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.

Chapter 81Walking into the Mansion with the Lord to where the sword was dropped.Beatrice picked up the sword."Are you ready?" The Lord asked, his lips raising to a smirk."I am. Are you ready as well?" She asked, a smile forming on her lips as she watched him.He nodded, picking up a plate that was on the other table."Your hand. Raise your hand Beatrice." He said, and she did as she was told.Picking up a spoon, he spooned out a little of the ash and placed it on her palm."How does it feel?" He asked, after a minute pass."It's hot... it's getting hot, so hot." She mumbled."Don't throw it. Leave it there for a while. Bear the pain." He mumbled."It hurts." Beatrice blinked, a tear leaving her eyes to rest on her cheek."So...little." The Lord whispered, raising his hand to clean the tear that left her eyes."It hurts and you're mocking me!" She glared at him.The Lord picked up the sword and placed in on her palm."Without dusting the Ashe, try to unsheathe the sword." The Lord
Chapter 80"Aren't you the prettiest Luna?" Beatrice giggled at Herbert's words.She couldn't contain her happiness at the moment.She never knew the party would end like that.She had never expected the Lord to crown her Luna in front of everyone present.Was this what the party was for after all?"I'm so happy for you Luna." Yuan gave her a tight hug."Thank you." Beatrice mumbled turning to the other person behind her."Alpha Zane." She greeted and the nodded."How have you been Luna Beatrice?" Alpha Zane greeted with a slight bow."I have been well." Beatrice said, smiling at the man.Come to think of it, he was the very first person to know she was the Lord's mate cause she could recall that time she and Melinda had come to the Tea Party they Lord had assembled only to be dragged to the Lord by the man."You have a lot on your mind." He chuckled. A low chuckled that made him more Handsome.He had a little hint of the devil, and it made him look like the Lord in some way."I've al
Chapter 79Beautiful smiled as they Lord led her to the dance floor. Bringing her dress that touched the floor to her sides so she could dance well, her hands were wrapped around the Lord's neck while the Lord's hand around her waist as they danced to the beautiful rhythm of the song."No one is as beautiful as you Beatrice." The Lord said and she chuckled."And no one is as handsome as you Milord." She said for him to nod."You didn't even have to say it Beatrice, i know."That smirk on his face made her shook his head.Narcissistic!"Did you mix the item you had wanted to mix Milord?" Beatrice asked to see the Lord nod."How unromantic." He ticked his tongue."I have done it all, they only thing left is for you to grab the sword and unsheathe it. It will be magnificent." He mumbled, pride laced in his voice."Ahem!" Someone coughed beside them, making they couple look behind them."Milord. Lady Beatrice." A man bowed.The man Beatrice recognized as Sir Raymond."Will you like to ma
Chapter 78The carriage rode into the field of the Mansion and they both got out."Milord." It was butler Declan who walked towards them with his head lowered to the ground."What is it Declan?""It was Sir Raymond Sire, he dropped a letter. It is an invitation to his ball party.""What is it about?" The Lord asked, a frown forming on his head.He didn't want to busy himself with measly parties. He had something important to do."It is for the Lord's of the four land." Sighing, the Lord rubbed his forehead and nodded, as they walked into the Mansion."I can go in your stead Milord." Beatrice said, running his back.Seems like the Lord was indeed tired."Will you now?" He smiled and she nodded."Okay, stay with Herbert and Yuan when you get there. I will meet you there late." The Lord said for Beatrice to nod as he let of her hand and she walked up the stairs to prepare for the ball party.An hour later and she was dressed and ready to leave for the party.Getting into the carriage, s
