I was slightly taken aback by Taylor’s question. I had always had a heartbeat. The human myths that my kind were a living dead were just that, myths. I considered my mate for a moment as I chose my words.
“What do you know of my kind?” I asked her.
“Not much really. Most of what I’ve learned came from the media.” She smiled sheepishly. “I know not all of it is true, but I always assumed that vampires had to die to turn.”
“Not exactly. Even the ones who were turned are still living.” I frowned. “We drain them just to the cusp and feed them our own blood, but even before we began turning others, we were alive. Without Apollo’s curse, we had been what you would call superhuman.&rdqu

The child was different then the rest of my kind. I noticed right away that she seemed compelled to follow any instructions I gave her, as if I held some form of control over her. We couldn’t send her back into the world without drawing unwanted attention, so I did the only thing I could think of, ordering her to stay. I spent the next year learning to control my progeny, teaching her the ways of my kind. Her thirst was stronger, wielding more control over her, than the rest of my kind. Even the blood of a fresh kill did nothing to sate her appetite. My hold on her remained ironclad, strengthening with each day, keeping her from running feral into the woods. I lived in constant fear that my hold on the girl would drop at anytime and she would run straight into the human world, slaughtering everyone in her path. She had been

Shoving her roughly inside my small hut, I shut the door behind me. Her head jerked wildly around, looking for an escape that couldn’t be found. Realizing the only way out was through me, the woman charged at me, her hands clawing at my skin as I wrapped her tightly in my arms. She shrieked, screaming nonsense as she struggled against my hold. “You are mine.” I jeered as she continued to struggle. She lifted her chin to meet my eyes, defiance burning in her own. She flinched as I moved one hand to brush the hair from her neck. Her screams were deafening as I bit her, my fangs breaking through her flesh in search of the vein in her neck. Every fiber of my being hoped that this would work, that Saveta wasn’t a result of the Goddess inte

Taylor “Wait, Enki and Apollo are the same being?” “All of the gods, even some of the goddesses are just other names Apollo has used over the millennia. There are only four celestial beings, Selene, Mab, Nyx, and Apollo as he has chosen to be called.” Rhazian responded. “What happens if your curse is lifted?” I asked. Rhazian’s story had made it seem that it was possible. “What becomes of you?” “I have tried over the years to have it lifted, going so far as to seek out witches that held no issue with my kind. I suppose that I would return to what I was before, what you would call a superhuman, but I’ve come to the

Tyler “Calm down darling. Destroying your office won’t accomplish anything.” Celeste cooed. She had found me breaking furniture in my office. Aro had called to inform me that he had delivered the girl to Rhazian and found wolves turned vamp. The missing towns and sudden silence from the pack I had been in contact with made sense now. The vamp had somehow turned them, something we were supposed to be immune to. Aro had informed me that I wasn’t bound by the contract they had signed with the self-proclaimed demi-god, his initial request that I stand down was simply so they could fulfil their side of the deal by delivering her. “You’re right, my love.” I sighed. “This doesn’t solve anything. I need to

Taylor Rhazian had insisted we stop so that I could tend to my needs and stretch my legs. We had been driving for hours without stop by the time he pulled into the deserted rest area. I wasn’t certain where we were going, but he seemed to be following an instinctual pull to the vampire he called daughter. I wondered what she would be like as I walked around the dimly lit path around the main building. He had told me she was turned at fourteen, being a made vampire had stopped her aging. She was nearly as ancient as my mate, though she was trapped in the body of a child. I made my way back to the car, satisfied that I had stretched my legs enough to continue our journey. As I drew closer, I saw Rhazian through the windshield, the driver seat laid back, his arm tossed casually over his eyes. I felt a twinge of guilt at

Rhazian Saveta showed Taylor and I to the suites that would be ours while we stayed in her home. I could tell that Taylor was bursting to ask me a million questions. The presence of human’s in the hidden away palace left her uneasy. I needed to rest and feed before I could comfort my mate. She had noticed how worn down the lack of blood had left me, but I continued to refuse to feed from her. She shared the blood of Apollo, and I had no way of knowing what that might do to me. Taylor started to speak and was interrupted by a light tapping on the door. A man dressed in just a loin cloth, appearing to be in his early thirties, entered the suite with a tray laden with delicacies, followed closely by my child. “I thought your

Tyler The mansion was empty. We had expected that when Aro delivered the girl, Rhazian would run. She may have tied the Fae’s hands with her contract, but Rhazian was smart, he knew we would come for him. My pack had a long history with the vamp, going all the way back to Cyrus, the first Alpha. The last of the warriors from the other packs had arrived in the late afternoon. Once we had a plan in place, we moved on the mansion where the first had been staying. The reports coming in made it clear the vampires he had created were on the move, but we still had hope we could pick up his trail. A small detachment headed towards each area vampire activity had been reported, while the most elite of the group joined my own warriors to search for clues in the mansion.&nbs

Miriam “I should have never allowed myself to be talked into that contract.” I seethed. “We need to find a way to break it, a loophole, something. These were-vamps are a threat and if Rhazian knows how to make them, there’s nothing to stop him making more.” “What else would you have done Miriam?” Aro pled. “She was going to kill us if we didn’t get her back to him safely. How were we supposed to know that type of monstrosity was possible?” “I don’t know, Aro. I really don’t, but I want Fredrick to start looking for a way out. Maybe the wolves can deal with these new beasts, maybe they can’t, either way, Rhazian can’t be allowed to continue his miserable existence

