"We were deceived by you, O Lord Dracula and that deceit has cost us our very lives!", the vampire original said. "How many more vampires would have to die before you admit, O Lord Dracula, that you can no longer protect the vampire population?! How many more vampire deaths would make you admit the vampire hierarchy has failed?!", he said.  The crowd of vampires roared in support. It appears they were fed up with Dracula and his management. Their lives and entire existence was nothing to him. They were all disposable to him like pawns in his game of chess with the vampire hybrids. Dracula had been asked a series of questions and he needed to respond. His answers were very important because it could decide if his subjects will continue to remain loyal to hi

 Mary looked at Ambrosia as he uttered those chilling words. This didn't look like a natural disaster. It didn't look like anything of such, instead it looked like something strange creatures must have caused, to make the humans all hide away in their homes. "I don't want to think it is another war between vampires and the werewolves or the vampire hybrids", Mary said. They normally didn't carry out their warfare in the open. It was done in secret, away from human eyes. "They won't be so reckless to fight in the open, would they?", she asked Ambrosia. He knew how the vampire hierarchy worked better than her. "The vampire hierarchy I used to know won't act so recklessly but then before I left, Lord Dracula was beginning to act that way", Ambrosia said. It was the

 Lucas and his brothers had arrived at their penthouse apartment, along with Nicole. They are settled down in its beautiful environment, as Nicole unpacked her clothes into the large room containing Lucas' wardrobe. Lucas was in the bedroom, looking outside the panoramic view of his window. From her he could see the entire city and reflect on what happened on his way back to the apartment. When they arrived at their luxury high rise apartment building, the whole building was on lockdown. The front doors were closed and barred and so also was the entrance to the parking area. Lucas had to come out of the car to identify himself before they could open the gates and let them through. With the security clearance of the building, it was almost impossible for anybody to get it unless they were let in. 

 Alpha White listened patiently to Lucas' narration of the events that happened last night until he finished. A lot had really happened over the past few hours and he dealt ruthlessly with Dracula. "Now I understand the link between the vampire killings and Nicole", Alpha White said. "Your killings were not discreet though, the entire human population of the city were aware of it. They were aware that vampires were not mythical creatures but are real and that is not good for us or for them", he said. "Did you ever wonder what happened to the bodies of the fallen vampires you slayed? Do you know why the humans are all indoors as we speak?", he asked. Lucas hadn't yet thought about that, all he thought ab

 "I want to apologise on behalf of Mildred to you Lucas and to your brothers; Mark and Andrew", Alpha White said, resuming his conversation with Lucas. "I also want to specially apologise to Nicole for what Mildred did and also for her losses. I can see she means a lot to the three of you and so she does to me too", he said. Alpha White didn't really care so much about Nicole, he had no reason to. He was just meeting her for the first time and barely knew anything about her until now. All he cared about was Mildred, his werewolf park and the Vampire hybrids. "Thank you Alpha White. Your apology on behalf of Mildred is accepted", Lucas said. "I am sure Nicole will forgive her in future but she has to earn it by not doing anything that can harm her or put her in d
