Esther

I open my eyes to find myself lying on the floor of a dark room.

I sigh with relief when I realize someone unfastened my hands, and I try to access at least one of the vampires through telepathy, but I figure the ghost orchid in my body is still blocking me.

I sit upright, the coldness of the floor having no effect on me. I sniff, trying to make out where I am, and my nose twitches at the smell of Dominic, other werewolves, moist rocks, rogues and old dried-out blood. I adjust my vision to see better. How long have I been in this cave?

I crawl to the opening of the cave, still feeling weakened by the ghost orchid.

The opening is sealed with a large rock. I lie on the floor, hugging my knees, my strength completely gone, and at this moment, I just wish that they would kill me and get it over with.

My ears perk up at the sound of hurried footsteps, but I struggle to sit up.

“A cave? You have put the princess of vampires in a cave?” A voice that I know all too well roars. “

    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

  • Old Souls: Vampire Princess Vs The Last Lycan   Wild Goose Chase

    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. The pe

    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.

    Dominic She prefers Aiden, instead of me, and now I have to go back to Aiden to ask him to spend time with my mate. I clench my fists, a bitter taste rising in my mouth. I send Aiden a mindlink before heading to my study. ‘I don’t understand why you don’t tell her the truth,’ Apollo suggests. ‘Because she won’t believe me! I can’t tell her that we were in love before she became a vampire.’ ‘Then give her the memory potion.’ ‘Because the last time I did that, everything went so well,’ I say sarcastically. ‘Don’t take this out on me, and just so you know, I don’t like the idea of our mate spending time with your beta, who might still have a crush on her.’ ‘She wants to spend time with him, and according to her, I’m not an easy person to talk to. I just need a little time.’ I sigh. ‘Because you two have all the time in the world for a fairy-tale relationship.’ ‘Shut the fuck up!’ I grumble. ‘You resort to rage every time I tell you the truth, moron,’ Apollo retorts, making me c
