The enemies

Nyx pov

I slowly opened my eyes as thick scent of wolves, fill up nostrils giving me the urge to vomit.

The scent was Strong

 Overpowering. 

And Suffocating.

The weight of my duty as a Vampire princess was almost as heavy as the realization of where I was, i was deep in the heart of the enemies territory.

 The crimson's pack, packhouse.

 His packhouse.

Raiden Blackwood

The name alone stirs up something in me. Anger.

 Defiance. 

 And A dangerous thrill.

I sat up, immediately. And wiped my eyes with my eyes shaking of sleep., remembering the reason I am here.

 my body was full of tension as I remembered what happened yesterday.

"It wasn't a dream was it?" I questioned no one, as I looked around the alphas chambers, everything in the room was black, from the king size bed I am on to the walls and paintings of a black wolf with golden eyes.

I wonder if that's him.

Just looking at the painting of the wolf made me angry, I just wished the wolf will appear her so I can tear it apart.

"Now that will be so peaceful" I said to my self as I smiled at the thought of killing a wolf, that's one less enemy.

I slowly came down from the bed and glanced around the room again, no one was here, it was only me.

I didn't know if Raiden slept here yesterday, after he threatened me, I just casually walked to bed and lay down trying to anger him.

But I didn't realize when I fell asleep.

But seeing he didn't harm me even though I was fast asleep only confirmed my hunch that he also wants us to attack first.

So he can get the elders permission to wipe us away.

I was bare foot, the wooden floor was cold.

Just perfect.

 The chamber was big, very big.

 but eerily empty.

The fireplace was casting shadows across the black stone walls.

There were Heavy furs all over the furnitures.

 the scent of wolf musk was everywhere even on the surface.

Disgust curled in my throat.

but I swallowed it down.

I had bigger battles to fight.

I looked at the large mirror in front of me, but I couldn't see myself in it, I am a vampire and we don't see our reflection in the mirror.

"So called peace" I murmured

Before I walked to the door, I gently place my hand on the door knob and press it expecting to find it lock...

But

The door wasn’t locked, I raised an eyebrow in confusion.

Its this some sort of test?

Or challenge? 

Or Raiden simply just don't see me as a threat?

"And that will be the first mistake he makes" I said to myself as I stepped out of the room.

I stepped into the hallway, and slowly started walking down the hallway to the stairs,my movements were silent.

 The air was thick with tension, 

And before I even saw them....

I felt them.

The pack Were watching

Waiting like predators 

And Judging.

Their whispers followed me like a shadow.

"She doesn’t belong here."

"She’ll never be one of us."

"Raiden has , brought a parasite into our home.

A slow smirk curved my lips as I hear all the whispers.

 Oh, how I loved the taste of fear.

I don't belong here and I don't want too, and soon enough I will go back my people and we will wipe away the werewolf clan just like how the demons have been wiped away by both of us.

I turned my head a litte, catching the glimpse of a young she-wolf at the end of the stairs, she had a long black hair with black eyes but she looked exactly like Raiden. She stiffened a little under my gaze.

 But I just ignore her and slowly started walking down the stairs.

I could feel the piercing gazes, boring a hole through my skull, but I continued walking ignoring the burning stares.

my senses were sharp as I searched for him, and also try to study the place.

The first step of planning an attack is,studying your enemies territory..

And i also have to dig up their secrets, study their weakness, find the map of their territories and the moon light sword.

The moon light sword is the most powerful weapon the werewolves have, and as long as we have it we can surely wipe them out.

The vampires also have their magic weapon, the ancient blood ring, my mom the queen is the one in charge of keeping it save.

So i am sure here also the alpha is in charge of keeping the moon light sword, so getting close to him and winning his trust would be one of the ways to get the location of the sword.

But getting his trust certainly won't be easy, he is smarter than I thought.

My mother is waiting to hear from me, so I also have to find a way to be sending them messages on the progress of finding the sword.

The sound of Swords clashing filled the air and deep grunts echoed from outside.

I looked at the door leading outside with curiosity filled in my eye

Is there a fight going on?

I walked to the door and stepped through the heavy wooden doors leading to the courtyard.

I was greeted by the sight of wolves locked in combat.

Blood. 

Sweat.

 Strength.

I looked around amazed by how hard there are training to wipe us away And my eyes landed on Raiden.

He was standing at the other end glaring at me, he was shirtless, Bare chest,his muscles coiled like a predator waiting to attack and he looked at me like he just found The prey.

 he walked pass his warriors with no efforts.

A swipe of his claws sent one opponent to the ground. 

And A sharp kick took down another.

It was quite obvious he was ruthless, Precise and Dominant.

I knew he sensed me the moment I arrived, he wanted to show me how powerful he was, probably to scare me.

 His head suddenly snapped in my direction, his golden eyes locking onto mine with pure, hatred and anger.

The murmurs around us grew louder.

"What is she doing here?"

"She shouldn’t be allowed to watch."

"The alpha won’t tolerate her disrespect."

I was still just looking at Raiden

Raiden’s gaze darkened as he walked toward me.

 his sweaty chest rising and falling. It wad quitw obvous the Alpha was not pleased.

“Enjoying the view, little vampire?” His deep voice came, sending a shiver down my spine as I looked away from his chest and met his gaze.

I tilted my head, a little trying to act like I wasn't actually staring. “I was just wondering if your fight was all for show, or if you actually knew how to fight.” I said daringly.

The once noisy place went quite as all the wolfs looked at me with surprise filled in wthir eyes. 

The challenge in my words was clear.

Raiden wiped away some drop of blood from his knuckles, as his lips curved into a smirk, his eyes immediately changed color into something dangerous.

I know he is angry but he is keeping his expression cool, he doesn't want me to think I am winning.

 “You think I need to prove myself to you?” he questioned

I took a slow step forward, as i brought out ny fangs there were just barely pressing against my lower lip. 

"You don't have to Alpha" I said,

“I think you need to prove yourself to them,” I murmured, as I turned my gaze toward his pack members.

A low growl rumbled deep in his chest. “You like playing with fire, don’t you little vampire?”

I smirked, before I replied “Only when I know I won’t get burned Alpha".

The Alpha’s golden eyes, was much darker than usual.

I continued staring into them trying to read through it but I just couldn't.

 Then, without warning, he turned his gaze to his warriors and spoke, his voice echoed across the courtyard.

“If my bride wants proof of strength, let’s give her a show Warriors" he said.

The crowd cheered as all the wolfs looked at me like a prey.

I am the prey.

And then, Raiden looked at a man standing close to him sand said

“Fight her.”.........
