What?

I pondered on the statement, staring and wondering if he had gotten the wrong person.

But he had confirmed my name.

"I don't know your daughter, I'm sorry", I shake my head after several moments.

"You don't need to know her. I just wanted to thank you for the Ctrl app you created. That saved her life", he explained, his eyes proffering his gratitude.

Oh that's what he was talking about.

I smiled shyly, unsure of what to say.

He smiled back before turning back to where he had ran out from.

"You did good with that app you created", Rainey commented when we were all on the car and on our way back to the station.

"It has helped the police curb the newly made killings and the sires have all sat up with the warning from the council too"

Warning from the council, I looked to Sydney from the rearview mirror and she shrugged.

What warning from the council?

I wanted to ask but I let the moment pass and I wasn't really in the mood for talk. I just wanted to go home to Kane and Sacha, to t

    I swallowed down the shot of fear that had spiked in my veins and looked up at the man, Siti.I would know his shrill voice anywhere.Quickly thinking, I pulled the flash from the computer and dropped it in my pocket before he slid in to the seat next to me, pining a knife so subtly to my leg that was hidden under the computer desk.My eyes widened as he smiled sardonically, his yellow teeth gleaming."Hello feisty girl. How's life been treating you?"He pressed the knife to my leg and I couldn't even shout for help or turn in my seat. I just sat there, scared to the marrow of my bones."Oh that's right", his shrill voice cluttered and tsked, "Accept my condolences"."Shove it up your ass", I gritted as the knife cut through my skin and I hissed in my breath. My eyes seeing red."You know I like your feist. I believe you got that from your father", he taunted, shaking his head. "He was a crazy man"."You killed him and you're all going to rot in jail for it", I swore even as pain ra

    What?"That doesn't make any sense", I stuttered. "You're not making any sense".Jacob leaned forward on the seat, his elbows resting on his knees as he joined his hands in front of him, looking poised and sprung to deliver the killing bite, "The contract you signed states that you are only free from my terms when I get my money or your father in place of you"."Your father is certainly not replacing you anytime soon, or ever if I may be so rude", he chuckled and I froze. Was he mocking me?Laughing at me behind my back?"Neither do I see my money", "Or do you see it somehow?"I didn't respond, I couldn't respond matter of fact.I was past livid but I had guessed this was how it's going to be."And I've decided", his voice rose a little, sounding firm and I had to glance up at him. The air was warm, there was no fireplace though so I wondered how it was warm in here when it was like twenty two degrees outside. The light bulb was warm also, it was the yellow kind of light and it ca

    "I'm going home to bury my father tomorrow", I said in finality, my eyes doubling with daggers of their own."You can attend the funeral. I won't begrudge you that, but you would attend with heavy security detail".What?"You can't stop me. My friends would be worried, they would ask questions"."I'm not stopping you from calling your friends, Dalia", he said softly, still poised by the door, his gait relaxed and bored."I'm sure you can use that opportunity to answer any questions you're asked".I glared at him, wishing I had mind powers to squeeze out his brain just with the use of my eyes."Get some sleep", Jacob drawled, opening the door and slipping out.The door shut with a click and I threw away the bed covers, standing up to walk off the frustration and sexual tension that he had wound in me.Wound extra tight.My leg was fine, better than fine if I could say so myself. He had probably tried to downplay it, but I doubted my blood had suddenly gotten superpowers to fix up my b

    Claude's words seemed to have gotten through to them and Sydney smiled, plucking herself out from Vivo's lap, the sexual haze still clear in his eyes."You can catch up later and go back to hating yourself after", Claude continued walking over to Vivo's desk, taking something out of his pocket.The flash, my eyes caught.Sydney perched on his desk as Vivo whirled around, facing his computers and I stood behind, watching them all awkwardly, my eyes moving from Claude's tensed frame to Sydney's ecstatic one, with a stoic Vivo in the middle.Did Claude like Sydney?Was that why he taunted her, I mused, watching him with growing interest.And what did he mean by they could go back to hating themselves after?Was he referring to Vivo and Sydney?"Take a picture, it would most definitely last longer", Claude snapped and I realized he had caught me staring. They had both caught me staring actually.I blushed, looking away."Get your ass over here", he ordered and I shot out of where I was st

    "Yes I'm sure", I assured, even though I wasn't sure of anything at all. Not sure of anything related to Jacob and what he wanted to do to me except the ones he had made clear~ which was fucking me and swallowing my moans.Sacha still didn't believe me, as she stated clearly, her tone singing with accusation and her eyes narrowing on me, "You like him".And I stared wide mouthed, thrown off by the question, "no I don't"."Yes you do", Her eyes went to Kane and the bastard nodded alongside her, his smile turning into a mischievous grin."She's in denial", he spurted and I glared at the traitor."You both are making a situation where there's none. I don't like Jacob. He's a callous, self-centered arrogant dick who thinks he can get away with anything just because he has a to die for face and he's the King of Vampires".Sacha barked out a laugh, her voice cackling as she fell back on Kane's bed. She stopped after a moment, sitting up almost immediately as she smiled, "You can't tell me

