FEW DAYS LATER:Rosalie was returning from the training hall when she decided to go and see Venturo. She hadn't seen him during the last couple of days. Walking towards his room, Rosalie heard him groaning. She became scared and thought something was wrong with him.Rosalie quickly opened the door, revealing a half-naked Venturo lying on the bed, with Sophie on his top, kissing him all over his face, neck and chest. Her eyes widened at the scene. She recalled a few days ago, she saw a bruise on Venturo's neck. "What is that on your neck, Venturo?". She asked worriedly. "Oh, just a bruise". Venturo shrugged, looking away. "How did you get it?". Rosalie touched his neck. "Does it matter?". He moved away. "Are you okay?". She grew suspicious. "Yes.. I'm fine. It's nothing to be worried about. Adam pinched me, that's all". He replied rudely. "That was a hickey!". Revelation dawned upon her and her eyes filled with tears. She stared at them in shock. Sophie looked back at her and
Late at night, under the dark, starry night, Venturo was lying on Adam's lap, as silent as a dove. His eyes were fixed at one place. A tear fell from his eye, travelling down towards the bridge of his nose. Adam touched him and took off his jacket, putting it on him. "You're cold, buddy". He said in a soft, gentle voice. Venturo didn't responded to what he said. After a long pause, Adam asked: "Are you in love with her?". It was like he was talking to a wall or something.. no reply. But he still continued. "Man! I've never seen anyone like this before. Now I understand how Uncle Hendrick used to be when Aunt Abigail moved out". "Sophie played a very dangerous game". Venturo finally spoke up. "She drove me away from Rosalie. I always knew she'll do something stupid. The way she looked at Rose was enough to figure that out". "Even then you did nothing". Adam said. "Look, you can't let her go like this. You spent all of your strength protecting Rosalie and all of your love loving he
Later that night, Rosalie finally came back to her senses. She sat up straight and looked around. Natalie was placing clean clothes on the couch nearby. She glanced at her and smiled. "Hey, how do you feel?". "Good". She rubbed her temples. "I have a headache though". "I will bring something to eat for you". Natalie said. "Then you'll take the medicine". "Hmm". Rosalie nodded. "How long was I .. unconscious?"."All day?". Natalie looked out the window. "Yeah.. it's ten in the evening now". Rosalie nodded. "I don't know what happened to me". "The doctor said you were having sleepless nights and depression". She walked at her and sat on the edge of the bed. "I'm glad you're okay now".Rosalie gave a nod. "Can I use the bathroom?". "Sure, go ahead..". Natalie smiled at her. Rosalie got up and walked into the bathroom. She washed up and came back, taking slow steps. "It hurts like hangovers". She groaned."Do you wanna go out, get some fresh air?". Natalie questioned. "No.. I'm
Venturo followed Rosalie into her room. "Rose! I wanna talk".The maid placed the dinner on the table and left the room. Rosalie turned around and glared at him. "What do you want?". "I want you to listen to me and believe me". He said. "I did that mistake once.. I won't do it again". She crossed her arms.Venturo's breath was getting heavy. He walked at her. "LISTEN.. to me". "I don't WANT to". She stepped away. Venturo opened his mouth to say something when a ringing phone interrupted him. He checked his pockets. It wasn't his phone. His eyes widened. "Rose?". Rosalie swallowed and moved back. "DO YOU HAVE A PHONE?". He yelled angrily. "I - I don't". She felt like a deer in headlights. Venturo tried to locate the sound and went into the bathroom. "Venturo! Wait!". She followed him inside. Rosalie tried to grab his arm to stop him but he yanked it away and opened the closet. He shuffled through her clothes throwing them on the floor and finally found the phone. He realized
"No, no, no!". He cried out loud, placing Rosalie's head on his lap. "Please, don't leave me!".The commotion in the house behind him seemed to die down as he sat outside, cradling her. "Rose, you can't leave me alone like this". He said. Looking up at the sky, he spotted the full moon, bright and huge. Tears were continuously trickling down on his cheeks. Suddenly, an idea popped into his mind. He looked down at Rosalie and touched her body. It was still warm. Placing her head gently back on the ground, he leaned forwards as his fangs grew out. "There's no way I'll let you die like this". He then closed his eyes and bit her on her neck, his fangs piercing through her sensitive skin. HALF AN HOUR LATER:Venturo was sitting on a secluded corner, Rosalie's head in his lap. His white clothes were stained with her blood. His head was resting back on the cold wall. Staring into the dark, he caressed her forehead with one hand. Adam, Sarah, Eric and Vlad came running out of the mansio
