View MoreAnastasia’s POV.I suddenly felt pain all over my body, causing a groan to escape my mouth. I cracked my eyes open and found out that I had fallen from the horse's back to the hard forest ground. I must have dozed off …Sigh…I managed to stand up to my feet as my gaze scanned my new surroundings. No doubt , I was still in the forest; a deeper part of it. Although, the spot I was standing in was clearer; with just a few shrubs and some dried leaves scattered around, I still felt a bit apprehensive about my surroundings. This is still a forest, cleared or not.The neighing of the horse startled me a little. I had almost forgotten about the poor lad. It looks so tired, we must have been travelling for a while now. Of course, we have, that explains the dark skies and the twinkling stars above; it was nightfall. If not for the almost-full moon that was shining humbly, I would have had to deal with finding my way around total darkness.I can't keep moving, especially now when my horse needs
Anastasia's POV.Honestly, Drusilla is such a crazy young vamp. I can't believe she had me stay in a wooden cabin atop a tree just so I could watch her and her clan hunt. This was technically a tree house! It contained nothing more than a small wooden stool, a mat made of battered staw and…and nothing more.Sigh…I have no choice but to put up with it until their hunting is over.But once it is over, what next? A simple thought of truth brimmed in my mind; I can't keep staying here. This is a home of vampires and I am a freaking werewolf! Sooner or later I would have no choice but to leave, or worse, be chased off.Right now, I have to put that aside and focus on how I wouldn't get caught peeping from the window of one of these vampires’ tree house.I had to crouch my back a little to be able to watch the forest out there comfortably. Yet, the position was agonisingly uncomfortable.Where on the Moon are these blood sucking…oh, there they are.One by one, the vampires rolled out into t
Anastasia's POV.“Brother, it's not what it looks like!” The female vamp, who I now knew as Drusilla, exclaimed.I stared back at the man at the entrance and saw that he had a striking resemblance with her, but his look wasn't something to be worried about now. I should be praying he doesn't zoom over here and slit my throat with his claws.“You're speaking with a werewolf, uhn?” He snarls, glaring at my new friend, his sockets taking a dark hue, giving him an eerie appearance.“What do you think father would say about this?” He asked. His question seemed like threats and I was beginning to wonder if they were truly siblings. Siblings I knew wouldn't threaten one another like this.“Dexter please, just listen.” Drusilla said in a pleading tone. I had to help by turning a pleading gaze at him. I knew what would happen if he were to tell their father about my presence. By my guess, he'll be an Original and trust me, no one will be stupid enough to piss any of their kind off.Tension hun
Anastasia's POV.Oh Goddess! She's a vampire, she's a vampire, she's a vampire!I tried all my best to push her off me but she wouldn't just budge. Her eerie gaze lingered on my face, giving me chills that ran down my spine. Literally, I could feel the cold air emanating her body. Her arms were also freezing from where I had contact with her.“Relax”, she said in a monotonic soft tone. I red eyes had a sharp glint as they suddenly reduced to just the pupils been red. I felt my body relax, my muscles dilating and a soft sigh escaped my lips.I looked into her eyes which I somehow didn't find horrific again but…beautiful…No!She was trying to use her mind compulsion on me. But I'm not going to fall for that. I won't allow her to lure me into letting her suck me dry.With every ounce of strength in me, I pushed, hard, this vamp away. She skidded off me although it was obvious it had nothing to do with my pushing. I didn't hesitate to spring to my feet. My breath was erratic again as fear
