Candela

BEFORE THE WAR

“We must move now!” Blade insisted as he gritting his teeth. His father, along with the North Territory King stared at him, deep. As if those eyes are searching for something. “What? You all going to stare at me for the whole damn day? My mate is on their hands… she is their captive. We must do something now or else, it would be late for all of us.” he added, letting go of a deep breath he’s been holding.

“Blade my son… you know we can’t rush things,” Magnus replied, giving him a soft emotion.

“We can’t rush things? But we’re been waiting for almost a week by now. Now telling me that we shouldn’t rush things–”

“Enough, Young Crimson!” It was shout from the North King that made him stopped. “We can’t move in this night, Crimson. You must understand that it was not your mate’s life that is in danger. All our life are on danger, Crimson… know that!”

“But–”

“No buts, Crimson. You will going to follow us, you don’t do any move without us knowing it. Tomorrow dawn, we are going to start our journey to the Middle Castle. By morning, we will reach their territory and we will save your mate. Just stay put for a while, just wait for the perfect time.” The Lord said before leaving the conference room where the council’s members are.

Blade father, Magnus gave him a warning look. “Listen to us, Blade… just wait and we will save Candela…”

When his father also leave the room, the councils followed him. Leaving him alone with burning eagerness to do the first move. If only he could. If only he is allowed to do so, he won’t think twice on getting Candela out of that kingdom.

“Oh, God! Rabbit… I hope you’re still okay. Just hold on tighter, don’t loose hope. I am going to save you,” he silently mumbled as remembering Candela’s face as he saw him with the help of their family’s trusted warlock.

They jailed his mate. They jailed his rabbit on to the highest peak of the castle. The last time Blade abled to watched Candela through the crystal ball is when she is crying hard while continously uttering his name.

It made his heart shattered into pieces. Seeing his precious mate in tears and he can’t even do anything to wipe those tears away. Suddenly, he felt useless. He couldn’t help it but to somehow blame his self… to blame himself for leaving Candela that morning. If he just didn’t leave her side… then he’s freely hugging Candela.

Bit what could he do? It’s too late for his regrets. I can’t bring Candela back to his arms again. The only way to have her back is to save her tomorrow dawn… by hook or by crook.

Hell will freeze but he will not allow anyone to separate them again. Mark his words. He will going to save her…

THE WAR

Just like what the North King said, they’ve reached the Middle Territory in the morning. At first, they saw nothing but a giant castle standing proud at the middle of the forest but when they came closer, they saw thousands of knights. Seems like waiting for their arrival.

Minutes have passed but there are no attack came from their opponent. They were just looking at each other, seems like examining each and every one’s capability.

“Welcome to my kingdom!” It was the evil moon goddess that break the silence engulfed the whole scene. Later on, they found out that she is standing at the middle of the knights. When the knights moved and creates way for her, she walked to the front of her servants. Ozzing in wickedness, in power.

“I’ve been waiting for all of you, my dear visitors. Actually, my kingdok is expecting each one of you.” She clapped making Blade boiled in annoyance.

He can’t restrain himself but to butt in, already. “Let’s drop the act, Amari. You know what’s our reason for coming here. Give me back my mate!” he growled.

Lord Magnus tried to stopped him but he just can’t remain silent in the corner as he watched Amari making a shitty act. He is done with it. He couldn’t wait for any longer, he’s really eager to hug and kiss Candela.

“Your mate?” Amari asked innocently. “Are you talking about my daughter, Candela? Oh… poor vampire. Didn’t I informed you about her coming wedding? She’s going to tie a knot with my friend’s son,” she announced that made him shout in disagreement.

Their side tried not to freak out but when one of the knight from the opponent’s side started an attack, it then send them into a deep fight. From the gate of the palace, the battle started. Knights are exchanging dangerous attacks, a sound of clashing swords reigned the whole scene. In just a span of time, lifeless body of vampires are lying on the ground while slowly turning into ashes.

When their side finally invaded the castle, they then welcomed by werewolves who are already in their werewolf form, ready to attack them. Being not aware on what are going to welcome them as they step inside the gate’s castle, many of their knights died because of the attack by those werewolves.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Even his father, Magnus got wounded. Fortunately, it wasn’t as deep just like what others got. When Blade roamed his eyes around, there are lots of werewolves protecting the main door of the palace. So, intead of using the door to go inside, he, along with Liam and the other knights jumped onto the balcony. They used it to go inside and as soon as they invaded the inside of the palace, Blade took his chance to search for Candela.

He leave his mens and Liam and started to open each doors he’s seeing, checking for his mate. But when he already opened all the doors, there were no Candela appeared. Only a smell of her that are coming from the last door he opened.

“Where the hell are you, Rabbit?!” he shouted, almost losing his sanity for not seeing her.

“Blade!” In the middle of his rage, Liam called him while running towards his place. “I think I know where she is,” he announced, enlivened his last string of hope.

“Where?” he asked.

When Liam pointed out his finger onto the huge window in fromt of them, his brows knotted.

“I just saw her, riding a horse unconsciously. Looked, she’s there… at the gate.” Liam said, pointing the woman he’s been looking for.

He patted Liam’s shoulder before running fast to Candela. It seems like all his energy came back just by seeing his mate even from afar. But still, it could not be enough for him… he must hug her as soon as possible.

“I am coming, Rabbit…” he said inside but immediately cursed loud when along his way, he saw a werewolf, carrying Candela’s body on his arms.

The werewolf was about to leave the war scene but Blade was fast enough to stop him. He did not waste any time, he blocked his way out.

“Put her down or else, your head will roll on the ground,” he dangerously threatened.

The werewolf’s eyes instantly widened as he saw him but eventually gained back from shock. He answered Blade a wick grin, showing him his not-affected face.

“Woah… woah… woah. Looks what we have here, My Luna.” Blade’s gritted his teeth when he heard him calling Candela as his Luna.

“Dream on, wolf… she is not your Luna. She is my mate and that only means that she is mine. Mine alone,” he said, giving emphasis on each words.

“Blade Crimson. Looks like we are meant to fight each other. I am not expecting that you will intentionally show yourself, hah. Well then I thanked you for doing that. At least, it would be easy for me to kill the vampire who killed my sister…”
