2024-10-29 19:42:56"Are you sure about this?" demanded Alpha Luca while fondling the tip of the TV remote he was holding. His pleading tone was aimed at persuading Romeo to reconsider his decision.
Alpha Luca, Lord Valentine, and Romeo were in Luca's mansion seated in his living room.
Romeo had already made up his mind but Lord Valentine was hesitant yet he wouldn't want to let his friends down. They were like brothers after all and backing out at that moment would seem like cowering in the face of danger.
"You know you've got history with them right?" Alpha Luca pointed out after switching on the TV and Lord Valentine nodded in agreement.
Romeo was silent and his bloodshot eyes were fixed on the TV even though he was looking at nothing in particular. Lord Valentine's indecision was justified. He would confidently wander across different realms but a shape-shifting realm is a place he wouldn't want to toy with especially after his last gruesome encounter.
A century ago, Lord Valentine embarked on a deadly quest to the shape-shifting realm. It was his first visit. The visit was triggered by revenge after he got into a fight with a group of men from the realm and when Romeo and Luca warned him to let the issue wane, the hot-headed Valentine wouldn't oblige for he always found confidence in his powers but if only he knew that the shape-shifting realm was the trickiest of all the supernaturals.
When Lord Valentine got to the shape-shifting realm, he identified the men he was seeking and after about an hour of bloody tussle, the men turned out to be something else. He later realized that he had been wrestling the leader of the shape-shifting realm for the men he was sought for took the form of their leader and he launched an attack on their leader thinking he was one of them.
With the support of his people, the leader of the shape-shifting realm overpowered Valentine. He was then tortured and hanged with his face down and the blood in his body was being drained slowly. He had begun to turn white and just when a dagger made from an oak tree was about to be inserted into his chest to plunge his heart, Romeo and Luca intervened and his anticipated years of agony or worse still death was averted. The three men all escaped after a bloody battle. Luca will always recount the battle as a fun-filled one.
"I'm not even sure if I can do this but I have no choice," Valentine stated with his face cupped in his hands. Even though he was undecided, he would rather embark on another journey to the shape-shifting realm than be considered a weakling.
"Are you a scared hybrid?" asked Alpha Luca with his eyes fixed on him. Valentine. He then smirked and chuckled after crossing his legs.
"You want your heart ripped out of your chest?" retorted Lord Valentine with a stern look.
Lord Valentine's countenance changes whenever his abilities are demeaned and he wouldn't waste a single moment taking one's head off to prove his point.
"I'll go alone." volunteered Romeo after noticing the banter between Valentine and Luca.
Luca swung his head from left to right in disagreement. "It's too risky," he replied, hitting the back of the remote which was faulty.
"Romeo, you can't go alone." objected Valentine. "I agree with Luca. It's very risky," he added, nodding repeatedly as flashes of his deadly experience at the shape-shifting realm ran through his mind.
"We just found you." maintained Luca. He smashed the remote against the wall and it broke into pieces. It wasn't working. "Those guys that abducted you might be out there." he outlined and immediately sprung to his feet.
"I'll be coming with you." offered Alpha Luca.
"Seems like wolfie is ready for a fun chase," commented Valentine while resting his back against the couch.
"I'll be going with him and just the both of us will leave," suggested Alpha Luca. "Valentine you stay here and be a good little boy," he instructed like a parent will tell his child.
Valentine fumed and grabbed the flower vase on the table beside him. He threw it aiming for Luca's face but he wasn't lucky. Luca caught the vase and placed it in the spot he earlier sat.
"This vase cost a fortune." Alpha Luca warned.
"I'll come with you guys." Lord Valentine implored.
The two mems rejected his offer. They were concerned about his mental health, that is if mental health might be a thing of implications for him. His previous experience was deadly and they wouldn't want him to recollect that. Unlike him, they had no enemies in the shape-shifting realm and they felt his presence might generate more chaos.