Osiris “What on earth are you doing all the way out here, Osiris?” Saveta called waddling toward me. One hand rested on her protruding belly as the other held the hand of my five-year-old nephew. She motioned for me to make room as she lowered herself onto the bench beside me. “You know how it goes. Mom and Dad can’t keep their hands off each other. I had to get away from that.” I replied, scrunching my face in comical disgust. “You know, you can still come stay with us if you want. Chuck would love to have you help out with his little experiments.” She chuckled. My sister had b

I crept to the front of the cottage, peeking through the curtain, Rhazian close behind. Just beyond the porch stood the coven that had taken me from Rhazian’s mountain cabin. I could feel the anger rolling off my mate. If he were still immortal, he would have been outside, ripping them to pieces before I could say a word. I sent up a silent prayer of thanks that his invincibility had disappeared with the removal of Apollo’s curse. I didn’t want my mother’s people dead unless there was no other choice. “What do we do?” Miriam whispered. “Fae magic doesn’t work on witches.” “I should go out and talk to them.” I replied, squaring my shoulders in determination.

Taylor It had taken a couple days for us to be able to access the place where we had ended my father. Each attempt until than had resulted in a sudden confusion and feeling of being pushed away that we couldn’t deny. When we were finally able to reach the place, it was startlingly familiar. The earth was scorched as the earth in my vision of Titan’s downfall had been. My guardians were nowhere to be found. Sadness tugged at my heart as I realized that I had called them forth to be destroyed. There was happy news, however. Saveta was mortal again and had begun to age at a human rate. When Apollo lifted the curse from my mate, it was lifted from everyone that remained. The wolves he had turned to hybrids, thankfully, held no memory of their time as were-vamps. They described the time as floating in darkness, until

RhazianMy eyes scanned the misty field. It had been a touchy couple of weeks, but it was finally time to end Apollo’s threat once and for all. Taylor and I had arrived at the fae palace the day after Saveta had shown up at my door with wolves. The moment we were situated in our suite, I began summoning my creations. I had felt the ties lock into place as each one fell back under my control. The wolves had taken every opportunity to threaten my life once the war was won. It was clear there was no love lost between us even though I was currently an ally. Taylor seemed to have her own issues with the Fae queen. I would catch her glaring daggers at the woman when she thought nobody was looking. “Are you ready for this?” She whispered, squeezing my hand in hers.

TylerI couldn’t hear anything over the ringing in my ears. The moment the hybrid beast had begun twisting the cell bars, Chuck had fired several shots into her torso. She had shot him a deadly glare as she clutched her chest and collapsed to the ground. While her skin didn’t seem to react to the silver while in human form, the small tendrils of smoke coming from the bullet holes seemed to indicate there was an internal reaction. “Well, that was intense.” Chuck laughed as my hearing started returning to normal. “How the fuck did she do that?” “No idea. Maybe being in human form they’re more vamp than wolf?” Chuck shrugged. “She’s down for the moment though. Doesn’t look like the vamp sid

Rhazian Taylor looked terrified as I thrust her behind me. Saveta was the only person who knew where I was hiding out and she wouldn’t have knocked. I groaned inwardly at having chose a place with a front door situated in the living room as it shuddered under another thundering knock. “I don’t think they’re going away.” She hissed behind me. “If they keep pounding like that, the door is going to give. Better to answer it.” Nodding, I gestured for her to step into the hall. If our visitor were a threat, at least my mate would be out of sight and have a head start. I straightened my self to my full height as she followed my unspoken direction. One last glance to ensure my mate was hidden away and I strode to the door, pulling

I landed against something soft, the space around me filled with darkness. Moving to get my bearings, I realized I was in a bed, the comforter tangling around me as I moved. Even more startling than finding myself in a dark room, in a strange bed, was that I wasn’t alone. My eyes adjusting to the dark, revealed a man slumbering next to me, his breathing peaceful and easy. I scrambled from the bed, landing on the floor with a thud as the blankets captured my legs. “Who’s there!” The man demanded, bolting upright. “Oh, thank goddess, Taylor!” He moved too fast for me to see, pulling me tightly to his chest. He seemed to be familiar with me, but I wasn’t even sure who I was at the moment. I pressed my h

I was lost. Once I had gotten out of long shadow of the dark mansion, everything in the celestial plane began to look the same. I had tried to use a guidance spell, but my magic didn’t seem to work here. The only option I had was tapping into my demi abilities which would draw my father directly to me. Scowling up at the open sky, I screamed my frustration at the two suns and moons that hung above my head. “This is ridiculous!” I wailed to myself. “I can’t even navigate by human means.” My stomach growled angrily as I became more and more lost. I was so hungry that the leaves on the trees began to look appetizing. I knew I would be useless if I didn’t find food soon, chastising mysel

Taylor I whirled around in a fright to face the owner of the hand that had landed on my shoulder. My breath whooshed from me as I found myself face to face with my golem. “You scared the daylights out of me!” I scolded; one hand pressed against my chest in a futile effort to slow my pounding heart. He slipped past me, not sparing me a second look as he made his way toward the book that had drawn my attention. He stopped just before it, his head cocked to the side, listening to something I couldn’t hear. “We should go.” He whispered. “No, I need to know what’s in th
