THE STING OF THE VAMPIRE'S BITE EPISODE 10
DAMIEN'S POVI leaned back in the cold, stone chair of the tower, letting the silence settle around me. The air was thick with the scent of iron—blood. Lord Seth stood a few feet away, watching me closely, his sharp gaze never wavering. His presence, as always, was unsettling. He had been the one I left in charge, the one who maintained order in my absence. Yet now, he stood there, arms crossed, questions heavy in the air.“What is going on, Draven?” Seth’s voice broke through the quiet, laced with suspicion. His eyes narrowed as he studied me, then flicked to the wooden bowl of blood I held in my hands. “Who’s that girl you brought here? I smelled your venom in her. Who is she?”I didn’t answer right away, staring down into the bowl of blood. The liquid was dark, rich, and inviting. With a swift movement, I brought the bowl to my lips and drank deeply, the blood sliding down my throat in a satisfying, warm rush. I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand, savouring the way it still fu

DAMIEN Keilah's eyes flared with fury, her entire body trembling as she spoke through clenched teeth. "Take me back to my home, and I don't ever want to see you again—ever." Her voice was sharp, filled with a venomous edge. Before I could say anything, she turned and started walking away, her movements sharp and rigid, like every step was fueled by her anger. I reached out, catching her hand to stop her and explain myself. “Keilah, wait—”She whirled around, her hand flying, and before I could react, the sting of her slap snapped my head to the side. “Don’t you fucking touch me,” she hissed, her eyes dark with rage.I let go of her, raising my hands in surrender. “Fine,” I said, my voice calm. She then turned on her heels again. I took a deep breath, trying to keep my voice steady. "That kiss meant nothing, if that’s what made you angry. I wasn’t trying to—” I paused, “I just wanted to see something.”She stopped in her tracks, her eyes narrowing into dangerous slits. Then, in a ru

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

DAMIEN Ralph let out a frustrated growl. "Africa? Are you serious?"Sylra gave him a pointed look. "Do I look like I'm joking?"Dahlia sighed, rubbing her forehead. "Okay, fine. Where exactly in Africa?"Sylra hesitated for a moment before answering. "Uganda.Ralph let out a scoff. “Great, I’ve never even heard of Uganda before.”Sylra rolled her eyes. “Not my problem. But if you want your girlfriend back, you better figure it out fast.” There's an elder there, a powerful fae who might be able to help you."I exhaled sharply, running a hand through my hair. "Might?"She shrugged. "Depends on his mood."Ralph cursed under his breath. "Great. So we have to fly across the world to beg some moody fae elder for help?""Pretty much," Sylra said flatly.I glanced at Seth, who had been quiet the entire time. He met my gaze and gave a small nod. We didn’t have a choice."Fine," I said. "Give us his name and where to find him."Sylra stepped back into her house, leaving us standing there. A f

DAMIEN I parked the car at the side of the road, the wheels crunching over gravel as I threw it into park. I turned to Seth, keeping my voice steady but firm. "Stay in the car. I’ll be right back."Seth didn’t say anything, just nodded as I got out of the car. I walked to the backseat, opened the door, and carefully lifted Marina into my arms. Her body was cold, unnervingly still.As I moved towards the woods, I noticed Ralph getting out of his car right behind mine. He didn’t say anything, just leaned against the side of his car, his arms crossed. He wasn’t trying to make this more complicated than it already was.James met me halfway as I carried Marina, walking quietly beside me, his eyes scanning the forest. We made our way towards the boundary where the barrier that separated the woods from Greenery Village stood visible, a shimmering line of magic hanging in the air. It felt like stepping into another world, one that was both calming and dangerous at the same time.When we reac

