Alaric's voice trembles with concern, his tone laced with worry. As I prepare to take another sip, I feel a force tugging me away, interrupting my indulgence. Frustration and tears well up inside me, and I instinctively resist, struggling against the unseen hands.

In that tender moment, he whispers in my ear, inviting me to drink from him. Without hesitation, I sink my teeth into his neck, savoring the taste of his life-giving essence.

A few of them made scorn of my ambitions, like Dominico. I sighed at the thought of him. An enemy will always remain an enemy. I signaled the waiter by my side to serve me some wine.

He stopped and handed me the glass. I swirled it slowly, savoring the sweet scent of it before sipping slowly as I enjoyed my wine.

I took it hesitantly, my expression sour. “So tell me guys, rumor has it the both of you are sworn enemies. But here we are, and none of you has yet to remove a gun to make a hole out of the other’s head.” He curved a devious smile, as he flipped glances at me and Ryan. Ryan followed up with an amused look and laugh, “Sworn enemies?” He laughed harder.

What followed was the dripping sounding of water, falling from a large flask into a cup, and the scent of coffee brooding over the entire room which caused my nostrils to inhale all of it, forcing my tongue to crave for a taste of it. Hopefully she turned around with a cup of it placed in a saucer, walking towards me, and handing it over to me. "Thank you..!" I said as I received it from her hand And began sipping the hot coffee with all care. She sat with me and also began sipping hers, and I looked towards her with no words to say. My heart though was filled with envy at her calm self even when she dine with her enemy. "I don't know how these rogues get their way in here. They just keep ge

"Élianor… You look like…" "Like what they need to see," I interrupt. "The specter of their misdeeds, made flesh and blood, and holding the keys to their survival." The children are asleep, protected by Sophie in the west wing, far from the murmurs and the clinking of glasses. The tea she brings me is Lapsang Souchong, smoky, sharp. It tastes of ash and resolution. I drink it in one go. "And him?" The question is a stone I toss into the well of my own contempt.

I was free and alive, lifted and soared from the heaviness, as cruelty of my enemy evaporated away. Once drinking and jollifying, we heard no more shout or scream. This should probably have been taken to mean that our enemy was finally silenced into submission. My gaze swung to Jacob; my eyes sparkled with curiosity. "Let's go check it out," I said to him in a voice little louder than a whisper.

"You guys just suddenly jumped in with a couple of strangers, werewolves even. But, um, we aren't always like this." From the front seat, Zack had a confused look on his face that shifted to one of disapproval. He then turned his head around just enough to lock eyes with Sarah and gave her a hard stare to warn her. He scolded, "Sarah, no talking to the enemy." Sarah averted her gaze from him and rolled her eyes. She responded sarcastically, "Sure, it's fine to ride in a van full of them, but a friendly conversation isn't optional."

"There shall be a feast tonight! Never had we been able to drive our enemies up to the valley which I am told they had been driven to, today. I am immensely grateful and I shall not keep from making merry.” “As it is obvious, we are a small pack living in peace and harmony away from the rest of the aggressive war. But as much as we run away from the constant wars of other tribes, they always come at us with the cruelest intentions.” “To steal our crops and to abduct our young women who are my daughters.
