CHAPTER 9.2 ShelterWHEN the clock pointed at three o’clock in the afternoon, both Lucas and Jonas knew that it’s time to go. They still have to find shelter and as much as possible, it would be great if it’s somewhere near Selene’s home. Only that, they don’t know where exactly does she live with her adoptive mother—and yes, Lucas confirmed that Helen was no threat after watching her take care of the lost princess. It was as if Selene was her own so... he gotta respect her for that.“Aalis na po kami,” paalam ni Jonas kina Selene at Aling Helen nang maisukbit ang bag dala nila. “Maghahanap pa po kami ni Lucas ng matutuluyan.”Sumunod si Lucas sa ginawa ni Jonas. Tumayo siya mula sa pagkakaupo sa tabi ni Selene para mamaalam na rin sa mag-ina. Lucas also plans to discuss the connection between Aling Helen and Selene, as well as her involvement with

CHAPTER 9.4 Blood Moon JUST as Lucas expected, they found a device beneath the flooring of the house which could possibly exterminate vampires if it was triggered. Of course, Lucas and Jonas can’t trigger the device as it needed a control and it’s most probably that the remote would be in Princess Selene and Aling Helen’s house. But that’s alright, they could destroy the devices before something unpleasant occurs.“Ang ibig mong sabihin Prinsipe Lucas, alam ni Aling Helen na mga bampira tayo at nagsususpetya talaga siyang may balak tayo kay Selene?” napapantastikuhang pag-uusisa ni Jonas.Humimig siya bago naglatag ng mahika para masira ang device na nasa harapan nila. It’s a modern device that produces toxins that only affects vampires. The main ingredient were the pollens of a Primarosa plant—a gorgeous rose-like flower but bigger than an ordinary r

CHAPTER 10.1 Her Truth BUONG buhay ni Selene, ang buong akala niya e ordinaryong tao lamang siya. Pinalaki sa maayos na pamilya bagamat ina lamang niya ang kasama niya at ang tumaguyod sa kanya buong buhay niya. Although, there were these weird and inexplicable events that she considers her episodes, Selene genuinely thought that she must have been crazy—that she might actually have some mental problems. Pero iyon lamang ang akala niya hanggang sa mangyari ang kagabi.Last night’s events were traumatizing especially that she remembers every single thing that occurred last night clearly. Kung paano siyang iginapos ng ina nang magsabi siyang nanghihina siya’t iba ang nararamdaman. Kung paanong nanakit ang lalamunan niya, sumikip—tila ba nauuhaw pero hindi niya alam kung anong makakapagpakalma sa kanya. She was even more terrified when she realized that she was acting strange once the moon rose to illum

CHAPTER 10.3 AmbushedHEAD empty, mind has fallen in an abysmal chasm of emptiness; Selene couldn’t process the revelation which Lucas unveiled in regards to his real identity. To discover that she’s a vampire and not an ordinary human like what she believed is one thing, but the fact that the person who sat in front of her—the man whose aura screamed prestige and authority from the very start, the man who saved her from her classmate whom she cannot remember the face anymore was none other than Lucas Sutcliffe himself, the Crown Prince of Vintress Kingdom.Indeed, she had heard of his departure last month to accomplish an expedition, but no one really knew what it was about and the media declared—based on King Alexander’s words, too—that his son, Prince Lucas, had to depart to prove himself as a rightful heir of Vintress Kingdom.She also heard that many disapproved of hi

CHAPTER 10.5Awakening and BerserkingHOW could fear turn into complete madness in one split second? Weakness driven by adrenaline rush turned into strength but every color that painted her surroundings turned crimson and black—everything became dull and dark. Even her sight seemed to be shrouded by something inexplicable and her breathing ragged, it was difficult.Her horror turned into wrath and her heart eradicated empathy, replacing it with something else... something she cannot put a finger onto.She shouldn’t even be like this! But after the explosion that came from her mother’s bomb, which almost choked her as well, Selene’s senses have gone wild. Especially when she saw Lucas outside, struggling and pierced by something, bathing in his own blood. More so, when she saw her mother being killed in front of her!The image of this mysterious woman
