5. Dark

~Samuel's POV~

I may be a nightwalker, but I don't lure my prey into my trap from the shadows. I attack from the front, not from the shadows.

I don't know how Louis was so confident about that bitch coming to us on her own, but one thing I am sure about, I will make her scream for mercy till her throat gives up and her family dies at least ten times a day in a year.

It's been thirty minutes since I was waiting a mile away from the Dark Moon pack with my three men but there was no sign of her. Whoever will guide her to us, they better do it early because now I was losing patience.

Soon, I saw a girl dressed in a black dress running in my direction, and I smirked. The same honey skin with honey blonde hair and tall height... My time with this girl is going to be way more fun than I expected.

I heard some footsteps approaching her while she ran fast and I quickly took the handkerchief out of my pocket. Nodding to my men real quick, I approached the girl in a second and took her away from the eyes that were following her. I covered the handkerchief on her nose and soon she drifted into darkness. Quickly throwing her over my shoulder, I disappeared into thin air.

I smirked, they will never find her. At least not alive...

~Aliyah's POV~

Uh... Oh god.... What's wrong with me? Why my head was spinning?

Goddess... My whole body was aching. It feels like someone threw me across the room.

I slowly opened my eyes but to my surprise, everything was dark around me. I tried to sit and... Wait, why does it feel like ground instead of a bed?

My eyes shot open and I gazed everywhere around me. This room... There was nothing but darkness! It was so dark that I couldn't even see my hands and legs! I was not at my place. I can't see it but I can feel it! It's not my place!

Fuck... Where the heck am I? Why... Why was it so dark?

"Mom! Dad!"

"Damien! Carter! I swear if this is any prank then I am gonna kick your asses! Switch on the lights!"

I yelled and mindlinked my family again and again but there was no response.

No... My family doesn't play with me like this... They know I can't handle darkness. I don't even sleep in a room with lights turned off!

"Mom? Dad? Uncle Liam? Damien!"

Why the heck no one was responding? Wait... My mind link...

I focused on my mindlink with my family and pack and my eyes widened. My connection with my family is severed. I can't reach them... I can't even feel them!

My breath started becoming heavy and tears started to fall out of my eyes. I don't know where I am. I can't see anything, nor can I bring myself to move from my place. It feels like I am glued to the place where I am standing.

"Li... Lizzy...?"

I called my wolf but again, I was greeted with silence. No... She was supposed to be with me. She was inside me... Why can't I feel her?

"Lizzy? Lizzy talk to me!"

"She won't... She is in a long sleep..." Ellen said.

I was never happy to hear her voice until today.

"Do you know what happened?" I asked Ellen.

"No and calm down. You are giving me a headache."

Headache? My heart has started to burn with such blackness around me!

"You know... I... I can't..." I hiccuped and held my chest tight.

"I know you are claustrophobic and all but if you want to get out of this situation, you need to calm your ass down," Ellen hissed.

I know, I know, but what I don't know is how the fuck did I end up in a room like this! I was... I was in the Dark Moon pack attending a party. Then how did I end up here? And what happened to Lizzy?

The room was so dark that I couldn't see anything. The only thing I could hear around me was my own racing heartbeats and heavy breaths. My cheeks and neck were wet with tears and I felt like I would pass out any moment.

"Give control to me. I will find a way out..." Ellen said.

'I will find my way...'

I heard that before... Ellen said the same thing at the party.

The flashback of last night started to appear in my head, and I was thinking about when she said that when suddenly I saw some light coming to my left, and I ran for my life.

It was a door that was ajar but I was thankful for it. I quickly opened the door and started running in the hallway in front of me. I ran for a few seconds and then my legs froze and eyes widened.

Though I could see everything around me, still everything was so creepy. All the walls were black around me and there were large curtains of black and red color at the end of the hallway. There were lamps with dim yellow light in them and... Portraits of some people sucking blood from women's necks were hanging on the wall.

I gulped. Why... Why does it feel like I was in hell?

"And Why do I feel like I am in heaven? Because this place looks like it belongs to some vampire," Ellen happily said.

No... It can't be... Vampire? Again?

"It looks like the beauty is awake from her sleep..."

A deep manly voice reached my ears. His harsh yet deep voice sent shivers down my spine and I tightly clutched my dress from the sides.

I took a deep breath and slowly turned around only to find a man looking at me with blood-red eyes and a vicious smirk on his face. My breath stuck in my throat as my eyes met his eyes and I inhaled sharply. This can't be true...

"This is freaking true! This is awesome! Ha! You wanted to get rid of me now you won't. You got a vampire mate!" Ellen loudly laughed in my head.

No, no, no, no... This can't be possible... A vampire mate?

He slowly walked towards me and even though I wanted to run, I found myself waiting for him to reach me.

His every step toward me made my heart beat at a faster pace, and I bit my lower lip; I don't want to say this, but... He looked handsome. His cleanly shaved face with a pointy chin and plumped lips looked... Oh goddess, what the heck was wrong with me? I shouldn't be thinking such things right now!

He was only a few inches away from me when someone grabbed my neck from behind and licked my earlobe which made me scream, "No!"

"You should have said this to your brother..." The person behind me whispered in my ear.

I looked at my mate for help, but he smirked at me and clicked his tongue, "You enjoyed seeing our people dying; now, we will enjoy making the princess of Knight's suffer..."
