Before I could say anything else, a pulling force held me like a black hole. I closed my eyes, realizing that my consciousness was being whisked away back to my physical body. Eventually, I woke up in my physical body with a gasp, but when my eyes opened, the first thing I saw was Sylvain staring down at me with concern etched on his face. He sighed in relief and it was then I realized where I was. I'd passed out outside, on the cold ground of the compound and now I found myself on a bed in a room I couldn't quite recognize but was sure was within Alpha Michael's mansion.When I looked around, I was stunned to see myself surrounded by an assemblage of my father, Orion, Alpha Michael, and Luna Laria."My princess!" My father suddenly came up to me and hugged me. "Thank the moon goddess you're alright."I blinked in confusion at his reaction but then realized that the sun was shining brightly outside. I'd fainted at night and now it was morning?How?Hesitantly, I slid out of Dad's h
"So, you wanna tell us what you did to Aria to make her faint?" Orion suddenly asked Sylvain after a few minutes of awkward silence between the three of us. I groaned, glaring at him. "Really? Don't you ever get tired of being a complete jerk?" I shot.His brows furrowed but he soon scoffed with a snigger. "Me, a jerk?" He proceeded to turn his gaze to Sylvain, who sat quietly at the other end of the bed, barely paying any attention to him.Orion's eyes twitched before he pointed his finger at Sylvain. "When are you going to realize that this guy is manipulating you with his... With his vampire mind tricks?" He spat. Sylvain finally chuckled amusingly, placing all his focus on Orion. "Trust me; there is no manipulation going on between Aria and me." He sounded ominous, glancing at me before he continued. "Also, you can stop with the self-projecting. You're just saying that because she's finally escaped YOUR manipulation." And... There it was. The drama I was trying so hard to avoid
"Liz, what the heck?!" I hollered, getting off Sylvain and adjusting my clothes. Elizabeth finally blinked and covered her mouth, her face turning redder than a tomato as she struggled to look away."Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry... I– I didn't you two would..." She trailed off, still glancing at us from time to time. I was finally able to fully adjust my clothes and arrange my hair a little before placing my focus back on Elizabeth. I instantly noticed the blush on her face turning into a mischievous smirk, forcing me to blush instead. "Ahem!" Sylvain suddenly coughed and got out of bed, simply straightening his shirt before he spoke. "I think I'll be on my way. We'll continue this... Some other time."His eyes lingered on me for a while but he finally tore his gaze away from me when I looked away.With that, Sylvain waltzed away, leaving me and Elizabeth alone."Phew... What a gentleman." Elizabeth suddenly muttered with a sarcastic tone and was about to walk to the bed when Sylvain'
SYLVAIN****I knew it. I knew from the minute I saw Nikolaus sitting in that dining room that this dinner was going to be nothing but unnecessary drama. And like I'd suspected, it happened.Immediately after Aria revealed Orion's cheating; all hell went loose with the other people gathered at the table. And the worst part was, I was sure Nikolaus wasn't controlling their emotions this time. I could tell from the way he smirked with amusement and discreetly drank from his liquor as he watched the arguments unfold.The satisfaction I felt when I shut Cassandra up by using telekinesis to discreetly cause a maid to spill a drink on her, was unmatched. I couldn't help smirking to myself and gave Aria a mischievous wink. Eventually, I got tired of the arguments and left, glancing back at Aria as a signal to let her know that she could come with me if she wanted.When I finally stepped outside, I sighed, focusing on reaching Ravenna's mind telepathically. Powerful vampires like myself, s
"Oh dear, did the young miss faint?" Nikolaus asked with a clueless stare, as if he was now unable to see the obvious.I merely gave him a demeaning glare before I carried on with moving into the mansion with Aria. She was still breathing fine, but she shook and mumbled some incoherent words in her comatose state. I tired several times to wake her up, all to no avail. Eventually, we took her to a room and placed her on top a bed after which I brought up the suggestion of bringing in a witch. One who would easily be able to tell what was wrong with Aria and hopefully prescribe supernatural treatment.But Lucian was oddly skeptical about the idea. "A witch? Wouldn't they be able to actually tell what's wrong with her?" He asked hesitantly.I glanced at him, responding with a shrug. "I could you ask you the same question about your werewolf doctors but if you feel they could be of help, then carry on." I was not about to teach the man how to look after his daughter. Eventually, a do
