Hey guys thanks for reading my book still
Elder Alaric This whole thing wasn’t adding up. Whoever had made the vampire-blood-enigma had something against this poor girl. The last time an Elder gave away their blood for this drug, we placed them in prison for a thousand years. For a vampire to be placed in a prison with no blood for a thousand years sends them crazy. Many of them would die, but only elders survived this. To give this poison to a Lycan/werewolf or any other creature is the worst law you could break. The punishment for doing so is death. “Elder Alaric, sorry, but Asher just sent me a text saying that Sophia is dying a lot sooner than we think. Derek is dying as well.” She sighed. I had come across Roxy before in my travels. She intrigues me. Such a calming soul. She will do anything to help someone. That is why she has travelled and learnt about herbs and how they can heal. This girl is smart. She has huge potential. “OK Roxy, how about you shift and I will run. It will be a lot quicker, my child. Elvenia is
King Asher’s POVWe were a mess inside. Derek was on a bed in the lounge room because there was no other room in the house that we would be able to fit another bed and all the equipment that we needed. “Derek is here knocked out, but Sophia is in the room upstairs. She is still knocked out. Well, we can’t be sure, but she is acting as if she is.” I sighed. I needed this headache over and done with.“I will go and get the girl. The rest of you need to clear the room out and help Roxy get the equipment we need. You have ten minutes.” Alaric ordered each of us with the tasks that he needed us to do.“Are you sure you can get her, Alaric? We covered her in silver?” I asked him, afraid that he would get hurt. “Thank you for your concern Asher, but I have built up let’s say a little tolerance to silver. I will be able to handle her. She won’t be able to hurt me so easily and I need to see whose blood is in her body.” He explained to me. Nodding my head, I would not disagree with him. We w
“Your brother, fuck Alaric. Is it him behind this?” I asked him. How the fuck was it about his brother? This wasn’t good at all. What if he didn’t punish him?“Asher, calm down. I have not seen my brother since I punished him last time. But after I tasted Sophia’s blood, I can confirm that it was Nikolas. Now I do not know why the hell he has done this? Or who he is working with? But I can swear to you all on my life that I will find out the people behind this and kill them all.” He declared there was something in his voice that sent chills down my spine. I wouldn’t like to be Nikolas right now.“I don’t get why they have targeted Sophia? I mean, is there something special about her that we are missing?” I asked.“Um, well, there is something. But it really isn’t our place to tell anyone. But if you think it will help you, Alaric, then I will tell you and take the punishment later.” Lars spoke up.“What is it, son? We need to know what we are working against here.” Alaric told him.“S
Derek’s POVI was alive. I couldn’t understand how the fuck I was? That nightmare had seemed so real. Holding Sophia’s lifeless body over and over had woken me up from whatever dumb state I had been in. I don’t give a shit what she did, because I know it wasn’t her. She is my mate, and I had left her alone through all of this. I was the worst mate there was. “How much do they know, Alaric? Did any of my guys explain to you about Sophia?” I asked him through my thoughts. I had met Alaric a long time ago. When I was little, he had helped my father with a few rogue vampires that had been causing trouble for the Kingdom. So after that, every so often, he would come to check up to make sure nothing had been happening. Plus, having him there, his scent was all over the kingdom, scaring away the rogue vamps. “I told them everything. They had a right to know. Yes, Lars told us all, and he said he would take the punishment for telling his Queen's secret when it wasn’t his to tell. But like I
Derek’s POV Jerek shifted in his beast form, taking a stance. Someone lunged at him, but he snapped the lycans neck in his mouth, almost ripping the beast’s head off. Asher was in a dance with his father, but neither was attacking the other. Zac and Lars had taken out a few lycans already. “Back up towards Asher. We need to make sure they don’t attack him from behind.” I ordered them through the link. Within a few seconds, we had our stance around Asher. There was no way anyone was going to get him. They outnumbered us. It seemed his father had a bigger following than Asher thought. “BACK DOWN FATHER, BEFORE YOUR THROAT IS RIPPED OUT.” Asher’s Lycan roared. “You think you can take me? Your out numbered. The others that took off are about to be caught.” His father's beast laughed. What the fuck was he talking about? “Derek, you need to leave me and save Sophia.” Asher linked me. “No way in hell. I trust Brooke and Alaric. She is safe with them. What is the plan here?” I linked him
I could sense that Asher was staring at Derek, guessing that he was warning him. Asher truly was special. He was nothing like we all thought he was. The saying don’t judge a book by its cover came straight to mind. He was warm and caring. I know what he has had to sacrifice, and it was truly not fair. Every part of me was aching, but I was putting on a front. Everyone had been strong for me and now I needed to do the same for them. Looking down at Brooke's body, my heart missed a beat. My best friend had died trying to save my sorry ass. How the fuck was I meant to live with that? Her scream had awoken me from the cage that I had been caught in for nearly a year, a prisoner in my own body and mind.“Asher, if you need any help to clean this up or handling anything, please let me know. But I would like to take my best friend back home and plan her funeral with the Queens.” I said to him. Honestly, I didn’t want to leave him alone with what had just happened, but Brooke deserved to be b
“Soph, we have heard some much about you. We will get to know each other soon, but I would really like to get my mate home. From the looks of it, they are all in shock. Do you mind if I pop over tonight?” Lar’s mate said to me, I could feel the hurt she was holding back trying to be strong for her mate. That was something that we were all doing at the moment.“Of course, our door is always open for you.” I said to them as they wrapped their arms around their mates, pulling them away to take them home. Which left Tim taking Brooke’s body away. Derek stood there watching as his friend's body was being taken away. Before I could stop him, he shifted, giving Jerek full control.“Jerek stop.” I begged him, but it was too late. He had Tim by the throat, growling at him like he was about to rip his throat out.“Sophia, it's ok. Don’t move or say anything. He will calm down, just give him a second.” Tim’s voice said in my head. Doing exactly what Tim told me to do, I didn’t move.“Where are yo
Sophia’s POVI wasn’t sure how many hours had passed, but Derek had finally fallen asleep, my broken mate in my arms like a little child every time I thought about our son it made me sad, but I knew that he was with the Moon Goddess. “Brooke.” I heard Derek whisper again. He was dreaming about her again. I wasn’t sure if this should be upsetting me, but Brooke had been my friend as well. She had died trying to save me. Now her mate was never going to know her. That was going to have to change. I would tell him everything about her and let the others tell him everything that he might want to know as well.“You weren’t meant to go, Brooke. You were going to help me with the wedding and be her bridesmaid.” He whimpered.“See, he does love us, Bria.” She hadn’t said a word to me in hours.“I know he does, but what about Jerek? Derek has locked him away where I can’t reach him and I don’t know if I want to reach him?” We were both so torn about what had happened. But at the end of the day
