The Predator CHAPTER 34
She spent the rest of the day tucked in the room, Alessandro had been away for a few days and if she guessed correctly he was out hunting down her brother. She didn’t have it in her to have any more interactions, after she had relayed the message to the King, Sam had brought her meals to her room and she had stayed tucked in.If Cecily’s plans worked tomorrow would be a turning point in her life. She was finally going to get to her brother and earn her freedom. However, if she was honest with herself she didn’t want freedom. Not if it included being far away from Alessandro. She never wanted Isles. It had become a great part of her. She needed to do this for her sanity. She was losing it and it concerned Alessandro. She was not sure what exactly his feelings for her were, not too long ago he was after her life. It was hard to tell what he felt now. She was only his pet. She would never be able to watch Alessandro be with someone else, she had to go far away maybe to put an end to wh
The Predator CHAPTER 35
Thoughts of last night flooded her mind for the umpteenth time that day and she knew her cheeks were already crimson. It was uncontrollable, Alessandro was all she could think of. She picked up the coffee mug and tried to hide her cheeks however Marie caught in before she could. “Isabella you care to share what’s making you so happy this morning?, I'll genuinely like to share in your joy”. Cecily stole a glance at her. “Marie", Isabella whined, "Not again, not this morning" “Seriously Bella. You have been so giddy all morning. You can’t be sitting there and blushing for nothing", Marie replied. Isabella tucked her hair behind her ear, “It’s nothing, Marie”. Marie paused for a while and looked at her, “Oh you and Alessandro did something for sure". Isabella spat the coffee back into the cup, Marie laughed mischievously, “Oh I knew it. It's quite easy to tell, it's written all over you and you're blushing real hard ". “Marie not now please", Isabella said embarrassed. She hadn’t w

Cecily smiled broadly, “You sure didn’t see this coming. Disguises is one of my greatest Forte among many other things of course". “For the love of everything you hold dear to you, what’s going on here? Why are you even...what the hell is going on", Isabella asked still startled. For some reason, she felt this was one of those moments where she would be thrown into another harsh reality. She was not far from the truth. Cecily smiled brightly and cooed in a high-pitched voice, “Do I not like a good story time”. “Cecily...what’s your name?. Is your name even Cecily?”. “I’m Ursula”, she walked towards the other end of the room and halted when she was not too far from Isabella, “I always hated Cecily, it made me feel weak. Ursula is just the exact opposite” She spun around and faced Isabella, "Ursula is who I am" “This was all part of a great master plan. I get you here, we execute the first phase of our plan but it proved hard to do. They questioned my abilities to deliver. The firs

He left the study and went to his father’s chambers. He tapped lightly on the door and pushed it open, “Father?” Malcolm gave him a once over, “I thought you had abandoned your duties to your people or have you finally come to your senses? " “My loyalties are forever with my people”, Alessandro answered. “You abandoned them for days, you have not made any appearances, missed council meetings and shunned out everyone but you say your loyalty is with your people. That’s hard to believe", the king said in a low voice. “I came here to talk about my plans, not about my failures as king or as a son", Alessandro snapped in anger, “I believe you know more than any other person about a king’s failures!” Malcolm rose in anger, “You’ll not challenge me because of a worthless human! You would never understand what it is to lose your mate” “I want to seek the help of the witches' clan”, Alessandro blurted out, “I need their help tracking her whereabouts” The king chuckled, “This is what I’m

Louis nodded and stood to his feet, “Just as earlier planned, all weapons are ready. We will take on Isles first as it is the forte of the vampire kingdoms. This action will paralyse all the other vampire kings leaving them vulnerable to the attack... “Do you not find the food to your liking Isabella?”, Ursula's voice drowned at Louis'. “It is a far cry from Marie’s cooking". Ursula smiled, “Get used to things here. From all indications, you’ll be here for a long time... With a flick of her fingers, Isabella’s plate moved closer to her, the cutlery levitating before her. “Eat your food, Isabella!”. Isabella reluctantly picked it up. She ate quietly staring at the faces of everyone around, most of them took notes. How could they not see that this would be the end of them, she thought? “...if we take them unawares, they would not know what hit them", Louis finished. “So you suggest an ambush?”, one of the men asked. Louis nodded, “Yes" “Vampires are subtle creatures, how are we
The Predator CHAPTER 39
Gwendoline had picked out a favourite dress, she was on a mission. It was a red lace see-through dress, her assets were laid bare for all to see. Nudity was not a problem for vampires. However no one dared to look at her, it was known to all and sundry that she belonged to Alessandro. All the palace guards and maids scurried passed her and bowed their heads in a bid to avoid making eye contact with her. She sauntered off purposely in a lovely gait. Her long blonde hair draped across her shoulders in sultry waves.When she got to Alessandro's door it was shut tight, however, it was no match for her vampire strength, she pushed it open forcefully and walked in to see Alessandro in a far corner, his head hung in despair, his skin a pale shade."Gwendoline", he drawled out."Alessandro""Didn't you hear that I asked to be left alone?", He questioned."I did but that does not apply to me. Maybe to Kieran and the other palace guards, not me", she answered, "I worry about you Alessandro and I

Alessandro pushed open Malcolm’s chamber doors, “Father" “Alessandro, I see you decided to snap out of your sadness and stopped sulking to address the matters at hand", Malcolm berated. “Father I’m not here to talk about me or you or my duties...” “Then why have you come?” “To talk about mother”. Kieran and Malcolm stilled, Alessandro had never spoken about Queen Penelope after her death, no one knew what happened. He had just gotten back with her dress and jewellery and announced she was dead. He had left everyone speculating as to what had killed her. At first, they all probed him to tell them what had happened but he had shut the memory not willing to divulge what he had seen. “I watched her die unable to do anything to save her", Alessandro said in a quiet voice. He stared at Malcolm, “I think you should know that your dark-haired empress wasn’t subdued. Like cowards that they were they had poisoned her...” Malcolm visibly flinched like he was reliving the whole moment agai
The Predator CHAPTER 41
Alessandro sat in the darkened room of his study, every candle had been blown out. He sat facing the wall, he had been in that position for days now. His skin was paler than usual he hadn’t fed for a while. Despite the collaborative efforts of all the guards to find Isabella, there was no lead on her whereabouts. He missed her it almost tore him apart, he had lost his touch with reality. He heard the door to the study open, no one had dared come to him in a while for fear of what he would do. He had almost killed a few servants and they had taken the initiative to steer clear from him. He wondered who would dare to come in, he couldn’t make out the scent of the person cause his senses were mulled. However, he couldn’t hear a heartbeat so he knew it was a vampire. “Alessandro?”, he heard his father call. He ignored him, his father pulled a chair and put it in front of Alessandro and sat across from him. “I want to talk to you, Alessandro” “About what?”, Alessandro turned to him, “