Aria had a lot of explaining to do, but I ignored all that when she suddenly made a move on me and I tried initiating sex after everyone exited the room and left us alone.I didn't resist and soon kissed her until she got on top of me. I could feel a particular member in my lower body awakening as we kissed and my arms began roaming her back, my insides burning with desire. However, it was a desire that got snuffed away by the abrupt entrance of her witch friend, Elizabeth. I had no choice but to leave the room, letting Aria catch up with her friend... For now. The more I thought about it, the more the desire to finally bed her burned stronger inside me. As these thoughts played inside my head, they just had to be ruined when I bumped into Orion on my way out of the mansion."Well, if it isn't Aria's new toy." He muttered begrudgingly as if he hadn't seen me a few minutes ago. He had been embarrassed by Aria, who sent him out of the room she was resting in.Anyway, I chose to igno
"C– Chancellor Lauretta. Good morning, ma'am." Aria greeted, but her voice shook nervously.When Lauretta finally got to us, she simply acknowledged her greeting with a curt nod before she focused her gaze on me."Mister Blackthorn, I'd like to see you in my office for something important." She announced with a low tone. I looked into her eyes, noticing the seriousness in them. Whatever she had to say seemed really important.Hesitantly, I turned my gaze to Aria and kissed her on the cheek. "I'll see you later, okay? Then we can talk more about... 'that' later." I said with a reassuring smile.Aria simply nodded before I followed behind the Chancellor to her office. On our way there, several students gave way to the chancellor as they began murmuring to themselves concerning what was going on.“Is the new student in trouble already?”“Gosh, he seems to be a trouble magnet. Weren't Cassandra and that Aria girl fighting over him last week?”“No, I was there. He only came to hold back A
As I walked out of Lauretta's office and headed to the lecture buildings, I kept my senses on high alert for Nikolaus. This madness needed to end. I stepped outside into the sunlight which was beginning to increase in intensity. Even though my daylight necklace magically protected me from being incinerated by sunlight, the light itself was still bothersome.Anyway, while I still tried keeping an eye out for Nikolaus, I sensed something behind me, causing a chill to run down my spine. Speak of the devil…"Nikolaus," I muttered, turning to look at him. There he stood, a wide grin on his face as he waved at me."Hello, Sylvain." He continued following me even after I turned away from him and continued walking toward the lecture buildings. Unfortunately for me, the bastard continued with his rant. "So, what did you and the Chancellor discuss in there?"He casually pointed at the administrative building behind us, but I ignored him and kept on walking."Stop being an annoying prick and g
ARIA ****Sylvain Blackthorn had some serious guts, I'd give him that! I can't believe I confronted him in PUBLIC and then let him drive me home only to listen to him whine about another girl. Worst of all, now I had a better understanding of his beef with Sir Nikolaus. The dude was pure evil!And what the heck was Ravenna doing in his house? I'd always suspected their relationship but he'd assured me nothing was going on between them beyond the platonic. If that was the case, what secrets did he have to share with her that he had to resort to telepathy to do so? "If he wasn't so sneaky, maybe I wouldn't be so suspicious of him." I scoffed as I walked home. Yup... Sylvain had watched me storm out of his house in anger and did nothing. And now I had to walk back home and it looked like it was about to rain too. The clouds were dark and everyone on the road seemed to be in a hurry. Suddenly, my nightshade wolf spoke up with her usual soulless and melancholic voice in my head. "D
"This better be good, Ravenna," I grumbled, turning my gaze away from the door and heading to the kitchen.The sound of her stiletto heels clicking on the floor echoed around the room as she followed behind me. "Well, Sylvain. It depends on your definition of 'good'." She remarked, chuckling with a teasing tone.I paused, swerving my head to her, my expression blank. That was enough to tell her I wasn't in the mood for her antics, causing her to sigh. "Nikolaus got away. I lost track of him." She muttered with an embarrassed tone.Ravenna was known as one of the best vampire trackers in our coven. Back in London, when there was a rampant issue of vampires from Lord Darius's line turning people carelessly, she'd been of great help fishing them out. But unfortunately, Nikolaus's hiding skills far outmatched her tracking skills, not to mention he was more powerful than her. Anyway, I brought out a bottle of Bloody Mary from a cabinet and poured myself a glass. I gulped it all, breat
I stared at Aria in surprise at first before I asked hesitantly. "Why? Do you need something there, or...""Seriously, Sylvain?" She threw her hands in frustration. "For Christ's sake, you're my boyfriend! I haven't been to your place and barely know anything about you ever since we started dating."Dating? Was I sure I'd like to call what I had with her "dating"?“Never mind." She sighed. "I guess I'll–""Wait!" I called her back before she could step out of the car. She glanced at me, arching an eyebrow. "I'll take you to my place, then. But does your father know?"She blinked with what seemed like a surprised look at first before shrugging. "I'm an adult. I'm sure he'll be cool if I go somewhere else other than school and this boring house." I glanced hesitantly at the Alpha's mansion, which loomed like a mountain beside us. With a shrug, I started the ignition and drove to my house. Once we got there and stepped out of the car, I suddenly got a telepathic message from Ravenna.
