Great Expectations

Power is always associated with trouble. Sometimes it is great enough to save us from trouble, sometimes it isn't. Sometimes it is so great that trouble can't get close and sometimes its greatness is the reason why trouble comes. Sometimes it's not about how you use it, sometimes it's about the power itself. The mere existence of a certain power could stir up fear, awe, hatred and envy depending on who percieved it and how they do.

(Sequel to The Vampire King and his Omega) I was the daughter of Luciana Archenbow, the Killer Queen. The heir to two species, but I belonged to none. I was a witch. The most powerful witch in existence to be exact. My mother was the prophesized savior of her kind and my father’s, I was the result. Powerful magic had seized my body and made me its home, but that was the thing about power. It never asked permission and never sought forgiveness. No one could have prepared me for my role to play in this world. For I had the inkling that I was never meant to be its savior, like my mother. Until I met, him.

All I had to do was dive deep and pray that love would be enough.
