2024-10-29 19:42:56Kat slept most of the rest of the flight, rather than have to communicate with Mikhail or the Captain, she decided to just curl up with her back to them and get some rest. She had no idea what was going to happen once they landed, best to be prepared.
.
As she was woken up and the plane landed the Captain shook out a length of chain and clipped it to the short chain between her cuffs. She looked up at him with a sour expression. He chose not to look her in the eye but instead turned away and faced the door of the plane as the steward opened it and they saw the stairs that had been put up to the side of the plane with the whole plane now inside a large hangar.
As the door opened the Captain cursed under his breath.
“Problem, Captain?” Mikhail asked snidely.
The Captain flashed a warning look at Mikhail and clucked his tongue. Kat wondered the same thing, the Captain was suddenly acting very antsy, she strained up on her toes to try and l

Kat had been sitting in the windowless room for, she guesstimated, about an hour now…She was bored…and as she looked at the empty plate still in front of her on the table, getting hungry again.She fiddled with the cuffs around her wrists, they were tight from all the pulling on the chain and they were getting uncomfortable as she saw her skin was red and raw looking underneath.The lock on the door clicked bringing her eyes up to it as it opened.General Batton walked in with a pleasant smile and holding another tasty morsel for her. The smell of its heavenly bar-b-que goodness filling Kat’s nostrils and making her salivate again.Batton sat down opposite her and placed the large t-bone down on the table, appraising Kat as she once again sat up, her nostrils flaring as her eyes went from his face to the uncovered plate then to his face and so on.“I’m pleased you waited so nicely, well done.” Batton pr

As they walked through the halls Kat kept her eyes down, but furtively glanced left and right as she was led by the General. She noticed the opulence increasing as they moved from the basic areas for the guards and servants to the living areas of royalty and associated pure blood ranks. She flinched and shrank back when she saw the occasional vampire drift passed as they paused to curiously watch the General pass by them with a tasty morsel behind. They approached a wide sweeping marble staircase that reminded Kat of the one in Ruben’s mansion and as they reached the landing it had a similar feel with the darkened hallway lit only by small glowing lamps along one wall. She felt General Batton’s hand touch her hip and looked up at his back realising he had stopped. He pushed her behind his back as he spoke to someone in front of him. Kat kept her eyes to the ground. “Lord Echron…” The General bowed his head slightly as the other vampire drifted up. Kat followed his shadow wishing sh

There was a discreet quiet knock on the door and Kat’s eyebrows shot up in apprehension as she tensed in her seat. Batton frowned a warning glance at her and held his hand up. “Easy…” He went to the door as Kat dropped back in her seat, wary and watchful. He didn’t open it very wide so Kat couldn’t see who was on the other side but she could plainly hear them talking as Batton didn’t try to conceal their conversation which told Kat the door was kept mostly closed to block sight of her from the person on the other side not the other way around. “Sergeant, did you retrieve all the items?” “Yes, General, sir.” Kat saw Batton reach out and his hand reappeared holding two tote bags strung over his fingers while he perched a show box upon the palm of his hand. “Well done, Sergeant…thank you.” Batton dismissed him and closed the door. Kat looked at his intense gaze as he turned back to face her. “Shower. Now.” Kat grimaced and stared silently at the General. His jaw ticked as his gla

General Batton was putting his uniform jacket back on and settling his peaked hat over his eyes ready to leave.“You remember what I said on the coach over here about his Majesty?”Kat’s mouth pressed to a hard line. “Submission…”“Indeed…now I am not your mate, and I’m sure his Highness the Prince has you well under his control…”Kat humphed in amusement causing Batton’s eyebrows to raise in alarm. “Are you telling me you are not submissive to your alpha mate?”Kat thought about it and shrugged. “I guess so…”“You guess so?” Batton exclaimed.He’s in my head, can shut my power off from me and over power me…if that’s what you mean?”“Not exactly…” Batton’s face went like a dark cloud as he rubbed his forehead. “Fuck…I don’t have time for this.&

Kat had expected a throne room so was surprised to see it looked more like a sprawling office.As she furtively looked around from under her brows she saw a massive ornate desk, a fireplace, bookcases lining one wall, all over one side of the room. On the other side a large black velvet chaise lounge sat upon a low dais with a deep red shaggy rug lain in front of it on the floor level with her. On the rug was scattered several large cushions where lay and sat several young women, barely clothed. They all looked half comatose and Kat felt a little shudder run through her as she couldn’t quite lift her eyes enough to see the face of the man who was languidly lying upon the chaise lounge above them who obviously had them all held enthralled.A few guards lined the walls they heads bowed so they looked at the floor the whole time. They all snapped to attention at the presence of the General, saluted impressively in perfect co-ordination, then resumed their ‘at

