The Vampire King's Abused Human Mate Chapter 17
Trinity I woke up to the smell of antiseptic hospital washing powder. I wrinkled my nose, looking up at the IV bag above my head. The EKG attached to my finger itched a little, but everything still hurt. I was in the hospital, but I couldn’t make sense of why or how I had gotten here. I remembered being cold. So cold that I couldn’t think. I remembered everything being hurt and being so tired, but before that, everything was a dark blur.Beyond the door, I heard my father’s voice and another voice I hadn’t heard in a long time.It was Mark. My best friend. He’d moved away so long ago that I barely remembered where, but how long had he been here? Where was Dean, my boyfriend? At work? In class? Had he gone somewhere? Had I been missing so long that he’d moved on? Mark and my father, Richard, looked tired and grave as they started to turn away from the nurse they had been standing with. The nurse went down the hall as they came back inside. “Dad?” I asked, my voice rough. His eyes b

Trinity It took months before I was released from the hospital. It felt like I was on crutches for a long time and too weak to do much on my own. Mark had been great, letting me and my father stay at his house while I recovered. Mark would come home after his shift with the Salt Lake City police and ask me almost every day if I remembered anything. His questions strayed from normal to bizarre, especially when he asked about the wounds on my wrists and feet. At first, I wondered if it was just routine to check and see. Maybe he was also working on my case. Since I’d been found in Utah, in his jurisdiction, instead of Chicago, I couldn’t help but wonder if there was something else behind him asking me all these questions. He seemed so focused on my wounds and how I’d gotten down in the valley in the first place, and why my bones had healed quickly. I hadn’t the faintest idea why my bones had healed if they were broken. The doctor said that I’d healed cleanly as if I had never broken

Trinity I filled the bathtub with the coldest water possible and emptied the box of ice. I wasn’t looking forward to getting into it, but the book was clear that this was the way to go. It said that I needed to deaden my sense and force my mind to retreat. It also said that it helped to recreate a sensation related to the time that I was trying to retrieve. They said I was found at the bottom of a valley inside of a snowdrift. Ice water was as close as I could get to that. I shivered and swirled the ice around in the tub, and started to undress. I turned on the timer. There was some sort of limit that I needed to adhere to if I possibly could.I bristled as I slipped in, trying to get my body used to the cold of the water. It was almost painful, and soon my skin felt like a million needles were pricking me. I sunk into the tub slowly, shivering and readying myself to completely submerge myself. I slipped under the surface and tried not to focus on the coldness. I closed my eyes an

Lucianus After she was gone, I did my best not to think of her. I didn’t return to the human world to steal any more humans. I wasn’t afraid that I would run into her again, but I didn’t want to chance being drawn to her if she was nearby. I had to admit that was a possibility, even as it irritated me. I honestly hoped that the next time I entered the human world, she would be dead from old age. How long would that take? Time passed differently here than in the human world. I wasn’t sure how much of a difference it was, but centuries in the human worlds had seemed to pass in the blink of an eye here. It felt as though it had only been a year, maybe two, since my wife had died. Realizing that the humans didn’t even have a memory of the war that had changed me and my life forever only irritated me more. Their short, insignificant lives didn’t deserve the longevity they got when she was no longer breathing. As I lounged on my throne, I looked across the empty hall. I thought of ball

TrinityI didn’t know how long I stayed on the bathroom floor, shivering with cold, but when I came to again, I was breathing easily. There was no light coming in through the window. It was nighttime. I sat up, shaking violently, and slowly dragged myself out of the bathroom. I was still freezing. My mind was whirling with the images, but none of them made any sense. That man was still drifting through my mind. Less real and somehow more real than anything. I climbed into bed, trying to stop the shaking as I wrapped myself in my blankets. It was too much. I thought about calling my dad or Mark, but I pulled back on that. What exactly had I remembered? I had the faintest impression of a man and faint flashes of pain and blood, but there was nothing concrete. What could I possibly help with?The man wasn’t anyone I knew. I needed help to get more out of this, to make sense of it, but Mark wouldn’t help me do anything but fret, and dad was just happy to have me around, alive and recov

TrinityMy meeting with Sindia ran over the time we’d scheduled, but I felt a little better after it. It wasn’t what I’d hoped, but it made going to the police station to talk with the detectives about my case easier. I gave them the journal and sat there, answering the few questions that I could about what was inside. They didn’t seem to not believe me. They didn’t seem to believe me either, but they told me that if anything else came to mind that I should reach out. I returned to Mark’s house, reviewing the information about the getaway that Sindia had sent me. When I got home and told my dad, he beamed at me. For the first time, there seemed to be some light and life in his eyes. “About time!” He said. “I thought college students were supposed to be partying it up as much as possible.” I shook my head. “How am I supposed to get through school then?”“I don’t know what kind of party they’re going to have on that boat,” he said with a laugh. “But make sure to eat all the tasty sna

