A Vampire's Promise Chapter 74: Wanted Criminal
Sol's POV"Did you know?" Those were the first words my father spoke to me on the phone call that changed everything. Of course, at that time, no, I didn't know. Nor would I have known unless he had told me in the coming moments of what he had learned. There was a rage in my father's voice, the likes of which I had never heard of before. It was like when he would scold Kyrin or me when either of us had done something particularly disgraceful, in his eyes, to the family name. I wasn't aware of how spot-on I was with that prediction then, but I was sure to find out. "Good evening, Father," I greeted him. "Know what?""Don't play coy with me, boy." Irritation quickly began to grow in me. Mia was missing from her own home with signs of struggle very evident at the scene where she was last found. I had no time to play games with my father or try to understand his twisted way of getting around things. "I assure you," I knew he realized I didn't by the way I spoke to him

Mia's POVI awoke to chains around me—no, not chains, rope. Harsh, thick rope rubbed against my wrists' soft skin. They felt raw and bruised from the way they had been tied. I blinked my eyes open. The light of the bright lamp beside me lit up the entire area and cast an eerie shadow at the same time. There was no one around me. I could hear the faint dripping of leaking pipes, but no other sound was heard. Suddenly, footsteps echoed across the hard concrete of the floors. I was bound by my wrists and ankles. I was unable to see who was approaching me from behind, but I didn't have to wait long to figure it out.Kyrin Montgomery's face appeared in front of mine. His expression was wide and cynical. Speaking of all the evil things that were to come, he stared at me with eyes red and blazing. A gasp left me as I tried to look away. I tried to break free, but I couldn't. "Now, now," he purred as he rested his hands on either arm of my chair. "There's no need to act like that.

Sol's POVOnce I knocked down the heavy iron door of the room, I came face to face with a frightening sight. Mia was sitting in a chair in the middle of the room, bound by her ankles and wrists. What set an enraged feeling throughout my body was the sight of Kyrin on his knees before her. His teeth were sunk into her neck. Her blood dripped down from her neck and spilled from his mouth."Kyrin!" I roared at him as I sped toward where he was sitting. Just as I thought he perhaps did not hear me or was too slow to react, he turned around just in time. I had to stop myself from barreling into Mia.Kyrin appeared from behind me and landed a kick to my back, sending me flying. A fight ensued, as it always did. I felt an enraged roar rip through me as I lunged myself at Kyrin. His mouth was dripping with Mia's blood. That fact only urged me to move forward even harder. I felt the crack of his skull beneath my first and his entire body shake and tremble as I got on top of him a

"Yes, yes." My breath dropped as my phone nearly fell from between my shoulder blade and ear. "Sorry! Yes, no I can definitely be there tonight." I paused as I listened to the manager on the other end. "You want me there in an hour?" My eyes moved to the wrist of my full hand. "Yes, I can make it.""Great," the coordination staff member said into my ear as I hurried through the threshold of my apartment. "We'll see you for the party at six in an hour then. Please don't be late."I sighed loudly once the cellphone shut off and dumped all my books and bag onto the couch. Today had been another restless one of classes. It seemed it was going to be the same for the night as well. Rubbing my eyes, I hurriedly made my way to the bathroom to freshen up.It wasn't like I had a choice whether to accept the offer or not. My current economic status was less than satisfactory, which was just a nice and fancy way of saying I was flat broke. I laughed at myself in the mirror as I dried my h
Last Updated : 2023-02-09A Vampire's Promise Chapter 2: An Irrefutable Offer
Touch was the first one of my senses that came back to me as I woke up. The fabulous, smooth silk material was beneath my fingers before my eyes even registered where I was. I felt the material beneath my cheek and groaned at the feeling.The second thing I realized when I opened my eyes, was that I was in a room, presumably one of the rooms from the hotel from the familiar interior. I had spent many hours in these sorts of rooms cleaning up after guests to not recognize it when I saw it.However, the main object of the room, and the only thing that was not familiar to me, was the handsome man sitting in a black leather chair next to my bed. His legs were spread apart, and his forearms rested against his thighs.His head was slightly bent up as he looked at me from his hunched position. Every caliber of my being screamed at me to flee. He was looking at me like I might do just that too. Green eyes stared down at me with a predatory gaze, and dark black hair fell on his forehead a

