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.

    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

    Cassie was backing Lord Romeo and was weeping profusely. Romeo could feel the pain in her tears from his sitting position. He moved to her and turned her around to face him. "I'm sorry." he apologised and began wiping the tears streaming down her cheeks. "I know you hate me." he acknowledged with a repeated nod. Lord Romeo had assumed that what he feared the most had happened. He wouldn't be surprised if Cassie decides to break up with him. The Cassie he knows is a soft and fragile being and will never tolerate inhumanity. "I don't hate you," she said and sat up. "Are you serious?" "I am, Romeo. I don't hate you." "We all are the same," she said. Romeo was confused. He had no idea what Cassie meant by saying they were alike even though she was a vampire now. Cassie was no longer crying. She placed her back on the wall and sighed with her gaze fixed on the door. "I've done terrible things to

    Early the next morning, Alpha Luca, Lord Valentine and Hera were set to head to the shapeshifter's realm. They were engrossed in a heated discussion and didn't notice as Ryan walked over to them."But I understand why people would act that way. Why don't they just turn up with their chests and admit that this is what they want? Must they have to go through someone?" Hera replied, telling them her take on whatever thing they were discussing."If I were a villain too, I wouldn't do such. I wouldn't want them to know my plans or to see me immediately after I get there. That means I'd also try to first and hide and probably disguise like someone else too, so as not to bring about suspicions and so as not to let them know my plans." Alpha Luca replied and shrugged.Lord Valentine paused to look at him as he folded his hands and shook his head. "You should have been a villain, instead of the Alpha, honestly.""You get?!" Hera replied as she tapped Lord Valentine's shoulders continuously, la

    Ryan moved on her bed for the umpteenth time that night, thinking about everything going on. She was extremely worried about her lost memories, and as if that wasn't enough to worry about, she has not been feeling herself since her return."Why do I feel this way? Damn."She stirred on her bed once again, and at that moment, her mind drifted to the kiss she shared with Alpha Luca. It was only a couple of hours since she returned, but she couldn't sleep properly that night, thinking of the kiss. Although she was tired and needed sleep, she wasn't able to, which made her even more worried.She touched her lips with her right hand as her mind went back to the kiss they shared. She had enjoyed the feeling that came with it, and how he had kissed her softly and gently. She never wanted the kiss to end and while it lasted, she enjoyed it so much. Then, her mind flashed back to the whole thing, as if she was there once again.Alpha Luca had grabbed her waist and quickly backed her up against

    "I must do this," Hera said and heaved a deep sigh. She felt that something was wrong with Ryan so she decided to take action. It was around 6 am. She made her way to her brother's room still dressed in her night robe. Alpha Luca was in a deep snooze. "Who is that?" he said while rubbing his drowsy eyes vigorously. Hera had been knocking heavily on the door to his chamber. It must either be Ryan or Hera he thought and stood up. He jumped out of the bed, unlocked the door and ushered Hera in. "I woke you up. I'm sorry," she said and sat by the edge of his bed. "It's okay." Alpha Luca sprang back to his bed and stretched forth his legs. "What's the emergency?" he demanded after yawning. "Ryan." she blurted. At the mention of Ryan, Alpha Luca's heart skipped a beat. Did Ryan mention anything to Hera about the kiss? he wondered and lowered his gaze. His sister noticed his tension and smiled inwardly.

    "Hi." Ryan managed to say after Alpha Luca called out to her. "You are in my room?" he asked and then thought that he must have sounded rude. "I'm mean how comes you are in my room," he stated trying to hide his surprise. "I don't even know what to say." Ryan slowly replied and shook her head. "How did you get in?" Alpha Luca asked fixing his gaze on the door. "It was locked," he added. "I don't even know." "What?" "I don't even know how I got in here," Ryan said and lowered her head. Alpha Luca nodded repeatedly. "This is strange." "Very strange." Ryan agreed. "You know what's more strange?" she continued. "I was on my way to the kitchen to drop off the dishes I used in eating and then boom I'm here." Alpha Luca gave her an unusual stare. "Sounds Stupid right? The last thing I remembered was getting to the kitchen. I haven't even gotten there yet and then I found myself in your room, on top of yo

    1 year later."Cassie, are you ready?" Romeo called, taking another glance at this wrist watch. He would never understand what it was about women and preparing. One would expect Cassie to be different because she wasn't a modern woman, but the following months after they had defeated Pete, the two went on to get married and Romeo had taken Cassie to Earth for their honeymoon. He had taken her to all the beautiful places, and to try out all the amazing foods, one thing Cassie had also picked up was the fashion sense of the women of the twenty-first century.At first she had expressed her strong dislike for it, as long as her shock. She would always call every woman she saw in dresses that revealed their cleavage, shoes that showed their ankles, or dresses above knee-length a prostitute, Romeo had to teach her not to call women that, letting her know that time had changed and fashion sense had also. Though, she still called it nonsense most of the time, Romeo could see her slowly taking

