THE STING OF THE VAMPIRE'S BITE EPISODE 12
KEILAH I watched as Damien stormed out, the air around him tense and charged. The other creep of a guy followed close behind, and I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. I hated how scared I felt, how that brief moment when Damien grabbed my arm, turning on a monstrous face, still made my skin crawl. I’d stood my ground, put on a brave face—but now that he was gone, all that courage crumbled. My knees wobbled, and before I could regain my balance, they buckled, causing me to stumble and collapse onto my haunches.I tried to catch my breath, but it felt like my chest was tightening, the fear and anger all building up like a knot inside me. Garbie rushed toward me, her eyes wide with concern, and for a split second, I thought about letting her help. But the second she reached for me, I jolted back, shouting, "Get away from me!"She stepped back, startled, her eyes full of shock. "I'm sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you—I just want to help.""Help?" I snapped, my voice trembling wi

KEILAH Her words felt like a punch to my gut. “The Underworld Kingdom?” I repeated, my voice barely above a whisper. My mind raced, trying to process what that meant. The name itself sent chills down my spine, and I had to fight the urge to shiver. “So… this means I'm in a different realm?”Garbie nodded, her eyes meeting mine. “Yes. This is where our kind resides, away from the human world. It’s safer for us here.”I looked around the room, suddenly feeling like the walls were closing in. Everything had felt strange from the beginning, but knowing I wasn’t even in the human world made it worse. “So, I’m stuck here? In the Underworld?”She hesitated before nodding slowly. “For now, yes.”My chest tightened, and I had to take a deep breath to steady myself. “And there’s no way back?”Garbie’s face softened. “It’s not that simple. The passage between the human world and the Underworld is guarded. Only those with permission from King Draven or a high-ranking vampire, which is my dad, ca

KEILAH "Are you happy now?" I muttered, my voice laced with frustration even though it was for my own good. He didn’t respond. Instead, he turned and walked a few steps away before sitting down on a wooden stool in the corner of the room. His cold, intense gaze locked onto me, and he said nothing for a long moment. The silence was suffocating. I let out a long, exasperated breath, the tension in the air unbearable. My eyes bore into him as I sat upright, still bundled under the covers, my voice laced with irritation. "Can you now tell me why you brought me here? Garbie told me there's no way back to the human world and that the only person who can take me back is—" “Me,” Damien interrupted, his voice sharp. His eyes remained fixed on mine, unwavering. “Me, and Seth.” I blinked, caught off guard by the interruption. "But—" “You can’t go back now,” he continued, his voice low but firm. “It’s too dangerous for you out there.” “Where exactly do you mean?” I shot back, narrowing m

DAMIEN I heard the door slam shut behind her.I didn’t need to look up to know it was Keilah. Her scent, sweet and earthy, lingered in the air. She must have caught a glimpse of me just as I was pulling on my clothes. A small, amused smile tugged at the corner of my mouth, but I didn’t dwell on it. I wasn’t the type to get embarrassed or flustered easily.I continued dressing without so much as a pause, pulling on a black shirt and then buttoning it up with measured precision. My mind was elsewhere. Keilah’s reaction was amusing and annoying, but it wasn’t surprising. She was still adapting to my world, and there were many things she didn’t understand—yet.As I finished getting dressed, I allowed my thoughts to wander, calculating my next move. The truth was, I had every intention of keeping her safe, but her stubbornness made it... challenging. The constant questions, the distrust—it all boiled down to one thing: Keilah didn’t belong here, not yet. And I wasn’t ready to let her go e

DAMIEN I paused in the middle of the room, my eyes scanning every corner. The window—my first suspicion—remained sealed, the latch untouched. No one had gone through it. Frowning, I stalked over to the bathroom, pushing the door open with a swift motion. It was empty, too, no sign of her, not even a wet towel hanging by the sink. My frustration deepened. Where could she have gone?I returned to the centre of the room, inhaling deeply. Her scent, usually vibrant and fresh, was fading. It lingered most strongly by the door and nowhere else. My fists clenched at my sides as confusion gnawed at me. Her presence vanished as if she had simply stepped through a wall. A low growl rumbled from my chest. "Where the fuck is she now?" I muttered under my breath. "It’s not like she’s a witch or a ghost to just disappear like—" I stopped mid-sentence, a thought, unbelievable and absurd, slipping into my mind.My eyes widened as the pieces clicked into place. Without a moment’s hesitation, I vanis

KEILAH Panic surged through me, the fog thickening around my ankles like a heavy shroud. My heart raced as I spun in place, desperate for any familiar landmark, but the mist enveloped everything, rendering my surroundings completely unrecognisable. “Where am I?” I whispered, my voice trembling, barely audible against the oppressive silence.The world felt unreal, like a strange dream I couldn't wake up from. I took a few hesitant steps forward, each one echoing in the stillness. The cold seeped through my clothes, biting into my skin and sending shivers racing up my spine. I hugged myself tightly, trying to ward off the chill that clawed at my body. “This can’t be real. It has to be a nightmare,” I muttered, though deep down, a nagging doubt festered.“Damien?!” I called out, my voice cracking. The only answer was the soft rustle of fog swirling around me, taunting me with its silence. My breaths quickened, and I could feel my pulse pounding in my ears, each beat a reminder of how ut