After I accepted Sol's offer and followed him to his house, the first thing I realized was he introduced his full name as Sol Montgomery. That name was not who I thought he was.He was so much more.My initial guess was that he was just another wealthy pureblood. That thought was shot to high heavens as we pulled up into the mansion's driveway—maybe more of a small castle's driveway. Either or, it was like something out of an epic fantasy novel. I knew purebloods loved to live lavishly but wasn't something like this just a tad excessive for a single bachelor to live alone in? Sol must have noted my awe-struck expression as I stared up at the mansion-castle because I heard him laugh from beside me."The house has been in my family for… Well, as long as I can remember. I grew up in this house, and so did my father." That shocked me. The question of how old Sol was rushed through my mind, but I knew better than to ask a vampire how old they were. Least of all, one you barely knew

I woke up not three hours later due to noises coming from outside of my bedroom. It sounded like chattering and then shuffling. Just as I sat up, they disappeared. A part of me wondered if it was Sol making noises in the kitchen. I was surprised to see a human woman. She was ransacking the cupboards with a piece of bread in her mouth, and we both froze as we saw each other."Um, hello?" the brown-haired woman greeted me as her equally hazel eyes gave a cautious look. The woman was beautiful, no doubt, and made me fidget slightly in her gaze. Sol had mentioned his family could visit, but this woman in front of me was definitely human. "Hello…" I replied cautiously. "Who… Who are you?" Was she a woman Sol had brought here for the night? Thinking of it, I suddenly felt irritable and restless."Hahaha, I could ask you the same question." The woman laughed as she walked toward the counter in the middle of the kitchen and sat on top with food in her hands. "It isn't like Sol to hav

When I was on my way back to the manor, my head was turning because of the high temperature. I felt the food in my hands was heavier than it should have been due to the exhaustion. I had noticed the severe lack of human food in the house last night, so I got some after my classes.As a half-breed, I could survive by having human food, which was one of the things I was delighted about. I couldn't imagine how I would have lived if I couldn't taste human food ever again. It was afternoon when I finally made it into the mansion and the kitchen, passing the regular electronic security checks. I figured Sol was still asleep for the day and didn't bother letting him know I had come back before getting ready to prepare my dinner.I peeled the potatoes. My mind ran with thoughts of the previous night—the couple I had met, and their peculiar situation. I was not sure what the situation of my parents was, but I had never met a pair like them in my life. Sol was indifferent to their blood s

