PETER'S POV"Centuries ago, My Father was a debtor to a ruthless Alpha." I started on a solemn note as I stared at the whiskey in my cup. It took me to the night I had my last drink with Zeus. My palm gradually curled beneath the table while their gaze fell on me. Martha and Simon, seated by my side."Unfortunately he died without paying his debt and I was forced to carry the burden. I became the Alpha's secret right hand. Doing his dirty jobs. Killing, kidnapping, stealing and all sorts. They were payment for my father's debt."I paused, my gaze still retained on the glass. A tiny smile beamed on my face. A sad one that didn't live to see the next second."And one day, the Alpha asked me to kill Zeus." I paused again, reliving the whole moment in my head. "Fear was the first feeling I experienced hearing his name.I wondered why the Alpha had asked me to do it or why he found me worthy to conquer a beast. But I had no choice. To run would only mean putting my family in danger. So lik
"How long are you going to remain like a statue?" Henry chirped but I still froze regardless. I kept staring at him in awe and disbelief. After so many years, here he was. Before me, wearing a cheerful countenance on his black outfit as if nothing disastrous had happened between us. As if he didn't disappear for centuries.He took the bold step, gingerly walking towards me till he stood barely inches away from me. His face still retained it's attractiveness like I remembered, but they also beheld suffering he's probably endured over the years. His hair had a slight trace of gold strand on closer look, one I once used to run my fingers through. I still maintained my frozen status regardless. His smile deepened and then he gently wrapped his arms over me. Holding me firm in his cold embrace.My breaths ceased and my eyes twitched. I was hoping to find comfort in his embrace like the old times but nothing was forthcoming from his cold body.They weren't like Zeus. Warm and endearing.I h
"Remember the days when we used to row?"Henry asked in a tone blooming of faint excitement as we walked side by side across the lake. I simply nodded as I stared across the waters reflecting the clouds' evening shade. It was gentle as always, with the ducks paddling peacefully and the air silent and warm. It reminded me of old memories and rather than smile, sadness dawned in me again."We were bad at it compared to Martha..." He continued."She was a monster at it and no matter how we tried, even when we cheated, she remained the best." We both chuckled reminiscing on good old times. Times when we were naive and free of life's ugly fate."I wonder where she is now..." He mumbled with a light sigh following suit and my tiny smile gradually faded. I suddenly lost the interest to walk and rather stare at the ducks paddling."She's happy." I mumbled in a weak tone. "With her mate somewhere.""But you don't seem happy about it." He noted."I don't like that look on your face." He respond
"Zeus..."Her voice sounded faintly."Zeus!" She pitched again. "Zeus! Zeus!!" She screamed in a voice that hid not her pain, I could hear her sobs, I could feel a divine bond between this lady and I. I could recall her smile, those green eyes, those rosy red lips that I could never resist. Yet, it felt like she was a total stranger to me. She felt so close to me yet so far away. Who was this lady? Who was I? And what was this darkness surrounding me?"Zeus!!" She screamed again and my body shuddered to life immediately. Warm breaths escaped my nostrils sharply, my chest heaved in an upward and downward manner, my muscles were constricting and expanding, I could feel slight aches rage across my body and my eyes faintly responded to the bright light gracing the room. Although my vision was still hazy and I still had no memory of myself, something felt awfully familiar about this room."Don't do this to me Zeus!" She cried again and like lightning, my memories came flashing before me. M
"Father..." I called in a whisper, unable to meet my father's gaze as he stood before my fidgety status. Glaring at me with so much contempt."W-why do you dislike us so much?" I asked in a stutter. He huffed and then inched closer to me with a deadly smile."I don't dislike the three of you, my dear." He toned in a sadistic tone that easily sent shivers across my spine. "I hate the three of you with so much passion. Your mother was just a means to an end. As for you and your sister," he lowered on his knee as he held my chin so my eyes met his icy gaze. My breaths ceased instantly."Both of you were a mistake in my life. Even if another child is born into this family, I will despise that child with equal passion." He added before he dropped his grip."B-but..." I gulped down my saliva as tears began to grace my eyes. "But we are your family. What sin have we committed to deserve this level of hatred?""Family?" He scoffed as he arose to his full height. "Know your place, you all are
"Remember, Your target is Green, the ruler of all Vampires." Simon's voice echoed in my head. "Feel free to slay whoever you deem fit but your mission is to bring Green to this household unharmed. Whoever tries to stop you, slaughter them down without hesitation."I exhaled as I finally looked down at Blue Rose Clan from the mountain I stood on, it was the nearest clan to the City of Marr. My ears could pick their chatters, their laughter and all it did was irritate me. My blood boiled with rage, my Wolf thirsted for their blood, my teeth grinded against each other and my palms folded into a fist.A devilish smile crept on my face as I exhaled. I looked up to the darkened sky, the moon bestowing its glorious beam upon this beautiful land about to bathe in blood."Whoever tries to stop you, feel free to slaughter them..." His voice repeated in my head again and my devilish grin deepened, my skin crawled with both excitement and lust. "Feel free to slay whoever you deem fit..."Series o
If anyone had told me that one day, one of my impenetrable clans would get mercilessly destroyed, I would have vehemently denied it. But today was the day I realized that truth and it hurt like hell.I gulped down my saliva as my eyes reviewed the clan, the once beautiful trees were now nothing but burnt pieces of woods, the houses were equally damaged beyond repair. The once relaxing grounds were now painted in blood. Blood of my precious members. The beautiful smiles on their faces were now a story of the past and all I could see amongst these survivors were horror and despair.Tears fought to crawl out but I just couldn't, my chest raged with burning pain and my heart felt like it was dying. Slowly withering but I dared not show this pain, this sadness and guilt. I was their Queen after all, I was supposed to be their ray of hope and not some emotional mess.With every step I took towards Vanessa, my nightmare's kept recurring. Their screams got louder by the second and it only wor
"Lady Green! Please have mercy!!" "She's lost it, run for your dear lives!" "Don't kill us!""Please spare us!!"I giggled as members of Marr ran Helter skelter, screaming like helpless goats for mercy. With each step I took amidst them, my bloodlust only intensified. My powers were beckoning for destruction and I yielded. Indeed, I wanted everywhere Red, I wanted rain of blood falling above me, I wanted to walk in that ocean of blood once again."Kill them!" The dragon artifact bellowed inside me."Destroy them without mercy!" The Witch gem agreed in a sinister tone. "Paint this place red already!!" The Werewolf hide roared."Are you hesitating? Look at your lambs begging for their pathetic lives! Don't you want to see them suffer?! Don't you want to enjoy crushing them?! Don't you want to hear their tears of agony?!!" The Vampire stone's voice sounded most devilish and I began to live hysterically like a crazed being."Yes..." I growled, salivating at the blood coursing through thei
