Edwin was looking at her sister who was looking adoringly at her husband. He knew that Emily loved Ian and Edwin can sense that the marquis of Kain was a very good man. But can Edwin trust him enough not too hard his sister while he was away again? Edwin focused on the choker that Emily wore, knowing what that meant.Knowing that Lord Dorian Hassildor, the marquis of Kain, was one of them. And he had converted Emily to his side.Edwin sighed, looking at the tea before sipping it. He knew that coming here was a mistake but he cannot leave Emily to be with her husband. But it would seem that he was mistaken for Emily had vowed to be with Ian forever. And perhaps I have to make do with that fact now, he mused before Edwin was smiling at the young couple. He put his teacup down, smiling as he was intertwining his fingers together. "Well I suppose I tell you why I ask for this visit with you, Emily," Edwin said as he was taking a deep breath. Then, he spoke his true intention of the visit.

Lord Thomas Rambova, the sixth Earl of Raine, was known as Tom to his friends, was looking at the lavish wedding reception that his friend, The Marquis of Kain, was having for his wedding to one Lady Emily Moore, the daughter of late Lord and Lady Moore.“Why do I even bother to be here, this is not my scene anyway,” he mumbled as he was sipping on the blood-laced wine that was handing out to the guests, especially the gentries from the Higher Court that were attending this reception.“I can see that you are ready to bolt out of here,” Lord Daniel Cutler, who ruled over the mining region, Vyckos, up in the south, was smirking at Thomas as the earl was rolling his eyes at his friend.“You know I do,” he said as he was looking around the party. The Ladies were fanning themselves as mamas were trying to match their daughters to the lords who were bachelors. Luckily, no one was near Daniel or Thomas on that matter.They know where to stop aiming higher.Daniel smirked at Thomas as he was

It has been several months after Marquis of Kain’s wedding reception. Tom was looking out the window of the private study of young queen Arabella, the monarch of Niapachad Island. She was married to the prince consort, Aiden as they were sitting at the divan in front of the fireplace as the fire crackled.“So, what did you want me to do for summoning me here?” Tom said as he was sipping on the tea that was being served hot to them. The queen was arching her eyebrow as she was putting down her tea to look at Tom. She smiled at him.“I don’t know what you are talking about, my lord. I asked you to come here because I have an issue to discuss with you,” she said as Tom was groaning inside him. He knew how the queen’s mind worked. She has an ulterior motive for everything that she asks.And this time, it was his turn.Oh, Tom knew alright about how his two friends, the Duke of Belikov and the Marquis of Kain,

Jessie was looking at the approaching traveling carriage that would be carrying her to the coastal city of Royal Lothso which was reigned by the Earl of Raine. She heard the rumors that the earl was a very handsome man. Jessie scoffed.Of course, he is. He’s from the Higher Court after all, she mused as the carriage stopped in front of her. She smiled as she was traveling light and did not look like a Lady at all.“Royal Molftus, Royal Molftus!” The coachman announced before some of the passengers were getting off for their final destination and some were still inside. Jessie was the only one who would be getting into the carriage from Royal Molftus to Royal Lothso.The coachman was nodding at her as she was paying him a Tita, which was equivalent to a Crown, for her passage to the coastal city. She got in before she was settled at the window seat before someone else took the seat beside her.Jessie turned to look at the person

Tom was looking at the lady who was traveling with him in the traveling carriage to the Royal Lothso. He did not take his private carriage as he was trying to find the reason behind the shipment and trades from Royal Molftus to his region were never received.It was bandits that had been benefitting from the thieving.Right now, Tom felt something inside him stirring as he was looking at the black-haired woman in the hands of the leader. He never felt like protecting someone from danger but tonight; her allure and her scent have been driving him crazy with needs.Tom has to make his choice; protect the lady or take down the bandits.But of course, he chose the former, which was the noble cause of the gentry; to protect a lady without thinking of their social status. The lady in question was a peasant, considering her clothes but so was Tom.He was adorning the simple black tunic and breeches with the black cape to match his hat to

