You Rejected Me. Remember?

Polanski hissed at his opponents, baring his fangs at the lycan Queen. According to him, she was the real reason why they couldn’t live in peace. Using his full strength, he grabbed her by the throat and slammed her against the wall.

“You shouldn’t have meddled with our kingdom!” He hissed into her face, tightening his grip around her throat.

“This is our life! Our kingdom! Not your business!” He growled. “Now look at what is about to happen. The werewolves will soon mourn the death of their stupid Queen! You should have stayed like a good little girl in your kingdom, and none of this would have happened!”

Droplets of saliva splattered as he spoke, and the odour of his breath was enough to make her gag. Yet it was the least of Cassy’s concern.

Realising that he was trying to squeeze the life out of her, she quickly started to shift to her lycan, before it was too late. Polanski felt the muscles on her neck grow firm in his palm and the fur grow on the skin of her neck. He found it hard to hold her down as she grew in size and soon a majestic lycan was towering over him, glaring at him in fury.

As soon as Izzy took over, she grabbed the agitated vampire by his neck with one hand and lifted him into the air. His legs dangled in the air as he choked in her hold.

“You were saying?” She sneered. “I’d love to chat, but I seriously don’t have time,” she added right before snapping his head, breaking his neck. Unsatisfied by that, she used her claws to stab his heart and black b***d oozed out of the wound as she ripped his body open. After throwing his motionless body to the side when his heart ceased beating, she attacked the remaining vampires slicing through them along with Elliot and the others.

Ava, Amelia, and Ava’s Grandma continued to fight against their enemies with their magic. This time Ava’s father too joined them.

Cade showed no remorse, and no hesitation as he bit and clawed through the vampires who attacked him and Monica. Monica is an alpha and a hybrid who needed no one’s help, yet Cade simply couldn’t let her be on her own.

She sliced through the chest of one vampire and crushed his heart while another attacked her from behind.

“Monica! Watch out!” Cade was able to shout as he fought against two vampires that were attacking him simultaneously.

She was able to grab the attacker’s hand and snap it, breaking his brittle bones effortlessly. After slitting his throat and separating his head from his body, she was about to stop another attacker just in time. Her eyes glowed red as she glared at the new attacker. She smirked at him. She recognised him. He was one of the rogues who were in the house of horrors. Using her super speed, she dragged the vampire rogue to the side and pinned him against the wall. They had both unleashed their full strength. The vampire thrashed to free himself, yet his efforts were in vain. Monica was way stronger than him since she had intertwined her vampiric powers with that of Asena’s.

“You see, I haven’t tasted b***d yet. But being here is making me extremely interested in taking it,” she snickered as she elongated her fangs, much to the vampire rogue’s horror.

“All of this bloodshed is making my vampiric side itch. Now let’s see how you like being fed on,” she chuckled and leaned forward.

Using her power of telekinesis, she pinned him to the wall so that it was impossible for him to move. Without any hesitation, she plunged her fangs into his neck and started to drink his b***d. The rogue was petrified and shocked. He never thought that feeding on his victims would inflict much pain on them. It was excruciating, yet he couldn’t even react. He was stunned by fear and pain. In addition to that, he was unable to move a muscle during the entire ordeal. When Monica had had enough, she grinned at him, licking any residual b***d off her lips.

“Well, that didn’t taste that bad, but I’d prefer not to do it again. My wolf hates your impure b***d,” she smirked and then used her claws to impale his heart, ending his life.

“Girl? Are you okay?” Snickering, she called her wolf.

“Yeah. I’m fine. I’ll be fine as long as you don’t make b***d a main part of our diet. It’s not that I am not built to taste b***d, but drinking it? Nah.”

Asena’s response made her snigger as she looked around. Cade was now fighting off three vampires, carefully avoiding being fatally maimed by them, occasionally biting into their arms.

“Let’s join him,” Asena linked her. “I’ll tell Aspen to inject his venom into the vampire’s bloodstream. A werewolf’s venom will cause an agonising death to these creatures,” she added.

“Right on!” Monica agreed and rushed towards them.

Miles and the others made sure that none of the enemies who attacked them survived. Within a few minutes, there was no doubt that they were winning. Miles looked around and smiled in satisfaction. He was sure that they would win.

“Nolan, you and Castor go to the asylum. Take some men with you and look for the Royals. I expect rogues to be there too, so be prepared to fight,” he instructed. “Ava, administer the potion to them. The healers stationed outside the palace will have the bottles we brought,” he added.

