As the moon reached its highest point, casting a strange glow over the area, a sudden silence fell upon the main pack. Little did they know, the vampire coven had found out where they were and planned a merciless attack. In the darkness, a cold breeze whispered through the trees, carrying a feeling of danger.Tyler, standing at the front of his ready army, sensed the approaching danger. He quickly looked around, searching the shadows for any sign of the enemy. Moon light shown on their skin as they set in for the impending battle. He had already received the message of the bomb blast attack on the grove a few days ago and he had readied his men for any attack that would happen to the main pack.The vampires acted faster than he predicted. They had come to attack the main pack just 3 days after attacking the grove."Stay alert, everyone," Tyler ordered, "We know what's coming. Get ready to protect your families, your loved ones, your memories and your home."There was a large number of
Jaxon walked into the poorly lit cave where his father took as a hideout. The rocks were wet but the walls were warm enough to keep them from shivering from the cold.Jaxon looked into Pablo's tired eyes, showing a hint of worry."What news do you have for me, my son?" Pablo said as he roasted a fish with the wildfire he made."Father," Jaxon said urgently, "Rex is dead. The pack is in chaos, and we need to figure out what to do next."Pablo's expression hardened, realizing the seriousness of the situation but then he smiled mischievously. "That's too bad," he replied. "Rex was a strong and capable leader. I remember when I fought for his army…" He looked up as if basking in nostalgia but then he pulled his thoughts together, "His death creates new opportunities for us."Jaxon leaned closer to him, speaking quietly. "Tell me, Father. What's our plan now? How do we move forward?"There were footsteps behind them and Jaxon instinctively held his dagger in his belt buckle, ready to strik
Jaxon looked around for Tyler as he slaid down bodies of vampires. His eyes landed on Erik and he fought his way to meet him."Hey, where's Tyler?"Erik looked at him impatiently and replied, "The General has been injured. He's there." Jaxon looked at the direction he pointed to and ran to meet him. Violetta sensed a presence behind her and she quickly released her claws and jumped to her interlocutor. Jaxon raised his hands up in surrender and when she realized she was one of them, she sighed and went back to Tyler's side.The air was filled with the scent of blood and the sounds of fierce growls, but Jaxon's attention was solely focused on Tyler."What happened to him?" Jaxon asked."Isn't it obvious? He was bitten." She answered, irritated by his question."And what have you been doing?""Trying to cure him." She gritted her teeth."And how has that been going?""Look, would you try help him or not?!" She bursted in anger. "I'm sorry…""I need to know the situation before I offer
*Theo's POV*I ran through the thick forest, my footsteps sounding loud as I set my eyes on my destination. I had to make it to the grove as soon as possible so I could find "the chosen one."Unsuspectingly, my eyes caught sight of Sarah and Madam Belinda, who were both standing outside what appeared to be a cottage. I didn't care what they were doing there but I was happy I saw them. The mission I had was very important, and I hoped they would understand how serious it was.When I reached close to the cottage, I saw both of them deep in conversation. Their faces showed worry, just like mine did. I approached them carefully and saw as Sarah's expression changed as she noticed me."Theo!" She light-heartedly exclaimed.Belinda turned around and the same surprise showed on her face, "Good goddess! The last time I saw you, you were just a little boy. Theo, is it not?"I nodded curtly and walked to their front. "It's also a delight to see you, Belinda, after all these years.""Theo, wha..
*Lily's POV* The smell of acid burned my nose. Someone was being tortured in the cave next to ours and my ears had grown accustomed to the screams.But no more. I had planned this for days and I was hoping it would work.In a moment of opportunity, when the vampires watching us briefly left us with a warning, fear crept up to me. It was finally happening. I looked at the lock holding my chains and thought hard about what I was going to do.Drawing on what I had concocted in my mind as a solution, I carefully looked at the lock, searching for any pinpoints. They seem to be have been bonded by dark magic as even the effect on my wrists was stark. They really drained my energy. I used my nimble fingers to gently work on the lock, paying attention to the clicks and movements.Time seemed to slow down as I applied just enough pressure, trying to move the lock's parts. I felt a satisfying resistance, a sign that I was making progress.With great focus, I kept working on the lock, my heart
*Lily's POV*As I approached the grove, my heart sank at the sight that greeted me. The once serene and harmonious place now lay in shambles, scattered with remnants of a fierce battle. Broken branches, destroyed sheds, torn foliage, and the lingering scent of blood filled the air. The training field which I once knew as calming spot now painted a picture of the chaos that had unfolded. I saw a little girl hiding under a dismantled part of the car, shivering in fear and so I went to meet her:"Hey, are you alright? Why are you here." I asked softly.Her huge blue orbits stared at me, "I'm scared…""Why aren't you in the safehouse?""Mommy…mommy is gone…" and then she pointed at an horrific sight. Her mother was laying in her pool of blood which had already turned black in colour, and her head was detached from her body. I saw her a bite mark to her neck and her eyes were completely white. My face contorted in disgust and I held the girl closer to my chest so she couldn't see it hersel
After dressing up and filling my stomach with a piece of bread and some veggies, I went on to find out if it was really Don I heard. I asked a guard stationed in the hallway, "Hey, please, is Don really back?"He looked at me with a blank expression on his face, "Don? Yes, mistress. His room is just downstairs, on the third block."I nodded, showing gratitude and turned in the direction he pointed. My chest beat out for some reason. They were so many questions I wanted to ask him. So many slaps I wanted to give him. So many answers I wanted from him. So so many things.I arrived in front of the door and breathed out momentarily. This was it.I knocked on the door twice until he told me to come in.When I gently opened the door, I saw him sitting on the chair, lighting a cigarette. Everything went silent. The cigarette fell from his mouth and he inhaled the smoke making him cough out.I slowly closed the door behind me and walked up to him, feeling a heaviness in my heart. I could tell
*Lily's POV*I sat across from my dad, feeling excited and nervous. He held his journal tightly, looking serious and worried. I always felt like he was never going to tell me about that journal but now, the feeling was different. He was finally going to tell me the truth."Father," I said, surprised by his words. "Your journal was stolen? Why would someone want it?"He paused, taking a deep breath before explaining. "Lily, I kept that journal because it has information about our family's special heritage.""What heritage, Father?"He prolonged each response he gave me, "We come from a long line of protectors, chosen to fight against the darkness in the world."I pretended to widen my eyes in shock by what he revealed. It wasn't only me this time - Our entire family had a special purpose? It's like every day, a new prophecy comes in to broaden and further complicate the big picture. It was hard to take in all at once."But why would someone steal it, Dad? Who wants to know about our fa
