The witches helped me get ready for it, and I took a glance at myself in the mirror once more. My blue eyes moved from the natural curls of my brown hair that now had a noticeable shade of blue growing on them. It fell neatly on both sides of my shoulders, stopping at my stomach. My eyes glided to the crook of my neck where the mark of my mate stood in a flaming golden color, having the shape of a dragon.
My eyes lingered on it for a second, before they pulled away. My eyes closed briefly for a second as I felt the scar that was etched on my palm. I opened my eyes and they fell on it. It was a deep wound made from the sharp blade of a sword.
I paused all my thoughts and cleared my mind of all silly emotions, exiting my chamber for the Dragon Court. The biggest hall in the whole of the Fortress. Vlad loved having his meetings there, especially when they were important like today.
I kept moving with Sybil and Kali tailing behind me. They were always with me, and I liked to think of them as my shadows.
I was at the black diamond doors of the Dragon Court, and immediately, it was opened for me. My eyes fell on the large individuals that were seated around the black circular crystal table.
I lifted my chin and walked inside. As usual, they were waiting for my arrival before starting the meeting.
I took my seat right opposite Vladimir with the black crystal table separating us.
“Begin,”
Vlad’s deep voice sounded throughout the Court. And Elias, one of Vladimir’s most trusted leaders of the vampire coven stood up from his seat, my eyes fell on the wide map spread out on the table with red crosses and green circles dotted all over some small drawings and writings. It was a map encompassing all of the regions in the North, West, South, and East.
Every region in the East had red crosses on them which meant they’d already been targeted and destroyed by our armies, and up until a week ago, the West Central still had few regions that haven’t been targeted yet, but according to the map, not anymore. They’ve been targeted and destroyed.
“Every region in the West has been attacked, my Lord,”
Elias spoke with a smirk, highly satisfied with the results. We had encountered some problems conquering some regions in the West that were affiliated with the Council. The Council had fought hard to prevent the destruction of the West regions that were under their control but it was of no use.
Our army was stronger and we had an impressive number and the right power at our disposal. They didn’t stand a chance against us, and will never. We always grew in numbers. From every attack, our armies always bring prisoners to the Oasis. Prisoners from several magical kinds. They are branded and molded to our liking and forced to work for us by their own will, or against their will. It doesn’t matter. The Dark Circle always has a special way of keeping one in line.
My eyes retracted from the map and I found Vlad’s intense gaze on me, piercing right into my soul. A small smile found my lips. There was something about his gaze that was capable of seeing right through me. It was fascinating how he always managed to know exactly what I was thinking and feeling. It was like every print of me was molded in him.
“Excellent, Elias. Good job,”
Vlad finally spoke in his rich accented voice. His interesting golden eyes never drifted from mine.
“Splendid news. We should proceed on to the next. We have limited time already on our hands. We should make South Central our next target, before heading for North,”
Festus, a feral wolf suggested.
“I do agree with Festus, and indeed we do have limited time on our hands,”
He sounded icy, making cold air escape my lungs slowly as my blue eyes drifted from Vladimir’s and fell on him. Nikolai. Vladimir’s shadow itself and warlock. A powerful one. And I could also deem him as my savior whom Vladimir sent to rescue me from the hands of the Council and every one of those wolves who wanted me dead.
His dark eyes moved from the map, scanning around the members seated at the table before they fell on me. “Although the queen and I still have pending issues at the Dark cave, I do propose we move on to North Central,”
His gaze shifted to Vlad’s, whose eyes were still on me.
“What do you suggest, darling?”
At his question, the Dragon Court fell into silence.
My eyes narrowed on the map once more, glancing over the green circles dotted over several regions on the South and North. I couldn’t fight the emotion called rage that took dominance of my mind.
My eyes met with that of my mate. “I do agree with Nikolai on this one. We suffered a delay in the West because of the Council and their reinforcement. North Central has the largest covens, kingdoms, and packs in all of the lands. The best thing is to take them down. They won’t see it coming, as they would expect the South to be next.”
