Chapter 182
“This bloodsucker will turn into ash when the last drop of blood leaves his body,” their capturer shouted to his subjects.
It felt like the longest moment, Shysie kept her eyes on the man waiting for him to turn into ash. ‘How do I know what ash is and that I am a woman and that is a man and that he is dying. How do I understand this man shouting and understand that he is in charge, but I don’t know who I am?’ Shysie wondered, watching the man, waiting for him to turn to ash but nothing happened. The man’s dead eyes stare at her and Shysie gulped air and looked up at the stars again.
“We will have to wait for the morning then, when the sun hits, he will turn to ash,” the man said, taking a drink.
Their capturer along with his subjects continued their drinking and their party into the early morning until they passed out.
Shysie got a fright when she felt a tuck at her tied feet, “You know you are strong enough to just break these.”
“Who are you?” Shysie asked, looking at the man with long blond hair, his blue eyes clearly visible even in the dark. Wynn overheard what the man said and applied some effort to break the ropes that are tying him down. Shysie saw how easy the man that was her brother, broke free and broke her own hands-free.
“What about him?” Shysie asked, running over to the dead man.
“He was just a human, one you fed on, mistaken for a vampire,” her savior said.
“And him?” Wynn started to untie the human next to him.
“He is a Werewolf,” their savior said.
“A werewolf?” Wynn asked confused.
“You really don’t have any memory?” their savior asked confused.
“It appears not. Do we know him?” Wynn asked.
“How should I know? I came to hunt him down and my guess is he was hunting the two of you,” their savior said.
Wynn tighten the robes around the werewolf again; that was passed out.
“We should go, we don’t have a lot of night left,” their savior said before slitting the werewolf’s throat.
“So, you don’t know us, but you know that we fed off that human and that this werewolf was hunting us?” Shysie asked.
“Yes, I have been stalking him for a while now. My guess is that you are a vampire, and you are something else as I saw you eat normal food,” their savior informed them.
“Perhaps our memory will come to us, perhaps someone out there knows us and will be able to remind us of who we are,” Wynn said.
“Well, our dead human over here said that I went by the name of Shade and my brother by Wicket,” Shysie said.
“Perhaps that is why the werewolf was hunting the two of you. With names like that, it can only mean that you are bad and feared but I personally have never heard of you. Well, actually I am still a young vampire. I became a vampire a few months ago by accident. I am Dario by the way,” Dario their savior introduced himself.
“Pleased to meet you and thank you for saving us,” Wynn said.
“My nest will be waiting for me, you are more than welcome to join me, but let’s call you Wynn from now on and you Shysie,” Dario suggested.
“Of course,” Shysie said laughing.
“After you,” Wynn said.
“Run into that direction as fast as you can,” Dario told Wynn.
“Why?” Wynn asked confused.
“Since you are eating food, you are either a human or a hybrid. If you speed off like a demon then you are half vampire, if not then you are some were-animal as only a supernatural would have been able to break those ropes that held you down,” Dario said.
“Oh,” Wynn said before speeding off like a demon and speeding right back, “Guess I am a hybrid.”
They never regained their memory and they have been with Dario, whom later on took the title of lord Dario.
Back to the 19s
“Here we are,” Shysie said, walking into the castle nursery, the children already sleeping.
lady Hannah hesitated for a moment before following Shysie into the room.
“Hi little man, why are you not sleeping?” Shysie picked a blond hair, blue-eyed baby, split image of lord Dario up.
Lady Hannah had no words but could feel the tears running down her face.
“Do you want to hold him?” Shysie offered..
“You must really dislike prince Andre,” Lady Hannah said taking the baby from him.
“Lord Dario has been like a father to me,” Shysie started.
“You are way too evil to consider yourself a daughter of lord Dario,” Lady Hannah interrupted her.
“Must be in my genes,” Shysie said, not denying it.
“If it is in your genes then why is your brother such a kind soul?” Lady Hannah asked.
“You know before lord Dario saved us my brother went by the name Wicket?” Shysie chuckled.
“Well, if your goal was to cancel the wedding then you have succeeded,” Lady Hannah said.
“I will go tell them,” Shysie said with a smile speeding off before lady Hannah changes her mind.

“What have you done?” Wynn asked his sister when she walked into the chapel with a big smile on her face not wearing her bride’s maid dress.
“Stopped lady Hannah from marrying prince Andre,” Shysie said.
When prince Andre saw Shysie walking in, not dressed, he knew that lady Hannah won’t becoming. Prince Andre took his suit jacket off and dropped it to the ground followed by ripping his shirt off making the buttons fly in all directions. Prince Andre shifted into his owl form and flew off, crashing through a window.
‘I knew I was going to need a strapless dress,’ Queen Amiraj thought before shifting into her owl form and flying after her son.
‘Mother, let me be!’ Prince Andre mind linked his mother.
‘Not a chance. Where are you going?’ Queen Amirah askee, catching up with him.
‘I shouldn’t have returned. You know she didn’t want to come back here, but stupid me had to insist. Stupid me wanted the whole world to see that I was not a fool, that lady Hannah did love me,’ Prince Adnre mind linked his mother, flying faster and faster.
Queen Amirah didn't not respond but just stayed flying nearby her son, ready to catch him if he decided to drop from the sky.
‘Nothing to say mother?’ Prince Andre mind linked her.
‘Your princess is out there and while you are obsessing over lady Hannah you will never find the woman that was truly meant for you,’ she mind linked him.
Prince Andre turned around and flew back to the castle.
‘Son don’t make a fool of yourself, not tonight,’ Queen Amieah pleaded.
‘She is just having a weak moment, obviously influenced by that bitch Shysie, she will come around again and when she does, we will leave and never come back again,’ Prince Andre mind linked her.

Over the following weeks, ptince Andre pleaded with lady Hannah to leave with him, but she refused, “I was mistaken to think that marrying you will make me forget the love I have lord Dario. You will make a woman happy one day, but that woman is just not me,” she said walking to the castle nursery to sing Dario Jnr to sleep.
“Where are you going?” Prince Andre asked, walking after her.
“Please, let me be,” Lady Hannah said. “I never asked you to travel with me, and I should have never given into you,” Lady Hannah said, coming to a standstill in front of the castle nursery.
“Leave with me,” Prince Andre compeled her.
Lady Hannah looked at him in shock, wanting to slap him for trying to compel her but she knew that it will only hurt her since his skin was almost as hard as marble, “You seem to forget that my father was a shaman,” she said, taking the necklace around her neck and showing it to him.
“I am sorry. I am a desperate man that is hopelessly in love with you,” Prince Andre apologized.
“One that just broke his promise to me,” Lady Hannah reminded him of the promise he made her that he will never compel her.
