Catalina’s POV"I'm not…." I cried all the time in front of him. He told me in a loud voice, "Yes, you are! This is who I am!" "I'm sorry," I said, as tears slowly rolled down my face. "I can't believe you killed them for me...." "Catalina, you need to stop resisting this life and start living it. This is your choice!” Thaddeus said as he left me outside."T-Thaddeus wait…." Then, after a short time, he had already cleaned up the mess inside and burned the bodies. I just can't face him right now. I witnessed him slay those vampires; the dark blood on the floor made me want to throw up. I slowed down and took deep breaths while I thought about him. As I came across him in the kitchen drinking his daily sustenance, which consisted of the blood of an animal, I held my breath and bowed my head as I headed upstairs while being terrified of him. The next second, he suddenly stood in front of me and asked, "Do you want to eat something?" I slightly shook my head and gasped. "No, I'm n
Catalina’s POV"You invited her? for what?" Arthur asked with irritation, and I wanted to laugh out loud because I had just destroyed their party. Jessica glared at her son, "Don't raise your voice at me, Arthur. Get inside, and we can talk about it!" Then Jessica glanced at me, her expression smoothened. "Oh dear, I will just leave you here, okay?" Thaddeus, hold my hand while we find a seat for us, I murmured with a smile. "I just messed up their evening." "Catalina, they are all angry at you. Be careful." Thaddeus said. The waiter came over and brought us each a glass of wine. I grinned at him since it was Peter, who had worked for our family for many years. "I was worried that something bad had happened to you, Miss Catalina." "Peter, nothing unpleasant ever happened to me." I gave him a kind smile and then tapped his shoulder.He asked, "Do you still want to run your dad's company?" I nodded and said, "Well, I was going to sell it." He looked shocked, and his eyes got bigg
Catalina’s POV"No," he responded in a calm voice, and he sped up the car. I swallowed uneasily since I had promised Thaddeus's clan that no one would find out who he was, and I had even brought him into my world. There’s no going back now. I peek at him and stare at him for a long time. He has soft, red lips that part as he softly breathes. as he noticed that I was looking at him, he turned his head toward me, and I could see that his eyes were looking at my lips.I slowly blinked and turned my head away. I need to stop my heart from beating so fast for him. What would happen if he thought that his abrupt look scared me? “I don’t want to startle you, or scare you. But why are you still scared of me?” he asked. "H-huh? uhm….” I took a deep breath. "Because the way you look at me makes me feel scared.... I'm afraid of what you might think of me." "Catalina...." he whispered. “I’m not thinking about something nasty about you….” I bit my lower lip, “No, it’s not like that. Fine, wh
Catalina’s POVI got up from bed when I heard Thaddeus' footsteps approaching from the outside. I opened the door and found him standing in front of the door. It's already well past two in the morning when I check the time on the wristwatch."Where have you been? You are not sleeping in the same bed with me." I complain about it as if we were deeply committed to one another in a committed relationship."Why do you care? I can take care of myself." He said as he walked past me. I turned around with a frown and went back to my bedroom. I was confused as to the cause of his abrupt change in demeanor. I curled up in bed and closed my eyes until I fell asleep.The next morning,I didn't see him, and I believe that after what occurred to us the night before, he continued to ignore me. I now know that he has continued to ignore me because he views me as a temptation he must avoid. Then I don't understand why in the heck he decided to marry me in the first place. I saw two maids were here e
Catalina’s POV Connor watched how I acted, so I tried to seem normal and smiled at him. But he still thinks something is wrong with me. So he inquired, "What's the matter? You okay?" "Nothing," Then, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw three black SUV-style luxury vans pull up to the Villa. The guard unlocked the gate, and Jessica and Leila ceased fighting with each other. Arthur came onto the terrace and stared at the attractive man who had just exited the SUV. I want Arthur to feel bad about himself that I chose a man who is better than him. I want Leila to think that what she has now is nothing compared to what I have. I gave Thaddeus a covert smile as he walked near me, and he kissed my cheek and mumbled something. "Did I just tell you that if you make something, you have to tell me about it?" I whispered back. "You didn't tell me where you were last night," His face clouded, and Connor walked slowly behind me, staring at Thaddeus. Thaddeus was still wearing dark sung
Catalina’s POVSitting next to him, I could feel his hypnotizing stare. His gaze went to the ring on my index finger. Then he sniffed deeply and asked, "Did he give you that?" I smiled and nodded my head, saying, "Yes, it's the rarest red diamond...." "I know," he said, nodding his head. He didn't say anything more the whole way back to the mansion. As we arrived at the mansion, we were at the entrance. He pulled me closer to him and said, “They’re here.” I looked at him with confusion. “Who’s here?” "The Council of Vampires." He whispered, and a surge of dark air made the large gate outside close. Then, all of the mansion's servants returned to their rooms and locked the doors. A man with dark hair and dark eyes that turned crimson as he walked toward me made me gasp, and I grasped Thaddeus' hand out of panic. Then, the three of them started walking like they were walking on air. As they got closer to us, they halted, and the chilly air stopped blowing around. “Well, well, wel
Catalina’s POVThaddeus became such an important person in my life, I don’t want something to happen to him, and I guess it will shatter me into pieces if he’s not with me. I rolled over on the bed and kept thinking about him since I couldn’t sleep. I can think of as much as I want, but he can’t even read what’s in my mind. I got up, walked into his room, and cautiously opened the door. I just wanted to take a quick look at him in case he stepped outside again without informing me. The door suddenly shut, which surprised me. I gulped and took a step back to try to unlock it, but I couldn't. Then someone grabbed me around the waist, and I gasped and stuttered. "I….I—I d—didn't—" "Catalina, what are you doing here?" My brain went completely blank, and I had no idea how to respond to what he said. When it was dark, red lightning appeared in his eyes, gradually subsiding, leaving his eyes their usual color. "I'm not sure what it is that you want...Tell me, what it is that you desire?