Lucianus I wanted to stay here forever, but all too soon, my wife’s figure faded. The warmth of the red and gold light faded, leaving me in the darkness for far too long. I left the room. And drifted through the castle hallways. I had been gone for hours, it seemed. I tried not to think of the woman any longer. Every time I drifted down the hall, I saw her wandering aimlessly, looking for a way to escape. I could smell her. Every time I turned down the hallway, I swore that I saw her skirt whip around the hallway. I materialized into a hallway and tried to get a grip on myself. The days were starting to blend together. Time was starting to become meaningless again. I felt the edges of that familiar, almost comforting madness start to creep into my mind. Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to sink back into that misery again. That hopeless darkness where my only peace came from my memories.It was better than fighting for the hope that was impossible. What was I supposed to do? Turn her? I

Lucianus I turned into the wind, drifting through the trees towards the source of the fire as smoke billowed up. It looked to be a farm of some sort. There was a large building burning down in the center. I recognized the scent of burning vampire blood and knew that the escaped vampires had been killed there. If not most, then all of them from the thickness of the scent. At least I didn’t have to worry about hunting those fools down.Yet standing in the middle of the still-burning ruins was a tall white cross, gleaming in the moonlight. As I approached, I realized that the cross was made of silver. The scent of holy water drifted around the cross, and I laughed. Holy water. It seems that the pope’s church, the Vatican Order, had recruited more soldiers. They thought that we were easily defeated. I slammed my hand into the cross, ignoring the brief burn of the silver on my skin, and watched it shatter and crumble. I took to the air and turned. The scent of blood caught my nose.I dr

TrinityToday, I walked down the hall. Luke was off somewhere with a tutor, and I was taking a moment for myself. It wouldn’t be long. Today was the day. “Trinity,” the man called from within his study. “Come here for a moment.”I frowned and turned, entering the room. He was reclined in a chair by the fire. He sounded so tired, but he had been sounding more and more tired the closer we got to the day. He looked up with a smile and reached out his hand to me. I took it and sat beside him. “Now that the day is here… I find myself unable to keep this from you.”I frowned and looked up at him. “What do you mean?”“The child I spoke of, the woman I loved….” His lips twitched. “The truth of why you are here in the first place. I would have liked to tell Lucianus this directly, but that is not to be.”I frowned and looked up at him. “I have already told Luke,” he said gently. “I imagine that he will be a bit morose not having grandfather around.”He chuckled. “Give him something sweet,

TrinityI wailed as I watched the light and awareness fade from his eyes. He went slack in my arms. “No!” I cried. “Lucian, you can’t leave me! Wake up! Wake up!”Something shuffled nearby. I turned to look and saw Mark. He was covered in wounds. He looked terrible, but he lifted his gun and aimed at me. His hand shook. His eyes narrowed at me even as they filled with tears. “Mark…” I whispered.His jaw trembled. The gun went still as he glared at me. Tears slid down his cheeks as he dropped his gaze to Lucian in my arms. I didn’t know why. He said nothing. Then, he lowered his arm to his side, staring at Lucian for a few more moments. Without a word, he turned around and left, trudging through the forest alone. Relief filled me the farther away he got, but as I turned to look down at Lucian, I couldn’t even enjoy it. He wasn’t moving. His eyes stared out into nothing. I was alone more than I ever had been before. My dad was dead, and the man I loved was dead. I felt a pulsing i

Lucian“Trinity?” Mark called. I watched her. She didn’t move for a long time. It was as if she couldn’t hear or see us, but then she shot to her feet and went running into the forest. “Fuck!” Mark yelled, running after her. I took the lead and grabbed him before he ran into her line of attack. She lunged at one of the vampires nearby, tearing into his throat. Another screamed and tried to attack her. Mark fired on him, turning him into a burst of blue flame. “Traitor!” They sneered. “We’ll kill you here!”One of them ran at me. The other ran toward Mark, and the third was trying to get Trinity off the vampire she was currently devouring. I dodged the one that lunged after me and rushed toward Trinity. I snatched the other out of the air and slammed him into the ground, recognizing him as a member of the royal family. I caved in his chest with a vicious sneer, glad to be rid of him and hoping to be rid of the rest of the royal family by the end of the night. I couldn’t help but thi

