Hera had been staying at Lord valentine's place for a while, since Alpha Luca didn't frown at their relationship, they'd both been more open about it.The both of them were in Lord Valentine's room with Hera perched on his lap, her head resting on his naked chest.She twirled his chest hair as she relaxed listening to him breathing.He had his hands in her hair as he also subtly massaged her scalp, the both of them seemed to be enjoying the silence in their way.Lord Valentine suddenly coughed as he remembered the call from Mr. P and the call from the person he suspected as Pete."Babe, about the call." He said but was interrupted by Hera."I thought we were over this." She replied, lifting her head to face him. "I told you this might just be a prank.""I'm not doubting you, I'm just saying…""Saying what, stop working yourself up over nothing." She replied and Lord Valentine decided to keep his cool.He was thinking of Letting Alpha Luca know about the call and strange text he'd gott
Cassie kept tossing from one end of the bed to another. She was shaking violently with her eyes shut. It was as if she was wrestling with someone just that her eyes were shut and the person she was wrestling with was not there with her. It was midnight. Lord Romeo was earlier lying next to her but had gotten up to use the restroom. Cassie sprung out of bed with a scream. Lord Romeo heard her scream so he rushed out of the restroom to meet her. Cassie sat on the bed staring at the blank wall. It was as if she had seen a ghost. She just had a terrible nightmare. When Lord Romeo walked into the bedroom, he met her sweating profusely looking lost. He rushed to her side and took her into his arms. "What's the matter my, love?" He placed his left palm on her forehead and also felt her cheek with his palms. "You are on fire." He ran to the bathroom and returned with a towel. "Give me a minute," he said and pulled an ice pack from the refrigerator
As soon as Cassie sighted Ryan in the witches' realm, she was extremely happy. She was so excited that someone she knew had finally come to join her where she knew no one. Although she hated vampires, and Cassie was one, she didn't mind because she was aware of Cassie's past."Cassie!" Ryan called when she saw that Cassie was alone. She —Ryan— was allowed to go outside for about an hour every day to get some air before returning inside, to the room she was being kept so they could have their eyes on her.Cassie turned to look in the direction she heard her name from. She recognized that voice anywhere, and she could already tell that it belonged to Ryan, but she didn't know she was in the witches' realm too. As she turned around and saw Ryan waving to her from where she sat some feet away from her, a look of surprise crossed her face. She didn't expect to see her there."Ryan?" Cassie called as she stared at her. She walked towards where she sat to go meet her there. As soon as she go
Lord Romeo couldn't believe his eyes. He thought he was dreaming. Was that Eric standing before him? he wondered and opened his mouth, displaying his fangs. His instincts immediately instructed him to kill Eric. "Son of a bitch." he growled and ran toward Eric. He aggressively grabbed him. Before Lord Valentine could grab Lord Romeo's arm, he had already dragged Eric by the collar and pinned him to the wall. Eric didn't see the attack coming. "You traitor!" he yelled and struck Eric's left cheek with his left hand while strangling him with his right hand. Eric's legs were dangling in the air while he kept struggling to breathe. "How dare you show your stupid face here?" Lord Romeo continued to yell.Lord Valentine rushed toward Lord Romeo and pulled his right hand away from the young man. "What are you doing Valentine?" demanded Lord Romeo. His eyeballs had turned red and he couldn't wait to get his fangs into Eric.Lord Valentine was
Alpha Luca sat staring intently at Eric, then Advika.As much as Advika had been nice enough to bring Eric to him, he couldn't help but be suspicious of the both of them.Just what if they were shapeshifters, he worried, massaging his jaws."You said a shapeshifter abducted you?" Alpha Lucas asked."Yes." Eric who'd been standing in a corner with his arms clasped behind him and his posture straight as an iron rod responded.Lord valentine looked forward. "This is all complicated.""Where did they keep you?" Lord Romeo asked."They kept me in an Underground realm in the shapeshifters realm," Eric replied.The three men share knowing glances as they recalled when Adelina told them the people she was working with had underground bases scattered across realms."How come you were found in the faerie's realm?" Lord Valentine asked."When I escaped from the shapeshifter's underground realm, I stumbled into the faerie's realm, and that was when I found Advika here who took me in and took care