Catalina’s POV “Just dropped me in my Dad’s building,” I told the driver, and he nodded his head. As I was about to step out, the driver said, “Does Mr. Gualtiero know you’re—” I raised my index finger and said, “Sssshhh, no, don’t tell him about this. This is my plan.” As I entered the building, everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at me at what am I doing in Sullivan’s Empire. Do they know that I’m the heiress? Maybe not. Maybe Lily tried to tell them the lie. “Miss Catalina?” The guard stopped me in the middle of the hallway, and I glanced at him. “Yes?” “Miss Catalina, you are banned from stepping foot in this building,” he said with a nervous face. I put my hands on my hips and asked, “Why?” "Catalina, why in the hell are you even here?!," the woman, who appeared to be in her fifties and had been wearing sunglasses, demanded in a stern voice. "I'm here because I'm my father's daughter," I scoffed while adjusting my long sleeves. "Don't you remember?
THIRD POV Tonight will be the night of coronation because it's already a full moon and the night will be full of celebrations. Catalina looking at the full moon while holding her baby is the best feeling. she kissed her baby’s forehead and said, “You will have your coronation tonight as the heir of the Vampire King, do you know why everyone is here? It's because they love you and they respect your father. I am sure in the future you will be like him, you will be the next Vampire king too…you will be the only heir in the family.” She said and hugged her baby while waiting for Thaddeus to come out on the stage. Catalina looked around and she sees different personalities and she can't believe all of these people were Vampires too. Leila and Salvatore arrived to witness the grand night Leila is already pregnant too, and Salvatore bit her to be one of them, and her sister now is a pure vampire. “Hi, baby, let me take your baby, please…ah he is so cute, I want him,” Leila said and carri
A few months later, Catalina’s POVOur lives have been full of ups and downs for some time now, and because of our complex thinking, we are unsure of how certain we are or how we will manage the situation when it arises. I'm sitting next to him in our bed, giving his lips a passionate kiss to rouse him from his slumber so we can eat breakfast which was delicious fresh blood from animals that we hunted last night. He groaned as he wrapped his hands around my waist and pulled me in for a kiss."I love you..."“I love you too…” And my tummy isn't very noticeable yet; I'm not sure why; perhaps it's because I don't have a massive baby bulge like the other woman. In addition, I am one month and two weeks pregnant. Before I know it, I'll be holding a baby who is wailing with excitement (soon).He passionately kissed me and is now on top of me; I shower early in the morning, so he is eager to make love to me; I am preparing to provide him with my most complete and passionate love.Because
Catalina’s POV"Behold, the bride has arrived!" The minister continued, and all eyes turned to the bride as she made her way down the aisle. She looks so attractive and sexy, and her svelte figure perfectly matches her stunning wedding dress. It was a moment of pure delight when she smiled at me, and I know how appreciative she is that Thaddeus and I were a part of her wedding day. While we gazed at one another adoringly and Thaddeus gently stroked my palm, he communicated with me through a mind link, saying, "I love you..." In return, I gave him a grin and asked, "Do you know why I love you so much?" "Why?""Because you never stop showing me how much love you have for me." When Leila and Salvatore kissed in front of the three biggest groups of vampires, they proved that our hearts, not our heads, decide who we fall in love with. Like the love between Thaddeus and me, this is undeniable. All my waiting for him paid off since he finally came home for me, and he never tires of chasi
Catalina’s POV"Yes, Thaddeus is here to put an end to these two scumbags." I smiled proudly as I said it. "No, you can't kill my brother!" said Connor. "He's no longer your brother, and he's no longer Arthur! Connor, open your eyes!" I said as I yelled at him. He put his hand over her ear and said, "No, I won't listen to you. I will do anything to protect my brother." “Connor what the fuck are you doing?!” I saw him trying to help his brother get up, but Arthur bit his neck and stretched his face with his claws. I sighed as I saw him with deep regret in his eyes when he glanced at me. He grabbed Arthur’s head and pushed it against the wall while trying to put the injection on Arthur’s body but it had no effect. I have no choice but to kill Arthur in front of Connor, so that he could wake up in reality that Arthur was already dead, and the man in front of him was not Arthur. It was a Hybrid Zombie who wants to cause chaos with everyone. Connor yelled at me, and cried hysterical
