Desperate people make bad choices
I woke up refreshed and smelling good coffee. Rogue was already up and about so I scrambled out of bed and threw on some casual clothes. I headed to my kitchen to see Flora, Xander and Rogue all in deep conversation. I pour myself a cup of coffee and lean against the counter to listen to them discussing the queen tournaments.
"Every century tournaments are held where eligible vampire women from all the clans fight for the chance of the crown. The current queen has won for eons. She's one of the original vampires, is incredibly strong and has yellow eyes that give her true sight. True sight means she can see anything about a person she wishes to see. All original vampires have them or so I've been told. The Queen is the one that trains her agents and teaches them all she knows so fighting and winning against her is impossible, es
Rogue is a hard ass trainerI burst only a few times as it drained me quite a bit. When I reached my home Rogue was sitting on the couch drinking from a blood bag."Why aren't you sick," I mumbled sourly and he chuckled."I didn't get a chance to prepare my equilibrium when you took off. You know that's how I decapitated your father. I used a burst, so you can already do it," he told me and I asked him how he could do the burst the entire way back."Endurance and stamina training, which we will start with you in a moment," he stated firmly and grinned slightly as his eyes traveled over my figure.Do you do any meditation at all and do you swim in your pond," he asked me. I raised my brow and said nope to both.
A house full of testosteroneI woke to an empty bed and loud music coming from my living room. It sounded like a fucking party thump, thump. I looked at the floor and saw Pudge sleeping soundly. I gritted my teeth at the animal. I got out of bed and slammed open my bedroom door ready to strangle Flora. To my surprise Rogue was wrestling with one of the agents that had stayed the night while Xander, Flora and the others watched. I rubbed my eyes at my forgetfulness. Flora saw me and hurried off into the kitchen. She exited a moment while later with a large cup of coffee. I thanked her as I took a sip."Excuse me, we didn't get to meet each other properly last night, I'm Mortas," a tall guy wi
Being followed to Cassian's apartment and to my setupRogue was excited about getting a car so the both of us headed to Seattle through the forest. He was getting the hang of branch running and I still needed to work on my burst stamina. I was panting when we arrived at the apartment building. Spencer and Elwin came with us and I enjoyed their company. I wasn't such an introverted asshole and was getting more comfortable around others. I also loved Rogue very much and my heart beat faster when he brushed up against my side and he kissed my neck."It's on the twenty-fifth floor," I told them as they headed towards the elevator. I laughed as I ran up the stairs. I reached the apartment and used my lock pick tools to open the door. The inside was as it was when I'd been there before and I headed straight to the kitchen for the keys. They were on the counter still a
Hera waking from a nightmareA tall dark muscular male figure stood before me and I could see the red eyes of a very ancient vampire. He brushed my bangs back before presenting me with a tiny black root and told me to carry it within myself until it was ready to sprout. I said whatever creepy old dude."You were dead Pandora and I saved you, you're one of mine now, you and your true pereche will help me and you both will understand the reasoning later in your life, now wake," a deep crackly voice tells me. I opened my eyes wide and inhaled deeply as I sat up touching my face and chest. Flora gasped and Rogue rushed to my side."How are you feeling," He asked me and held my hands. I looked at him and told him I was hungry. He grinned slightly and wrapped his arms around me and
My pregnancy accelerates due to Vlad's blood and his impatient rootWe made it to the living room to see Everett and Elwin hugging each other in greeting. When Everett saw both Rogue and I he came towards us and dropped to his knees."I swear allegiance to the both of you," he stated and bowed his head. I kicked him and told him to get off my floor. He stood up and I laughed at the dog hair stuck to his knees."Serves you right, I told you about that bowing crap," I teased and he shrugged. Everett looked at my abdomen and grinned."You're expecting already, Pandora," he squealed excitedly and said he was an uncle. I chuckled and shook my head at him, making him pretend to pout. Rogue eyed me curiously and placed his hands on Effie."You f
Effie our miracle daughter ❤I called each male in my house every foul name I could think of and I know for certain that they all heard because I said them yelling at the top of my lungs. Three fucking hours of labor ending with the gift of a tiny white haired baby girl. My little Effie in the flesh. Rogue looked at his daughter and at me with the most adoring love I'd ever seen grace a face."Effie Hera Draco," he stated and smiled as he nestled her into his arms."She is beautiful like you, my love, you did well," he told me and kissed my temple. He told me he loved me and I apologized for cursing him to hell as I went to shower. When I exited, towel drying my hair I watched Xander run his fingers through his pink hair. He hadn't even looked at Effie. He was acting strangely and carried the dirty linens out of the
Traveling to Cassian's wedding with Rogue, Xander and EffieThe week went by quickly and we arrived at the Eastern clans on the very day of the wedding, along with several other clan leaders and unfortunately the Queen had decided to make an appearance. I growled angrily at hearing the attendant talking about her arrival. He glanced down at me oddly and asked if I was related to Anne. I glared at him and said fuck no. Rogue chuckled at me and pulled me along to the large patio and into his brother's house. Xander carried Effie and was a Godsend because our little girl listened to every thing he said. I glanced around looking for another with platinum hair and couldn't see anyone as Rogue dragged me up a staircase and into a huge ballroom.
