Alaric's Pov Alaric woke up after some time and checked the time. It was one forty five am. He put a call across to Rodrigo. "Hope you had fun and didn't just stand guard all night long?" Rodrigo chuckled and said, " No boss, I had a lady to myself, but she stole from me." " Ow that's sad, what did you do to her then" " Taught her a little lesson on how stealing is bad, fucked her brains out after. I'm sure she has learnt a big lesson." Alaric laughed out loud," I'm going to send information about the lady here with me , I want you to call our database and confirm it. She says she was kidnapped and is being held against her wish" " The lady with me also said so, she said that was her reason for stealing. She steals customers' belongings, sells them and when the money reaches a certain level , age gives to the boss to buy her freedom. But the boss here keeps increasing their money , calling it's interest for not being able to pay quickly. " " I see...... " 'what a conniving ass

Seth's pov "My son , if you couldn't sleep you could have called me or your mother to keep you company. You didn't need to hurt yourself. The over dose you used by mistake could have killed you." Juiliard said, looking at his son lovingly trying to convince him to open up to them without asking. " I'm sorry dad , I didn't think clearly. Besides I didn't want to disturb you or mom because of everything going on now. It was very reckless of me, I won't do it again dad . I'm sorry mum." Crystal hugged her son and told him to come downstairs for his food." It's fine , although you have to eat both breakfast and lunch together. Okay?"" No problem mother," Seth said with a bright smile on his face.Crystal went to the kitchen to warm Seth's food and Juiliard went to his room.He remembered the incident between him and his brother the month before.A month ago..... "How dare you Juilliard, what makes you think you're special? You think because you have a lot of connections you know mo

Andra's PovAndra woke up as usual at five am but heard so much noise.' What's going on? What's all the noise about? Oh no.... Are we under attack! 'The thought of them being under attack made her rush outside. She saw everyone panicking and most of their fighters preparing equipment.She started looking frantically for her dad and also trying to ask around what was going kny.She met her dad in front of their weapon house and rushed to him. "Dad, what's going on, why are you preparing to fight?""Remember Alpha Winston?""Yes, his pack got attacked some months ago and ever since he has been trying to rebuild his pack. But why did you ask? Is he attacking us? I don't think he has enough manpower for that, is he seeking help from someone then?""No, actually he is the one under attack." " Oh my God, but how?""

Alaric PovRodrigo woke up early and headed to Alaric house to resume activities for the day. He knocked on the door and waited for a reply. He heard a very low ' I'm coming '. He thanked the heavens in his head for having sensitive hearing like other vampires. After some seconds Alaric opened the door."Good morning boss, hope you had a wonderful night?" " Yes Rodrigo, I slept pretty well in fact. Haven't had so much fun in a while. Hope you slept well? "" Yes boss," Rodrigo said and smiled. Alaric wasn't sure if to ask him about his visit to his aunt or his request for a trip. He had a feeling something was more to it. He decided he would ask by the end of the day if Rodrigo hadn't brought it up."I was thinking boss......", "Alaric, I've always told you to call me by name when we're alone,""Sorry boss... I mean Alaric" Rodrigo said with a smile. " I was thinking, Alaric, why don't you take a long rest, travel the world, see many places. I know you've probably been everywhere but

Crystal went to check the door but saw no one at the door. " I don't think anyone is there, maybe it's just my ears","It's because you're on the edge darling. You need to relax. Come here", Juiliard patted his chest, Crystal moved back to the bed and placed her head on his chest."This is so comforting, '' Crystal said with complete happiness, smiling, until she remembered their situation. '' Is there really nothing we can do? Is there no way we can avoid this cruel reality? '' she asked, moved to tears ," Why does life have to be so cruel, why do humans have to be so greedy? Even though you're giving him what he wants , does he need it all, this is just so unfair!" Crystal burst out crying." It's okay my love. These things happen, stop crying okay, you're making me more sad than I am" Juiliard thought of this idea to run away and decided to phone some of his contacts before telling Crystal about it. He didn't want to give them any false hope. He patted Crystal till she slept off.
