm so tired." Mel sighed again, as she picked up the little items she had dropped in the carriage."This is not fair, I don't get to pack the huge items and unpack them again!""Life is never fair dear sister." Mel yawned.Three maids ran out of the mansion to help with the
Chapter 9"Hmm, it is a pleasure to meet you Lady Beatrice." Lady Yuan said."It is my pleasure Milady." Beatrice smiled."Your fangs are sharp.""I told her so." Lady Herbert said, walking out of the room she had just gone into."Don't flatter me Milady, it is not as sharp as yours.""Lies, it is almost the same...with Wolfarine." Lady Yuan said, and gave her a smile."Pardon me, I'm used to call him that." "Why not Lady Yuan, there is no need to give me an excuse, every one knows he's like a brother to you." Beatrice said, not knowing why the lady were being so nice to her.Was it normal? or was it how they were?But they tales she had heard when she was little was that this particular creatures were evil and cruel.Or was it a way to lure her and stake her?"Don't tense Beatrice, we're not going to hurt you, not that we can anyway. You're a Cold-blooded Vampire and a powerful one at that." Yuan said and Beatrice nodded, reluctantly.Beatrice was not going to lose guard with this pe
"Milord!" Beatrice gasped, bowing her head to the man that stood behind them."Good day Milord." Mel bowed too, and Beatrice bit her lips."Hmm, how are you two enjoying the banquet?" The Lord of Victoria asked with a smile."We just got here Milord, the banquet is sure going to be great," Mel answered as Beatrice kept quiet.She was still wondering whether or not the Lord of Viscoria had heard her talk about him in such a way.He was a good man and he would do nothing to her. She assured herself."What about you Lady Beatrice?" She felt her soul leave her body.Raising her head, Beatrice smiled at the Lord and looked away."The banquet will be great Milord." She said and the Lord nodded."Lady Beatrice." "Lady Herbert," Beatrice called to have the woman nod."Milord." Lady Herbert gave a slight bow and the man nodded to her as well."It seems you've met the Lord already." Lady Yuan said and yawned."Not getting enough sleep lately?" The Lord asked Yuan to nod her head."Get some res
Chapter 11Beatrice stood by the stairs, her eyes boring down on the people that had women and men in their arms as they danced."Aren't you feeling dizzy Milady?" She heard a voice ask.Turning behind her, she smiled at the man that had a huge smile on his face."Why is a beautiful lady, all alone?" The man asked."Ha, my sister has left me all alone to dance with the men," Beatrice said to have the man laugh."You don't expect your sister to dance with you, do you?" "Ha, it would have been fun if she kept company," Beatrice said to have the man nod."Sisters tend to part ways when the time is right.""Are you saying the time is now Milord?""How would I know Milady, is that your sister wearing the flowery dress at the east wing?" He asked to see Beatrice nod with a smile."She's indeed a beauty," Beatrice said."Not beautiful like you Milady.""Ha, please don't flatter me, Milord, I am not one to compliment," Beatrice said and smiled at the man."I am no Lord, I am just one of the
Chapter 12Beatrice sighed, watching the man walk to her.He looked innocent but she could see through him. These were the kind of people her mother had warned her to avoid.She was not a little girl before her mother's death. Although she had looked so small, she was mature enough to know the things that went through the mansion."Why would a lady such as yourself be all alone, Milady?" The man that had come to the upper stairs where she has taken for a rest asked.Beatrice didn't want to refuse a man a dance thereby bringing Shame to him, but she didn't like them crawling to her feet.She didn't know that courting toasting a woman would be this bothersome on the part of the woman.She sighed, rubbing her head as she muttered some words."I am fine Milord, I am just tired." She said, praying he would let her be.She didn't have the time to talk with anyone, and how she wished to bang Mel's head on a wheel."Oh, and here I was thinking about asking your hand for a dance. Bad timing
Chapter 13"It is not as it was Milord, the council has decided and tomorrow it will be announced. They have been several deaths in Bathon and Lord Niklaus would give you more info if necessary.""Tch! Is that how boring the council has been for Fabio? He does seem to be agile to fight." The Lord of Viscoria said."I'll be off now." The messenger said and gave a slight bow.Wolfarine sighed.A lot of paperwork and a lot of deaths were something he was fine with but bringing more rouged vampires into his Land was something he would not tolerate.His wolf scratched and he smelled the air and something vibrated like a shock in his system.He put the envelope into his robe and headed for the door.He walked slowly hearing the light footsteps that were coming from the other side of the door.Raju"Ha, Milord?" She gave a bow and he nodded."What brought you to the hallway Little Beatle?" He asked."Milord?""Hmm." "Mel intentionally spilled tea on my dress, and I am here to clean up," Bea
Beatrice wasn't sure about anything at all.How she slipped, how she fell in the tub that was now filled with water and how the Lord was in it with her.Her eyes widened at their position and she gasped."Milord?""Hmm, it seems Little Beatle wanted me to join her in the bath.""Ha, Milord. I would never want that besides you fell as well, how is that my fault?" She asked."Words and actions are two different things." The Lord said to have Beatrice huffed.Beatrice straightened her dress and tried getting out of the tub but was pulled back."Milord?""Hmm."Her eyes widened, seeing that her hair had gotten tangled with the Lord's button.This was not going as she had thought it would go.Beatrice didn't like the way, her body tingled, the sensation that ran in and out of her body as her body touched the Lord's in the bath."Be gentle, less you cut your hair, Beatrice." The Lord said, and she nodded, fidgeting with the button and her hair."Ha, it came off." She sighed, as she removed
Beatrice finished with her bath and wore the dress the maid had brought.It looked beautiful on her and made her color glow.She drained the water and headed for the door."Milady?" Lola called back and Beatrice turned to see the girl smiling."Hmm?"l"It was nice being your maid even for an hour." The maid said, to have Beatrice smile."Thank you so much as well, Lola, it was nice," Beatrice said and turned around and headed for the table.Passing the so many hallways, she finally found her sister and the other ladies sitting at the table."Ha, how long did it take you to clean a little spot, Beatrice?" Mel asked, with a frown."You did that intentionally dear sister, and I will surely retaliate." "Never thought my sister was such a vengeful person, what happened to karma?" Mel asked, with a smirk.Beatrice snorted, taking her seat."Pardon me Milady's, I was held back there.""Did you take your bath, Lady Beatrice? You smell like you just came out of the bath?" Lady Herbert asked