Confronting the insane Cassian and dealing with the eastern clansWe walked towards the house and Dreven pulled on my hand to stop me. I told Rogue to go on ahead. I rubbed my surprisingly swollen abdomen. Geesh Vlad, chill down a bit, I thought as Dreven and the remaining agents bowed before me."Please forgive our insolence, we want to pledge ourselves to you, my Queen," he said. I replied ok, whatever and turned to head after Rogue. I walked up the sidewalk, ignoring the agents asking me to forgive them. I looked up to see Rogue leaning against the wall and looking sexy as hell. I tilted my head and watched Effie run up to him. He bent over and picked her up, then grinned at me. He approached m
Epilogue Our entire family under one big roofI woke up, snuggled against Ambrose and grinned happily. I was truly happy and glanced over at Ambrose to see his green eyes watching me."My love appears happy with herself," he said softly and brushed my cheek. I rolled over to my side to face him."I'm happy with my mate and love him very much, he fills my soul," I replied and leaned towards his face to give him a light kiss. "He fills much more than that," he teased and I called him a correct pervert. Ambrose growled possessively and wrapped his arms around me pulling me closer. I chuckled in happiness. We were interrupted by knocking on the door. Ambrose released me and yelled enter. I pulled the blanket up to my neck to cover my nakedness and watched Faris and Emily enter the room."Sorry to bother you both, but I wanted to tell you thanks for the cool things in our rooms," Faris mumbled and Emily nodded her head. "I'm glad you're both happy. I want to speak with you today about pe
Marked and mated with my king & facing Vlad Ambrose made the sweetest love to me. We had sex the rest of the day and most of the night. I was completely satisfied with him. We were both lost in a love induced haze and laying on our backs looking up at the ceiling. I had a huge grin on my face."I love you Ambrose and it's really real, completely and utterly for real," I stated in wonderment. He chuckled heartily and rolled over and kissed my cheek."I love you for real too," he said happily and asked if I wanted blood. I nodded and he wrapped a blanket around his waist and hurried off. When he came back in he was troubled. He handed me a bag and sighed."I called the palace...Vlad is back, Everett took Silvar and the kids, they are on their way here," he said softly. My heart dropped in my chest."What about Xander," I asked him and he said that was who he spoke to. Viktor and Elwin left so he was the only one there."I need to return and deal with him once and for all," he growled m
Finding a way back to Russia from Mexico The four of us made it easily across the border and even passed people traveling the other way. We could see the Mexican Federals searching where we had just been."Doesn't look safe in this country either," I mumbled bitterly and Ambrose exhaled."Make us invisible, Hera," he stated firmly and I looked at him like he was insane."I can't do that," I replied. He looked at me and smiled, telling me that it had been removed from my memory."Didn't you even wonder how your father was the number one assassin, it was because he could disappear. It's more like a chameleon, same concept and you can do like your father, only you can do it for the people you touch as well. That's why you were trained by Vlad, like your father was," he said quickly as the Federals came closer. I chewed on my bottom lip and grabbed each of their hands. I closed my eyes and prayed I could do this. I heightened my other senses and could hear three federal officers approachi
Reviving Xander and saving Effie and my grandsonAmbrose drank several bags of blood to replenish what was going into his brother. Xander was in bad shape. Everett had gone to the kitchen for us to check on the Mac and cheese."Do you think he flew here with his bats," Viktor asked Ambrose. He glanced at his brother and shrugged."Only Vlad has bats, Viktor, I am only wondering why Vlad told me they were dead," he growled angrily and I said I agreed. "The officers that confronted us said Vlad told them Effie was the key to capture the queen, he was working with them," Xander mumbled sourly and I furrowed my brow in anger."That mother fu," I started and Ambrose covered my mouth with his hand, his eyes gesturing towards Faris and Emily. I nodded and told him thanks."What I meant to say is what a horrible little prick," I growled and Ambrose shook his head with a smile. Everett came out and announced that the late lunch was finished and the children rushed towards him. He looked at me
