The investigation team is all set to visit the Winden city as they can't find anything suspicious in the werewolf world to continue further.
All-day, Carla was busy making arrangements and preparing invitations for Margery's close friends.
They have decided to arrange the party for next week's Sunday.
In the blink of an eye came the night, and all of them retired for the day.
The mysterious man concluded the meeting, deciding to cooperate with werewolves investigation.
As the night becomes darker, he vanished from his room in a blink of an eye and landed beside Carla's bed.
Carla is sleeping in peace like a fairy. His eyes became more tender, seeing her.
Smoothing her hair, he spoke, "your just like your mother, not giving a damn to the world sleeping happily."
There is a longing for warmth and sadness in his eyes.
The powerful king who can control the vampire world on his fingertips is upset for being away from her daughter.
He consoled himself, repeating, "all this is for your happiness and the promise I must keep no matter what.
Kissing on her temple, my precious princess, your father is helpless now, but I will be with you in the future."
Saying so, he looked outside the window where the moon was glowing like a full moon day.
It was the same as his wife's smile, looking at him lovingly. With an absent mind, he thought about this city where his daughter is residing now.
Winden city is one of the oldest cities with a history of 100 or more years attached to it.
The city is in the eastern parts of the country Mauritius under the Flacq district.
Having English speaking people as the significant residents, English and French languages are official here.
The Flacq district is famous for beaches, along with large trees covering the area.
The Winden city is a little bit hard to find in the geographical map of the Mauritius country.
Winden is a city covered with lush green forests and beautiful beaches. The city's primary income is also from tourists.
The city has a significant sugar factory, which is the second most sugar producer in the whole country.
Because of all these reasons, the shady dealings inside the city are difficult to find out.
Moreover, in these days, people are not ready to believe in vampire or werewolf things, so nobody in the city knows about the rogue attacks that happened two days ago.
On the outer surface city seems to be a peaceful and pleasant city in the mornings, whereas, in the nights, it appears to be like a calm devil raised from the underworld ready to swallow whoever comes in her way.
Only he knows how this city will be in a few days. The precious daughter he is trying hard to protect from the other world will come to light very soon.
As he is in his thoughts, it is becoming late for him to vanish; when he was about to disappear, Carla clutched his hand, asking him not to leave her alone again.
She dazedly opened her eyes and looked into the man's eyes.
Those eyes she often saw in her dreams closing permanently to protect and safeguard her.
Those were similar eyes once parted with her unwillingly and never looked back.
His eyes in golden brown color, looked at her lovingly.
She dazedly hugged him back, saying papa, the mysterious man, stunned for a moment not moving. His breathing became very light.
He never appeared before her when she was conscious; it was purely a daughter's instinct, which made her call him papa.
The mysterious man surprised and stayed with her until dawn, whereas Carla slept peacefully, hugging him and in the middle, shifting into his lap.
Now the man is sitting on the bed, having Carla's head in his lap. The pure-blooded vampire who showed no mercy to anyone after his wife's departure is now sitting like a statue with teary eyes.
Overwhelmed with happiness, he patted her head lovingly till it became early morning.
When he got a message from his kingdom, he slowly placed her head on the pillow and vanished without leaving a trace of his arrival.
The sun dazzling on the sky with a fresh morning, and the chirps of birds became louder and louder.
The beaches here filled with the shadow of the mountains far from it.
Today is a recent day in Winden city for the ordinary people, but for supernatural ones, hmm.. let's see what happens.
Carla is still sleeping with a beautiful smile plastered on her face. Margery and Easton came to her bedroom to wake her up.
When they saw her sleeping in peace, they both are unwilling to wake up. Eston became emotional, looking at his niece.
He is worried, thinking about what she will become in the future.
As a princess, ruling this kingdom is her birthright. But what if she doesn't possess any powers..? how will she overcome her struggles..?
The only good sign is her eye color, which indicates she can be a vampire, but what about her mother's powers.
Understanding his concerns, Margery shook his shoulder and said, let us leave this for the future.
Saying Margery patted lovingly, Carla's head woke her up. Carla opened her eyes, looked at them, and asked.
