《THE RISE OF ROYAL RED EYES : BLOOD MOON》Chapter 5:OFFICIAL INTRODUCTIONS
Advertisement
"Evan! How did your offense go? "I ran into Evan at 4:00 a.m.
Evan sat in the chair in front of the big screen with the tactical team, he massaged his forehead, the look on his face saying he was frustrated.
"As I suspected, they quickly withdrew all his powers, this raid was futile. What did you find?" Evan saw me carrying a photo area.
I sat weakly on the seat next to him. I gave him a photo of the area.
"The location we're looking for, there are four new spots discovered, but almost said we didn't see any activity inside. It's been emptied!"
"They will place their bets in one place! It was obvious. Chief of the Aegis, Chief Watapio is aware of our raid as well. Those four are just five-man janitors. I feel so stupid!"
"Where is Alexander?" I don't see the head of a legion of vampires here.
"They're casing the area, we hit to see if we can find anything."
"You and your team continue searching, once we have a potential location of the occupants, we will strike immediately. I'll pull half the force in London to help with the search by tomorrow morning. We're going to keep this going. Now I need a little sleep." Evan went from the main hall to the rest room at the end of the room.
"All right" I'm moving back into my office.
On the way I met Alexander. He and his team is back.
"Alexa, are you still working?" This time he kindly said hello first.
"I'm good, thank you. Evan was on a break, he was frustrated with the results of the And I brought a reconnaissance photo of the location we just found. The results were just as bad. There was no activity. Did you find anything? "
"No, it seems all the clues were deliberately omitted. In these conditions we have to keep trying. We all rely on your team to find their location. Don't forget to take care of your condition." He looked at me. For a moment we were speechless. I was always easy to get nervous about it.
"I have to go back to my office."
"My father will come tomorrow at noon." He suddenly spoke, bringing my move automatically to a standstill. His father came? We will be introduced officially soon. I finally couldn't shy away anymore. I sighed.
"Okay" I replied briefly while looking to him. And continued in my stride.
"Alexa"
"Yes?" Now he's walking a few steps near me.
"Don't make this pressure. In any case we must live this as our responsibility as the ultimate heir." He spoke in front of me. I looked at him in silence, so, he had already concluded I was his future wife.
"I'll try." I had a small smile at him. He mentions clichéd sentences about pressure. Perhaps for him who has gone decades or maybe even hundreds, this is just as limited as the status setting. But to me this means changing my whole world and maybe sacrificing my heart. But in any case he looks quite good and considerate even if obviously he is not a romantic and warm type like Ahiga.

Maybe I've never found love in my life. Or maybe in line of time I'll learn to fall in love with him. Mum always said that. Love is because of knowing each other, and being with each other. I don't know, I don't know. I'm even afraid to think about my future now, too much of an uncertain one.
I passed from before him. There's nothing we can talk about now, it's better to focus on the search task in front of me.
***
Additional strength from the assault division came after the noon break hour. I and Jonathan got back busy. Meanwhile, Drake senior took a break. Evan assigned more people in our room to oversee the 24 teams on duty.
An additional five places have already been found, in total we've completed 16 sites, almost half of them within 36 hours of work. Searches with the help of werewolf are quick indeed. And Evan quickly dealt with the surveillance data where it had already found.
Although the results are still very disappointing, we have to keep trying to comb through the data we have.
By the afternoon I was already exhausted. Drake senior and his team has returned to Jonathan's aid. This time it's been my turn to rest. I've yawned and imagined my comfortable bed when someone called me.
"Alexa, call for you to the library room from your grandfather." Now what the hell is going on? That introduction? I'm so sleepy, why now! All right, let's deal with this. I decided not to dress up, I still wore the black legion operational suit. Black ops jacket and black pants with military style boots.
I got to the fore of the library room. I sighed a long sigh before going in. Come on Alexa, this won't kill you. You'll be fine, I cheer myself.
I opened the door to that private library room. I saw Grandpa, Dad and Mom sitting together with a man and a woman, Alexander was there too. The main family of the Ostrander clan!
Mom stood up welcoming me.
"This is our daughter, Alexa Aegis." She drew me up beside her. And those two stood up to greet me.
"Hello dear, I'm Joanne Ostrander. Alexander's mother, it's nice to see you. You're beautiful." The blond woman appears to be almost 40 years old, she still looks young, although her age can be sure to be above 100. I'm having his cold hands.
"This is my husband Valerie Ostrander." The dashing dark-haired man greeted me. His youthful good looks and his natural charm will make you re compensating.
In the vampire clan, if referred to as a child does not mean it should be a biological child, but it may be the adopted child of the main family elevated one of its members to become the core family. In this case it is clear Alexander is their adopted son.
"It's nice to finally see you, Alexa." He experienced me warmly with a smile. "Sit down with me here." This beautiful woman is soft-voiced and friendly.