“You have to marry me,” the stranger said as Jessie was looking at his violet eyes. She never knew that the eyes would be the ones to open someone’s heart to know their intention. Jessie was looking at the stranger’s uncanny violet orbs before she saw something pooling inside them.Something dark that Jessie wanted to uncover for herself, and only herself.When the stranger was speaking of marriage, Jessie could picture himself being under him every night, on their marriage bed, writhing and begging for him to take her to oblivion. Jessie smiled at him before she leaned forward to the stranger.“And what is your name, milord? I cannot marry someone that I don’t know,” Jessie said as the stranger was blinking his eyes. He would not think that Jessie would agree to marry him, did he? Well, news flashed, she would and this time, she had something that would keep her preoccupied for the rest of her life.&ldq

Yes, Jessie knew all about the gentry and the Porphyria that they were affected by since birth. But there was a slight amount of the gentry, mostly who was married into the gentry, was changed to get the Porphyria and became…A Vampyre.That’s the official term for the gentry by the locals alike as they did not understand what was going on with the gentries coming out at night and sleeping during the day. It has been going on for generations since the first settlers were inhabiting the island.It was just the way it was.Jessie had gone to Tom and straddled his lap as she was pushing him against the trunk. She was looking at him, determined to get him the blood that he needed.“Here, take it. I am offering to you, Tom as repayment for saving my life. Now, I want to save yours,” Jessie said as Tom was breathing hard now. Even harder than before as she was looking at him.“I can’t. I cannot take just any bl

Jessie was startled when she was feeling the warmth that was coming on her face. When she opened her eyes, she was staring at the fire that was lighting up the cave as she was looking at the man who was grilling some fish over the fire.“Oh good, you’re up. Here, the dinner’s almost ready,” Tom said as she was looking at his expert fingers handling the fish grilling and her stomach growled. Now, she wanted the ground to swallow her as Tom was chuckling at her.“Easy now, you can have more of the fish if you want,” Tom said as she was looking at him. Tom has gathered some leaves to put the fish on. Then, he was serving it to her. She was looking at the fish before Tom was biting onto the fish as well.“You still can eat human food?” Jessie as before Tom was looking at her. He swallowed before he was smiling at her.“Why yes. We can eat human food as long as we have blood in our system. The blood that we

ARABELLA“It is a shame that our king and queen were lost and drowned in the shipwreck. Our condolences to Princess Arabella and the Duke of Belikov,” someone from the Higher Court said as I was holding the champagne in my hand. I smiled before I nodded at him and drank my wine. ItWas bubbly but nothing was much worse than pretending that I wanted to be here.I just wanted to be left alone but of course, Niklaus will not let me have my moment.After that, the Lords of the Higher Court were looking at each other before I put the glass down. Then, Lord Davenport spoke as he cleared his throat.“Princess, as we all know, you are in mourning for two weeks and I understand if you think this discussion will not be gracing your ears, but I must insist that you will hear it nonetheless,” he said before I was looking at him, arching my eyebrows.“And what matter is it that you are trying to tell m

ARABELLAI don’t know what to say but to stare at the bodies that the royal guards assured me. I was not going to cry, but when Niklaus hugged me and told me to be strong, tears were starting to accumulate in my eyes.Heat swelled behind them before I was blinking my eyes as I turned to look at my cousin. He was looking solemn before he was patting my shoulder.“Stay strong, Ara. You know you can do it,” he said before I turned to see that he had ordered the guards to put the king and queen’s bodies away before the funeral tomorrow. I looked after the white sheets that covered them and as always, the tears were not coming out.I will not cry. I will be strong. I cannot let them beat me, I reminded myself before I took a deep breath and I went out of the hallway as I was going to my room. Preferably to sleep it off and just to think this was a nightmare.A real nightmare.The next morning came, and I h

Marsh went into the study room and he went up to the decanter that has all sorts of poison for his choice. He took the rum and poured it down into a glass before he was sipping it in one go, leaving a burning taste of it inside his throat.He stopped his glass midway when he was turning on all his senses to hear something. Someone was coming for him and it took all his might not to turn to look at the lady that has been attracting his attention from the start.Marsh knew that it was not good for her and himself if he was to deny their attraction to one another. It was one thing that he hated about the match that was being made by the queen.He sighed before he was sipping on the rum as his wife was making her way into the study room.“You’re wrong,” she said as she was panting when she was coming to stand in the doorway as Marsh was trying to ignore the demon that wanted to claim her inside him.’Mine,’ it sai

