There will be a 10 year time jump coming up after a few more chapters. This way we can see how things have changed with the Precoza coven reigning again. There will also be the same time jump in 'Fated Power - Fated Destiny' to show how the Supernatural Council and the academies that they were planning to set up have changed things.
IMEELAIt was amazing that he had been able to pick up the mental links between Bane and the others. I had never heard of anyone being able to do that before. The most likely cause was due to Hecate’s blessing of identifying threats.He threw the daggers with such precision that his increased strength did some serious damage.The curved dagger glinted in the light, making the nameless asshole pale completely.I was glad that he caught the lie because I did not know about the Pramble coven. Zeus told me that it had been Kade who destroyed him with the use of his handy shadows during their first feeding room infiltration.Why was he hiding his identity so much? Was it because he was a corrupt piece of shit? Perhaps his coven leaders were the same way as well. There was no telling.The blade only had to make one slice before he caved.“Sylvester Claymore of the Crimson Moon coven,” he said through gritted teeth.My eyes narrowed, hearing the coven’s name. I had come across this coven’s sc
IMEELA I prayed that we got there in time before anything happened to them, and I prayed that they were still at the cave. There was no telling what all Bane or his lackeys had put them through. He was a sadistic sonofabitch after all. Venus and Roman accompanied Raul, Jackson, me, Santiago, Valeria, and Carmen to the cave. Thankfully, Raul knew where to go. I knew the grounds of our Palace and estate, but I did not venture out beyond that when I was a child. Jackson threw his cloak around us when we were about a mile out. It would keep us hidden, but we still needed to tread carefully because it did not hide the sounds of our presences. Off topic, this area was gorgeous. Thick woods surrounded us with a collection of beautiful trees. Their leaves were a variety of colors, adorning both the trees as well as the ground. Birds chirped high up in the trees while the sun streamed through the treetops. Chatter from up ahead caught our attention. Our steps slowed so that we could creep
IMEELA “There are other vampires there, but you will be safe. Our coven consumes donated blood or those who are willing and free of coercion. We don’t tolerate abuse of any kind. We also have a few other humans who live there and a few other supernatural species,” I explained. Curiosity took the place of the wariness in her eyes. I looked around and saw that the others also seemed curious. The toddler slowly waddled her way over to me and lifted her arms up. Who was I to resist such a cutie? She settled on my hip and smiled at me. God, she was so adorable. Curly black hair, light blue eyes, and the prettiest ivory skin tone. She looked like a little angel. “We don’t know her name, but we’ve been calling her Joy,” one of the females said, smiling softly at her. “Joy is a beautiful name for a beautiful girl,” I said, kissing her forehead. Jackson did warn them that the two guards were apprehended outside and could not harm anyone. They were a little apprehensive but still followed
JACKSONWe had prepared everything as much as possible for our dignitary visits.Since they would be traveling, we had ensured that there would be rooms prepared for them. Thankfully, the rooms for them were in the visitor’s wing, which was away from our humans and Fae friends.Not everyone who would be coming held the same ideals as us. This caused a precarious balance that we needed to handle. It needed to be done firmly, however we would not know how to properly balance that situation until it occurred.There were bound to be people determined to challenge our positions for different reasons.The biggest one was that many did not want the Precoza reign to be reinstated because that put them on a leash. Those who broke any of the laws that would be outlined within these visits would end up being punished.Secondly, they would see me not being a vampire as a slap in the species’ face or some shit like that. Not only would it be the very first time that the Vampire King was not a vampi
JACKSON I could not agree more. Something that I had noticed from the moment that she decided to reclaim her birthright was that this right here, this precarious game of balancing politics, was her domain. She would be the ultimate winner. If I did not know any better, I would say that it was her gift. Perhaps it was. Imeela was most certainly a motherfucking Queen because she welcomed the challenge, thriving within it because she knew how to wield her words as weapons to disarm, to stun, or even to strike. Her response had him grinding his molars. However, it had the Duchess giving my girl a quick smile of approval. Perhaps she did not hold all of the same ideals as he did. Imeela would end up discerning that during their visit. He then turned his attention to me, thinking that I would be an easy target. Well, bring it on then. “What makes you believe that you can rule over a species that is not your own?” he asked me. This was a question that I had been prepared to answer, know
IMEELA (Ten Years Later) “Here you go, sweetheart,” I told my son, handing him the sippy cup, and situating him on my hip. Cyrus was just over a year old now. He was the spitting image of his father when it came to his brown hair, emerald eyes, and facial features. However, his skin tone took after me. He was already proving to be a sweetheart like his father though. He scrunched up his little nose as he flashed me one of those smiles that always made my heart swell with love. It was the smile that our other two children had perfected as well. “Sissy is with Daddy, so let’s go find your brother.” His little head bobbed as if in total agreement with the plan. It would be interesting to watch him grow up because he seemed to be following in his siblings’ footsteps. Both of them had developed beyond their ages. You would swear that they were older than they actually were. Vampire children often advanced quickly. It had always been believed to be that way as a survival instinct that
JACKSONSo much change occurred over the years. It was the difference between night and day in some respects.It was not easy for Imeela and I to make the changes that needed to occur. However, we were both really fucking stubborn, refusing to give up. One of the biggest deterrents that we had in place was the prison that nobody wanted to be thrown into. It made them consider whether or not it was really worth the risk because proved that we would do everything in our power to seek out those breaking the laws that were clearly set in place.We were able to reinstate the Royal Guard, those whose job it was to ensure that the laws were being followed. It was their duty to verify if accusations were truth and apprehend them if that was the case.We built additional housing on the estate for those in the coven who would prefer living outside of the palace but still within the safety of our borders. So, our coven boomed to over six hundred with all of the children added into it.For those w
IMEELA Being rulers was not all that it was cracked up to be. Many people thought that the title of King or Queen would be cool to have, but they had probably never considered all that it entailed. Our roles required us to transverse the precarious minefield of politics. It required balancing cause and effect, what our people needed versus what they wanted, and the short-term impact versus long-term impact of everything. We had a rough time in the beginning because we had to establish ourselves and fight against the assholes who shared Andrei’s ideals. However, we never let that phase us. There was still a long way to go, but I felt that we were doing a decent job. The King and Queen were the figureheads and faces of the Precoza coven. However, we had a very collaborative team that made everything possible. Jackson and I headed to our office outside of the courtroom. Today would be a long ass day because it was one of the scheduled court days. There would be cases presented that ne
