It was 4 am. The ocean waves were at high tide pushing and pulling gently. There was a light breeze. In the distant were the glowing lights of Covens Keep, a port town at the point of the chanel. The island has always been desired, as it sits in the middle of the vampires' and werewolves' main capitals. The people of Coven's Keep lived in constant fear of being livestock. The witches of the town the only source of income coming in. It is 35 years after the nuclear explosions that caused the great reset of this planet. Technology is now rare and a symbol of wealth for those able to use it. People now live day-to-day like in the medieval times and vampires, werewolves and magic, something that used to be in stories. Was found to have some truth. Until one day, every living creature became united under one coat of arms. We will start at the beginning.Tempest was up meditating above the water. It was a way to control her chaos magic of water to just around the vicinity of her body. The s
Two large men came and stood on both sides of Tempest. She did not know if she should attack them and run or go along with them. This felt like 10 years ago all over again. No choice but to move where she was placed. She walked along with her two escorts up to the castle. Along the way she could already see signs of the vampires settling in. Drinking from people's necks like they were on tap. The cries that came from the town was beyond depressing. People being pulled out of their homes and all the adults being accounted for. Women being checked for virginity. Virgins were always given to the Lord as their blood was considered the purest. People's inventory being checked and confiscated by soldiers. These things always happen when the army temporarily occupies an area for battle. Tempest sighed. She felt like the chaos all around her made everything that much more depressing. Tempest saw the blond vampire looking at her for a moment, while they walked to the castle. He turned and whis
The following day, Tempest could feel the sun rays on her skin. She sat up in the bed, just in time to hear the door knock. Sister Esther walked in and Tempest could immediately feel herself become anxious. As Esther walked in, with a black lace ball gown in her hands. The corseted bodice was see-through and had a beautiful embroidered pattern, but it looked uncomfortable and not anything like what she would normally wear. Tempest looked at Esther flatly. She said, " I am going to look ridiculous walking around in that." Esther stood straight with a stern look on her face. She said, I know you want to be difficult, but Master Alucard had this dress rush made for you. So you can meet his generals and Lords that arrived here to manager with the coven. You will need their approval, so the council can approve your ritual bond." Tempest sat up defiantly. She said, " Maybe I do not want to be bonded to him. Isn't it enough I already have to be bonded to him. I get to be a walking IV bag for
Tempest was soaking in the bath. Thankful for the time alone, after undergoing all of Elena's magical beautification process. As she calls it. Tempest could still feel the burn from the wax strips, removing all her hair. Right after that, she was subjected to a hot old dip. To which, Tempest had to admit as she rubbed her legs together. Her skin did feel amazing. She smiled happily to herself. Before, there was a knock on the door. She could hear Elena say on the other side of the door, " We need to get ready. No! You will not hurt my lady again!" Tempest quickly jumped up from the tub. She could hear a scuffle. She used the water int he tub to grab a robe for her. She tied it around her waist as she ran out the door. It was a gray wolf, it's sharpened claws were stepping on Elena's chest. Tempest's eyes glowed with instant anger. The wolf quickly lunged at Tempest, which was a bad idea. The wolf did not see the ice sword Tempest had materialized in her hand. Tempest quickly swung th
Alucard was in the dining hall of the castle. He was walking with Anton speaking with the various representatives of the council, from Raiden. A rep of Vudu, said to Alucard, " I cannot wait to see her eyes, I heard they glow boldly. But is she really going to be suitable? We do not know her lineage?" Reave a round man, with a face and neck like an exclamation point. He said, " Yes, especially when he had a choice of old blood lineage to choose from. Seems like a wild card to me. I would be worried about my genes." Alucard rolled his eyes. He knew this weasel was one of Annette, on the council minions. Annette was one of the old blood women. Who had been seeking a proposal from Alucard. He said, " Well, with the noble women I saw. I would not be passing them on, at all." Alucard rolled his eyes as he walked off, leaving Anton to apologize for him. Alucard sighed as he walked among the guest in the room. Alucard looked around the room for his sires. He saw Amethyst sitting on the side
empest quickly ran up the stairs, the look on his face. Alucard was going to for sure decline the proposal now. Tempest began to cry, she should have just stayed quiet and to herself. Tempest even though she was mad, at Esther. She hated to see the disappointment on her face. Esther, was like a mother to Tempest. The main person, she had grew to rely on. The only constant, in her life for this long. Not long after she heard a knock on the door, Cyan opened the door slowly. She walked and looked around the immaculately decorated room. She said softly, " Huh, he is so picky. Everything is so tidy. It's missing something though." Tempest was wiping the tears from her face. Cyan walked over and sat down next to Tempest. Cyan cleaned up Tempest make up, before saying quietly, " A little bit of chaos." Tempest looked surprised as she sat up. Cyan said, " Alucard had a smirk on his face all night. " Tempest sighed, " Not when I threw up all over him. Stupid wine and blood. I still do not und