"Let's go." Alpha Luca told Romeo after grabbing his jacket from the arm of the couch. Both men left the mansion and set out for the shape-shifting realm.
Shortly after they left, Hera walked into Luca's apartment and met Valentine sprawled on the couch. On the stool beside him was a bottle of vodka with a glass beside it. Half of the alcohol was already consumed by him.
He looked as if he was dozing off when Hera walked in. "Real men don't sleep." she taunted slapping his back. "Are you sure you are a hybrid?" she added.
He jumped out of the couch and pinned her to the wall in a flash. "Real women don't awaken hybrids from their slumber," he replied, denying her the liberty to move. He was in control of both her hands.
She smiled and nodded and just when his grip on her was loosening, she freed herself and tried pinning him to the wall exactly the way he handled her but she couldn't. He was too strong for her. He immediately returned her to her former position.
"You don't listen. Do you?" he warned with a stern look opening her arms wide. "Trying to play games with me?" he asked her.
"This should have turned me on but you are such a bore," said Hera while licking her lips. He was still pinning her to the wall.
"How about this?" he inquired after bridging the little space between them with his body. Her bosoms were stroking his chest.
He stared directly into her eyes and she reciprocated. He then heard the footsteps of someone approaching the living room and he quickly returned to the couch leaving her breathing heavily but regularly.
Meanwhile, Alpha Luca and Romeo were sitting parallel to one another in the car. Romeo was driving them to the shape-shifting realm.
"How did it happen?" demanded Luca while turning down the volume of the radio. He was referring to Romeo's abduction.
"I have no idea," replied Romeo while taking a sharp turn.
"I can't even remember how it happened. Everything happened so quickly. It was almost as if I was in a trance. I don't just get it." he revealed, sounding pissed.
"They don't know who they are messing with." Luca started fixing his eyes on the road.
"When I get my hands on them, I will snap every living breath out of them." threatened Romeo. He was referring to his abductors.
"Not before I get them first." Luca retorted and winked.
"We are almost here," announced Romeo after bringing the car to a halt.
Romeo stopped the car in front of a store. "I need to urgently get something," he informed Luca and quickly stepped down from the car before Luca could ask what it was that he needed to get.
Luca heaved a deep sigh and tightened his fist as he thought of blood to be spilled excited him. He was already imagining the bodies he would litter in the shape-shifting realm when the need arises.
" Let's go," Romeo said after stepping into the car. He had returned from the grocery store and was seated in the car.
"I wouldn't hesitate to give them a show when the need arises," vowed Luca while showing his tightened fist to Romeo.
Romeo was as silent as a tomb. He was starting the car and Luca concluded that there was no need to bother him with small talks for he must have enough on his plate already.
After starting the car, Romeo turned the car taking another route. Luca was astonished by the act.
"Romeo, what are you doing?" demanded a confused Luca." Why are you changing direction?" he further asked.
"I've changed my mind," replied Romeo.
"What?" yelled Luca while sitting up properly. Romeo was already driving the car in a different direction.
"I'm no longer going to the shape-shifting realm." Romeo blurted much to Luca's surprise.
"You must be joking." Luca fired back but Romeo wasn't. He kept driving the car in the new direction he took.
Alpha Luca was suspicious and he assumed that something was wrong. He began dragging the wheel of the vehicle with Rome and he successfully managed to hit the break hard thereby bringing the car to a stop.
He stared deeply at Romeo and discovered that the Romeo who got into the car wasn't Romeo but a shapeshifter pretending to be him.
"Shit" he cursed.
Alpha Luca was utterly dumbfounded to discover that the person in the car with him wasn't Romeo but another shapeshifter who had taken the form of Romeo. The real Romeo was still back at the store.

