Jorish appeared just outside the vampire's den although she had intended to appear inside the building so she could speak to the Vampire Lord Marcus because the day of reckoning was getting closer and they needed to go through the plan before the concert. Her powers were on the fritz because she was running out of her energy source. The beautiful girls she had stolen were quickly reducing daily and she didn't have the time or resources to get more girls whenever she needed so she had to ration the ones she had and absorbed their beauty only when completely necessary.The golden-eyed Witch walked over to the entrance and wanted to enter but she realized that the gates were closed shut."Marcus!"She yelled out for him but he was too far inside the huge house to hear his name but Darius wasn't. He and some other children of the night were on the premises and they could hear her so they walked over to her to inquire about why she was there."What do you want, lady?" Darius demanded to kn
Jorish moved through the halls of Lord Marcus' house trying to get out. She wanted to teleport away but it was still a bit difficult for her to control the exact place she would appear so she decided to use her feet instead.As she moved through the large house, she walked past a couple of vampires who stared at her suspiciously. They didn't attack because they knew now that the Witch had dealings with their Lord and also, they were afraid of her though they would never admit it. Darius walked in front of her and stood in her path to have a word about her deal with his sire."So, you're the Witch who wants to help us grow our hive. When Lord Marcus informed me of the plan, I thought it sounded too good to be true but here you are. I don't have a problem with what you want to help us with but I do wonder why a Witch would want to help vampires enlarge their numbers. If you ask me, I'd say you had an ulterior motive for it. Would I be wrong to assume that?" Darius asked her."It's a goo
After months of attempted sabotage, serious preparations and careful planning and scheming, the day had finally arrived. The day the Saviours were dreading, the day the humans who subscribed to Primo's website were anticipating, the day the Mudders were preparing for and the day Peace suspected to be the starting point of a chaotic future for the entire world. The day of the concert was finally here.So many different werewolf fanatics had travelled from their various countries all over the world just to attend this concert and witness the existence of beings they had thought to be mythical and imaginary. They had seen the pictures, they had seen the videos, and they had listened to the messages that spoke about the power of a werewolf's bite but now was the time to see it live and no one wanted to miss it. Primo's engineers uploaded a software on the site and informed their subscribers and page visitors to download the image of a particular barcode at a particular time and that would
It was night now and the location for the concert was filled with humans that had travelled from all over the world to see werewolves in the flesh. A lot of them were still sceptical about the existence of werewolves while others were full-on believers but tonight, they were going to find out once and for all what the truth was.The location of the concert was at a soccer stadium in Cary called the WakeMed Soccer Park that Primo had rented for the evening and it could contain tens of thousands of people. The Alpha of the Mudders had also included his own special feature to the stadium by building a dome around it so it could be closed. That way, the concert would be more intimate and harder for crashers to sneak into.At both entrances, humans were being let into the stadium one after the other. They all had the special barcode on their phones and with that, they were allowed entry. There were people from all works of life and of all ages, male and female, old and young, big and small
The concert had exploded into a nightmare as thousands of people screamed and ran for their safety but unfortunately for those people, there was nowhere to go as many of them were either caught by a vampire or a werewolf. Jorish was floating atop the stadium and she could see through the dome. She could see her plan playing out exactly the way she had hoped and it brought a smile to her face. The vampires were turning a lot of women into vampires as well and Jorish was gladdened by it because it was good news for her.Meanwhile, the Saviours still had their hands full dealing with the Mudders. Jess, Aliyah and Mira were still being shot at and they had to take cover behind some crowd barriers and it wasn't looking good for them. As the bullets hit the barrier and drop to the floor, Aliyah caught sight of one of it and noticed that it wasn't a silver bullet as she had thought. It was like a dart and it had a blue liquid in it and from the way it looked, she believed that it was a repli
PEACE'S POV...The amount of chaos and loss that occurred on this night was unlike anything I had ever witnessed. So many people turned while others died from the bites, their systems unable to handle the process of the change and their lives got altered forever because of one werewolf's delusion for power. Why did the vampires even do this? Why today of all days? So many things were out of order and it felt so unreal. I knew something was coming but I never once suspected that this could ever happen to the world on my watch. I never expected it to get to this point but it did and it came at a cost that I could have prevented but because of the Witcher's Law, I could only sit by and watch as the chaos ensued.Maximus Cullen, his Luna and his betas had suffered a crushing loss at the hands of Cornelius Primo and his Mudders and they weren't even able to stop his plans. They always knew their lives were in danger when they took it upon themselves to fight the Alpha Mudder but now, th
With their tails behind their legs, the Saviours did the walk of shame after crossing through the hex and getting out of the car they had stolen from the concert. It was clear from the way they walked back to the mansion that they were defeated and it would take a while before they were back to full force because they had suffered a crushing defeat tonight.Jess and Aliyah were the first to go into the house. They turned around to see if Maximus wanted some company but he gestured at them to go and get some rest, signalling that he'd be fine. They did as he said and went upstairs to their room while Maximus kept walking and headed to the back of the house. Mira didn't think it was a good idea to leave Maximus alone at this time because she remembered how impulsive he could be. He hadn't been impulsive for a long time but the amount of loss they had suffered today could make him do something crazy so she decided to follow him to whatever part of the house he was going to.While she fol
Maximus went to the lake around the mansion, to the same spot where he had kissed Allison for the first time after they imprinted. He sat by the lake and remembered that moment as one of the happiest he had ever felt and it made him even sadder that she was gone and he would never feel that way again.Whenever the mate of a werewolf died, he or she would have to get over their death mentally and emotionally before they would be able to mate again. If the werewolf isn't able to heal from the loss, they'll remain without an imprint for the rest of their lives, unable to find their mate to complete their existence. Maximus wasn't an ordinary werewolf; he was a True-born, True Alpha and he was strong not just physically but mentally as well. He knew he could get over Allison's death. All he needed was time but at this moment, it felt almost impossible to not feel the pain and the emptiness left by her absence. It hurt more than the injuries he had sustained at Primo's hands and all he co