Alucard was pacing outside the castle where the outer wall of the keep and the castle connect. He had just taken a long drag from his pipe. When he sensed one of his sires behind him, he exhaled the smoke, He asked without looking behind him, " What do you want, Amethyst? When I want time to myself. I do not understand why you all always seem to come find me anyway." Alucard could feel a set of hands touch his sides before wrapping around him. Alucard's thoughts flashed to a moment on the balcony with Tempest. Alucard quickly removed her unwanted hands from his body and he turned quickly, to see a shocked Amethyst. Alucard looked at the shock in Amethyst's eyes. Alucard looked to the side before backing away, putting space between the two. He put his hand in his fine platinum hair and said quietly, " I did not mean to startle you. I am just not in the mood for games, Amethyst. I am thinking. What do you want?" Amethyst approached Alucard slowly. She had been by her master's side for y
At first, Tempest could just see shadows for the first few seconds. She opened her eyes. Then her consciousness began to hear the humming sound of voices whispering. Slowly, the sounds became understandable as words. Tempest thought, I must have been struck pretty hard. I need water. As her eyes began to widen, and she took in the surroundings around her, Tempest could tell they were in some sort of underground sewer system. She had never heard of the underground tunnels being under the town. She wondered how elaborate they could possibly be. She could feel water nearby. They knew not to put it in her room. However, they really did not know much about her powers. As long as Tempest is hydrated or if water is near, she can use it. Tempest's eyes lit up, as she easily controlled the water without even the need to see it. She used it to cut open the lock on her door. Tempest opened it quietly and walked out of her confinement. The underground space consisted of several tunnels, Tempest h
Tempest's heart was racing as Alucard guided her blind, to their suite. She could hear a door open and Alucard guided her inside. He made the comment, " This is nice." Tempest could feel the warmth of the fire. She asked, " Can I remove the blindfold now." She could feel a warmth breath against her neck and hands running down the arch of her back. Alucard sighed, in her ear. He said quietly, " I will take the blindfold off. Just relax. I am going to imprint, my touch on your body. I want you to never forget it." Tempest's breath began to pick up as she felt Alucard's lips connect to her neck. She could feel the wet cool sensation of his tongue, before kissing her neck. Alucard's hands smoothly unlaced the corset of her wedding dress. His cool hands then slowly trailed to the front of her body, Tempest felt her gown fall to the ground. Alucard's hands were weather and soft as he cupped her breast. Alucard turned her to face him. His hands ran down Tempest's arms before taking her hands
Evening came and Alucard was nervous as he looked at his image in the mirror. Ignacio came to his side and helped him adjust his suit jack. The emerald green looked bold against his skin and his hair was freshly cut. He let out a heavy breath of nervousness. Trevor came to his side with a shot glass. He said, " Here is something to fix you up." Alucard threw down the whiskey. He nodded at Trevor in appreciation. Alucard looked from Trevor to Ignacio, and he said, " You guys ready to do this?" They both nodded and patted Alucard's back. As they walked out of the inn dressing room. Rosa approached Alucard and the men, who were in their finest. She smiled, " You all look, so handsome. "Alucard and the men smiled as Rosa took Alucard's arm with Ignacio on the other side. When Alucard walked out into the town square, the lights from the lanterns twinkled against the gold and emerald decorations. The black Gothic archway was wrapped in gold. Alucard felt flutters in his chest as he walked d
Tempest felt overwhelmed as she sat in the braiding chair getting her hair braided by several people. While Rosa and Elaine shoved different dresses and different shoes and jewelry in front of her. Rosa said, " What is wrong with this dress?' Tempest shook her head and said, " I am not sure, too white, maybe. This is all happening so soon. Can we just pick something?" Elaine and Rosa looked at each other confused. Elaine said, " Just choose something? Tempest, this is your wedding. You cannot just choose something." Tempest sighed, " To be honest, I thought we were already married. We have been soul bonded for several months now. I forgot all about a wedding. It seems trivial compared to the other issues going on." Rosa looked at Tempest. She said, " If your mind is too cloudy, where you cannot enjoy your own wedding planning, Tempest. Then we need to wait. You only get married once. Alucard would not have suggested it unless he thought it was important." Tempest winced as her section
