My feet hit solid ground after the nauseating ride, but for the first time, I didn't stumble. Sam held me close, but quickly released his brother. We found ourselves in a vast field atop a hill. It was night, and a large, round moon hung in the sky. The grass beneath us was slightly damp, and the cool night air brushed against my skin. But it was the castle that caught my attention first. It bore a striking resemblance to Sam’s—well, mine too, I suppose. A black Gothic structure, with towering pillars even higher than those at the castle of Wrath. A permanent swirl of dark clouds loomed overhead, occasionally lit by flashes of lightning. The castle stood below us, making it easy to overlook the expansive kingdom that lay before it. “Wow.” Lucifer breathed, echoing my thoughts. “My friend.“ I flinched at the voice behind us, spinning around and instinctively grabbing Sam's arm. Lucifer did the same. But Sam remained relaxed, shrugging off Lucifer’s grip as he stepped forward. Th
“They know not to harm any of you,“ Rhazien said over his shoulder. “Still, the temptation will be there. We only have tainted humans here, none as pure as your wife.“ Sam pulled me even closer, half behind him, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings with caution. Lucifer took his place on the other side, causing Sam to relax slightly. “When is a human tainted?“ Sam asked with a frown. We passed another fountain, one I refused to look at, while the castle loomed nearer with every step. “When vampire venom, not from a mate, enters their system. It makes them docile. From that point onwards, the human is tainted. Still tasty, of course, but never like the first bite.“ Rhazien explained as we entered his castle. I glanced up at the high ceiling, and my ears perked up at the sound of faint music playing. “Your human… her blood is nearly irresistible. Never touched by a vampire but full of demon fire. She’s your blood whore, no?” Rhazien turned around and kept walking backwards with
"Pfff. Your friend didn’t stay away from me, you mean,” Lucifer smirked smugly. “You’re married!” I snapped back, my anger rising. We continued walking, our argument low but unmistakable. Rhazien kept his stride ahead of us, but he was clearly listening. I didn’t care. Sam sighed but chose to let us be, placing a cold hand on my lower back, offering silent support. “So?” Lucifer asked, genuinely puzzled. “So? So?” I shot back, my frustration bubbling over. “So, you're supposed to be with your wife at night!" He stared at me, still confused. I whipped my head at Sam. “No. I'd never do that, you know this. I would never cheat on you.“ Sam instantly said, holding up his hand in surrender. "That's because you actually love your wife," Lucifer commented, his eyes dark and telling. “I hate mine. I hate being near her, I hate my kingdom. I hate everything about my life.” Sam’s hand tensed against my back as Lucifer continued, his words filled with bitterness. “I hate everything abo
The dark ballroom got even darker when Rhazien clapped his hands, and the dangerous tension in the room rose considerably. “Do you think they’ll dance with me?” Lucifer asked, his eyes fixed on a group of vampires. “They would be honored, King of Envy,” Credence replied. “Many of us have never had the privilege of meeting a demon.” "Why is that?" I asked with interest, glancing at the human girls twirling around in beautiful dresses, their vampire partners looking down at them like they were a snack. They probably were. “We're not foolish enough to venture into the demon realm. That would be suicide,” Credence explained, tapping her glass with her long, blood-red nails. “Nor do we invite demons into our lands. Demons are too bloodthirsty. For your King, we made a exception." "We won't shed any blood here." I promised her, even though I couldn't see her. "Don't make promises that aren't yours to make, Queen of Wrath. Your husband has quite the reputation. We know the risks we’ve
Sam cleared his throat and turned to Rhazien. “We agree—on my wife’s condition. My brother gets to take a vampire of his choice home. I’ll supply you with at least a dozen humans every month, in exchange for a dozen vampires.” Rhazien glanced from Sam to me, then over to Lucifer, who was still dancing. After a moment, he sighed. “Deal.” “Perfect.” Sam said with a grin, extending his hand. They shook on it, both clearly satisfied. I looked ahead, noticing some women dancing sensually on the bar. Their bodies moved like snakes, swaying their hips seductively, the atmosphere dripping with allure. Sam and Rhazien clinked their glasses and downed their drinks in sync, slamming the empty glasses down with matching grins. I knew Sam was getting drunk when he suddenly pulled me onto his lap. I gasped, instinctively resisting, but his supernatural strength held me still. He pressed my hips against his and my back against his chest. His arms encircled me, and he placed another glass of w
I watched with interest as everyone around me became increasingly drunk. I kept my distance from the wine, not wanting to cloud my mind, and leaned comfortably against Sam. The vampires danced with the grace and allure of professional performers, putting on quite the spectacle. “I have some gifts for you, Rhazien.” Sam said, cutting through my distracted thoughts. “Gifts?” Rhazien’s eyes lit up with curiosity. “For your hospitality.” Sam reached to his side, producing a packet of cigarettes and a bottle of wine. Rhazien gasped, his excitement palpable. “Is that…?” Rhazien asked, his voice full of wonder. “Yes,” Sam smirked from behind me, “enjoy them.” “What are those?” I asked, eyeing the odd-smelling cigarettes. I recognized the wine as blood wine. “Blood cigarettes,” Sam replied. I froze at the words. “A delicacy for vampires. They can’t make them themselves. The process is intricate and involves working with a lot of blood,” he explained softly. Rhazien twirled the cigare

This ties the life forces of the two together, preventing the king and queen from fully dying when the bonded one is still alive.Gabrielle ended up killing the brother of Adrian, Levi. Le
"You look fucking hot." I turned my head to see an attractive guy, completely focused on me. "Thank you." I replied, my eyes casually scanning his figure. Maybe a bit too business-like for a club, but that added to his aura. "What are we drinking?" he asked, resting his elbow on the bar. I playfully narrowed my eyes at him. "I'm not telling you. You have to guess." I teased."One vodka soda." The bartender said as he put my drink in front of me.Irritated, I snapped my head at the bartender. "Dude! I said he had to guess!" I complained. The bartender shrugged, placing the card machine before me. A card appeared in front of me and tapped the machine, paying my drink for me. "It's on me, obviously." The guy said, suddenly standing a lot closer to me. "Not that you gave me a choice." I remarked, grabbing my drink and sipping it. Perfect and ice cold. "So, where did you come from? I've never seen you around here." He asked me after ordering a beer for himself. A beer? Who drank beer in
