The urgent call for action resonated through the grove as Lily's father swiftly organized another search party. Determined to rescue his beloved daughter, a group of skilled warriors gathered, their faces etched with determination and concern. Rebekah, her eyes filled with hope and fear, looked on as they prepared to venture into the forests.As the search party made their final preparations, Henry addressed them with his authoritative voice. "You must find my daughter," he proclaimed, his voice carrying the weight of their collective purpose. "She's counting on us, and we won't let her down. Stay vigilant, trust in your training, and bring her back safely."The warriors nodded in agreement, their expressions resolute and unwavering. They tightened their grip on their weapons, ready to face whatever setbacks lay ahead. As they prepared to depart, Rebekah stepped forward, her voice filled with gratitude and concern. "Please, bring her back to us," she implored, her eyes welling with te

As the moon reached its highest point, casting a strange glow over the area, a sudden silence fell upon the main pack. Little did they know, the vampire coven had found out where they were and planned a merciless attack. In the darkness, a cold breeze whispered through the trees, carrying a feeling of danger.Tyler, standing at the front of his ready army, sensed the approaching danger. He quickly looked around, searching the shadows for any sign of the enemy. Moon light shown on their skin as they set in for the impending battle. He had already received the message of the bomb blast attack on the grove a few days ago and he had readied his men for any attack that would happen to the main pack.The vampires acted faster than he predicted. They had come to attack the main pack just 3 days after attacking the grove."Stay alert, everyone," Tyler ordered, "We know what's coming. Get ready to protect your families, your loved ones, your memories and your home."There was a large number of

Jaxon looked around for Tyler as he slaid down bodies of vampires. His eyes landed on Erik and he fought his way to meet him."Hey, where's Tyler?"Erik looked at him impatiently and replied, "The General has been injured. He's there." Jaxon looked at the direction he pointed to and ran to meet him. Violetta sensed a presence behind her and she quickly released her claws and jumped to her interlocutor. Jaxon raised his hands up in surrender and when she realized she was one of them, she sighed and went back to Tyler's side.The air was filled with the scent of blood and the sounds of fierce growls, but Jaxon's attention was solely focused on Tyler."What happened to him?" Jaxon asked."Isn't it obvious? He was bitten." She answered, irritated by his question."And what have you been doing?""Trying to cure him." She gritted her teeth."And how has that been going?""Look, would you try help him or not?!" She bursted in anger. "I'm sorry…""I need to know the situation before I offer

*Lily's POV* The smell of acid burned my nose. Someone was being tortured in the cave next to ours and my ears had grown accustomed to the screams.But no more. I had planned this for days and I was hoping it would work.In a moment of opportunity, when the vampires watching us briefly left us with a warning, fear crept up to me. It was finally happening. I looked at the lock holding my chains and thought hard about what I was going to do.Drawing on what I had concocted in my mind as a solution, I carefully looked at the lock, searching for any pinpoints. They seem to be have been bonded by dark magic as even the effect on my wrists was stark. They really drained my energy. I used my nimble fingers to gently work on the lock, paying attention to the clicks and movements.Time seemed to slow down as I applied just enough pressure, trying to move the lock's parts. I felt a satisfying resistance, a sign that I was making progress.With great focus, I kept working on the lock, my heart

After dressing up and filling my stomach with a piece of bread and some veggies, I went on to find out if it was really Don I heard. I asked a guard stationed in the hallway, "Hey, please, is Don really back?"He looked at me with a blank expression on his face, "Don? Yes, mistress. His room is just downstairs, on the third block."I nodded, showing gratitude and turned in the direction he pointed. My chest beat out for some reason. They were so many questions I wanted to ask him. So many slaps I wanted to give him. So many answers I wanted from him. So so many things.I arrived in front of the door and breathed out momentarily. This was it.I knocked on the door twice until he told me to come in.When I gently opened the door, I saw him sitting on the chair, lighting a cigarette. Everything went silent. The cigarette fell from his mouth and he inhaled the smoke making him cough out.I slowly closed the door behind me and walked up to him, feeling a heaviness in my heart. I could tell