"I am honored to be able to meet you Mr and Mrs Ostrander," I bowed slightly in their respects.
"It doesn't have to be too formal dear, let's just say we're your family. Because soon we'll be Aegis and Ostrander will be a family. You must have known Alexander my son before." Julia smiles at her son. I'm thankful my future mother-in-law has a warm personality of fun. At least I don't feel alone if I'm in their place.
"Already madam, we're working on the legion of assaults." I turned my back on a little smiling Alexander.
"Alexa is the head of the search division. We're looking for their main headquarters right now. But it seems they chose to leave their base, after learning we joined in the assault. Because they know with the joining of the new powers they can't possibly win in an ordinary fight. They will surely gather strength and attack during the height of Blood Moon." Alexander explained.
"Chairman Aegis, are you thinking of another way to deal with this?" Chairman Alexei spoke to the grandfather.
"There is no other way chairman Alexei, we will continue to chase them to the end of the world if necessary. We can release their binding spell, the only way to suppress their power is to release as many of the humans as possible."
They're talking about the state of war today. Alexander, and I occasionally file papers because we're a team on the field.
I'm sleepy now. I restrain myself from yawning for fear of being perceived as disrespectful. Alexander saw me. He seems to know I'm trying hard to hold my ass.
"Dad, mom, you've met Alexa. If you'll let me take him to bed, he'll be in the control room from a night without a break. I think it's time for her to rest now. I'll help out in the control room after that." I was stunned to see it. She was watching my break. So sweet my thought.
"Sure, dear, Alexa you get some rest. You've both been working hard. You must be very proud of your daughter. He takes his duties very seriously." Julia Ostrander praised me, dad and mom smiled responding to his compliments.
"Alexander is among Alexa" my grandfather gave me permission.
"Thanks Mrs. Julia, we are fortunate that our future son-in-law Alexander is a man who cares so much about our daughter. I hope the two of them can always look out for and support each other in the future." My mother avenged Mrs. Julia. And I felt hot in my face hearing them talk.
Alexander up.
"Then please excuse us both." His hand he thrust out to me to stand. I welcome him. We've been acting like a real couple now.
"I went grandpa, father, mother, Sir Alexei, Mrs. Julia." I asked myself politely. Alexander conned my hands, opened the door for me. Perfect manners.
"Thanks, I was so sleepy earlier, thank god you saved me."
"My help doesn't come for free." Now he smiled a little and moved closer.
"What do you mean?" I looked at him not to understand. It was her proximity that pushed me out of reflect. I've got a live alarm in my brain. Not for free? What will he ask? He wants a kiss, that's all I can think about because his body is so close to me.
"Have dinner with me when this quest is over." This time he took his face closer, making me nervous because we were so close. I can smell the perfume. I stammered at his request, and then I laughed.
"Why are you laughing?" Alexander wrinkled his forehead.
"No, nothing. I thought you were going to say something different."
"What do you think I'd say to Alexa?" Now he's curious. And blush I think is blush now. I'm picturing a kiss with this guy. I'm definitely crazy.
"Why is your face so rosy, what were you thinking that made you crazy" Oh, my god, why is this guy so curious?
"No, all right I'm going, well I owe you dinner." I have to get out of here. My heart is racing.
"Hold on, not so fast as Alexa." He got in my way fast.
"I'm still wondering what you're thinking, tell me what you're thinking." He pressed me seriously.
"Nothing! Come on. Let me go." I'm desperate to get away.
"Did you think I'd ask you for a kiss?"
"No, no," I said no, but the heat kept rising in my face. I'd be as red as a tomato by now.
"Ahhh I see" now he's moving closer. His eyes looked into mine. I'm bewitched to move.
"What do you understand?"
"You want me to kiss you right now, just the two of us here thinks of it as an exercise." The intonation of his voice turns deep and low as he approaches. This man is playing on my emotions. I panicked. And soon find a way to escape.
"No" I ran away, Alexander let me escape this time, my heart went crazy. I didn't look back at all when I left.
I can hear him laughing behind my back now. He used his own experience to judge me. Men like him must often get women who would gladly throw themselves at him. But I'm not them, I can't just turn myself in.

Myth of The World's Trees
And Simon answered their call with a single statement that nobody understood "Et super mos absit hoc hodie!" "Yah!" "WWWaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!" "AAAlllllaaaaallllaaaaallllaaaa!" "EeEEellllleeeeeelllllleeeeeeuuuuuuu!" I, too, yelled a battle cry at the top of my lungs. I had no idea what Simon had just spouted but from Camilla's giggling, I could guess that Simon thought that spouting nonsense was his way of getting out of the earlier predicament. "I forbid death upon this day," Camilla said. "What?" I answered a bit at a loss. "Ancient Latin," she replied smugly, "He said 'I forbid death upon this day'." I laughed aloud "Then he is gonna be really disappointed in everyone here," Camilla did not reply and instead took a deep breath. I did the same, zoning out everything in my surroundings. The environment became a world of electrical pulses traveling across several networks. I perceived the world through my lightning and sped my heartbeat to inhuman levels. I was present now, at this moment, at this point in time. I could feel the electrifying air saturating my lungs, the electrified ground vibrating at the rhythm of the approaching enemy. Then I took a step forward, everyone followed in tandem. Camilla the first, and then the others. Then I took a second step, and this time everyone followed simultaneously. Third step… Fourth step… Fifth step… Then light jogging… Speeding up… Running … Running faster…. Then suddenly, everyone disappeared into motes of light particles that re-constructed itself hundreds of feet above the horde, dozens of miles away from our initial position. We were literally 'diving' into battle.-------------------------------------------------------------------Despite a rough childhood in the slums, Omari had everything a guy could want - a loving girlfriend, an understanding sister, a wonderful teacher, and his dream job.