Later that day, Rosalie was gone out for a stroll with Natalie and Adam. She walked in between them, talking to them. "I didn't saw Eric, where is he?". Adam and Natalie exchanged glances and kept quiet. "Venturo and Eric had a big fight when he came to know that Eric and Sophie worked together to plant suspicions in your mind. That day when you saw Sophie on top of Venturo, Eric came to your room. It was done on purpose. You were feeling really down so he took the opportunity to console you and convince you that Venturo is a cheater. Venturo travelled into the past and he was furious about it. Uncle Hendrick took immediate action and banished him.. forever". Natalie told. "Wow!". Rosalie exclaimed. "So, Venturo.. is not a cheater?"."Not at all. His feelings for you are genuine". Adam responded. "I can play a game with him". She smirked. Adam and Natalie exchanged knowing looks and nodded. "We're with you". It was half past twelve in the night. Rosalie had fallen asleep in Ven
Rosalie washed up and walked downstairs to join everyone else in the living room next morning. She smiled at everyone and greeted them. "Morning!". "Looks like someone's in a really good mood". Adam said. "Do you want me to switch to my actual self?". She cocked her eyebrow. "Definitely no!". Natalie smacked Adam to stop talking. "Are you insane? She finally started acting like the part of our family". "I was just surprised!". Adam replied. Sarah smiled at Rosalie. "Come here and sit down, Rhea". She offered. Rosalie nodded and sat beside Venturo on the couch, eyeing him with a grin. "I wanted to ask, why did you guys named me Rhea?". "And she likes the name too now! Can I worship you, Venturo? This is all because of you!". Adam said. "Stop it!". Natalie was still scared that Rosalie's attitude will change. "Don't worry, Natalie.. I'm not gonna change now". She said. "Rhea is the name of one of Saturn's moon, dear". Vladimir told. "Hendrick's selenophile so he named you that
After bidding goodbye to her parents, Rosalie left the house with Adam and the box full of chocolate chip cookies Bianca baked. Adam and Rosalie enjoyed them during their ride to the hospital. "Do you want to come inside?". She asked as they parked the car in the parking lot. "I mean it's a safe place". Adam shrugged. "Plus.. we don't want these delicious cookies to be left alone, do we?". Rosalie giggled. "Okay". She stepped out. "Leave some for Venturo and Natalie". "I can't promise you". He chuckled. Rosalie closed the door and walked inside the hospital. "Yeah.. so, you have to take these medicines I prescribed regularly so the damage caused to the brain is healed. But if you don't, we'll have to opt for the surgery". Kian talked to his patient in his room. "Thank you so much, Doctor". The patient said and took the prescription slip from him. "It's my duty". Kian smiled. "Take care and don't stress too much". The patient nodded and soon, he left the room. After a while,
Rosalie, Venturo and Adam entered the house, chatting and laughing with each other, seemingly happy for their success. Sarah appeared from the living room and greeted them. "My children are back!". She pulled all three of them into a big hug happily. "I heard the news, congratulations!". "Thank you, Aunt Sarah". Rosalie replied with a grin. "How do you feel about your first conquest?". Natalie asked as she walked at them. "Great!". Rosalie responded. "I'm looking forward to more in the future". "Ofcourse! And I'm gonna be with you, Rhea". Adam said. "I know that". Rosalie gave him a back pat. "If it wasn't for you, how could I fight? I engaged in a boxing game with one of them you know". She chuckled and then turned to Venturo. "And a lot of thanks to him who stayed by my side as my shield". Venturo smiled warmly at her, locking his eyes. "It's my duty, My Rose". Rosalie stood on her toes to reach his lips and kissed on them. "I love you". She whispered. "I love you to
Rosalie turned to Hendrick. Tears filled her eyes as she held his hand gently. "Father". She said in a low voice. Her lips trembled and cheeks soon became wet with tears. "..Please wake up". Hee voice was not more than a whisper. Probably, she didn't wanted anyone to hear or she wasn't able to speak because of her emotions. ".. I - Rhea needs you". Hendrick's body remained motionless while she spoke her heart out. ".. you're a great father and a great leader. Rhea is proud to be your daughter. She's ready to become your heiress but she cannot do it without you.. she needs you to teach her". Rosalie sat beside her Father the whole night and in the morning, when someone knocked on the door, she permitted them inside. Venturo entered the room. "Rose". He ran at her. "You've been sitting here since last night, don't do this to yourself"."I just- I want him to recover". Rosalie bursted into tears, burying her head in his chest.Venturo stroked her back, trying to console her. "He'll