Chapter 77"Now, enough of this talk. What did you come to find today?" Father Jude asked, dropping the rake on the floor as he went to the small bowl that had water in it to wash his hands."The Lord found another method to unsheathe a sword." Beatrice said for the man to nod."There is no method use in unsheathing a sword Beatrice. It depends if the sword is ready to be unsheathe or the sword doesn't belong to that person." The man said."It does belong to me." Beatrice said, her brows knitting to a frown.Base on what she had been told, the sword belonged to her.Everytime she touched the sword, it glimmered with power and light."So what do you want now?' She asked."Ash from the fire side of the church.""Is it the cedar wood or the olive wood?" The man asked.Turning around to see the Lord outside the church who had not made any attempt to leave where he had been standing outside, she sighed and walked out of the church."Milord.""They wraiths in the church won't let me in. Do
Chapter 76Picking the sword and dropping it on the table, Beatrice sighed as she watched the Lord take off his shirt.They were about to test something about the sword and he was taking off his shirt?Why was he taking off his shirt? She coughed, shaking her head as she turned around not to see him."You've already seen everything sweetie. Why turn around?" He asked, and she rolled her eyes.She had almost forgotten that the Lord was nothing but a perverted man with a perverted mind."I'm done." She turned around, hearing his voice."What are we doing now Milord?' She asked, picking up the sword that was taken from the Barbarian Leader. The sword that had chosen her, where she was yet to process the whole thing.The sword that had been handed down from her mother to her had not been unsheathed yet and now she was about to begin another session with another sword."Are you okay?'"Are you sure it choosed me? Some things aren't what it seem." She answered to see the Lord smile."Are yo
Chapter 75When the got to the Lord's mansion, it was already afternoon as they had stopped at many places for the Lord to deliver something to people."Hmm...the grasses has grown." Beatrice said, looking at he grasses that had grown at the sides of the Mansion where the horses were allowed to graze."Declan and some other men had gone to Nalish to help Niklaus deal with something in his mansion. There was a problem of a witch and the council had been questioning a lot of his maids and butler and Declan wanted to help." The Lord said, helping her down the carriage.Stepping down Beatrice nodded, looking over to the huge field one could see from where she stood.Unlike the sides of the Mansion, the field was the very same as it had been days ago when she had left."Did you bring the sword?" Beatrice asked."It is already inside" The Lord answered, gesturing to the Coachman to leave.The Coachman sighed, thanking God that his master would not be going any other place or else he would n
Chapter 74"Why couldn't he get an assistance for himself dear sister?" Beatrice asked."Are you being happy for me? Or yoire being jealous dear sister?" Melinda glared."Why not? I'm so happy for my sweet sister right now but why would I be jealous? I have someone better." She said the last part In a cough to hear Melinda scoff."Acting rude?""How could I not? When my dearest only sister had not spoken to me for a while now in peace...but when it involves the Duke.. she's smiling like something never happened at all." Beatrice snorted."You should be happy I'm even talking to you." Melinda retorted."Oh..how glad I am." "Keeping things from your only dearest sister." Melinda mocked, sarcasm laced in her voice."Well..... didn't I say sorry already?" Beatrice shrugged."And on what part did I hear the sorry? Saying sorry rudely doesn't count! Some sorry doesn't come from the heart! And do you know what hurts...is that you've only just met the man, whereas I was and always have been
Chapter 73"Well, according to what i was told." The Lord began.."I began to talk at the age of One, faster than many other children. My fangs grew and my eyes darkened." The Lord said.Beatrice's eyes widened and she chuckled."You were indeed stubborn Milord. Right from birth." Beatrice mumbled."Niklaus was the only one who turned out to be so slow. At two, he still couldn't talk and his fangs didn't grow out. Aunt Miralle was so worried about him...even Zane grew faster than him but Niklaus turned out to be a strong one.""Didn't you say he couldn't even beat Alpha Zane?" Beatrice asked."If it were a real fight, he'd kill Zane before the fight begin. He's fast, agile and a cold-blooded vampire with a little amount of wolf blood in him." The Lord said, making Beatrice's eyes widened the more."He's a Hybrid?""Not a full blown one. He's a cold-blooded vampire and has a little wolf blood in him. His father is my father's uncle.""Did you two get along? How did he become the Lord