Connor’s POV“That’s not what I mean Connor, what I want to say is that you need to open your eyes that Thaddeus is not the enemy here, and all the guards that you killed are good vampires, why do you kill them? Connor, please believe in me, there’s still good vampires out there….” I sighed in frustration, “Oh, I’m a good vampire….one of their kind bit me, and turned me into this!” I pointed to myself, and my eyes darkened red. Leila didn’t even move away when she saw me like this, she cupped my face and said. “You are not a monster, Connor. You’re good, you haven’t changed at all.” I laughed softly and said. “I have never wanted this in my life, and they turned me into one of them, that's why I hated them….I want them to vanish in this world!” I stood up and was about to leave her but she was just still sitting there watching me, and observing my behavior. “Is Salvatore saying all these things to you?” She didn’t answer me, and she took her purse because I think she’s done with
Connor’s POV"Hey, I need to get out of this place! I'm sick and tired of waiting for my life to end; why can't you just put an end to it and stop causing me to suffer each and every day? I want to die!" Theodore grumbled to himself while locked up in his sweltering cell. He appeared to be a monster as I gazed at him from head to toe; his eyes were melting, and his skin was turning gray; he looked like a monster now, the kind of monster that no one would ever want to see in their life. He looked so fucking awful that I couldn't look away from him. I laugh in satisfaction, “Well, look at you. You are so dead now, but not totally dead yet. You deserve to be tortured in this way, so that you will know how painful it is about dying!” “My son took your mom, do you think my son has tortured your mom this way?” I had not considered that possibility, but if Thaddeus were responsible for what happened to my mother, I would see to it that his father meets an unthinkable end. Thaddeus acquir
Catalina’s POV"If I really wanted to murder you...I would have done it already right now. But not yet, not too soon. Just wait for it." I responded while rolling my eyes and taking Leila with me as we exited the room that was filled with their terror due to the presence of the two older women within. I sat down in the secluded area, took a few deep breaths, and asked myself, "Why is it that I no longer feel any guilt? and I'm—" I can detect the odor of blood; someone has cut themselves out there, perhaps because they are running for miles. I could picture him wetting a dry cloth and applying it to the minor cut on his knees to staunch blood flow. I have my eyes closed and am concentrating on the smell. I need some of that blood. Damn it. When Leila called my name and yelled at me, I didn't even bother to look at her; I just continued running. "Catalina! Where do you intend to go?! Catalina!" I didn't want to hear her voice, and I didn't want to stop running; I needed to find the m
Catalina’s POVBecause I know Leila is lying to me, she does not want to look into my eyes when we are conversing. She knows something about Emily that she will not disclose to me at this time. I gave her a friendly smile and reassuring words, "There is no longer any need for you to be concerned about Emily. You've matured, and now, if she is sent to prison to pay for everything she's done to our family, everything that our father has left to you will be yours. You will one day receive what you have worked so hard for, which is a life that is rich with fulfillment."She cast a quick peek across to Salvatore, who was still having a conversation with Thaddeus. After that, she turned her attention back to me. "Do you want to see Emily and Jessica?" My curious eyes lit up, and I asked, "Where are they? Are you able to show me the way?"She held my hand and said. "Yes, Of course. Come with me." Leila and I walked inside, to the hallway, and I tried to act as human even though I wanted t
Thaddeus’ POVWhile waiting for the outcome, I was already not fine; I was anxious all the time while Salvatore and Leila were gazing at me all the time. They were also not sure what would happen in the following few hours. They both glanced at me with anxious eyes and sat next to me to make me feel better. But I am not even okay. My mind was full of thoughts right now that I didn’t even wonder if it's good to think about it. “Hey, Thaddeus. It’s going to be fine, just don’t pressure yourself because you look like you are going to explode in worry.” Salvatore said. I cocked my head to the side to cast a sidelong glance in his direction and said, "You don't know anything about being worried, Damn. I have a lot of concerns regarding her; in your opinion, do you believe she will be okay? I am aware that my heart has stopped beating, but for some reason it felt as if it was going to burst out of my chest because I was so terrified that I was going to lose her at any moment in time."Sa
