Out in the lush gardens of the castle grounds there was the smell of different life, Ray found it odd, he has been in this garden many times but now as the sun basked the flowers it seems to shed a new scent, it smelled as beautiful as it looked.
"Why is it so different? Sure the colors are more vibrant, but the smell, everything now seems more alive?""It's called photosynthesis" She said touching a rose "I cannot smell it my lord, only know what it means, I sometimes wonder how magnificent something like this would smell to someone like you?"Ray touched a rose as well, then brought it to his nose, the smell was deep and sweet "Photosynthesis?""The sun's rays falls on the flowers, photosynthesis is where flowers or plants takes the ultra violet light of the sun, ubsorbs carbon dioxide and turns it into oxygen, then releases it back into the air"Ray watched her as she explained this to him, her eyes never left that red rose, such a beautiful woman, explaiMike came into the Alpha's meeting and the room died down, his eyes scanned the faces as he passed to the front, and he couldn't see Tala anywhere, it shouldn't be hard to find her as she should know, front and center, this meeting was for her after all."Where is she?" He asked, they all knew who he spoke of and looked round."We are ten alphas, and twenty omegas in this clan! One of you should have seen her enter!?"No one answered, left and right of him sat Nathan and Sabrina, they also shrugged "That pup! Someone go get her! She probably overslept again!"The far back alpha stood up and ran out, they waited patiently for him to return but he came back quicker than he left "She's gone!""What!?""Her house is empty!""You made sure she's not probably taking a bath or something!?""No Alpha, she's nowhere!"Mike balled his fists angrily "Call the Omegas!"A few alphas left and not long after that the meeting hall was full, the enti
Victor patiently waited for his son to join him at the main doors of the castle, he took in fresh air through his nostrils and breathed out a long sigh."Father" Ray said coming in next to him."Let us go..." He said descending the stairs "How did the ring of Sol treat you son?""It was a new experience, in fact, it is thanks to that I want to go see a highschool""Maybe then it wasnt such a bright idea to give it to you?""No father, today was a great day, I am thankful"Victor smiled "I see""Then what of the Luna ring?""Its a pair, the two rings are like brother and sister, giving you just the one doesn't complete the collection, so do with the Luna ring whatever you want""I'll maybe give it to Sara...""No, she is happy with her wolf, she won't accept it""Then...""The right wolf will probably come son, give it time"They reached the staff quarters and Ray saw they were exquisite, well built and lux to a degree,
Sabrina realised they're approaching a human settlement, she slowed down and stopped at the edge."Smart girl""What now? We can't follow her in there?" The other female named Reina asked."We go in and sneak around, we use stealth, wait till twelve when the humans sleep the most sound"They were answered by a different voice "Sneak around hey?"Sabrina and her team snarled when the five other wolves came out between them and the town."Little bit strange for the Appalachian Lunpas to be... Sneaking around..." The large grey male said, his yellow eyes piercing Sabrina's blue."Who are you?" She said with a snap."Sassaba clan, this is our territory""Correction mutt! Beyond the creek where the concrete starts, that's your territory, you are now standing in Lunpa territory!" Sabrina snarled."Ah, an alpha hey?""We are tracking a rogue""It came here?""The scent crosses the creek"The grey wolf turned and looked i
Tala took another large mouthful of the elk and chewed while waiting for this alpha to elaborate, she felt like this might be her last meal in a long time, so let him speak his mind, as long as she can fill her belly.The yellow eyes opened his hands "My name is Turok, and this is my clan..."Tala frowned, she counted eight, five females and three males, she swallowed "It's, rather small...""Yes, and I offer you a place among it, what is your name?""Tala Tamaska"He jerked his head "Tamaska?""Yes""Your father was Muraco...?"Tala stopped her chewing "How did you know?" She asked with a mouth full of meat."Because he was my father" Turok said standing up "But this leaves me with complications, I can't have my sister in my pack""Pff! If you thought females are there strictly to carry pups then you're no better than that Lunpa buggers I just ran from!""I don't regard that, as you can see the females outnumber the males, if w
Turok came up to Sabrina who still patiently waited for him "So? You want the good news? Or the bad news?""Don't tell me the bad news is she already skipped town! Then our entire waiting here was for nothing!" Sabrina said."Oh no, she didn't skip town, I found her... Or what's left of her...""What's, left of her?""You see Luna, the problem I have with having a pack as large as mine, I struggle to feed them all..."Sabrina got the idea and smiled "She was eaten?""Never even saw a hotdog ravaged that badly"She burst out with laughter "Good, good then! I wish I could have seen that!"Turok smiled "Now, you can return to your mountain, tell your supreme Alpha the rogue has been dealt with, we don't want a war, we're living happily in this town full of humans"Sabrina nodded "There is still peace between us then"Turok watched the five wolves leave into the darkness, then headed back with his group into town.At the hideo
Ray joined Victor early morning before all vampires were to go to sleep, he had a map in front of him, and was pointing with a finger "Here"Ray leaned in "It's not too small""This town is perfect, it's close to the mountains, lots of fresh air, but that's not the main reason I want you to go there"Ray stood back "Ok?""A band of bloodsuckers are running rampant there, this is actually the town I found Sara in, that's her old pack's territory""Interesting, tell me about these bloodsuckers?"Its a term noble vampires use for rogue vampires "Its been a while since I've been there, I originally went there to sort the problem out, but then I found Sara and brought her back, her pack wanted to kill her""So you never went back to sort the bloodsuckers then?""No"Ray smiled "Good, consider them my problem now father, I will deal with them for you"Victor nodded and walked over to a chair nearby "Here is a bag of things packed that you
The sun just started to give light when the woman stirred behind him, she rubbed her eyes and saw him "Oh, hi""Good morning maiden, I hope you had a good nights rest?"She was taken back by his high quality English and blushed "It was a pain to catch the bus this early, but I catched up now"Ray frowned "You caught this bus? I thought it stops at a bus stop so you can climb it? You mean to tell me sometimes you need to attempt at catching it? How do you even snare a monstrous steel object like this!?"The girl was really captivated by his English, but baffled at his sense of reason concerning this bus "It's, a figure of speech, we don't physically, catch it so to speak"Ray realised he made a fool of himself and laughed going red in his face "Please excuse me... Would it facinate you if I said I never saw any of this?"She frowned."I never new of busses and cars, bus stops..." He pointed down out of the window "This road we travel on, what stone
The bus stopped at the airport and Ray hopped out with Lia, the driver gave him a funny look then closed the doors."I was probably the strangest passenger he never had"Lia laughed "You were, and the funniest passenger I ever traveled with""Happy I could make you laugh""Where are you headed to?""Virginia, it seems" He held the plane ticket up."Will you manage country boy?" She asked."I hope, I wish you could come with me, you where great company to keep"She smiled "I'll help you book in, then you just need to follow the sighns ok?""Thank you Lia, how can I make this up to you?"She gave it some thought "Well, you can give me your number?"He frowned."Oh no! Don't tell me you don't know about cellphones!?""I don't!" He said and laughed "I heard it's for communication, but I never even seen one before"She took hers out "This is it""So small! I never would have guessed you could just hide it like tha
