When I passed through the blinding light, the first thing that came into my sight was a huge tree at the periphery of a field that stretched miles away. The tree had no leaves, and its bark had blackened and rotten over the years. On the trunk just close to the ground, there was an opening just big enough for a person to fit in. I headed towards it hoping to find Charlotte inside it. I was about to enter when I heard some clapping behind me followed by some hysterical laughter from a male who seemed to be moving close to me."Welcome, Alpha Mason Helm." I could hear some mockery in his voice. I turned around wanting to see this person. My eyes landed on a tall and buff guy who was a bit taller than me. He had a dark complexion and looked quite pleased by my visit. He was wearing a cloak, which covered the rest of his body. "Do you recognize me?" He asked whilst stopping in front of me. I looked into my memory, checking to see if I had seen him somewhere or not. He was familiar but

CHARLOTTE'S POVI was very happy when I saw him in front of me. Even though I noticed him unable to move just like me a few hours ago, it touched me to see him here.I hurried to him and launched my body over to him not at all caring that the guy named Kevin was still there. I puffed a breath when I managed to touch him skin to skin. I had feared that I couldn't touch him just like what happened to me the moment when I just entered this place.The two conversed with each other and I didn't even bother to listen to what they were saying. All my attention was on the comfort that I was feeling after being away from him all this while. It felt like we were separated from each other for thousands of years.Suddenly, I felt Mason move and untied my hands before he started muttering some foreign language. He raised his hand high above as if he was yearning to touch the fluffy clouds in the sky that were accumulating by each whisper that came out of his mouth. The once cloudless blue sky was

"I found it!" Mason shouted with a strand of blank hair trapped in between his fingers. I scooted towards him and examined it. By the looks of it, it belonged to the kidnapper. Both my parents had brunette hair. Of which my father's was darker but not close to black. It was obvious that it didn't belong to them.We were lucky enough that this room was locked all this while. The reason being the repair of the broken glasses and the investigation that was being done by the police. I doubt if they even put in any effort. I was starting to feel relieved to have found a clue that would lead us to the kidnapper."What are we going to do with it?" I asked feeling confused. We couldn't probably take the hair sample to do some DNA test. After all, we didn't have too much time and also didn't even know who to suspect or if the hair belonged to him at all. The other thing is that we didn't know if the person planted it or not. "Don't worry we will think of something." He assured me and packed

We travelled for a day and a half. We were all using isolated routes so that no human could spot us. The paths we were on were very creepy and were hard to transverse. It was mostly forested with dense vegetation and a lonesome atmosphere. The only sound we could hear was the swishing sounds of the leaves our paws were stepping on. It continued on until we made it to a tarred road that led to the forbidden city. That's what Nelson called it. He told me that he had never set foot in it. He also said that humans were forbidden to come close to it either. Ace went on to explain that danger lurked in every corner of that horrid city.Vampires of all ages scavenged in the night looking for prey to sink their itchy fangs on, while drinking a delectable taste of blood, bringing ecstasy and ease to their lifeless veins. I once heard my colleagues saying that vampires had no hearts or the red kind of blood in their bodies. That's why they have cravings and tend to kill without mercy when they

Brian and Mason continued with the fierce fight. They continued to make a mess of everything. I moved away from them in order not to hurt myself and went to stand at one corner as I watched them engage in violence. Mason was kicked away to one corner. My heart ached as I took in his form. He struggled to get up when he saw Brian advancing toward him. I found my legs moving on their own accord as I went to shield him from danger. My eyes closed anticipating the itching and unbearable pain of his black pointy nails digging deep into my flesh. I waited a bit more. When I didn't feel any pain, I opened them with sudden curiosity, I wanted to know what had really happened. My heart dropped the moment I saw him in his human form, I don't even know when or how he had managed to get the clothes and changed into them so quickly. But what made me scared was the way he was clutching on his stomach so forcefully. The white shirt he had put on was drenched in blood. And Brian stood in front of hi
