*Lotus POV*As we stood there in silence, I could feel the tension between us growing. I knew that I couldn't trust him, but at the same time, I had no one else to turn to. I was alone in this mansion, surrounded by danger on all sides. And to make matters worse, Seth was the only one who could protect me.I sighed heavily, resigned to my fate. "Fine, I'll stay," I said, defeated.Seth's lips curled into a sly smile, and I couldn't help but wonder what he was thinking. "Good choice," he said before turning and walking away, leaving me standing alone in the dimly lit hallway.As I followed him to the dining hall, I couldn't help but feel nervous. Seth's angry expression was still etched on his face, and it made me wonder what could be bothering him. As we sat down to eat, Seth's expression remained stoic and unreadable. The only sounds coming from the clink of utensils against the plates and the occasional sip of blood from the glass cup in Seth's hand.I had so many questions racing th
*Lotus POV*I sat nervously at the table, taking small bites of the food in front of me as my mind raced with conflicting emotions. Despite despising Seth for his cruelty and treating me like nothing more than a breeding rat, I couldn't help but feel a strange attraction to him. The very thought of bearing his child sent shivers down my spine, but I couldn't deny the way my heart quickened at the sight of him.As Seth abruptly left the table, my thoughts turned to the task that lay ahead of me. I knew that bearing a vampire child was something that had never been heard of before, and I couldn't help but wonder what the consequences would be. Would I survive the process? Would the child be healthy? Would Seth kill me once the child was born?The uncertainty of it all weighed heavily on my mind as I sat there, lost in thought. I had always known that my life as a slave was one of servitude and pain, but this was something entirely different. The idea of bringing a vampire child into the
*Lotus POV*Seth's face broke into a wide grin, and I couldn't help but feel a shiver of disgust run down my spine. This man was happy to hear that I was healthy, not because he cared about me, but because I was now useful to him.But the smile quickly faded from Seth's face when he saw the sadness in my eyes. "What's wrong?" he asked, his tone harsh.I hesitated for a moment before responding. "I'm not happy about this, Seth. I don't want to carry your child."Seth's expression hardened, and I braced myself for his anger. But instead of lashing out, he simply shrugged. "It doesn't matter if you're happy about it or not. You're going to do it."As the two men continued to discuss the logistics of the procedure, I felt a sense of hopelessness wash over me. There was no way out of this situation. I was trapped, a prisoner to Seth's twisted desires.But even as despair threatened to consume me, a small spark of defiance remained. I would not let him break me, no matter what he did. I wou
*Lotus POV*I looked at Dr. Steven in horror as he informed Seth about the scheduled date for our forced intercourse. I could see the fear in my own eyes, but Seth's expression remained unchanged, as if he had expected this news all along. He looked at me with a cold, menacing stare before turning on his heel and leaving without a word.Dr. Steven approached me and placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder. "Everything will be alright," he said softly, but I knew better than to believe his words. I was trapped in this mansion, a prisoner to Seth's twisted desires, and there was no escape.As Dr. Steven walked me back to my room, I couldn't help but feel like a prisoner in my own body. My mind was racing with thoughts of how I ended up in this situation and how I was going to get out of it. I felt violated, like I had no control over my own life. The thought of being forced to have a child with Seth made my stomach turn.As soon as I was alone in my room, I collapsed on the bed and let t
*Lotus POV*As I drifted off to sleep, a sense of unease crept over me. I tossed and turned, my mind filled with images of dark, shadowy figures lurking in the corners of the room. Just when I thought I couldn't take it anymore, I felt myself being lifted off the bed.At first, I thought it was Seth, coming to check on me in the middle of the night. But as I was lifted higher and higher, I realized that something was wrong. The room spun around me, and I felt a cold, clammy hand close around my ankle.I tried to scream, but my throat was paralyzed with fear. I couldn't see who or what was holding me, but I knew that it was something dark and malevolent. It seemed to be drawing me towards an invisible vortex, sucking me down into the abyss.Just as I felt myself slipping away, Seth burst into the room with his men in tow. They moved with lightning speed, grabbing me just in time to prevent me from being dragged away.Seth's eyes blazed with fury as he looked around the room, searching
