Immortality:The ability to live forever; eternal life. Nero Tessa had been staying with me for almost a week now and she told me that she had been seeing Rigel snooping around the building a couple of times. Though he didn't confront her again but still, she was annoyed by the fact that the man was messing with her view. Her view. Yep. That's the kind of stuff that I'd hear her say sometimes. Random stuff that she'd say because it was not to her liking or she was uncomfortable with a certain situation, like me, sneaking out just before dawn to leave her to sleep alone. The thought that she'd want to sleep beside me and watch me basically lay dead until my body could function when the sunset was tickling my insides. I know she has a fascination with death and sometimes I think her being with me as a vampire, was feeding her cravings whenever I found her watching me with interest. Not just because she was fond of me, but because she was intrigued with my state of immortality. "Aldri
Intruder: A person who intrudes, especially into a building with criminal intent. Tessa "So, why do you keep your guest bound?" Nero finally took our attention back to the man who was zipped-tied and bleeding in front of me. "Oh, him...yeah, this guy kept on watching me. I don't think he's a pervert, so I need to know why but the man is not speaking, and honestly, I was about to cut off his digits when you came in." I smiled sweetly and showed him my trustee cutter, which made the man let out a pathetic squeak and looked at me in horror. "Oh, great, now you're scared." I shook my head and mentally blame myself for wasting time and not going ahead with the finger-cutting instead of verbally insisting on him to tell me who he was and who sent him. I was off my game, I'd been too spoiled staying and laying low in Nero's apartment. "Tell me, who sent you," my voice was icy calm, the man trembled and tried to take his hand away from my grip. "What's your name? Look, I know you don't wa
Needy: Needing a lot of attention, affection, or emotional support. Nero I was not happy when I saw Tessa getting her hand dirty when she handled Rigel's man. Ammar reported that he had specifically told Aldrich how to hand deliver the not-so-sneaky hunter. Tessa was fast asleep two orgasms later when I decided to leave her to discuss the matter further with Aldrich and Ammar back at the den. I wanted to make sure that no more hunters are going to litter my building. "She can handle herself perfectly fine, father. And you don't have to be here tonight, though it's been a while since I've seen you this upset about your companion." Ammar pointed out when I was clearly upset with what happened. "I know she can, but that's not the point. Hunters are not supposed to breach our territory without plausible cause," "Right, about that, Aldrich heard some interesting information about Tessa. I know you told me that she's an assassin, and it seemed that when she was on one of her jobs, she
Savior: A person who saves someone or something from danger.TessaA week after my run-in with the man who was called the hunter, my inside craves a little action. It was almost nine in the evening and I was still waiting for Nero. I was still getting nowhere with my wall of suspects, and I'd been spending the day lounging, watching Netflix to cross off a number from my bucket list.Binge on sappy romance movies on Netflix was my Bucket list number seven, yeah I figured I need to clean my palate since my Netflix recommendations were mostly murder documentaries and gory films. There were a couple of numbers that had been crossed throughout the week. Such as, going to the zoo where I enjoyed watching lion feeding time. I also went to the mall to shop all day buying colorful clothes though I don't know where I'd wear them so I stick to blue, red, green, and purple. All in a different shade of their darker tone, obviously.I was hoping to go clubbing with Nero tonight, he can choose which
Younglings is one that is young; especially : a young person or animal. Nero The problem started to pile up just as I was about to go back to my apartment and spent the rest of the evening with Tessa. Ammar was supposed to be on it, but then he lost track of Rigel. And then a small group of hunters managed to behead two of our younglings just because they party too hard and killed all the people in the party bus. Their sire called it a misunderstanding, a containable mistake he said. A bus of people, all dead. It was easy enough to say that the bus was en route to crashville, a perfect escape to get the vampire younglings out of the mess. Until the hunters were on to them. God, I'm too old for this mess. It took me two more hours to watch as Ammar took charge of the situation and calmed the younglings' sire and hold him off. It happened under my territory and the young sire was living in the area, a couple of blocks from my den. Ammar had managed to convince the hot-headed sire no
Sex clubs are venues that are open to the public, have a reserved entry specifically for members, or are invitation-only. Nero "So the sex club we're going to is out of the city?" "Just about, it's currently run by my youngest, Constantine." "Right, by youngest you mean?..." I laughed and told her that for a hundred-year-old vampire, he's considered young. "Okay, thanks for making me feel like a fetus." She pouted-snuggled, resting her back on my chest as if she had been doing it many times before. "Tell me, do all your children inherit sex clubs from their daddy?" She teased and I couldn't help but laugh, not caring that Aldrich was looking at me from the rearview mirror. Ammar had told me that Aldrich said that I was happier lately. And I knew the tattletale was going to rat me out to Con the second he was in front of my dear son. Aldrich always had a weakness for my Constantine. Aside from helping me practically train him since Constantine was a youngling, I could see the bon
Killer: someone who kills another person; one that has a forceful, violent, or striking impact Tessa I was spent, I'd never been so tired in my life before when I let Nero lead me to the back of the club, where there was a huge kitchen where the human chef was preparing food for the guests. Huh, didn't know people eat in this kind of establishment. One would think they were too busy basking in their kinks. "Father?" A beautiful young woman looked at me from head to boots, she didn't even miss my glittery clutch. Damn, this boyfriend of mine surely has pretty children. "Layla, it's been too long my dear," Nero let go of my hand and greeted his daughter with a fatherly hug. "Yeah, Connie called and told me you're in his club. Fortunately, I was near the area so I decided to visit." I was keeping myself clear while I observed the dynamic between the father and daughter. Though my body had other thoughts when my stomach rumbled, letting everyone know that I needed sustenance to calm
Information: facts provided or learned about something or someone. Nero "...and then she straddled the guy, getting her knives from her boots. Seriously, who hides their concrete penetrating knives in their boots and brings them into a sex club?" Con was busy retelling Vesper and Ammar about the night when Layla found Rigel lingering around the club, thinking he was working with Tessa. Layla sat in silence, busy watching her siblings while they were listening to Con's words with interest. My mind wanders to Tessa, after two nights ago all I can think about was her drive to kill the second she knew that Rigel hurt me. I haven't had any of my companions as lively in bed and at the same time as murderous as Tessa when she found out that Rigel had wounded me. "I can see why you like her, she's different, looked innocently human, yet fierce and a bit scary for her kind. It's adorable. I'm glad that you're happy, father." Layla admitted when she moved to my side, we talked about how I me
