The ballroom was filled with masses of vampires from covens worldwide, soft classic music could be heard as the scent of fresh blood from human preys filled the room, most were seen chatting and introducing themselves to others, while others were bickering about vampire's political affairs or about the frivolous ones who were playing with the naked dancers, vampire are known to be sexual being and they see nothing wrong with that.
Sitted on the throne was King Matei, the most feared and most powerful vampire ever after King Dracula, he had a bristled eyebrows that were thin and narrow, he had a well-defined nose and his cheekbones sat perfectly above his chiseled jaws, he had long dark hairs which flowed to his waistline and a pair of sea green eyes, sifted beside him was his wife and two sons, Sage was more of his replica and had a look like he was about to caught a prey, Stefan had a round plump face that was less sterner unlike the rest of his family, he had a short wavy caramel hair and a brownish chocolate pair of eyes, and look more athletic and agile than his brother, Queen Helena was more paler and thinner with long curly Ebony hair and icy blue eyes. She was the mother of Marius and a stepmother to Stephan.
Stephan birth was more of a mistake, his Father had raped Stefan mother who was the daughter of his Father assistant, he had always admire her from afar but never dare to approach because of his late father, after a night of drinking, he secretly went to her house knowing her parent weren't around and abused her,
Rumors of what he had done began to spread as her pregnancy became more visible, he had denied at first but later accepted it after she gave birth to a boy.
Matei was eager for the throne and wasn't pleased with the way his father treated him like useless child so he murderer his father and Stefan grandparents who were clearly against his rule after seeing the way Matei murdered his father.
Stefan mother couldn't bear the grief that her rapist was also the murderer of her parents, she couldn't take her revenge, cause he was to high to reach, so she resulted to committing suicide.
Stefan grew up with a daily reminder from his brother and stepmother that he was a bastard, their father didn't even help matter always turning everything as a competition for both brothers using the throne as the trophy.
Stefan did everything to impress his father, always bringing home the most human or mystic kills, being the best warrior in battleground, doing whatever his father ordered him to do, like killing vampire officials who tried to go against his rule, but his effort didn't seem to please his father at all, his father still believed that his younger brother is better than him, that was when he decided to stop trying.
King Matei who was already bored, stood up clicking his cup with a spoon as everyone were drawn out of their thought and chatting and faced their attention towards him.
"For so long, Vampires have been disrespected, mocked and looked down upon,"
Looking at the numbers of human slaves in the ballroom, plus the numerous times they have had attack other mystics, Stefan found it funny his father would say that, of course nobody dares to kick against King Matei, death only await such people.
"But all that will come to an end, when we become the greatest mystics of all three and is only I who can make such dream become a reality, but I fear taking such risk maybe difficult if I don't get support from you all," Matei continued as one of his minions Harry got up raising his cup of blood,
"Long live King Matei, the liberator and emancipator of the vampire realm, may your rule continue to bring massive yields of success," He praised as the other vampires in the room raised their cups to join "Long live King Matei," they all gulped down the blood in their cup including King Matei.
"I don't see that happening, " an old woman interrupted, as everyone turned to see who dared say so.
She was known to be the greatest seer, whatever she says come to pass, no one dared to disobey or disregard what she say including King Matei, she have a ghastly and impassive look, her feline eyes were also one of the reason people fear her, she looked more dead than a vampire.
"What visions are you having that make you doubt the possibilities," Matei inquired, wrinkles appearing between his furrowed eyebrows out of confusion.
"A girl from the red moon pack will be born, she will be gifted by the moon goddess the power to be all three mystics,"
"Nonsense, having the powers to be all three mystic is just a myth," Queen Helena finally spoke out, finding the prophecy a bit shocking to believe.
Stefan had doubted as well but almost all her prophecies came to pass.
"What can be done to stop this haram," Matei stuttered with wide eyes as he patiently waited for answers.
"Father I believe that killing her is the only solution to this problem, we should attack and destroy their pack before they become to powerful," Sage suggested, as his father turned to give him a satisfying smile.
"Like father like son, we think so much alike," Matei praises made Helena very happy, she turn to give Stefan a look of disgust.
"Father, I shall get the armies prepaid, when do we strike," Stefan inquired, as Helena and her son gave him a furious look.
"On the full moon, I'm certain it's the right time to strike, nothing is going to stop me not even a puppy,"
"Long live King Matei," Helena cheered raising her cup to the air before everyone joined her,
"Long live King Matei,"
