"My lady, the vampires have resumed their journey towards us, they were coming with thousands of men."I stood up from my seating position at the name 'vampires' I might not be fit but I am always ready to fight the vampires. I grabbed my bow and arrow ready to go face them, I know that I am no match for the vampires but adrenaline was pushing me. Even if killing the vampires was the last thing I did, I would not regret it.I turned to Charlotte who was still seating calmly on the wood, "what are you doing?" I asked staring at her in confusion. She raised her eyebrows in amusement before tapping the huge tree trunk that was lying on the ground motioning for me to come and join her.I stare at her wondering where she got that confidence, she smiled sadly the amusement in her face before was now replaced by sadness, she seemed to be remembering some very sad memories.I sat down on the wooden bench and waited for her to say something she wiped her face with t
"Oh that, alpha Melissa lead our warriors to victory, " she said unusually excited at the news." Alpha Melissa? " I asked." What! " Charlotte shouted springing up from my lap with shock written all over her face. I looked at her confused."No... I don't." "Who are you with?" Susan asked."Uhm she is a girl so don't get any ideas into your skull" I said throwing a glance at Charlotte who was now standing and pacing around the cave. I do not know why she was being worked up at the mention of Alpha Melissa. "Oh? Guess what?" She asked excitedly, the excitement was noticeable in her voice."What? you know that I am not good at guessing, so just go straight to the point." I demanded."I found my mate!" She sounds super excited." What! Oh my goodness," I could have gotten it right but I didn't want to add salt lake to her injuries. " When did you find him?" I asked, I was very happy for my sister an
"Hell no! I am so not going inside that hell hole," Natasha said folding her hands across her chest." Hell yeah, You are so going inside the hell hole." I said and start dragging her inside the cave where Gunner and Susan were already seated waiting. Gunner threw a bored glance at us before turning around and continue chatting with my sister."Holy Shit! What is that?" Natasha said faking a surprised expression while staring at the mountain side. I smacked her in the shoulder and continued dragging her towards the cave."You are not fooling anyone with that act..." I was saying before she cut me off."It's not an act... Look at that" she said pushing me aside probably to get a better view of whatever, or maybe to stand straight. I wanted to argue more and continue pushing her inside but the sounds of horses and chariots and warriors booth cleared all remaining doubt out of my mind.The vampires are coming! They are so close to us and th
(Two hundred and Twenty two years earlier)Charlotte's point of view"Mama! Mama! let's go already, the Pocey family are already waiting for us, we can't keep them waiting for that long. " I called after my mom as she walked out of the bathroom, she wasn't even ready yet? "Please calm down honey, I don't want them to think we are too earger to meet them." She sat down on her dressing stool that was facing the dressing mirror in her room and started rubbing her body lotion on her body. I noticed that she was having a had time massaging her back bone and offered to help."Here, give me the cream let me help you," I offered as I collected the bottle of body lotion from her hands and started to apply it all over her back where her hands could not reach."You look so excited to meet the Pocey family are you sure you don't have any other thing in mind? " She asked as her eyes twinkled with excitement." Mom..." I began to whine b
(Present day)Ash's POVWhat did you say?" She asked her hands finding her slim waist as she clutched her dagger."I did not speak french or Spanish did I?" She glared at me her fingers closing in on her short sword, I smirked at her temperament "I said that it is going to take a lot more than that little threat of yours to stop me from... Aghh. " I stared up in horror at Charlotte as the tip of her blade rode through my chest.I struggled to get my breathing together but it was impossible considering the fact that my heart was wide open and my breathing was now seeping through the open heart.As I stared up at her face her expression was unreadable, I thought she was my friend... But now I knew she was not will never be my friend, maybe I was just foolish enough to think that vampire were the same as every other creature on Earth.Now I know they are not the same, the are heartless and dangerously cunning. I stared up at her bl
Later that same day, I was seated in the dungeon with my back resting on the wall when a guard came and opened the door.Without saying anything, she grabbed my hands and jam the golden cuff against my hands.Against my better judgement, the girl was surprisingly gentle with me so I decided to push my luck."Where are you taking me?" She snapped her head sharply turning to look at me, I feared that I might have annoyed her with my stupid questions."I am taking you to the queen...""Why?" I asked panic risings in the pit of my stomach. Are they going to kill me? Or Maybe use me for one of their stupid sacrifices? I shivered in fear at the thought quickly rebuking myself."That is where you will be sold to the highest bidder." She said looking as sympathetic as a vampire could look.I cocked my head to the side trying to communicate with my wolf but that seemed to be the most impossible thing still. She hadn't spoken to m
I turned to run but stopped when I caught a glimpse of the short pistol levelled at my head.Delilah's pistol was levelled at me while smirking, "where do you think you are going?"I stood transfixed while staring helplessly at the point of the gun pointing at my temple."Let her go Delilah," the unknown man said as he delivered a killing blow at the guard. The ambitious guard who identified himself as Tommy collapse on the floor out cold."Who is she?" Delilah asked, I sighed in relief figuring out that she did not recognize me." My Business, so out of the way," the man said and removed Delilah's pistol from my face.I started following the man out of the house. We stepped out of the palace and rushed over to the parking lot, a black SUV was parked at the far end of the parking lot, with the black SUV being the only car at the lot I rushed over to it and opened the door to step in but when I noticed that the man who saved me wa
A few weeks later.Theodora (Ashley) POVI was standing in the front of a giant mirror while glaring at myself, I had not yet gotten over the truth that my wolf is dead.Save for the gift of the egg that Lord and lady Percival gave me, I would have been companion-less, though the Cub has not spoken to me yet but I was still hopeful that the it will one day grow up and be the same with me.I had been training all weeks and then Cub was really growing up faster than a normal animal. Though the little Cub would not let me be apart from him.It happened one time when I left the little animal to sleep on my bed and went out of the room get coffee, the distance created between me and the little beast woke it up. And it started searching for me immediately.Out of curiosity, I had asked the question that was on my mind since Lord Percival gave me the Phoenix's essence."Are you... You are not vampires?" I had asked staring deep
