One month earlier. I left the aftermath of my slaughter a month ago, Garrett as mysteriously disappeared. I thought he was dead but, now I am not so sure since I never found his body or anything in the area untouched. I even searched the whole lake and nothing.
I had just arrived home when I received a call from Charles. He is another Vampire, he worked with Garrett and me. He knew about my vendetta against Bathilda and vowed to also help me. I had shown him a picture I still had. Eliza and Bathilda shared tea in England, so he knew who she was and surprisingly recognized her. She had grown up in the Ithaca New York area, where he lived centuries ago.“Hunter! Hunter!” I hear him call out for me. "Chuck, I am in the office," I tell him. “I found her!” That got my attention, there is only one female that would cause him to react like this, only one that would bring such a feeling of recognition and my anger to a boiling poi

We walk around the town, anything to try and pick up her scent. I have been searching for so long now, it has been hours and all I have done is hit dead ends. With the somewhat modern times, I am surprised looking at this town. These witches really must be isolated! Everything in this town has the look and feel of something straight from the middle ages. I feel as if I am on the set of a Lord of the Rings movie. There are small craft shops, baker shops, butcher shops, and an alchemy store. The roads are either cobblestone paved or gravel. It is as if this town was built centuries ago before America was founded, and preserved over time. How in the hell have they stayed so well secluded and away from the public eye? How does the U.S. Government not know of their existence? They are not magically sealed, if they were, Charles and I would not have been able to walk up here.

We sneak back to our guest bedrooms, it is nearly nightfall and I know that soon we will be escorted to dinner. Charles takes his leave back to his room, and I prepare to attend dinner with the queen. I am just finished when a guard approaches and knocks on the door. “The queen requests your presence at dinner”. I nod my head, I already expected this.We stand in the great dining hall awaiting the queen, once she enters we sit, and dinner is served. I stare at the feast presented to us, roasted elk, butter rolls, and various garden greens served with a glass of red wine. Everything looks very delicious, if I were still human, my mouth would be salivating. we dine with the queen and exchange pleasantries. The evening lingers and dinner winds down. Everyone is escorted into a parlor to socialize, I start to let my emotional fog slip to her when she is not expecting it. She is talking with Charles, I know that he is distracting her, she is completely unawar

The flames rise high into the night as the kingdom is scorched as if it is consumed by dragon fire. I still have not found Bathilda, I still feel nothing. I thought that killing her sister would bring me some form of satisfaction. She took the one who I loved most, so made sure Karma was repaid. I took her sisters' life and her entire kingdom. "I thought that I would feel something, at least with the knowledge that I just destroyed her family, like she did mine" I sigh and hang my head in remorse. Charles puts his hand on my shoulder "Hunter, nothing is going to help take the pain away, finding her and getting revenge will be justice". I shake my head. "Well now, she can live with the pain I have been feeling," I say darkly. We start leaving the area, intent on heading back to Chicago. I need to go home and wash this disgusting place off of me. At that moment, we hear the mournful screams of a woman. The pain she is in, and the wailing sounds cause the entire fores

It's been several months now but, I still remember that day when I laid siege to the Witches Kingdom. I thought I would feel "the joy of sweet revenge" but, I felt absolutely nothing. My only short-lived joy was knowing I had finally caught Bathilda, only for it to die after our battle, her sly maneuvers that outdid me, only for her to disappear into the water below. I truly miss Garrett, I never learned what happened to him. I went back several times for a whole year after the hunting trip and never found his body. I had no idea if those freaks ate him or buried him. They did not burn him, there was no smoke…He had just vanished.I am thankful looking back that I found Victor and made a friend. I thought he would have contacted me after I dropped him off at the "Sirens Call". I never expected him to separate from me so soon. I checked in with Maria and to my surprise, he met one of the girls there who is also a Vampire. She is studying Medicine at "Parkside Univer

It's been 5 years since Charles and I have separated, and I am once again living in England. I needed time away, I still have my places in Ithaca and Chicago. I closed up Ithaca a while ago and hired housekeepers to tend the property in my absence, I only come to the house if I am in New York on business, I still have a book store that is working there. My Chicago home Charles checks on for me since he lives close by while heading to our place of work. Charles became Vice President of the company after Garrett's disappearance, and I do not regret the decision, he has done an amazing job. As president, CEO and owner, I am enjoying how much "Eldridge Books" is flourishing, not only in America but, also in England. I need to make these trips every so often, and it is good to return to the old country for myself, to refresh. I have moved my main store from London to Liverpool. I tried returning to London, but the memories of our life were too real, and everything kept hitting me

We drive down the familiar road towards the marina where my yacht is kept. If the girls are not that familiar with me, it does not appear so, they are in for the shock of their life.