"Does anyone stayed in my room after I slept? I can feel the warmth till now."
Easton and Margery looked at each other shaking their heads at the same time, said no.
Carla humming to herself, "let it be might be one of my silly dreams.
Today is a good day; we need to go for a picnic. Yeah, get ready, both of you. we will leave after breakfast saying so Carla rushed into her bathroom before they can say no."
Easton and Margery went to get ready, shaking their heads in no. Adaline and Rome already woke up and were prepared in the kitchen for breakfast.
When Easton and Margery came to the kitchen, they informed servants to pack some refreshments for their picnic.
Adaline asked, "picnic! What picnic where are we going now.? I thought we would be resting in the house."
Easton said, "come on, Adaline, our princess wants an outing with us.
Through resting (clearing his throat), do you mean steamy, intense romance ha, ha? You don't have a chance for that today, sorry".
Adaline is all red with his words and glared at him. As if you don't do anything with poor Margery.
Oh oho not more intense than you both, dear Adaline, what do you say, Rome..? Easton never feels tried teasing them. Margery nudging him, "stop it, you silly.
I am going first time outing with you; I feel nervous.
Thinking about others' indifferent looks, I feel like staying in the home is a better idea.
These people are so much into gossips, you know," finishing she looked at Adaline.
Carla was just behind her when she said this. Shaking Margery, "come on, mamma, you can't live your life based on other people's ideas. It is your life; uncle Easton came back after a long time.
You should enjoy your life with your loved ones, who what unfolds tomorrow.
On the other hand, it's time to announce uncle Rome and aunt Adaline relationship, right uncle Rome".
Of course, young miss, after all, we can't live in shadows like this.
I want to declare my rights on dear Adaline, so you can stop looking at those filthy professors in your school --Rome gave Adaline a warning look.
Hehe, what's wrong in looking at them? They are handsome and rich.
Moreover, they are the ones who are interested in Adaline, not the other way right Adaline, Margery defended her.
By the way, Easton, our very strict principal have a secret admirer in our school, do you know this..?
I am the witness for her being gifted with flowers frequently -- Rome smiled wickedly.
Easton narrowed his eyes and gave a stern look to Margery.
Carla laughing at their possessiveness, said, look at you. All possessive like a male alpha wolf who is declaring war.
Everyone looked at her shockingly, thinking she might know something about the attack.
It's just a joke. How can be a thing wolves come one? We are living in a 21st century now -- Carla reasoned.
Easton "okay, okay, stop this now, we are getting late for the picnic, so get ready, everyone. We should leave now," saying, so he took everyone out of the mansion, pacifying Adaline not to think much about Carla's comment.
Easton happily rubbed his hands, showing them the latest version of Mercedes Maybach. The car looked terrific with pure black color. Eston is always fond of cars.
Wow, uncle Easton how did you get this car even before it got launched? It is fantastic -- Carla exclaimed from behind them.
The maids placed the baskets in the backside of the car, and they went happily with Easton driving the vehicle, and Carla bugging him to teach driving.
Soon they reached a beautiful beach with fewer people surrounding it.
Easton said to get away from the car so that he will park it and joining them.
They reached a clean spot and settled there with baskets. Eston joined them immediately after parking the car.
Carla said, uncle Easton, you might not have seen a city as beautiful as Winden.
Winden is one of the most beautiful tourist spots for Mauritius.
Do you know, yearly by year, the city is becoming more beautiful but more mysterious..?
Sometimes I feel like someone is lurking in the forest that is standing back side of these beaches.
Like someone ready to destroy us once we let our guard down, I often feel like there is more than we can see in this city. Isn't it mamma -- she looked at Adaline.
They all looked at her like they saw a ghost.
Easton laughed it off, easing the tension and said, "oho, it's all in your brain, darling Carla.
I feel like this city is charming to live with family. You shouldn't think like this."
Carla just smiled and didn't share her thoughts further. She understood even though they knew something, they will never share with her.
Margery and Adaline looked at each other worriedly, whereas Rome and Easton looked at each other, nodding their heads, agreeing with the unspoken words.
