I swore to her after she gave me my bundle of joy, Elena that we will remain as closely knitted as a thief always and forever and rule the supernatural community side by side till our daughter was old enough to take over.Now I have failed not only Kate but Elena as well. I'm a disappointment.***♥Elena's POV♥The worst has happened and befallen the Marshalls. The last thing I need at the moment is a bunch of hypocritical sympathizers showing up at my chamber and making a fool out of themselves.Most people prayed and wished for this day. The day the murky mist would cast its silhouette on the dwellers of the quarter. People who want to take over power from us and can't wait to impound our dynasty.I sat in front of my dressing mirror watching my sorry state and trying to wrap my head around how it all happened. One moment I was combatting so hard to save Kate and the next instant she was gone right in front of me-- she fucking died in my

I staggered out of the bayou and broke out on a full sprint, running till everything I passed by was a blur and till I became invincible. I had no idea where I was heading to, it felt like my brain stopped working for some seconds and my Legs did the thinking and action. The quarter was the last place I wanted to visit, I didn't want to watch Cedric sulking alone in the tower like a kid.So I ran past the bayou, ran past the cemetery, ran past the quarter, and eventually my legs paved the way at the church. I wasn't a believer of God, after all, I'm a vampire who can provide for 99.9% of my needs without asking a divine being for help.I'm also a tribrid who can't die, so what could I possibly ask the lord for? Long-life? Prosperity? Or the blood of his creatures to feed on?My legs buckled right in front of the St Louis catholic church where father Kinley hosted several programmes for the human faction, as well as had several meetings with the other supernaturals. Wi

"Nope! The Cemetery is as dull as a graveyard." Cedric rolled his eyes and plopped on a sofa."Isn't the cemetery a graveyard? Sorry if I'm missing something here?" I rolled my eyes and snickered."We are on the hunt for Lucindo, we have had enough of his manipulative acts and we want him out for good." Suzy entered the chamber holding candles and maps."Oh!" I cocked a brow. "Okay, that sounds interesting but how do we intend to achieve that because all I can see here is the need for revenge.""If you want to opt-out, you know where the door is, so how about you let me concentrate in peace?" Suzy's mouth quirked in humor."I should gauge out your eyes for taunting her, but my fingers ache to gauge someone else's eyes instead." Cedric beckoned on a human maid passing.Suzy sighed heavily before spreading the map on a wooden table, lighting four candles she placed to represent the eastern, northern, western, and southern parts of LA.Cedric stood up

Elena's POV"I have been expecting you, as a matter of fact, I'm surprised it took you this long to find me." Lucindo's voice boomed in the air yet he was nowhere to be seen."Yeah, I was busy burying my dead wife, Kate. The one you killed, you should be familiar with her." Cedric scoffed and balled his hands into fists. I could tell his patience was running thin."OMG!" The voice gasped and scoffed. "My condolence for your daughter.""Thanks but my daughter is very much alive and if you try to be unfortunate you will be treated as one." Cedric glanced around the field.There were no traces of plants anymore. Just huge flamboyant tents with no trace of light in them. I began to wonder who his neighbors were. Some fellow resurrected witches? How dangerous could this place be?!The tents opened one after the other and werewolves came out with stakes in their hands, they snarled at us with ferocious-looking eyes and circled us like a predator will scare it

♥Elena's POV♥The wolves came to invade our little party in the bayou, while my instinct made me worry, seeing the relaxed look on Cedric's face made me feel like we have got this under control."Surprise! I love this." Lucindo cried in a sing-song tone.Suzy and I shared a glance with Hilda and Cedric and we all came together to form a fighting stance."I thought I sent you on your merry way? What are you doing here?" Cedric fired at the woman."Does vervain ring a bell to you? I can't be compelled because I consume that so how about you tell us why you turned our territory to a war zone?" She cocked a brow."This mad man here lives in your district and he means harm to all and sundry so we came here to execute him." I pointed at Lucindo who was still gasping for air like a fish on dry land, only this time around, his eyes were mischievous and his lips quirked in amusement."The number one rule of the wolves states that other species aren't allowed in here and
