Chapter 58: Questions Like NeedlesShe looked horrified and her eyes glistened in fear. As her mother pulled her and shut the door in my face."I am the Immortal you are talking about."I did not know why I confirmed their theory, though there was no point in denying anything. I just made the situation impossible to lure them."Do you find me frightening?" The plan was to ask anything as I was thinking of a way how to pull their interests. Then my question caused pain in my chest.Wrong question.I sniffed my emotions and stood in authority."I can offer food, shelter, and security. I am not giving an option, you are coming with me, by will or by force." I declared despite the thought that they might run and escape."Step out of your houses."No one dared to move. So I looked up and called my inner wolf."RAAAUUGHHH!" They started opening their doors. I looked at them and I couldn't help to feel pity.They looked about to drop dead on the ground."Don't try to run, you haven't eaten fo
Chapter 59: The Intruder I felt him stiffen and a I was like dreaming when I saw his tears running down his face. He cried again. They said vampires were heartless, I’m sure none of it was true. “I’m sorry,” he said and quickly wiped his tears. “Don’t feel sorry.” “I just…just want everything to be perfect for you.” His eyes have never been this hopeless. I would rather see coldness in his eyes than this, I could feel his pain. “Maybe… it would be impossible to create a haven for an angel here in hell with me.” I shook my head and touched his face. “No, don’t say that.” “Maybe you can’t be here with me, I thought I could do everything for you.” He looked away and that was when my tears fell. “No—” He pushed me away and my shoulder fell looking at him. “Look at me! Look at me, Velle. I am evil.” “Then where do you think I belong?” He looked at me again. “I don’t know,” he whispered. “You don’t want to do this anymore?” I asked and he shook his head. “Of course
Chapter 61: The Wild Newborns “What is it?” I desperately asked. “Newborns, there are newborns in the west creating havoc.” My breath hitched because of what he said. They’re bloodthirst since they had just been turned. “Who turned them?” He shook his head. “I don’t know. How will I know, I need to talk, Zild,” He answered. “We need to do something before they could harm anyone or even wipe too much.” I cannot leave the palace now. My pack members’ connection was too fragile, I’m afraid they’d kill each other while I’m away. “Can you bring them to me?” “I need Zild! I can’t do it alone. We aren’t talking about three or four here. They could turn newborns too. I learned about it a little late.” I want to go. “Go.” We both turned to my left and found Radian standing next to Lefu. He slid his hands inside his pocket. “I can’t go with you; I don’t have my wolf form yet. I can handle your pack while you’re away.” “And why would I trust you?” “You asked my help, and Mom said
Chapter 62: A Miracle Early-Shift Waking up to the smell of delicious breakfast was the best thing to start my day. The door went open, and my handsome King came in with the breakfast in his palm. “I told you, I just had scratches.” Though, I like that he brought me breakfast. “You must be tired.” He said that even if I was carried by him the whole time going back here.“Thank you.” He sat down and my eyes caught the bandage on his left arm again. I still wonder who did that. It was the first wounds he had, he never had injuries coming home. He said it was a newborn and shake the topic off. “You must have fought a strong newborn,” I said and he only smiled. “I did,” but his smile looked proud.We heard a knock on the door and Zild opened it. Lefu’s face came to my sight which made me smile wider. Zild picked her up and carry her inside. I thought they’d not get along this quickly.“How’s your sleep, Lefu?” Zild asked her and she gave him a thumbs up. She’d been very respo
Chapter 63: Danger to Her“What happened? What did you do? How did you end up like this? Answer me, Ryvan!”(A while ago)Ryvan had no choice but to watch over Lefu or else he had to sit between a meeting that would surely bore him. He stayed in her room and brought a book to read. Lefu was up and just sitting in her bed waiting for her mother.“Just stay there until your mother came to get you. Don’t make noise or even bother me.” Lefu looked at him emotionlessly. “What…” Ryvan lift his gaze to her and saw her pointing what he was holding.“What?” He knew what she meant but he chose to tease her.“That,”“Say it.” She knew he knew what she meant making her hate his tease. She grew more annoyed when he smiled. “It,” and his amused smile dropped. He closed the book and stare at her.“Are you really a kid? You look five or six, but you act much even older than your mom. Imagine, you dare to get on my nerves in just a few words.” His words deeply affected her. Unusual to what
Chapter 64: Early ArgumentA strong pushed me from my back making me fall on the ground. I did not remember her voice. She was probably one of those taken care of by Ryvan. I saw everyone step back while she stepped on me. I casually stood up like she wasn’t stepping on me. Did she think I was that weak?I dusted off my clothes and continued walking to the alley. “This is one of the vacant houses too.” I pointed one and she was totally ignored when someone took the house I pointed. “What are you doing? This is our chance to take her down!” No one was listening to her. And everyone seemed tensed and afraid of how I might react, they were observing my movement. I suspect something happened to me back there. Did I lose control? All of them had their houses chosen and she was the only one left.“What do you want?” I asked her. She was small but quite a fighter. She was agile too and probably was a hunter. “I want you dead.” I pointed to the last house and ignored her.“You can occ
Chapter 65: Burning DeterminationWe looked up and saw another boy coming. He must be worried about his younger brother. When he walked closer; I realized it was the teen I argued with. He looked surprised to see me and quickly glared at his brother. “What are you doing? Are you stealing again?” He angrily asked his little brother. “It’s okay, I don’t mind. You can eat anytime. But you’d be in trouble if someone will catch you so better store enough food in your house, so you don’t have to sneak in here,” I took an apple too, and took a bite. “Why don’t you eat with us,” I said since his little brother was not yet done. “My apologies, Queen Velle. I should have looked after my brother. Allow us to leave, Cyd can finish eating at home.” He said and pulled his brother. “Come,” I held my left hand out and initiate him to sit next to me. He looked afraid and hesitant, but he was wise enough not to disobey me. He sat next to me, and I put my arm on his shoulder. “What’s your n
Chapter 66: Failed Abduction He gave me a quick kiss before he left the palace to gather more allies while I was left to take care of everything in the palace. “Take care,” I said and waved at him when he looked back. He waved back and I watch them disappear in the woods. “Jane, you shouldn’t just lay up there when it was a brilliant day,” I said when I noticed her sleeping up on the branch of a tree. “Duh, and it was rude to displace cringe affection to a beautiful lady like me, especially when I was peacefully sleeping.” “Vampires don’t sleep, get down here,” I said and she sighed. “Duh, that means I was up all night. Do you expect me to be functional during the daytime?” She ranted while following me. She was glowing like a diamond under the sun, I did not know that this was how it would affect humans. It was not true that they die under the sun, they glisten and clearly attracted too much attention. That was why they prefer hiding from the sun. Other than that, they fe