LucianVash as she preferred to be called, turned out to be more helpful than I expected. I dealt with the idiotic church members and managed to thwart their intentions for the vampires I had murdered, and I managed to replenish my strength with their blood. There were several trucks worth of them around. Most of them knew nothing about how the church was using vampire blood to strengthen hunters and give them abilities, but I had a feeling that it wouldn’t matter. If the Blood Ancestor was smart, he had launched an attack on the church already, and there would only be these few operatives in the field to worry about in the future. I felt something tug on my mind from a distance, and resisted. It was the Blood Ancestor I knew, trying to find me, trying to compel me to return. If he were furious and wanted a fight over Trinity, I would need my strength. So, I drank from every church member I found on my way towards where I could feel Trinity. By the time I had started to feel a litt

TrinityMark picked me up and carried me into another section of the forest. I heard Vash on the phone talking to someone behind us. “The church is on the way. They’ve lost a guy already.”“It’s Lucian,” Mark said, panting as he carried me forward. “He’s coming. I… I can’t tell how far, but he’s headed our way.” I tried to turn back to see. I wanted to call out, but I closed my mouth. Now wasn’t the time if the look on Vash’s face was anything to go by. “We’re going to run into trouble soon,” Vash said. “I can’t reach the other forces from the church.”Mark stumbled to one side and crouched down. His grip on me slipped, and I slid down his back onto the ground. The dizziness hadn’t stopped, but having had a bit of time to rest, I felt a little better. Vash shoved me aside and forced Mark to turn toward her. “Fuck,” she cursed. “Cut the link, Mark. Cut it now!”“I…. I can’t,” he said breathlessly. Blood started to trickle out of his nose. “He can’t.”Vash went still, and she clench

LucianI watched droves of vampires leave through the gate that had opened. With the gate opened, I could feel Trinity’s state of mind easier. She was frightened, but she didn’t seem to be in danger. A spike of terror rippled through her, and I went stiff. I pushed power into our bond, trying to see what was happening. But all I got were flashes of fear. I saw Mark’s face. I heard gunfire and that woman’s voice shouting orders. There was worry and I pulled on my connection to Mark, trying to get a better sense of what was going on. As I expected, Mark’s vision was clearer. His mind was calmer as he pulled Trinity down a set of dark stairs and started running. There was a sense of urgency. I could hear him counting at a slow, steady pace as they ran. The woman came up behind her and then went past him. I tried to hold on to the connection, but there was too much information coming in across the distance. It stretched and thinned. The only constant thing was Trinity’s fear and the od

TrinityI sat on a really uncomfortable chair as the other two hunters pulled up outside and began to pour stuff on the ground. Mark and Vash left me alone in what seemed to be the living room and went into the room at the back of the little house. I went to the window and watched the two other hunters stab silver knives and forks into the ground. They threw water around and chanted, holding their crosses. I guess it was something like blessing the ground. Watching them made me a little queasy. I leaned against the window and looked out into the night. For a moment, I thought I saw Lucian’s glowing red eyes, but a moment later, they vanished. I pressed my hand to my stomach, still amazed. I was pregnant. Lucian and I were going to be parents together. I wondered what vampire marriages were like. A flash of beautiful fabric and two ornate goblets filled my mind. I shuddered and tried to push the memory away. Whatever that memory was about. It didn’t matter. Nothing else mattered but
The Vampire King's Abused Human Mate Chapter 57
LucianIt was a dangerous game I was playing. I had no idea what would happen to Trinity while she was pregnant. However, I couldn’t help but be a bit excited. My wife and I… never got the chance to have children. We hadn’t been married long enough to try for children when she’d been murdered. I left the hospital, hovering above it and waiting. Soon, the cars headed out, carrying Trinity away from the building. I followed, unsurprised that they were going to Mark’s house. I waited to see where they would take her soon. I made sure to push the need for Trinity to keep the child through our bond. Soon, I saw them moving through the rooms of the house and preparing to leave. Mark’s car pulled out of the driveway and headed down the street. Soon after, the other two hunters went to the car down the street and followed. They drove out of the city and into the woods to a small wooden cabin that couldn’t have been built by the church. Other than the silver each of them carried, there wasn’

TrinityThe drive back to Mark’s house was quiet. They put me in the back seat, and Vash was in the front beside Mark, looking out the window and blowing cigarette smoke out the window. The other two hunters parked down the street and went to the house. When they said it was clear, Mark drove into the garage and parked. He walked me into the house, and Vash went outside with the other two to do something. I could still smell blood in the air, but the vampire bodies that had been there were gone. “Vash, did the church send a clean-up crew here?” Mark asked into his radio.“No,” Vash said. “Unless someone else called it in.”He cursed. “We’ll reconvene about it. The bodies are gone… just like in the clearing.”He turned to me, but I couldn’t look at him. “I’m going to kill Lucian, Trinity.”I glanced at him. “No, you won’t.”“You think he’s stronger than the church?” Mark asked. I set my jaw and stood up. “I think it won’t matter.”“If it comes to it,” Mark started. “Would you let h
