If I thought I turned heads on a normal basis, you should have seen the neck breaking that was going on right now as I walked through the halls of The Academy. It was a lot busier than when I originally arrived and I definitely was causing a scene. Good, my outfit was having the intended effect. I needed it too so I could ensure my kills tonight. The better I looked, the easier it would be to seduce those twins. "Jarvis, bring the car around." I said knowing full well that I would need the keys from the valet still. I walked out the doors and over to the valet who was a young boy with dark brown hair and eager eyes. "Snow, here, let me get your car." He said, as he went into the booth to grab my keys. "I just need the keys, kid." I said, as my car pulled up and stopped right in front of us. I winked at the kid whose jaw was sitting on the floor, and then pressed the button to open my lambo door, stepping inside. “Jarvis, take me to the Vanderwood ball.” I said. “Yes Ma’am.” He replie
I reciprocated his kiss, acting like I was interested by threading my hand through his soft blonde hair. He pulled away briefly to look into my eyes. “You are so fucking beautiful.” He growled, and continued to kiss me as he pushed me towards the bed. Once we got there I realized the other brother, who I assumed was Joshua, was waiting for us. James pushed me onto the bed and straight into Joshua's arms. He grabbed me and positioned me onto his lap straddling him. I knew this was to better the position for the bite that he was sure to give me here soon. He smashed his lips into mine picking up where his brother left off. His thoughts had completely shifted, which made me realize just how maniacal his mind really was. He was planning on keeping me locked up in his secret dungeon that was behind his bookcase. This way he could take me anytime he chooses. I was repulsed. Fucking leech! Ugh, but I acted like I didn’t hear his thoughts, of course, and deepened our kiss. I felt James clim
I spotted a Vampire with a tray of blood and grabbed a glass from it as he walked by, pretending to take a drink of the warm liquid. It baffles me how they can drink this shit. I mean I know they are Vampires so they have to, but Jesus christ. Just having the blood I had in my own mouth earlier was gag worthy. It was like having a mouthful of pennies. I smiled and laughed as I I walked through the crowd towards the front door I originally came through. I set my glass of blood on a tray as the Vampire holding it walked by, and I continued on my journey to the entryway. I was in the homestretch, probably 20 feet away from the door, when a very attractive Vampire, with short onyx locks and the most neon green eyes I had ever seen, stepped in front of me. He held out his hand. “Would you do me the honor?” He purred. It was then that I realized there was a slow song starting and the realization hit me that he wanted to dance. Jesus fuck, I was almost to the door… I honestly didn’t want to
For a moment I forgot why I was even at the Vanderwood ball. “Jarvis, call Shadow.” I said, while fumbling through my holster for the two rings I had collected from the twins. Within seconds Shadow appeared on my screen. “Checkmate.” I said with a grin, and I lifted the two rings up so he could see. He smiled back at me. “Well done, Snow. Well done. I didn’t have a doubt that you would complete this task. The funds will be in your account within 24 hours.” He said, and then closed the call. I checked out the rings now that I had some time. They were identical rings, both sporting what looked like a family crest with large J’s in the middle. I grabbed the wooden box from my jockey box and opened it, placing them inside with the rest of my trinkets, before carefully placing the box back in its rightful place, safe and sound. I leaned my head back against my seat and my mind wandered to Damien. For the first time in all these years I had been hunting, never had I encountered a Vampire
His thoughts calmed down after that and he was more focused on enjoying the time we had because he wasn't sure when he would see me again. I sat up climbing from the tub and grabbing a towel for both of us. "Why don't you stay the night?" I said. He smiled. "I would love to." He said, and followed me to the bed. I threw my hair into a bun to keep it off my neck since it was wet, and I climbed into bed. He followed, and I took my place in his arms with my leg over the top of his. He lightly brushed his hand on my shoulder and down my back. Neither of us said anything but I fell asleep with the hum of his now peaceful thoughts coursing through my mind. I hadn't set an alarm to wake up, but Xavier was stirring in bed next to me. I woke up with my back to him but he had pulled me close, and had his arms wrapped tightly around me as if he was afraid I wouldn't be there when he woke up. "Good morning, beautiful." He said, and I mumbled something incoherent. I hated mornings if we are being
I got out of my car, forgoing my gloves just in case I ran into him. I would just be careful and try not to make skin contact with anyone else. I never carried a purse but I had my card in my phone case, so I grabbed my phone and headed towards the store. I walked inside and pretended to be on my phone to prevent myself from looking around. I knew if he caught me scanning the area he would know I wasn't here by coincidence. I wasn't even really on my phone, I was just scanning my apps trying to keep my attention anywhere but on the people in the room. When it was my turn to order I shut my screen on my phone off and put it under my arm for safe keeping. "I'll take a mango peach smoothie with strawberry and passionfruit boba bubbles." I said. "And what's a name for your order?" The employee asked. "Snow." I said, and then took my card from my phone case and paid. I sat down at an empty table to wait for my drink and within minutes they had it ready. I grabbed it, thanking the kid and
