After a successful coil, Olivia's party heads back to her mansion in Bucharest at frosty dawn. The journey back to Hungary from Romania took them all morning reaching the Hungarian capital by noon.
"This is where we'll settle for a couple of days," said Olivia.
Damien wraps a silver chain around Mark preventing him from shifting, sealing it with a locker.
" Drag him to the basement the beast has a lot of questions to answer," said Emelia.
"Don't worry yourself I'll keep my eyes set on this monster. He's not going to escape under my supervision," replied Damien.
" big bro, don't push yourself too hard just lock him up in the basement. He won't shift that easily unless the Bloodmoon rises again," answered Rosé.
" what about big ugly over there shifted to his human form. I fed him a garlic cube to keep his form away. " implied Victor as he lights up the cigarette coughing fogs out of his mouth.
" tie him in front of the mirror since he doubts that they exist, facing it will be trouble for him," stated Olivia.
The whole party indulges in the mansion being directed to their resting chambers each with its balcony. The mansions backyard carries ann orchid maze leaders a stunning garden chaperoned peaceful pond. When Olivia took a moment to sight the beautiful creation.
Ann's old memory of her father reveals he has a sister who got wedded to the vampire royal family.
-two years ago-
"Do you ever wondered what happened to your sister? " asked Denis.
" I don't know. Out of curiosity what d to her ?" she said.
" when your sister was born she possessed vampire powers which were beyond her control," he said.
"does that mean I'm a vampire since I'm related to her? " said Olivia.
" yes-s because of your mother you and your sister have vampire blood running through your veins, I only sent your sister away to protect you from harm," shouted Denise.
"If I didn't then..." sighted Denise.
"Then what happens?" asked Olivia.
"your soul would have been claimed by the vampire King, remember to find your sister at the underworld ".
After a dim memory of her father, she marched to the secret door, searching and skimming for her family's album. A big pocketbook collapsed to the floor, it was the album she was looking for. Flapping pages back and forth reaching the near end a photo of her sister in her mid-teens. Valery looked so much like Olivia. The same gold necklace is worn from one sister to another.
The only problem the two sisters faced was not being able to recognize each other. They haven't even met since birth. Olivia heads to the basement with a notepad prepared to jot down answers from the hominid-born Mark. She brought garlic for Zeke as vampires were vulnerable.
Inside the medieval basement, Victor and Damien guarded the two foes locked them up in a human-made steel cage.
Olivia walks in with determination, " I'll begin with Mark and end with Zeke both of you stay vigilant okay." said Olivia.
" Okay-y" replied Damien.
" We won't let you down, count on us," said Victor.
Olivia gets hold of two voice recorders one for the hominid while the other was for Zeke. She Unfolds a questionnaire pack with a handful of questions.
" Alright let's start with you Mr wolf! " shouted Olivia.
"they call me Mark and I believe you should too " stated Mark.
" Mark, What triggers you to shift into a werewolf? "Asked Olivia.
" I'll transform when I'm hyper, angry, or have to protect somebody the shifting is uncomfortable itself that's why it's a curse," replied Mark.
"Why did you join the alpha? What happened to your clan? " Asked Olivia.
" my first shift occurred when I was eight years, a gang member tried to kill me so I ate him I didn't think twice. In my teens, I was curious about the wolf packs left being a civilized human and went to live like a Savage in the woods. Heard I couple of howlings nearby it was the alpha pack. "said Mark. He began to cough slowly.
" get him some water, Victor," stated Olivia.
Victor grants Mark a glass of water watching him gulp into his dry lungs.
" I was still in my human form as the alpha drew closer ready to attack me due to my normal rogue smell," said Mark.
" What happened next ?" asked Olivia.
"I just wanted to protect myself from danger, I shifted into a fearless brown wolf. Ralph leader of the alpha pack watched me annihilate his companions, he was pretty impressed by my strength I became his right-hand man." replied.
" I'd like to see how if you're strong enough to break silver," said Olivia.
" I wouldn't be here if I didn't join the alpha," he said.
Olivia walks out of the basement leaving Mark Locked up in the cell.
She started to believe in her father's words. Indeed humanoids lived among the human race answering calls of the moon goddess, obeying her commands lurking at night. Victor checks up on Emelia in her room barging in capturing her in flawless white
gowns standing at the balcony.
"Hey Victor, I knew you would come to me, " said Emelia.
"I just can't live without you by my side," he said.
" Victor, " she signs. her cheeks redden.
" I wanna stay here by your side, hold your hand forever," said Victor.
" promise to not leave me ever again, "gasped Jasmine.
" I promise not to leave your side ever again, that's my oath to you, Emelia, " said, Victor.
" My heart will forever be with you, " said, Emelia.