“Ah…pity…I had almost forgotten he was supposed to be here…” King Luisette murmured in her ear as he sat up slightly but made no effort to move away from her as they both turned their heads to look.As Mikhail strode in and up to the edge of the red rug Luisette’s voice was clear and sharp. “You’re late, Lord Semenov.”Kat noticed Mikhail didn’t come in alone, he was accompanied by another, clearly announced as his Sire. As the head of his clan he was obliged to represent his chosen heir. She also noticed the flash of ire in Mikhail’s eyes at seeing Kat sitting on the King’s seat with the King basically draped all over her enjoying himself immensely.Mikhail and his Sire bowed low before Lusiette as he looked at them with a raised eyebrow.“We apologise, your Majesty…ah…” Lord Semenov started.Mikhail had leaned back on one leg and placed his hands

As General Batton walked out of the King’s reception room and the official followed, shutting the doors behind them, he turned and looked Kat over as she stood calmly looking up at him as they waited for the official to organise official documents and bring him the King’s seal allowing him to enter the King’s quarters.“Oh my…there she is…see what I mean…” The voice of Lord Echron had them both turning their heads.“Lord Echron, what do you think you are doing?” General Batton grumbled, seeing Echron standing there with two other vampires, huddled together all staring with hungry eyes at Kat.“General.” One of the others spoke. “We wish to know what species she is and whether others are able to be acquired?”Kat shuddered as she glared at them. Were vampires really like this?General Batton put his hand up in front of her face and clicked his fingers at her in wa

As the doors boomed closed again Kat was already darting to the windows and inspecting them for any latches or locks…finding that none of them opened. This room was truly sealed and she wondered if the glass would even break if she tried to smash them.She wandered back over to her original seat and collapsed down in it, her eyes drifted to the double doors at the other end of the room. They were painted a blood red and instead of lion’s heads these had dragons upon them painted in black. The doors looked very oriental to Kat’s eyes but it was what lay beyond them that she mused at.King Luisette’s bedroom…There was no way she was going to give in to her curiosity and open the doors…no way in hell…even if the bathroom was in there, she would rather burst. Not that she needed to go right now, she would have to monitor her fluid intake as she had no idea how long she would have to wait.She dozed after inspecti

Kat felt faint and sleepy all of a sudden, collapsing to her knees before slumping to the ground, closing her eyes on the sight of Ruben and Michael within the golden column of light. She called out his name softly before falling into a deep sleep as she was enveloped within the same golden light, appearing to grow transparent before she vanished from the Demon King’s throne room completely just as the golden column of light, Ruben and Michael also vanished. . When she awoke she found herself lying in a meadow on the side of a mountain capped with snow. She sat up and looked around to discover she was surrounded by these amazing snow-capped mountains. In the distance sat a great castle overlooking the valleys below with a river ambling between. Kat saw Ruben standing not too far away on the edge of a small precipice, looking out at the view, his hands casually in his pockets and his hair blowing in the gentle breeze that also blew the long grass around her. Kat stood up and walked

It was a half hour wait filled with the Demon King going about his business completely ignoring Ruben and Kat as they were ushered to the side and given seats, something to drink and eat and treated by the courtiers like honoured guests.“Ruben, what are you going to do if they do return you to the human realm?” Kat asked under her breath, hardly wanting to be caught speaking.He frowned as he looked at her. “What do you mean?”“Well, you are the proper King…won’t they want you to return to being their King if you return?”Ruben scratched his cheek and shrugged. “I suppose they will…but I don’t want it and I know you don’t want to return to that place…so I guess I’ll have to abdicate…”“Won’t that put the General’s position in jeopardy?”Ruben’s eyebrow raised as he heard her concern for the General. “Perhaps…he currently has the palace under Marshall Law…but what is it you are trying to say? You don’t want to go back to the Terran Realm?”Kat shook her head. “I would just rather be a

“However…I know the story behind Basille’s apparent desperation to flaunt the rules and decide to try and recreate a being he should have never fallen for…” The Demon King stated with a little patient smile. “Shall I tell it to you?”“Yes, please…” Kat whispered, her voice not wanting to come out of her.The Demon King grinned and lunged forward, scooping an arm around Kat’s waist and dragging her round and up onto his lap. He placed a hand on top of her head sending a calming sleepy spell over her, making her compliant and still as she dropped back against his chest and looked up at him with a dreamy smile as he patted her and rubbed her ears like a pet.Ruben lurched to his feet, his fists clenched and surrounded by a blue flame. “Let her go!”The Demon King flicked his fingers, not even looking away from Kat’s dreamy expression and Ruben was sent flying back through the hall and crashing into one of the gigantic marble pillars, dropping like a stone to the floor.He coughed blood,