KEILAH I stumbled back, the jagged stone still lodged in my arm, my legs trembling as I tried to put as much distance as possible between myself and the group of vampires. "Stay away from me!" I shouted, my voice cracking with panic. But they didn't listen. They took slow, deliberate steps toward me, their movements graceful, predatory, as if savouring the fear that radiated from me in waves. Their glowing eyes tracked every shaky step I took, and I could feel their bloodlust thickening the air. I swallowed hard, my pulse pounding in my throat as the reality of the situation sank in. I was human. They were vampires. Faster, stronger, relentless. There was no way I could outrun them. They knew it, and worse, I knew it. One of them licked his lips, a chilling grin spreading across his face. “Oh, don’t be scared, darling,” he drawled, his voice smooth and taunting. “We won’t bite... too hard.” The others chuckled darkly, their steps unhurried, as if they were relishing the chase that

AUTHOR'S POVIn the dim, eerie silence of the castle, a mysterious figure emerged, stepping out from the shadows with an air of quiet authority. He was tall and broad-shouldered, with mid-length blonde hair flowing around his unreadable face. His sharp gaze drifted to the floor where droplets of fresh blood were, a trail Keilah had left behind. He knelt, his movements deliberate and graceful, studying the drops with a keen interest.Lowering himself to a crouch, he examined the jagged stone still smeared with Keilah’s blood. He lifted it, bringing it to his nose for a deep, appreciative sniff before lightly licking the blood-stained edge. A flicker of satisfaction crossed his features, the barest hint of a devilish grin tugging at the corners of his mouth as he stood.With a sudden burst of speed, he vanished from his spot, only to reappear at the far end of the castle, following Keilah’s bloody scent through every shadowed corner of the labyrinthine halls. Her blood, though faint, wa

KEILAH The woman’s voice cut through the thick silence again, cold and deliberate. “Aren’t you starving? Isn’t that what got you where you’re not supposed to be?” I stood there, utterly flabbergasted, my mind racing to catch up with her words. Shock, confusion, frustration—all of it churned within me, but what I was most aware of was the pounding of my heart and the irritation of Damien’s mark. It itched, stinging in a way I couldn’t ignore.The woman’s eyes never left me, her gaze unwavering as she spoke again. “Come, get something to eat before I change my mind. As for your friends, they’ll be fine that way.” She motioned lazily toward the group, who stood frozen. “Now, come.” I stayed rooted to the spot, uncertain of what to do. The group surrounded me, still and stiff, their protective postures making it feel impossible to move without brushing against one of them. It was like they were keeping me trapped in place, yet I had no idea how to get out of this. The woman’s expre
THE STING OF THE VAMPIRE'S BITE EPISODE 39
KEILAH The hum of the car engine filled the silence between us. Outside, the landscape rolled by in an endless blur—twisting roads, shadowed hills, and darkening skies that stretched on and on. It was the kind of silence that felt heavy with unspoken words and the weight of secrets neither of us wanted to touch yet.Damien sat in the driver’s seat, his tall, broad frame looking perfectly at ease. One hand gripped the wheel with an easy firmness, the other resting against his knee. His face, illuminated faintly by the glow of the dashboard lights, was carved from stone—sharp angles, impassive features, and those eyes. Even though they were fixed on the road, I knew they missed nothing.I shifted in my seat for what felt like the hundredth time, unable to get comfortable. Ever since I got in the car with Damien, my neck burned with an irritating itch—a deep stinging sensation that I couldn’t ignore. I scratched at the spot absentmindedly, fingers brushing over the mark. It wasn't the
THE STING OF THE VAMPIRE'S BITE EPISODE 38
KEILAH “What do you mean by that? Why does it want to stay here?” I asked, confused. Why would Ralph’s wolf refuse to leave when Ralph himself might be searching for it? I sighed. “Why do I even care about him reuniting with his wolf?” But then again, his wolf is a part of him. He must feel incomplete without it. Helping him reunite with his wolf—it’s the least I can do, right?I didn’t catch what Damien was saying because I was too lost in my own thoughts. My focus snapped back when he brushed past me, heading upstairs. His eyes moved as if tracking something unseen, and I knew he was following Ralph’s wolf.I followed him closely, noticing the tension in his jaw. He clearly wasn’t thrilled about this, but he was doing it because I asked. When he reached my room, he stopped abruptly, his gaze narrowing at the wall.“What is it doing?” I asked, following his line of sight.“It disappeared through the wall,” he replied.I stepped in front of him, my breath catching as I looked up.

