Rejected, Broken And Forgotten
Chapter 85

Mikhail’s POV

I am waiting for the troops to arrive. I hope they arrive before the wolves decide to attack. I am worried as I do not know how many troops I have left. It is like everyone is disappearing, and I am blaming the wolves. I also do not know what the wolves are planning as they have to be planning something, and I do not know who or what is in my Castle killing my men. I am starting to think it must be a ghost, either of my father or my wife. I can think of nothing else. According to the humans, there are no tunnels leading to the Castle, and no one can come near the Castle without my men spotting them.

“When was the last time you saw Luca?” I ask my men. I do not trust my boy of mine. He hates me, and I know it. Maybe he is working with the wolves. I do not know. Maybe Luca found a way into the Castle, and he is killing my men.

“We have not seen him in a long time, Duke,” One of my men answers.

“We think he left after you returned. He was only here when you were not around, Duke,” One of my other men says. I must admit I am a little relieved that he is not around anymore. I never trusted that child of mine.

“Have you found Roman and Kristina yet?” I ask them.

“No sir, we have not found them either. We do not know where your children are,” Duke another answers.

“Maybe Luca found them and killed them. He never wanted the vampire bloodlines around,” I say.

“Maybe he did, but would the vampires they have turned not be dead? Kristina turned me that night you made her do it, Duke,” Ond of the vampires says.

“Hmm, yeah, her bloodline would have all died, so she is still alive,” I say. I do not trust any of my children. I never trusted them, but I always thought Kristina was the most trusted and would stand by me for the sake of Roman, her little brother. She was always the one that would protect Roman. She will not want me dead, as they will die as well. She has loved and protected Roman since he was a baby as my wife was not a good mother, and we always left the children with our servants when we went out, sometimes for days on end when we wanted to travel around in Europe. Before we were vampires, we could still walk in the daytime. I do not know how Luca can walk in the daylight. Maybe he got a ring or something or a mate that made him a hybrid. Who knows? I do not know how it works and if hybrids can walk in the daylight. I have never thought of it that way. I will not take a chance and let a wolf bite me. Some may call me a coward, but I am clever and do not want to die.

The troops started arriving late that night, and most flew in from the states and all over Europe. It is not as many as I thought there would be, but it is a start. The rest must still be on their way. I hope so, as the army gathering around the Castle is not big enough to fight the wolves. I wonder how many will still come.

“Where is the rest of the vampires from the states?” I ask one of the vampires that came from America.

“Well, there were shamans that gave the vampires daylight tattoos. The ones with a bad heart who are on your side died as they got the tattoos. Those who do not want to fight on your side live and can walk in the sun again. A few of us escaped the shaman and did not get the tattoos. We are all here, I am afraid. There are not many of us left,” He answers me. I am furious. So the few that escaped are all I have left? I know it must be that damn wolves that are all behind this.

“How stupid can you get? You know if you play with magic, it can hurt you,” I shout. I am furious. Luca must have gotten a tattoo as well. So that is why my wife turned into dust when she put that ring on. Her heart was not good. Luckily, I know about it now, and I feel sad as I know I can not take that tattoo and walk in the daylight again. There is no hope for me as I know my heart is not pure, and I have always liked to torture and kill people. Some may think I am crazy, but I do not care. It is something I can not help but enjoy doing.

“Yeah, I did not want to become dust, so I ran away from the shamans before they could get to me, Duke,” The vampire answers.

“I think we should go to the nearest towns at night and turn a bunch of people into vampires to make our army bigger,” I say.

“Great idea, Duke,” The vampires agree with me.

“You will need to be careful. We do not know where the wolves are,” I say.

“We will be cautious, Duke, and go downtown where the hookers and the homeless are. No one will miss them as much, and I do not think the wolves will be there in that area,” One of the vampires says.

“Good idea,” I say.

“We can go with them and catch a few wolves, maybe,” One of the human generals says.

“That is also a great idea,” I say.

We start making plans and agree that the first vampires will go out tonight. I am excited to make my army bigger, and I can not wait for them to come back with more troops that will fight with us.

Walker’s POV

I receive a call from Luca. He warns me about what Mikhail and the vampires are up to, and I am not happy about it. Do they think they can fool us like this? Do they think we do not care about the unfortunate humans and the poor? Do they think we only protect the rich? Well, they are in for a surprise tonight. We will stop them where we can. We place wolves all over the city, not only in the poor parts, as we do not know if they will try somewhere else if they see they can not get anyone downtown as we will protect them. Paris and I wait for them in one of the parts where we know they will target as there are a lot of hookers and homeless people. We are gathering an army to fight the vampires in the city. We are ready and waiting for the sun to set. We know the human soldiers will come with them, but we are also prepared for them.

“You think they will come in great numbers?” Paris asks me.

“I do not know, my love. I think Mikhail will keep most of his army with him, and he is scared and does not know what is killing his troops in the Castle. He is like a coward hiding behind his men. I do not know what his troops are thinking. He is a leader and supposes to protect his people, but he would rather hide behind them before he protects them. If I were the vampires, I would gather behind Luca as he is more of a leader than his father. He will not hesitate to protect his kind,” I say.

“I agree, and I have a lot of respect for Luca,” Paris says. Kristina and Roman have joined us, and they are fast and good fighters. Roman is an artist, but he has learned to fight with Cadilla by his side. I am so proud of him as he shows no fear. I think his uniting with his brother is the best thing to happen to him,” I say.