*Lotus POV*Just then, the maids came in to prepare me for breakfast. They greeted me with a warm smile, and I returned the gesture as they dressed me for the day. I followed them downstairs to the dining room, hoping Seth would be there to join me for breakfast as he usually does.But when I arrived at the table, it was empty, and Seth was nowhere to be seen. I asked one of the maids where he was, and she informed me that he had left early in the morning for an urgent matter and would be back before evening.I sat at the table alone, observing the food laid out in front of me. My appetite had faded, and I couldn't help but think about last night and why Seth had left without a word. As I ate in silence, my thoughts wandered, wondering what was so urgent that he had to leave very early this morning. Was it because of what happened last night?” I asked myself in my mind while I ate.As I sat there, lost in thought, a maid approached me with a solemn expression. "Miss, Dr. Steven has re
*Lotus Pov*As the week drew closer to my scheduled time with Seth, I couldn't help but feel a sense of dread and anxiety building up inside of me. I was unable to eat or sleep properly, and every time I saw Seth, I felt sick to my stomach. His wicked smirk and cold demeanor only added to my discomfort.One day, while I was lost in my thoughts, I heard a voice behind me. It was a fellow slave, Dalia. I wondered how long she had been here and why she is still alive. I thought Seth kills anyone that is not useful to him. We started talking, and I couldn't believe how quickly we hit it off. We shared stories and laughs, and it was like we had known each other for years. I honestly needed the company. I had been so bored and needed someone to talk to and not talk to only myself.While we were discussing, Dalia dropped a bombshell that shook me to my core. She revealed that Seth had never touched any of the slaves who were meant to be in his bed. I was stunned. This was something I had neve
*Lotus POV*As I lay in my bed that night, my mind was preoccupied with the thought of the hidden room. I knew that I had to be careful and not get caught by Seth or any of his minions.The next day, I asked Dalia about the room's location and how to get there. She hesitated at first, but eventually, she gave me the details. The room was located in the west wing of the Mansion, and the entrance was hidden behind a tapestry. I thanked her and made my way to the west wing, trying to remain as inconspicuous as possible.Once I reached the west wing, I began my search for the tapestry. It took me a while to find it, but eventually, I did. I pulled it aside, revealing a hidden door. I took a deep breath and opened the door, stepping inside the room.I pushed open the door to the hidden room, my heart pounding with a mixture of fear and excitement. The room was darker than I expected, and I fumbled for the flashlight on my phone to illuminate the space. Musty air and the scent of decay fill
Seth's PovDamon, you are nothing but a traitor. I firmly declared, "Today, I will put an end to your reign of terror and defend those you have injured. You thought you could attack innocent people and get away with it.Damon scoffed, his haughtiness audible in his tone. "Seth, are you really thinking you can defeat me? You believe that you can stop me?Damon, stop talking. I said, determination blazing in my eyes, "It's time to finally put an end to this.Suddenly, Damon's assurance slipped, and he lurched, obviously shaken. He asked me, "What have you done to me, Seth?" with confusion in his voice.I showed my trump card with a wicked smirk on my face. "Yes, I used a needle you were unaware I had when we were battling to inject you with a lethal poison. Any vampire can be killed by it. I took it out of the drawer next to my desk for study. You didn't know it was there, did you?As I persisted in confronting Damon, his cries for mercy were unanswered. Damon, yeah, I see. You can
~Seth’s Pov~"Welcome, sir," Damon greeted with a polite tone. "I thought you weren't coming tonight."Ignoring his pleasantries, I led Damon into my study room, my expression a mix of amazement and anger. The room provided a sense of privacy, allowing us to have a conversation without interruption.As we settled in, I took a seat and fixed my gaze directly on Damon, his curiosity evident in his eyes. The weight of suspicion hung heavy in the air, leaving him wondering why I had called him in for a discussion."Is everything alright, sir?" Damon inquired, his voice laced with genuine concern. His demeanor conveyed a mix of anticipation and confusion, awaiting my next words.Silently, I continued to study his face, searching for any signs of deceit or hidden motives. The tension in the room grew palpable as the silence lingered, each passing moment fueling my growing suspicion."Why are you staring at me like that, sir?" Damon's voice held a note of confusion. "Is everything alright?
