"So, what are we going to do about this?" Hera asked. "We have to find him...and we have to do that fast.""How did this even happen? I mean when Romeo went missing, I understand that they would have caught him while he was drunk," Lord Romeo eyed him when he heard that, but didn't say anything, "but not Valentine. He hardly drinks and thinks twice about his decision unless he's provoked." Though Valentine was the calmest among the Trio. While Alpha Luca went on in his quest of beating the shit out of everyone who was crossing his path, and Lord Romeo went on 'living his life, you could find Lord Valentine in his study, reading a good book, or in his room sleeping. It was one of the reasons people underestimated him sometimes, because of his calm personality—until he proved them wrong. You could never tell his next move, or read his thoughts from his expression, that's what made him even more dangerous when messed with.Hera looked over to Lord Romeo, though he looked deep in thought
Cassie's eyes were glued to the dead man hanging upside down from a hook above like one would hang a game they had just won like he wasn't human, just some piece of flesh with blood. The blood from his slit opened his neck and landed on a bowl. She eyed the liquid substance as they brought it in a bowl to her.Cassie was still lost with everything that was going on. She wanted to see Romeo again, everyone scared her, she trusted no one, it doesn't matter the number of times her abductors tried to make her feel safe, she had seen them murder people like fowls, the only person she trusted, she could trust was Romeo.She would have gone crazy, except for the fact that she knew he was still out there, she just had to find him first. Once the bowl was filled with the dead man's blood, one of the hooded guys picked it up and brought it over to where Cassie was chained. He dropped it noisily before her. "Drink!" He ordered, but she spat at his feet instead."Get away you monster!""You're t
Cassie waited, counting on her fingers, till one hour had passed. The place was dead silent. It was finally her time to make a move. She couldn't stay there anymore, she had to move, and to do that, Cassie finally had to accept the blood being given to her. She needed it if she was going to escape, so she chose not to acknowledge the fact that she might currently be a full vampire at the moment. All she knew was how powerful she felt, such strength that she didn't know was even possible for a man to contain. For days, unknown to her abductor, she had been working on the chains they had her held with. The day when the guard had first struggled with her to drink the blood, unknown to him, a pin had fallen from his pocket. Cassie had gotten hold of that immediately. Her father had been a locksmith, so she knew her way around. But even though she could free herself, she couldn't escape immediately, she was weak. That's why she had waited, till this moment that she was strong. Also, it wa
Pete and Alpha Luca were like brothers. Even though Pete wasn't close to the Alpha as Lord Romeo and Valentine were. Pete and Luca however, shared a bond. Before his mysterious death, Pete was Luca's beta and after he was confirmed dead, Ryan took his place. Pete wouldn't waste an opportunity to please his alpha. He was the ideal beta any Alpha could wish for and Luca was pleased with him. In the gruesome wars Alpha Luca fought and the deadly invasions he led, Pete was always beside him. Whenever Alpha Luca secretly raided a realm to take a soul, Pete covered his tracks even though the ruthless Luca always boasted of not needing any cover-up for he claims to be afraid of no one.Pete was like his shield and when he wanted to be at different places at the same time, Pete represented him and always carried out the assignments perfectly. Alpha Luca wasn't fond of trusting people. He trusted Pete but never told him and when Pete died, he wished he had told the beta that
After leaving Hera back at home, Alpha Luca drove straight to his office.Pacing from the right wall to the left wasn't helping matters, trying to concentrate on getting some of the packing paperwork done wasn't also helping matters.The anger coursing through his veins was making him so restless, that he couldn't even concentrate on anything at the moment.How the hell could Valentine have killed Pete? was all he could think about.Knowing how important Pete was to him, he wasn't expecting Lord Valentine could kill him.And he didn't even know up until he got the video. "How could he?" He screamed, his voice echoing all around the room.He sat for a while and suddenly leaped up."I better go see Romeo before I go crazy." He concluded, picking up his keys.He got to Romeo's realm and without greeting any of Romeo's guards, he dashed into his study."What did I say on knocking before entering?" Romeo asked with his head bowed over the files he was working on.He didn't even glance up
Hera sighed as she paced around in her room. Ever since Alpha Luca saw the video of how Pete died at Lord Valentine's hands, he hadn't been himself. What worried her more was the fact that he had relented on the search for Lord Valentine because of the video.She sighed again as she thought of something bad happening to Lord Valentine. Then, she knew she had to just tell her brother the truth, so he can take the search for Lord Valentine seriously."I'll just do it." She muttered to herself. Immediately, she walked to the exit of her room and headed to Alpha Luca's room.Alpha Luca was seated on a chair with a pen in his right hand when Hera walked in. He was lost in thought that he had no idea she had walked in until she got to his table and slammed her palm on his table. Then, he jerked back to life in shock. As he did, the pen in his hand fell to the floor."You scared me!" He exclaimed as he glared at her."Well, you zoned out. How could you not have known I entered with such loud
When Ryan arrived at her room with a heavy heart, she locked the doors and walked over to her bed, plumping down immediately. For a moment, she half expected Alpha Luca to come down and kick the doors, she waited, ready to start apologizing, but he didn't come. Ryan wondered what her punishment would be. She had just slapped Alpha Luca. Disrespecting your Alpha could earn you years in the cell, you could also get banished from the realm, or served other worst punishments, so she could only wonder which she would be given. Her plan had been simple, try to make Alpha Luca fall for her, and she had used Eric for that. She didn't see it turning out so horribly.How could she let her emotions get the judge her actions? She had asked herself this many times. She had acted without thinking, far from being the disciplined woman she was known for. Ryan knew she needed to do something and fast before Alpha Luca would take action.She rushed to the bathroom, she needed to wash the makeup she ha
"So, do you want to tell me how you ended up half-naked in the shape-shifter realm?" She glanced at him before focusing on the road. "The almighty Lord Valentine..." She shook her head, letting out a low whistle. "This will make an interesting headline.""Stop." He eyed her. "Also, I can't remember.""Are you kidding me?" She asked in disbelief. "What are they doing to you guys' memories? The same thing to Lord Romeo.""I don't know Hera. If I could remember, then I wouldn't say I can't.""Okay."They drove on in silence for a while, with Lord Valentine stealing glances at her every minute, but Hera didn't acknowledge this, if he didn't want to talk, she wouldn't make him talk. "How have you been?""I'm fine. Oh, I forgot to inform you. Luca now knows about Pete's murder.""What?" "You heard me well.""You told him?""Why would I do that? After you left, somehow someone hacked into your system and sent the video to Luca. He was really angry...I swear if you were around he would proba
