"Elijah, we are going home," Scarlet announced when she got into the dining room where everyone was getting breakfast."What? You can't just leave us like this!" Nikki yelled.Scarlet smirked at her.Horatio came up behind his mate, noticing the look on his sister's face.He let out a sigh. "I told you not to say it like that.""What? But it was fun. You should have seen her face."Nikki looked back and forth at the two. "Wait, you two have bonded.""Yes." Scarlet grinned, then rolled up her sleeve to show off the mark that had appeared on her forearm somewhere during the night.Nikki leaned forward to look at it, noticing that it looked like a wolf howling at the moon."It looks so nice, Luna." Nikki smiled at her.Scarlet returned her smile. She wasn't sure how she would have reacted after finding out."Ok, I need Elijah, Miley, and Kera to come with me. We are going to the place where Elijah and I were born.""Can I come? I've always wanted to see that place. I've heard a lot about

"Relax, child, it is just a sign we used to keep intruders out. That's why we don't get many robberies, plus no one would dare to go against us." May smiled at Nikki, who was eyeing the large realistic drawing on the entrance of the cave. "Another question. I heard them saying that vampires live here as well. Is that true?" Nikki asked, still not recovering from her shock. "That is right. We do have vampires living here." May turned to Nikki with a dark look. "You best be careful with what you or anyone else say next because I don't take things lightly when it comes on to my family or anyone living in this village. And just know that just as how you have wolves who have gone rogue and are different from you, it's the same for witches and vampires." Nikki nodded and gulped, because the vibes she was getting from the older woman made it feel as if her soul was ready to run out of her body. "This is as far as the others can go, so if Scarlet doesn't want you to come stay here and don

"I still can't believe Lizzy was actually someone else. I don't know how it went by me,'' Elijah said. Scarlet turned her back on him because she wasn't up to talking about someone like that. "She pretended to be my brother's mate. I think that is just as bad," Nikki put in. "Yeah, I don't think anyone's experience with her is worse than the other. She played with everyone's mind either way, so let's not make this a competition, Nikki," Kera said while walking past her to enter the car. Nikki grumbled something under her breath before heading to the other car, where she sat in the back with her arm folded over her chest. As Scarlet sat in the front seat, waiting for Horatio to finish speaking with Vincent, her mind reeled and went back to a time that seemed so long ago. FLASHBACKScarlet's mind drift to what she thought were the good old days. I feel cold, so cold. I tried to move but can't. Where am I? I closed my eyes to sleep, but open them quickly. There

"I don't think this will end well. Some of these guys seem as if they will go at it any moment now," Kate said. And she was right. The tension in the manor was thick, and it wasn't from the pending war. But just from lores being around other lores, they didn't trust. A few more Lores, mostly witches, warlocks, and vampires, had arrived during the time Scarlet was setting up the crystals, which set the wolves on edge and even had a few questioning things. "Are we sure this isn't a setup?" Carmela asked when a warlock who was covered from head to toe in tattoos and piercings walked by her. Kate stared at the man, interested in the iron bars that ran through the bone in his nose, the rings in his brows, and the finger bone that was dangling from his ear. "Yeah, and I don't think I have enough arrow if shit should go sideways. "Don't worry, I don't attack those that are weaker than me." The warlock stopped to say. "Yeah, besides, we are only here because we are excited about the wa

I sat on the window seat looking outside; I remembered the rain falling hard that day and with it came this horrible feeling I have been feeling for to month now. Selina thought that we should go to the beach. It was her way of trying to cheer me up, but for whatever reason, I didn't want to leave the house, because my mind was telling me that something bad will happen. Selina left me alone after seeing that there was nothing she could do to cheer me up and I went to lie on my bed, thinking that sleep would help. But suddenly there came crashes and screams from downstairs, which I paid no attention to, thinking that it was just someone doing a spell because it was always like that there. We were crazy and always did experiments, so I lay there until a young witch by the name of Cari burst into the room. She was bloody and crying. I looked at her with wide eyes, but before I could go to her, a tall shadow appear in the doorway. The vampire grabbed her by the shoulder, then he bit
