2024-12-22 07:48:15I used Absinthe’s shortened name. A name which only those close to him, were privy to use. Well, this complicated things, especially if Korin decided he was right in his assumption there was more than a professional capacity between me and his cousin.
“Yes… I did.”
Korin’s voice was quiet, as he stared at me, before his gaze lowered to my chest. His eyebrow raised in question and a feral lust took over his features again, as his mind seemed to dwell on the idea, I might have been more than just an asset to Absinthe. I had to cut off his thoughts and bring them back to the problem at hand.
His Mated were being killed.
I cleared my throat, and Korin’s gaze lifted back to mine again. “So, I am here to help you in any way possible and then I am to leave you and return to Lord Absinthe.”
“I am sure you could help in more than one way Miss Brennan…” Korin whispered and Tony grow

Three hours I’ve been waiting.Gregory had been kind enough to send up some room service. Two bags of blood, bought in by a cute little vampire maid, who at any other time, I would have bent over the back of the sofa to show my appreciation… But I hadn’t. I’d been the good little whipped puppy and kept my hands to myself and she had left with a dour look on her petite features.I had paced, back and forth in front of the bank of windows, looking over the twinkling lights, staring down at the street below and the mass of humans who walked along, oblivious to the undead creatures who either walked by their sides, or stalked them into the shadows.Then, after I’d seen more than a few happily just married couples come bouncing out into the street, after just tying the knot, I had taken to standing in the middle of the room and staring at the door.I knew it wouldn’t make her come back any faster, but after three h

The phone clicked and I grinned at the confusion which flittered across her beautiful features. Usually, it was Marlene hanging up on either me or Absinthe. It was nice to see her getting a little bit of her own medicine back for once.She turned and glared at me. “What are you smiling at?”“You…”“Really?”“Yes.” I picked myself up off the bed and sauntered over to her. My hand came out and I was expecting her to maybe take it and fold herself neatly into my arms, so I could hug her… but she didn’t, instead, placing the phone on my palm. I glared down at it, before tossing it behind me. It must have bounced on the bed, because the next sound I heard was it thudding to the floor. I stepped closer, my hand coming up to caress the side of her face. “I like the thought Abe just cut you down to size and you—”Marley reached up, slapping away my hand, before she launch

Rhayden sat in the front of the car with Tony, as Maddison and I walked over to the warehouse, seeing the still charred side of the building. “Are you okay Marley?”I looked at Maddison, smiling. “I am fine Maddi. Tired. I’m still on human time.”“That’s one thing I don’t miss.”“What’s that?”“Being tired.” She said smiling and I giggled. We stood for a moment, before I turned to her.

I hadn’t set foot in my cousin’s mansion in close to three years, and I remembered why, as we drove through the gates. Where our home was warm and inviting looking, keeping with the original house our father had built for Absinthe and I, Korin’s was clinical.The sweeping grounds were bare of any kind of shrubbery, or plant. Just an expanse of manicured lawns and gravel. The front of the mansion, while gothic in style, didn’t have the elegance ours did. I could see the plastic and concrete from a mile away.Pulling up to the front stairs, I turned in my seat and looked back to the pair of women in the back seat.Maddison, Tony’s pretty fledgling, had taken to sitting quite close to Marley, and although I was grateful for the woman’s protection of our human hunter, I worried if she could keep her calm around the scent of fresh blood, because I couldn’t. Not when it came to Mars… all I wanted to do was to s

We walked into the huge conference room, and Marley sat in a chair, offered by my cousin. While Korin walked to the other side of the room, to another, larger chair, I helped Mars with hers, before taking up position, just to the side and back of her.As Korin sat, his eyebrow rose. Yeah, he’d be wondering why I was standing behind a human. He licked his lips, “Please cousin, sit.”“I’m fine from here.” I replied, my hands going behind my back and I took up th

Sitting in the comfort of the car on the way back from the motel, Rhayden turned to me from the front seat and raised an eyebrow, “So are you going to tell me why you stirred up someone like Korin?”I smiled, feeling like a queen with what had happened, and I looked at Maddison by my side, who smiled and nodded. Turning my attention back to Rhayden, I lifted my chin, and answered him. “While I was stirring up Korin, Maddi was hacking into his databases.”Rhayden looked from me, to the female vamp by my side and back, his eyebrows furrowing together, an incredulous look coming over his features. “What?”Maddison nodded, “Marley thinks there is something connecting Lord Korin and the Mated killings, to Vince. And she wanted me to snoop into his files.”I watched as Rhayden looked at Tony, his eyes wide. “Did you know they were planning this?Tony looked at him, pursing his lips. “Yes sir.”Thinking he would approve of my actions, I sat there, like the cat who ate the canary…Boy was I w