    FuckHe had sensed us. Or me.With wide eyes, I stared at Sacha, my eyes asking the silent question.Should we make a run for it?"Guests?"Kane's dad repeated, with a speculative tone. "What guests?"Shit.Shit.I bet the bastard was enjoying this."I had guests", Kane's mum responded, not cowering one bit. "I was hosting Kane's friends when you came in"."I hope they didn't have to leave on my behalf", The self conceited bastard remarked and I could hear the laugh interlaced in his tone.I knew he was enjoying this."No. I thought my husband", she emphasized and I silently hailed her again, "wouldn't fancy the company of humans".A heavy sigh reached my ears before Kane's dad's voice said, "Since we're entertaining guests, they're very much welcome to the dinner table".No.I wasn't coming out there.I wasn't going to come out, I decided stubbornly as I heard Kane's footsteps and the pulling back of chairs.NoHe was going to win here too.How had he known I was here for fuck sake?

    I shook my head clear of the wanton thoughts and managed to stutter out, "What are you doing to me?""Why did you come here?""You could have just let me bury my father in peace. I was going to come back".He smiled, fangs flashing "To the first question, I'm doing absolutely nothing to you. I haven't even begun.""To your second question, I'm here to claim what is mine"."And to your last statement Dalia", he let out angrily, his fingers learning my lips "when I give you the benefit of a doubt, don't fucking prove me wrong".I was struck again, not able to speak or think about any other thing but the presence towering over me."I'll let you bury your father", his fangs elongated as he leaned down to my ear and the lights in the bathroom began to flicker."And after that I want no complaints from you".Somehow that statement seemed to release my vocal cords as what Sacha and Kane had said earlier came to mind."When?" I asked and Jacob straightened, his magnificent eyes boring into me

    It was raining.Light drops of water pouring forth from the sky and darkening the heavens. It was raining in November.Another first.I looked into the mirror, staring at my grief stricken face.My father was to be buried in two hours.He was truly and actually dead.I was now an orphan.I felt the tears roll down my face in trips. My parents were all gone, even though my dad hadn't treated me like a human worthy to work this earth in the last days of his life, he had still been my dad.And now he was really going to be put into the ground.And I did not know what to do. I stared into the mirror again, my hair was packed back away from my face, I was clad in a black romper with white striped lines and I cleaned my face, splashing some water to cool my eyes. I couldn't go out there looking like that, they would sense that something was wrong. And the facade I had been putting up would crumble.Lucky for me, Sacha had thought to bring clothes for the funeral when I had told her to

  • King of Vampires   The END

    Epilogue.I sensed her before she came into the bedroom, the door opened and her eyes focused on me like I was her next meal and she intended to ravish me. My sex grew hard from the look in her eyes and the fact that she was finally mine all mine.She closed the door softly behind her and walked like a cat to the feet of my bed. I laid there watching her with heated eyes following every movement the I realized I would give my heart for this woman. She had healed quite nicely in two weeks. The scar on her heart had almost faded and she was glowing. Thanks to the vampire blood running in her veins. Dalia tugged on her robe and dropped it to the ground and my mouth watered. She was wearing nothing underneath. The glorious swell of her breast rose with each of her rapid breaths. “What’s the matter?”, I teased and brought out my hard as a dumbbell cock. My tip was already glistened with prec*m from anticipation. “You can’t stop now”.Dalia’s eyes heated and I think she darted out her

    Sacha’s povThey were gone. Like their physical bodies were still intact but they were so still like they had moved to another dimension and left their bodies. I would never fully understand the ways of those folks and I wouldn’t start now because they were pressing issues to be attended to. My best friend was lying lifeless on the floor with a dagger protruding from her chest. I refused to believe she was dead. Dalia couldn’t be dead. No one was appearing out of the shadows. Kane’s mum and what I guessed to be the other chick’s mum laid side by side each other. Dead, unmoving, no more coming back to this world. I didn’t even know what to do. I wanted to run to Dalia’s side but I was so scared that someone was going to come out of the shadows and slice my neck next.I looked at Kane and he didn’t even seem like he was aware of his surroundings. The other girl who I think was Lanie had been mumbling something ever since her mum had been offed and she was still mumbling the same

  • King of Vampires   The beginning of an end

    I stared wide eyed at the figure that loomed over with a dagger in her hand. Her dark hair was flowing down her face and her lips were blood red like she had just finished a blood feast. Her eyes were empty big black balls and I felt the cold she was emanating all the way up to my veins. She wanted me to kill Jacob.She wanted me to kill Jacob to live.I screamed but I couldn’t scream out because of the cloth tied against my mouth.“Go on. Take it”, She nudged the dagger towards me. I started down at the dagger and wondered if this was the infamous blade made from the things Jacob told me a while ago.“Your time is ticking”, the evil woman said and the blade clattered to the floor and out of nowhere a clock started ticking loudly. Like a countdown to a huge bomb.Instead this time, I didn’t know how long I had or what was going to happen to me if I refused to do what she said.My eyes went to Jacob whose face was cleared from every emotion. He wasn’t even looking at me but I unders

