Czar had been magnated by the noise from the tavern and rushed in to see what was happening. He was flummoxed to find the flagons running out the door, as tho, they were being chased by death. He scanned his eyes around and it didn't take him a second to notice the cynosure of the tavern. He saw three of his guards down on the floor, with the fourth one being held by a certain man. The young man had his fangs going deep into the hollows of his guard's neck. Jaha believed he was a vampire, but when he saw his claws....he grew perplexed. Vampires could never have claws. So, how was the man in front of him having both? Slowly, the truth began to dawn on him. The realization was like a sudden burst of light, illuminating the blank corners of his mind and bringing confirmation to his thoughts. A man with fangs and claws. Only one man in the history of the world has been able to possess such qualities. One man that was a hybrid and regarded as a demon.The thought made Czar's heart clench

Masha's eyes were heavy with exhaustion as she sat on the small rickety stool in the cramped room. The air was thick with the heavy scent of herbs that suffused every corner of the room as the old man's hands deftly applied a mixed portion on Czar's wounds. His daughter stood behind him, holding a tray of various herbs and awaiting the next request from her father.  Masha was so tired and badly wanted to sleep, but she didn't trust the people enough to close a lid in that situation. Although, they seemed to be helping Czar, she still couldn't trust them.  She looked around the room, wondering if they'd be passing the night there. The room itself was dimly-lit, with just the shimmering glow of a candle casting eerie shadows on the wall. It was quite small and cramped, Masha imagined it being a little uncomfortable for herself and Czar.  She watched in silence as the old man worked, her eyes fixed on the gen

That was one question Masha had been dreading. She had feared Czar noticed back there in the tavern and wondered if he was going to say anything about it. She's also been thinking about it. She remember vividly that she had seen anger flash in Jaha's eyes when he turned at her at first and was surprised at the way he had halted without hurting her. She really couldn't understand why he acted that way. Did he perhaps, know she had something to do with his escape?She looked at Czar and met his cold gaze. He was obviously still waiting for an answer. "I ... I don't," she stammered. "I mean, of course, I do know him as Jaha, but I have no idea why he had halted that way."Silence descended upon them, but Czar kept staring at her. This made Masha uncomfortable. Finally, he looked away from her and hear her heave a deep sigh of relief Getting used to the silence, Masha's eyes would start drifting close again. She was very tired and needed a lot of sleep. As she dozed off, Czar found h

Three days later, Masha and Czar arrived at the gates of the place. The healer had been surprised when Czar told him to ride towards the palace. He thought he was just an ordinary man in the pack and wondered what business he had with the palace. He concluded he was probably a guard. However, when they got to the gates and when the guards scrutinized the carriage, they expressed shock to see it was Czar. "My Prince!" They lowered their heads at once. They were utterly confused because the prince had left in a royal carriage, and they didn't expect him to return in something like that.The healer was baffled when he heard the way they addressed the young man in his carriage. Who was a prince?Signaling the guards to step outside, the healer continued the ride into the palace and stopped in the middle of the compound. Now, he looked a little nervous. Czar and Masha alighted the carriage, and guards came running towards them. "My prince! Were you hurt? Are you okay?" The leader amo

"Are you sure about this?" Louise asked in a tone that was barely above a whisper.She kept looking around fretfully, even though she and Sephora were the only ones in the room.Sephora sighed. "Of course, I am sure. Why are you so scared, Louise? I just told you the queen is in support of this."Louise, who was the school's senior captain, was still a little skeptical about the whole thing. Although she disliked the vampire as well and wouldn't mind getting her punished, she had her fears."What about the prince?" She inquired. "She is still his wife, you know? What if he gets angry and tries to punish us for it?"Sephora tilted her head back and erupted into laughter that filled the air. This got the young woman muddled."Are you talking about the prince?" She asked with a ridiculous grin. "The prince hates the vampire more than we do, and I am certain he will not blink a lid even if she is getting burned."She paused and held the woman's hands. "I have told you, Louise, you have