It had been one thing I had tried not to do in front of these practically immortal beings—show my human side, especially crying. But there, on the edge of the desert in Vegas, I stood in the arms of a vampire; hundreds of years old; and cried… like the weak human woman I was.“Mars… I’m sorry.” Rhayden held me to him, his hand smoothing over my back, as I lay my head against his chest. “I’m not just angry with you… I’m angry Abe still sent you here, knowing what Korin was like. I saw the way he looked at you, the way he wants you and I’m pissed off Abe can’t understand how much danger he’s put you in.”There he was. The creature which worried for me, not the one who constantly riled me up, because he liked my spunk.Rhayden let me go and pushed me back a little, looking down at me. “And then you go and do something so stupid as to hack into Korin’s archive

I shouldn’t be so pissed with her… but fucking hell. What the hell was she thinking? If Korin knew Maddison had hacked into his archives, no one would be able to stop the asshole from taking his revenge. Not with who his father was…I stomped through the desert, away from the human woman who had my heart, and into the night. If I stayed near her, I’d say… or do something which I would regret. Like drain her dry… I was itching to taste her blood. To feel her fire, to drown in the ambrosia, which was her life force, it was making my nature a little feral.Somewhere in the night, a phone rang and I sighed, stopping and sat on a giant boulder, pulling the device from my pocket and looked at the flashing screen.Great.Abe.Shutting off the phone I knew I was playing with fire, when it came to my brother. While time had calmed him a little… I knew it wouldn’t take much for him to lose his shit complet

My hands were on Mars again, grazing over soft flesh, raising goosepimples along her skin. Marley tipped her head back as my lips trailed up her neck, nipping at her skin with my fangs, drawing tiny drops of blood which tasted sublime. “Mars.”She wrapped her arms around my neck, letting me plunder her mouth with my tongue. I didn’t know why the simple act of kissing this woman sent me crazy. Maybe it was the difference in temperature. My cold tongue against her hot mouth, the sensation was phenomenal.My hands gripped her buttocks, squeezing them and she sighed against me, pulling away and looked up at me, raising an eyebrow. “You know he’s in the other room, right?”“So?” I asked, smirking, kissing along her jaw.“You’re going to fuck me, with your brother in the next room?”“Yep.”I turned Marley around, pushing her against the cold tiles, bringing her hips back

He looked younger in the picture than when I’d spoken to him two weeks prior. But that smug look… was still there.I let my hand off the page, letting Rhayden flip to the next one. He turned the book, turning it toward me.Looking down at the picture, my eyebrows furrowed. “He looks like… Hang on.”I reached out and grabbed my phone, and held it to the book, looking between photos. “It’s… It’s him. The one in the alley.”“It might not be.” Absinthe muttered, pulling the book toward him and I stared at him.“I’m not fucking stupid Absinthe; I know it’s him. It’s the tattoo on his neck.” I said, turning the phone and stood, putting it next to the picture of the man. “See, there.”Rhayden leaned in, looking at it. “She’s right you know.”“You shut it.” Absinthe said, looking at me and he pushe

All I wanted to do was break down the doors of the library and go to Mars. But I waited patiently behind my brother, as the doors opened, and we calmly walked through them.Marley stood as we walked over to the table and at any other time, she would she poked her tongue out or said something snarky. But not this time. Her gaze dropped to the table and she sat down as Absinthe and I took our seats.She looked tired.Beyond tired. She looked drained and… sad.“Marely, are you okay?”My head turned to Absinthe as he asked her what I’d been wanting to and I looked back to her in time for her to nod. “I’m fine. Lord Othello and I have been talking.”“About?” I asked.What had they been discussing for the last few hours. For that was how long we’d been pacing and waiting.Mars’ gaze went to Othello, who nodded. “Go on, you can tell them.”S