    This had to end. The damage was already enough, the casualties, the people being locked up in their houses from the fear of what was going. From the panel board, I could see Leon and his team had already arrived at the garden center to help rescue the injured. What exactly did Adriana want? For Jacob to concede the city to her?“She knows St. Laurent is in the city council building”, the vampire that had been put in charge of babysitting me alongside Sydney spoke up.My eyes widened. Jacob was at the city building? He was at the very place 200 bots surrounded at the moment?“What?”, I croaked out. “Why?” “I thought he evacuated along with everyone”“Indirectly this is a fight for his city. You didn’t expect him to cower and hide at the face of his mother”, Sydney retorted, throwing her hair back as she watched the screen with searching eyes. I hadn’t even known when she had appeared.“But he can’t seriously think of facing her alone. See the army she has amassed. This doesn’t even

    I ran without looking back, the guards overlooking the place were probably slacking or the cloak I was wearing possessed some kind of ethereal power. The woman had ordered me to close the door behind me and not look back, saying everything was written out in the letter.Hoping the letter was in the envelope, I held it tightly to my chest as I sneaked out from a heavy iron backdoor that was already open.I had a feeling it was the woman’s doing.I walked for a mile or two, seeing nothing but grass all aroundWhere the fuck was I?Now was the time to try that little trick I had been taught once upon a time.I closed my eyes, taking in a deep breath in turn as I imagined my room in Jacob’s historical mansion. The blood red curtains appeared in my mind, or were they lavender colored?The fuck? This wasn’t going to work.I imagined the strategy room where we had stayed the last time to plan, the long table and the oak wood chairs. The wind whooshed through my ears and suddenly five sets o

  • King of Vampires   Takeover III

    Jacob's POVGreen eyes stared at me, his eyebrows quirked up in askance but I hadn't been paying attention.My mind was far away from here, my lungs felt tight with every passing minute. Questions swarm through my head, as I stared into space. What was happening to her at the moment? I knew she couldn't be dead because the bond still felt strong but the worry gnawed at me from within."Boss", Sydney voiced and my eyes snapped to hers. "We are awaiting your instructions".My head went blank for a second as I tried to rehash what Leon had said from where he seated opposite.Seeming to know I hadn't heard him, Leon repeated, his green eyes focused and mean, "Words on the street says a number of trucks had been seen moving into the city".I nodded, finally understanding. My birthgiver hadn't been building her soldiers in my city, she'd been transporting them in, right under my nose.I had given her that power.I had given her the power to bring me to my knees and she knew it. My lungs

    InterludeHi, my loves. Merry Christmas. Happy new year. Happy new months… I suck…I know. I terribly suck for leaving you all hanging.Well, the past months have been my absolute worst. I've been through things and came out even when I thought I couldn't.Enough of the sob story…blahhThe good news is I'm back…And so is Jacob and Dalia. And…..drumroll please…. Leon and Sacha.Takeover III came to, my head pounding like a mega steel drum.Fuck, this kidnapping shit never gets old, does it?I blink, the lights like sears piercing through my corneas. My eyes adjusted quickly and I found out my hands were tightly cinched behind me.I looked around nervously, my heart rate tripling and sweat rolling like a snail down my back. The memories came back and I tried to swallow my fear. Michael, Adriana, there were a lot of people with me on their shit list, even though I had done absolutely nothing to deserve being on there.A noise sounded outside the small room and I closed my eyes immedi

    No, I shook my head rapidly, my eyes still wide with shock. It wasn't possible.Michael smiled and walked into the house, his eyes scanning the place.Sacha, the thought flickered in my head. Sacha was in the kitchen. He was going to see her if she stepped out."How've you been, darling. Did you miss me?" Michael asked, tilting his head a bit as his cold and callous eyes met with mineHow had I never noticed this before?How had I not noticed the cold and calculating nature behind his eyes?"What do you want?", I managed to ask even as my head was going haywire with what to do. "A lot of things, sweet cheeks", He answered and Sacha chose that horrible moment to step out. Her eyes were wide and there was a butcher knife in her clenched fists."Get out", she seethed and the tension in the air grew more rigid.No, I screamed in my head. Michael was dangerous, surely she was bluffing about confronting him with a butcher knife.I stepped in front of her as Michael's smile grew and his fan

    I kissed him like my life depended on it... because maybe it did.Jacob hefted me up and my body folded around his, my legs wrapped around his waist and my body melted into him.This was what I had always wanted."We can't do this here", Jacob mumbled at me but kept on nibbling on my mouth.I pulled away, feeling elated as I searched his eyes."You can drop me now", I murmured, looking anywhere but at his mouth."You feel so comfortable right here", He smiled and my heart melted."Sydney and Claude will be back any moment and we still have the Dick situation", I said level headedly Jacob sighed and placed me carefully on my feet. "Come home with me"."No", I stated immediately and watched his head tilt in confusion."No?"I nodded, trying to hide my smile. I took a step back to at least find a breathing space from his magnetic presence."What do you mean, no?""You hurt me more than a couple of times", I answered matter of factly.
