The Werewolf of Castlevania (Book 2)

Chapter 1 - Paradise

Wiping the sweat from my face I turn to once again face Alucard standing across the clearing from me, a cocky snicker playing across his chiseled features. That dick. We have been sparring for almost an hour now and I have yet to get a good hit on him. Because of our fast healing neither of us are holding back. Alucard armed with his enchanted blade uses his speed to charge at me, I call upon my beast, feeling my eyes start to glow as I track his movements.

Clang! Our blades crash against each other as we clash. Alcuard bares his fangs at me, his golden eyes shining in the midday sun. A low growl rumbles from my throat as I duck a swing from his sword and charge, side stepping his next swing I tackle him to the ground straddling his waist.

"Surrender my love." I whisper pressing the tip of my knife into his throat. Alucard chuckles as he drops his blade in mock surrender staring deeply into my eyes as my beast settles. In the past couple months I have gotten more control, able to call on my beast whenever needed, even during the full moon I am no longer a raging wolf hell bent on killing. Even so Alucard is always there beside me every month making sure I do not hurt anyone. I miss Belmont and Sypha but I do not regret my choice to stay at Dracula's castle with Alucard, I feel our love growing with every passing day. But I can see that killing Dracula still wears heavily on his heart.

"Charlie?" Alucard's cold hand caresses my cheek bringing back to reality "Are you alright?"

I lean softly into the touch, focusing on the cool feeling of his hand against my hot cheek. "I am fine my dear just thinking about what it took for us to be where we are today. Do you ever regret any of it?"

Alucard gently pulls me down beside me cuddling me into his side "I regret having to kill my father. He may have been a monster but he was my father, a genius, he knew so much about everything. He was becoming a better person then because of the fear from humans she was killed."

I humming thoughtfully I snuggled deeper into his side "Lisa was a wonderful woman. Dracula was misunderstood and in pain but instead of growing better he regressed into his primal instincts." Alucard lay quietly staring up at the clear blue sky.

I let myself relax, slowly I could feel the barriers I held for so long crumbling away. I am letting people in. I only pray that I do not grow to regret it.
