The envelope

By the end of the second day, we were on the private jet getting back to the palace. I would be lying if I denied how much I enjoyed these two days.

I took my new phone and start checking on my pictures, one after another. They all look perfect, I kinda like how I am changing.

I mean after turning into a hybrid, my body seems way too curvier than before, and my face seems prettier than before.

While looking at my pictures an idea popped into my mind, I raised my head toward Elijah, who seems a bit busy working on his laptop, and I asked

'' How does it come that I can see our faces in pictures?''

He took a while to look at me before he answered '' what are you talking about? ''

I hate when people answer my questions with other questions, I rolled my eyes then I explained the theory in my head to him while showing him one of our selfies.

'' I am a half-vampire, but you are a full vampire. Vampire don't suppose to have a reflection, how it happened that I can see the both of us in the pictures?'' He shut his laptop down then started laughing.

'' Oh my goodness! Out of all the stupid things you've ever said since we've met for the first time. This is the best one, you really believed all this matter said by a human about us. Let me guess! You also think that holy water would burn us alive, isn't??''

I looked at him a bit dumbfounded, then I huff and puff at him '' you know... It wouldn't kill you if you answered me without making fun of me.'' Seeing that I didn't like his reaction, he then stopped laughing, and we both kept on quiet for the rest of the way back.

It was dark when we finally arrived, the perfect time for vampires to enjoy life, or should I say death. Most of them were in the hall chatting, drinking, and doing whatever they were doing.

As we stepped in everyone went quiet, their eyes were all on us, watching all our moves.

In the middle of the hall was a gorgeous blond female vampire, along with two other good-looking male vampires. Unlike the others, they don't seem very affected by our presence.

With a fake smile on her face, she led the other two toward us. ''Elijah ... Darling!'' She called Elijah out, then threw herself on Elijah and kissed him in his check. Who the hell is she?

Elijah then introduced those three: "Princess Elisabeth! Let me introduce you to Lorena, Lazarus, and Daniel … Like Silas, those three are members of my squad, and together we will help you finish your training to become the mighty Hybrid you are.''

I smiled at the three of but only the two male vampires smiled back, the queen b*** simply ignored me.

She then whispered something into Elijah's ear, he then apologized to me and moved with three, and I was left alone … again.

[Liam's P.O.V]

It's being a week since my mate was taken from my place, it wouldn't be possible for vampires to get in without the help of an insider 'the unknown traitor'.

Besides Logan and Albert, I can't trust anyone. Every and each soldier is out looking for any lead that can get us close to where Elisabeth can be. We're sending an extra supply of verveine to every single pack in and out of the Kingdom.

The matter is getting extra serious, vampires are roaming around us, and clowning us. We need to bring Elizabeth back, then hit back at them.

As I'm getting close to my office, a strong smell hits on my nose … vampires. I broke into my office not thinking twice about what I'm going to do. To my surprise, no one but me was in the office. Yet, the smell of vampires is way stronger than before which means a vampire was really here.

An angry growl escaped out of me, I couldn't help but to feel angry, they went too far this time by breaking into my office. I felt my Lycan's fury, while he was asking for control.

As I gave him the control he was asking for, everything that stands in our way was destroyed in blink of an eye.

Due to the noise we were making, a bunch of useless guards hurried to the office.

By seeing them my fury got bigger and bigger. I immediately started attacking, and killing them all - one by one, until I got to the last one.

I grabbed the last standing one among the dead bodies from his collar, then I left him up "How hell could a vampire get through a bunch of our strongest fighters, then end up in my office, while you damn bunch of losers are on service."

I shouted waiting for an answer to my wondering, yet I did receive nothing.

I looked at the sweating guard in between my hands one last time before I tear his heart out from his body, and throw his lifeless body away from me.

Though no one was left beside me, I totally believe that everyone in the palace knew what was happening since they all can hear me, and smell the blood from the dead bodies.

I took the chance to give them all one last warning

"To anyone who can't afford to be responsible for his duties – You're free to leave. However, if you choose to stay in here, you'll have to learn how to take responsibility. Otherwise, your end will be in my hands.'' I threatened them all while crushing the heart in between my hands.

I decided to leave the whole palace for a run, I need to let my Lycan free for a while.

As I was about to leave, something caught my attention, in the middle of the files thrown around an envelope that does not belong to me was there.

I took the envelope and opened it ... then I wished if I didn't