“It’s no secret how much I detest the North for a reason. I have suffered greatly at their hands and lost everything because of them. My wolf, my family, and important years of my life. I hate them all, especially the Council and the wolves pack. So, I’m afraid I’m with Nikolai in this one. North Central should be targeted next, and I want every one of those wolves, especially the Crescent North Pack, and the Black Blood Pack,”
I paused, leaning against the table as I forced out everything I needed to feel. The rage, and hate. “One has the largest Pack in the whole region while the other has the most resources. Taking them down will be a major blow to the Council,”
I voiced out everything I was feeling, and all through, my blue depths never left that of my mate as a small, intriguing smirk found his lips.
Naomi’s point of view
I curled my right hand into a ball, feeling the scar on my palm. It reminded me of my rage, and everything I had lost, and the only emotion that filled my mind was hate, rage, and a maddening drive for revenge.
My gaze softened as I felt my mate’s comforting presence inside the corner walls of my mind, reminding me he would be there for me, always.
“Meeting adjourned,”
his voice filled the air, commandingly, and immediately, everyone was up from their seats, leaving the Dragon’s court until it remained just my mate and me.
He pulled up from his chair, stalking to where I was seated.
“It enrages me to see you in so much pain, love,”
his large hand caressed my cheek. It was cold as usual but I couldn’t help but lean into it.
My eyes fell on his flawless, and uniquely pale face. Vladimir was of mixed blood, being both a vampire and a wolf. He was one of the old wolves that magically transitioned into a vampire.
“I hate it too. But what do I do with this anger I feel? Remember, Vlad, I lost everything because of those imbeciles, and I wait patiently for the day I will make everyone pay,”
I said and he pulled closer to me, engulfing me in his arms. “Remember, you have me. And you will always have me,”
he said, kissing me.
“And I thank the goddess every day for that. I cannot begin to imagine what harm would have come to me if you hadn’t come to rescue me,”
My slender hands snaked around his neck, getting lost in his smooth hair. “Thank you,”
I bitted.
“Every one of those mutts will all pay for everything they have done to you. It’s my promise to you, Naomi,”
he kissed me. “And revenge tastes better when served without a hurry. Once we conquer South Central first, they’ll know that they are next and they will not be spared. Every one of them must witness what is to come.”
“And they will,”
I kissed him back. “I have to go to the Dark cave and prepare for tonight’s ritual, hopefully, it’ll be a success,”
I stood up from the chair, exiting the Dragon Court with Vladimir.
I left him and headed for my chamber with Sybil and Kali behind me first before leaving for the Dark cave. I grabbed a black furry coat and placed it over my dress.
I roved to the black windows. With a small wave of my hand, I used my magic to pull apart the draperies, and the black windows unlocked, pushing open. The warmth from the sunlight descended on me, but unfortunately, I could feel nothing at all. From the top floor of my chamber, it was impossible to get a full view of the entire Oasis. I couldn’t see beyond the Fortress grounds.
I gazed at the burning sun for a while with absolutely nothing running through my mind, before exiting my chamber.
Sybil and Kali were waiting for me outside my chamber. We left the Fortress and stepped out into the sun. We got on our horses and left the Fortress grounds, heading for the Dark cave. This place was called the Oasis. It was quite different from anything I had ever seen, and heavily protected.
It’s been almost eight weeks now since I was rescued by Vladimir and his army from the hands of those I call my enemies. I had been living at their mercy for so long after I was taken away from my family here in the Oasis. The Council, the Black Blood Pack, and… I paused for a split second, before continuing. And the Crescent North Pack had murdered my entire family, and kidnapped me for years, trying to make use of me and my powers as much as they could.
But Vladimir rescued me. He had sent every army of his and didn’t stop until he had me right beside him. The place I was held captive was attacked and many lost their lives, including the Alpha of the pack. He had lost his life in the hands of Vladimir’s warlock, Nikolai. He had saved me, although my wolf, Adie, didn’t make it. I was badly wounded during the war, I managed to make it out alive but she didn’t. She sacrificed herself for me to live. It was important I did because I had to avenge her and the deaths of everyone else I had lost. This is the only truth that I chose to believe.
My hold on the reins of my horse tightened as we took the path into the square. Oasis belonged to Vladimir and it was guarded with the magic of a thousand witches. There was no way in, once someone got in here, and no way out.