Nolan and Castor instantly obliged and mind linked some of their warriors. Ava tagged along to take the bottles of potion prepared especially for the Royal vampires. Ava’s grandma and father followed them so that they could lend a hand in defeating any rogues who chose to attack the wolves.

Draven too fought. However, he fought until his eyes landed on the girl he was looking for. He looked around and realised that they were losing. Bodies of his fighters were strewn all over the place, all of them mutilated and up to the point that no hope of healing was left. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted Polanski’s motionless body, lying on the floor, mutilated with animal claws. He sneered, as he realised that he was now alone. He glanced at the dark haired beauty who was skilfully using her abilities. He wouldn’t have to be alone if she joins him.

Desperate, he quickly hid behind a pillar and eyed Monica’s moves. He watched as she skilfully avoided the punches of the rogues and took them down one by one. He knew that she was the one who opened the doors for the wolves. And even when she fought, she seemed to be using her powers which were so familiar to him. She undoubtedly had the powers of a vampire. Which could only mean that he had sired her. Perhaps during the process, she inherited his powers.

Smirking, “Marvelous!” He hissed under his breath. They could have become the power couple of the mystical world, however, now it seemed to him that it was a faraway dream.

But still, he could use the bond he had unknowingly formed between them to lure her into his trap and escape with her. Maybe he could leave the mystical world and settle in the human world with her and start a new life. Maybe then, the kings and Queens of these magical realms wouldn’t bother him, despite the crimes he had committed. He just wanted to spend his life in peace with Monica.

Using his powers, he started to summon her.

“Monica….come to me…” he whispered through an invisible bond that was directly connected to her as he slowly slipped towards the stairs that led to the next level where he could have some privacy with her. He gleefully glanced at the open balcony.

“This is perfect! I can glide out of the balcony with her and land safely in the woods. From there, we will dash out of this magical world and live among the humans.”

His eyes sparkled as he mumbled to himself. Now that he was immune to the sun, he wouldn’t have to worry about getting burnt or being suspected by the mortals.

“Monica… come to me,” he once again called through their bond and waited for her arrival in the room.

“Come… and I’ll make you the happiest woman on earth.” He promised and waited for his charm to work.

Monica started to feel uneasy. A part of her wanted to leave the area. Since the number of enemies had drastically reduced, she stepped aside to catch her breath. Undoubtedly they had won the battle.

Her eyes caught the attention of a flight of stairs on her right. She frowned. She felt drawn towards it.

“What is this place?” She wondered, narrowing her eyes at the staircase that seemed to be inviting her. There was no denying that she felt attracted to it.

“Monica?” Asena called her.

“I’m curious.”

Asena understood what she meant.

“But the last time you did this we got in trouble, remember?” Asena reminded her.

“But unlike last time, we are stronger. We have tamed my vampiric side. Even with all the b***d around us, we didn’t lose control,” Monica replied.

Sighing, Asena paused for a while. She knew her human well. Monica will investigate.

“Whatever you do, don’t get hypnotised by one of them. Especially Draven,” she voiced out her condition.

Heaving a deep breath, she glanced at the stairs. But that place looks so ….. enchanting….

Cade slit the throat of the last attacker and threw his body to the side. They had won. Celeste, Calli and Amelia were attending to the injured wolves with the team of healers who had accompanied the army. Celeste used her powers to heal the injured, accelerating their healing process. Philip and Miles carried the injured warriors to one side so that the healers could do their work.

The bodies of the dead vampires were left as they were. Thankfully, none of their comrades was fatally injured. And even those who were seriously wounded were healed by Celeste.

“We won,” chuckling in ecstasy, Cade glanced to his right, just in time to see his mate ascend a flight of stairs.

“Moni?” He frowned.

“Follow her!” Aspen urged and Cade hastened to follow his mate.

“Moni!” He called, however, she ignored him. It didn’t give him a good feeling. She seemed to be in some kind of a trance.

“No!” He gasped. He dashed up the stairs and ran after her. She was going towards an open door.

“Mate!” He wheezed as he grabbed her hand, right before she entered the strange room.

“I see you have brought my bride to me. That was very kind of you.”

Draven’s sinister voice made Cade freeze for a while on his spot. He glanced at Monica. She was staring at the vampire Prince without blinking. She was undoubtedly under his influence.

“Monica!” Cade desperately exclaimed, squeezing her hand in his.
