MasukWillow must find a way to break her father's curse to prevent him from dying, and in pursuit of it, she accidentally gets lost in a hidden vampire kingdom where humans are supposedly a myth. She must find her way back home without being killed. Fortunately, the vampire prince is aware of human existence, and is willing to help her, although his benevolence isn't free of ulterior motives. When she is sent back to the human world, he follows her. He soon finds her and makes her an offer that would resolve all her troubles. Knowing how desperate she is to save her father, she would say yes, but what does he want in return?
Lihat lebih banyakMi vida se puede resumir en tres cosas: sobrevivir con poco dinero, tomar malas decisiones para intentar arreglarlo y criar a un niño de cuatro años que vino a este mundo con la misión de acabar con mi cordura.
Si existiera un manual para madres solteras que son un desastre, yo sería la autora, el libro seguro estaría manchado de café y con las esquinas mordidas por un niño que jura ser un tiranosaurio Rex.
—Leo, baja de ahí —dije, intentando sonar autoritaria.
—No —respondió, muy decidido.
Respiré profundo, cuando iba en dos ya perdía la paciencia.
—Si te caes, no te recojo, te lo advierto.
Él me sostuvo la mirada como si me evaluara.
—No me voy a caer, soy fuerte —dijo, alzando un brazo y cerrando el puño.
Mi hijo medía poco más de un metro, llevaba su camiseta de dinosaurios y estaba trepado sobre una escultura que costaba más de lo que yo ganaría en diez años.
—Baja ahora mismo, despacio —caminé hacia él con cuidado.
—Mira, mami —dijo, ignorándome.
De pronto saltó.
—¡LEO! —grité, mi corazón se detuvo un microsegundo.
Cayó con las rodillas flexionadas, sin un rasguño, eso me indicó que no era la primera vez que lo hacía.
—¿Viste? No me pasó nada —sonrió, orgulloso.
—A mí sí —respondí, llevándome la mano al pecho— me acabas de quitar diez años de vida.
Lo tomé del brazo y lo jalé hacia mí.
—Leo, esto no es un parque, las cosas que están aquí no se tocan, no se trepan y no se usan de trampolín.
—Pero está aburrido, no hay nada.
—Hay arte.
—El arte es aburrido.
—El arte paga los nuggets que te gustan comer.
Sus ojos se iluminaron.
—¿Con papas?
—Sí, con papas, pero si rompes algo, comemos aire.
—No me gusta el aire.
—A mí tampoco, por eso coopera.
Se quedó pensando un momento.
—Mami…
—¿Qué?
—¿Yo tengo papá? —Palidecí.
Sabía que esa pregunta llegaría, pero no creí que tan pronto, nunca sería un buen momento.
—Claro que tienes —respondí, acomodándole la camiseta— todo el mundo tiene.
—¿Y dónde está? Mi amiguito del parque siempre juega con el suyo.
—Trabajando —dije— muy lejos.
—¿Más lejos que la tienda de nuggets?
—Mucho más lejos, mi amor.
Se quedó en silencio.
—Ah —murmuró— cuando venga le voy a enseñar a saltar como yo.
Sentí algo raro en el pecho.
—Primero aprende a no romper cosas —le di un golpecito suave en la frente—. luego vemos.
Asintió muy serio tres segundos después intentó tocar un cuadro con la punta del dedo.
—¡Leo!
—Solo estoy viendo.
—Se ve con los ojos, no con las manos.
—Pero mis manos también quieren ver.
Cerré los ojos un segundo, respira, Sienna, respira.
En ese momento, escuché que alguien se acercaba.
—¡Sienna!
Giré la cabeza y vi a Maya caminando hacia mí.
—¡Tenemos un problema!
Genial, justo lo que necesitaba.
—Dime que no se rompió nada —le dije antes de que hablara.
—No, es algo peor, el nuevo dueño viene hoy, está en camino, llega en cualquier momento.
Miré a Leo, que intentaba abrir una puerta que no debía abrir.
—Hoy no —murmuré.
—Hoy sí, tienes que sacar a Leo de aquí ahora, nuestro nuevo jefe es muy exigente.
—¿A dónde lo llevo? La niñera tiene permiso toda la semana.
—Entonces escóndelo.
—Maya...
—Solo serán unos minutos.
No tenía una idea mejor.
—Leo —lo llamé— vamos a jugar a las escondidas, pero tienes que quedarte completamente en silencio, si haces ruido, pierdes.
