Unknown P.O.V
It has been several weeks since I sent my spies to track down Hunter in the Liverpool area. As I am sitting in my lounge my mate comes in with my other love. It is not natural for a Vampire to have two mates however, I do not live by society's expectations. The moment I met Veronica one night, I claimed her as mine. I had known her for a long time, I just needed the moment to act. She was strong and vibrant to survive the transformation.I open my arms for them, they both embrace me and start to kiss me, sucking on my neck. Veronica bites and feeds while I kiss my other mate. "Shall we go upstairs, sir?" Veronica asks me while the other starts to feed. "No, I am expecting news back from the trackers who I sent out to look for Hunter Eldridge" Veronica looks at me in question, recognition slight flashes across her eyes before it is quickly gone, I worry whether she is recovering her memory until she shrugs and snuggles into my side. JustAfter hours of driving, we arrived in the Highlands of Scotland. I am looking forward to the weekend of camping with my two beauties. I am falling so in love with Lucinda, we have never talked about her past however, after the revelations that were unveiled in the car, I feel it is important before we move forward with our lives.I am starting to suspect that Molly is more than meets the eye, in fact, I am not sure if I heard correctly but, when she was fighting with her mother, it almost seemed like she growled. That is not a human response, what is Molly? Who is her real father? Do I have anything to worry about? I cannot escape the feeling that he's a supernatural creature. For years I thought he was perhaps human, however, when her recent behavior changes, I am starting to question it. As her eighteenth birthday approaches she is starting to slowly change.I watch her from the car as she walks off, she's grown into an elegant young woman. She is well-groomed, tall, s
I hang up the phone with that filthy bloodsucker, and I am in a state of rage. How dare he call me and taunt me. How dare he tell me such wretched things! I have no idea what harm this will do to my current family if it is true. Pure-blooded wolves do not take kindly to half breeds, since I am Alpha and this happened so long ago this means that Molly is rightfully my heir. I have no idea how my mate that has been by my side all these years is going to accept this. First, before I make any sudden moves, I needed to find out the truth. I call for my Beta "Xavier!" he runs into the room "Yes Alpha!" I deeply inhale and let it out, I do not know how to do this but, I must. "I need you to do me a favor, I just received a call from a nemesis, a Vampire, you know who" his eyes go wide "Yes Alpha, he is detestable, why is he bothering you?" I close my eyes and shake my head. "I need to tell you something but, you can't tell Luna! I will once I know the truth of what he said on t
The next day we all spent time together but, there was something definitely off with Lucinda.I continued to feel someone's presence lurking in the trees, and I knew that it would not be long before I found out who it was. Judging by Lucinda's reactions, the way her eyes kept on darting into the trees and denying that something was bothering her. She knew exactly what might be going on, and I did not know how to make her tell me without using my mental abilities. I knew though if she saw through that she would hate me. I was left waiting for her to open up but, with Lucinda, that could be never.As night fell, the girls started to prepare to retire into their tents to fall asleep. I, however, do not necessarily need sleep, it is during this time that I leave Lucinda and Molly to hunt. I decide to take a drive out of the area, I have already realized by the pungent odor of wet dog that there is a Werewolf clan nearby. I wondered all day why Lucinda was off belie
I drove all night trying to calm the beast within me, after what just happened, and all of the shocking truths that have transpired over the last few weeks, I was not sure if Luci was the true person for me anymore. I loved her so much yet, how can I trust her? I had been getting the suspicion awhile ago that she was keeping secrets from me, and as time went on I started to understand they revolved around Molly. I understood part of her reasoning however, I could not agree with it. I knew she was still brokenhearted after Molly's father abandoned them, and I thought that if I ever met the man I would annihilate the person for acting as such. Now, meeting him, I understood it, he had no idea he was a father, meaning he would have found it hard to leave if he had. How could Lucinda have been that heartless? If it were me, I would want to know as well, it was his right as a parent! She revealed herself to be so selfish that she would completely isolate Molly even from any family at all
We searched for days never finding Lucinda. Rydon had looked briefly since it is his daughter's mother. After hours of searching, he received a mindlink and needed to return to his pack. This situation was difficult enough, he would only look because she was a human and his loyalties were to protect his pack and human life but, he had no feelings for her anymore except now possibly hate for the shocking truths that unraveled during this entire camping trip. I promised him that I would arrange for Molly to associate with him one more time before we leave after we find Lucinda, and Molly agreed to spend time with him sometime in the future.I had never expected to meet Lucinda's former lover, I had never expected him to be a werewolf, let alone an Alpha. I was still infuriated with her about the previous night with the fight between the three of us. This revelation really showed her true colors to me, and I questioned whether she ever loved me if she could treat her own d
