The Wicked Ones: Destiny of a Vampire

Author's note/ Prologue

So, my loves, I hope this story will grab your attention. This book is the most important one to me because it rekindled my passion for writing after so many years. A few years ago, I came up with the idea of writing a vampire novel, and I've been working on this idea ever since. I've polished this book for a long time, and I hope you will like it.

The book is about destiny which is unchangeable. What is meant to happen will eventually occur, no matter how hard one tries to alter the fate. Things happen to us for a reason, and avoiding fate only leads us to a more complicated path to meeting our destiny. Along the journey of reading this book, you will encounter charismatic characters and a luxurious life, all infused with magic and mystery. Mages, vampires, and luxury are the main elements of this book. So if you like those kinds of stories, this one will be the perfect match.

English is my second language, don't be surprised or angry if you see some mistakes here and there.

The book contains mature content (blood, murder, and a few intimate scenes, but nothing too wild).

As some of you may know, this book was originally titled Running from Reality. However, I made some changes to it and decided to update everything and publish a new book. The story remains the same.

The distribution, translation, and replication of this story are strictly prohibited without my permission. All rights are reserved.

Enjoy the book and good reading❤️

PROLOGUE

332 BC, End of Ancient Egypt.

"Asim, my love, what have you done to them?" Tears streamed down Serena's face.

"They were dying. This was the only way to save them."

I gazed a at my script, and my hands were still shaking after the spell I had enchanted. I still wasn't sure if I had killed them or if they were going to wake up. They seemed to be dead, and there were no signs of life in their bodies. If they do wake up, is it possible that they will remain the same?

No one has ever resurrected a human from the dead, so I have no clue what to expect.

Serena sobbed and ran closer to the bodies lying on the cold ground. The moon shone so brightly that I could see the tears streaming down her face. It pained me to see her in pain but there was nothing I could do. I had tried to save them, but the poison they had consumed was too strong. I should have checked the gifts we received from the villagers.

"My babies. My babies." She repeated the same sentence as she held Arius in her grip and hugged him." You killed them-your children!"

"Serena, we have to let them go. Let the Gods have them."

"Try again, you have the gift!"

"They are dead." I attempted to get her off the ground, but I noticed how the eyes of my deceased son had suddenly opened.

"My sweet son! " Serena kissed his forehead. "You came back to me!"

"No!" I screamed as I pulled Serena's hand but she refused to move away from him. "Serena, please move!"