Sirius’ POV.I sat in my high oak throne, anger and anticipation brimming my over consciousness. How would two slaves escape my confines? I am the ruthless Alpha of the Nightshade pack, this was surely a step on my name. I must make sure the news doesn't cross our borders. In fact, I mustn't allow my own pack members to hear of it.I tapped my fingers on the handles of my royal-like chair, the sound of the rhythmic ticking of my nails rented the air.I was patiently awaiting the return of the guards I had ordered to bring me back the escaped slaves. The night before, I had made an order for posters of the slaves to be pasted on every corners of the pack. I didn't care about my pack's great land mass, all I needed was to get those wretched slaves and show teach them a lesson they'd never forget.And that was why I was a bit excited when I was informed that a raven had been received from a farmer from our southern border saying he had seen them. Without a moment of delay, I had sent out
Anastasia's POV.“Let us out of this place!" Chi Chi shouted at the top of her voice as she pounded the door with force. Despite the frustration in her tone, Fiona remained unresponsive. Was she even listening? Standing behind Chi Chi, I whispered prayers to the Moon Goddess, pleading for her help.“Fucking rodents!” Chi Chi cursed and, hitting her hand on the door one last time. She turned around, running her hand through her short black hair in exasperation. I was more than worried.“Wha–what are we going to do now?” I asked, clasping my sweaty palms together.“I don't know…” she responded in a tone of devastation.Our time was running out quickly. It was certain that the warriors from the royal estate would soon arrive and capture us. The thought of returning to the dreadful dungeon filled me with dread. The food there was repulsive, the stench was unbearable, and the constant presence of flies was maddening. The Nightshade pack surely do subject their prisoners to insufferable and v
Anastasia's POV.Chi Chi knocked on the wooden door of the small hut for the umpteenth time, but the inhabitant had yet to open up. Impatiently, I sighed and rubbed my arms, which were almost freezing in the cold. As I had predicted, the storm had caught up with us. Chi Chi's friend's place was farther than I had thought, and the rain had beaten us for about an hour before we finally found shelter under the small shed in front of the hut."I don't know the reason for their delay. They are supposed to have opened up by now.” Chi Chi said. It was obvious she was getting impatient as well, it was written all over her scrunched face.I turned around, forcing myself not to hiss out of annoyance. I hope these people still live here.“What are you doing in front of my house?”I could swear on the Moon Goddess that I felt my heart fly into my mouth. I wrapped Cho Chi's arm in a tight grip.“It's me, Fiona,” Chi Cho said calmly. The smallish old lady before us looked up at Chi Chi and her eyes
Anastasia's POV.Chi Chi and I crouched down amidst the tall blades of grass in a nearby field, utilizing them as a disguise to avoid detection. Despite the pain pulsating through my back, I made sure that I remained as low as possible, knowing that my life depended on it . We had managed to travel a significant distance towards the entrance of the royal estate without encountering any of the patrolling guards, who appeared not to be at full alertness. It appeared that news of my escape had not yet reached their ears. But I knew it was only a matter of time before it did."Lower your stance, Anna" Chi Chi cautioned, tugging me down. Her instructions were causing my back to ache, but I knew better than to complian. As the leader in this, I knew it was only safe for me to comply with her commands.Although the royal gates were still far off in the distance, I could see the end of the vast green field. I trailed behind Chi Chi in silence, reassuring myself that we would soon be out of t
Chi Chi's POV.I carried the bucket of water and poured its contents inside a larger bucket. Then I dropped the bucket, turned it upside down and sat on it. A deep sigh escaped my lips as I rested my jaw on my folded hand.I wasn't tired, I was just bored.“How on the Moon do I get to see Anna?” I mused sadly.“Those fucking rodents that call themselves guards won't allow me”. Ever since that fucking rodent of a woman was announced Luna on the Alpha's birthday, my spirit hasn't been at rest. What then had happened to Anna? Worst of it was that she hadn't even come to see me since then and I was worried as fuck.I heard tapping on the bucket I was sitting on. I sprang up, thinking it was the fat lady, here to scold me about not working. But I saw no one, except the other slaves performing their own duties at a distance.Thinking that I was just daydreaming, since I hadn't had a proper sleep in days, thinking about Anna. I sat back down on the bucket but then again, I heard the tapping.
