Seventy One- Absinthe
Last Updated:
2025-01-11 17:00:23Pacing the library, I waited for the phone to pick up.
“This is Maddison.”
I could hear the tautness of pleasure to the vampire’s voice, and it pissed me off. While I had told Tony, his relationship with Maddison was not forbidden, it was not looked upon favorably right now. “Where is Tony?”
I heard the phone scrambled between hands as my head of security took the device from his fledgling. “Lord Raynes?”
My temper was white hot. “Where have you been?”
“Sir. We were with Lord James all of last night. Someone came into Miss Brennan’s room and tried to take her. We stopped them. But they had the mark of Korin’s coven, so we dragged him back to his master. Turns out he’s a traitor and Korin flayed him.”
Yeah, that sounded about right for my cousin. If anyone crossed him, he would make them pay in the most painful of ways. “And now?”
“Sir

My head pounded and I winced, trying to lay still, to lessen the pain.“Ah, you’re awake Miss Brennan…”My eyes fluttered open and I turned my head, looking at the man standing, leaning against the wall… I hadn’t seen things in the factory. “Vince…? Abe… he killed you.”“Yes, he did kill Vince. I am not Vince. I am his twin, Norman.”Norman… what a crappy name for a vampire. If I wasn’t in so much pain, I would have laughed. But it wasn’t just me head that hurt and I groaned, “What did you do to me?”“Not much really…” he said, walking closer, sitting in the chair beside the bed. “Drained you within an inch of your life…”“You what?” Had he tried to turn me?What the fuck would that do to Absinthe and Rhayden? Me… the fledgling of another, a bond unable to be broken, unless

Three hours.Surely that was a new record…Pity it was under shit circumstances and I wouldn’t ever want to claim the title of this one… because it would always remind me of what happened.Stepping onto the boundary of the factory, I stopped and surveyed the carnage.A war had happened here.But the clean up crew Korin would have sent, did a bang up job of cleaning, I had to admit that. There wasn't a single shred of evidence that supernatural creatures had fought here, just puddles of blood,which by morning would no doubt be soaked in. The scent of wet fur lifted to my nostrils.Fucking lycan.This would be the second time in a month Marley had been attacked by the over grown chihuahuas, and I was starting to wonder if there was something more to the attacks. Especially when last time, they had named me and demanded her.My gaze shifted to a dark patch on the grass near the ruined shutters and the smell of

I couldn’t take any more of this.Norman’s hand whipped across my face again, splitting the tender skin of my cheek and I sagged against the chair I’d been restrained on, as blood gushed down the side of my face. Even when I had boxed in high school, I knew what I could take. I was beyond my limit and I knew soon, my bones would start to break and then I’d be fucked.“So tasty…”My gaze lifted as Norman licked the back of his hand, taking my blood off his knuckles. The sick, ecstatic look to his face as he savored my blood, made me realize something.This was it. This shitty room, at the hands of this dickhead, was where I was going to see the end of my life.I always thought I would die at the hands of a rogue.Or maybe someone like Korin. A vampire lord who didn’t value me as much as Absinthe did… Or even at the hands of Rhayden, in one of our legendary fights.Hell, I once thought maybe Abe himself would have gotten tired of me and

The address left on the note was a factory, not unlike the one Marley had been taken from and within a few minutes of our safe house.The fucking asshole was right under our noses the whole time. Had he been surveiling Marley? Had he been following her? Had he watched as I had left her alone? I would love to find him, bounce him off the walls and ask... and then I'd let Marley kill him.As we neared the building, my skin prickled and I stopped, Tony on one side, Maddison on the other. “Lycan.”As the filthy word left my mouth, a dozen lycan came streaming from the building’s door and I lowered my center of gravity.“Leave none, alive.”We engaged.Fur ripped as we three, all elder vampires, slaughtered the lycan which stood in the way of getting to Marley. Animal after animal fell with a howl, my boot connecting with the head of one, sending it flying, its heavy body landing awkwardly on its own neck, cracking it and killing it instantl

Norman tossed the blade at my feet, and I slowly crouched, keeping my gaze on the vampire. I gripped the handle and slowly stood. “Knives?”The vampire in front of me grinned. “You wanted a chance. So, come on, if you can’t come at me with knives and make me hurt, then you aren’t worth the money Absinthe pays—”I would kill him, make him pay and then I could get back to Abe and demand him to tell me what the hell was going on.I screamed, lashing out at Norman, slicing him across the cheek, the shimmer of his blood coming to the cut instantly. The vampire stepped back, blinking in surprise as I arced again and aimed for his throat.Norman stepped back, his hand deflecting my blade and while he was worried about the knife, I swung my bare fist, connecting it with his cheek. He stumbled, and I launched myself at him, driving my knee into his stomach, the knife falling to the ground uselessly as he doubled over with a grunt.It was hard,

I finally got the upper hand on the big man… the one who looked like Vince, but smelt… feral. I slammed him against the wall, my hand gripping his windpipe with extended claws, as he hung uselessly in my grip. “I will kill you!”“Go for it, pretty boy.” he choked, laughing like a mad man. He’d given up. There was no fight left in him… “You have no idea what’s coming… but without her now… you might fall a little easier.”I roared, my claws digging in and I twisted. Blood sprayed as I ripped the vampire’s throat from his body, and tossed it to the side like a sack of flour. I honestly didn’t give a fuck who he was, and why he looked so much like Vince. Right now, my priority was Marley.Turning, I raced back to Marley. She lay on her side, her back to me and I knelt down, slowly and gently rolling her to her back and into my arms. The smell of blood hit me, before I saw

Waking to the feeling of serum racing around my body was starting to get old.When I had signed up for this job two years ago, no one told me of the risks, of the agony I would put my all too human flesh through. If they had, I would have told them to shove it.I groaned, my head pounding in time with my heartbeat.“Marley?”Absinthe’s voice floated to me, loud and grinding against my headache. I groaned again, rolling to the side, the need to be sick washing over me. I managed to hold it in and sighed, as Abe’s strong hands soothed over my back.Finally feeling stable enough, I opened my eyes and slowly sat up, Absinthe helping me. When he thought me stable enough, he leaned in, kissing me, his hands gripping the sides of my face. Finally pulling away, I sighed and looked at him.He looked tired.I’d never seen a vampire look so drained and… old. I had to remind myself Absinthe was centuries older

Rhayden growled, moving us and tipped me back onto the cold floor. With quick movements, he shredded the clothing I was in, tossing it to the side. His head dipped, mouth kissing along my stomach, nipping skin skin, catching his fangs on my flesh. The stings made me gasp, but not in pain, but pleasure.His mouth found my clit, ready for him. Tipping my head back as his lips closed around it, he suckled and I knew I wouldn’t last long. I pushed my hands through his hair, holding his face to me as I came, loud and hard. “Rhayden!”He growled, fangs sinking into my thigh and my head spun as he drew on my blood. Rhayden slowly lifted himself and I opened my eyes, staring at him. The was blood on his lips and he grinned as he loomed over me. “You really want rough?”“Yes.” I breathed, ignoring the pain in my chest. I didn’t want soft and sweet, like I got with Abe. I needed rough and dangerous with the possibility of ge

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

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

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—”
