Kyle's pov
I had only one purpose, and that was to find out why and how I turned out this strange and weird. Last night was worse, I couldn't even take a little sleep, and neither did my craving for blood subside. I'm guessing at this point there are no more rodents in my room.
I had conducted a series of blood tests in the lab to see if I'd have the edge over my newly profound abilities. I sat silently on the lab stool to wait for the results until it was ready and came out.
I was shocked by the revelation of the result. Not wholly shocked, I must say. Although my instincts pointed to the fact that my hunches were correct, the logical part of my brain fought against the possibilities. But now, it is confirmed.
And after a couple of other research from the web, mythological books, and journals, I knew for a fact that I died and woke up. I am no longer a human. The words of the owl played once more in my head. Wake up! Arise!
"The days of rebirth are complete. No longer a part but a whole. No longer a basic but a rare. The night and the moon call for sharing flesh and drinking blood. When the moon goes thirsty, let it drink!".....the days of rebirth are complete! A reincarnation.
This new piece of information intrigued and interested my being. I wanted to try new things. I wanted to learn new things! There are so many things that need to be learned and practiced! My mind roared, and suddenly I had a grasp of my inner self.
No more would I be the boy that people oppressed!
No more would I be the boy that girls reject!And no more would I be the stepson that gets maltreated by his wicked stepmother."Firstly, you need to learn how to use your powers," a familiar voice thundered. I looked around but couldn't find anything or anyone with me."How do I do this?" I groaned inwardly, and I was shocked once more when the familiar voice spoke again.
"Focus! Just focus. Let your mind teach you ." The voice in my head blasted, and I paid attention to every word. "Let your mind direct you," it roared again.
I closed my eyes and tried to meditate, but it looked like I wasn't getting it.
"Follow your mind and walk according to the path it shows forth, into the depth of the woods. The part is set alone to roam only by immortals. In the woods, after the land of the living and after the skull dessert and after the seven white stones, you shall go. Into the abyss that holds the boundary between the natural and supernatural. There, you would find that, which is to tell and teach you all you would ever need to learn." The voice said, and immediately without any form of protest, I picked up my test materials from the lab and shoved them into my bag before sprinting away.
The cold and crisp autumn air greeted my body once I stepped outside the lab. Wisconsin sure does have the prettiest view during this time. I watched and noticed how the countryside was ablaze with colors.
A sudden cold wave hit my face, and my nose flared in return, and I went frantic on impulse. My fangs stuck out, my fingers poked out, and I felt an unusual pop of adrenaline seeped through my veins.
The danger was near. I could smell it. I could feel it.
I strained my ears and what I heard next caused my cheeks to split into wide grins.
"You must not let yourself be put down by anybody because you are not just the heir to the night moon pack, but also an Achak. I'd leave a few of the pack guards at your disposal. Send them in times of emergency and keep in touch" the person I sensed to be Alpha Aloysius spoke to his son.
Well, if this whole thing hadn't gotten better.
The reason for my parent's death was at my disposal. An eye for an eye, this shall be indeed!
I willed my senses to stop when I remembered something I read from my research; Werewolves have a way of smelling vampires from a distance as well.
I dashed for the woods and walked according to the voice's instruction which was in my mind.
And after what seemed like forever in the wood, I saw the last part of my sign — the seven white stones. It felt like days since I passed the skull desert, and as I walked further, I noticed the differences in the atmosphere. I needed no soothsayer to tell me where I was.
I could feel it.
The power. The myth....it was extraordinary!
...the abyss that holds the boundary between the natural and the supernatural.
But then there was nobody here. Who was the voice referring to when he said that which would teach me all I need to know?
I just stood and stared. Thinking of what I was thinking about, what to do when a blackbird flew past me and disappeared into space.
I became petrified.
I was about to turn back around when a thought cut through my mind.
I took off my shoes and threw them in the direction where the bird disappeared, and my shoe vanished. Although, I could see ahead of me. There was no sign of my shoe.
Okay, let's do this. I encouraged myself before sticking my hand out, and immediately I felt a tear in space. I moved my whole body forward, and I was greeted into another world.
"And the prophecy foretold of a young lad who would rise to conquer the prevailing kingdom and situate his on their head. Ruling and tormenting all other kingdoms. For posterity has been set as his reward."
I turned toward the voice and what I saw next made me cringe...
