Immortal Cravings Fifty One-Marley
Ten minutes after leaving the hotel, I had a hot box of noodles in one hand and a pair of chopsticks in the other. I ate hungrily, ignoring the lights of the city twinkling at me in the distance, as Tony drove us back toward Korin’s mansion.“I am sorry I did not protect you from Korin earlier Miss Brennan. It will not happen again.”I looked up to Tony, the chopsticks hanging between the carton and my mouth and blinked at him. “It's alright Tony. I should have waited. But I was hungry.”The vampire didn't reply, and I shoved food into my mouth, savoring the tang of the lemon sauce. Soon finished, I shoved the carton beside me and looked out to the skyline. “How far out does Korin actually live from the city?”“About a half hour drive Miss Brennan.”“Please Tony, call me Marley, everyone else does.”“Very well Miss Brennan.” He replied, and I smiled. Professional as always. I’d always liked Tony. He was one of Absinthe’s most loyal coven members. He’d do anything for his Keeper.The l

I 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

Immortal Cravings One Hundred Twelve
My hand went to my mouth, and I looked at Absinthe. Tears were on his lashes, and he closed his eyes, letting the drops slide down his cheeks. “Oh my god.”“Now you know. You know why I didn’t want to tell you about Johan, or where he was. It’s not the fear of you leaving Marley. Honestly, I could live with that, to know you are safe…” He opened his eyes, his irises almost white and I heard the pain and anguish in his voice. “It’s the fear of him taking the one thing—which is worth more to me, than my own immortality. That is what scares me.”My hand reached out to him, and I gripped his hand in mine, squeezing it. “As much as I want to be angry with you, I understand why you did it. But Abe… he has to be bought to justice for what he did.”“I know, and he will. I just need time to make a pla—” The phone rang, making us both jump and Absinthe reached out, pick

“Abe?”Absinthe slowly lifted his eyes, looking at me. “I was wondering when you would get here.”I closed the door to the library, and leaned against it, looking at my dark-haired lover.He looked sad. Lost almost and I sighed, walking over and sat next to him. We didn’t speak for a few minutes.His gaze couldn’t hold mine… that’s when I understood, and my heart broke into a million pieces. “You knew about Johan and Johnathan.”“Yes.”He knew… I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Why didn’t you tell me?”Absinthe’s bottom lip trembled, “Because I knew you would have a one-track mind about it. That it would cloud your judgement.”“What judgement? That he is as crazy as his ancestor—”“Father.”“What?”“Johnathan was Johan’s father
Immortal Cravings One Hundred Ten-Marley
It had been twenty-four hours since the trial, and while things should have been feeling fairly normal… something was niggling in the back of my mind. Something didn’t feel right.I hadn’t seen either Absinthe or Rhayden tonight, but I knew I would probably have Rhayden between my legs any time—“Hey, what are you doing?”I looked up at Rhayden, seeing him standing at the door, arms crossed over his chest. He still sported the remnants of the braids I’d done the night before, and I smirked, returning my attention to the device in my hands. “Recovering from your brother.”“Was he rough with you Mars?”There was not an inkling of concern in this ass’ voice, and I rolled my eyes at him, flipping him off, which earned a chuckle. After Absinthe had fucked me three times, and sent me insane with pleasure, we’d laid quietly and not spoken. I had been drained, not only mentally,

I waved to Othello as his entourage took him out of the mansion grounds to a hotel owned by our kind, which would house him and the other coven leaders for the rest of the night.There was no fucking way I wanted them in my mansion any longer.It had been a rough night.There were moments where I thought I would have to fight Mathias, or tear my brother off him. But in the end, justice prevailed and Marley was safe.Speaking of Marley.I turned and walked back into the mansion, seeking out her scent.I knew she would be with Rhayden. Hopefully not impaled on him again. That, I had only just barely tolerated. While I knew they fucked, I didn’t want to see it.There.Turning to one of the four parlors in the lower halls of the mansion, I stopped at the doorway. Marley was sitting a small armchair, Rhayden at her feet and she was… was she braiding his hair?I chuckled as the pure bliss on my brother’s fac

The vampire at the end of the table had everyone’s attention. Even his so-called supporters stared at him as if he had just sacrificed a small child in their presence.Mathias sat down and leaned back in his chair, looking at us all. “It wasn’t Johnathan.”Wasn’t…? this guy was just so fucking negative. What the actual fuck?“It was. I saw the tatt—”“It wasn’t.” Mathias snarled, crossing his arms over his chest. “It was his brother. Kendrick didn’t like the fact his brother had been slaughtered by Absinthe.”“I did not slaughter him. He attacked me.” Abe spat and Mathias rolled his eyes.“Whatever. Kendrick said Absinthe had no right to ruin his family’s legacy like he had. Johnathan’s final wish was to destroy his own coven, kill out the bloodline. He never liked the fact he was a vampire. Never accepted what he

You could have heard a pin drop in the room… well, you could only hear my breathing, and I thought that worse. Why the fuck did I have to be surrounded by dead things?“Mathias, you called this trial, I call for you to make the opening address.”My attention turned to the man at the end of the table. Surrounded by other vampire coven leaders, Mathias tried to look impressive as he stood. But in reality, I could see what a weak creature he really was, and I wondered if he had been like this when he had been human; because I could tell with the fang marks on his neck, he wasn’t born a vampire like my lovers.Mathias leaned forward, his knuckles going to the table as if to be intimidating, and glared at me. “This human, killed one of my Senior Coven, without evidence of any wrong doing on my member’s behalf. She needs to be punished for it. And I would gladly punish her if you cannot.”He was kidding, right
Immortal Cravings One Hundred Six-Absinthe
I walked beside Marlene, Rhayden on her other side, as we moved through the quietened mansion toward the library and to her fate.This was going to be a shit show.I could feel it in my bones.Never in the history of the vampire nation, had a human stood trial for killing a vampire. They were usually dealt with quicker than this. Slaughtered, or drained of their blood, or left in the wilds to die. This whole situation was unheard of and the fact it was happening to our human, set my teeth on edge.This could go one of two ways.Marley would be found not-guilty, in which she would be free and we would be able to continue on how we had been.Of she would be found guilty and her life would be forfeit; and I would not be okay with that. This meeting could potentially be the death of my beautiful lover, and I had to decide if I would stand for it.Would I allow Othello end Marlene’s life?No. I knew I wouldn’t.An

My heart fluttered. God damn it. Again?I hated serum so fucking much. My head pounded, and my eyes slowly opened.Absinthe and Rhayden were leaning over me, their hair curtaining their beautiful faces. I smiled, reaching up and stroked their cheeks, my touch melting the tension from their features as they looked down at me.“My boys…”“Marley.” Absinthe cooed, leaning down. He gently pressed his lips against mine, before Rhayden did the same.“We thought we’d lost you Mars.”“I’m not going anywhere just yet.” I smiled, moving to sit up and Absinthe helped, propping pillows behind my back.Rhayden smiled, looking to his brother as he climbed from the edge of the bed. “I’ll go tell Othello she’s awake.”Absinthe nodded, turning back to me as Rhayden closed the door. “You left a dead Lycan on Othello—”