He pulled me through another door and into his garage. I was in absolute shock when I realized that his Chiron wasn't the only rare car he owned. Now I was intrigued. Cars had always been somewhat of a passion of mine, ever since I was young. I was now within my own element. "Wow, this is insane! Do you know how rare these cars are?!" I exclaimed, letting go of his hand, even though that meant losing my connection to his mind, so I could wander over and look at each and every one of them. He had two Bugatti’s, A Chiron Noir like mine but with orange accents underneath and Solid black Veyron. He had a Ferrari 250 Grand Turismo Omologato, which, by the way, is the rarest car in the world! A Lamborghini Diablo VT 6.0 Se and a Lamborghini Aventador SVJ. There was an old style Ford Model T, in perfect original condition, a Tesla Roadster, a really nice Porsche Spyder, a suped up 2021 Honda Civic…. He literally had such a mix of cars, new, old, rare and not so rare, I was in heaven. Once
After a few moments that honestly felt like an eternity to me, Damien loosened his iron grip on me and pulled back some. He put a hooked finger under my chin and tilted it so we were making eye contact. “I don’t care if you’re a Hunter." He said, and I could tell he was being sincere. He truly didn't care. He knew what he wanted, and that was me, Hunter or not. I shook my head, closing my eyes to break from his intense stare. "It would never work. Everything I've ever believed, everything I've ever stood for is the complete opposite of this." I said. "You can still stand for this, you can still be a Hunter. I would never try and stop you, I would never try to change you." He said. I could tell he truly meant every word. I exhaled a deep breath. I was so fucking conflicted. I am a Hunter. I'm a ruthless, cold blooded killer. No mercy, and no distractions. Why was I even entertaining this man? This Vampire, the species of which I despised more than anything in this world. Why did I let
“Clark, It’s Damien. I’m going to need one last favor.” I said. “Of course, Damien, what is it?” He asked. I have 2 bodies I’m going to need you to pick up. Funeral arrangements have already been specified in the document I will leave for you. As always, money is no issue and I trust that you will charge me for all of it.” He said. “Of course, sir. I can have the coroner there in a half hour.” He replied. “Thank you, Clark. Truly, thank you, my friend...” I said, before hanging up the phone. I looked at Jericho and nodded. He nodded back to me. I walked over to Max’s body and pulled Snow’s knife from Max’s chest. I walked over to Jericho while Xavier grieved over my gifted mate. “Do not feed from him, he needs to stay alive. Snow would kill us both if she ever found out that something bad happened to him. You have my will, you have everything you need. Give this to Clark when he arrives. It has the instructions I have specified. Burn this fucking place to the ground once Clark and th
And who just literally gave up her physical life for me, was gone. My thoughts were a fucking wreck. I have no idea how long I held her before I laid her on the bed, or what was left of it. That's when I noticed Max across the room. He was clearly dead, Snow’s knife protruded from his chest. I knew that was what killed him, even though I doubt he could have survived the blast either way. I looked back down at the body of the only woman I had ever truly loved and smiled through my tears. “I’m so proud of you. Giving up the ultimate sacrifice to accomplish your goals. So fucking proud.” I said, moving a piece of her hair from the blood that stained her face. I tucked it behind her ear softly. Even in death she was so fucking beautiful. My chest ached physically at her loss. Every bone in my body was in agony. Like they knew we were missing our other half. The strange thing was the bond seemed to still be in place, It was just unreachable and very very faint. I called Jericho and told
Xavier ignored us both and kept trying to find a way around the barrier. It was no use, I couldn’t even penetrate it so there was no way an enhanced Human could either. I could still feel Snow, but it was pointless trying to get inside. I sent Xavier home after a few hours. He was reluctant but I had to keep coaching Jericho down, and helping him to understand his Vampire tendencies. He was trying to take a bite out of Xavier more times than I wanted to admit… He was going to struggle with this, just like I did. Which was normal. Snow, on the other hand, was a unicorn. She barely struggled and was able to keep her composure easily. It was her powers that she struggled with and I knew this. I wanted to know what the hell Max was doing to her to cause me to not be able to feel the gifted mate bond anymore. Jericho needed sleep and even though I didn't plan to sleep, I knew I needed to, otherwise tomorrow was going to be a lot harder. It was just too hard to sleep with my gifted mate i
