Castlevania: Nocturne Richter Novels & Stories

Stuart slowed down so they could catch up, he felt they deserved to see their Goddess laid to rest once more. The Chapel was behind the pack house and as they rounded the corner Annie could see who she presumed to be the Templar Alpha, Luna and his Alpha unit waiting for them outside. All were dressed in traditional Templar robes, white tunics with the red Templar cross on the front. As Annie and a reluctant Jen climbed out of the car the Alpha help up his hand and the applause died down. Annie found the silence oddly deafening, the only sound was the rain which had started steadily falling on the journey from Fort Augustus.

Liam suggested. "I'll think about that later. But for now ---" Dante was interrupted by a loud noise. Apparently, Zaria had rushed in because she had forgotten something. But when she saw Liam's visitor, her body calmed down as though she had been poured cold water. Her eyes lingered on all his features, from his black rough hair, down to his ocean-blue eyes and then to his chest which was opened a little. He had a wooden necklace around his neck to complete his scorching looks. Her down was already throbbing just by the thought of him being on her.

He checked the screen, his eyes narrowing as he read the message. "Ah, perfect timing," he muttered, a cold smile spreading across his face. The signal is coming from a house on the outskirts of town. Lyrien, Erith, and Aria are all there. Josh's heart sank, his mind racing with thoughts of the impending doom that awaited ahead. He knew that Victor would stop at nothing to get Lyrien, and that Lyrien was powerful being and with Aria, the cursed wolf. The SUV sped through the night, its tires screeching as Victor took a sharp turn. Josh felt a surge of fear as he realized they were closing in on their prey

Deep down I expected rejection, perhaps even contemptuous silence. The reply arrived at dawn two days later, carried by a lone rider dressed in black with no banner or insignia. I tore open the envelope in the dim light of the study, heart hammering against my ribs as I scanned the lines. According to the letter, the Night Reaper had agreed to the alliance but only on one condition. “Your former Luna, Maya, will be given to me as my wife. Only then will the alliance stand.” I read aloud for the tenth time as I sank slowly into the chair behind my desk, the letter crumpling slightly in my tightening fist.

He was any girls dream to look at but a complete ass once you got to know him. "Are you done being a pain in the ass or am I leaving you down here the rest of the night?" His voice was deep and sent a shiver down my spine. I shook my head yes at him and he started to unhook my chains. I didn't want to spend the night in the damn basement. I would be good for now and then try to get away again.

The bright rays of the sun illuminated their faces and it was the first time I noticed a starking resemblance. They both had the same dark brown hair just brushing their shoulders and bright green eyes. The dark black rim around the emerald color looked deadly, and I couldn't tell if it was from being a vampire or their intent to kill me. “Dimitri, do you see this? Looks like wolfy here has gotten himself a toy,” Gavin sneered, amusement sparkling in his eyes. Nathan's grasp tightened on my arm while staring down the vampire. He turned his head slightly, addressing me. “Elana, go get Stephan.”

“Were the specifics of the circle cast mentioned?” “Not that I know of,” Evander answers. “The Light of the Moon Circle,” Kristy suggests. “Say that’s what you cast. It’s fast and strong and could kill vampires.” She turns to me, eyes wide. “Which unfortunately happened.” “You’re faking my death now?” Lucas comes in through the back door, and Evander looks him up and down.

‘She could be identical to my mother Visenna if not for the fading scar in her neck…’ Rozelyn thought. The woman tightened her black choker that has triquetra as its lavaliere before speaking, “I am Rosette Richards. The supreme of the English coven.” She then extended her right hand for a gesture of a handshake—a respectful way of introducing one’s self to a fellow vampire.

She should’ve traded with Zane and sat where she had a worse view, in the middle. The vehicles had come from some wealthy donors who were interested in seeing LIGHTS put a complete end to the Vampires. Like cockroaches who had hidden away until after the blasting was over, they were crawling out from beneath rocks and out of holes, ready to flex their muscles since the most dangerous part of the Revelation appeared to be over.

Tiny lights pricked the night like a constellation of fools gathering for slaughter. So predictable. So beautifully blind. The wind carried Julius’s rage to me, raw, delicious, powerful. The fool still thought this was about the girl. He didn’t understand. This was about balance. Justice. Retribution long overdue. I took it all in, eyes half-closed. “Ah, Julius,” I whispered to the storm. “You’ve always been such a magnificent fool.” Behind me, the shadows stirred. My Beta, Rael, emerged from the darkness, tall, silent, eyes as black as the sigils carved into his skin. “The circle is ready, Alpha. The demon marks responded to the Luna’s blood. The siphon will hold.”
