INTRODUCTION
Alessia Claw ~
I ran through the woods below the night sky with my heart beating so fast, its way from the danger chasing it. At a point, I was too weak to run any further so I leaned on a tree trunk to enable me catch my breath for a while.
I needed to.
It wasn’t up to twenty seconds of gasping for my breath when a hailstorm of flaming arrows accompanied by several howls came crashing down the ground.
I took refuge from the arrows behind the tree and watched as the flaming arrows rained down the sky and pierced their way into the ground. The lycans were the source of the arrows and I was the prime target.
They were gaining on me and I could feel it. I and my unborn child have to flee to a safe haven in these woods so they won’t get to us. So he won’t get to us. Taking a leap of faith after the hailstorm had ended, I continued my race in the darkness all around the woods.
I couldn’t let them get to
Chapter 1Frederick Claw ~“Claudius, you and your men would storm in through the Northern gates of the castle.”“Henry, get your men ready for the extraction as soon as Claudius and his men have broken in. The mission is to rescue the lycan queen, Alessia out of that castle and taken here safe and unharmed.” “I believe the royal family have had their fill of time in those filthy dungeons.”“Gregory, I hope you have those potions ready because we are going to need them in getting rid of the army of lycan packs that would be after us, the instant we get the queen off their hands.”“Sofia and Morgana, all you ladies have to do is to ensure the queen’s medical safety. As we all know, the queen is pregnant with the next –rightful- heir to the lycan throne. It is your duty to make sure that she remains in good health and has a safe and appropriate delivery if ever the situation comes into
Chapter 2Frederick Claw ~“Sofia, Morgana, get her inside.” I said stroking Alessia’s white hair. “Save her! Save my sister!” I added splitting two more arrows aimed at Alessia in half.“My Lord, we shall do all that we can.” “I promise you.” said Morgana taking Alessia from my blood stained hands and into hers mumbling some words as she made her way back into the coven.The coven gates went solid shut behind her. I looked all around and found all the troops to be in position. The archers were in formation and the swordsmen were all ready to protect our coven and the queen.Funny enough, the lycan queen was being protected by my vampire warriors. Odd, isn’t it?The lycans charged to the coven but with a single howl which I presumed to be some sort of signal, they all stopped in their tracks, still in their lycan appearances.“Let’s get straight to the point, your

Sofia Xanders ~“My lord, we shall do all that we can. I promise you.” I heard morgana say taking the queen Alessia, my best friend from the arms of the vampire king.Walking beside her, I could hear her do some magical enchantments as she brought the unconscious queen into the gates of the royal coven. Alessia was taken to the healing chambers underneath the coven.“Potens est, quaeso auxilium tuum. Dea dona nobis succurrat validus.” said Morgana as she placed Alessia in the cool spirit waters that for centuries acted as a means of divine healing for all those who implored it from the moon goddess.“We are losing her Morgana!” I said to Morgana as I placed my hands on Alessia’s temple.I could feel her weakness. She had been through a lot of pain. It was a miracle that in spite of all that, I could feel the unborn child growing perfectly without any complications.“Her only hope now is the god
Chapter 4Frederick Claw ~I watched as the dude who seemed to be the leader of the entire army of lycans placed his hand into a small parchment and brought out a diminutive bottle that appeared to contain a red-colored liquid.He brought the bottle in contact with his lips and in a single gulp, emptied the contents inside his mouth. He let out a loud and somehow dreadful roar afterwards.“Now the real battle begins!!!” said the leader fully transformed into a mutant lycan. “Get out of my way.”Mutant Lycans are very rare and most of all, very powerful. They possessed the powers of the average lycan but just in a thousand fold. I, as a vampyre haven’t seen up to five mutant lycans in my tens of thousands of days and every encounter with one was never pleasant except with the deceased lycan King, Leonard Wolfs.There was a common reason why the experiences stood never pleasant, the same reason why nature made the
Chapter 5Frederick Claw ~I screamed in excruciating pain as the enchanted arrows met my skin. The enchantment done on the arrows prevented me from healing all around that area. They were so stuck into me that merely touching them caused unimaginable pain.Still struggling in pains to get rid of those arrows, the supreme lycan came and pushed them further into my body and I was helpless to stop him.He pushed them so deep that only a key sized length remained on the outside. Then in a flash, he pulled two out of me. I yelled as blood flowed out of those particular points without any obstruction.“I will make you feel pain worse than you can ever imagine!” the supreme lycan said gripping my head with his gigantic palm.“… Are. You. Sure. About... That??” I said and to my surprise Sofia, my wife with the aid of a warlock used their powers to constrain and immobilize him on the air.“Freddy!!”

Chapter 7Sofia Xanders ~After I came out of the portal, I found myself lost. One thing was sure and that was the fact that I am in a land that I’ve never been to before. Everything was so strange-looking. I held the child in my arms walking aimlessly down the roads.“Hello! Excuse me? Are you lost?” a lady asked seeing Sofia and the young infant in her arms walking aimlessly about the city dressed awkwardly.“Ye… Yes… I … Am.” Sofia replied walking to meet the lady.“I guess you’re really new around here. Aren’t you? Just got off the plane right?” the lady alleged noticing the clothing put on by Sofia.“Where is ‘here’ exactly?” Sofia asked turning around to the world filled with technology all around her.“This is New York City, of course.” “You look confused and like you could need somewhere to lay your head.
