TALE OF A MAFIA KING

Over the course of 400 years, Ava has been bestowed with numerous titles: vampire slayer, immortal huntress, demoness, and more. These names were earned through her formidable reputation.

For four centuries, she has relentlessly pursued and dispatched vampires, her invincibility making her a subject of fascination within vampire circles.

However, Ava’s life wasn’t always steeped in such darkness. Four centuries ago, she defied her princess status to pursue a forbidden love with a human. The union of werewolves and humans was forbidden for various reasons. Firstly, werewolves found it impossible to recover from the loss of a human mate due to their profound connection, considering humans as fragile beings in constant need of protection. Secondly, mating with humans had dire consequences for their offspring. They could only produce wolf-men, hybrids unable to transform into full wolves at will. Their transformations occurred only under a full moon, accompanied by excruciating pain as their bodies contorted to complete the shift—a fate no parent would wish upon their child.

But Ava couldn’t care less as she had fallen head over heels for this human. She had imprinted on him, and there was no going back. Things were going well for them until one day, a new creature—one she had never heard of before—attacked the village. It was far faster and slightly stronger than her, swiftly killing anyone in its path.

This single creature started multiplying in numbers as people who were deemed dead in the village started coming back as one of these bloodsucking creatures. Ava had seen many things in her lifetime, but she had never encountered necromancy. It was an art forbidden in her kingdom; her father would have burned every witch at the stake if such dark practices were discovered.

What made matters worse was that the resurrected villagers were not only the result of necromancy but were also bestowed with strength and speed, feeding on the blood of the villagers.

Sadly, her human mate, Michael, finally fell victim to one of these bloodsuckers. Unlike others, he didn’t come back to life; he simply died. Ava felt an excruciating pain in her heart, the pain of losing a mate. The pain of knowing it would never stop hurting until the day she takes her final breath. She had kept his body, hoping he would return, but he never did. As his body began to decay before her, Ava’s rage drove her to uncover the origins of these creatures. She discovered the witch who had created them using powerful and forbidden ancient dark magic. The witch, Olivia, had initially intended to kill Ava with the first creature, fueled by jealousy and a desire for revenge. Olivia had loved Michael before Ava arrived and resented Ava for his attention. As a witch, she knew that wolves and humans were not a good pair and that their union might harm their future children. However, her plan backfired, and Michael died instead. Olivia blamed Ava for her pain, but Ava’s loss was unparalleled. When Ava confronted Olivia, she asked why, and Olivia explained her motivations, claiming she felt equal pain. But Ava, a wolf who had imprinted on a human and lost him, knew her pain was unmatched – a mix of agony and guilt that would haunt her until her final breath. The two enemies clashed, with Ava seeking justice for Olivia’s actions.

They both fought, as Ava wanted her to pay for what she had done. But Olivia had ventured deeper and deeper into black magic, so much so that it had devoured her soul. She had killed her grandmother, the witch leader, and taken her powers for herself, making Ava no match for her. She quickly subdued her. Seeing how quickly she had been defeated and knowing she stood no chance, Ava begged that Olivia finish her off. However, Olivia was about to consider the option but then thought, killing her would only be mercy. She wanted Ava to suffer for the rest of her life, and she would make sure that the rest of her life would be a very long time. So she cursed her with immortality, ensuring that Ava would have to bear the pain of losing her mate for all eternity.