I watched Maria's facial expression change from surprise to excitement within a couple of seconds as a warm smile spread on her face. "S– Sir Sylvain." She bowed slightly, still managing to keep her gaze on me. "It's so nice seeing you again." I smiled politely. "The feeling is mutual, Maria. I'm glad to see you're doing okay after that unsightly incident earlier today." Her smile widened, and she just stood there staring, neither moving nor speaking. However, she flinched when Ravenna cleared her throat. "Uh, our drinks please." She waved at Maria with a teasing tone, occasionally glancing at me as she leaned forward to grab the drinks. Now why was she giving me that look? Maria gave an awkward smile and dropped the drinks. She was about to walk away when Nikolaus suddenly called her back. "So, you're the niece Dorothy was talking about?" He asked with a curious gaze. I knew that look all too well. Nikolaus was shameless when it came to his pursuit of women. Every
FLASHBACK 1816, England.On a cold winter night, on the roads of England, Nikolaus, Ravenna, and I walked through the streets like we owned the place. In a way, we did. Vampire supremacy in this part of Europe was unlike any other part of the world. No other supernatural races dared challenge our authority and allowed us to do our business in peace.Not even the resident werewolf pack stood a chance.Anyway, the three of us stepped into a nearby tavern and immediately got welcomed by the stench of rum and the sweaty bodies of tens of men, all drinking and laughing like there was no tomorrow. With the drought going around the country and most of Europe, it was a surprise that these people could still be so merry."Bartender," Nikolaus walked straight to the counter where a female bartender stood. "Get us your finest cups of... The usual."The female bartender raised her head the second those words came out of Nikolaus's mouth. The 'usual' he was talking about was nothing other than
SYLVAIN ****As I walked toward my car on campus grounds, I kept getting bombarded with messages from Aria. I tried my best to ignore them, opening the car door and stepping in. However, before I could start the ignition, I raised my head and was shocked to see Aria sprinting toward the pickup zone."Sylvain! Sylvain, wait." Her voice was filled with desperation as she ran toward me, ignoring the curious stares she got from onlookers.I gritted my teeth, torn on what to do. As much as I wanted nothing more than to step out of this car and embrace Aria, this was for her own good.Not only was I getting too attached, but I was getting overly emotional. A vampire unable to control his emotions was a time bomb waiting to explode.Closing my eyes and diverting my gaze from Aria, I started the car and was about to drive off. Suddenly, I heard a bump on the car, forcing me to raise my head only to see Aria already standing in front of the car, using her hands to hold it from moving forwar
"Well? Don't keep me in suspense, what is it?" Elizabeth asked with furrowed brows, grabbing my arm and leading me toward our first lecture for the day. As we walked through the hallway, we got a few curious stares which I tried hard to ignore. Gosh, when would people learn to mind their business?Anyway, I let Elizabeth in on the plan. "Well, Sylvain is a vampire with super hearing, probably beyond the limits of even a werewolf. So, I was thinking, maybe we should talk about sketchy things like the Demon and see if he'd try listening in."Suddenly, Elizabeth paused in her steps, also forcing me to pause with her. She rubbed the bridge of her nose, an exasperated sigh escaping her lips. "That's it? That's your 'grand plan'?" She nearly hollered. I arched an eyebrow, genuinely confused about why she was tweaking. It was a simple plan and quite effective if you ask me.I mean, what business would Sylvain have spying on me and Elizabeth's conversation if he didn't have some hidden age
"Aria? Aria are you there?" Elizabeth hollered impatiently from the other end, groaning for dramatic effect.I opened my mouth, unsure of what to say as I touched my underwear again. Yup, I was right, that was my cum.This means... That dream was real! It was beyond anything I'd ever experienced, that's for sure, but I thought whatever I did wouldn't mean anything because it was a dream.Eventually, I got up from my bed and finally responded to Elizabeth. "Sorry, Liz, I have to go now. We'll talk in school, okay?" Elizabeth was about to say something on the other end, but I hung up and threw my phone on the bed before rushing to the bathroom. I needed to clean myself of Azazel's freakiness on my body. When I got to the bathroom and stood in front of the sink to rinse my face, I raised my head, staring into the mirror on the wall with sleepy eyes. However, I jolted in shock when a shadow appeared behind me in my reflection. "Who's there?" I swerved my head backward to get a look bu
I gripped Azazel's head as he continued sucking on my nipples. He used his tongue to trace circles around my nipples, causing me to get wet.My grip on his head tightened as the feeling reached a peak, making me feel like I was levitating. My eyes rolled back as I let myself get carried away.Suddenly, Azazel dropped me, forcing me to open my eyes again. Luckily, a bed materialized out of nowhere which I landed on. "Beg me to stop." Azazel teased with a smug grin.My lips curled into a grin as well as I whispered. "Now why the heck would I want to do that?" His grin only widened as he crawled toward me on the bed. When he got to me, he brought his fingers to my entrance, and without any warning, he began rubbing my clit. I gasped with each movement he made on my clitoris with his fingers. My wetness increased by the minute until I thought his fingers should be soaked with my essence by now.Several times, I felt like I was getting close to the edge, but each time, Azazel would brin