"Who the hell are you?" He asked, grabbing the shapeshifter by his collar. "I'm Romeo." The shapeshifter replied as if stating the obvious. "You aren't Romeo so shut the fuck up." Alpha Luca said, pulling him out of the driver's seat. "I'm Romeo wolfie, don't you recognize me," The shapeshifter said, still pretending, which further infuriated Luca into punching his head against the dashboard of the car. "Who the hell are you?" He screamed at the imposter. "I'm Romeo." The shale shifter kept insisting. "You aren't Romeo." Alpha Luca started and got a laugh in return. "You're wiser than they say you are a big bad wolf." The shapeshifter commended realizing his cover had been blown off by the Alpha. "What the hell are you doing here?" Alpha Luca asked, pissed at the fact that he was almost fooled. "Pretending to be Romeo I presume." The shapeshifter teased wiping off the blood on his head which has now spilled over the dashboard of the car. "What the hell." Alpha Luca growled,

Ryan stormed out of the cell and headed for the main quarters where Alpha Luca's study is located. Nothing pissed her as much as how Alpha Luca reacted to the situation at hand. She was used to Romeo being how he is, but she didn't expect Alpha Luca to vent his anger on her that way. "What did I expect though?" She muttered to herself and chuckled. "Not like I am anything special to him, so why would he care about how I felt?"She sighed and a hiss came out of her mouth before she could even think it through. She had had feelings for Alpha Luca way before anyone could think about it. It's been years and she still does. That was why aside from being his Beta, she was always ready to defend him and to stick to his side in case of anything. Her feelings for him had grown through the years, and it was only hurtful for her when after all those years, the feelings still haven't been reciprocated by him. "All he does is shout at me and order me around." She muttered again and hissed. As she

In a room barely illuminated except for the burning candles around, was a group of seven people: men and women dressed alike. They were all dressed in black gowns with capes and were gathered around a table.The cabin was near a lake and was covered by a thick forest. The niche was as silent as a tomb except for the rustling of the leaves and the sound of the cold breeze romancing the lake.A young man of about twenty-five years of age walked into the room with his face slightly covered by a hat. He was wearing the same black gown as the members of the group. "The witch is here but she wouldn't step in.'' he announced, clearing out his gray hat. The people around the table greeted one another with congratulatory smiles upon the announcement of the witch's arrival."Bring her in." directed the man seating in their middle in an authoritative tone. On both sides were three people each. Both his hands were stretched forth on the table. About forty years of age, he is the leader of the cu

"I need that witch back here at all cost. She couldn't have gone far." growled the cult leader. "Not in her state" he added with a smirk. He knew she must be running out of blood and the herbs were possibly taking effect in her system."Look for her. She hasn't gone far." he confidently stated and moved towards Cassie.The men he had earlier sent to seek the witch nodded in understanding and made their way back to the forest.After the witch ran out of the cabin earlier, she managed to cast an illusion spell that lasted for a few minutes. When the men assigned to recapture her stormed the forest, they saw a space even though she was within their reach, covered by her magic. They assumed she had escaped and they went back to report to their leader. After noticing that the men had turned around, the witch stood up and continued running for her life. She ran for about two minutes and fell to her knees. She was very weak. She crawled to a tree and hid behind it.She held her bleeding l

Alpha Lucas sat wondering if he should take Fredrick's words for it or not. He knew how cunning these shapeshifters were and how easy it was for them to deceive people, he also knew he could be telling the truth and at the same time, he could be receiving them."We caught a shapeshifter the last time we were in your realm, I do not know whatever his name is, but he told us Mario sent him to Lord Romeo's realm to steal something of importance." Alpha Lucas said, staring Straight at Fredricks's eyes trying to detect even the slightest wave or flick of emotion indicating if he was telling the truth or not, but there was none."Mario sent this shapeshifter to steal the coffin of a loved one to Lord Romeo." He added hoping that Fredrick would finally see the severity of the act of the said Mario and extend a helping hand in finding him.Frederick looked deep in thought as if trying to understand what Alpha Lucas just said.Mario had already been banished from the shape shifters' realm havi

Lord Romeo stood there in fear as he stared at the figure before him. He had no way to explain the woman before him, but the fact that she had the appearance of his love, Cassie meant a lot to him as he stared at her.Could it be another of the shape shifter's tricks? He thought to himself as he walked closer to her, slowly. Deep down though, he still felt it was his actual Cassie. Aside from the feeling he had as he looked at her, he knew a shapeshifter of any sort wouldn't dare play with him in such a manner, right in his presence.She began to walk towards him and gradually, she also walked towards him although, slowly. Seeing what was about to happen, Alpha Luca immediately set to action and pulled Lord Romeo backward."Romeo, you can't trust this woman!" Alpha Luca exclaimed, a serious look on his face as he stared at Romeo. His face went from Romeo to Cassie and back to Romeo. "You can't trust her. And besides, it could be one of the shapeshifters, trust me, I know what I am say

"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

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.

"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.

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.

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

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?"
