"Fuck!!!" Esmeray screamed at the top of her lungs as she pulled at her hair to stop the voice inside her head that was seething at her to mark their mate. Brand their name on the Vampire King. What she did out there with Vladimir had barely taken off the edge of her need. And the sinister voice hissing inside her mind wasn't making things easy for her along with Vladimir's scent that she was currently covered in. Esmeray groaned as her head threatened to explode, the foreign voice was too much to handle. She had to figure out a way to mute it before it drove her crazy. Maybe she should start with getting rid of Vladimir's scent. . . Breathing through her mouth Esmeray walked towards the shower, after what seemed like an eternity she was finally able to relax a bit by the courtesy of the hot water. Stepping out of the steamy bathroom she stepped into the walk-in closet. Standing naked in front of the mirrored wall Esmeray stared at her treacherous reflection expressionlessly as s
Slowly nodding Esmeray stood up mumbling under her breath. "I should run and pretend I never met Vladimir." As the words left her lips, a chill came from the bottom of her heart and spread all over her body. The temperature of the room dropped to an alarming point~ Her eyes abruptly scanned her surroundings until they fell on a slim woman standing in the far corner under the shadows. Esmeray stared into her black hazy eyes that were regarding Esmeray as if they sought help. All of a sudden the shadows dancing around the woman engulfed Esmeray like a sand storm. She cried out in pain, her spine arched like a bow as her surroundings blended out with visions of countless nameless faces. It was like someone was playing clips from numerous unknown movies in front of her eyes. Esmeray blinked rapidly to shake off the visions. Was she daydreaming or hallucinating? Were these all illusions or a nightmare? Esmeray couldn't breathe, her body trembled with the intensity of the visions, s
Vladimir was walking on a dicey path. One mistake was all it was going to take for him to lose everything. Vladimir was battling against a being who would foresee his every freaking move. Vladimir knew that the witch who abducted his bride was an Oracle but not any ordinary Oracle. Vladimir had encountered the bitch two times and in those times he had found very unnerving information about her. Oracle's were known for their insanity. Foresight was a blessing and a curse for them. The power to predict the future drove them towards the edge of madness. Oracles could barely focus on the present, their minds were always tangled with visions of past and future. But the Oracle who had abducted Vladimir's bride was a sane one. Which made her even more twisted than any other witch out there. If that fact wasn't enough to fuck him the bitch didn't have a shadow. Before that Oracle Vladimir had only read about the legend of the shadowless beings who were considered a myth in the supernatural
Isak pulled at his shirt's collar uncomfortably. From the past fifteen minutes, he had been sitting in silence with a scentless witch staring at him with narrowed eyes as if she was trying to figure something out about him. Isak had never been in a situation like this before, he felt like a pest she was trying to inspect under a microscope. At this point, Esmeray's behavior had started to make even Vladimir uneasy who was sitting on the chair in the corner glaring at the bane of his existence who was sitting in his chair as if she owned the Kingdom. He was still trying to wrap his mind around what happened between him having full control of this meeting to him having no idea what was going on. The atmosphere of the room was simmering with tension, everyone was wary as if expecting a fight to break at any moment. Clearing his throat Isak gave the witch sitting across the table a nervous smile before he broke the silence and addressed Vladimir. ”Since from the little commotion we had
The Sacred Land Of Witches The Ancient Home of the Guardians of Nature~ "So let's summarize it. Shall we?" Almira said, narrowing her eyes at the shadows. "Proceed." Vincent the Conqueror's emotionless tone echoed in the silent red obsidian rock chamber. "From the most secured Land that stands by the force of six guardian's life forces, a little girl managed to sneak out without anyone's knowledge. And the context 'anyone' includes Ascian the Sane Oracle." Almira said pointedly looking at the shadows where the Oracle was sitting lost in her own world, pretending to be unaware of the chaos brimming around her. "Maeve went out to save her niece even after I warned her not to interfere. She hired a banished witch to do her dirty work and ended up creating a bigger mess for all of us than it originally was." "Step back Almira. Leave it on Ascian. The Oracle will make an example out of the rebellious witch." Almira's brows furrowed at Vincent's warning. Her gut warned her that Vincent
There were a thousand more questions Esmeray wanted to ask her brother, there were a thousand things she wanted to know about him but she couldn't do anything but stand there helplessly and watch him leave. Something inside her clawed to get freed, to go after Isak, follow him to the place he called home, she wanted to meet the woman he called mother. A mother who was so fiercely protective of him. 'Will she be protective of Esmeray too?' A small voice in her head whispered leaving her breathless at the possibility that there are people out there who could adore her. All her life Esmeray had lived on her own. She had always thought that was what she deserved. To be alone... And why wouldn’t she think that? The last family she had, ended up in flames. Because of her, the only father she had was dead. The people who had taken her in their home, made her a part of their family had regretted being generous to her. And they hadn’t been shy to tell Esmeray that she was cursed to bring
All Secrets Are Entrustments.All Secrets Are Told On Their Time. The sun was setting rapidly but for Vladimir every day felt like a year and every year like a millennium. Vladimir had lost someone dear to him. Someone for whom a selfish bastard like him can even give his life. When people die in front of you, then you learn to endure after some time. But when you lose a loved one in the sea of people, it brings remorse and restlessness of a lifetime. Vladimir hadn't felt like a living person in this castle for the past seventeen years. Esmeray had once mentioned that these ancient walls had a calling. She was indeed right. Because with the witch gone Vladimir could feel like the walls were mourning along with him. He gazed around, the walls around him had countless paintings of his bride's eyes. Eyes he had been catching glimpses of in his dreams. . . He still remembered the day he had lost her. It was the same day every flavor of life equaled to ashes for him. And from the pas
Esmeray's heart was ringing in her ears as she stood at the boundary of her mother’s Queendom. Her journey to reach this mysterious Queendom located in the middle of nowhere wasn't that difficult but taking this last step and entering this foreign territory with her panic and anxiety kicking in was hard. Esmeray didn't know what she was doing here, she didn't even have a proper reason to come here. It was just that ever since she had met Isak there was this unsurpassable urge inside her to be close to him. She felt tied to Isak by an invisible bond. Was it because they were twins? She wondered. Esmeray had always been comfortable with being alone. Some days were fine but some days were hard and unproductive. Those days were the house of unspeakable longings and overthinking for Esmeray. Those were the days when Esmeray had always wondered what her life would have been like if she had lived with her birth parents. When she had left the Vampire Kingdom Esmeray had realized that may