Seth’s PovLotus and I exchanged glances, our eyes brimming with determination and concern. We couldn't help but feel a sense of dread as we said goodbye to Kassandra, knowing the risks she'd face on her own. We had no choice but to press on and complete our mission.The dimly lighted trail led us through a succession of subterranean tunnels beneath the estate as we followed the secret channel. The air felt stale, and there was a subtle odor of wetness. Our footsteps echoed softly, creating an unearthly atmosphere."Amelia, you mentioned earlier that you knew who the mastermind is," Lotus said, her eyes narrowing with suspicion. Please inform us. We need to know who our opponents are."Amelia paused for a while, her face filled with a mix of melancholy and determination. "I can't keep it a secret from you any longer." Damon is the mastermind."I exclaimed, a wave of astonishment and treachery washing over me. "Damon? But he's my most trusted ally and confidant."Amelia gave a sad n
~Seth’s Pov~I felt relieved to see the familiar faces as Lotus entered the room. One of the mansion's maids was standing next to Lotus, her face a mixture of resolve and worry. I was left wondering why she went with Lotus rather than Damon, whose presence I had grown accustomed to."Lotus!" I yelled as a wave of relief overcame me upon seeing her. However, a burning question that had been on my thoughts ever since her unannounced arrival forced itself into my consciousness.“Seth, are you okay?” Lotus asked in a concerned tone. “What did she do to you?” "How did you find me?" I asked. My voice was mixed with thanks and curiosity as I queried.Lotus looked at me with a wry smirk on her lips. Seth, I'll tell you everything about it later. However, let's just say I had some assistance from someone you know," she said, her tone suggesting a secret."Amelia?" My gaze shifted to the maid who had followed Lotus on this risky rescue expedition as I questioned. I was intrigued by her prese
Seth's PovWe got to her apartment and I was really amazed. I gushed, unable to contain my real admiration for the exquisite interior decoration, "Wow, your place is amazing."Kassandra grinned in appreciation of my response. "I'm grateful, Seth. I gave making a warm and inviting space a lot of thought.I cast a quick glance around, observing the tastefully decorated rooms and neatly selected furniture. "I am aware. It's incredibly trendy and hospitable. You have a wonderful eye for design.She spoke with a hint of pride and smiled. "I've always enjoyed creating aesthetically pleasing yet comforting homes. It resembles my personal retreat.I smiled and nodded, enjoying the ambiance of the venue. "There's no doubt that this seems like a haven. a location where you can unwind and rest.I was signaled by Kassandra to have a seat on the cozy couch. Make yourself at home, please. Would you like something to drink, please? Perhaps some wine?"I sat down on the comfortable couch and sank int
Lotus PovBeing a vampire is a wild ride, let me tell you. The hunger for human blood is something else, like a craving you just can't resist. It's like smelling the most irresistible strawberry juice, the kind that instantly refreshes your body and makes your mouth water.I can finally see why Seth used to act all weird around me when we first met. He would cover his nose or keep his distance, trying his best to control his urge to sink his teeth into my delicious neck and drink me dry.Can you imagine? It's like trying to resist the most tempting dessert when it's right in front of you.But hey, I don't blame him. I've come to understand the power of our vampire instincts. It's like this constant battle between wanting to embrace our true nature and trying to resist the urge to harm the ones we care about. Seth's restraint and self-control are something I truly admire.And you know what's the best part? We're in this together now. We can navigate this crazy vampire world side by s
Seth’s Pov.I noticed Kassandra sneaking glances at me while I mingled at the party. So, I decided to talk to her and show interest in the event and my outfit."Hey there," I greeted with a friendly smile. "Your dress looks amazing! I really like it."Kassandra smiled back, clearly flattered. "Thanks! Fashion is my thing, you know. I'm obsessed with it.""I totally understand," I replied, sharing her enthusiasm. "Fashion is a great way to express yourself. It's amazing how clothes can say so much about a person."Kassandra nodded, her eyes sparkling. "Exactly! Fashion is like art. Your clothes can show off your personality and creativity."We laughed together, enjoying our conversation. "That's so true," I agreed. "Fashion is its own form of art. And you clearly have good taste."Blushing, Kassandra said, "Oh, you're too nice. But seriously, where did you get that suit? It's really stylish."I smirked, seizing the chance to pique her curiosity. "Well, it wasn't easy, but I found this
Seth’s Pov"I appreciate your efforts, Damon. Thanks for securing the invite," I expressed my gratitude, carefully tucking the invitation card away."Sir, it wasn't a walk in the park. I had to dish out four gold bars to get my hands on it," Damon revealed."You went above and beyond, Damon. You can head back to the mansion now," I instructed, signaling him to depart."Hold on a second... Did he just say he splurged four gold bars on whatever it is you're hiding?" Lotus interjected, her voice laced with astonishment."That's a hefty sum! What on earth could be worth that kind of investment?" she probed further."All will be revealed in due time. But for now, let's not delve into it. You know your insatiable curiosity, Lotus," I teased."Well, you know me too well. It's in my nature to be curious," she retorted playfully."Quite the character you are, Lotus. Anyway, let's head back to the mansion before nightfall," I suggested, reaching out for her hand. However, in a surprising turn,
~Seth's Pov~A maid came into my study, her face flushed with fear. "Sir, Lady Lotus has gone into a frenzy in her room, screaming and threatening anyone who comes near her," she said.Fear washed over me. This was unusual for Lotus, and I sensed something was up. I followed the maid without hesitation, my heart beating in my chest. As I walked into her room, I was met with turmoil and confusion."Lotus, what's wrong?" My voice was filled with concern as I inquired."I'm not sure what's going on with me. I'm starving, and nothing seems to fill me up... "I need human blood," she admitted, her voice shaking.My heart fell as I realized the extent of her anguish. I had to comfort her and find a way to help."You don't need human blood, Babe." I believe in you, you have the strength to control this," I comforted her, seeking to calm her rushing thoughts.Then an idea occurred to me. Perhaps a fresh technique might relieve her stress and allow her to rest."Why don't we go hunting together