Alucard trained with Ignacio until Ignacio grew tired and then more till the anger against the world subsided. Until he reached the max he could hold the power before putting the seal back up. Alucard fell to his knees breathing heavily. Though he ate and had plenty of energy. He would need to feed from Tempest as soon as he was back. Alucard was annoyed by it. He did not want to wake her, just to drink from her. He thought to himself, I just have to keep practicing, until I do not need as much blood. As for now, it looks like I will have to bother Tempest. I cannot allow myself to starve or I could go feral. That must have been what happened last time. I need to be more responsible and aware. Alucard's thought flashed to Tempest's memories. It was clear to him, that day Tempest's mother had put her in the water. By how Tempest was lying as her mother held her. Alucard knew that Tempest was clearly dead before she was put in the water. Her mother must have made a pack with the Calyps
Alucard could not believe his eyes. He was staring at a younger Tempest. All of a sudden, he felt a presence next him, It was a present day, Tempest. She said quietly, " This is before my eyes turned the blue, that is so coveted by others now." Alucard looked in amazement at her. This was an upper class skill to be able to show flashbacks like this through a bond link. He asked, "When did you?" Tempest finished his sentence while raising her right eyebrow, " Learn how to do this?" She began to follow the kids, taking Alucard's hand to guide him. She continued passing through the barren looking town. It was nothing like the place Alucard had seen. You could hear the cries of the people that were being hanged. The streets were dirty and poorly taken care of and at the top. The Castle stood in magnificent glory. How disgusting, Alucard thought with a disgusted look on his face as he looked at the condition of the town. No wonder. No resistance had grown in this land. Look how poorly they
Alucard and Tempest had been living among the people of Saint Francis for a little over a month. Tempest was getting the hang of not being weakened by creating small barriers, but anything larger than a building still managed to put stress on her body. This was the fourth time, Alucard had to watch her lie unconscious in their home. The more he saw her in this state, the more he was against her fighting. Despite that, as soon as she was up. She would be right back to training. He had lost her before. What if constantly practicing these barriers leaves her exposed for Calypso to take over her body? Alucard did not want to admit it, but they had not progressed far in their relationship since the night they kissed at the festival. He has not even gotten a chance to kiss her again since then either. Alucard was looking down at her with worry in his heart. He scoffed, Damn her, did she not care what happened to her? Why does she keep trying to learn? He thought. ALucard looked up when he s
When Anton, got to his room, he was already dreading this meeting with the council. It has been a month since Alucard went missing. However, Anton could tell Alucard was not dead. He sired him, and he would feel great loss. So Anton was aware that Alucard was finding a way not to make his presence known. What Anton could not figure out was why. Could it be the woman, he thought. Anton immediately dismissed the idea. He was pacing around the room. When he stopped in place and found himself saying aloud, " Well, she was the last person who he was with. Maybe he decided he needed that time with her." Anton remembered the young boy he raised into the man he was today. Anton sighed. it was so hard for them to be loyal to the council and keep the interests of Alucard in mind. The older he gets as a vampire. Anton never thought he would become attached enough to a human after everything humans had done to him. He never ceases to amaze me. I guess, I got to buy him some time. If he still hasn
When Tempest woke up, she was in a warm room. The wood-paneled walls looked welcoming, and she was covered in the softest of firs. She looked out the window and it was still late night. She thought, Did I fall asleep? A spiritual awakening is draining. Who would have thought? All of a sudden, the door opened and Alucard had walked in. His black button up was halfway unbuttoned, and he had wood chips on his clothes. He dusted his hands off, and he said, " Oh, you are awake? I was putting some wood on the fire and Rosa brought over some leftovers. I put in the chill box. It is some of her leftover chili. If you are hungry, I can go get it and heat it up for you." Tempest let out a sigh. She said, " You are exhausting. You just woke up. If anything, I should be asking you that. " ALucard chuckled and sat down on the corner of the bed. He said, " I know, I know. It just feels like I have slept for forever. I feel like there is so much to do. So much to improve to make this suitable for yo
Alucard was not expecting Tempest to allow a kiss, let alone be the aggressor in continuing it. He could taste the sweet white wine on her breath. When she pulled away, she stopped millimeters from his lips. She looked from his lips to his eyes and said, " Thank you for saving me, Alucard." Alucard smiled, stroking her face with his thumb. He said hoarsely, " I would do it again, to see you in this. When I got out of the carriage, I could have died ironically from getting choked up from seeing you in that dress. You almost made all your effort in saving me useless." Tempest could not help but to laugh. Alucard had such a strange sense of humor, but she understood it. She asked quietly, " With your sires dead, how will they find us." Alucard shook his head. He said, " My sires are not permanently dead. They escaped as soon as they thought they were killed. That type of injury will take a while to recover. So I do not care about it right now. This is the first night, I have got to spend