Rosalie was searching for Lucas and Venturo when she heard someone's low voice. "Rhea? Is that you?". She turned to her left and found Lucas standing beside a big tree. "Lucas!". She ran to him. "I did it! I beat him". Lucas stared at her and then suddenly, leaned in for a hug. Rosalie hugged him tightly. "Thank you so much, Rhea". He said."Oh, it's nothing". Rosalie pulled away. She saw tears in Lucas' eyes. "Hey, don't cry, you should be happy". Lucas composed himself and nodded. "I will go see him now"."I used my powers, he'll die in half an hour.. you can go and calm your soul down by watching him die". Rosalie suggested.Lucas' eyes lit up. "That's even better!". "Uhuh- yeah". Rosalie gave a nod. "I should go then!". Lucas said. "As for your soulmate.. he's over there.. near that palm tree. He's been waiting for you and even scolded me that I didn't let him help you". "I'm sorry for that". Rosalie replied. "No worries.. I know how lovers behave". He chuckled. "Anyways,
Lucas took Rosalie to Alpha Steven who was waiting for her in the living room. He turned around as she entered. "Mi amor! You're finally here". He said. Rosalie glared at him. "What do you want, Steven?".Steven grinned and walked closer to her. "Babies". Rosalie stared into his eyes as he lifted her chin up. "You're the most powerful Vampiress in the Lombardi Family and I believe that if I mate you, our children will be true hybrids and the most powerful in the history". He replied. "You cannot do that against my wish, can you?". "I don't need to convince you, Mi Amor". Steven chuckled. "I have you in my house and I can do whatever I want with you".He then looked out of the window. "It's night already and it's a full moon.. it's perfect for mating". Turning back, he glanced at Lucas. "You useless piece of shit.. take her and prepare her for our big night". "Aye, My Alpha". Lucas gave a polite nod. He grabbed Rosalie roughly by her arm and pulled her out of the room. He took he
Amidst the chaos, the once-quiet halls of the vampire mansion echoed with snarls and the clash of fangs against fur. Moonlight spilled through shattered windows, casting an eerie glow on the battleground. Adam, his eyes ablaze with determination, barked orders like a general orchestrating a dark symphony. "VIPER! RUN UPSTAIRS AND GUARD MIA AND NATALIE! I WANT THEM SAFE AND SOUND". He said. Moving forwards, he came face to face with his father, Brett. He looked at Adam with an innocent expression. "VENTURO AND RHEA". He said. Adam's eyes widened. "They..". He looked around and found a fellow vampire fighting. "ANTONIO". The Vampire looked back at him. "What is it?". He asked. "Go into the forest and look for Venturo and Rhea..". Adam told him. "As you wish". Antonio nodded and shifted into a bat, flying away. Adam then turned to his father. Brett was sad and speechless. "Father! We have to fight". Brett gave a weak nod and stood with his son, facing the Werewolves that leaped at
Rosalie was combing her hair in the room when someone knocked on the door. "Come on in, Viper". She said.But it wasn't Viper, it was Hendrick. He walked inside with a smile. Rosalie turned around. "Oh, It's you, Sire". She said. "Yeah.. how you doing?". He asked. "I'm doing great!". She moved towards him and offered him to sit down.Hendrick looked around in the room. "Venturo's room always gave me a different vibe. Some powerful vibe.. and it's yours too now"."Yes". Rosalie blushed. "I'm lucky to have him in my life". Hendrick smiled."Where were you by the way?". She questioned."I was busy doing some work.. making sure no one tries to hurt my princess again". He said, sitting down."Thank you for that". Rosalie nodded. "But the danger is not on the outside.. it's on the inside". "I'm still working on it, dear.. give me some time". He said. Rosalie gave a nod. "Tell me, won't Uncle Jonas be angry with you about what you did to both of his children?". "What? He knows very w
Rosalie lied on Venturo's lap on his bed, half naked. Venturo was sitting on the bed, his back resting on the headboard. He drew circles with his fingers on her skin with a satisfied smile."It was.. amazing". She smiled at him. "Yeah.. mind-blowing". Venturo nodded. "Do you think they noticed my disappearance?". She asked. "No". Venturo shook his head. "They know"."Hmm". Rosalie gave a nod. "You know I'm not a kind of guy that's interested in your body only.. I mean, It's amazing! More beautiful than I imagined but what actually pulls me to you is your heart". Venturo told. "I know, love". Rosalie chuckled. "You would have made a move a long time ago if you were like all other guys". Venturo grinned. "You know me well". "Yeah..". She responded. "I really appreciate your patience with me, Venturo". Venturo sat up straight and Rosalie followed suit. "You're mine, okay?". "I'm yours". Rosalie nodded with a smile. Venturo moved at her and kissed on her forehead. "Do you wanna
