Esther

I really should’ve listened to Dominic when he told me not to go outside. My nose picks up Henry’s scent, the scent of mildew, dust, trees and a lot of pollen. I slowly open my eyes, and Henry is the first thing I see.

He is sitting on the other side of the table, his eyes on his phone. I try to move my hands, but they are tied to my back.

“Well, well, well, Princess Esther,” he says in his British accent. He doesn’t look up from his phone, but he is looking at me through his peripheral vision. “The love of my life.“

“Henry,” I say weakly, trying to figure out how we arrived here so fast and where the hell we are. How long have we been travelling?

“Oh! You remember me?” He places his phone on the table.

“What do you want?” I glare at him.

“We’ll get to that part, soon. We need to catch up first. We haven’t seen each other in centuries. You look paler and really weak.”

“You injected me with the ghost orchid?” I ask to confirm.

“Yes,” he nods. "Think of it as a sedative.

    Esther ‘For what it’s worth, princess. I really loved you, and I hoped that one day you would love me back, but it was always him.’ Henry’s words replay in my mind, or more like haunt me. Those were his last words, and I wreck my brain trying to make sense of the meaning behind those words. I have just opened my eyes. Dominic and I are cuddling for one last time, I suppose. I stay in position, not wanting to move, as a single movement might set him off and remind him that I’m not the one he is supposed to be cuddling. The interrupting sound of a knock makes me sigh and almost groan in frustration. The moment the scent alerts me of who it is, I instinctively get out of bed and head to the window, wearing Dominic’s t-shirt. “What are you doing?” Dominic looks at me from the bed, showing no intention of moving. “Leaving,” I whisper. Pretty knocks for the second time, but Dominic still seems unbothered. “Your scent will still remain in here, and I also smell like you.” He says non

    Dominic “No!” Henry shakes his head. “If I can’t have her, no one can.” “Henry, this is unnecessary,” I try to sound as calm as possible. “You are all going to let me go with her, or I’ll rip her throat out.” Henry’s eyes are wide and a little dangerous. “You don’t understand, I love her with all my heart.” “You are going to rip her throat because you love her so much?” I raise an eyebrow. “Because I can’t live without her!” “Henry, listen...” I say, although I really have no idea what I have to say to calm him. “No!” he interjects. “You listen. Esther is mine.” He digs his nails into her neck, and blood oozes on the sides. “I know you are fast, but you won’t be fast enough. By the time you get to me, I’ll have her throat in my palm.” “What do you want us to do?” I try to calm Apollo, who just wants to protect his mate and he is fighting for dominance. “Leave, get in those cars and leave us,” he motions towards the wolves surrounding him. “Stand back, everyone,” I say author

  • Old Souls: Vampire Princess Vs The Last Lycan   Back To The Cabin

    Dominic I never wanted to communicate with Esther telepathically, as this could make her suspicious of my identity. I don’t want her to know much, she trusts her uncle too much, and she might reveal a piece of information that might be used to destroy me. Also, if she knows too much, she might end up getting tortured for information. It's 6 am and we have been trying to trace Esther for hours. Last night, after the telepathy, I never got hold of Esther again. Apollo is losing his mind with worry, and I’m also losing my mind. I’m with Aiden and three other warriors in Huntington Beach at one of my houses.Higgin, one of my friends from a satellite company, told me that a plane fell in the ocean near the beach and by the time we got here, they were gone and they left while their scents were still clouded by the seawater. I groan when my phone rings, but seeing Diana’s name gives me a glimmer of hope. “Where is the vampire princess?” She asks as soon as I take the call. “I thought

  • Old Souls: Vampire Princess Vs The Last Lycan   At The Beach

    Esther I don’t know how long I’ve been asleep, but the last thing I remember is getting off the helicopter and passing out. I am so hungry. Henry has been mumbling something about Edmund, whoever that is. When I open my eyes, I find myself on a private jet, sitting opposite his seat. He has unfastened my hands, and he is watching me, his face blank. “This is ridiculous!” I say to him. He smiles, as if everything about this is normal. “Did you have a good rest?” “Where the hell are you taking me, Ken?” “If I’m Ken, that would make you my Barbie.” He grins. I roll my eyes. “Where the hell are you taking me?” “Home,” he says casually. “What home?” “I’m taking you back to England, just until we are bound together by blood, and then we will go to America as official mates.” “You are crazy!” I groan. “Am I?” He raises his eyebrows. “I think I’m pretty brilliant.” “If you want power, why don’t you court Margaret, Charles’ sister? And I don’t mean kidnap, I mean court properly. Y

    Dominic I throw the tracking device on the floor and I step on it, rage coursing through every vein in my body. Felix’s words replay in my mind, and I get conflicted about who to trust and who I shouldn’t trust. ‘Dom,’ Aiden links me. ‘Are you okay, Alpha? We lost you.’ ‘And you are close enough to link me. Where are you?’ I look around. ‘That’s not important, what’s important is...’ ‘Yes.’ ‘Do you care about Esther?’ I try to calm Apollo as I ask this question, but I need to know that Esther’s safety will be his priority. ‘I don’t know how to answer that.’ ‘I just want to know that you care about her enough not to let anything happen to her.’ I walk around outside the cabin, trying to find out if I missed any clues. ‘What happened, Dom?’ Aiden asks. ‘I got a wake-up call, that’s all.’ ‘Did you meet someone in the cabin?’ He asks, his tone laced with concern. ‘I met someone I once trusted in the past, and he betrayed me. He told me that I have traitors in my pack and I

  • Old Souls: Vampire Princess Vs The Last Lycan   Someone From The Past

    Dominic I took the tracking device in case I run too far for a mind link. I follow the trail of her scent to guide me until it stops right at the river of Rogue River-Siskiyou Forest, my heart drops, and I jump into the water without even thinking. If she is in the water, I won’t be able to trace her scent, but the possibility of her drowning is close to zero. Unless Henry got pissed off and ripped her heart out, but I think I would’ve felt something. I hold on to the little hope that I have, and I get out of the water and go to the other side of the river. For the first time, I find myself shaking, but it’s not long until I find her scent again, and when I open the doors of an old cabin, her fresh scent alerts me that she was here not long ago. Another scent presents itself, followed by deliberate footsteps on the creaking floor. “I heard my niece is missing.” I grimace at the sound of this voice and the scent that brings back all the worst memories. “Felix!” I growl.