" I love you, Emelia, " said Victor.
Emelia slowly walked to Victor starring at him with her focused blue eyes. She places her hands on his shoulder.
" I love you too..." she whispers into his ear. Emelia connects her lips with Victor's kissing him slowly for about a minute or two.
They heard a soft knock on the door opening as Rosé caught the duvet cuddling each other. She covers her mouth using her hand.
" Oh my, two love birds making out, sorry to interrupt," said Rosé.
" Yes-s we do love each other, "said Emelia.
" she'll rule my heart as my Queen and I'll be there to protect her as King of her heart, " replied Victor.
" I knew it from the start. The two of you had something for each other, especially the Irish O'Shea tap dance you were so good for each other," said Olivia.
Emelia gripped her teeth in fear of how her friend she has known for more than a decade was going to react. Olivia glanced at her hiding away her emotions. Rosé left the duvet and Olivia at the balcony crushing the door open, running her way to Damien. Rosé arrives in time shaking her brother who was fast asleep, he opened his eyes awakened by the shaking.
" What happened?" asked Damien.
" You've just fallen asleep. You're supposed to keep an eye on Mark, " Said Rosé.
" Mark is right here, " replied Damien.
" if Mark is here then where's Zeke?" Asked Rosé.
Damien's heart dropped as he began searching for Zeke. Mark laughs at the two siblings who looked confused.
" You fools, Zeke has escaped already and there's no way you'll capture him now, " said Mark.
" Where is he ?" asked Damien.
" He's probably heading back to the castle, he'll soon start the plague on you pathetic humans, there's nothing you can do to stop him now, " replied Zeke.
" The plague ?, It doesn't sound right at all, " said Damien.
Damien and Rosé alarmed Olivia and the rest of the party about Zeke's plague about spreadingdingquickly throughout Bucharest. What lies in store for humanity? Will Olivia find her Sister? Or will Mark find his Mate?
" Mount on your horses we have to stop Zeke before the plague spreads wide, " said Olivia.
" Don't forget to put on protective gear, you don't wanna die on your way, " said Emelia.
" I heard the plague has started spreading across Bucharest, the vampire army has been awakened by Zeke, " said Damien.
"Who knows how many people died out there, " replied Rosé.
The magic spell book flaps pages urging Olivia to go through it. She went through the Glossary and found the page containing a solution to stop the plague from spreading any further. Olivia read the first line of the plague.

" No way. This can't be happening the 1771 plague is back and it's deadlier than ever, " said Olivia.
" Soon the Hungarian government will shut down its borders, no one will be able to move in and out of the country," replied Victor.
" Zeke is a genius he won't plan this for nothing, he probably wants something from us," said Malissa.
" Then he leaves me no choice I'll have to give him exactly what he wants," said Olivia.
" Who knows what he wants anyway?" said Emelia.
" He wants your soul," said Mark pointing his finger at Olivia. Olivia knew that Zeke desired her soul to perform a ritual only possible at the underworld.
Mark made his way to the party downstairs with a metal bar in his hands.
"Before Zeke escaped he told me the main reason allowed himself to get captured by you humans," said Mark. Bending the cage iron bars using his super strength leaving everyone present shock.
" How did you escape?" asked Damien.
" I unlocked the padlock, while you were arguing amongst yourselves. This is the right time for the alpha pack to join forces with the Midnight pack," said Mark.
He ran out of the mansion making his way to the wilderness, sniffing Ralph's scent a few miles away from him. With the plague spreading Mark couldn't risk wandering around Bucharest. He swans into the river until he could smell Ralph again.
" Let's confront Zeke and his plans," said Rosé.
" We can't do that! He'll send us to the underworld and redirect Heide's back from the dead, at the expense of Olivia's Soul," said Emelia.
Zeke spread the 1771 plague across Bucharest infections raised to a hundred cases per region. With hospitals strained with sick patients, Zeke took advantage of healthy humans by devouring blood commiting mortal murder.
He Recalls his loyal servant, Orion, from the underworld, assigned to capture Olivia Patterman and seize her party.
" Orion. My loyal servant, bring Olivia Patterman back to me. We need her to perform the ritual, " said Zeke.
" Consider it done, " said Orion.
" I'm counting on you, you may take 5 fallen Angels with you, " said Zeke.
Five fallen angels descended from the portal of the underworld flapping their black wings each of them took a knee in obedience.
"Get up, You're going to be my soldiers and we must accomplish our assignment no matter what it takes, " grasped Orion.
The fallen angels soared above the clouds alongside Orion sighting Olivia's Mansion near the wilderness. Orion led the loot breaking the window of the master bedroom.
" Spread out and find her, she must be somewhere in here," commanded Orion as he flew inside the master bedroom.
