– Prince Raegan
Raegan thought he would meet his end. He put up a strong facade, simply wanting to anger Elder Tara.
“You both tried to kill me! An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!” Raegan yelled back, despite still lying on the sand, his shoulder
appeared dislocated.
“You are no match for me, boy!” Elder Tara growled before shifting into her winter-grey wolf. “Die, Prince Raegan!”
“No! You die, old hag!” Just as Elder Tara leaped into the air, targeting him, Kieran appeared out of nowhere, his jaws biting the
side of Tara’s frame.
Prince Raegan saw Kieran and Elder Tara toppling each other. Seeing Tara’s power was much more than Kieran’s, he forced
himself up and shifted into his wolf.
He was limping as he ran to the elder, but with all his strength, he used it to bite Tara’s leg. He dug his fangs deeper into the
elder’s flesh while Tara screamed in pain, scratching Raegan on his back.
Kieran’s black wolf clawed Tara’s lower b*dy and bit her on her leg.
“You can’t hurt my mate!” Next, Prince Raegan heard his mate. Sheena had shifted into her wolf. She ferociously flaunted her
fangs before finding Tara’s neck. The second. Sheen’s teeth clenched into Elder Tara’s neck, she began to convulse.
The former Elder of Azenna bled. With three brute werewolves taking her down, she eventually gave her last breath.
Alexia –
Running in her winter-grey wolf, Alexia gleamed in the night. She was difficult to miss, and it was the same for the two winter-
grey warriors watching her back.
Catching up with one vampire, Alexia barked.
“I’ll take him, Princess!” One of her mother’s warriors offered. Her name was Jean.
She watched Jean jump at the vampire, quickly forcing the dead into the ground and biting the thing’s head.
Alexia continued to pursue Lord Vlad, but behind her, she could hear the vampire’s head breaking off its b*dy, her mother’s
warrior howling in achievement shortly after.
She still had one warrior watching her back, but it did not take long for Jean to gain on them.
Finally, seeing Lord Vlad from afar, Alexia snarled, “Where are you going, Lord Vlad? You have a direct descendant of Adira
Elsher right here. Don’t you want my blood?!”
For a second, Lord Vlad turned to Alexia. His red-colored eyes met hers before a hiss left his l*ps. He resumed his run,
answering, “I prefer one that doesn’t have fangs yet
A growl escaped Alexia’s mouth. She replied, “Tara lied to you, you know. She just wanted to manipulate you into joining their
cause!”
Alexia’s paws thundered against the ground, closing in on Lord Vlad. She described, “Think about it. How will it work? You don’t
even have a heart to pump back the blood to your b*dy! In fact, our blood is poison to your kind!”
“But -” Lord Vlad tried to react, but he continued running as if his life depended on it.
When Alexia had raised this with her mother, Avery had confirmed that one vampire had tried to feed off one of their ancestors.
This happened many years before her time. One of their own fell in love with a vampire and used her as a food source. The
vampire appeared to have increased in strength shortly after feeding off one of their ancestors. However, despite the continued
feeding, the lent strength eventually wanned.
There were many speculations about why it even happened and never worked in the end, but the bottom line was; the effect was
temporary and was never successful. Because of the threat to their lineage, that information was sealed, and only high-ranking
officials of Azenna knew of the case. Tara, being an elder, had access to this information. With that data out, Alexia and her
descendants were at risk. She had to find a way to dispel rumors. about that theory.
“Why don’t you test my blood? Drink from it!” Alexia offered, making Lord Vlad suddenly stop running. “I won’t kill you.”
‘At least, not yet, Alexia said in her head while halting in her steps. “I’m offering you my blood, a chance to prove that Tara’s
words were untrue.”
“Or true,” Lord Vlad corrected.
Alexia offered her leg, saying, “Go ahead. Drink.”
With a loud hiss, Lord Vlad showed his fangs. Whatever was left of his underlings stilled. around them, observing what would
happen next, their eyes fixed on Alexia.
Alexia was not worried at all. For werewolves to turn humans into their kind, they release their venom as they bite. For vampires
to turn other creatures into their own, they must let their victims drink back their blood. It was relatively safe to offer her blood,
which had always been part of her plan, so she took it upon herself to go after Lord Vlad.
“Go on now, drink. See if you will hold the power of Adira Elsher,” Alexia smirked. “Either that or die from being poisoned by my
blood.”
Eyeing the vampires around them, Alexia lifted her chin, confident of her words. She saw their eyes panicking, looking at each
other with doubt.
“Don’t worry. My warriors won’t hurt you,” Alexia assured her. The winter-grey wolves stood back. They were purring, but they
maintained their distance.
“Go ahead. Take a bite, but don’t blame me when you die from drinking my blood,” Alexia warned.
Lord Vlad was already in front of Alexia, ready to bite her limb. He hissed again, saying, “You are lying! I know you are!”
Alexia scoffed. She answered, “As I said, to see is to believe. Go ahead and take a bite – Aghh!”
Chapter 115
Without warning, Lord Vlad sank his fangs into Alexia’s leg. While in her wolf form, she clenched her teeth in pain.
Lord Vlad drank and drank until Alexia warned, “That’s enough now, or I will claw you at this point.”
Stepping back, Lord Vlad licked whatever was left of Alexia’s blood. He smiled and turned to his people, saying, “I can feel it. I
feel stronger. It’s true -”
All of a sudden, Lord Vlad was choking. He put both his hands on his neck, appearing to be gurgling. He pointed to Alexia with
wide eyes, saying, “You -you
“See!” Alexia growled. “What did I tell you? Our blood is poison to you!”

“No you burn! Burn!” Unfortunately for Lord Vlad, he could not utter a word. Alexia knew he was feeling his throat burn at that
point because she had been drinking small doses of vervain over the past few days. The said herb was known to cause a
burning sensation in vampires. It doesn’t kill them but only weakens them for a certain period. Like Lord Vlad, beheading and
burning remained the best way to kill the dead.
Vervain did not affect werewolves, only vampires. Thus, this was the technique Alexia and Morgan had planned on.
“Now! Return to the beach and tell others about Tara’s lies! I will let you live, but never return to our lands again!” Alexia ordered
before she lunged at Lord Vlad and attacked him with full force!
Alexia and the winter-grey werewolves had to allow Lord Vlad’s underlings to spread the word – let them live for a few days to
tell their companions about Tara’s false claims. It had to be done; otherwise, the remaining vampires and potentially, even
werewolves may go after their blood.
“How dare you even think you can touch us!” Alexia snarled. “We are above you – more potent and faster! Your kind can never
defeat us!”
Alexia ensured her rants were loud and clear, so the fleeing vampires would fully understand the power of winter-grey wolves.
She certainly hoped she had instilled enough fear in them to never come again.
With the other warriors grabbing Lord Vlad’s feet, Alexia pulled the vampire lord’s head apart with one mighty tug!
‘I did it, Kieran. Lord Vlad is dead,’ Alexia mindlinked with her husband. “That’s one leader down.”‘
“Two down. One to go,’ Kieran mindlinked back. ‘Raegan, Sheena, and I took out Elder
Tara.’
‘Now, all that is left is for King Balthasar to take down King James!’ Kieran added.
When Alexia returned to the beach, she gasped at the battle unfolding before her eyes. She said under her breath, ‘King
Balthasar.’