—No voy a perder —dijo muy serio.
Lo llevé al fondo de la galería, donde había un pequeño cuarto de almacenamiento, y abrí la puerta.
—Te quedas aquí y no sales hasta que yo venga. ¿Entendido?
—¿Cinco minutos?
—Sí —mentí.
—¿Lo prometes?
—Lo prometo.
—Voy a ganar —dijo, y se le iluminó el rostro.
—Claro que sí —le di un beso en la frente— eres el mejor escondiéndote.
—Como un ninja.
—Exacto.
Lo metí dentro y cerré la puerta, me quedé un instante parada frente a ella. Esto definitivamente iba a salir mal.
—Sienna —dijo Maya— ya llegó.
Tragué saliva, me acomodé la ropa, me pasé una mano por el cabello y caminé hacia la sala principal.
La puerta se abrió lentamente, primero vi unos zapatos perfectamente lustrados, luego un traje oscuro hecho a la medida que se ajustaba perfectamente a unos hombros anchos.
Alcé la vista hasta su rostro, y en ese momento sentí que el suelo se inclinaba.
Frente a mí estaba Aidan Volkov.
Once the dust settled and the smoke vanished, Wes and Willow saw that all the vampires in the vicinity had been turned into humans. People were rejoicing as their hunger and bloodlust dissipated. They hugged each other and shared tears and smiles."I didn't mean to hurt that boy I swear," Willow heard a woman say, "I don't know what came over me."The newly turned humans were sharing stories about the horrors they had done while being consumed by bloodlust.Wes saw Luke reuniting with his family and went to talk to them, while Willow found Ava and Rus standing on the right side of the platform. Two of the priest's apprentices were carrying the body of the late king to burn on the pyre they had created in the open field where the tent was.Ava had a bright smile as she felt the sunlight on her face."You look happy," Willow remarked."I am no longer a queen. I'm finally free to do whatever I want. Of course, I'm happy. I can travel now. Live
In the city square, the witches and mages had joined hands, formed a circle, and began chanting. The humans and vampires of Hieroland protected the circle from the vampires of Vilaria. The chanting got louder with each passing second. There was a vibration in the air. One the feel the power radiating from the circle. The wind picked up and the earth started shaking.Behind the circle, the priest and Aurum engaged in a ferocious battle. Their energies clashed and it shook the ground. Everyone became a little unsteady, but the witches and mages did not let go of their hands and continued chanting.The priest stood on the platform looking down at Aurum who had fallen to the ground."Why shall I suffer at your hands?" Aurum cried, sweating profusely. He looked at Hieron. "You destroyed my life once. Wasn't that enough?""A mistake on my part," the priest calmly replied. "You did plenty wrong before you came to accompany the tribe, as I seem to remember. I am
Gemma cried when a vampire bit her wrist, though she quickly took out a knife and managed to pierce the heart of her attacker. The vampire's eyes were as wide as saucers. She struggled to grab onto Gemma but eventually fell to the ground. Gemma put pressure on the puncture wound before tying a handkerchief around it. She looked around to see one-third of the humans lying dead. A wave of anger washed over her. She was about to go on a killing spree, but Kairav stopped her by placing his hand on her shoulder. "We must stick to the plan," he said. Her nostrils flared, but she nodded. The humans and people from Hieroland created a barrier between Aurum and the vampires of Vilaria. On the other end of the barrier, Willow falls unconscious. The woman who hit her raised the baseball bat to smash her skull, but before she could do that, Wes tackled her to the ground. "How dare you!" He spoke, enraged and murderous, as he punched her face.
The executioner fell to the ground, bloodying it. Everyone in the crowd turned their heads and gazed upon the perpetrator. Slade stood there with an unapologetic smug expression. Aurum smirked as he looked at Wes. "How heroic of you to come here and try to save your father." Everyone gasped again as they realized who it was that stood amongst them. Aurum didn't wait for a reply. "You have made my work easy by walking here and saved me the time to hunt you down." "And why would you hunt me down?" Wes asked. "What is my crime?" "You," Aurum's jaw ticked, "are the son of a traitor." "Is that a crime? I didn't ask to be his son." Wes looked into the crowd to see some of the heads nodding in agreement. "Yeah!" someone shouted. "He is nothing like his father." "He is the complete opposite!" Aurum's face swelled with anger. "Silence! I am the ruler of this king