A Vampire's Promise Chapter 73: MIA
Sol's POVSerin, Sarah, and I all made out way back inside the house. It was a lot colder than what we were used to. Despite the air not having a physical effect on me, I still moved to light the fire, knowing Sarah and Mia would appreciate the warmth. The night was colder than usual. The season was colder than it had been in the previous months. "Are you good?" I heard Serin ask his wife and watched as he draped a blanket over her shoulders. She was shivering slightly from the cold outside she had been in for so long. A part of me wanted to go back to Mia and bring her inside, but I knew she wouldn't want to leave her friend's side so quickly and for the last time. "I'll make some tea," I offered the human woman in front of me. She gave me a thankful smile. Her eyes were bloodshot and teary. She was Kaya's friend too. I supposed it was never easy for humans to lose someone they loved. For vampires, it was less… emotional. For us, it was just another stage in our life. We
A Vampire's Promise Chapter 72: A Bloody Funeral
Mia's POVSol's strong arms were wrapped around me as I watched Bristol flee. I growled from frustration and sank my teeth into him in my enraged state, trying to do anything to make him let me go and chase after my father. When my sharp teeth broke the skin on his neck, he only tightened his arms around me. His rich blood rushed into my mouth and invaded my senses, overwhelming my blood that I had taken in earlier and consuming me. I felt every single droplet of his blood that rushed down my throat as I swallowed it down in gulps. I could not stop as I drank from him and felt my mind slowly begin to soften and calm down. A particular type of haziness enveloped me, and I felt my body grow weak in his arms. My hands clutched onto the thickness of his arms, dragging him closer to me so that I could get a better taste of him. "Sh, sh," I heard Sol's voice hum as he stroked my hair. "It's okay, it's okay." He let me drink from him for as long as I pleased. Only after some mor
A Vampire's Promise Chapter 71: Searing Hot and Blinding
Mia's POVIt was a harrowing thing, fighting off the teeth and claws of someone who once was your best friend. I saw the look in Kaya's eyes just before she attacked me, swirling red with a bloodlust that even I could not manage. I knew my blood had the same effect on her as it did all other vampires. It was a sort of primal desire to just feast. Although my blood didn't smell like that to me, if the evidence of the events throughout my life said anything, it was that. Her jaws made a loud snapping sound as she shut them just inches from the skin of my neck. I managed to kick my leg up in time to catch her in the torso. She was knocked back for a moment, a wheezing breath leaving her before she realized she no longer needed air to breathe. It was insane. Watching Kaya come to terms with being a vampire and having her attack me as though she had been one all her life was something I found hard to comprehend. Just as I turned to run, Kaya grabbed at my arm and sunk her claw
A Vampire's Promise Chapter 70: Loss Of... Everything
Mia's POVEverything seemed hopeless at that point. Kaya's face was contorted into something different, something ravaged and savage all at once. Dark lines decorated her once the clear face. Her eyes were a searing red, something that bore into me wholly and completed. She stared at me, but it was like she was staring through me rather than at me. I remembered calling out to her, whispering her name in a shocking sort of trance, "Kaya, Kaya, Kaya," like a lament of some sort. But she couldn't hear me. She was too far gone from me now, in the thrall of a man who had enslaved me for the first half of my life. Like me then, like her now. "What did you do to her?" I ground out. A rage enveloped me where grief first made home, and the two danced inside of me to a beautiful anthem. The anthem's name was revenge. I wanted to hurt him in all the brutal and honest ways I knew how to."Can't you see for yourself?" He patted the top of Kaya's hair. The strawberry blonde locks loo
A Vampire's Promise Chapter 69: Birthday Present
Mia's POV"What do you mean she's missing?" I managed to choke out through the ringing in my ears. The police officer was telling me something, something important, but I couldn't hear him. It was like a buzzing and a haze was covering my senses all at once. I couldn't get myself to fully understand the situation in front of me. Sol was the first one to notice this change. He was in front of me in a split second, knees bent in the same position I was on the floor. When did I get to the floor? Either way, I was here now. My legs felt too weak to stand up. I gripped onto Sol's hand as I forced my brain to fight through the muddled haze it was in. I came just in time to hear the police tell me they had found her phone on the corner side, just where she was supposed to get the candles. It wasn't even twenty minutes away from us. "Okay," I said once the officer had completed his rundown. "Is there anything else you can tell me?""Unfortunately, not. Due to the cases of mi
A Vampire's Promise Chapter 68: Missing Again
Mia's POVLaughs filled the air as the doorbell rang, indicating the last of the guests had finally arrived. Kaya was the first one here, apart from Sol and I, who had already been at my new house since the night before. He had taken a keen interest in sleeping in my new bedroom. In his words, he was making sure everything went smoothly for my first day. The house itself was surprisingly light-tight, shocking both Sol and me. But he quickly explained that it must have been because many of the houses in this part of the town were allocated to old vampire families. My family must have purchased it from one ages ago. It was a miracle in and of itself that the technology seemed to hold and gave me no little amount of anxiety for Sol's safety during the day. But all seemed well by the time the following night followed. I opened the door to see Serin and Sarah there, wide smiles and love-struck eyes as they stared at me. I engulfed them both, happy that they made it and were sa