THE STING OF THE VAMPIRE'S BITE EPISODE 37
SETHThe air felt thick with rage as I leapt through the night, the weight of Draven’s anger hanging over me like a suffocating smoke. I could still feel the burn in my throat from where his hands had gripped me. King Draven had never looked at me that way before. Never with such ferocity. I had seen him angry over the years, but this... this was different. It was like he was seeing me as a stranger—someone who betrayed him, who threatened what was most precious to him. And it was all because of her. Keilah. That damn human girl. She had become a thorn in my side, and my patience had finally snapped.I could feel the burn of my fangs, the ache to feed, to rip into something, anything, to calm the fire within me. I pushed my speed harder, my surroundings blurring around me, until I reached the edge of the mountains, where the wild creatures roamed freely.Without hesitation, I launched myself into the woods, the familiar rush of bloodlust flooding my senses. My eyes narrowed as I caugh

DAMIEN Exhaustion hit me like a wave. I slumped down on the bed next to her, my body heavy and unsteady. A sharp, draining sensation tugged at my core. I felt hollow, as though something vital was being siphoned from me.The wolf paced restlessly beside the bed, its now golden eyes flickering between Keilah and me.“Sit your furry ass down,” I muttered, my voice hoarse and low. “She’s fine now.”The wolf hesitated but finally lay down beside the bed, resting its massive head on its paws, its gaze never leaving her.I closed my eyes briefly, trying to steady myself. The sharp pull of exhaustion still gnawed at me, but a prickle of awareness shot through my mind like a lightning bolt.Seth.My eyes snapped open, their natural hue giving way to a darker, furious abyss as rage flooded through me. He was here—inside my house.Before I could think, I moved. In a blink, I was downstairs, my body a blur of raw energy and fury. I slammed into him with all my weight, knocking him clean off his
THE STING OF THE VAMPIRE'S BITE EPISODE 35
DAMIEN Deirdre's soft laughter vibrated against my chest, a melody that soothed the storm inside me. “You’re holding me so tightly, Damien,” she murmured, her voice tinged with gentle humour. “Are you sure you’re okay?”I pulled back just enough to look at her, searching her face for any trace of deception, any sign that this was another cruel trick of the throne or my own fractured mind. But there was none. Her eyes held nothing but love and warmth.“I don’t want to let go,” I admitted, my voice raw. “Not after what I’ve been through. I can’t lose you again.”Her expression softened, and she reached up to brush her fingers along my jawline, her touch featherlight. “You’ll never lose me, my love. I promised you that a long time ago, didn’t I?” She smiled, her thumb tracing the edge of my cheek. A mischievous glint lit up her gaze, and her lips curved into a teasing smirk. “Did you forget who I am?” she said, her tone a playful
THE STING OF THE VAMPIRE'S BITE EPISODE 34
KEILAH Seth stared at me, his eyes cold. For a moment, the room was silent, save for the heavy beat of my heart in my chest. I held my ground, refusing to let his words rattle me. My mind was focused on one thing—Damien. If there was even the slightest chance my blood could help him, I wasn’t going to back down.Finally, Seth broke the silence with a low grunt, his eyes flickering toward Garbie. “You heard her. Get it,” he muttered, his tone laced with reluctant agreement. He turned his attention back to me, his glare never leaving my face as if daring me to reconsider. “I hope for your sake this works, Keilah. I’d hate to see what happens next if it doesn’t.”Garbie returned a few moments later, holding a knife that looked like it hadn’t been in use for years and a black bowl. The blade was worn and dark, the handle smooth with age. I glanced from the knife to Seth, my mind racing with questions I couldn’t quite master into words.My heart thudded painfully in my chest, and the weig
THE STING OF THE VAMPIRE'S BITE EPISODE 33
KEILAH I clenched my fists, her words cutting deeper than I wanted to admit. I hated feeling powerless. I hated standing still while Damien was slipping further away. Every fibre of my being screamed at me to act, to do something, anything, but Garbie’s words were a harsh reminder of my limits.I turned away from her, my chest heaving as I struggled to calm the storm inside me. My mind whirled with thoughts of Damien, of those black veins crawling across his skin.What was I even doing here? How could I possibly help?But no matter how hard I tried to convince myself to step back, to listen to reason, a small, stubborn part of me refused. I couldn’t just wait. I couldn’t just accept that there was nothing I could do.I turned back to Garbie, determination hardening my voice. “You might think I can’t help,” I said, my voice steady despite the fear bubbling inside me, “but I have to try. Your king… he’s not just some vampire to me. He saved me and protected me, even when he didn’t have
THE STING OF THE VAMPIRE'S BITE EPISODE 32
KEILAH I froze. My fingers flew to my neck, touching the place where Damien’s mark had been, the one that had been a constant reminder of him and everything that came with it. It was smooth now, unblemished. No trace of the mark remained.Gone. Just like that.I stared at Garbie, disbelief and confusion swirling in my mind. “How is that possible?” I asked, though I wasn’t sure I wanted the answer.I pushed myself up, my legs feeling too light, like they weren’t quite holding me properly. The floor beneath me seemed distant, and for a split second, I thought I might collapse again. But before I could fall, Barbara was there, her hands steadying me.“Keilah, take it easy,” she said, her voice filled with concern.I nodded, barely registering her words as I shook off her hold, moving with urgency toward the stairs. My heart pounded in my chest, and I couldn’t make sense of what was happening. The need to see myself i