Ava was sipping on the wine as the ladies were talking with each other and she was one of them as well. The Duchess of Belikov, Becca was smiling as her best friend, Emily, the marchioness of Kain were talking with each other.“I cannot believe that Daniel’s cousin is finally married. And here we are trying to figure out the man myself but here we are talking to his wife right now. How do you not know that your husband’s cousin was in town, Caroline?” the ladies asked my best friend before she shrugged.“Hey, I am not in this family for so long and I am not his maid. Daniel did not know that he was getting married until we had the invitation,” Caroline said as she was sipping on the wine. I smiled.“At least, we will not be playing with the queen’s matchmaking anymore. It was hard when she wanted our husbands to find a bride and to think that she had a say in anything,” Jessie said as she was shaking her head. I pondered on that.“Yeah, Niklaus and I met

Ava has been flustered after the vows that they exchanged in the church earlier. She could not think straight as she was trying to make sure that everything was going exactly like she planned for Marsh to be surprised when she walked down the aisle in a sensual dress and the men were looking at her.She managed that moment as Marsh was not talking to her after the vows and when they had to leave for their reception, he was still not talking to her. Not in the carriage, certainly not when they have to greet their guests for their wedding celebration.Not until Marsh was planning something to her for going against his wish with the wedding gown.“Welcome, how are you? Where is Harold?” Marsh greeted Lord Davenport and his wife as they were coming through the front door of their fortress. Ava sighed inwardly as she knew tonight would be the first night for her to be spending at her new household, in which she was the mistress.Not her mother.

Ava walked to the study room that her mother insisted she come. She just got out of the bath and she was ready to take on a new thought before she heard some conversation inside the room. And it was about her, none the wiser.“…I will be in touch then, Lord Randolph,” the familiar voice came from inside the room as the servant opened the door for Ava to enter. It was her mother who spotted her first before she was greeting her.“Ava, dear, would you like some tea? His Lordship was about to leave as he thought he would not be meeting you,” her mother said with a glistening shine in her eyes that made Ava want to know what they were talking about in the first place. She was aware that it was about her, so might as well get some information about it.“You waited for me?” Ava asked Marsh as she was locking her eyes with his. He smiled before her mother was fussing over them and they were not the only ones that wanted to be

Marsh was looking at himself in the mirror, standing from head to toe. He sighed as he was tying the cravat onto his neck. This is not what I had in mind when I was coming back here, hosting a dinner party for the queen and her seneschal, Marsh thought before a knock disturbed him.“Come in,” he said before the old butler was coming into the bedchamber. He was smiling at him before the butler bowed to him.“The guests are here, my lord,” the old man said as Marsh was nodding at him. He was looking at himself for the last time before he took the cravat and put it inside his waistcoat.“Are the seneschal and his family here as well?” he asked the butler before the old man nodded.“Aye, my lord. And the daughter is a pretty one. I think the young queen has chosen well,” the butler said as Marsh frowned at him. If the butler did not know about this matter, Marsh would certainly make some other arrangement as wel

Ava was smiling at the carriage ride as she was holding hands with Marsh right now. She did not know when this developed but after that kiss that they shared, she knew that she was being courted by this lord.Is this what it felt like to be courted to marry? Ava smiled as she felt the hand that was squeezing hers. She turned to look at Marsh before he smiled upon her.“I see that you are quite content with yourself, darling,” he said as he used the endearment that was only reserved for someone dear to them. And right now, Marsh was using that on her. Her heart was beating fast before she blushed and smiled shyly as Marsh was pulling her closer.This is heaven, Ava mused before she was looking at the mansion that was standing still in front of her. She gave the directions to get to her house but she did not classify which one was hers.She just hoped that Marsh did not want to come and greet her parents. She was not ready for

Ava was riding the horse astride as she knew that people might be surprised to see a Lady riding a horse without her riding habits.How come I wear that when I have a date with a potential suitor? Ava thought grimly before she pulled the rein. She stopped in front of a stable as the stable boy was holding her horse.“How much for a day?” she asked before the boy looked at her.“A Tellu, ma’am,” he said as Ava nodded at him before paying him the money and walked to the center of the Square as she was waiting for her date to show up. But Ava did not have to wait since she was spotting Marsh from afar as he was smiling brightly at her and her heart skipped a beat.Control, Ava, control, she reminded herself as she was smiling when she was looking at the man in front of her.“You’re early, my lord,” Ava said as she curtsied to him. Marsh smiled before he took her hands and kisse
