Marissa was sitting on the desk, her left leg was lying on it while her right was on the floor. Aiden kept his distance, but they kept gawking at each other, he didn't want to interfere in hunter business and he had agreed that whatever they did, they would do it together and none of them would keep secrets. “I was able to enter his unconscious and memory lane, but I couldn't proceed after 1756. I think that someone blocked your memories with magic.” Hadrian looked at Aiden before getting his gaze back to the book he was holding. “Were you able to get some information?” Marissa questioned wishing that Hadrian had figured out a way to kill them. “Death and disaster.” Hadrian glanced at Aiden again. “I'm not surprised. We have been through a lot as a family.” Aiden shook his head. Marissa scoffed. A vampire was no good and hearing that they had been in pain made her feel delighted. “Why won't you kill Darius?” Hadrian said disgusted with even mentioning his name. “Do you thin
Aiden rolled on the bed, moving his hands on the blanket, his hand touched short strands of hair, but he noticed that it wasn't as long and silky as Lynette's hair. He opened his eyes and met Darius lying next to him. “Brother.” Darius smirked. He jumped out of the bed glaring at Darius, he was wearing ash shorts, revealing his packs and muscles. A large amount of hair covered his chest and it would keep a lady gawking at him with her mind lost in thoughts of how romantic it would be to lay on or touch his chest. Darius was wearing black trousers exposing his hairy and muscular chest. He slanted his head forward and Aiden turned. His gaze caught what he couldn't behold, he couldn't believe it. How on earth did she get there? Lynette was nailed to the wall, blood was trickling down her hands, and she had been bleeding, but he could tell that she wasn't dead, he could still hear her heart throbbing and begging for another life. “Her blood smells nice. Why don't you just have a bite
Regaining consciousness, Aiden punched him and he fell back, groaning. “You have to leave Arcadia Falls or I will lock you up and you would never see broad daylight again.” Aiden threatened, squatting close to Darius whose vision was dangling. Three blood bags were next to him, he could sniff them, he grabbed them, tearing them apart with his fangs and gulping the red liquid. The gray pigment that covered his skin gradually disappeared. He glared at Beckham as he stood on his feet. “I couldn't let you hurt that innocent lady.” Beckham reasoned. “You must have a reason for saving her ass.” Darius gave a side smile. “Why would you keep hypnotizing vampires?” Aiden gritted his teeth as he grimaced at Darius. “Esmeralda was from Vadim's clan. She came to deliver a message and he attacked her.” Beckham explained. “What message?” Aiden inquired. “The Vampire King wants us to bow before him.” Beckham confirmed. “I would rather die than bow before a man I can tear apart.” Darius scorne
“What happened? Why is everyone moody?” Colby asked after opening the door and noticing their stern look. They waddled in and he shut the door and followed them.“Aiden killed Amelia Rodney!” Darius announced with his arms wide.“Lynette went home after you didn't show up.” Colby told Aiden who was in front of him trailing away from what Darius said because he knew that it wasn't what he could do. “I will call her.” Aiden said as he pulled off his black polo dropping it on the couch before proceeding to the kitchen. “I ordered pizza.” Colby tried to brighten him up, giggling. “Go to bed, Colby. I need to be left alone.” Aiden hissed as he opened the fridge. Now, he believed it, he killed her. He followed him leaving Elijah and Darius in the living room.“Aiden, you don't have to worry about Lynette. I would do anything to protect her even if it would cost my life.” Aiden walked past him, dropping the pack of pizza on the counter.“You have to let me take care of my problems.” Aiden
Aiden looked up at the skies, the stars were gleaming, and the moon was glinting, setting the dark blue clouds in a distinct glow. He slid his hands into his pocket and looked at the earth before shaking his head and leaning on the rough barks of the tree he was standing next to. He understood that no matter how hard he tried to fall in love, he would never get there. He could never find love. His heart was gradually accepting the truth that he had lost Lynette forever. He knew that Hadrian and Marissa must have left and his brothers would be looking for Zachary who disappeared during the fight. Sighing, he recalled what happened eight years ago. Arcadia Falls. 17th July 2042Moving threads of her hair behind her ears, she sat in the park next to an old woman. Her mind was glued to her phone because she joined a social media group created by some of her friends in her school. She was 17 years old and she had a big dream of being fluent in different languages because she loved reading
Weeks and weeks passed by and there was no sign of Lynette. Colby was worried about his brother who he had stabbed with a steak and locked up in the dungeon after he revealed that he was going to leave Arcadia Falls. He also reminded Amaya about their first date and apologized that he forgot their date due to the problems they were dealing with. He fixed a new date during the weekend and it went blissfully, they enjoyed each other's company. Elijah had lost hope of finding his mother since Amelia was dead and Zachary was nowhere to be found. Marissa had recruited more hunters into the community and was training them every day. They were yet to schedule when to attack the Vadim and destroy him. Meanwhile, Vadim had been sending more of his minions to attack the O'Connor's with Esmeralda leading the horde of vampires. Beckham had warned Esmeralda to leave Arcadia Falls, but she was recalcitrant. He didn't know what else to do, but to save her life every time they came across one another.
“Dad. I will be back in a minute. I need to take out the trash.” Nina boomed as she dragged the black trash bag while heading to the door. “Ok. Sweetie.” Lane bellowed from the kitchen. Nina shut the door behind her before she ambled toward the trash can that was opposite their house. As she opened the lid, she threw it in the trash bag and slammed it. She turned to walk back to the front porch and she met an unfamiliar pale face. Nina knew it was a vampire because of her looks. She stepped away from the trash can and slowly moved backward. It dawned on her that she wasn't the only vampire there when her smooth slender body hit a tall muscular man who was behind her. She jumped on her feet and screamed.Hearing her shriek, Lane reached for his gun which was filled with wooden bullets. He rushed out of the house leaving the door ajar, he met one of the vampires feeding on his daughter.“She tastes so good.” They informed Esmeralda and she smirked.“Step away from my daughter now.” Lane
The bright light was flashing across the great hall, the opaque windows were shut. Silas was standing next to Vadim's throne, he caressed it and smiled smugly. He imagined becoming the leader of the clan, the power and respect he would earn, and the people he would command, but it was too sad because he couldn't stab his friend in the back. Vadim was in front of him, they were waiting for the two O'Connor brothers to arrive before they would discuss the matters at hand. “What is taking them so long?” Silas rebuffed, breaking the silence. “Patience, my dear friend.” Vadim scoffed as he locked his hand behind his back, he puffed in. The door went apart and Esmeralda entered with the O'Connor brothers behind her. She knelt before Vadim waiting for him to proceed. “Excuse us,” Vadim told her and she stood on her feet before exiting the great hall. “I wasn't anticipating this surprise visit.” “You shouldn't,” Darius retorted. Silas felt the audacity in his voice, and he snickered. “We c
