<h4>Chapter 75: Jacob Larson</h4>


    (Author’s POV)


    Matthew trying to salvage the tense situation, held Elio’s shoulder firmly from behind, urging him not to say anything proactive. He knew full well that how Jacob was a shrew old vampire and was just trying to get a wild reaction out of Elio, so that he could deny their request on the spot. He was indeed a scheming devil.


    Jacob Larson, who seemed just a year or two older than ric and Brave by his mere facial features, was a one fifty year young vampire prince.


    He was elegant and sharp, cunning and sly just like a fox at all times. His ruthlessness and menacing ways of torture was not a secret to the world. As a vampire, he was calctive and manipting, never the one to lose hisposure in front of others. He was always dressing to impress and with his bloodless skin and attractive and bewitching features, he was abination of sexy as well as dangerous.


    <i>There were multiple rumors swirling around about Jacob Larson, the Royal Prince of the famous Blood Fangs n. The most prominent one was that Jacob Larson had a lot of pure virgin female humans serving him day and night in his house as his ves, who would provide him with their sweet and scintiting blood, which is why he was so powerful. Apart from their regr duty to give him blood, he would sexually toy with them and break them with his brutality ways.</i>


    "Alright, I will give you the holy basil as you asked. After all, we have plenty of them in our kitty, ummhmm" Jacob, changing his tune, took another sip from his beetroot colored tea, agreed to give them the valuable herb, surprising the werewolf duo. But the pair knew it won’t be that easy and simple to make Jacob Larson agree, he was a crafty person after all.


    "But~ but, but, Young Alpha Elio, don’t you think, you should offer us something as well by showing your pack’s sincerity towards us. Then, can it be considered a win-win scenario for both sides, what do you say?" Jacob suggested leisurely.


    Elio joined his hands together, tightened the hold at them, as he asked, "What does the Royal Prince of Blood Fangs n want? Our Moon Shine Pack will try to fulfill all your ’legitimate’ demands."


    Jacob smirked at Elio’smitted words, as he chimed lightly, feeling amused. With a loud enoughugh, he inquired, "Legitimate? Am I someone who does illegal things? You tell me, Chris. Am I such a being? Have I done anything or have something illegitimate under my possession?"


    "You are the Royal Prince of the Blood Fangs n, whatever you do, whatever you want is always reasonable" Chris Shadow spoke with a slight edge in his voice, showcasing Jacob’s power and that he gets what he wants.


    "See, I have never been an unreasonable vamp. Anyways, Young Wolf, let’s talk about something else." Jacob adjusted his gold sses as he continued, "You pack is making headlines for a lot of reasons in the recent past, some are good whereas some are not. I heard your long lost twin sister is back, you must be feeling exhrated. And she has also brought a childhood buddy to your pack and that friend of hers is a human."


    Elio tried to control himself, as Leo roared inside him ready to pounce on any minute; they knew Jacob’s implications, where this talk was heading towards.


    As much as Elio tried to quell his burning anger, he was still a young Alpha and couldn’t fully repress it. Jacob was thrilled while seeing that, he was enjoying every bit of their conversation, so he uttered, "That childhood friend, she must be a beauty, right. What is her name again?"


    Matthew mind linked Elio, ’do not do anything rash, don’t. He is trying to get in your head and mess it up."


    Elio was holding his brimming anger just barely enough, as he clenched his jaw tightly and then rxed gradually, "His Highness, that human is not of much importance to me or my pack. Whether she is beautiful or not, it is none of my concern. I am not her friend. She is simply a guest and my sister’s human friend, ordinary friend and nothing much, just an acquaintance to say the least. The Goddess daughter title was just an honorary one. The real issue here is the child we are here on behalf of and his life."


    Jacob smiled as hemented, "Hmmm, indeed, indeed, the young Alpha Elio is absolutely right. Chris, bring the holy basil and give them to our guests." Chris Shadow, taking his boss’s order vanished in the air.


