Who Is The Smugger?

"I thought the stupid throne crazy vampires dealt with you for me but looks like I was wrong. Due to that war thousand of years ago I lost my army. All these decades I've been trying to find a way to make my army alive and finally I found the way, but this girl ruined everything. Now, I'm going to finish her."

The smugger attacks Jane but Ellis summons his sword and stops it from doing so. The smugger gets angry and says, "You summoned your cosmos sword for this human girl. The smugger again attacks Jane. Jane feels like she can't move so tries to move. Suddenly the crown imprint on Jane's neck turns red and she gets free from the spell. Seeing Jane is free again the creature gets angry and fires a ray of lightening on Jane. As she gets hit, she gets thrown away but one of the werewolves manages to capture her safely. Seeing this Ellis gets angry and says, "How dare you harm my wife."

The smugger, werewolves and the creatures get shocked on hearing. Ellis lifts his hands on his sides and creates a huge cyclone that picks the smugger and throws it back into a huge pile of rocks. Then Ellis circles his hands and strikes the smugger again.

"You've crossed all your limits." says Ellis "You hurt my friends, innocent people and my wife. Letting you go, would be my biggest mistake."

"Not knowing you are alive, is my biggest mistake. Not knowing that human girl is your life is another big mistake. But I shall make no mistake from now on. I've lost the humans but I still can have my army." saying so the smugger throws rays of listening on the werewolf boys and captures them.

Seeing his boys are caught Luke transforms but Ellis stops him from attacking and says, "Luke, calm down. Your boys are my responsibility. I'll free them, trust me."

Luke transforms back.

Then Ellis summons his powers and strikes the smugger breaking his spell and frees the werewolf boys. Then the smugger attacks Denver but Luke intercepts the attack and gets hurt badly.

Seeing this Clive summons his powers and attacks the smugger, but the smugger easily misses the attack and strikes back attacking Clive, causing him to fall down unconscious.

Seeing all of this Ellis gets furious and says, "You've crossed your limits. It's time to end this now." Ellis summons his sword and strikes the smugger and throws him back in his hole and closes the portal hole. But before the hole closes the smugger says, "It's not over yet, I'll be back."

As the hole closes the ground clears up. Seeing everything around is back to normal and no evil darkness can be sensed, all take a sigh of relief.

As Ellis turns he sees Clive is still unconscious. Ellis instantly goes towards him. Joel and Denver are next to him. Ellis takes Clive's hand in his and revives him. Ellis gets dizzy in doing so, Denver catches him. As Ellis assures he's OK Luke also comes forward to check. Seeing Ellis is OK Luke asks, "Ellis what happened and what you said about Jane."

Denver replies, "When Clive faints, Ellis can revive him, but in doing so, he gets weak for a while depending on how much revival is needed. As for Jane, yes, she's our sister-in-law, his eternally chosen."

"But even if so, that doesn't explain why she was not possessed, unless she's already imprinted. ('Imprinted? Ellis is a vampire isn't he? Asks Nathan) There are some things common between werewolves and vampires, we both imprint our eternally chosen mates and we both get killed by silver bullets. Jane is imprinted by Ellis, the ruler of all beings, that's why that thing couldn't possess her."

Suddenly one werewolf boy asks, "By the way, what was that thing?"

Ellis gets up and gives Clive a hand to get up as well and says, "It was a smugger, an underworld being. Though to my knowledge they were banished from coming out, how he made his way to the earth, makes no sense. ('Weird looking fella' says one werewolf boy) He's only one of them. You don't want to know who the other banished underworld beings are and what they are capable of.. "

"No matter what being, what capability, which domain, nothing can out-beat the Cosmos vampires. That's why the heavens chose the Cosmos vampire family to rule over all beings." says Edward.

Hearing Edward's voice everyone turns towards him. Seeing Edward Ellis says, "Edward?"

"I had sensed the power days back but couldn't locate. Today I felt you and the power at the same place so, followed. Looks like I missed the show."

"Well if you'd arrived a little sooner, you could have helped Ellis out," says Joel

"What!" says Edward, "Me and that smugger, want to see me dead."

A little confused Sam asks, "Aren't you vampires immortal like us?"

Replying Edward says, "Yes, but not when it's a smugger. They have a special gland in one of their arms, it's as lethal as silver for us immortals. ('Then it goes for Ellis, also right?' asks Joel) That's the difference between Ellis and other beings. Nothing is more powerful than a Cosmic vampire. And only a cosmic vampire has the ability to withstand silver. Ellis won't die immediately, he'll need 30 minutes to heal. If he doesn't, yes so, today on remember boys (Edward looks towards Joel, Clive, and Denver), if Ellis gets attacked by any silver thing, make sure he gets the time to recover."

"Ellis is our ruler, it's our responsibility too." says Luke

Looking at Luke, Edward asks, "May I know why vampires and werewolves are at the same place?"

"Long story short," says Ellis "Luke is the alpha. He and his boys helped us get the kids and Jane free from this smugger. And, they know about me and accept me as their ruler."

"Luke, which clan is yours," asks Edward

"Ours is the northeast clan." replies Luke

"Northeast, they fought with us and bravely, I must add, but" Edward gets silent for a while "You're the alpha, but you're young, unless your father…"

"He's alive," says Luke "but bedridden, that's why I'm the unofficial alpha. Though after my birthday, it will be official as the other clans are taking our clan as an orphan clan. And, occasionally attack us."

"Luke," says Denver "Do the other clans accept Ellis as their ruler, if yes then then maybe.. "

Smiling Luke says," All clans accept Ellis. It's a treaty all werewolf clans accepted centuries ago. None of the werewolves will defy Ellis, you can have my word on that, it's just that no one knows where or which of the vampires is Ellis. Whenever we end up crossing wrong paths with vampires, the first thing to make sure is, it's not Ellis."

"Wrong paths?" asks Denver

"No offense, but there are some vampires and werewolves who kill humans. When we get information, we deal with them. Kill them, in simple words. It's the reason our clan gets attacked by both. Now that we know who Ellis is, it'll be easy for us to deal with such vampires."

"Luke, '' says Ellis, "You have my word. Not as the ruler, but as your friend. I promise from today on no one will harm your family, or your clan. And, I didn't know your family fought along with us, and your clan is attacked because you fight for the right. I'm not gonna stand by watching doing nothing. If anyone harms you, will face me."
