Derek's eyes widened in shock at the news of Charlotte's pregnancy. He stood there for a moment, processing the information, his mind racing with emotions. The room seemed to close in around him, the air thick with tension and uncertainty. "Pregnant... with my child?" Derek finally spoke, his voice barely above a whisper. The words felt foreign and heavy in his mouth, a reality he wasn't prepared to face. “Yes, brother! Whatever you are doing, you have to make it quick!” Rebecca's voice was urgent, pulling him back to the present. He could see the worry etched on her face “I….I…” Derek stammered, opening and closing his mouth like a fish, short of words. His thoughts were a chaotic mess. How would Charlotte have felt when he said those hurtful words to her? What would he do now? Would he tell her to wait for him so she wouldn’t feel hurt? Or should he let things play out naturally until all this was over? She must hate him now. “Derek!” Rebecca’s voice snapped him back to reality
Back at the hotel, Rebecca stomped in with a bit of fear as she entered the room. Charlotte’s heart skipped a beat as she stared at her. “Rebecca, what happened?” she asked, looking genuinely concerned. “Are you okay? What about your friend? Did you guys talk?”“Yes, I’m okay!” Rebecca said, rushing over to their box. “We have to leave now!” she said hastily, walking towards the door without waiting for Charlotte’s reply.“What is going on? You went to visit your friend and now you stomp in here, panting like a…a…. Are you okay?” So many thoughts were running through Charlotte’s mind. Is she really okay? Who did she talk to? What did they say? Why is she so desperate to leave all of a sudden?“Charley! I promise, I will explain everything to you when the time is right! For now, we have to get you out of here!” Rebecca said, trying to conceal her real feelings.“No! I am not moving from here until you tell me what’s wrong,” Charlotte said firmly.Rebecca sighed. “Please don’t do this,
Rebecca arrived in Paris on time and returned to lodge at the same hotel where she and Charlotte had stayed. She needed to tell Derek something, but how could she do it without annoying Jessica? She took out her phone and searched for information about vampires and their qualities. She further searched for their only way to die and saw it boldly and clearly written, “ONLY A WOLF BITE CAN KILL VAMPIRES!”She sighed at this result. Wolfsbane? How on earth would she be able to get a wolf? Before she could snap out of her thoughts, her phone rang—it was Charlotte!She heaved a heavy sigh upon seeing Charlotte's name flash across her phone and picked it up. “Rebecca! Sister!” Charlotte and Vincent sounded worried on the phone.“Where are you, Rebecca?” Charlotte continued.Rebecca finally opened her lips to talk, “I...I...am...something urgent came up, Charlotte! I promise I will tell you once I am back.”“Rebecca, I want you to answer me truthfully,” Charlotte started, “it wasn’t your fri
“Ahhhh! No, please! Jessica, please!” Rebecca cried out, with her cracking “Please don’t do this, I beg of you!” “I will do much worse, honey. I will feed you wolfsbane daily so you can die a slow death!” “No!” Rebecca shook her head, feeling scared. “No! Don’t do that, please!” Jessica smirked evilly. “You are so goddamn stupid, Becca, and that is why James, your crazy crazy father, locked you up for days. You fucking bitch, tests!” She shook her head in disgust while Rebecca begged miserably. “After everything you have been through, you still think you can defeat me? Your fucking bitch was once a wolf!” she yelled as she stared at her in disgust. “But thanks to me, your father locked you up because you are an abomination. But what did you do?” She pulled Rebecca’s hair and whispered into her ear, “You ran away and became a miller! You spent most of your life here in Paris, fell in love with one of my men who gave you wolfsbane daily for three freaking years, and now your wolf
“Werewolf!” Charlotte looked at him in surprise. “Werewolf?” He looked away. “It’s nothing!” he said quickly, avoiding her gaze. “Rebecca!” Charlotte called as she walked around, checking the restroom and every corner. The worry in her voice was palpable. “Tell me more about your sister. Perhaps I can help you find her. Do you have any information or pictures?” Charlotte took a deep breath. “I think I have a picture of her,” she replied, bringing out her phone and scrolling to find the photo. “Here you go!” He took the phone and looked at the picture keenly, but his thoughts were interrupted when Charlotte asked, “Have you seen her before?” He cleared his throat and looked away. “No, I haven’t.” “Oh God, what do I do then?” she said, concern evident in her eyes. “Please, can you help me find her?” she pleaded. “No! I don’t think that’s a good idea. I think you should leave!” Nathan said in his deep, husky, commanding voice. “No! I can’t. You can leave if you want, b
“What do you mean? Starting with Derek?”"As you well know, your brother isn’t the same person you remember!" She smiled as she rolled her chair majestically, feeling proud of herself. "However, I can change your brother if you tell me where Charlotte is!" she added raising her eyebrows"What? Charlotte?" Her eyes were trying to process what Jessica said."Don't be ignorant! We can also play this the hard way. My men are looking for her as we speak. It won’t be long before they get her, and you…? Well, you will still rot in your jail as usual. But you can save your brother from the compulsion. Nothing else!"Rebecca’s heart pounded as she processed the threat. She couldn't believe how quickly things had spiraled out of control. "I don't know where Charlotte is," she said, trying to keep her voice steady and calm. "Even if I did, I wouldn't tell you."Jessica’s smile faded, replaced by a cold, hard stare. "You have no idea what’s at stake here—your brother's fate and maybe your release
"Yes, Derek! It's me! Fight it!" Charlotte cried, her voice breaking.Derek suddenly collapsed, barely conscious, with his face twisted in pain. He screamed, suffocating as he muttered, "Charlotte!"Jessica's face twisted with rage. "Enough!" she shouted, grabbing Charlotte by the hair and pulling her away from Derek. "You think you can undo what I've done? Think again."Charlotte sobbed, "Derek! Please, I want you to fight it!"Jessica threw Charlotte to the ground, her face laced with anger. "Take her to the cell with Rebecca. Let them suffer together."The guards seized Charlotte, dragging her out of the warehouse. She fought desperately, but their grip was too strong. "Derek! Derek!!" she screamed as she was taken away.******Meanwhile, in the cold, damp cell, Rebecca looked up as the door surprisingly creaked open. Her eyes widened with shock as she saw Charlotte being thrown in. "Charlotte!" she called weakly, hurrying over to embrace her."Rebecca!" Charlotte cried, rushing to
“No!!” Derek and Charlotte cried out. Rebecca gasped for breath as she began to lose consciousness. The vampire sank his fangs into her neck and sucked all of her blood within a minute. Slowly, Rebecca’s eyes closed, and Charlotte and Derek watched as her life drained away. Immediately, the vampire guard dropped her dead body, wiped his mouth in satisfaction, and began to gasp for breath before suddenly collapsing on the floor as well. Jessica smiled. “Her blood is poisonous to us, but yours, Charly? I will personally suck all your blood dry and watch you die a slow, painful death, Charlotte.” She roughly pulled Charlotte’s arm, making Charlotte completely at her mercy. “Please, don’t do this!” Charlotte cried in desperation “Jessica!” Derek said with a heavy heart. Jessica laughed wickedly, her eyes gleaming with malice. “Derek! You caused all this! I gave you my love, my attention. I forgave you even after you threw me into prison, yet you still love her.” Jessica said.
