Prescott stood on the table, close to Queen Zipfara, his hands folded across his chest as he watched and listened to the elders whisper and communicate amongst themselves on the best thing they should do to Casper's body.The first place he had appeared with Casper's body had been in Lily's room. The girl had been asleep when he had surfaced, but immediately he had beckoned on her through their unique mind path, she had sprung up, looking so bewildered when she had seen him, and had almost screamed out in fear when she had seen a dead Casper right beside him.He had explained everything to her of course, the white washed truth though, not wanting to risk Emma's wrath if something went astray with their plan. He had promised Emma not to tell anyone the truth, and that included everyone, including his family here.Lily had believed him, even though she had been a bit skeptical about Casper; for they had all known Casper. He had been an older friend to Daniel and Damon, before he had joi

Queen Zipfarah watched her council of elders murmur and argue amongst themselves and sighed. If only they knew that their input on the situation was not necessarily needed. Before the meeting had commenced, her mind was already set on the path she would undertake concerning the issue; the meeting had just begun to fulfill all righteousness. There was no way she would turn down Emma's request. The girl, apart from being likely the chosen one, had carved for herself a soft spot in her own heart.So, she wouldn't want to let her down, or hurt her anymore than she already was. And although she had foreseen the situation of hurt, she still couldn't help but wonder that the Alpha boy was incredibly stupid. If only he knew. She thought, shaking her head from the left to the right. Time to stop this squabbling. Prescott has to be on his way soon, going back to meet with Emma. And although the squirrel had mentioned the trustworthiness of the vampires, she was still skeptical about trusting

Derek didn't know long he had stayed in his mother's arms, he didn't actually care, not until he heard movements in the passageway, movements that told him that someone or some people were coming to his room. He didn't put it past his friends. What were they coming to meet him for? He thought a bit annoyed, as he reluctantly disengaged from his mother. He had told them that he needed some alone time. So much for alone time. He thought, aware that his mother was staring at him.He stared at her steadily as she stood up from the floor and crossed her arms across her chest."Seems you will be having visitors very soon. I don't think they would like to see an Alpha crying in his mother's embrace." She said, and he smiled, knowing that she was teasing him."Not my business. By the way, thanks mom. You are the best." He stated, standing up from the floor too, not surprised when his mother dropped a short kiss on his forehead."You will be fine, Derek. I trust that you will always find your

“That’s...interesting.” Melvina muttered, obviously stupefied. She couldn’t believe that Ava was mated with a vampire. Was that even possible? How could the goddess do such? Didn’t she know that Agrip wouldn’t be okay with this? Why mate the girl to a creature of more than a thousand years of age, when there were a lot of handsome boys her age? “Are you sure he is the one?” She asked, not entirely believing the whole story. For all she knew, the man had compelled Ava’s feelings towards him. And worse, vampires don’t really have souls and their hearts were blackened with hate and fury. So, how is it possible that one of them should be a mate to one of her favorite people? She most likely wouldn’t allow it.“I’ve never been more sure about anything in my life.” Ava replied, seeing the unsurety and unbelief in the Luna’s eyes, deciding then not to tell her parents about it until she came of age in a month's time. She wouldn’t want them biting her head off, especially her mother, nor wou

When Derek stepped into his father’s room, he took his lips in as he beheld his father’s frail nature on the bed. How had he deteriorated to this in a twinkle of an eye? His father had been full of life last night when he had last seen him. So, what was this? What was happening? Beside his father on the bed, was his mother trying unsuccessfully to control her emotions. Tears were already seeping out her eyes in one or twos. It was only a matter of time of seeing her mate in this condition and she was going to let open the gates. He knew his mother enough, and of course he didn’t blame her. He would be unable to stop the train of his tears if he should see his little witch besotted with such a situation. Looking at his father this way was very unnerving. He walked further into the room, aware that Maya was by one corner of the room, holding Eva on her lap, comforting her. His little sister shouldn’t be here. She shouldn’t be seeing their father this way. With an eye gesture, he commu
