“Stella is dead,” Ami informed Eero after a long embrace, wondering how he would feel about it.“I know. I killed her,” Eero said, shocking Ami to the core.“You killed her?” Ami questioned, the blood draining from her face. Ami was shocked at how he said it as if Stella’s life did not matter, as if he would do it again.“I thought she killed you. I was mad with rage,” Eero explained himself, realizing that maybe he should not sound so cocky about killing Stella.“Marry me,” Eero asked, cupping her face before sinking to one knee. “Let’s bring this baby into the world, married.”“You know I am pregnant?” Ami asked, looking down at him.“Yes. Wynn told me,” Eero smiled up at her, anxiously waiting for a ‘yes’ from her.“Of course,” Ami said. Looking at Eero, she knew she loved him more than anyone in the world and did not understand her own heart at that moment.“I need time to think,” Ami said and stepped away from him.Eero stood up from the floor and grabbed her, pulling her in for
“Lycan or Vampire?” Jessica asked one Friday evening to Ann that was nose deep into her books.“Neither,” Ann said and continued to study.“Would you like to date a lycan or vampire?” Jessica tried again. “I have noticed a few attractive single men at the council.”“I heard that there are different species, so why only lycan or vampire?” Ann chuckled, raising her eyes from her books.“Ok. What species?” Jessica questioned.“Vampire,” Ann chuckled, “then I can stay young,” she added.“Ok, great. I know this just guy, but he is a hybrid,” Jessica said and walked over to Ann. “Come, we are going on a double date.”“Just because I chose does not mean I am interested in dating. I want to finish my studies without love, thank you very much,” Ann said and dropped her eyes back to her books.“Come on. It will be fun,” Jessica said and grabbed the book that Ann was busy with.“When was the last time you opened a book?” Ann questioned and took one of her other books and filled it open.“Every d
Everyone was gathered in the lycan throne room discussing a plan of action to find Jessica.“What I don’t understand is why would Torvald release Jessica only to abduct her months later?” Wynn raised his opinion.“It does not make sense, I agree,” Deacon said.‘Jovita,’ hear Jessica’s mind link and looked at Deacon, who felt Jessica’s fear a split second before it went away again.“Why is she mind linking you and not me?” Deacon questioned.“It is a trap,” Juno said, having heard Jessica’s plead for help through Jovita.“What does Torvald hope to achieve?” Deacon questioned, frustrated.***“What is your plan? Why did you compel me to abduct Jessica the moment I have her alone?” Michael spat.“It took you long enough,” Torvald said. “You may go and tell them that if they want Jessica, they have to send only her parents.”“What do you want with her parents?” Michael questioned, making his way out of the room that was part of a bigger mansion where Torvald has been hiding, using the hum
“Please be safe,” Soroya cried, saying goodbye to Ondrink.“You have nothing to fear. We are seventeen shamans and nine Shamikas. He does not stand a chance,” Ondrink assured her with a kiss. After agreeing to a plan, Deacon and most of the higher council went ahead to surround the location where Torvald was holding Jessica captive. Jovita cried in silence on their way to where Torvald wanted them to meet him, her mind raising with bad memories.FLASHBACKThe door opened and a tall, strong-looking man without hair walked out with an unconscious woman over his shoulders. “You can take her in.”“Go inside then,” the maid said, and Princess Jovita fearfully obeyed.“Come, hop on to the bed,” King Torvald said, padding his hand on the bed, licking his lips, catching the scent of the wolf, enticing him.Princess Jovita jumped onto the bed against her will and before she even had a chance to be scared, the King sunk his teeth into her neck.‘How is this even possible? Vampires cannot drink
They walked up the stairs to the front door of the mansion, the door already open, Michael leading the way. In the living room, the family of the mansion was having dinner as if nothing was wrong, clearly compelled."Brother, you may leave and tell Deacon to take the higher council and leave or no one will make it out alive,” Torvald said, making it clear that he knew that Deacon and the higher council were around.“The two of you don’t bother trying to mind link anyone,” Torvald chuckled. “Follow me, Jovita. Juno, you enjoy a meal with my lovely host.”Juno tried to ignore his request but was not able to. He put his hand on his chest and realized his shaman necklace was already off.“Looking for this?” Torvald chuckled, holding up two shaman necklaces.Juno took a seat at the table and watched Jovita take Torvald’s hand. Torvald kissed her hand, his eyes on hers. “I have been waiting a long, long time to have you again,” he said, sending cold shivers down her spine.Torvald led Jovit
‘Jovita, my darling. Can you shift and attack him? Is Jessica, ok?’ Juno tried to mind link Jovita but got no response. It reminded him of about a century ago, when they were in the same situation. JUNO’S FLASHBACK CONTINUE Prince Juno went silent for a moment. “Princess Jovita?” She forced her eyes open and looked around her, hoping that he will see what she was seeing, bruised woman and wolves. She looked at the buildings and the entrance of the compound, the mountains, that were barely visible with only the moonlight that brought light to the dark earth, trying to see as much as possible. Jovita heard the voice in her head and wondered who it was. ‘Is that Prince Mano?’ “I don’t think I am getting through,” Juno said to them, but then he gasped for air. “This is bad.” “What do you see?” Ondrink asked. “Nothing. I have not already seen myself,” Princess Jenny said, tears flowing down her face. “Shh, something is happening,” Prince Juno tried to focus. Princess Jenny also lin
‘Think Juno, think,’ Juno thought and returned to his memories, searching for any clue on how to get out of this situation.JUNO’S FLASHBACKBy the time they arrived at the castle, the day walkers were already asleep.“It is important. I am sure they won't mind being woken up,” Prince Juno said.“Trust me, you don’t wake them up for anything,” Shysie said, coming out of nowhere, wondering what was so urgent, suspecting it had something to do with Princess Jovita.‘Well, they don’t seem to recognize me, so perhaps it is something else,’ Shysie thought to herself.“Perhaps the Vampire King could be of help?” Shysie suggested.“That might actually be a good idea, as it is your kind. We are seeking help against,” Prince Juno started to explain.“My kind?” Shysie interrupted, knowing what he was about to say, but played dumb.“A nest of vampires and hybrids has abducted Princess Jovita and a few other lycans. Most likely Prince Mano as well,” Prince Juno explained.“What? How do you know t
Torvald led Jovita out of the room, and it got her thinking. ‘How stupid we were back then to think he was the one that saved me.’FLASHBACKPrincess Jovita put her head side to side, filled with fear, hearing the voice of the enchantress. She does not remember anything that had happened to her and how she got to where she was. She does not understand why she can’t find her voice and was too scared to open her eyes.“Princess Jovita, I am King Torvald, and you are saved now,” King Torvald untied her after the enchantress left.King Torvald picked her naked body up and felt her wrapping her hands around his neck. He speeds back to the castle and arrived before daybreak.“It was overwhelming, but I managed to save her. I will have to hunt down the vampires another time. She is in a poor state,” King Torvald said when he walked into the vampire throne room where Princess Jovita’s family was waiting, never leaving to get sleep.“Jovita!” Princess Jenny exclaimed, crying and snuggling her
