The witch queen

"Are you kidding me!" Simon shook his head in disbelief. He knew Zeke didn't talk much, but he did not notice this yesterday.

"Perhaps it's because of Teresa's beauty I didn't notice him talking too much," he thought to himself as one corner of his lips pulled up into a smirk. "Indeed, she's pretty."

Only for him to glance up and see Zeke glaring at him with fury in his eyes.

Ezekiel could read someone's thoughts, and Simon was the only one who knew he had this ability.

"Come on, Zeke, it's just some stupid thought, haha," he chuckled softly, averting his gaze and starting to move with his hands in his pocket. Zeke just watched him as he moved. He didn't bother saying anything to Simon while Simon tried not to think anything stupid.

"Did you see him? He's so cute."

"Hahaha yeah, I saw. Haha." Two girls with pink ball gowns came out of the hall. As soon as they saw Zeke, their mood changed. Both of them were pureblooded vampires, and their bright red eyes looked shiny under the sun. Simon heard voices from behind and immediately spun around to see beautiful pureblooded vampires. He walked up to them.

"Milady, what are you doing under this sun? You're too pretty for that," he said, and both of them blushed.

"We just came out for some fresh air, Your Highness," one of them replied with a red face, using her hands to cover it.

"Oh, but the sun is too high. Why don't you two follow me to my quarters? I'll treat you to good wine," he offered. Simon always treated girls this way. To him, girls were flowers.

"Of course, haha."

"Let's go then." Ezekiel just glanced at Simon and after that, he leaped out of the palace at full speed.

Emma went to the forest in the Omega Black Empire to pick up Luna while Teresa went to the mansion to keep watch with the members of the Alpha Mega.

After Emma arrived at the forest, she got out and started walking deeper into the forest. After the incident last night, Lena, the leader of the Alpha Mega Empire, made sure to tighten security. She had put guards outside the forest, so Emma needed to go on foot.

After she had walked for a while, she saw the Omega Black team, all in their usual brown uniforms with guns. She waved at them, letting them know that she was there to pick up the boss. They cleared the way, and she went back and told the driver that the area was clear. Her driver drove in, and after they were in front of the mansion, Emma got out and walked in, finding Lena in the first hall in the sitting room. She was looking through some maps.

"Lena," Emma greeted Lena, and Lena just glanced up, acknowledging her presence and continuing with what she was doing. The Omega members beside Lena just gave a little bow to Emma.

"Let me take you to her," a girl in a pure brown uniform said behind Emma.

"Okay," Emma replied shortly, following the girl upstairs.

They arrived at the third floor in the second room. The girl bowed and left.

Knock! Knock!

Emma knocked, and she heard a little voice from Luna telling her to come in.

She pushed the door open and saw Luna sitting on the king-size bed, staring at a particular space. She had changed into a long black dress, letting her long black hair fall to her waist and spread on the bed as well.

"Boss, it's already afternoon. We need to get going." With a solemn face, she looked up and said,

"Gather all the mafia bosses. We need to fix this." Luna didn't know what to do at the moment. She was still young and had seen so many deaths. This was eating the life out of her.

"Okay, boss." She exited the door. And a long tear rolled down Luna's cheeks.

"Lord, please give me strength," she muttered under her breath, letting the tears land on the gray bed sheets.

After a while, she went downstairs and saw Teresa, Emma, Lena, and Rose.

Rose was the leader of the Firefighters' Empire, and Teresa was the leader of the Alpha Mega Empire.

Evan was the leader of the Lion Warriors, but she was locked up in a dungeon by the original female lead.

They were all sitting, and Luna walked up to them.

"Boss, how are you feeling?" Rose asked, and Luna just nodded.

She walked and sat on one of the armchairs.

Silence reigned for a while before Luna spoke. "What happened last night must not happen again. We lost fifty of our men yesterday. Lena, I want you to take full responsibility."

"Yes, boss," Lena replied immediately.

"And all of you, make sure no one dies on your team. Take full responsibility! Anyone on your team is in your hands. You must protect them."

"Yes, boss," they all replied.

"We need to protect ourselves from these blood-sucking creatures," she continued. The trio listened with full attention to what Luna was saying.

"Rose, I also need you to double up security," she said, and Rose nodded.

"I know someone who might help us out," Rose said slowly.

"Who?" Luna asked, and Rose shrugged her shoulders.

"She is a witch queen, and I'm sure she'll help us with some spells Teresa can also learn a few things from her."

"That sounds good, though. I'd love to learn some spells. I'm still trying to learn useful spells," Teresa said with excitement in her eyes. She had loved performing spells and making potions since she was a kid.

"Where can we find this witch?" Luna seemed interested. She would do anything for her people.

"In the Forbidden Mountain," Rose replied.

"We need to go there by night. The witch queen usually makes potions at night," Rose explained.

"So what's the time?" Luna asked, looking at Emma, who was quietly sitting on a wooden chair.

"It's three p.m., boss."

"So, Rose, you, me, and Teresa will go," Luna said.

Soon evening arrived, and the trio was now dressed in black cloaks.

"We cannot take any guards. We need to go by ourselves," Rose informed, and everyone nodded.

"We need to go on foot. Boss, do you think you'll be okay?" Teresa asked. Her duty was to protect Luna.

"Of course. Let's go," and the trio exited the gate with a lantern, which was the only light leading the way.
