TERESAAll my senses had gone mad. Everywhere I looked, I saw those beasts watching us. The pungent, repulsive smell of sulfur had returned. Although I had more confidence in my own strengths, my first thought was, Where are you, Bash? No more regrets. It was time to take my life into my own hands and keep Caroline safe. It was my only really important concern.“Teresa? Something is happening, I feel it!” she told me, scared, looking in all directions and coming towards me easily. “And I don’t have to be a vampire to realize that something is wrong.”“That’s right. Let’s go out the back door quickly. That’s how we save time. The big problem is that the route ends exactly through the park, but I think it’s time to show who I am.”Just then, at the window on our right side, a hideous face with huge fangs grinned at us, as if waiting to come in.“Terr, I’m scared…” Caroline whispered, trying to induce a state of well-being and peace, driving away the terror she was definitely going throu

CAROLINEMy head was spinning, and I had difficulty standing upright because of dizziness. In addition, my body was experiencing aches and pains all over.I could feel the venom of this vampire running through my body, and I wanted to repel it, as I didn’t want to be one of them and to live an eternity of pain, to carve for people’s blood to survive. I just wanted my life back.I retreated to a corner of the room, away from their eyes as some looked at me curiously, others worried. Teresa, my dear friend Teresa! It wasn’t her fault.She didn’t choose the life she was living, either. But the thought that now I was in these werewolves’ nests, being transformed into an outcast of the night, not knowing what death meant, was burning inside me.I looked down at my hands; I didn’t see any difference, I just felt them freezing. They were still shaking, and it seemed to me that I could not control them.“She will end up in delirium. She has no blood to feed with!” I heard that vampire as clea

LETTICESo far, I had hidden very well, and I had given no one anything to suspect. But things were getting more and more complicated. The attacks I ordered, Teresa’s powers that developed day by day.Yes, I knew Teresa was not human. And I knew I needed her blood to make an indestructible army. I didn’t care if I dried her blood out. My goal was my revenge.Revenge in a past that haunted me even now. They banished me from my parents’ pack and denied me the royal line and automatically my succession to the throne.They mercilessly separated me from my children. Now I had them with me. One was born out of necessity and the other out of love, but if I had a shred of love and compassion left in my heart, it was all for my children.Now, with my daughter, it was a different story. She stood by me, answering to me always, following my every order and was doing this right now.She was weak and obedient and to my satisfaction and listened to me completely, without questioning my decisions. M

TERESAThings with Caroline seemed to go well. Instead, I could not explain to myself how I convinced her only with my mind not to attack me. And the problem with Bash that never ended. I missed him, but I won’t let that feeling darken my thinking. He made a huge mistake and now he would have to pay for it.It was almost evening when I went to the Gallagher’s library for the first time. It was located somewhere in the house’s basement. I didn’t know exactly, but I understood that there weren’t many rooms there, so it was unlikely to find it.The long hall, dimly lit by a few lamps, had only two doors, one of which was locked. I didn’t have time now to solve this mystery, although I got intrigued by why only one door in the entire house was locked.The second door, made of solid mahogany wood and, as I expected, was unlocked. I let myself in, admiring the huge shelves. The smell of old books propelled me into a world of fantasy. It was the perfect world, which I desperately needed to g

TERESAMy life took a dangerous turn after I met Sebastian Gallagher. The beasts attacking me, powers that I could not explain even now, and the possibility that I could be the daughter of a 1000-year-old vampire. I didn’t yet fully clarify this aspect, but to be honest, I had almost no doubt about it.Today I set out to see exactly what I could do, and I talked to Caroline to go to the house garden to practice. She had a busy day yesterday with Erik teaching her various tricks.And she was going through changes that were hard to believe and live with, too. But we had each other, even though I seemed to still keep her away from my blood with the power of my mind. I didn’t like it, but I had no other solution.If she would attack me, I would have to defend myself and I really didn’t want to hurt my friend.“Hey, are you ready?” she asked me cheerfully, sticking her head into the room after knocking slowly. I raised my gaze and looked at her with mixed feelings.“Ready than I will ever
