William. Jasper did not confirm when he would be visiting until a week later. Ellis had gone to the estate twice within that week to spend time with Derek. I had stopped worrying about her sleeping with Mirabel, we were both past that. She had begged me to allow Derek to return, but I knew this was for the best. The Estate was on heavily enchanted grounds, no attack could take place there. It was a haven, and that was where I wanted Derek to be. If it wasn't that Ellis was stubborn, and I needed her to help me run the pack, I would have sent her there too. The mages had requested that I join them in the blood ritual. I was looking forward to this ritual. They told me it would bind me to Ellis permanently, and I didn't want anything more than that. Patrick entered my office and sat in his chair. I was glad that he and his fiance or girlfriend, only the goddess knew what they were to each other, had patched things up with Ellis. Although Ellis was still reserved towards them, they h
William Getting ready for the battle wasn't easy. Although Philip would be in charge of the settlement, Ellis felt it would be best to move the young and weaker pack members to the bunkers. We needed to be ready and head out by ten in the morning. We planned to get there and attack by noon. Although I believed the mission would be easy, I wanted Ellis to sit this one out, but I didn't know how to tell her without annoying her. I headed back to the house to talk to my wife. She was sharpening her blade but wasn't dressed yet. I sat next to her in the living room. " Are they moving them to the bunkers?" She asked me, curious about the pack members, and I nodded. " You know Philip and Susan are not coming?" I began. " Good, that way, there will be people here to lead the remaining wolves in the event of an attack." She pointed out, and I figured that was my cue. " Hey, I was thinking you could do the same," I said, and she gently placed her katana on the table in front of us. " Wha
William. The witches had now introduced themselves to the matter. They might have sent Alfred to size me up or make first contact, either way, we needed to be careful. If these people believed that Ellis's blood could do this much, then they would be ready to do anything. I believed Ellis's blood had much power, claiming her had activated my spirit wolf dormant genes. Thompson was able to make a serum from her blood that made the wolves almost invincible. She was powerful, and the speculations about her blood must be true, but she was my wife, not an object. As things were now, I was ready to give my life to protect her. I called Philip on the phone and instructed him to secure Dr Thompson. Dr Thompson did not know about Ellis, but he knew how important her blood was. I didn't want him figuring it out in the wrong place with the wrong people. I headed back to the guest house to get ready for the operation. I felt something hot in my pocket and when I reached for it, it burned my fi
William Dimitri and his brood stayed not so far from my settlement. We parked a bit far from the place and continued on foot. It was daytime. We knew they wouldn't be out by now. Most of them were probably asleep but because of his frequent attacks, Dimitri was sure to be on his guard to withstand a retaliation. Unlike other vampires, Dimitri was smart enough to live underground and not in a building where they would have to paint their windows to keep the light out. Living underground guaranteed protection from sunlight. All that was visible on his land were tiny erections with a door. These buildings were so small they could only fit two people at a time. These doors led to the stairway that led to his massive underground home. Armed with our night vision goggles, I took a deep breath and kept my wife by my side as we entered through the erection in the centre, hoping it led to somewhere we could organise our attack. Inside the place was dark but I noticed that I could see cl
William. I couldn't believe it. I rushed to Ellis immediately after she hit the wall. How could a vampire wield magic? Melena had called him Alester, but I knew him as Dimitri. " Focus, William," Ellis said, standing up, but I had a foreboding that we might not leave that place alive. We had come to slaughter vampires and their master, but we hadn't come prepared for witches and a vampire who might be a witch too. The mission could go either way now. We had already suffered some casualties. Five of my warriors were dead, I couldn't feel them anymore. About fifteen were injured. I began to fear this was a wrong calculation on my part. Had I led us all to our slaughter? Bringing my wife was a bad idea too. Losing wasn't an option. I had to make sure we conquered Dimitri for the sake of our survival. " I thought you died during the council war?" Melena asked him, and he laughed. " Technically, I did," He said, pointing at himself, indicating he was a living dead. Magdalena left
William When Dimitri punched my neck he knocked me out completely. I came through with the help of Melena. I tried to get up immediately but I couldn't. I feared for my wife. She was left alone to face Dimitri. All the warriors were either pinned to the wall or unconscious, Audrey was unconscious and Melena was wounded. If We knew that Dimitri was a mage- turned-vampire, our strategy would have been different. None of the vampires we captured ever volunteered this information. The hunters did not know either. It was a well-kept secret. I could understand why he would hide this vital fact about himself, it gave him an advantage over others. It made people unprepared when facing him. I watched as Ellis charged at him. I wanted to tell her to stand down, I could feel her anger and fear of losing me, but I knew we had no option but to fight. We could not allow Dimitri to survive because he knew who Ellis was now. Knowing who she was, also meant he would not attempt to kill her, which w
William We were discharged after four days. Ellis and I were fully recovered by then. I wanted to take her straight to the Estate, but I knew we had to address the pack before going on leave. The welcome party was huge. They jeered and cheered. They were happy to see our return. Some of the pack members were crying tears of joy. The moment Ellis and I alighted from our vehicle, they began to bring gifts to their Luna. " Goddess bless you, Luna Ellis." " Thank you for saving our lives, Luna Ellis." " We love you, luna Ellis," " My mate is alive because of you, Luna Ellis." " You have our loyalty, Luna Ellis," Everyone had something to say to my wife. I watched as they hugged her and took photos with her. The pack truly loved her. Because of her, there would be no more vampire attacks on our pack. She had impressed everyone. I watched my wife smile and accept their gratitude. There was a time they hated her, but she had won their hearts quickly. Ellis was a strong woman. Sh
Ellis. Remembering the fight with Dimitri, I didn't think we would survive it. We had completely underestimated him, and he had surprised us beyond our imagination. If we knew he was a mage, our approach would have been different. When Dimitri punched Grey with so much force and power, I thought my husband had died. Melena's words helped snap me out of it. I was grateful for the mages. They had kept their promises so far. Although they were ancient, I saw them as my sisters. They had sacrificed enough to earn that position. I never knew that William and I would ever be together again, but everything had worked in our favour, and here we were again, back to our normal pleasure-filled lives. We left the mages in the living room still at it, and William carried me to the bedroom. We were both exhausted, so we just cuddled and slept naked in the bed. The next morning, William and I found Audrey and Melena in the kitchen, making breakfast. " Good morning!" Melena said, adding the sc
