We've been driving for more than four hours and not one building in sight, everything we passed was just trees. I sighed for what seems to be the tenth time today. "You know, if you're bored you could just try and get some sleep and we'll be there in no time" Elijah suggested when he noticed my state. I looked at him and pout then sighed again "I slept for the past past three hours Elijah. When are we ever getting there?" I asked and he chuckled. "We're almost there" He answered and then points to a distance in the forest. I squirt my eyes to see what he was pointing at and then I saw it. Above the trees I could see smoke, probably from the chimney of their homes. My eyes brighten with excitement, knowing I would soon be out of this car. Within a few minutes, we pulled up at the coven. Men and women came out of their homes to see the invaders. Children were clutching onto their mothers skirt, peeking f

Groaning, I turned to my left but immediately held my head from the pain that pieced it like a thousand niddles."Fuck!" I groaned, closing my eyes tightly but it hurts. Everything hurts."Celeste?" A female voice called. I tried opening my eyes but as I did, I closed it from the glaring light of the yellow bulb hanging from the ceiling.I tried a few times before my eyesight adjusted to the light and surroundings.I was surrounded by three people, Hilda, Elijah and a woman with black hair who looks quite familiar."What happened?" I asked, looking at them as I saw the sorrow and relief on their faces.They all looked at each other, contemplating if they should answer or not."You died, Celeste" Hilda said, her eyes shinning with pity."Wh-what?" I chocked out, my mouth running dry and my heart stopped. Literally. I tried sitting up but wa

I curled up on my bed, watching as the rain rolled down the window. I was numb, just staring. I had just witnessed my mates' death, the image of his headless body as it hits the floor and his dead eyes staring at me. A knock brought me out of my thoughts and sluggishly, I got up to open it."Good evening Lady Celeste, the King has sent me to escort you to his chamber" A guard said.Why the hell would I need to be escorted to a room just a few feets away from mine? Nevertheless, I followed the guard in my pajamas as he led me to his room.I stood outside Elijah's chamber and the guard bowed before leaving me standing there. I took in a deep breath before pushing the door open. Elijah was seated on his bed, shirtless might I add. A glass of wine in hand as he watched me come closer to him."Sit'" he said and I did. I sat next to him on his bed.He offered me a glass of wine which I took relu

ELIJAH'S POVTwo days. Two fucking days and Celeste was nowhere to be found. I sat on my throne with my crown shinning under the lights. My right arm was placed under my cheek as I kept thinking of my Celeste was safe.The door to the throne room burst open as my the guards I sent a couple of hours ago to search everything part of the woods for any trace of Her."Sire" They said in unison as they got on their knees and bowed with their right hand pressed to their chest."Speak" I mumbled and they got up. My most trusted soldier, Williams, steps forward and I take my hand from under my cheek ready to listen to the news- hopefully a good one."There has been no sign of her sire.." He muttered and I sighed in defect. "...However, we detected the smell of Rouges and we believe that Lady Celeste has been abducted.""Why so?" I asked and William walk

ELIJAH'S POVI had to call Hilda for help as I have been searching endlessly for Celeste. It was like she had disappeared from existence, no trace of her or Derrick."Thank you for coming again" I thanked the high priestess as we walked down the hall to her room."It's no problem Elijah" She mumbled offering me a small smile which I returned with a nod."See you tomorrow" I said and she nodded before opening the door and retracting to her room.I sighed as she closed the door and my mind once again goes to Celeste as I walk down the hall to my Chamber.Taking off my clothes and discarding them somewhere, I lay down on my bed with just my boxers and with hopes of finding Celeste, I drift off to sleep.****     ***         ****I have been trying to keep down my
