Blood Awakening 46 BA The Alliance
46 BA The AllianceLucia returned to the meeting room. Her mind is still thinking about Sebastian and Maridelle and how all things are getting entangled to each other. It will take a long time before those knots are untangled and the confusion and mysteries would be bared.“I had let them clean themselves first,” she broke the silence that ruled the chamber. It is scantly lighted as to accomodate the members who are vampires. “Within few minutes, you'll be meeting our guests,” she added to ease the big question mark on their faces. Lucia is facing some of the members of the Alliance. Each member are carefully picked and had undergone an intensive screening to be chosen. They are seated in a semi-circle platform with tiers. Most of the members are from the three major races and the rest are the representative from the other races like goblins and witches. She stood in front of them. “Then we should all prepare ourselves. We had the report of what happened to the infirmary,” said by
Blood Awakening 47 BA Maridelle's Backstory (part 1)
47 BA Maridelle's Backstory (part 1)Maridelle flinched. She wasn't able to speak. She can feel her muscles tensed, stiffened. She felt her face blanched. Her finger's trembled. Will he going to drink her blood?Alpha Ruya turned his back away from her and backtracked his way to his seat. His stare never left her. “Your father…” Ruya cleared his throat. He was about to tell a fraction of Maridelle's identity, a part of her past. “Your father was a good Alpha. I am surprised you don't know him.” Alpha Ruya supposes. She wouldn't be shocked if she knew it already. “I don't intend to acquire your blood, I don't want to look as ugly as that monster in the infirmary. That's what I heard about.”The muscles on her body relaxes. Maridelle thought the Alpha is going to lick the blood on her chin or the one on his palm. Using the back of her hand, Maridelle wiped the remaining blood off her face before she said, “How did know my father? I had never seen any of my parents nor heard about them

48 BA Maridelle's Backstory (part 2)Lucia smiled bitterly. Maridelle has realized it: She is taking a big part of the whole scenario, the whole picture. She is the key ingredient. “It's going to be all my fault!” She broke out in tears. “I should have been dead! I will be causing a lot of damage. As long as I am alive, my blood will be chased to be used for evil!”“Mari, we can end this, but not that way.” Alpha Lachlan tightly hugged her. He cannot let it happen. She will not sacrifice herself. The wait that took twenty-eight years won't go to waste just because of a threat.“It will end if I am dead.” Maridelle pushed him away. “Kill me,” she boldly suggested; her words are not filled with doubt, but is shrouded with pure courage. She knelt in front of everyone, begging to grant her wish. She has decided . “That is the best thing to do,” she added to convince them.“No!” Sebastian ended his silence. He will protest no matter what. “I cannot let that happen.” Her life is his life.
Blood Awakening 49 BA The War Commences
49 BA The War CommencesThere was a knock on the door. Nyx has opened it and came rushing in is Lucia followed by Sebastian. She raised a brow. It's strange. Alpha Lachlan had remembered his bewilderment. They must be hiding something from them. No one else has seemed to notice the things he noticed. They stood up, all facing Lucia. Lucia's face is enwrapped with a mix of fear and worries. They don't know how to describe her face. One thing for sure is, it can't be painted.“I am afraid to say this, but the war has worsen.” She breathed, mustering the courage to say the next few words. “Follow me.”They followed Lucia. The moment they reached the quadrangle, there are throngs of armed personel running to and fro preparing weapons of all sorts.“It's getting dark. Vampires are getting to attack and we are sending troops to save the civilians.” Sending troops was her initial solution to the ongoing chaos. Lucia headed towards the brink of the territory where they would overlook the wh

50 BA CampingAlpha Lachlan stopped their car few meters away from Nyx's car. But he left the lights on, revealing the other car. “What's happening?” Maridelle is panicking. “I'll get out and ask her.” “I'll go with you, Alpha.” She holds his arm.“No, stay here. She must have sensed danger.” Alpha Lachlan removed her hands off his arm. “Stay with Sebastian.”Sebastian smirked at him.Alpha Lachlan's eyebrows got a reunion at the center of his forehead. “Don't you dare to escape or take her away. I am warning you.”He brought with him the car key and prance towards the other car. Nyx went out of the car. She approached Alpha Lachlan.“Why did—”“I can sense vampires…” Both of them spoke at the same time, but Alpha Lachlan made Nyx continue her words. “And we can't use the cars anymore. Vampires, I think, they are flooding the whole way in to the city. I had received a news that the roads are blocked.”“Are you suggesting that we take the rest of the journey on foot?”“Yes, we can s
Blood Awakening 51 Inside the City (part 1)
Maridelle woke up with arms wrapped around her. She had slowly turned around to see Alpha Lachlan in deep slumber. She neared her fingers on his face. She has let it slide on his cheek. He is so calm in his sleeping state. The sun has not yet risen. She had decided to remain in her position so that she could watch him sleeping; and the wind getting inside their tent through the small spaces. She felt the biting cold, but in his embrace, there was warmth.“You should take some sleep,” Alpha Lachlan drowsily said. His eyes are closed, but he can feel her gentle stare at him. “You will need your strength,” he added, cuddling him closer to him.She breathed on his chest; he loved his scent. Maridelle had let her arm find its way to reciprocate his hug.“I am not sleepy.” She moved closer to him. Not even a tiny space is left between them. Their bodies are attached. “But, you should at least try to sleep. You'll benefit from it.” Alpha Lachlan opened his eyes and planted a good morning f
Blood Awakening 52 BA Inside the City (part 2)
52 BA Inside the City (part 2)Her fangs grow and a strong energy surged in her veins; her eyes turned its color to red. Maridelle's reflexes had made her put her hands on the lass's front shoulders. She pushed the young lass into the open area where sunlight has a full reach.“Oh, God!” she exclaimed, her hands covering her mouth. She did not want to hurt the lass; it was all her reflexes telling her to do it.They all stood still in front of the lass whose flesh started to burn. A smoke commenced to appear from the young girl's physique. She screamed in pain; she tried to take cover in the shades of the wrecked walls, but she has failed. In no time, her body has fully collapsed, giving them the awful smell of burning flesh.Sebastian picked a long metal from the debris of the house. He neared the girl's body and pierced her heart with the metal. Unlike him, the young girl has no avenue to withstand the sun; he has his secret of withstanding the heat. He has been drinking a pill that

Lachlan struggled like everyone else, but their captor are ordinary being with skills and abilities able to match them.“Let go!” Nyx commanded. “You don't know who you are dealing with bitches!”The woman, who they think is the boss, scoffed. She doesn't care who they are nor does she care to know them. “And who are you to boss us around, bitch?!” she pressed Nyx's face hardly on the wall.“Who are you to call me 'bitch'?!” Nyx angrily shouted. She struggled to release herself from the grip, but her position is making it hard for her to do it; besides, the woman's strength is incredible. “You are a dead meat the moment I escape!”“Hey, shut up! Your yelling wouldn't do us any help.” Sebastian was calm and chilling despite the uneasiness he felt with the silver chain and handcuffs. Now he wished that Maridelle's blood was able to make him immune to suc