Othello had walked me to a bathroom, leaving me to do my business and then back to the library, where a plate of food was waiting. “Eat, I will be back in a few moments.”I stared at the food, my stomach rumbling with hunger, but also churning with sickness.Othello was nothing like the monster others had told me he was. He’d been sweet and kind, listening to me speak about my sister. He had questioned me about my working relationship with the Raynes and what had me agreeing to the contract I’d signed with Absinthe.I’d even told him of my doubts about my lover, about him keeping information about Johan from me. Which had been rebuked.“Absinthe wouldn’t do that.” “Which part?”“All of it.” Othello had replied. “I was present when he was born, with Absinthe being the heir to the Raynes’ coven, it was my duty as Lord of the Vampires to oversee the birth. Strapping, healthy young vampire he was, his hair as dark as night. So, I know Absinthe and what he is like, he would not tarnish th

If I could have been in the cell with Marley. I would already be there.Not being allowed to be anywhere near her, while she was going through this was breaking my heart and my spirit. And not to mention what it was doing to Rhayden.My brother had always told me he would never sully himself with a human, that because he was a born vampire, sleeping with a human was beneath him… Until he set eyes on Marlene Brennan.I had to admit, even I was quite surprised with how visceral my attraction to her had been when we first met.Now I sat here, in an empty parlor, watching my brother pace and brood. “I don’t give a fuck who he is, if Othello touches a single hair on Mars’ head I will skin him.”That threw up images of my pale haired, alabaster skinned brother, covered in black blood, while he carved Othello’s skin from him… and honestly, it painted quite a pretty—“Are you listening to me?”Rolling my eyes, I looked at my brother. “Of course I’m not.”“Asshole.” Rhayden spat, continuing hi

There was someone in the room with me…“I will get you a better bed.”My body stilled as the voice spoke and chills sped across my skin. Slowly, I opened my eyes and rolled over. There was a man standing at the door, barely taking up the doorway, but the authority he threw off, told me he was important.I climbed to my feet and stepped back, pressing myself against the wall, as he stepped inside the room and the door closed with a heavy thud behind him.The man… no creature in front of me was old. There was a blue tinge to his pale skin. Head bald, mottled with dark spots, he wore a dark suit, which hung off his thin frame. But there was not even a hint of danger coming from this man.Finally, I found my voice. “W-who are you?”There was a moment’s silence, “I am Othello, human hunter.”Oh shit.This was The Lord of the Vampires. The one every coven in the United

I paced the room, aware of Absinthe watching me from his comfy chair. My mind was on the woman in the room, near the armory.It had broken my undead heart, pushing Mars into that room and closing the door.“Rhayden, you’re making me dizzy.”Rolling my eyes, I glared at Abe and kept pacing.How the fuck had everything gone so fucking wrong? And Mathias…“I’m going to gut him.”“Othello wouldn’t approve of you slaying one of the vampire Lords, little brother. No matter how much of an asshole he is.”And by god, Mathias was one of the most assholey of all assholes. He had a mean streak to him, which came to the surface with his superiority complex. He thought he was better than everyone else, just because of his bloodline, because he was a vampire lord.Yeah, well that didn’t excuse his behaviors. Especially in our mansion.“Rhayden.”&ldq

“So, this is the murderess of my Coven member?”Barely had I stepped out of the elevator, when I was overcome with the scent of spoiled blood. Great… he was one of those vampires.Looking past Rhayden, who had stopped in the middle of the corridor, I looked at the vampire before us; his skintight on his bones, his eyes copper with anger, claws descended.In seconds, Absinthe had stepped past me, and was standing shoulder to shoulder with his brother, blocking the volatile vampire from reaching me.“You are in my mansion Mathias, remember that. If you even lay a finger on her, I will rip your head off and use it for a soccer ball.” Abe’s tone was blunt, to the point and my fear kicked into overdrive. What would happen if the vampire didn’t heed Abe’s warning? Would I become a casualty of a fight between them?Mathias leaned forward, looking past the vampires protecting her, lee

The five hours it took to drive back to my mansion, was the longest five hours of my life.Marley and I didn’t speak much, and I was glad, because I knew if we did, the inevitable talk of Johan would arise and we would argue.Seeing the gates of the mansion loom ahead of us though… my stomach churned. And when I drove up the drive, to see more than twenty cars lined up in front of the building, the churning became worse. I knew those cars and why they were there. I turned my head a little, looking across to Marley, as her gaze took in the vehicles, as we drove past and toward the back of the mansion to the garage. “I am not going to be able to speak with you much, once we get inside. Othello will want to speak with you alone.”“Awesome.” Marley muttered and I could hear not only the emotion in her voice, but the way her heart fluttered quicker, the closer we came to the garage. “If you knew that I was in danger, why com