    Jacob then carried on further, "But, it is not fair. You have not even told me the human girls’ name? <i>She must have one or is he nameless?"</i>


    Elio pursed his lips, as his vocal chords turned a tiny bit hoarse, <i>"Her name is Mira." </i>


    "Just Mira, she doesn’t have a full name?" Jacob probed further, testing Elio grit and patience.


    Taking a deep breath, Elio replied with a feigned smile, "His Highness, <i>she is just an orphaned girl, not worthy of your attention."</i>


    <i>"Ahhh, too bad, I was kind of interested in knowing her"</i> Jacob lost interest in between the talk. Seeing that, Elio sighed inwardly in relief. But Jacob was not done yet, "Young Alpha and Beta Matthew, I want to visit your pack, bestowed with full respect. That is my side of the deal. Legitimate enough? Do you agree?"


    Elio mouth twitched as he thought, ’Just a simple visit, as in it will be."


    Nevertheless, for now he had to solve this, so he answered in the affirmative, "We will be honored and delighted to have the Royal Prince of Blood Fangs at our pack house. Whenever you decide to visit us, we will make preparations for your visit, His Highness the Royal Prince."


    Jacob pped his hands together, "Aaaa, great. We have a deal now."


    Soon, Chris came with a potted holy basil nt and handed it over to them. Matthew took the terracotta pot carefully from him with both hands.


    "Now, that your work is done here, you may return. After all, you have to save a life of a young human. Good luck." Jacob said and the pair started to depart.


    Jacob suddenly stopped them and uttered, <i>"But before that, I have an advice for you and your wolf, Young Alpha Elio. You both are not very good at hiding your emotions. Try to subdue your internal thoughts and not let them be that obvious"</i> and with thatment, Jacob dismissed the duo.


    "Thank you for your gracious piece of advice, Royal Prince." They replied and walked out of his office with spring in their steps.


    After the door was closed, Jacobughed loudly again, <i>"The new generation of Lycan Alpha’s is quite interesting. It will be fun."</i>


    Their chopper was already waiting for them, as Elio checked the time from his wrist watch; it was six in the evening. "Ahhh, hopefully we will get back home in time."

    In Kimberg


    The rain had turned into a literal storm as the sound of lightening striking the surroundings intensified and heightened. The air was somber and filled with oppressiveness, as if holding something ominous in it.


    ric Everests, who had returned to the study room as soon he walked in the house, was experiencing whirlwind of emotions. On one hand, he was d, <i>’only a few hours from now and that human will be out of this mansion, out of Kimberg and out of our lives. And everything will resume, as it was before.’</i>


    But as he thought so, the stuffiness in the left side of his rib cage was quite apparent. It took only a simple and small talk with Myra for him to understand that the bond between his dear sister and her friend was something deep and beautiful and it was unbreakable.


    That made him and Alex nervous for the uing dinner and the announcement. The rumbling outside wasn’t helping it in the least.


    Remembering something of extreme importance, he mind linked Brave immediately, who was still at thepany because of the brutal downpour, "Brave, where are you?"


    Brave unlike before, answered to his calling, "I was busy with something and about to leave thepany. What happened?"


    "The lightening outside is bolting loudly, it is not suitable for you to go outside in this weather. You should just stay put for now." ric’s advice was consumed with care towards his twin brother.


    Brave understanding the meaning behind ric’s concern assured him, "I am fine brother. It does not affect me now, trust me. And Dion told me, there was a dinner party at the mansion. I will be there." Brave wanted to return as soon as possible but was held up all day by something or other.


    It was Brave’s only chance to know whether Myra Miracle, the human girl was the one who could wake Raw up and by no means would he let go of that opportunity, even if he had to go through with the trauma of reliving the pain he did not want to. He was full of determination and was absolutely resolute.


    ric held his forehead with his hand, pinching it and said, "Take care on the road then. And if something happens or you feel dizzy or woozy, mind link me immediately, do not dy."


    "Alright, I will" Brave disconnected the link.


    ric looked at his palm, the scar left by the silver dagger made him uneasy.
