Chapter 26: Winter Break
Becca was upset with Vanessa because they were like best friends, yet Vanessa didn’t feel the need, to tell her the truth; even after she learned Alexander’s truth.
“Becca…” Vanessa walked towards Becca, who stopped her from approaching any further with a hand. “I am Vanessa Insworthe, not Nessa Worthe, and if you listen to me fully, you will understand it all. Please don’t misunderstand me,” she told Becca, who stood frozen in her position.
“Becca, I didn’t mention it before because I didn’t want to expose her until she said so, and now, she was ready to reveal her truth to you until you heard us,” Alexander said, his eyes fully focused on hers. “She is my twin, and she stayed in the human world after we finished o
Chapter 27: Vampires FightPhil looked at a beautiful thrush on a tree—it was the only bird that didn’t run away because it couldn’t feel the danger he presented.Chuckling, Phil jumped on the branch of the tree and grabbed the thrush. His eyes turned black as he mumbled, “Bring Becca Hertford to this jungle, will you?”The thrush squeaked, not wanting to obey his commands, but it had no control over itself as it started flying towards Hertford Manor. After all, Phil had one of the most dangerous special powers, which was the ability to turn animals into his willing subjects. Tasked to do his bidding at any cost.He waited for the thrush to accomplish its task and texted his siblings, letting them know about his arrival.
Chapter 28: Poisonous Blood“I can't believe you all came after the vampire potion, fully aware that only Phil is capable of being the king,” Pristine spat out at the vampires that were surrounding them from all directions, their eyes glowing golden with the thirst for Becca’s blood which possessed the vampire potion.“Still, who can resist the temptation of being the king?” said a vampire named Caleb, who seemed to be the mastermind behind this insurrection.“You all do know that you will be severely punished once you are in the vampire world, right?” Alexander said, standing in front of Becca's unconscious body, not forgetting his promise of protecting her.“Not if one of us becomes the king,” Caleb said and lunged towards Phil. Right th
Chapter 29: An Order“For starters, I am here for the vampire potion, not to satisfy my sexual desires,” Alexander clarified to Becca, who still didn’t seem to believe his words.“Then why would I be lying unconscious here in the middle of a jungle at night?” she pointed out.“Someone explain to this fucking lady that I have no ill intentions towards her,” he grumbled in annoyance, running a hand through his hair.“Alex didn’t do anything, Becca,” Vanessa stated after enjoying the drama when Alexander was accused by Becca.“See?” Alexander said to Becca.Becca didn’t say anything as soon as her eyes fell on the man with
Chapter 30: The Vampire WorldOnce the door was closed, the lights of the dark room illuminated, making Becca heave a sigh in relief after seeing the familiar face.“Lucas, you could’ve just told me to follow you,” Becca told Lucas, who approached her after closing the door. “Also, what’s with that ‘Don’t speak’ threat? How could I speak when you had placed your hand over my mouth?”“I am sorry for bringing you here in this way, Becca,” Lucas said and sat on one of the benches of the classroom he brought her into. “You should take a seat too.”“What are you doing here?” she asked, taking a seat on the bench in front of him and turned her back to face him. “Didn’t you go home for winter break?
Chapter 31: Sleepless NightBecca was awestruck after seeing the vampire world. It was fully dark, just like Alexander told her. However, there were small lights everywhere to illuminate the area, and the shiny stars in the sky made everything look even more beautiful.“Wow,” she breathed, wanting to free Alexander’s grip from her hand and roam around, but he tightened his grip.“We have to reach the Insworthe manor first,” he instructed, which made her frown. Seeing that, he offered, “How about we walk to our destination so that you can have a mini-tour of the vampire world?”“Perfect,” she agreed, grinning widely.Vanessa cleared her throat, letting her presence be known. “Let&rsq
Chapter 32: Kiss For Potion?Becca wore a red blouse with black skinny jeans: she has been wearing long sleeves ever since she got her sunburns—she wanted to hide those marks. She was afraid of letting Alexander know about it, or even Vanessa.Why do I feel this way with Alexander? she wondered. Lucas was also her good friend, but she never got such feelings for him as the ones she felt for Alexander. The emotions she had for Alexander were more of a romantic nature, instead of friendship. She deemed this as friendship plenty of times, but his teasing, her blushing—these weren’t friendly at all, rather it was a sign of affection.She never understood what it felt like to fall for someone, but she believed that she would be madly in love one day. She walked out of the
Chapter 33: Sabotaging JealousyThe assembly hall, where the vampires used to hold their opulent balls, was packed with Phil’s trustworthy followers and his closest rivals. It was decorated beautifully on the occasion of Phil getting the throne of the king tonight.Meanwhile, Becca was dressed in a beautiful long-sleeved purple gown with the help of Vanessa and Pristine. Even though she didn’t fancy the idea of kissing Phil, she had to do what she had to. She couldn’t back out from her words now. Yet, the thought of anyone but Alexander’s lips on hers made her skin crawl in disgust.Becca was pacing in her designated room back and forth when there was a soft knock on the door. “Come in,” she hollered, and Alexander entered her room.Alexander didn’t l
Chapter 34: Decisions“I tried to kiss Becca, but it didn’t work,” Phil announced, standing in front of Becca, Alexander, and Vanessa.They were in the living room, away from the ballroom and other vampires.Phil noticed that Alexander and Becca were holding hands but didn’t say anything.“So, what do you want to do now?” Vanessa asked Phil in annoyance. “Will you make out with her or fuck her to get the potion?” She was pissed off at Phil’s insatiable thirst for power.Becca tightened her grip on Alexander’s hand in fear while he gave a light squeeze in return, assuring her that he wouldn’t let that happen.“I mi—” Phi