“Cortana, call Xavier.” I said. I knew I had just called him and he probably wasn't even there yet, but I had to try. “What?” He snarled, clearly annoyed by me. But I didn’t care. “Something happened, I can't reach Snow through our bond anymore. I can feel her life force, but I can’t feel her emotions.” I said, trying to hide the panic in my voice.I told her I wouldn’t hover, I wouldn’t bother her and let her handle things. I knew she was independent and wanted to be the savior. I knew… But I was trying not to lose my mind. Plus, Jericho couldn’t wake up alone. That would spell disaster. “I just arrived but I can't get past the front doors. There is some sort of forcefield, I don’t know. Some sort of magic here. Whatever it is, it’s preventing anyone from going in or out.” He replied. “Fuck. Ok, keep an eye on it, and if anyone comes in or out, I need to know. I’ll be there as soon as Jericho finishes his transition.” I said, and hung up the phone. I was half tempted to take Jericho
(Damien)I had a terrible feeling as I watched Snow leave my house to meet with Max. Something inside just nagged at me not to let her go. Had I known what the next 72 hours was going to bring, I would have listened. Rarely does my gut instinct send me astray. This was a fact. I started making preparations immediately after her departure. “Jericho, you still here?” I called out from the hallway. He poked his head out of his room a few doors down. “What’s up boss?” He said. “It’s time.” I replied, and I watched him stiffen and pull his head back into the doorway, coming out a second later without his equipment. He walked up to me and nodded. “I’m ready.” He said. I ushered him into my room and over to my desk while I rifled through papers until I found the will. My last will and testament. The second Snow became a Vampire I had a feeling that something terrible was going to happen to her. She just had too much power… I took Jericho aside and made him promise me that he would be my so
“I don’t want it! I don’t want you!” I snarled. “What is it about him? What the fuck is it that has you so fucking entranced?” Max snarled, releasing me from his grip. I stumbled back, getting as far away from him as I could. “Who? Who are you talking about?” I demanded. I was contemplating running, but my curiosity got the best of me. Max was pacing in the room, clearly stressed out. I knew I was trapped, it didn’t matter where I went or what I did, I was stuck in whatever hallucination Max decided to throw at me. There was no point trying to escape. Max suddenly turned towards me and his eyes were full of rage. “You could have had everything with me. You could have had more than you ever hoped for, more than you ever dreamt of. I would have kept you safe. I would have loved you, and protected you. I would have given you anything in this fucking world… All you had to do was say yes. All you had to do was fucking choose me.” He snarled. I took a step back, towards the door as he inc
We got back to the suite and Max immediately turned his gaze to me. I knew exactly what he was thinking. I snickered to myself at the smile creeping on his lips. How did I get so fucking lucky? He was such a damn catch. Way out of my league. “I know what you’re thinking, doll. But… We need food.” He said, putting his finger to my lips. “I’ve got something you can eat.” I said, with a smirk. Within seconds he had me pinned up against the wall next to the closet and smashed his lips into mine. I knew that would get him. At this rate we would never eat, or leave this room. I decided to play hard to get, switch things up a little. I snaked out of his grasp and took off running across the room. I smirked when I heard Max’s growl at my escape. I could feel his feet padding on the floor behind me. I felt like he was letting me get a head start, I knew he was much faster than I was. I turned as I got close to the bathroom just in time for Max to tumble into me, tackling me causing us to bot
He pulled away first. “No more, I have already had a hard enough time keeping my dick in my pants, let’s not make it public, doll.” He purred. I just laughed. “Ok, ok.” I said, with my hands up in defeat. “Let’s just make it through the conference, and then you can have me the rest of the entire day if you choose.” Max said. “Deal.” I replied. He grabbed my hand as we headed out of the suite and to the elevator. His thoughts were a mess of me naked, the conference, the merge. He was nervous but also more excited than he had ever been. The company was about to take off, and the shareholders would benefit from buying stocks right about now. I let my mates' thoughts calm my nerves as we headed past the front desk. “Oh dear, you look so much better this morning!” She said. I thanked her and waved, catching Max’s eye as we went outside. “What was that about?” He asked. “Oh I don’t know, something about looking like I was crying last night. I’m not sure.” I said. He chuckled. “If you wer
The elevator opened and I headed towards the end of the hall. I pushed open the doors to Max’s suite and walked inside, taking my heels off and setting them by the door. Max walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel and we locked eyes. “Ah, Snow. you’re back sooner than I expected.” Max purred. “And you’re a hell of a lot less clothed than I expected.” I said with a smirk, letting my eyes roam his nearly naked form. His rippling muscles cascaded down his chest and arms. His towel hung low, accentuating the deep V that was partially hidden. “I think you forget that I am the one who has won the grand prize here.” Max purred, as he sauntered towards me. I met him halfway as our lips collided, sending lightning and cool fire dancing between us. Max pulled away and leaned his forehead against mine. “I love you, Snow. I love you so fucking much.” He said. “I love you too, Max. You know I do.” I replied. He pulled away the rest of the way and looked at me. I could see the complete and
