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
The Predator CHAPTER 38
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
The Predator CHAPTER 40
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

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, “
The Predator CHAPTER 42
Shadows soldiers were in the basement trying to ensure that the equipment was ready for use tomorrow, knives were sharpened and laced with even more silver. Shadow and Louis were supervising when they heard a racous in the main hall. They rushed out to meet Gwendoline in a large cloak in the main hall, a heart dripping blood in her hand."What are you doing here?", Shadow asked in obvious displeasure, he did not like her guts. Someone who was able to betray her kind and her lover could not be trusted."I thought I was part of the group?", She smiled, "It's always such a pleasure to meet with you all"."I would say the same but seeing it's you, I would be lying through my teeth", Ursula sashayed in the room."Cecily, always the...""It's Ursula to you now", Ursula replied through clenched teeth."I prefer Cecily more..."Ursula raised her hand and a fireball floated, she proceeded to toss it at Cecily before Louis stepped in between them."Calm your horses' women, we cannot fight among

“If it’s not the famous prince Alessandro and his father”, Shadow said, he turned to Kieran, “Oh I see you brought along your mischievous second in command” Alessandro smirked, “I’m glad you know who I am. Trust me the stories you hear about me are true, only a lot worse. I wish I could say I knew who you were but I don’t, so who the fuck are you?!” “As far as introductions go I’d rather be remembered as the man who conquered Vampires and brought you to your knees before slowly putting an end to your cursed existence!”, Shadow replied with a manical smile on his face. Ursula smiled, “Too bad, you don’t have your little guards to help you. It seems our plan worked. While our men are scattered about killing your people, your guards are fighting back leaving you all defenceless”, she turned to the men behind with the drawn arrows, “You seem to be greatly outnumbered”. “Well, there was a flaw to the big plan. Give me some credit will you?", Malcolm growled, “I’m an alpha vampire king.
The Predator CHAPTER 44
Alessandro and Kieran searched through the castle, every inch of it. Alessandro had thought it was dumb to search for Gwendoline in the palace. It was Kieran's idea but when he found her in her chambers stuffing clothes and jewels in a bag, to say he was surprised was an understatement."I knew you'd be dumb enough to remain in the castle after what you have done and you sure didn't disappoint me", Kieran chuckled unamusingly.For the first time in her long life, Gwendoline lost her usual cheeky smile and stood frozen on the spot as Alessandro approached her with a menacing look on his face, "You shouldn't have done what you did Gwendoline. You shouldn't have touched a hair on her head let alone attempt her life".He grabbed her arm, "You have not only wronged me and Isabella. You have wronged the whole of Isle and betrayed your people. I don't think there's anything more despicable than that".He grabbed her neck and lifted her till she was above the ground."Alessandro please do not