The Demon King was huge and sat upon an impressively massive throne that covered the entire back wall from floor to ceiling like organ pipes in a cathedral. Ruben’s eyes narrowed as he took in the mighty beast languishing on his throne. He was clearly about twelve feet tall, long black hair fell down to his shoulders as two foot long curled black horns stuck through it on either side of his forehead. He was chiselled and cruel looking, his eyes were literally flaming, swirling with red, orange and yellow, the pupils slits, where the sclera were usually white his were black and bottomless. He was dressed in a black house coat embroidered with gold thread depicting dragons, his bare chest and astonishing abdominal muscles were displayed with arrogant pride. His black leather pants tight to his thick thighs. At his feet were two demon girls, fawning over him. They were beautiful and both had long forked tails and tiny horns. They both turned and hissed at Ruben’s approach showing their

As Ruben stepped into the private rooms at the top of a massive tower that were once occupied by Basille he looked around with distaste before looking up and gasping. “Holy shit, this is not what I expected…” The entire ceiling was see-through to the sky like a massive atrium. It was dark outside and they could see a million stars twinkling down on them. Kat hugged her arms around herself as she looked around the room with a small pout. “Even though this room was Basille’s it was my most favourite room in the whole castle.” She looked up at the sky with a whimsical smile. Folding his arms and setting his feet only a foot over the threshold Ruben frowned darkly. “As lovely as that is…why do you think I would want to stay here?” Kat turned back to regard him, her lips pursed. “Where else? This really is the best rooms in the whole dreary castle.” Ruben scowled at the rudimentary furniture and the large wooden four poster bed with a mattress that looked like it was stuffed with a mi
The Demon Contract 98
After tidying themselves up they walked out of the catacombs and back up into the palace. Kat startled to see a small group of vampires waiting for them, amongst them was King Adicus Luisette, now wearing his crisp uniform jacket but instead of his peaked hat he wore the simple gold crown and looking very dashing. He smiled at them as everyone else applauded politely. Kat turned her head in embarrassment to see Ruben laughing with delight. He stepped forward and started shaking hands with the people waiting as they gave him their congratulations. Kat stayed where she was not sure if she should follow him or not. A voice behind her made her spin around with shock as Ruben did the same, grinning from ear to ear. “How about a hello to your favourite childhood friend?” Vladimir was standing there in all his flouncy glory, a young noble looking man standing behind him, both dressed up to the nines with frilly shirts and outrageous velvet suits. “Vladimir!” Ruben shouted with amazement.

Kat was enduring the preparations of her eternal bonding with Ruben. He had left her in the charge of the two fae women from Luisette’s harem, where she had been instructed to soak in a bath full of goat’s milk in which a drop of Ruben’s blood had been added, then showered clean, her hair and makeup done.Kat was dressed in a stunning gown of black, with a corseted waist and long straight skirt. Her wealth of golden blond hair shined like real gold in the flickering candle light from the hundreds of candles that lined the crypt like room as she was led by Von Dulce down into the catacombs under the palace.She looked around the circular room, with many tunnels leading off, with a little apprehension knowing down here was where many vampire rested in long sleep. Now, including King Luisette.She turned as she heard movement and saw Ruben and Batton walk out of one such tunnel, their faces grim after having just laid King Luisette to rest.Ruben, was wearing a matching black suit, the v
The Demon Contract 95
They made quick work of rounding up the Lords they needed, as soon as they opened the doors to the rooms and the vampires saw the great demon as the shadows crept in behind them they quickly made their way down the halls with no great objections, their expressions grim and wary as they were herded towards their destination of the Throne room. As they all stepped in they gasped as they saw Ruben sitting upon the Throne looking very regal with the King’s robes around his shoulders and the inert body of King Alessandro Luisette lying upon the couch to one side. Ruben watched them with an eagle like stare as they were herded in and grouped together, surrounded by soldiers. General Batton stepped up the dais steps and took position to Ruben’s left as the demon cat jumped up and stood on Ruben’s right. Ruben reached out a hand and placed it on Kat’s head as she smooched it affectionately. Lord Echron stepped forward, his face livid. “What’s the meaning of all this! If you wanted the thro

As Ruben walked into the throne room he looked around and surprisingly saw Von Dulce sitting behind his desk, frantically scribbling something down on a piece of paper. Ruben and Batton looked at each other before Ruben coughed for Von Dulce’s attention. He looked up and paled to see both General Batton and Prince Ruben standing together. “You…” He stuttered. “You’re in on this together?” He gaped at them with fear of the unknown. Ruben gave him a reassuring smile. “Relax, we aren’t going to throw you out of office…” “You’re not?” Von Dulce gulped, a little relieved. “No…in fact we need you to help make this transition go smoothly…” Ruben looked down at the desk with a curious frown. “What are you writing?” Von Dulce gave a nervous laugh and rubbed the back of his neck. “Instructions…for whomever took over the administration of the palace…” Ruben raised an eyebrow at him. “Wait, you thought you were going to be executed or something and so diligently wrote down instructions for y
