“I won’t let them leave,” Ann argued. They’re just plotting to kill Lucas. Allowing them to leave isn’t healthy for Lucas. He didn’t choose who he is. “What do you propose?” Lucas glanced at Ann with curiosity. “Watch and learn,” Ann said. She disappeared in a flash of light and appeared behind Maureen and Pablo. They were already making their way out to call for backup. “Leaving so soon?” Maureen flicked around firing a shot. Ann disappeared into thin air. “Show yourself witch!” she yelled. She was supporting Pablo. When he was blasted, he made a rough landing on the ticket counter hurting himself badly. It’s difficult for him to move without Maureen lending her shoulder. “Let’s leave… come on, come on!” he cried out. “Not so fast,” Ann reappeared and stood before them. She narrowed her gaze at them. She drove her staff upwards with one powerful thrust, blasting them into a blue portal. She glance
Luck didn’t run out on Jane and Alicia this time. The wolfbane in their system has worn out which gave room for Lucas to catch up with their scent. Bad news for alpha Jones, this isn’t a full moon. An added advantage for Lucas is to use his wizardry power against him. Jones was still in the air when Lucas blasted him through his pack with a wind blast. Lucas launched himself into the air and fired another wind blast. The blast came with a wind wave knocking down trees. “Stay behind me,” Jane whispered to Alicia. “And cover your ears.” She stretched her hand forward and started squeezing her fingers slowly into a fist. She manipulated the same Beta to float in the air. Ash, squeezes her fingers, and the Beta was drawn toward her. “You wanna see something new?” she whispered. Jane whispered into the ear of the Beta and released him to slump to the ground. The Beta yelled out like one in deep torment. He rolled over the gr
Lucas approaches. The fallen tree branches creaked under his feet. The creak broke the silence as alpha Jones’ pack switched their attention to him.He lifted his hand and displayed the head of alpha Jones. “I’m your alpha now!” he roared in a mighty voice.He tossed alpha Jones's head to the number one Beta. “Anyone who disputes my alphaship should challenge me for a square.” He snarled flashing his newly acquired glowing red eyes.The reign of alpha Jones as the alpha of New Orleans werewolves has finally come to an end in the hands of a hybrid: half wizard, half werewolf. Lucas showed him no mercy. When he flew at his wolf rage, he engaged in his wizardry power to extinguish alpha Jones for good.This wasn’t the plan of the witches. They wanted to take away their wolf nature with the mystic orb. At least they won’t be looking over their shoulders trying to get away from the werewolves, especially on the full moon. Lucas has changed that. He’s one of them after all. Since he got to
Lucas dismisses the pack. The first Beta stayed back without leaving with the rest. His name is Pete. A young man in his early thirties. He has often opposed Jones's act of rule in his heart but he doesn’t have the balls to challenge him for a square or his position. Lucas was talking with Alicia and Jane when he walked up to him. He sought to speak with him. “Excuse me, ladies,” Lucas said. He excused himself and moved to a corner with Pete. “Permit me to speak freely, my alpha,” he said lowering his head slightly. “Of course,” Lucas replied. “Do you think we can win the vampires over in terms of keeping the peace?” There was concern in his voice. The only thing that led Zuka to Jones was he needed his muscle and that of his pack to get to the witches. Lucas emits a soft sigh. “I will offer them a deal,” Lucas said. “Alright, one more thing,” Pete raised his head and continued. “I have heard of these hunters
This isn’t the police. The police don’t open fire the way the shooter opened fire on Lucas. There are not trained that way. Lucas was still trying to make head or tail out of the current situation – a dominant footstep approached, “Make sure he didn’t come out alive!” “Copy that boss!” the first man answered. Lucas crawled toward Bonnie’s car and took cover. It was a black jeep. The gunshots never stop coming. He could sense another person joining the first shooter to shoot sporadically at him. There’s no leaving until he finds out who the hell these men are. He heard one of the shooters say to his colleague: “This city will burn if we don’t kill all these supernatural creatures and beings. Look at how they’ve killed Pablo like a wayward dog.” “We will torch this place down,” the first man replied. It’s now clear to him that these men belong to Five Fingers. The fading heartbeat he picked was becoming so faint that he c
AT THE CEMETERY The coffin is lowered into the ground. The priest stood by the grave said and said in a loud voice to the hearing of people gathered to pay their last respect, “Ashes to ashes, dust to dust!” He traces the sign of the cross of the grave. He turned to gesture at Mrs. Myles and her daughters to come forward. When they approach, the priest’s server offered Mrs. Myles a shovel half filled with sand. She took the shovel from the server and pours it into the coffin of her late husband. The same was repeated by all her daughters. In Christianity, this act relates to the belief that man is made from earth and returns to earth. Many in New Orleans believed that this act symbolizes a way of taking care of one’s loved one even in the end. When the rites of burial were over, Lucas approached Alicia. He came along with Jane to offer his condolences once more. He hugged him close to himself. “I’m sorry for your loss,” he whispered. He gent
The driver stepped out and opened the door of the Limo. Lucas emits a sigh. He doesn’t know what to expect inside Zuka’s mansion. Whatever Zuka’s game will be, he better be ready to play hard. He glanced at Jane. “Let’s do this,” he said. They both climbed down staring around the old brick mansion. The streets were shrouded in darkness except for the brick mansion. Vampires enjoy being around the darkness. That’s how they prefer to roll and lurk. A few lamps hung from an iron pole. This was the only source of light that stood like an usher outside the gate. It was quite an old-style mansion. The driver led Lucas and Jane to the door. He rapped the iron knocker with the shape of a woman. Lucas and Jane patiently stood behind him. They were still staring around. The place was so strange to them. They didn’t have to wait too long as the door was soon answered by an old man with gray hair. His hands were bony and pale. Hi
Lucas turned to face Zuka. “You invited me to talk and now you want to put your men against us?” “I never liked you,” Zuka said. “Especially after what you did to Lydo. Every vampire here is eager to avenge her.” Jane draws her chair back and gets up to her feet. “Perhaps you will join her if you don’t call your vampires to stand down!” she spoke boldly. The vampires don’t look like they want to move. They were stalking their prey waiting for the right time to launch their attack. “Now listen to all I have to say,” Lucas motioned. “If you will accept my offer, I will make you immune to the sun.” “That’s impossible!” Zuka disputed. He stared at Lucas with hate in his eyes. “Do you know how many witches have tried and failed for centuries?” “The witches are not like me,” Lucas spoke with confidence. “Neither are there hybrids like me.” Lucas created a spell after learning spell creation from his mother’s spe
