"I don't get it," he sighed, staring at the girl, "how will this ever help us?"

Noah chuckled, "do you see the similarities here? This one is a human and is the mate of a wolf. If we cannot get a lycan then we settle for what's next best."

​​

Adrain tilted his head slightly. "I do understand the similarities Sir. But this is the ambassador's mate. If we try to hurt them then the entire realm of vampires and werewolves will be after us and we have enough on our backs already."

Nathaniel grinned, "that is what I am keeping your ground for Adrian. Deal with it."

Adrian nodded nonchalantly even though there was a slight anxious feeling inside him. He bowed his head slightly before walking out of the door and calling his mate in the clearing outside.

It must be the middle of the afternoon there. Servants were either dining or taking a quick nap.

"Hello?" Her excited voice made him smile.

"How are you, my love?" He asked with a smile of his own and she giggled.

"I am to board without you and it does not help that I have to behave like an animal hete. Did you know they always question that I have my fangs but not my canines?"

"Your fangs are beautiful." He remembered as hjs pierced his skin. The feeling was blissful.

"I know," she bloated and he chuckled, "but it's always why I have two pointy teeth and not four. By the way, I befriended her."

His ears perked up at the given information. That was good. That was very good.

" How is she?"

She tutted. "I do not know how she was brought her here. The gossip is too confusing so I won't tell you that but right now she is fully functioning. If you ar—"

"Not now," he cut her off, "right now will hello my love. The most important thing we need it's time. The master is checking out new alternatives and if one of them works we are going to stick with it."

"Hmm," she hummed, "seems nice Adrian. Is there anything that I can bring you from her?"

"Her blood." He stilled for a second before turning around and going his head slightly at the king.

"Yes, sir." He understood what Nathaniel meant.

"My darling, I am going to need her blood. How much can you bring?"

He heard her move, " not much. She is human and if something happens to her even at the dining table values in a nice I am pretty sure that the master of the house would send her to the hospital immediately."

Nathaniel sighed but nodded, "then a drop or two would be fine. But hurry." He said before disappearing within seconds in front of Adrian's eyes. He spoke into the phone, "Did you—"

"Yeah, I caught that," she said, "my love don't you think this is getting dangerous? The man is deranged and now every ruling family knows about this. Your death is inevitable if anyone finds out."

That was true. After what happened with Evelyn and the Alpha King it was obvious that news had reached every Kingdom and everyone was aware of what vampires could do which is why it had affected every thing regarding the Vampire Kingdom.

Naturally King Cassius was after his half brother to get the calamity of them.

"I do know," he resigned, "but I'm not going to die. I promise you that."

"Sure, because even if you do I am sure the king would love to bring you back." She sassed, "there is still time Adrian. Give up everything and come to this side. Give up everything and everything you know."

He closed his eyes and shook his head. "I understand your concerns. Trust me my love I know what I am doing. If I feel that anything could go wrong I know what I would do. For now focus on getting us the blood." He hung up.

*******

"What next?" He asked the witch. " It has been long, Welma."

The witch looked away from her book and stared at the man in front of her. "I told you to take the human straight away but you try to play with her heart first. That delay caused is nearly otherwise we would have been successful."

"I don't care," he hissed back. " Do you realise how long it has been? It is enough for Isla's soul to be corrupted by now."

The witch tightened her lips as she walked over to where the flame was. "You could always try and reach to her in the Limbo."

Nathaniel narrowed his eyes slightly at her, "And how am I to know that she is in Limbo and has not moved forward? By now I would assume that she is down there in hell."

Welma peered over her shoulder, "You could check." She offered.

For a moment nathaniel narrowed his eyes at the woman. It seemed like a dream to meet Isla again. But is there was even a slight chance for him to do so that he was taking it up.

"Do it." He said and she did.

"Remember this," she whispered into his ear knowing that he would catch them as he stood in front of a dark tent with the wide opening. It was just a darkness inside. "Do not let go of the rope. Do not let Isla touch it."

"Why not?" He glanced at the rope as he took it from her. It was his way back.

"Because it would be her way back if she takes it from you. You won't be coming back but she would. Remember she will always ask you for permissiom . . ."

He stepped in before he could hear another word. His steps forward and the rope elongated and moved with him. Slight noises could be heard and he could feel people walking around him.

The dead walking around him.

"Nathan . ."

His eyes narrowed as he turned around. There she stood, his Isla.

Alive.