Unknown to the trio, a guard had been eavesdropping on their conversation. He was a spy, not a shapeshifter, but a werewolf. The fake Eric had managed to bribe him with money to spy on the conversations of the Alpha and his friends. Eric knew he wouldn't be in the palace anymore after he had kidnapped Ryan, so he had to hire someone to get the news for him. The person he chose was a new guard that had just been hired a few months ago, he was a driver for the Alpha.The minute he grabbed the conversation. He excused himself for his duty that day and left the mansion. He couldn't afford to make a phone call there, or in the werewolf realm, they had sharp ears and if he wasn't careful, he would be caught. So, he drove over to the shape-shifters' land to deliver the news himself. He had to go in through the back portal, the same one Hera had followed after escaping. It would be stupid to follow the front portal because they had guards watching over there."Where is Mr P?" The man asked th
The dangerous trio; Lord Valentine, Lord Romeo and Alpha Luca had set to work by now. They had begun to search for Mr P's hideout. They separated themselves and searched the palace, the market and even shops around the roadside.When they were done searching and they still didn't see any traces of him, they all returned to the palace. The shapeshifter's lord, Adriel, was also inside waiting for them. He was more than confident that they wouldn't find who they were looking for there, but to avoid fights from all the realms mentioned to him earlier was why he adhered."How was the search?" Lord Romeo asked Lord Valentine as soon as they all saw one another."I didn't find a single thing that points to him." Lord Valentine replied and sighed. Then, he turned to Alpha Luca. "What about you? Did you find anything at all?""Nothing. I found nothing." Alpha Luca replied. His face was filled with anger because of the stress he had gone through that day, searching for Mr P."What do we do next
Just as the witches suspected, the wizards came back but couldn't enter into the witch's realm as the witches had already doubly sealed their borders.They couldn't gain entrance so they decided to camp outside of the witch's realm waiting patiently to gain entrance.They waited a while and soon gave up waiting, they began to cast spells and make incantations but the witches were alert and counter-attacking all of their trials.It was more like a thug of war between the witches and the wizards.The witches took turns trying to barricade the spell they cast, whilst the wizards tried using their dark magic but they didn't succeed as it seemed they were on par.The struggle didn't seem like one that would be stopped anytime shortly as both sides were in a frenzy.Whilst this was going on outside the realm, inside of the realm, the witches who weren't helping to hold the wizards back were busy with Cassie. Cassie's situation had worsened, she was becoming more fierce than ever.She was a
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.
Flashback.Hera returned to Alpha Luca's mansion drunk and weary. A party was thrown in the human world and she had gone there to have her fill, together with her brother and Lord Valentine. Alpha Luca was the one who suggested they grace the event since there were less interesting things to do at that time in their realm, so they went to the party and Hera got drunk.Hera left the event without Alpha Luca and Lord Valentine's notice. She managed to find her way back home even though she was in a terrible state.When she returned to the mansion, she was greeted by its emptiness and unknown to her, Pete was in the building. She made her way to her brother's room and fell on the couch and after some minutes, she staggered to the bathroom and turned on the shower.Pete had arrived that night earlier than Hera and had parked his car in Luca's garage after completing an assignment. 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
"Now that you guys are cool with each other, can you both share a hug," Eric screamed from afar."Shut up." They both chorused.Hera and Advika had finally reconciled with their argument and Eric couldn't help but sigh in relief.The ladies were beginning to drive him crazy with their uncontrollable banter funny how he wasn't even in the know of what was bringing about the argument.They continued their walk with the human they didn't kill tailing with them. They rounded a corner and saw the dangerous trio coming toward them.They stopped and waited for them to catch up with them."Any progress, " Hera asked when they got to where they were."Nothing yet." Lord Romeo replied."We have also not found anything," Advika said.They had also not found the underground realm, they were beginning to be weary with their walks in a circle.Lord Valentine saw the human with them and was puzzled."Who is this?" 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?" She was surprised to see them in her room.S
