The Alpha's Mate is a Vampire

The scent of blood was so thick in the air that if someone were about to pass by from miles away they could still smell them. Fire was everywhere burning more than half of the houses in Bluemoon Village. Screams and growls could be heard in every corner, yet there stood a girl holding her cloak groggily on the border of the dense forrest surounding the village, 'mommy..' she whimpers to nothing but air. Her dark locks fell right above her shoulders where the cold wind blew softly enhancing her docile figure. The scenes before her eyes terrifies her, where her kind were torn apart and some were thrown into the fire alive. Her parents were nowhere to be seen after they told her to wait for them right there, 'Valerie, love, be courageous and wait for mommy, mommy will find daddy so we can leave, alright?', her mother gentle voice echoed through her mind as she cries out to call for her mom again, 'mommy..' she turned around warily as she heard cracking wood noises coming closer. Someone is approaching her! She shivered but when she saw a glimpse of the boy approaching her, her eyes softens and gleamed with hope, 'big brother, Valerie is scared.' she was only six and alone, it was a relief for her to see a young boy whom she thought can accompany and help her find her parents. She wanted to walk up to him but as he emerged from the dark, she could see the blood under his nails and all over his body. She froze in her step and her eyes grew big, a confused look with a hint of concern was plastered all over her face. How could a boy this young have so much blood upon him? Was he injured? She thought to herself. The boy shifted his eyes up and down, scrutinizing the little girl before him. Her innocent red eyes made his heart ached with remorse as he knelt in front of her. He cupped her cheek with one of his hand, the blood on his hand immediately covered the girl's cheek in crimson, 'Little one, why are you out here alone?' His voice was soft and hoarse. As he watched her shifted her gaze from his hand back to his eyes, he felt a strange string threaded in his chest. He whimpers slightly as he felt a warm burn on the palm of his hand which he touched her skin with. He was young but he knew what is happening, he cursed under his breath as he looked over to the moon. 'What a shame, little one, this was not your battle.' He retreated his hand, leaving the girl's cheek stained with thick blood that slowly dripped onto her chin and down the ground. He sighed at the view before him, his breath was shaking. She was eyeing him with curiosity as she had no clue what is going on. 'Big brother?' She called ever so softly and clasped her hand to his cheeks forcing him to look at her properly in the eyes. His hazel eyes grew darker under her gaze. In a swift movement he pulled her closer and sank his teeth on the girl's neck. Valerie shrieked in pain, her ear splitting scream echoed throughout the bloodbathed village. Not long after, she fell limp onto the ground whimpering in pain. The boy lifted his hand to caress her cheek which she flinched in return. Valerie was too young to understand what was going on so she could only shiver under his touch because her body could no longer move because of the pain. Cole's expression grew complicated, a hint of grieve was present in his eyes. 'if you are lucky enough, you will survive and not cross path with me in this life. You'll continue to live, little one.' He spoke as stood back up. 'Live, my sweet Valerie,' he breathed out as Valerie watched the boy shift into his wolf form and disappeared into the darkness. Her eyes were filled with horror and curiosity, she tried to move her body and ran after him but darkness consumed her vision. ----- Valerie gasped for air, opening her eyes and mouth at the same time. Her hand instinctively reach for a bite mark on her neck, breathing heavily, "Who were you...," she breathed out. She closed her eyes and steadied her breath. Valeria was no stranger to that dream, she had dreamed of that scene over and over again for the past fifteen years, but her questioned remains, who is that man? if he wanted her to liive, why did he hurt her? She almost died that night if it weren't for her current parents who found her. She was not afraid of that boy and she still ain't. "Valey! You gotta be late for work!" Valerie fluttered her eyes open at the sound of her mother. "Yes, mother!" She shouted. Soon she'd finished getting ready and descended the stairs to the dining room. She looked at her parents who are busy preparing breakfast, Mark and Clara, the one who found her sprawled on the ground wounded and soon adopted her as their own. Her actual parents? dead. They were found nect to each other, decapitated. Her heart tightens at the thought but soon she smiled as Mark and Clara looked up at her and waved her to have breakfast. She loves them with all her heart. "Darling, you look stunning!" Clara exclaimed followed by Mark who nods in approval. Valerie blushed and nodded. She has always been reserved and demure int front of her parents but that was only because she respected them so much. "Thank you, mother, that is because you have taken such good care of me and taught me how to style myself." she giggled. Clara gave her husband a warm look, she feels so proud that they've raised such a well-mannered daughter, which Mark returned with a smile. "Valey, how are things going in the office?" Mark questioned. The vampire kind no longer live by separatimg themselves from human world, the mix themselves for disguise. They have lost thousands of theirs due to the last war broke between the vampires and the werewolves, they won't take risks. though they already have the peace treaty now, it's better to take precaution. The werewolves on the other hand they still live in small packs but they're now more resereved because they also have been actively getting involved in human world. Both kinds are now living under the radar in the human world. "It has been going pretty well, father. Right now we're trying to secure a project with Alpha Group." Valerie bit down her lips nervously before she said again, "Father, i'm nervous. They said that the CEO of the group is quite ruthless and hard to deal with." "You'll be fine, darling." Marcus smiled sternly. His daughter seemed very docile in front of them but he knew that behind that, his daughter is also a feisty and smart CEO, thus he entrusted his company to her even though she was only twenty-one this year. -------
