Chapter 1l
★★★★
She groaned in pain as a sickening snap sounded in the air. Her body fell to the floor as the door slammed open and her neck snapped to the side.
A howl left her mouth while her own husband watched in fear as he took a step back.
"Run" was the last word she could mutter before her rationality faded and she succumbed into the darkness it brought.
He took to his heels immediately looking back at different intervals.
She growled at him and tears escaped his eyes as he ran out of the house.
She jumped using her claws to slash him but he squatted dodging the attack.
"Ava!" Thomas yelled fearfully and she faced him, her eyes glowing bright golden under the full moon.
The brightness of the moon made her turn her head to the moon and the urge to howl struck her immediately.
A loud howl escaped her lips and Thomas stepped back wiping his tears.
She snapped her head towards him and he started his run once more.
She charged towards him and jumped. He turned and a loud scream left his lips when her canines met with his arm.
"Ava!!!" He cried as blood gushed out of his wound.
Something snapped in her and she got her sanity back.
She rushed into the room and changed back to normal. She put on a night gown and a robe before running to the garden where she saw him sitting on the ground still bleeding profusely.
"Thomas" She called tears welling up in her eyes.
He turned immediately.
"You're a werewolf" He muttered shockingly, moving backwards clutching onto his bleeding arm.
She started walking closer.
"Stay back!!!!" He yelled and she stopped on her tracks.
"I got married to a werewolf" He repeated and shook his head.
"Thomas I'm so sorry. I wasn't in my right senses" She cried, staring at his bleeding arm.
"Look what you did to me Ava. Look what you fucking did!!!" He yelled and she ran her fingers through her hair.
"I'm so sorry. It wasn't intentional. Please Thomas forgive me." She said and he looked elsewhere.
"Ava" He called and then looked at his hand that was hurting so badly.
It took a lot for him not to cry again.
She walked to him and squatted in front of him staring at his wounded arm.
"Thomas. Please don't tell anyone about me. Please." She said looking up at him and he looked at her.
"When did you plan on telling me?" He asked.
"When the right time comes." She muttered tears rolling down her eyelids.
He thought of something before smiling.
"I won't tell anyone. I love you too much to do that." He said and she smiled but then she frowned.
"You're lying." She said and he realized werewolves could detect if one is lying or not.
He groaned in pain before speaking.
"I'm not. I love you Ava and I won't tell anyone
" He said composing himself pretty well so she wouldn't detect that he's lying.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes honey." He said and she smiled hugging him.
He winced and she broke the hug.
"I'm sorry." She said,
"No it's fine." He replied with a smile.
"Let's go to sleep now. I'm exhausted." He said.
"Sure" She said and they both stood. He had a frown on his face as they walked slowly into the house and went into the room.
He kept groaning at regular intervals and he looked at the arm wondering if he was being bitten again cos the pain multiplied.
She got a first aid kit and came towards him cleaning the wound before bandaging it.
"Good night" She said and he smiled.
"Same" He replied and they both laid on the bed facing different angles.
12AM ~~
Ava was deep in slumber when Thomas stealthily got down from bed.
He went downstairs and opened the door. He walked to his neighbors and woke them up telling them about Ava. He went to all the houses in the street and told them about Ava.
They all gathered together in front of Thomas' house with different weapons.
"This is what that creature of a wife did to me" Thomas said removing the bandage on his arm and showed them the bite from Ava.
They gasped in shock stepping back from him. He chuckled before wrapping the bandage back on his arm.
"We really need to kill her" One said, making them fall into seconds of silence as Thomas thought of ways to go about it.
"How?" He asked, when he couldn't figure anything out.
"According to a research I made years ago, stabbing a werewolf with a silver knife or wolfsbane could kill it. I only have a silver knife so we can use that" One said.
Thomas didn't hesitate in telling the man to bring the weapons, the fact that they were killing a werewolf that night seemed to excite him despite the person in question being his wife. They looked at each other, a devilish smirk on their faces.
