210. Planning the escape
And they began running toward the vampire clan, wishing they had wings to make the journey quicker.Right now, they regretted not having studied much ancestral magic.*****"Rose," Olivia called out to her just before she retreated back to her room.Rose sighed and turned to face her."I understand that you’re a bit upset. Being away from your mates affects you, even though you’re human, because you carry their marks. But you’re a doctor—you saw how much Nagy was suffering. We’re doing this for her, to save her life."Olivia was trying to reason with Rose, though she was growing slightly annoyed with what she saw as selfish behavior.They had treated Rose well, and Olivia understood her situation because she also had a human side. Still, her sensitivity toward the topic of motherhood was heightened due to her own past traumas."I’m not upset, just a bit unsettled. It’s probably because of what you mentioned about the mark. Of course, I understand. Don’t worry," she replied, giving her
211. Cutting the ribbon with my mates
She waited until she saw Malla enter the store and then quickly walked into the perfumery herself, practically drenching herself with samples of the strongest, most overwhelming perfumes.Rose ran out through another exit of the perfumery and took the escalator straight down to the street.Her fear of being caught was overwhelming, and her sneakers were practically flying as she dashed for the exit.Three meters, two, one—she made it to the street where cars zoomed by. But instead of waiting for a taxi, she kept walking briskly along the sidewalk, constantly looking back, as if paranoid.She spotted a taxi approaching and frantically waved it down."Please stop, please stop!" she prayed desperately. As if her pleas were heard, the car stopped, and she practically threw herself into the back seat."Take me to the nearest bus station, please," she said.Half an hour later, Rose stood in front of a large bus station bustling with shops, markets, and cafés. Most importantly, it had a term
212. Vampire King
Seraphine decided to fight until there was practically no strength left in him.He hoped whatever had happened to these wolves would pass soon.He had chosen to accompany them personally, setting aside even his duties, because he wanted to strengthen ties with this powerful wolf clan.Seraphine had visited the witches of the valley seeking guidance as the new monarch, and all they told him was that his fate was inextricably tied to these werewolves.He didn’t understand at the time, but when the Alpha twins came seeking his powerful blood for Nagy, he impulsively decided to return to their pack with them.Now, he regretted that decision, wondering if this would become his deathbed.“Hssss,” he hissed at two rabid wolves in front of him.He was covered in wounds, bleeding, and honestly running out of strength.He sidestepped to avoid a claw swipe, but not quickly enough. The claws raked across his shoulder, leaving deep gashes. Seraphine didn’t even have time to catch his breath becaus
213. What the hell was happening now?
When they heard their father’s voice, they wanted to ask him about Rose.Even in the face of death, the only thought in their minds was why they couldn’t feel their mate, why the bond between them had weakened so much it was falling apart.“Rest, pups, you’re safe now. Calm down, let’s go home. Please, hold on,” Lugh’s worried voice echoed in their minds, soothing their wolves slightly.“Father, please, our mate… What’s happening to her? Is she safe? Please, don’t lie to us,” Finn barely managed to ask Lugh, though he was barely conscious. Lugh didn’t know how to answer.“Don’t worry, pup. Everything will be fine,” he lied, for the first time, because if he told them the truth, they would become even more frantic.So, he waited until they lost consciousness completely.“Lucian, that human… how could she abandon our pups like that?” he spoke to his human side, filled with rage.He was always the strictest with his Alpha sons. As the Alpha of Alphas, he had to maintain his dominance thr
214. I won’t accept him
The moment Olivia felt the sharp pain in her belly, the Vampire King made his appearance.Seraphine had been given some of Lucian’s blood and gathered enough strength to transform into mist.He didn’t want to ride on anyone’s back, and turning into mist was the fastest way to travel.He lagged slightly behind because those werewolves ran like the wind, and he was still weak. But as soon as he materialized on the porch, he knew his life had changed forever."This can’t be!" he exclaimed, stepping back as his eyes fell on Olivia’s rounded belly while Lucian embraced her."What the hell is going on here, King Seraphine?" Lucian’s tone shifted from courtesy to hostility.Seraphine had saved his pups, but his presence was clearly causing Olivia distress."I’m fine, Lucian. It was just the pup. It moved too quickly all of a sudden—it was painful, as if reacting to something… or someone," Olivia explained, lifting her head to look at the striking man with jet-black hair cascading past his sh
215. My new life
Two months later…Rose looked at herself in the mirror in her room.A pencil skirt, a classic white blouse—simple yet elegant—and low heels.Over it, her blazer, which she would later exchange for her white scientist's coat.She had arrived in this country a month ago, a place where she was allowed to live and work.She rented a small apartment in the city center—a nearly one-room attic with everything combined, but it was cozy.She had to carefully budget her savings, not knowing how long she would remain unemployed. She applied to several laboratories, hospitals, and even universities, but a geneticist wasn’t in demand everywhere.After several interviews where she wasn’t selected, she seriously considered taking on any job in the meantime to manage her finances.But fortunately, a few days ago, she received a call for an interview at one of the country’s prominent labs—Evotec Laboratories.Rose was thrilled. That day, she splurged from her savings to buy a new outfit and showed up
1. A hasty escape
Olivia walked through the kitchen, the knife clutched tightly in her trembling hand.She was still in her white hospital pajamas and barefoot, having dropped her slippers when she jumped, with great effort, over the short fence of her own house.Olivia walked around the dimly lit room.She knew the exact location of every piece of furniture, every lamp, every ornament.This had been her home for nearly eight years, the home she had shared in a marriage she believed to be true and real, but which was as false as all the feelings "her dear husband" had professed for her.The same man who was now upstairs, probably with another woman.Olivia knew it, her sixth sense told her, just as she knew the day her older sister would die.She cried and kicked to keep her from celebrating with her friends, but since she was only an eleven year old girl, no one paid any attention to her.At midnight, her parents were notified that their teenage daughter had been stabbed and raped in a dark alley in t
2. Temptation in a human body
Olivia had been in this beautiful place for days.As much as her depression tried to drown her, the beauty of everything her eyes saw forced her out of her self-pity.She felt at home, even though she was living in one of the rooms of the inn in this rustic village lost in the woods and mountains. After a journey of days, they arrived here, a picturesque village with houses made of stone and wood, but although they looked rustic on the outside, they had all the comforts of modern life on the inside.It was not a poor or backward place at all, it had a lot of development, it just seemed that its inhabitants liked to be away from the world and curious strangers.She had been here for more than a week, and although Noah tried everything to get her to stay at John's house, she refused, insisting on staying at the inn.She felt that she had already upset her friend too much, that her madness had even put her in danger of being arrested as an accomplice.Dressed in blue jeans with a thermal
