[-In the Castle of King Lionel-]

Vampires from different covens were gathered by the vampire king.

​​

Discussing their future plans.

Their vampire grand elder was evidently absent.

Making an obvious statement to everyone.

Since it was out of the open regarding with the betrayal of Ingrid and the involvement of Amelia in Ingrid's betrayal.

Factions between vampires and covens have worsened.

Ever since the defeat and fall of the western fortress of King Lionel.

More vampire covens were losing confidence in their vampire king.

Amelia took advantage of the recent failures and shortcomings of the vampire king as her opportunity to gain more allies from other covens of vampires.

Declaring the northern fortress as defectors to the vampire king.

King Lionel could not declare war against his own blood.

If he issues a war against the northern fortress, more vampire covens would lose trust in him and leave his vampire court.

His priorities at the moment were;

(1) Strengthen his remaining fortresses and secure the vault of his kingdom's resources.

(2) Reassure his allies and subjects with his leadership.

(3) And eliminating the daughter of his grandson, the next chosen one to be the second supreme ruler.

Preventing her from ascending to her destined throne.

Her reign will signify his loss and transfer of authority over the entire kingdom of vampires.

During his motivating speech towards his subjects in the court.

The arrival of Dalton made everyone stop from their conversations.

Including King Lionel.

Upon his arrival, the king of vampires assumed that Dalton succeeded in his mission.

What they don't know … he was about to inform the king regarding his failure.

And to extend the message from Selene.

*** Flashback ***

Right after the funeral of Lady Sonja, Selene headed to the intruders and her supposed assassins.

The Alpha King gave the orders to bring all the intruders to the courtyard of the mansion.

Selene intended to conduct the trial on the courtyard of the mansion.

It was allowed for everyone to witness the trial of the intruders.

Everyone anticipated the trial of the intruders and those who murdered the patrol unit of Golden Moon Pack and their beloved … Lady Sonja.

Especially the executive officers of the Alpha King.

Upon their arrival, there they were …

Chained and weakened by the spell inflicted to them by Chloe.

All of them were nervous at what would transpire next.

The dark witch was completely overpowered by the magic of Chloe.

Compared to her own powers, Chloe was far more powerful than her.

Kneeling at the center of the courtyard.

The four intruders were surrounded by the members of the Golden Moon Pack.

It was like a spectacle for others.

Seeing their Luna lead a trial for the first time.

Usually, their Alpha King leads this trials.

But for obvious reasons, their Luna was given the authority to lead such trial.

Standing by the stairs, Selene looked dominant and her aura was oozing with anger.

And then she began with the trial.

"Before I issue the sentence on all of you. I have few questions in mind."

"I will not ask my questions twice. Because I have no time with any of your mind games." Selene warned Dalton and his companions.

"Who sent you … for what mission?" Selene asked.

Though, she had an initial thoughts. But she wanted everyone to know from the vampire's mouth about their true intentions.

…

Silence was their response to Selene.

Instantly, all of them writhe in burning pain.

All of them were screaming in pain due to their hand burning slowly and repetitively.

"Killing you all on the spot will be a mercy from me. So, I prefer to put you all in an excruciating painful experience. Unless, you answer my question directly." Selene looked fierce and unwavering with her tone.

Everyone was shocked at the sight of their Luna.

Displaying her ruthless side.

"The king of vampires sent them to kill you … I was only employed by Dalton to assist them in eliminating you. Everything is all orders from the vampire king." The dark witch exposed everything she knows.

Unlike Dalton and the other Henchmen who remained quiet.

"Thank you for your cooperation. I will grant you a swift death." Selene announced.

Instantly, the dark witch died on the spot.

Her head rolling on the floor after Jackson swung his sword.

Before the trial started, Jackson requested to be the executioner.

Jackson was extremely angered by the near-death experience of his mate.

He demanded death for Dalton but Selene refused because she had another way of punishing Dalton.

Instead of killing Dalton and granting the wishes of the other members of the Golden Moon Pack, Selene allowed Jackson to become the executioner of the trial.

"Now, your deaths will not be granted … because I sentence you three with a lifetime suffering. As a punishment for your crimes against the members of Golden Moon Pack and your failed attempt on my life."

Selene continued,

"The intruders will remain in the dungeon. They will be injected with daily dose of nightshade. Sufficient enough which will not completely kill you. A spell will be casted on you three, in every blood you take … in order to quench your thirst. You will feel extreme pain from every ounce of blood you take. Making it as your poison. So, I have decided to the feed the other two ... a daily ration of blood. Aside from the nightshade, 2 bags of blood will be attached on your veins as your daily dose for the day. This punishment will be in effect starting today."

The three vampires looked at Selene with contempt.

If they were silent a while ago, after hearing Selene issue their punishment …

They wanted to cuss at her.

But Selene muted their voice.

"Shhhh … I no longer need to hear your disgusting voice. For the killer of Lady Sonja … I am sending you back to your king as my messenger. I bet he would love to hear your report and my message to him." Selene divulged to Dalton.

She added,

"Every second that passes, the pain in your head will worsen. Until you utter all the words of my message for the king of vampires … the pain will not go away. A single word kept from my complete message to the king of vampires will increase the pain tremendously. So if I were you … killer of Lady Sonja … hurry and send my message to him ..."

A satisfied look was evident in the faces of each member of the Golden Moon Pack present in the courtyard of the mansion.

It was fully packed.

As if there was a spectacle taking place.

Selene casted a spell on the three where she placed her punishment for their crimes.

The chains of Dalton was released.

He had no time to hostage anyone or cause any further delays from Selene's orders because he felt an unimaginable pain in his head.

"Arrrggghh!! Argghhh!!" Dalton screamed in pain.

"I forgot to mention, the pain lessens as you get nearer to the vampire king." Last words of Selene to Dalton.

And instantly, Dalton fled as quickly as he could.

Just to lessen the pain he was feeling.

*** Back in Present ***

"I am here to send the message for the vampire king …" Dalton was catching his breath and holding his head.

King Lionel was curious and confused about what was going on with Dalton.

"PLEAAASEE KILL ME ALREADY … I cannot take the pain anymore …. It's too much!"

"What's her message to me?" King Lionel ignored the request of his henchman.

There was a momentary hesitation ... due to the possible reaction of the vampire king.

But Dalton could no longer endure the pain he was experiencing at the moment.

"PREPARE FOR A WAR YOU WILL NEVER WIN! YOU ARE A SINKING SHIP AND EMBARRASSMENT TO ALL VAMPIRES!"

"SO, DO US A FAVOR … FUCK YOURSELF AND DIE!"

Upon hearing the message of Selene to the vampire king, King Lionel roared in fury.

From the insult thrown by Selene.

Knowing that it will be heard by the entire vampire court.

Sending a message to all vampires …