I remember that was one of the longest days of my existence. Molly and I endured the long drive back to Liverpool in grief-stricken silence. Neither of us talks about what happened. The tension and bitter emotions in the car were suffocating. Somehow, what had started as a family camping trip turned into tragedy. I racked my brain trying to understand what the Fuck went wrong! We stopped at a service station to fill up on gas. I made my way inside to buy some chocolate for Molly, she cried her eyes dry as she slept during the drive. I know how it is to lose a parent, nothing will except time dulls the pain. I am grateful to be here with her, no one should suffer it alone.In the following weeks, I had informed her parents about the accident. I had met her father once at Molly's Graduation. I only wish life did not go this way. Lucinda made bad choices by excluding her family without giving a legitimate reason now, she is lost to them forever. Their comfort and mine are
It feels like it has been forever since I have seen my old friend Victor Nelson. Seeing him show up surprisingly in front of the building where my penthouse resides was a true delight. We embraced each other and took a stroll along the beachfront of Lake Michigan in Chicago by Navy pier. It was amazing to catch up with him since he has been absent from my life for so many years. I inquired how his mate is doing, where he is in life now. I was pleased to learn that he and his mate her very happy together, she helped him redirect his life, and he became a lawyer. I invited him to join my legal team, and be my official legal advisor if he will accept it.Later that night we enjoyed ourselves like old times. we traveled out of the city and painted each town we happened across red while satiating our thirsts. After hours of hunting, I do not even realize that I am once again in the clearing of anguish from so many years ago. The cabin is still there, a bit weathered by natur
Over the next few weeks it seems as if my life was filled with neverending chaos. An endless parade of meetings, media appearances and paparrazzi. Filthy parasites! and werewolves give me derogatory names. Paparazzi make me want to go on a killing spree and suck them all dry! Trying to walk out of my apartment building during common hours of the day is daunting, they are literally right in my face at times. When they begin to pester me too much I improvise, solve my problem, by inviting them over for a "night cap" of my own. I still remember last week, during an evening which was a really difficult day for me. I felt so suffocated, I had not hunted in what felt like awhile, and a photographer, who could have been gorgeous if given the right style clothing, would not stop pestering me, she was very bold and in my face. I snapped, compelled her to come to my Penthouse in the late hours. That was a very entertaining night, we spent long hours tangled in my guest bedroom sheets, as I sa
Six months, it has been pure torture. Camille slipped into a coma. I had to inform Allison, who informed all of her family. Due to the destruction of the building, I switch all of my New York staff to virtual claiming that I was remodeling to building, effectively immediately. These past months have been pure agony. Doctors are skeptical that she will never wake up. I know my Camille though, she is a fighter! She will be alright! She has to be! I have been hell on wheels with the doctors trying to pull her plug. When they are not aware, I feed her some of my blood, anything to help give her further healing. I stayed by her side every single day, rarely leavi
Chapter 48 Over the past year of my life, I have been living in bliss, I am still hyperaware of Bathilda’s threat. I have arranged security for Camille, and after a few months of dating she said she could not tolerate the idea of myself not waking up next to her so, she agreed to move in with me. I have never been happier. I know that things are going to change soon, Bathilda and her little group are deciding to play their hand. The tole of human casualties has started to rise. It is starting to make headlines, even for New York. I understand this, it is a challenge of my power. They want me to be Abner, they are going to continue to make the death toll rise until I do something about it. I am also aware of the threats I have been
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.
I left the Oregon mountain range, with a sole purpose in my mind. I needed to find Camille!I cannot believe that she abruptly left the way she did! No, goodbye, Nothing! The mere idea is painful. Do I mean nothing to her? Was I originally on sex ride all along? No, I cannot think like that! I know that Camille does not willing to do that with her teachers, and I felt Eliza’s pull towards me. What the fuck happened? I am not going to get any answers here! I need to leave. New York City here I come. I arrive back in Portland, I inform my brother of my imminent departure, I inform him that I need to return home, and apologize for any inconvenience it may cause. My brother as always is completely understanding and wishes me a safe tri
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
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?
Chapter 42Things definitely escalated quicker than I expected but, I would not change it for the world. I have not felt this happy in decades. Even now as I lay here, wrapped up in her arms, caressing her naked back. She sighs as she snuggles further into my side. I cannot believe that after all this time, through all the emotional turmoil I have gone through, she is back in my life!” I know this form is not the true Eliza however, I am still as overjoyed. 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
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
