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

    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

    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,

    “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

    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

    Immortal Cravings Part 1-Temptation If there was ever a time to be worried about my safety, it was now.This very moment.Sneaking through the factories. Hunting creatures which shouldn’t exist.Persona Sanguinis. Person of the Blood.Vampires.Well, one kind specificlly.Sanguinis Perfide. Traitor of the blood.Somewhere on this dock, in this seething scent of fish, rubbish and motor oil, was a rogue vampire. A rogue which my boss wanted dead.Well, more dead than it already was.Back against the wall, I slid against the peeling paint, hearing it crackle behind me, hoping the sound didn’t attract unwanted attention. I out the blade in the thigh holder and bought it up in front of my face. Forged of silver, it’s a loan from my employer, a tool of my trade. Adjusting the collar on my jacket, I brought it up as high as it would go, making sure my flesh was covered.Always keep your neck covered, Marlene.Yeah, I’d been there before.This was not my first hunt, and it would not be my las

    I can smell her.A mixture of fear, sweat and something… sweet. She knows the pheromones she gives off are a beacon to our kind. A flash of what her emotions are, in a single scent. A clue to where they are at any one time if we are on the hunt.What she does not realize is how much she is giving off right at this moment.The confines of the Alfa, as I send it racing through the streets, amplify her scent. Showing me how hot under the collar she is over my presence. This woman is going to be my downfall.Marlene Brennan.My brother’s hunter.Off. Limits.For two long years I had been watching, as she folded herself neatly into our world. One of the only humans to know of our existence. How quickly she picked up the art of hunting... How quickly she got under the skin of my brother and into his bed.Now with her sitting in the passenger seat, I was the dumb schmuck taking her right back to his arms, when she should have been moaning in mine.Slowing the Alfa, a little, I pulled the b

    Keeping my thoughts from Rhayden was not hard. The moment the doors to the library opened and he stepped into its darkened interior, my only thought was on the other man inside.Rhayden cleared his throat. “Absinthe, Marlene Brennan, as requested.”“Thank you, Rhayden. Give her a room.”That silken voice called to me, and I could not help but move.Stepping into the doorway of the grand library, I stopped.The mansion’s library had always had me in awe. The walls lined with rows upon rows of shelves, crammed with old tomes. Soft lighting illuminated a wooden desk against the back window and a huge slab of wood in the center of the room, which served as a conference table.A table currently surrounded by vampires.Each one dressed in suit or formal wear, the enamel pins of their coven, attached to their lapels. Over a dozen gazes fell on me, the hunger evident.Most had not dealt with a human in years. If I had my way, each of them would be dead. I did not trust the elder vampires, an

    Lounging back on the chair in the library, I swung mindlessly, thinking about the pretty brunette in the room down the hall. My tongue still tingled from the single smear of Marley’s blood.My instinct was to run back to her room, smash down the door and take her on the cold floor. Screw the consequences, it would be totally worth it and if someone saw us? Bonus. I didn't mind a little voyeurism every now and then. Holy hell, I had never tasted anything so sweet in my life. Now I knew what had Absinthe so hot over the human woman. Not only was it her fight and spunk, but it was her blood. Absinthe had been the only one to feed from her and since then, he had been a walking talking pain in the ass with his smug looks and flushed skin.Asshole.But Marley was right. There was no way I would fight him. Even over her.Absinthe was almost one-hundred years older than me. He was stronger and faster.There was no way I would entertain that ass kicking. Even if it meant I got the girl.

    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

    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—”

    I woke to the smell of wet fur and blood.It burned my nostrils, making my nose twitch. Sitting bolt upright, at the same time as my brother, I looked over to him, growling. “Lycans.”“In my Mansion!” Absinthe roared, leaping from the bed. I quickly followed, racing to the door and out into the darkened hallway, hearing my brother scream. “Marley!?”I turned, seeing Marley pinned to the wall, the lycan’s fangs almost at her neck. I roared, racing to the creature. I’d almost lost her once to one of the slobbering creatures… I wouldn’t let it happen again.Tackling the huge beast, ripping it away from Marley, the pair of us went over the railings into the lower levels— I turned the lycan mid-air, flipping it to its back. It lashed out at me, renting gashes across my chest, but it didn’t matter, and I landed on the creature with a satisfying thud. My claws embedded into its stomach, and
