When Greg arrived in the vampire kingdom, he found his father waiting for him in the office. What was more surprising was that Xavier was also present at this meeting. Gregory did not expect to see his brother here. - My sons. - King Marcus greeted them both, and a strange feeling rose in Greg's chest. He glanced at Xavier, who seemed to be equally concerned. It could mean nothing good. - What is going on, Father? - Xavier was the one to speak. - I have a bad news to share with you. - King replied, looking for the right words to explain the situation. Vampire princes were looking at their father severely. King was always a confident persona, but now he felt lost. - Tell us what is going on, do not keep us in the dark.- Greg encouraged Marcus as his heart pounded in the chest.- I am not sure how to start with that, as it is a delicate matter. - King Marcus let out a breath. - A few days ago, Lord Solomon visited our castle. - Uncle was here? - Greg and Xavier asked in unison. It
Camille watched her mate coming inside the house with a broad smile on his charming face. He looked like a child on a birthday morning.- I see the meeting went well. - The witch smirked. - It is better than well. At least at some points. - The Vampire replied with a grin. Camille raised her brow. - It means something went wrong.Xavier looked at her and burst into laughter. - You can say that. But that does not involve me. - I am sorry, but I do not follow. - The witch gave him a concerned look. Xavier sat on the couch, and Camille joined him. - It looks like my mother took matters into her own hands. It did not end well. His words made Camille go stiff. What did the Queen do? - She became a friend with the leader of your coven. - Xavier put his hand on hers. Camille felt a cold sweat on her forehead. What was he talking about? That was impossible. - But you said it did not end well. - Camille pointed out, and Xavier nodded his head. - My mother made her brother support w
Katherine sat behind her desk and leaned back on her chair, looking at the couple before her.- What do you mean by help? - She asked after a moment of silence. Greg took a seat near her. He had a chance to tell his bride about the meeting with his father. Katherine was still shocked by the Queen's decision. She knew this woman despised her with her whole power. But it was not enough reason to join witche's forces. Obviously, Katherine was wrong about her. The Queen was an evil person.- Any help that is needed. - Xavier replied. Before this meeting, they agreed with Camille he would be the one to speak. The which knew Alpha was still not trusting her enough. Katherine glanced at her mate, looking for his support. - We are grateful for your offer. For now, we cannot decide what form of help could be useful. We all are like a child in the dark. No one knows what Mother is up to, but we expect the worst. - Greg said, furrowing his eyebrows. All allies were warned about the possible at
- I could live here. - Mother said to the witches who stood nearby. She looked around, admiring the surroundings. That was a perfect place for her new kingdom. She deserved it after so many years of humiliation. Being banished was still a painful wound that could not heal. But soon, this will change. When all the werewolves are lost in sight, she will get back what is supposed to be hers in the first place. - We are waiting for orders. The leader of the vampire's warriors came closer. This man was still holding her in the distance, no matter how much she tried to impress him. After this battle, he will be on his knees, admiring her full glory. He will belong to her, just like everything else. - We will aim straight for this pathetic pack. There is no need for tricks. They are no match for us.- Mother smiled at him, but the man just nodded his head, and then he returned to his people. The highest witch had to swallow this bitter pill. Not long now, and his attitude will change. Then,
King, who was slowly coming closer.- Michael.- Marcus spoke, glaring at the group of vampires. - Your Highness. - The leader of the warriors bowed lightly. - You are far from the place I would expect to find you. - Vampire King pointed out. - What brings you and your men here? - My Lord's orders. - Michael replied shortly. Mother almost smirked, hearing his words. This man was incredible. Now, he stood tall and proud, watching King. King Marcus nodded his head, curling his lips in a smile. - And what those orders are? - Forgive me, Your Highness, but that is between me and my lord. - The vampire warrior replied calmly, but that was his mistake. King's expression changed immediately, and his eyes shone brighter. - Do not forget who you are talking to. I do not recall the moment when your Lord gained a position higher than mine. As long as I am aware, no one stands above me, or am I wrong? - Apologies, my King. - Michael reflected on himself. His previous confidence was gone.
- No!!!- Xavier was screaming, running to his bride. He grabbed Camille's hand as his life depended on it. Hot tears were rolling down his cheeks. Katherine shifted to her human form, falling to her knees. - Greg!!- She shouted. Her mate was the one she needed now. Gently, she lifted Camille off the ground. - Why did you do it? How could you be so stupid? Camille mustered a little smile. - I was stupid before, but now I finally understand. - The witch whispered. - What do you understand? - Katherine asked gently. - What is important...- Camille replied, and her eyes started to close. - Do not close your eyes. Stay with us. Greg!!- Katherine shouted again. Xavier was kneeling next to his bride, unable to move. Greg ran to Katherine together with the King. - Can you help her? She saved my life. Promise me you will save her. - Alpha looked at her mate and his father. Greg's eyes were full of sadness. He said nothing. Katherine raised her eyes, looking for the person responsi
Two days later. Katherine slowly opened her eyes just to shut them down immediately. She was surrounded by the bright light. ~ Are we dead? ~ She thought to herself. ~ I don't think so, but I wish we were. I am so weak. ~ Lucy replied quietly. ~ Did we die then? Were we reborn again? ~ Katherine was panicked. ~ Again, I don't think so.~ Her wolf said, a little annoyed.Alpha opened her eyes slightly, waiting for her sight to get used to the bright light. Slowly, some shapes became visible. The whole surrounding was white, making it painful to look around. - I thought you were dead.- Katherine nearly jumped at the sound of the voice next to her, but she only groaned when her whole body protested this sudden movement. Incredibly, slowly, Alpha turned her head to the side, looking at the person on the next bed.Camille was grinning at her while eating her pudding.Katherine would never expect herself to be so happy about seeing the witch. - You are alive. - She whispered since h
Katherine felt strange amongst all those people. She was the Alpha, but that was the most significant gathering she ever joined. Alpha's gatherings were nothing compared to this one. The ballroom was filled to the brim. The Ball. And she was the center of attention, not that she wanted this. But that was her coronation day. Today, she will become the Queen of the vampires. One of the two. Her lips curled into a smile when she remembered the shock on everyone's faces after King Marcus' announcement. After he came back from his trip to Solomon's land, King Marcus disappeared for a few days, locking himself in his office. No one was allowed to disturb him except the servants who were bringing him food. His strange behavior took a toll on his sons, who were really concerned. After almost a week, Marcus summoned Greg and Xaviet together with their brides. ~ Apologies for my odd behavior, but I had a lot to think about. It was a serious problem, but I hope we all benefit from it. ~ He