    Alpha Luca still lay on the same bed, while the witches performed the ritual, with Ryan by his side. She had refused to leave his side. She sat down on the bed beside him, holding his hands. The witches had tried to get her to leave several times, but she refused.The others have gone to wait outside the room, waiting for good news, nothing else but good news.Cara frowned as she watched the Queen, who was holding Alpha Luca's free arm while muttering a spell under her breath, she could see the look on the Queen's face, she didn't need to ask before she knew there was no improvement. Cara didn't understand why it was so difficult to bring him back, they have done the spell several times in the last hundred years, it was one of the first spells that every teenage witch would learn once she got into high school, but if the Queen herself couldn't do it, then Cara didn't think any other person could."Well, isn't this just great," a friend of hers whispered in her ears. "From one problem

    "What are we going to do? We can't just sit and watch her die," Alpha Luca said. "Come on," he faced Cara. "Surely there's something you can do, try again.""We've tried...If Pete was alive, we would have been able to do something, but now that he's dead. It's...I don't know. We'll see what we can do, we will try our best.""You have to, s-she can't die.""She won't die, Luca," Alpha Romeo said, placing a comforting arm on his friend's shoulder. "I'm sure we'll find a way, even if we have to turn the world upside down to find a cure for her, we will. Okay?""Yes," Cara assured him. "We will try our best." They were able to talk Alpha Luca into leaving the room so he could give them the privacy they needed to perform the ritual. Ryan was laying on her back, staring straight up at the ceiling, she was the only one in the room at that moment. She could hear voices talking just outside the door, she couldn't recognize them, so she knew it was probably the witches. She couldn't hear the w

    "I'm going to rip your heart out and kill you at this spot today! No going back!" Alpha Luca shouted, glaring at Pete, who lay on the floor in a pool of his blood. He was still alive, but he was in serious pain and he had lost a lot of blood due to the way Alpha Luca had pounced on him.He was about to do what he had just said, when he suddenly stopped, as soon as he heard what Pete just said. He tried so much to not believe it, hoping it wasn't true. He was not ready to lose Ryan, not now, not ever and the thought of her dying scared him a lot. Yet, he couldn't just believe the rogue before him, as he could only be trying to blackmail him into not killing him."What did you just say?" Alpha Luca asked Pete, making sure that he heard what he said right."I said no, you won't! You can't kill me! Because by killing me, you're only going to kill Ryan!" He blurted out as he spat out the blood at Alpha Luca's cloth. This irritated Luca so much, which pushed him to hit Pete's stomach with h

    "Well, well, well," Pete said with a mischievous smile as he stood up from the chair he was sitting on. "If it isn't the dangerous trio, Lord Valentine, Lord Romeo and the one who betrayed me, Alpha Luca." He said the last part and giggled, as he stared daggers at Alpha Luca."Betrayed you?" Alpha Luca said and folded his arms. "I betrayed you, or it was you who betrayed me?"Pete acted like he didn't hear what he said, so he just walked around his chair slowly as he stared at the trio, who were about five feet away and were also staring at him. "I had a feeling you would find me sooner, but it was a shame. I was disappointed that you didn't. I guess you three are getting old after all," he said and chuckled, trying to trigger them to get angry or something. Meanwhile, the trio just stood there staring at him. They were still shocked to see him alive, most especially Lord Valentine. Seeing that they didn't say anything still, he continued. "You three were a bit slower than I thought.

He went into the house and when he walked upstairs, he heard the sound of water flowing from the shower. He t

    As soon as the doors of the escape room closed, they realized they had only gotten themselves into more trouble, seeing that there was no way out of it. First, they shouted, but it was only echoing inside the room. Their voices could not reach outside."What is this we have gotten ourselves into?" Lord Valentine asked as they all wandered inside the room. He hit his leg on the walls of the room, but nothing came out of it."Fuck!" Alpha Luca growled as he hit his leg on the walls of the room in anger. Still, nothing moved and nothing changed."Uhm, guys?" Advika called, a look of fear appeared on her face. They didn't give her attention at first, as they were focused on how to leave the room they found themselves in. "Guys!" She exclaimed the second time and with the loudness of her voice, they were able to hear this time, as they turned to look at her."Yes, Advika?" Hera answered, same with the others.This time, she even looked more worried, and she was beginning to look pale with

He asked."We found him on our way here, we took him with us so he can lead us to thei

    When they succeeded in dispelling the dark spirits they'd invoked, the witches fell weakly to the floor.Cassie had also fallen unconscious. Some of the witches outside of the coven who'd been patiently waiting for the success of the ritual heard the thuds and rushed in.They picked each of their sisters and took them back to their rooms, they tended to them throughout the day until they regained their strengths.Cassie was also taken back to her room, she was unconscious for the greater part of the day, she woke up in the evening.She opened her eyes in her room, looked around, and saw she was surrounded by Cara, the witch leader, and two other witches. Cara and the twenty-three other witches regained their strengths and had taken turns in watching after Cassie for the first sign of recovery.It was Cara and the leader's turn with the two other witches when Cassie woke up.She yawned weakly and sat up on the bed."Cara, what's going on?"
