Marcel of The Lone Mountains- A Vampyre’s story Chapter Eleven
Marcel’s POVDays turned into weeks and weeks into months.I have settled into a peaceful life with Blackledge Pack, it is about as different from my previous life as you could possibly get. The people here are all one big family. They hear each others thoughts, work together in everything they do, raise their children, or pups, as a community, and everyone has a place.I know I don’t really belong here, the wolves are not my kind, but I feel more at home with the pack than I ever felt under Halen’s roof. The old woman I met my first day here, Gladys, has become a real friend to me. She and Imelda have known one another since well before my time and it turns out Imelda is partially responsible for the pack's supernatural longevity. Imelda’s magic draws on their ancestral bond with the land and life is literally funnelled into the collective. I can’t help wondering if Halen knew exactly what lie within these woods or if he simply knew that whatever it was, was beyond his reach and unde
Marcel of The Lone Mountains- A Vampyre’s story Chapter Twelve
Evangeline’s POVMy visions of this evening have been pretty accurate up until this point. I saw the cave, the stake, even the flowers, but I did not foresee the conflict between Constance and myself. I have lived through each and every day, spurred on by the thought of putting an end to Halen’s tyranny and getting justice for the slaughter of my family and destruction of my home. Not once did it occur to me that Constance would want to slay her demon.She has lived under his rule for much longer than I, and if I am honest with myself I know she has earned the right to be the one who uses the stake, but I can not let go of the burning hatred that drives me, I will never get over it if I fail to fulfil my vow to end him.“He will be in the library soon and the fire should already be lit.” Constance whispers and looks at the bundle of pale blue flowers in my hand.“I will meet you there. I just need to get a couple of things from my room. Do you have everything you need?” I ask her gent

Clarence’s POV I knew I shouldn’t have blocked the mind link before coming down here. I thought everything was in hand. By the looks of Gilbert, the threat is real and there is no time to waste. There is no sense in running out there without knowing what we are running into, that just leads to mistakes, not something our vampyre friend concerns himself with. Marcel doesn’t hesitate for even a split second before disappearing out of the chamber and back up the tunnel in a blur of black. The cloak he always wears whips about behind him as we stand in awe of his speed. I don’t think any of us have seen him move so fast, he has been holding back in his morning ritual of racing the little ones. “What exactly is happening?” I calmly ask my middle son as we jog up the tunnel and into the house. I know Imelda’s shield will keep rogues out of our territory, but that doesn’t mean the pups won’t accidentally stray across the magical border. “Five rogues are pacing the barrier on the western b
Marcel of The Lone Mountains- A Vampyre’s story Chapter Fourteen
Evangeline’s POVHalen takes a step backwards and turns his attention to Constance. He looks at her in a way I have never seen before. Disappointment perhaps, a hint of anger, maybe a bit of fear. His brows knit tightly on his forehead and his mouth pulls into a tight line across his face.The smoke from the flowers is thickening and settling in a barely noticeable cloud against the high ceiling. It isn’t going to do any good up there. The stake in my hand is getting heavy and my wrist aches from its physical weight but it’s the mental act of waiting that is consuming my energy.“I did this all for you, my love. To protect you and keep you safe. You do not understand the dangers beyond our gates.” Halen begins his appeal to Constance’s conscience and the love she once had for him. He knows her to be weak, which is not true. She is the strongest woman in this god forsaken place, there is more to strength than brute force. Enduring this sorry excuse of a man for centuries is a testament
Marcel of The Lone Mountains- A Vampyre’s story Chapter Fifteen
Imelda’s POVThe midnight sky glows orange and the black smoke from Blackledge castle billows into the sky, choking out the silver light of the moon.She did it, they both did. My daughter succeeded where mother and I failed and I could not be more proud of her, of both of them.I can do nothing but watch from my hill top position as they ride away from this cursed place. Lady Constance has been a most unexpected gift. Her allegiance and open mind made this victory possible, she is not like him, her husband. It is clear where Marcel inherited his kind nature and pure heart. She isn’t as unencumbered as her son, there is darkness and pain in her heart, but not because of what she is. Her pain is caused by the curse of another goddess and the missing part of her soul.In their infinite wisdom, the blessed mother and the moon goddess bound a werewolf man and a human woman. I like to think they hoped to unite the races, but who am I to guess at the inner workings of a deity’s mind? Whatev
Marcel of The Lone Mountains- A Vampyre’s story Chapter sixteen
Marcel’s POV Warm, clear water laps lazily at my ankles and I hold on to the side of the boat, my legs have only just gotten used to the rocking of the waves and now the soft sand slipping beneath my feet is a welcome reprieve. The midday sun beats down from the heavens and I fall to my knees, soaking myself as the rest of the pack do the same. The two day crossing to the Northern Islands was uneventful for the most part. The pups excitedly chattered of the adventure ahead, none of them having ever left their protected home in Blackledge Woods. Rosie has barely left my side since I found her and her friends hiding from the insurgents, all of them huddled in a shivering mass near the entrance of a cave. I have been rather less excited, I have never travelled more than a few days from home, and it turns out I am not well suited to travelling, particularly by sea if this experience was anything to go by.. The sickness came on suddenly and violently but thankfully the crossing was brief
Marcel of The Lone Mountains- A Vampyre’s story Chapter Seventeen
Evangeline’s POVTelling Marcel about the circumstances of our departure from Blackledge was difficult for me, the act of taking a life still weighs on my conscience, though not as heavily as it had done at the time. He remained stoic throughout the entire recount. Constance was very succinct, sparing some of the minor details but still holding everyone’s attention with her story.Alpha Clarence, Alpha Ignacious and Luna Lucia were all present, as well as Matteau, who she sat in the arms of the entire time. Tonight has been full of surprises for all of us, some good, others troubling. Constance did not appear as taken aback by the appearance of her lost love as I had anticipated. I, on the other hand, was struck dumb by the sudden appearance of Imelda as Constance and I sought the cover of the woods so that we could make our way to the coast in its relative safety.She appeared out the shadows, her long hair billowing behind her, her scarf loosely wrapped around her neck. She barely l
Marcel of The Lone Mountains- A Vampyre’s story Chapter Eighteen
Marcel’s POVThe whole time they talked about the threat coming for us and the death of Halen, all I could see inside my mind were the images of what could have happened to her, to my Eva.She is here now, in my arms, the heat of her flesh warms my own and her whimpering gasps as I explore her depths with my hand set my soul alight. She calls it her sacred place and it is a most appropriate name. I would spend forever on my knees, worshipping at her alter, and my life would be well spent.“Mar.. Marcel...” she stutters my name between gasps as my tongue tastes the salty glean on her skin. My knees sink into the loose sand and her fingers glide along my scalp as she takes hold of my hair in fisted fingers.She always does that. Tries to stop me as I lower my head to taste her, but her resolve soon dissolves and rather than trying to keep me at a safe distance she pulls me closer. Her hips rock steadily, her grip tightens on my hair and the fingers buried inside her. My tongue glides be
