Note - I apologize for the delayed update. I was feeling a little under the weather, but I'm much better now. Thank your patience and support.
Zezi didn't need to pull any stunts to have George and Mira over. They were always brought to her twice in a week, like a drug prescription. It didn't take Zezi long to figure out that this must have been due to a mental health, something that the Doctor had prescribed and started how mandatory it was. During their visits, George would spend time with her, then leave her and Mira to disappear into Moon Goddess knows where. She knew he was trying to find a way for them to escape and many times she had been scared that he would get hurt, but the Moon Goddess must really be on their side, because he always returned safely to her. She hadn't seen the King after that day though. It was like as if he was deliberately avoiding her. Zezi had no problem with that anyway. After that forced closeness they had shared in a room, she was determined to stay far away from him. Not now when things were starting to look up for her. Not after she now had hope of finally leaving this dreaded place. D
Zezi shifted uncomfortably in her seat, clearing her throat awkwardly as Delice stood away from her, with her usual gentle smile on her face."I heard you were supposed to get married to him."At that question, Delice's grip tightened around her wrist slightly."Gwen sure loves to talk.""Ouch, you are hurting me."Delice quickly let go of Zezi's hand go with an apologetic smile."I'm sorry. I didn't mean to."Zezi nodded, rubbing her wrists, not because of the pain because that had now faded away, but she just felt the need to keep herself slightly distracted."Does it hurt?" Zezi asked, looking up at her."It doesn't matter."It was hard to read Delice's facial expression. It was ever gentle but the way her grip had tightened around Zezi's wrists earlier had given it all away.She certainly had feelings for the King. Whatever it was, he was important to her. She wondered if the King considered Delice to be important to him too. A not so pleasant feeling settled at the base of her s
Getting through the passage was easy... in fact it had been suspiciously too easy. Stepping out finally at the other side of the passage door, which was a small circular brick space on one of the sides of the high walls of the usually highly guarded Castle, Zezi was left stunned to see that George had been really accurate about the ritual that was going on. She hadn't expected this degree of accuracy. The streets were filled with vampires in different robes, mostly red, roaming about. George was quick to pull his family into the crowd and maneuver their way down to the cave with a speed of absolute urgency, which Zezi matched without a second thought. Her heart was racing, almost like it would burst out of her chest at any moment and explode on the floor. What if her absence had been noticed? What if the vampire doctor had come for his regular check up of her and realized that they had gone missing? What if he had told the King? What if the King was coming after her with his clou
"G-George..." She stuttered, glancing quickly at their daughter that he still held firmly to him even in his beast state. She knew she had no need to worry about Mira, he would never hurt her, not even when he was like this. If there was anyone she had to worry about right now, that person was her. His wolf hated her to the core. "Geor---" "He can't hear you." A growl snapped her sentence short. "I've pushed that idiot far back in our mind and he is going to remain there till I'm done with you." "George you need to come back right now." The words rushed out of her mouth, her gaze fixed on George, looking past all his beastly form, right to the person she knew and loved, to the person she knew loved her in return. Just as much, probably greater. This wasn't the first time this was happening and everytime it had happened in the past, things had always gone wrong. Horribly wrong. "You need to---" "Shut up!" He slammed his fist against the cave wall, right at the side of
Then she thought of King. She didn't even know why but she was thinking of him.She thought of the massacre that might come from this and, the lives that might be lost, the blood that might be shed, th---Her body dropped to the floor with a thud, her bloodied claws clawed deeply against the cave floor as air rushed into her lungs. She drew it in quickly, coughing and attempting to stand up on her feet immediately. Her chest raising and falling, her vision a blurry, the darkness not making any of it easy. What was that?What had saved her?She looked around quickly, trying to find her daughter to ensure that she was okay. She was. Sitting by one side of the cave, with tears running down her cheeks while she held her kneels and wept against her yellow gown was Mira.Thank Moon Goddess she was save. She hurried to bed immediately and Mira readily leaped into her embrace. Crying even more. She needed her to stop crying. She might fall unconscious and this time around, the Pack I
All around them were vampires, their eyes seemed to be in a crazy daze, their fangs peeking out from the corners of their red lips, their robes no longer on them.Laura swung around the branch of the tall tree she had been sitting on, landing neatly on the ground."Aren't you so bold, kissing another on my brother's territory?" Her eyes glimmered with a deep shade of mischief, one that stood ever so obvious and couldn't be mistaken for otherwise."We are out of the cave, let us go!" Zezi tried to move in front of her family for protection, spreading her hands to her side, but George took the move, stepping in front of her and spreading his hands sideways, sending them a threatening growl, his wolf at the surface.Considering what had happened in the cave earlier and how close she had been to dying, sensing that his wolf was coming to the surface gave her no ease.The only reason his wolf would be willing to fight was because George and Mira were in danger too right now. Laura laughed
Immediately, George went back to normal, his fist loosened, his breathing fast, as he tried to pull himself slowly from the floor but failed miserably. He reached his hand for her and she held it gently in a reassuring manner. "It's okay," she wiped her tears away. "You are okay." "Da-dadd-y..." Mira said, sniffling, and despite his pain, George managed to offer her a smile. They would have stayed in their family moment forever but the hands that pulled George and Mira away, smashed the moment, letting it shatter away like pieces of broken glass. She looked up to beg once again but the King was no longer there. When had he left? She hadn't even noticed. In no time, they were dragging George and Mira out of the throne room. There were strong hands on her too. Dragging her away, trying to separate the family. Mira reached out to her in tears but before she could hold her daughter, the guards were gone with her. They had taken George away too. And she? She had been brought b
She just had to ask?!"Let me out of--""Anything," Gwen spoke up before she could go on. "Selected limited things, my Lady."Zezi's spirit dropped at that. "Fine, great." She replied flatly. "Can you take me to the King then?""There is an order that you must not step out of this room.""Can you please tell the King that I want to see him?" She asked with a sigh of defeat, her heart filled with a certain bitterness at that.Gwen smiled sympathetically."Is there anything else that I can do for you, Milady?"Zezi frowned at her question.What was that supposed to mean?"You can't send my message to the King?""The King does not want to see you, Milady. Even if I deliver your message, which I definitely cannot do directly to him, it would have to go through Lady Laura--""Nevermind."Laura.Just the name sent thousand daggers through her heart. Lady Laura hated her plainly and didn't even attempt to hide it. It was obvious that nothing good could come from her. Even if the message was
