"My lady." Zeidan opened the door on the other side of the black car in the compound and stretched his arm as if he was a chauffeur. Lyne bit back a smile as she placed her hand in his and stepped into the vehicle. She was dressed in a blue t-shirt and jeans with boot heels. A typical dress of a city girl and a black leather jacket over the t-shirt. Her hair was brushed and a few strands were braided on each side of her face. She dotted her face with light makeup. Zeidan walked into the driver's seat, also dressed the same way, except he wore an expensive Italian pair of shoes. He always had good tastes when it comes to dressing up and she noticed that about him. She mostly envied his sense of fashion especially when she looked into his rack of clothes. They were always dresses bought from a designer's company. In truth, she isn't at all feeling intimidated but she always wondered what fascinated him about her when she was just a boring young adult. Even so, it was comforting to kn
Soon, they maneuvered in front of the pharmacy store with a new name. Dan Pharmacy. Zeidan exhaled and looked at Lyne whose mouth had ice cream smeared all over her lips. He laughed before licking them all with his tongue."Hey. I didn't even know I had that all over my mouth.""Don't worry. It's all clear."They both got down the car and entered the store, their mind made up to work together as partners.Lyne could see some random people, some with masks on, picking a bottle or more into a basket. She placed her hand in Zeidan's as they walked around the store. She was looking around the busy place."This place has changed so much." She could hear Zeidan say and she squeezed his hand softly, knowing his friend's death must have hit him hard."It's okay. We will find justice for her." He gave her a wry smile as they walked further down the store to the counter at the back. A short dark-haired woman looked up from her counter and as her eyes caught Zeidan, she paused. "Um...how...can
As soon as they both stepped out of the store, Lyne sat on the steps in front of the building, looking tired. He looked up at the changed name of the store. Dan pharmacy store. It sounded uninteresting but that shouldn't be his concern now. Which vampire female could be responsible for the death of Samantha?When he had fought with that fast cloaked figure that night, he was fully convinced that it was Wikh that he didn't bother knowing who it was. Now he wished he had stopped to think. But then the figure was faster. He should have known Wikh could never be that fast. But now they have a lead. Finding a female vampire who must have been plotting against him and known about his trip to visit Sam. But first, he needed to clear his head, with the only important person in his life."Dan thinks he's funny." Lyne glanced up at him and she knew since they had both met that Lyne already hated him. True, Dan could be overconfident but he was a big softie disguised as a baddie."He is nice tho
Lyne's cue slipped out of her hands as she tried to hit the ball and the white object veered away on the green grass, missing the intending target which is a hole, many meters away."Ow!" She pouted.Zeidan grinned, leaning against his cue, and dug his other hand in his pocket. He stared at Lyne who was in a white short tennis skirt and black long-sleeved top, wearing a white sneaker to top it and a white face cap. The skirt revealed her nicely curved fair legs and his stomach tingled. "Maybe, you'll get it right if you bend a little."Lyne glared at him from behind, her eyes narrowed as if suspecting his intention. She gave him a long, hard stare before moving toward him. "Nice shot, mister. But you ain't getting a peek, not today." She patted his shoulder and walked past him, her hips swinging by gracefully. "There's nothing better than to stare at you all day." He followed her out of the park. They had just finished playing golf or barely played golf as Lyne kept losing. She grabb
Styx took his position in the usual center while the others sat around the long mahogany table in the breakfast room. Azrael and Korba sat together by his right-hand side; George, Georgina, and Reb took their seats together on the other side; Olivia and Charles took their place at the end of the table. The table was filled with bread, ribs, avocado, salad, and different fruits spread on it. They all laughed and chattered while the sun was up. "I can't believe my first daughter is getting married." Styx began as he fixed a fork of avocado into his mouth, chewing slowly. Korba smiled softly and Azrael kissed her lightly on the cheek. "You've gotta believe it, Your Highness. Korba is now a full-grown woman ready to be a support for me." Azrael chipped in, his face full of smiles and beautifying his handsome bearded face."I still remembered when she would come up to me now and then asking me to take her for hunting. All those years, when she would cry herself to sleep because I refus
The moon rose high above in the sky, beaming its light on Vampire city, illuminating the golden buildings and seeping through the dark alleys. The weather was far from calm and it warned of a forthcoming storm accompanied by the wrath of a desperate woman who aspired to by all means be the Queen. Everywhere was quiet, including the streets and the palace. The wind pushed the trees back and forth, almost pulling them from their roots and every soul seemed to be hidden in their homes, trying to stay warm and comfy. However, Luana stood on the top of the royal building overlooking Vampire city in her black coat, black hat, and boots. Her hair was shoved into the hat and her claws were out. Her brown eyes had turned black as she resolved to fish out the Werecats and kill them before Zeidan comes back. Only then will he see how useful she is to the city as the Queen. Her heart fluttered at the thought of being called out as Queen Luana. The thunder rumbled through the clouds and she close
The steam was coming from the shower in the luxurious room that had a masculine interior design. The black King sized bed leaned against the grey wall and the artworks were mostly in black frames. Vases of flowers stood erect on each side of the bed and stacks of jotters and pens scattered across the study table from across the room. The bed was littered with Zeidan's t-shirt, pants, and belt. Lyne walked in with a tray of hot coffee and as she placed it on the table, she shook her head at the mess he made in the room. She started to pick up his trousers and socks when she heard the water running. The wind was picking up and the windows were opening and closing due to the intensity of the rain. She went to close them but shivered as she did so."I think I need a warm bath." She concluded and went to the wardrobe and picked a flower-printed bathrobe and wore it around her after undressing. She walked gently to the bathroom and watched the water run down from Zeidan's hair to his neck
Zeidan Bran stood facing the long widows, dressed in a black tuxedo, white shirt, and black Italian leather shoes. He was wearing a golden Rolex wristwatch and his hair was still wet. He looked very cheery and why not, his wife sat a few inches away, looking at some papers scattered across the table. Her hair was worn down and it made her look more beautiful. He remembered what had happened the night before and his heart skipped a beat at how much he had enjoyed every inch of her. He walked up to her and stared down at the papers she was looking through."What are those?" He asked."These are the printed CCTV footage from the time you arrived in Los Angeles and when you went to see Samantha. I thought the unknown person might have come to your company to do something. But to do what?""You don't possibly mean that she came here to look for me thinking I would come here straight but didn't see me?""Probably," Lyne answered. "But, you arrived so late at night so when did the girl see
