chapter 1
Shadows began to move. From the darkness emerged figures with gleaming red eyes, their movements swift and a war cry that school the leaves.....
As the battle commenced, Sarah was a whirlwind of motion, her every move was precise and powerful. Ralph,the vampire lord, appeared from the shadows, his fangs bared in a sinister grin " your reign shall ends tonight Ralph" Sarah yelled, charging forward. Laughter and growls mingled in the cold air as the ultimate showdown began...
"The moonlight illuminated Sarah's path, guiding her toward Ralph with diligence. That's when she saw it – the face of the one she thought was dead and gone. She froze, her eyes locked on his features, scrutinizing every detail.
'Jeffrey?' she whispered, her voice barely audible.
Ralph's mind was racing, determined not to let Sarah get inside his head again. He made a swift move to sweep her off her feet, but Sarah detected it just in time and dodged the attempt with surprising agility.
"The name's Ralph," he gritted through clenched teeth, as they exchanged blows.
"You...you're Ralph?" Sarah stuttered, dodging his attack.
Ralph ignored her question and swung again. This time, Sarah's anger boiled over, and she charged at him childishly. Ralph seized the opportunity, swiftly capturing her wrists and teleporting her against the nearest tree.
He gazed into her ocean-blue eyes, his thoughts racing: "How much trouble will I get myself into? I'm completely in love with her."
With a sigh, he spoke, attempting to sound tough: "Look, Sarah...I'm the new vampire lord, your sworn enemy. There's nothing to be done about it."
Sarah felt overwhelmed, her emotions swirling. She missed him terribly. As Ralph spoke, she listened, entranced by his face.
Noticing her silence, Ralph loosened his grip on her wrists, placing his hands on her waist and drawing her in. He bent closer, his breath whispering against her neck: "I came to reveal my true identity. Next time won't be as easy. Be prepared."
With a loud, blood-curdling scream, Ralph vanished into thin air, leaving Sarah stunned. His vampire allies retreated, joining their lord.
As Ralph turned back, he linked to his soulmate and said, "I'm sorry." Closing his eyes, he sighed, mounted his horse, and rode away with his followers..
As Ralph vanished into the night, Sarah stood frozen, her mind reeling from the encounter. She couldn't process the mix of emotions: shock, confusion, and a hint of longing. The tree's rough bark dug into her back, but she didn't notice.
"Why did he come here?" she wondered."How is he a vampire lord and what does he want from me?"
Sarah's thoughts swirled around Ralph's words: "I'm the new vampire lord...your foe." The title seemed to contradict the gentle way he touched her waist and the softness in his eyes.
She remembered the whispered apology and the sincerity in his voice. It didn't add up. The Jeffrey she remembered was a timid and weak humans that was saved from the vampires a year ago, so how is it possible that he became a vampire lord in just three months which he disappeared...
As the night wore on, Sarah's pack members approached her cautiously, sensing her turmoil. They asked questions, but she just shook her head, unable to articulate her thoughts.she has a lot running through her mind not to even talk about the feelings she has for him..
One question echoed in her mind: "What will happen next time?"