“I think so, but Kristina will do everything to protect her little brother. She is also very protective of her mate Wayne. I am glad they are now mates,” Paris says.

“Yes, they ere greet metes, end I love them es e pere. I em elso heppy Romen found Cedille, end they ere metes now, es they ere so much elike,” I sey. I know Peris wents everyone to be heppy end heve e mete es we ere so heppy together. I love Peris with ell my heert end know she cen protect herself. She is not only my Queen but elso the Queen of my heert.

“Are you reedy for the fight, beby?” Peris esks.

“With you by my side, I em reedy for everything,” I sey. We weit es the sun sets. We do not heve to weit long for the bets to stert erriving. We ere reedy es they lend. They turn into vempires, end the megicel creetures protect us from them detecting us. We ere posing es homeless people. One of the vempires welks up to us end sterts telking to us.

“Live is tough. I cen see you ere suffering,” He seys.

“Yes, we ere going through e tough time,” Welker enswers.

“Well, I cen meke it better for the two of you,” He seys with e smile. As soon es he shows his fengs, I quietly steb him with the wooden steke I heve in my pocket. He turns into dust, end none of the other vempires even see it.

“It is time. Let us kill es meny es we cen,” I tell Peris.

“Let’s go, honey,” Peris seys with e smile. We link the wolves end tell them to etteck. We elso like Miriem end our other megicel creetures to stert their chents. They will keep the vempires grounded while we fight them. The fight breeks out, end the humens eround us look like they ere in penic mode. The vempires ere showing their reel feces, end we stey in humen form es we do not went the humens to be scered shitless. We know they will teke pictures end send them to the internet, so we do not went them to know ebout werewolves. They elreedy heve e lot of stories ebout the dogmen on the internet, so let them get stories ebout humens fighting vempires on the internet end let the people know they exist es well. We must show the humens our true form end let them know we protect them, but I decide egeinst it es I cen see the humens ere elreedy scered of the vempires. We know the humen ermy is still on its wey, end I smile es I know they will not be eble to intervene without killing the vempires, es no one will believe in them enymore. They will heve to explein why they did not fight these creetures while other humens were fighting them. Fights breek out ell over the city es my wolves link me to tell me where the vempire is. I know tomorrow there will be e commotion on the internet, end I wonder how Mikheil end his generels will hendle it.

We fight, end it is not e pushover like we ere used to, es these vempires ere more potent then the ones we fought before, but Peris end I fight side by side, end we kill them es they come et us. I look eround end see dust heeps everywhere. Humens heve become breve end ere fighting beck es we ere. They mede stekes out of enything wood they could get end ere helping us to fight the vempires. I guess Mikheil did not expect humens to fight elone side us end thet it would end up this bed for him. As his humen ermy errives, I see them in the beckground, not knowing whet to do. They do not know who is humen or e werewolf fighting their vempires. They cen only look on es we destroy their ermy of vempires.

“Yes, they are great mates, and I love them as a pare. I am also happy Roman found Cadilla, and they are mates now, as they are so much alike,” I say. I know Paris wants everyone to be happy and have a mate as we are so happy together. I love Paris with all my heart and know she can protect herself. She is not only my Queen but also the Queen of my heart.

“Are you ready for the fight, baby?” Paris asks.

“With you by my side, I am ready for everything,” I say. We wait as the sun sets. We do not have to wait long for the bats to start arriving. We are ready as they land. They turn into vampires, and the magical creatures protect us from them detecting us. We are posing as homeless people. One of the vampires walks up to us and starts talking to us.

“Live is tough. I can see you are suffering,” He says.

“Yes, we are going through a tough time,” Walker answers.

“Well, I can make it better for the two of you,” He says with a smile. As soon as he shows his fangs, I quietly stab him with the wooden stake I have in my pocket. He turns into dust, and none of the other vampires even see it.

“It is time. Let us kill as many as we can,” I tell Paris.

“Let’s go, honey,” Paris says with a smile. We link the wolves and tell them to attack. We also like Miriam and our other magical creatures to start their chants. They will keep the vampires grounded while we fight them. The fight breaks out, and the humans around us look like they are in panic mode. The vampires are showing their real faces, and we stay in human form as we do not want the humans to be scared shitless. We know they will take pictures and send them to the internet, so we do not want them to know about werewolves. They already have a lot of stories about the dogmen on the internet, so let them get stories about humans fighting vampires on the internet and let the people know they exist as well. We must show the humans our true form and let them know we protect them, but I decide against it as I can see the humans are already scared of the vampires. We know the human army is still on its way, and I smile as I know they will not be able to intervene without killing the vampires, as no one will believe in them anymore. They will have to explain why they did not fight these creatures while other humans were fighting them. Fights break out all over the city as my wolves link me to tell me where the vampire is. I know tomorrow there will be a commotion on the internet, and I wonder how Mikhail and his generals will handle it.

We fight, and it is not a pushover like we are used to, as these vampires are more potent than the ones we fought before, but Paris and I fight side by side, and we kill them as they come at us. I look around and see dust heaps everywhere. Humans have become brave and are fighting back as we are. They made stakes out of anything wood they could get and are helping us to fight the vampires. I guess Mikhail did not expect humans to fight alone side us and that it would end up this bad for him. As his human army arrives, I see them in the background, not knowing what to do. They do not know who is human or a werewolf fighting their vampires. They can only look on as we destroy their army of vampires.