Thomas gaze darted to the people right in front of him as he asked if they remembered the plan.
After confirming that they were still aligning and they all remembered what they talked about, they dashed into the house, aggressively moving towards Ava's room.
Thomas brought out the silver knife from his pocket and went into the room.
"I loved you Ava but I can't have a werewolf as a wife" He said walking towards her. He stopped in front of her and raised the knife up.
"Die!!" He yelled and lowered the knife wanting to stab her but she rolled away from her spot looking at him.
"How could you?" She asked, trying to keep her cool.
"You're a werewolf and I hate werewolves" He said and tried striking her with the knife but she shifted again but not quick enough so it tore her a bit and her eyes shone a bright shade of golden.
She kicked him and he flew to the wall falling flat on the ground with a loud groan.
She exhaled before getting down from the bed walking to the door. She got out and went downstairs but she was shocked when she saw the neighbors inside.
She ran back upstairs and they ran after her.
She went to the window and jumped down landing on her feet.
She changed into a werewolf and ran speedily away from that place.
"After her!!!!!" Thomas yelled standing up from the ground.
His arm started bleeding a little as he stood limping out of the room.
They all left the house running after her.
Ava's breaths were unstable as she tried to run faster but the slight cut on her arm prevented her from doing that.
She stopped to catch her breath but then she sensed something coming her way. She wasn't quick to move so the silver bullet grazed her arm.
She winced before continuing her run. She ran into the woods and another bullet came grazing her other arm. She winced but kept running though her pace reduced.
Another bullet came hitting her leg and she fell to the floor and changed back to her human form.
She inhaled looking at her injured arms and leg. Blood was already escaping from the wounds.
She stood up and wrapped herself with the palm leaf. She began limping away and she kept looking back to see if they were coming. She turned her head forward but she bumped into a hard chest and she staggered back.
She looked up at the person and gasped.
It was a vampire.
Her eyes shone brightly as she glared at him.
"Step aside" He growled and she gulped moving away.
He sped away and she bit her lips before limping away. When she got to one part of the forest, she realized she was surrounded.
"There's nowhere else to go werewolf, give up now and let us kill you" Thomas said and she frowned.
"I left my clan because of you Thomas. I loved you but this is how you wanna repay me?" She asked angrily.
"I loved you too but after finding out you're a werewolf, the love disappeared" He said and she rushed to him, slashing him with her claws.
He groaned slightly as he moved back feeling the thorn flesh bleed as he squeezed his eyes shut and gritted his teeth to hold in the pain.
The people around fired bullets but she dodged all of them.
'She left her mum and dad because of him. She disappointed them because of him and this is all he has to say?!' She thought and used her claw to slash him again.
He spat out blood and rose the knife. He wanted to stab her again but she held his hand. She smiled and put her hand inside his chest getting hold of his heart.
"If I'm dying, you'll die with me" She said and pulled out his heart from his chest.
Blood escaped his lips and he fell to the ground. He looked at the sky and closed his eyes as he took his last breath.
She smirked and threw the knife away. She tried standing but the wounds didn't let her. She couldn't heal quickly because it's silver.
She fell to the ground losing consciousness.
The guy who gave them the silver knife came closer with it and was about to cut off her head when a vampire super speed and stabbed him with his claws on the chest.
He let go of the knife and fell to the ground. He died.
Lucian looked at the rest of the humans. His cold gaze bored into their souls and in one swift move he grabbed one of them by the neck and tore off his head without his expression changing.
The rest got scared and started running away but he was faster so he killed all of them by pulling out their hearts.
He brought out a handkerchief from his back pocket and used it to slowly wipe his hands before dropping it on the ground.
He stared down at Ava before carrying her up in his arms.
A figure who was running through the bushes sighted him and he let out a smirk.
"I finally found the vampire" he muttered.