Jasmine's povWhere are the goddamn roads?A chill traveled down my spine as my eyes wandered around the woods. I've been running for two hours. Two fucking hours.What were mothers words to me again?"Stay out of trouble and by all means do not illegally cross the borders of other kingdoms," she had always warned.I've always been known to obey my parent's words since obviously they were the Alpha and Luna of my pack but basically because I was your typical introvert. A dorky one at that.About three hours ago, I left my dorm room for some fresh air when I couldn't get any more ideas penned down. I suffered heavily from writer's block, and I have a deadline to meet by next week. It was as if my idea juice dried up. I parked my car on the paved road, but I unconsciously entered the woods, the part which was set apart for only the inhabitants of Allouez.The wolf's kingdom was
Jasmine's pov"I'm sorry that I couldn't make it back on time. I got into some trouble," I said when I walked inside my room and went to my space. I landed heavily on my soft bed. Unlike outside and in the woods, the inside was warm. My trembling body basked in the warmth of the room and the comfy-ness of my bed. It was a miracle that I didn't break my leg from that fall. What happened to the lights anyways?A satisfying moan left my mouth."Why do you look so tired? And what are all these scratches on your hand?" Miranda questioned and walked to my side of the room to inspect my hands.I didn't even notice that I had scratches."Where— what scratches?" I asked with anxiety. I turned my hand so that my elbow was now up, and immediately my face turned sour."What happened to you? Where were you?""In the woods. I got chased for hours. Two fucking hours" I exclaimed before chugging down a lite
Jasmine's povSun shone through the thick cloud as Mira, and I made our way through the crowded pavement of Manville."Yes, I admit. Wisconsin is naturally beautiful during falls, but Manville is the prettiest amongst all its towns," I confessed to Mira, who had made that claim at the beginning of fall, but I was quick to try to prove her wrong. But suitable walking in the crosswalk and this bright and sunny day just proved her claim. It was beautiful."See, I told you," she smiled and clapped her hand merrily before doing a little happy dance.Really? Does it feel so good to have me agree to something? I turned my head upwards to look at the sky, and I noticed the changes in it.I hurried through my backpack and fished out my phone before turning to the calendar app. I checked the date, and that was when it hit me.Today was the blood moon festival. On the day of mating, I was fulfilling desires and finding out who I would spend
Jasmine's pov Who was this man? Even in the dark, I could perfectly outline his features. Damn! the creator for making some people look like the Greek gods while others like the slaves. Though I couldn't see all of him, from the little I could see, I would say he was the human symbol for gorgeous. Dang! He was tall, lean, broad-shouldered, and had muscular arms. Those were his features I took in at first then swallowed. Next was his footsteps... They were calculated and purposeful. His hands were tucked into the pocket of his black velvet jeans trousers. His long-sl
Kyle's pov My training was complete. My senses were trained and now fully enhanced. Now I could see, smell, hear, taste, and run as fast as any other immortal on planet Earth. My days with the seven witches finally got to an end, and I was more than happy to start trying new things! Eating new things! It was time to pay back the humans, for all the hurt and pain they caused me! It was time to avenge the werewolf for the death of my parents! It was time to start a new reign! A new kingdom! It was
Kyle's povI cleared my throat and said "You look like you were going to say something. What stopped you?"She looked at me like I grew a horn on my head. Maybe it was the mode of my approach or I seemed unbothered by her, but something vexed her."I was going to say you are standing in my way. Move!" She blurted with a frown.I made a tsk sound and said "You're sure that's what you were going to say wild cat?"It was her time to scoff at me. "Wild cat? That's the best thing you could come up with?" Her voice was sharp and she was damn sharp too. My first impression was that she was a ninny or an introvert of some sort
Kyle's povI got tired of hiding in the dark. I got tired of living alone as the only vampire in Wisconsin... Switching between my typical college house and the isolated cabin in the woods.I wanted to live my life as freely as the werewolves and humans. . I'm tired of running off like a lunatic whenever I'm faced with werewolves. I wanted to bring my powers to light and my empire too.It was time to build my empire!I knew a few things about not to exhaust a newly initiated vampire and about a little more on how to train them, but I've learned mightily about how to breed one. Diverse ways to breed them, I must add.Since I couldn't possibly g
Kyle's povImmediately after the last compelling word left my mouth, the body of the dead owls stood up and flew through the window while the light from the candles turned off.The cabin and the environment were completely silent—eerily silent. For a couple of minutes, everything was quiet until there was a thunderous sound from the outside and a flash of strong lightning appeared in the sky, cutting and illuminating through the darkness and silence.The sound of deep rumbling started to grow inside and I know after that the initiation was complete. After a few minutes more the candle lights came on again while the owls returned.I waited to watch in alert and zero seconds. The new vampires