I cannot wait to show Luci and Molly around the yacht, or later in the evening when I have Lucinda alone in the cabin. I have grown to really care about her, spending time with her has helped me start to feel normal again. I know that will never fully be the case but, she's given me a sense of belonging that I have not felt in so many years.As we exit the car at the shoreline both of them look around in awe at the docks "Where are you taking us?"

Unknown P.O.VI sit here inside this room trying to imagine how everything I have worked so hard for has gone wrong. Everything was going so well, my plan was working to perfect fruition! Did I mean to cause the pain that Hunter is going through? No, not in the slightest, however, that is life, sometimes a man has to go through pain to find themselves, to unlock the true nature of the person lurking underneath the facade. I know his true self, he is ruthless, a natural killer. Years of his military experience as a sniper said it all, not this so-called “calm and peaceful” person that he is trying desperately to be. I sent my spies out to keep eyes on him long ago. I wanted to test him an

It is a beautiful morning, I cannot contain my happiness I feel. Last weekend, the yacht cruise I shared with them was heavenly. It has helped me to develop a deeper relationship with Lucinda and Molly. Being with Lucinda, sharing every experience and every passionate moment with her has awoken my long-dead heart. I know now that she was who I should have married if only I had met her first. Her fierceness, her strength, her love calls to my soul. I start to think of marriage again.As I am lost in thought Molly walks towards me interrupting my reverie "Hunter, I have been wondering something" I turn towards her. "Yes, Molly, what is it?" she looks at the ground shyly, I gaze at her, trying to compel her to continue. Honestly, there is something very special about Molly, I do not know if it is the result of her taking some of my blood to heal her, no matter how small amount but, I cannot hear her thoughts, and none of my gifts work on her, she's like a psychological shield.

The look on her face is confused but, with the knowledge that she is in trouble. ‘Yeah, you’re sweet little ass is in trouble for the little stunt you pulled!’ Mr. Gregory turns to the sound, and barks at her “Ms. Williams, clean that mess up!” she immediately lowers herself and does as she is asked. I want to scold him for his attitude but, he is not aware of our history. Instead, I approach her and help her. “Mr. Eldridge, you don’t have to help me,” she says “Mr. Eldridge? Have you forgotten me?” I ask her in a very low voice. She looks at me, she is trying to hide her longing. Eliza is pushing through, I know it.“My office in two hours, you have some explaining to do” I whisper to her. I stand up and walk away.

Chapter 45I continue to drive around Portland, feeling like I am going nowhere, or have nowhere to go. I am terrified to come home and find her gone. I know that she would need her space, she should be a thousand miles away from me. It would be for her safety however, I also wonder what she meant by ‘being watched all her life” did someone already know about her before I did? Was it because she discovered the truth? Either way, that means she has been in danger for years. That is a scary thought, I am thankful that no one has attempted to harm her. I drive back to the penthouse, heart feeling like ice, as I walk inside and find her gone.

Chapter 44The next morning, I lay in bed in her arms again. I feel so blissfully happy however, the horrors of yesterday's events are fresh in my mind. I am ecstatic that she agreed to move in with me so suddenly but, this still spells danger! She is being hunted by that psychotic bitch, because of me! I do not know how she found out about her but, I know secrets never stay hidden in the Vampire world. I need to be honest with her and tell her the truth before Bathilda comes for her. I turn to my side in the bed and watch her dream. I could stare at her sleep forever, she is so beautiful, and I love that she is mine
The Beloved Chapter 43
Chapter 43I held her throughout the night, as her body shook and she sobbed at not only the horrific sight she witnessed but, the slaughter of her apartment. I rocked her all night long until she fell asleep in my arms. I laid her on my bed, and she snuggled into my scent. I watched her sleep for a few hours swearing an oath to protect her. Suddenly, I started to feel a crawling sensation go through me, my gums started to tingle. With horror, I realized then, that the beast at bay has only been laying dormant purposefully. It was waiting to have her here, so it could strike. I wrenched myself away from her, in detest of myself with a heavy heart, how could I have made her feel so safe when I was just as dangerous?

I would not change anything about Camille, she everything that my wife was plus more. I feel like she connects with me on deeper levels than my wife did. I softly caress he
The Beloved Chapter 41
Chapter 41Later that night, I lay in bed and felt relaxed. More relaxed than I had in a very long time. I felt as if my long-dead heart and lost soul were starting to feel at peace. All these years without my soulmate. So many decades of grief and despair since she was taken from me. It was the first night in so long, I nearly came close to sleeping again. Not humanistic sleeping but a sense of rest that some Vampires are able to obtain. Once this happens, they look asleep but, their mind is in a coma-like state of contentment until they are awakened by their love. I have heard it happening once some Vampires meet their destined soulmate. I have longed for such an experience. I need to keep a sharp eye now, that I have Camille. I am aware tha
