Hera, seeing how things are going and how they were mishandling Ryan, ran to support her immediately. But as soon as she got there, Eric's men came in numbers and tried to attack her."Get her!" One of them shouted and just like that, they all began to fight. It was just Hera against a number of them, so she had to concentrate on them, forgetting about the fact that she was going to help Ryan initially.Hera raised her legs and hit the first man in the face. As the second person came on, she did the same as she also tried to dodge a couple of blows. Another of the men tried to hit her with the back of the gun he held but she dodged it. She fell to the ground when one who had been behind her the whole time hit her. She was about to stand up when another one hit her again, making her fall flat to the ground. Taking that as an opportunity to harm her further, another of Eric's men brought out a gun and tried to hit her on the floor to make her weak, but she was quick to get up this time
"You let her escape, you bastard!" Eric screamed like a maniac at the frightened-looking guards. "We're sorry, but we tried our b-best," one of the guards stuttered. "We're not strong like you, yunno.""Of course, you aren't," he told them. "Weak motherfuckers," Eric muttered. "You're the new recruit, right?" They all nodded. "What world are you from?""The human world."Eric gasped in disbelief. "You are from the human world? No wonder and I thought I was rolling with some bunch of supernatural." His eyes fell down to Ryan. Her whole skin was white now like the whole blood was sucked away from her, her eyes were wide open and her eyeballs were moving around like crazy, she was also muttering some strange words that no one could grasp. "Come, carry her." He said to the man closer to him. "Let's take her back to the base."He nodded and rushed forward to carry Ryan, throwing her over his shoulders. "Where are we going to now, Sir?" Eric didn't reply, just walked past him and began to
The minute Hera verged into the shape-shifters realm, the first thing she did was to find a tree that she could climb, hide in and rest. She was exhausted and wasn't ready to begin a race especially when she suspected that Eric's men would come after her. She wasn't afraid of Eric's men though, the second her fist connected with their chin, she could tell they were humans and were humans. Hera couldn't deny that she wasn't shocked by this news. Never did she think that humans would also be in this, as the supernatural world tried their best to keep the humans from knowing that their world exist. It was why the realms were built, to separate them from the humans, so everyone got to live in peace.She kept Cassie's host to her chest, looking down at the little humanoid doll every once in a while to make sure she wasn't imagining things and it was really with her. Her mind went back to Ryan, the only thing she could think about before she ran away. She didn't know what else to do, but s
Hera headed home trudging along with her the little girl who was Cassie's host.She paused in front of their realm and relieved herself of Cassie's host, breathing heavily at the journey she had made with her.She was tired but confident that she was safe as soon as she got to the werewolf realm.Gaining a little bit of strength, she pulled up the body again and walked in.One of the councilmen of the wolves Tim heard of her arrival by the excited noises the other wolves were making."What's with the jubilation?" He asked."Hera is back." One of the jumping wolves replied excitedly.Tim rushed into the house and met a tired Hera reclining on the chair.She had gone to drop the body of Cassie's host in one of the rooms upstairs so he didn't see it. It "Hera, you're back." He said pulling her into a warm hug. "Everyone was scared for you.""Yes, I am back." Hera smiled lightly. "Where is my brother?""Your brother has gone with the other Lords to look for you in the faerie realm." He r
Alpha Lucas, Lord Valentine, and Hera shared an amused look at how Lord Romeo rushed out with the body of Cassie's host.They knew he was overjoyed and so they burst into laughter at his excited behavior.They made small talks and the glances Lord Valentine and Hera were stealing with themselves didn't go unnoticed by Alpha Lucas.He stood up and decided to give them space, he picked up his jacket from the table and the glass of unfinished wine and excused himself. Lord Valentine couldn't be more grateful for the sensitivity of his friend to what he and Hera needed at the moment, space.He stood up from his seat and went to the seat beside Hera who was sitting opposite him.Hera beamed and leaned on him pulling him in for another kiss, she released him and placed her head on his chest, she noticed how his chest was heaving up and down in erratic movement.She tilted her head and gave him a puzzled look. "Why is your heart beating this fast?"." You." Lord valentine replied. Hera's e
Lord Romeo looked so excited to see Cassie and so did she. They both walked toward each other and hugged each other. Not pulling out from the hug yet, he showered her soft kisses on the face, which made her giggle.He released her and cupped her face in his hands. "It's been a while, Cassie.""I missed you too," Cassie replied and they both laughed. Then, Lord Romeo covered the space between them once again as he pressed his lips on hers. Without hesitation, she gave in to the kiss and kissed him back. It was a soft and gentle one, one that had quite a lot of emotions engraved in it.They were on this when Cara walked in. At first, they didn't know she had walked in. She too didn't want to interrupt them but she had to, so she could do what she was there for in the first place."Ahem," Cara cleared her throat to gain their attention, and only then did they realise that she had walked in already. They separated from each other then."Cara," Lord Romeo called as a form of greeting as he
Flashback"Ryan!" A woman in her late thirties called as she walked around the sitting room of a small apartment somewhere in the woods."Mum?" A very young girl who was about twelve years of age replied to her mother as she walked out from the inner room in the house. "Yes, mum?" The girl, who happened to be little Ryan, answered again as soon as she saw her mother."I was looking for you." She said."I was inside putting on my boots. I want to go to the well to fetch water before it's late." Ryan replied as she bent down to tie the loose lace of her boots. That was the boot she wore whenever she wanted to go the well. According to her, it was easy for her to walk whenever she carried water and in case she fell, she wouldn't hurt her feet too much."What?!" Her mother exclaimed. Then, she looked at a wall clock at the far end of the room. "Can't you see it's late already? You want to get water this evening?""Mum," Ryan called and smiled at her mother sheepishly. "Why do you fear so
Cassie tossed from one edge of the bed to the other. She nearly fell off the bed but was prevented by Romeo's body. He was in a deep snooze. She began to shake violently. She was having a nightmare. Her nightmare consisted of a series of real-life events that she had experienced in the past few months. She was dreaming about the night she was taken, how the cult turned her into a vampire and how torturous the resurrection rite was for her. She also dreamt about the incantations Cara and the witches carried out on her to trace the host in her body. Cassie was having those visions around 1 am. She was lying in bed next to Lord Romeo. She let out a scream and sprung out of bed. Lord Romeo was awakened by her scream. "Come here!" he said opening his arms toward her after sitting up. She embraced him panting heavily. She was sweating profusely and her hands were trembling. Romeo clung to her and was stroking her back tenderly. "I'm here my l
