The knight in shining armorWhen Tys and Lucian got to the cottage, they hid in a bush, some hefty guys were standing at the entrance of the cottage. Tys knew that Hera is in there, her scent is very heavy in his nose and he could feel her aura too. He tried to link her, but it was blocked.He could bet these bastards would have done so many horrible things to her and he wished to God that they have not, because if they had, they are going to get what is coming to them in a minute, he thought, grinding his teeth in suppressed rage."Tys, what do we do to these men at the entrance?" Lucian whispered to him."I will kill them, don't worry, I won't make a sound, we don't want them alerting the others inside, so I will move swiftly" Tys said."okay, I will stand at the entrance to watch your back then" Lucian said"very good" he answered and like a flash, he was at the men's back and Lucian watched as he snapped the necks of each man one after the other, leaving them all to lay dead, on t

Last minute detailsIt has been a hectic day.We all dragged ourselves out of the cottage, Hera in my arms, clinging to me like she does not intend for me to be away from her for another minute.When we had left the cottage, Rudolph was still laying on the floor, groaning in immense pain and had finally fainted. We had left Circe attending to him tenderly.I hope Rudolph would desist from coming at me or mine ever again. In the image I had implanted in his brain, I had made his future clear to him if he tried to attack me or Hera ever again.I had made him see himself being engulfed in a raging fire and being burnt crisply to death. I am positive that the image would stay with him and make him afraid of attempting any hanky panky in the future.He better not try this again because I might have to go back to our pack to contend for the seat of alpha after the matter of Maugrim is settled. I would hate to kill him, if he deigned it sensible to challenge me."my love, are you okay? was an

The castleWe were on the road to Pittsburgh for about two hours. I drove fast with Lucian giving me directions.When we got to Pittsburgh, he directed me to a very lonely path which looked like it led in to the deep woods, so I steered the car away from the highway and drove into the woods.I drove in it for most part of the journey and marveled at how extremely hidden their castle must be. I thought how it is no different from my pack, carefully hidden from the eyes of the human specie to separate the two different worlds.After driving for about up to two hours in the woods without meeting any other car or person on the way, we finally got near the grounds of the castle. Suddenly, the weather changed from very warm to extremely cold. It was a warm day, that is why I dressed light when we started the journey and it was warm some minutes ago, how come it's now as cold as Arctic region now? I thought. That's weird, I thought.I looked sideways and saw that Hera and the others did not

Siblings' love"Arrax" shouted Hera excitedly as she saw her brother. Arrax who hadn't known how much he had missed his little sister felt his heart pound with joy at the sound of her voice.In less than one minute, he registered the fact that she was not the only one in the cell, a woman he didn't recognize was also there with her. She was petite, and very beautiful with blonde hair and blue eyes. Arrax wondered who she was. In the next cell, next to Hera's cell was the most breath taking sight Arrax had ever seen, there stood a man at least six foot five inches tall with long brown hair and the bluest captivating eyes he had ever seen. He was not muscled, he was just lean with broad shoulders, but it was obvious that he was extremely strong and had such a powerful aura about him. He did not look like a vampire, yet he did not look ordinary either. Arrax had never in his entire life felt such a powerful aura from anybody. Who was he and what was he doing here? Arrax wondered.He

The vampire lordAs we approached the great Hall, I felt my heart pound with fear.Fear for how my father would react to the whole thing.Would he be understanding? Would he refuse to listen to reason?Tys continually rubbed my fingers, subconsciously giving me support and lending me his strength. I thought about every thing that has happened since we got here, and thought how it would be a waste of time, if my father refuses Tys help.Yes, he is that proud and stubborn, and even if he accepts Tys help, what about Maugrim? would he agree to a truce in the light of the fact that his daughter is already pregnant. Surely he would not want to lose his daughter's love just because of a stupid beef he has with my father. Surely, he would reason that destroying his enemy's kingdom would alienate his daughter forever. He wouldn't want that, would he? I hope he was at least sensible enough to not to let his thirst for revenge override his love for his daughter.Both my father and Maugrim need
