The Alpha and The Vampire Queen

Memories p2

Nerezza's p.o.v

"You will regret this. I will come back and that's when you'll know, I am eternal." Cassandra glares daggers at me,

"No, you aren't, you will never be, you are too evil for this world and so, like a bug or rat, you must be exterminated."

With that I drove the stake into her heart, Andrew cut off her head and Martina set fire to the pyre. I immediately sink to the ground and start to sob. Over a century of friendship and  it was over now.

I woke up in a cold sweat from my chambers as my dream ran all over my mind, over and over again with no end. I still had nightmares of the day I had ended Cassandra, no, she wasn't Cassandra, the Queen of Vengeance's reign.

"Hmm, darling, you're awake?" Andrew kisses my shoulder and envelops my cold body with his own. He takes my hand and holds it to his beating heart.

"I am, I was just, remembering."

"You still can't forget that event huh?"

"It might have been over 10 years ago but it's impossible to forget killing your best friend."

"Indeed it is." I look at his warm brown eyes and peck his soft lips.

"I believe that I must get up now, there is a meeting with the officials that I must attend." I get out of bed and go to my closet, the maids helping me get dressed.

*After the meeting*

I felt myself getting dizzier, I knew for sure I wasn't pregnant. I was announced as barren 5 decades ago. 

Suddenly I felt my knees going weak, but before I could brace myself for the fall, I felt tingles erupting at my waist and warmth that followed.

"Andrew." I whimpered, "Get the physician." with that I fade out of consciousness.

The moment I woke up, I felt slender fingers pressing against my forearm and I opened my eyes. The kind but worried face of the old physician had a needle in his hand and pierced it into my skin, immediately, blood started to come out. He brought the needle up to his mouth and licked the small bit of blood off. His face immediately forms into a grimace and he coughs. 

"Poison."he looks at Andrew, "The Queen has been poisoned." I look at them, feeling helpless,

"This cannot leak out, we may be powerful but there are still, however, many who would like me dead." I look at them seriously. they both nod,

"Yes my Queen, with that the physician left, leaving me with Andrew."

"You know I cannot live without you."

"You can, you must, for my sake. I couldn't imagine you being robbed of your life without fully living it first."

"You are my life."

I looked away and stayed silent. He sighs and climbs in bed with me,

"I love you." he kisses my shoulder tenderly as if I would disappear any moment,

"I love you too darling."

Xander's p.o.v

The Vampire Queen had invited me to tea, for what reason, I do not know.

"Hello brother." she says warmly, I noticed that she was paler than usual, I only glare back.

"Please, have a seat." I sat in front of her, as Andrew entered, she stiffened, the tension between them was high.

Her hand started shaking as she reached for her tea cup and she immediately withdrew it with a tight smile, when she noticed my staring she got even more tense,

"The reason I called you here is because of our relations. As you know, tomorrow is the day we renew our treaty."

"Sounds like I don't need to be here then."

"No, you do." this time it was my brother who spoke, "You need to be there, it's a treaty between leaders of the kingdom. It will include the officials of this one and ours. Since you are my right hand man, you need to be there." 

I could sense that there was another reason, it was obvious by their unsure body language. I looked at Nerezza's hand again, it was shaking again, her hand looked as if someone had tried to burn her and the scar didn't heal yet. She notices my staring and quickly pulls her hand under the table.

"Um, tea anyone?" She asks politely and I nod reluctantly. She waves her shaking hand to the maid who comes over and fills our cups. Usually Nerezza pours the tea herself. Things were getting odder and odder.

Once we finished our tea in silence, Andrew left to go to the bathroom. Suddenly Nezerra clutches her throat and starts to cough. She gasps, grips my sleeve and whispers something that I just barely made out,

"My.... behind the... ror" was what I heard before the Queen fell dead in front of me, no one else was in the room until the Duchess entered the room. At the sight of her sister she screamed and looked at me.

"I knew that you hated my sister and me, but you went this far?! What were you thinking!" She slaps me and rushes out the room, her eyes filled with tears.

I follow her just as a few maids rush into the room and start to panic. I continue to follow her until she rounds the corner. I see my brother on the ground, his eyes closed. I could see blood forming around him.

"This is your solution?! Killing my own brother?!"

Martina's p.o.v

I scoff and turn to him, I hadn't killed him, but let him think I did, he killed my sister, he deserves it.

"Maybe it is." I snarl,

"This means war. There is no more treaty between my pack and your kingdom!"

"Let it be that way then."

Third person p.o.v

The following day, news of the dead Queen raged over the land. Soon, Queen Nerezza was proclaimed as the Damned Queen. The people thought that she had been cursed to live a terrible life and her dying early was a sign of that. They had heard rumors that the brother of their late King had killed her and they were enraged.

Andrew had been named the Merciful King for whenever the Queen was to execute someone, he was the one who granted them mercy. Word that the late Queen's sister had killed him whipped the wolves into a frenzy.

The Duchess Martina took the crown and became Queen but refused to change her status. On the battle field, her vicious plans and attacks earned her the title of The Vicious Duchess. She was the one who had started the Amber line, the one who conquered all vampire lands and formed them into a kingdom with each official looking over sections of land.

Duke Xander, or the Merciful King's brother was crowned as King. His cunning plans on the battle field, his attack all carefully planned and calculated earned him the title of The Cunning King. Although most didn't like him very much, he had created a whole new battle strategy.

As the time led on, the Vampire Kingdom and Werewolf pack forgot why they fought, but that didn't stop them. They fought until of course, the first twin sisters in the Vampire Kingdom was born and the first twin brothers were born in the Werewolf Pack.

I woke up in cold sweat, I could feel tubes attached to me, the air was cold and damp. I blinked a few times to clear my vision. I looked at my mate who was staring at me with relief.

"We must find the Queen of Vengeance, before it is too late."

"What do you mean, I thought you said this was an impostor."

"I was wrong. Cassanova Giovanni, she's back."

Hello, I am indeed alive and well. I'm sorry for the long period where I didn't update anything at all but I didn't know what to write. Although the ongoing problem in the world has certainly boosted my creativity despite the lack of activities. 

Due to a problem I was also told to stop updating this story, that is a personal issue where I won't give any details, but I would like you all to know that I am back, although the next chapter might take a while.

Enjoy! <3 :)
