“Please, Killian is-“
I paused, as a tear slipped down my cheek. “Dead,”
I added. “This is not the right time to lose it and wish for something never possible. You know better than to believe what you see in this place,”
I said, tiredly. I was tired of it all. This only spelt problem.
It simply meant Vladimir still had a suspicion about me. This was the wrongest time for that. The moon’s eclipse was days away, and Vladimir was still testing me. If he had the slightest doubt about me, everything would be over. He would finally get what he wanted on the night of the lunar eclipse and everyone’s life, including mine, will be at his mercy. I couldn’t let that happen. I had to win this fight at all costs. I had to avenge Killian’s death and put an end to Vladimir’s plans.
I shook out of my thoughts when I heard the sharp knock on the door. I was up from the floor, I used my magic and fixed my chamber quickly, wiping off the tear stains on my face.
“What is it?”
I asked.
“The Dark Lord requests your presence in the grand hall,”
I heard Sybil’s voice and I was surprised. I wasn’t informed he was returning tonight.
“I will join him soon,”
I voiced loudly.
“Yes, my queen,”
I heard the tapping sound of her boots exit to the hallways.
“That doesn’t sound good,”
Adie muttered. “I have a bad feeling about this,”
she added, returning to the deepest corners of my mind.
Swiftly, I fixed myself up, keeping my emotions at bay. I lifted the spell I had placed on myself, restoring my connection with Vladimir. I left my chambers. I headed for the grand hall, and Vladimir was there. He was standing at the window, staring into the darkness that wandered outside.
I strode to where he was. The instant I was by his side, his golden gaze found mine. He placed the goblet in his hand aside, pulling me into his arms and his lips captured mine. He kissed me and his hand pinned me to his body, and his other hand got lost in my hair. I let myself go, kissing him back, until we pulled apart, panting.
He kissed my marking spot where his mark was, inhaling my scent. “I missed you,”
He muttered against my ears, pulling away, his thumb brushing my lips.
“Me too. I thought you’d be back tomorrow,”
I wrapped my hands around him, burying my head in the crook of his neck. I felt his presence and worry at the back of my mind. I drew away from him, and my blue eyes met his.
“I could not wait until tomorrow,”
his fingers trailed my jaw and his golden eyes held mine. “I was worried, more so when I was informed about tonight’s incidence in the woods…”
My lips curved into a small smile. I tilted my head to the doorway where Sybil was standing with her back turned away from us.
“What happened?”
He questioned as his thumb pulled my face to him, and his golden piercing eyes locked with mine.
“I would also like to know what happened. One second, they were beside me, and the next second, vanished from sight,”
I sounded, tearing my eyes from his piercing ones.
“I see. Then it’s more serious than I thought. First, it was the shooting, and now, this. I fear someone may be after your life,”
He spoke shortly, after regarding me for long seconds.
“That’s ridiculous, Vlad, as well as impossible,”
I tried keeping my voice calm.
“All the more reason it’s serious. I will have Nikolai look into it, love,”
he kissed me, pulling away a little. “Until this matter is resolved, I suggest you remain within the walls of the fortress. It’s far much safer.”
“What! No, Vlad. That’s not a good idea. The moon is almost upon us and we haven’t made progress yet with the rituals,”
I started, what he was suggesting was something I couldn’t agree to.
“Nothing is more important than your safety, love,”
he insisted, his blazing golden crystals regarding me intensely.
“And what about the rituals and preparations? We still have a lot to figure out,”
I uttered.
“Don’t worry yourself so much. Nikolai has an idea of what the problem is.”
“That’s good. I will speak to him about it, and together we can-“
I began but his fingers sealed my lips.
“No. As you said, the moon is almost upon us. Nikolai will make the preparations, and do the needful while you are safe and well-rested for the Blood moon. You’ll need all the magic you can get. What do you say?”
I pushed a smile, giving in. “Sounds like a plan.”
“Perfect,”
he held a mischievous smirk and I tried my hardest to fight off the worry that clouded my thoughts. I knew Nikolai was behind this sudden change and whatever new plan he had scared me.
Naomi’s point of view
I kept staring at the mirror, watching my very own reflection. I could hardly get any sleep last night, especially after my time with Vladimir. I could feel it in the depths of my soul, something was happening. Nikolai was getting to Vladimir. He had begun to suspect the process of the ritual; he must know I was doing it wrong. And now, just when I had to be involved, they were trying to cut me off. The Blood moon was a few days away and we were supposed to have found the right vessel by then. A vessel that had enough energy to contain the Shota’s magic before we had it transferred to Vladimir on the night of the Blood moon. That has been Vladimir’s plan all along. He wanted the Shota’s magic. That would be terrible for all of us. Vladimir was a mixed breed, being a wolf and a vampire. The last thing we needed was him getting his claws on the Shota’s magic. I couldn’t let that happen. That would make him a step closer to his plan.
The Shota’s magic was the darkest kind of magic that existed thousands of years ago. It was darkness without form or origin and was destroyed, or rather, imprisoned away by the ancient Council. It was erased from existence and history, but through the years, Vladimir somehow learned of it, and his coven of witches made a crack within its prison walls, giving him access to it.
The only way the ancient Council was able to bind and imprison this dark magic was through a blood ritual that was anchored thousands of years ago by the Council witches, and now, Vladimir and his witches plan to anchor another blood ritual to unbind the Shota’s magic, setting it free, and this was his end game.
The Dark Circle is preparing for a war with the North, right after the South regions were conquered. That war was only a disguise to achieve his goal, and with the blood of so many lives that would be sacrificed, a blood ritual would be anchored to set free the greatest darkness that would consume every one of us. No one would be spared.
I drew in a deep breath, remembering my constant dreams. It scared me, for all I could see was darkness and death.
Oh, goddess! I placed my fingers on both sides of my temples. I had only until the blood moon to get everything in motion and ensure that dark magic never finds a vessel.