Coming to terms with my messed up lifeI watched Ambrose approach me reluctantly and rolled my eyes."Just do it, I don't feel like bleeding out and dying at this time," I growled angrily and felt his hot damp tongue move across my skin erotically and my eyes widened and my mouth fell open. Is this what a real pereche feels like, I thought as the warmth curled in my insides and settled in my abdomen. Ambrose had paused mid lick and inhaled deeply to adjust his pants."I'd forgotten how intense it was between us," he said roughly and looked at me with glowing green eyes. I laughed suddenly, not from humor but because it felt so strange, like going back in time. I lifted my hand and palmed his cheek and grinned when he rubbed against it unaware. It was just our bodies responding to the connection without our knowledge. We were natural mates yet we were reluctant to complete the bond. My injuries were sealed and Ambrose sat up and chuckled."You were my first kiss, I still remember that d
Vlad's absence and Ambrose's oddnessI woke up blinking my eyes wondering where I was. I soon recovered and sat up. I glanced around the richly decorated obvious male room and paused. I rubbed my eyes over my stupidity last evening. I scrambled off the bed and put my clothes back on. I would need to speak with the staff to find my room. I finger brushed my hair and sniffed the air in hopes of scenting coffee. Instead my nostrils filled with the scent of a tasty smelling man. I breathed in deeply and grinned at the strangely unique scent. It must have been Ambrose's scent, it was very nice. I headed out in the hall and traveled to where I remembered the kitchens to be. When I entered, the room was full of staff preparing food. I smiled at them and saw Silvar heading towards me with a cup of coffee."Faris was up early talking excitedly about sledding," he warned. I chuckled and told him I planned on taking them both. "Well they both are eating pancakes and enjoying tiny bags of blood i
Our new home and Russian alliances The trip was chaotic but everyone that was coming managed to get put in the same flight. I'm sure it helped that Viktor and Vlad both owned their own planes. When we arrived at the actual freaking palace my eyes widened momentarily but then I remembered I'd been here numerous times as a child and my fifties. I raised my brow and glanced at Vlad. He was smiling at the excitement on his children's faces. He felt my eyes and grinned at me."Surely you remember this amazing place," he stated and I nodded, telling him that I did. Surprisingly I remembered where every room led and the river that flowed in the back along with the forest. Our vehicles all stop at the entrance and to the line of houseworkers. They all stood in a long line awaiting the master of the home or their king and now queen. Vlad exited the car without waiting for his driver to come and open it. The children scrambled out after him and I was last. Vlad helped me and took my hand in his
Everett, Elwin and attacked by the government I prepared a huge breakfast for my mate. Lori came in pushing me away from the stove, telling me to sit."Looks like you're both early risers and I'll need to come earlier," Lori mumbled softly. "It was just an odd prior evening and isn't a normal thing, so no need to change your work schedule," Vlad said firmly and Lori nodded and continued with her duties. She took over cooking for me. We sat at the table when Silvar returned with a yawning Viktor. I grinned slightly knowing that the both of them had a steamy evening like Vlad and I. "Good morning you two, I hope your night was enjoyable," Vlad said with a smirk. Viktor nodded as he sat, not giving any indications of his feelings. Silvar sat next to him looking lost in thought. "Carrick's son Everett and a Queen's agent named Elwin are coming this afternoon to stay for a bit," Vlad announced. "Elwin is a sweetheart, I met him once and felt a connection, but he was with his mate Spen
Dealing with the government I returned to Vlad and could hear the helicopter overhead. It's spotlight was shining down at our home and I scowled at their uncouth behavior. I stood next to Vlad holding his hand as the helicopter landed and several military officials exited followed by what was obviously some sort of general. The grunts cocked their guns and directed them at me. I chuckled internally."Apparently you're more of a concern than me," Vlad laughed softly as the general approached him with a raised hand."I'm general Hank Marshall and I have a warrant for this woman, Ms Hera Constantine. We don't want any problems sir," Hank bellowed in authority. Vlad smiled and shook the offered hand."This woman is my wife and the queen of the vampires, are you certain that there is a warrant for her arrest, Hank," Vlad asked."And who are you, may I ask," Hank scowled angrily. "I am the true vampire king Vlad Drăculea," he grinned, bowing his head slightly and the guns left me and were