DAMIEN I clenched my fists so tightly that my nails cut into my palms, drawing blood. The scent of it filled the air, but I ignored it. The urge to destroy something—anything—coursed through me, but I forced myself to stay still. Losing control would get me nothing. Seth spun me around by my shoulder with a rough jerk, forcing me to face him. A guttural growl rumbled in his throat, his eyes burning with fury. "Where is Garbie? Did she go with the human?" His voice was sharp, laced with accusation and barely contained rage. A snarl erupted from Ralph before I could even respond. "She fucking has a name," he snapped, stepping toward Seth, his wolf flickering beneath his skin. Seth didn’t even glance at him. His glare stayed fixed on me as he spat, "To fucking hell I care about that." His chest heaved with frustration as he ran a hand through his hair before stabbing a finger in my direction. "I never liked that little thing from the first time you brought her here, and now look—she
THE STING OF THE VAMPIRE'S BITE EPISODE 69
KEILAH A deep, bone-chilling growl rumbled through the air, cutting through the steady downpour. My breath hitched. The creatures didn’t move, but I could feel their presence pressing in, watching.“How do we stop the rain?” I whispered, my voice barely audible over the storm.Garbie let out a frustrated sigh. “If I knew, we wouldn’t still be here!”I clenched my fists. My soaked clothes clung to me, making the cold settle deeper into my skin. I could barely tell where my trembling ended and the shivers from the cold began.I tilted my head slightly, careful to keep my eyes shut. “What if… what if we change the way we feel about it?”“What?” Garbie asked, confused.“The rain,” I said quickly. “What if it feeds off fear? I mean, think about it—when it started, we panicked. What if that’s what made it stronger?”Garbie went quiet again, then, after a moment, said, “That’s ridiculous… but I have no better idea, so let’s try it.”Before I could concentrate my mind, a strange, hollow soun
THE STING OF THE VAMPIRE'S BITE EPISODE 68
KEILAH The world spun violently around me as I tumbled down the rocky hill, my body rolling uncontrollably over jagged stones and patches of rough dirt. Pain shot through me with every impact, but I couldn’t stop. I had no control over my descent, and the speed at which I was falling only increased with every passing second.Above me, I could hear Garbie’s frantic voice, shouting something I couldn’t make out. My head slammed against the ground, sending a sharp, dizzying pain through my skull. I gasped, my arms flailing, trying to find something—anything—to stop my fall. But the hill was too steep, too cruel, and all I could do was brace for the inevitable.Then, suddenly, my body collided with a thick patch of grass, soft compared to the harsh terrain above. The impact still knocked the air from my lungs, but it slowed me enough to let me twist and dig my hands into the dirt. My fingers curled around a thick root, and I clung to it desperately, my chest heaving as I fought to catch

RALPH I watched her, every muscle in my body tense with a mixture of rage and something far darker—something I couldn't name. Her lips, soft and warm against mine, had been a shock to my senses. I could feel the bond snap into place the moment she kissed me, my wolf roared to life. It was everything I needed to reconnect with the beast inside me, but nothing had prepared me for the flood of emotions that came with it.I pulled away, gasping for air, my eyes snapping open to find Keilah still frozen in place, her expression unreadable. I saw it, though—the conflict, the confusion, the pain in her eyes. She wasn’t unaffected. She felt it, too. But her body was betraying her. She hated me. I could see it in every movement, in every cold, calculating glance she sent my way.I swallowed the anger rising in my throat, my chest tightening. “Damn it,” I muttered under my breath, pushing away from her.I needed to control myself. I couldn’t let her see how much it had affected me. My wolf was
THE STING OF THE VAMPIRE'S BITE EPISODE 66
KEILAH I let out a frustrated sigh and flopped back onto the bed, staring at the ceiling. My choice? Was it really?If I didn’t do this, Ralph’s wolf would never get back to him, and he’d slowly waste away. But why should I care? Why did it have to be me who saved him?A bitter laugh escaped me.I hated him. I wanted to hate him. But deep down, a part of me still ached at the thought of him suffering.Closing my eyes, I whispered, “Damn it.”I let out a tired sigh and got up, smoothing the sheets on Damien’s bed. It was a small act, but it kept my hands busy—kept my mind from spiraling. Once the bed was neat, I headed out and into my room to clean up. As I stepped inside, my lips twitched in amusement. Garbie was curled up on my bed, sleeping soundly. A quiet laugh escaped me. “I remember her saying she's a vampire who doesn't get tired,” I murmured to myself. “But look at her, sleeping like a peaceful tired toddler.” Shaking my head, I grabbed some clothes and headed to the

KEILAH I stirred, my body heavy with exhaustion. Even as I drifted toward wakefulness, the weight of last night pressed down on me. My mind felt sluggish, tangled in the strange events that had unfolded. With a quiet sigh, I turned over, reaching instinctively for Damien—only to feel empty sheets beneath my fingertips. My eyes snapped open. The spot beside me was cold. He had been gone for a while. I sat up slowly, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. My head still ached from the restless night. No matter how much I tried to push it away, the same question haunted me. What the hell happened to me last night?A sudden knock at the door made me jolt. My heart pounded as my mind instantly jumped to the worst possibility—Ralph. I swallowed hard, my fingers tightening around the blanket. I wasn’t in the mood for a fight, not after the night I’d had. If he saw me here, in Damien’s room, I already knew the argument that would follow. Then, a sharp wave of irritation hit me. Why am

DAMIEN Marina groaned as she sat up, clutching her head. Her fingers trembled as she reached for her dagger, the runes on its blade glowing faintly. “That wasn’t supposed to happen,” she muttered, her voice laced with both frustration and awe.Everyone scrambled to their feet, their eyes wide with alarm. “That surge… it wasn’t just residual magic. Something is on the other side.”Seth cursed under his breath, rubbing his shoulder where he had landed hard against the ground. “If we weren’t the ones stopping it, then who the hell is keeping it open?”I exhaled sharply, wiping the dust from my face. “We need to regroup. Marina, can you try again?”She hesitated, her gaze locked onto the swirling vortex. “I don’t know if that’s a good idea. If something is resisting me, then it’s either aware of us… or it’s trying to come through.”A deep, resonant sound echoed from the portal, like the groan of an ancient beast waking from slumber. The air vibrated with raw energy, and I felt the unmist
