1 FIRST DAUGHTER'S DUTY

"Alexa, your grandfather called you into the meeting room." An old maid approached me as I walked down the aisle.

My grandfather was Theodore Aegis. A Chairman of the Light Witch Clan. A Witch clan consisting of 66 witch clans tasked with protecting the world from dark forces.

And I Alexa, 27 years old, is the first granddaughter of the Aegis Clan, Rudolf Aegis and My Mother, Catherine Aegis. I have an older brother Daniel Aegis, and two younger brothers Stevan and Evander Aegis.

I hurried towards the meeting room at the Aegis Mansion, London. I saw Grandpa, Dad and Mom waiting for me while talking in a whisper. The bad feeling immediately struck me. Why are they all gathered here? What are they willing to talk about?

"Alexa, dear, sit down with us" My mother shifted the chair for me. I sat in front of Grandpa while Mom sat next to me.

"Why is it all gathered here? What is it?"

"Alexa, we all gathered here to talking about the future of our clan and your future." My father started the talk. I'm thumping, and it's not good! We're in a time of war with dark forces rising in the Blood Moon cycle.

Alexa cast Nina Dobrev.

"You know how our battles with the dark creatures have developed lately. Their powers are growing beyond our expectations, and we fear the battle ahead will be the greatest gamble of our clan life. The counselors have spoken with your grandfather, and we all agree we need to get some additional help from another tall creature. The vampires and the werewolf. Warewolf has agreed to our request, but the vampires, although they are willing to help, came with a request of"

Dad quit.

"Requests have anything to do with me?"

Now I wouldn't say I like this conversation. Everything is quiet. Even my mom squeezed my hand. Dad looked anxious and wasn't continuing his sentence. At the same time, grandpa straightened up his seat. He looked at me.

"Alexa, the vampire clan is asking you to bond the marriage of their first son."

Shut up. What! Is the tying up the marriage? I was freezing to digest those words in my brain. It's some signature deal.

"What is binding? Some signature contract for grandpa?"

"That you become the wife of their first son."

I'm wide-eyed! How come! I eat human food, and they are mortal. I mortal, they are immortal. Mom took my hand. She seems to know that I resent. I looked at her.

"What do you mean mom, do I have to be like them? I have to be a vampire?"

No! I don't want to! Shit, what is this, now I'm freaking out, and my voice is vibrating.

"Of course not, dear. You are free to choose what you will. Just think of it as a simple introduction, your father's already met him, and he's a decent guy. We ask you, you know, the stakes of our clan, and the world depends on you. " Mom's hand-wringing was cold on my hand.

Sixty-six clans of witches. Twenty-five thousand witches are facing the most significant threat in recent centuries. The blood moon cycle, the demon's energy force at its peak in 333 years.

And a cursed human named Ashlen has bound a cursed covenant with the devil to rule over man and earth.

The demon has always sought to possess the human race, and we are the 66 clans of witches who have been given the gift of angels to eliminate any dark threats against humanity.

And I, the first daughter of the aegis clan, leader of the 66 clans of light witches. Must accept my responsibility.

"I know this may not be easy, but I promise they will treat you well. The fate of the battle ahead depends so much on this; we don't know how much strength we're facing."

Ashleen's final attacks targeted the legions operating center in central London and Zaragoza, Spain. Our facility was damaged, and dozens of people were killed in Spain, not to mention the hundreds of human victims who have fallen in battle worldwide.

"You know the development of our battle against dark creatures in recent times. Their strength is growing beyond our estimates, and we fear the battle ahead will be the biggest bet on our clan's life. The advisers have talked to your grandfather, and we all agree we need to get additional help from another high man. The Vampire and the werewolf. Warewolf already agreed to our request, but vampires, even if they were willing to help, they came up with this request." I sat next to my Mom. She knows this request has shaken me.

Everything is silent. Even my mother squeezed my hand. Dad looks anxious and hasn't continued the sentence. At the same time, the grandfather straightened his seat. He looked at me.

"I know this is a difficult request for you. I must ask you for the safety of the clan. Perhaps it's not so bad. I've met your groom. He seems like a decent and honorable man. You can meet and meet him first."

I took a deep breath. There's no turning back for me. A position comes with great benefits, and great responsibility follows it. I have significantly benefited from my position as the daughter of the clan chairman, honor, privilege, and no one has even dared to mess with me since I was a child. And now. This responsibility is mine to bear; otherwise, I will be responsible for the downfall of the aegis for being untroubled, or even more significant, the fall of the entire clan of light witches and the fall of the world!

"I accept it, grandpa," I replied curtly. Grandpa looked like a sigh of relief, while mom and dad looked at me with protective eyes.

"Thanks, Alexa, Alexander is coming here tomorrow. Joined the main legion of operations in London. You get to know him, and I won't introduce you just yet if you're ready to be formally introduced. We'll officially open your identity."

The center of the 66 clans of witches is London. We have been the leaders of the clan for five generations.

"Yeah, okay," I answered as firmly as I could.

My hands are cold, and my knees are weak. Mom hugged me, and she knew I was surprised by this request. I don't know what I'm facing out front. My life will never be the same from today.
