RALPH I woke up with the hardest erection I had ever had. I turned to lie on my side and caught a whiff of her scent. Gritting my teeth, I threw the blanket off me. I know exactly what to do. I have been playing around for so long. This was the time to set things right and teach everyone who the boss was around here. I would not let those desires for Jovita control me again. For fuck's sake, I have been here for centuries and should know how to control all these pathetic feelings. I, of all people, should know how these things end. It never ends well. With wooden movements, I strolled into the bathroom for another cold shower to calm myself. After that, I would drink a good amount of blood, and I would regain control of myself, but something told me that I could finish all the pints in my blood bank, and she would still live rent-free in my head. I could not tell what crazy obsession this was. The memories of last night still lingered, and the evidence was on my swoll
RALPH The plan was to go to my vacation house, but I changed my mind on the way. I needed to speak with Colbert. Fighting with him over that human was not worth it. "Reverse the car. We are going to Colbert's town," I said to the driver without looking at him. "Yes, Lord." My eyes shifted to the rearview mirror, and I caught my driver's eyes on me. He quickly averted it and focused on the road. "What is your name?" I asked. "Huh?" His eyes met mine in the mirror again. "My name is Kala." "Kala, why did you never marry?" He hiked his shoulders. "I guess I never really found someone I connected that much with." "And if you have found someone you connected so much with, would you have stayed with them even when it is forbidden?" I do not even know why I was asking that question. It is not like Jovita and I will ever be together, no matter the kind of attraction between us. I will not give up everything for a human. "I wou
THIRD PERSON'S POV Landon walked into the hall, filled with vampires and blood. There were no humans because any human who dared come there was gone. This was his army, the ones who were loyal to him. They hailed him as he walked past tables to a particular table surrounded by Lords. An older man peeked at him, and he ignored him and sat down beside a younger boy who appeared to be a teenager and was tanner than they all were. His eyes shifted to the woman sitting beside the older man peeking at him, and she winked at him. "Malcolm, you know that staring at me like that would not undo what happened. You must move on." A servant placed a dish in front of him and put a meal into it. "I do not know why Brenda keeps inviting you here. I do not want the likes of you here," the old man named Malcolm said. The woman in question tugged at his arm, signaling him to go easy. Landon grinned. "This might be your party, Malcolm, but this is my city."
JOVITA It was almost a week since Lord Ralph left his castle and since I was working at the dungeon and going to the market to get foodstuff. We were paired, and my partner was Emily. I was not always in the mood to talk to her, but I was not always bored either. I pretended I was okay, but I was not. I will not really say I missed the vampire lord, but his absence made me uncertain. I do not even know if it was anger I felt or molested. A new vampire girl has taken over my job, and does not look like she wants to chat with anyone. My plans were slipping away gradually. Maybe I would be stuck here and unable to kill this vampire whom I thought I hated so much. "What is the matter with you?" Ana asked, bringing me back to the present. I looked up to see her standing before me with her hands fisted on her waist. I sighed and laid back in bed, turning away from her, but she was not giving up. She sat down on my bed and turned me to face her. "You know, we ca
RALPH I paced in my room with a glass of blood in my hand and ran the other finger over my hair. I thought I was over her. I had convinced myself about that, but all my resolve crashed when I saw her with that mechanic boy. I did not know what to do. The only way to stop this is to send her away from me, but even as she is far from me, I yearned for her presence. Have they slept together? Has he tasted what was mine? Has he done everything I fantasized about doing to her? I will have to kill that boy. They even call them love birds now. I sighed and sat on the edge of my bed. If I kill him, everyone will suspect it was because of Jovita, and they would all say I killed him out of jealousy. I was Lord Ralph; I was not supposed to be jealous. I downed the blood in my hand and stood up again. I could not sleep, and even after coming up with different methods of keeping them apart, I still was not comfortable. A knock came at the door, interrupting my thoughts. I spun toward
JOVITA I had a dream the previous night and saw Lord Ralph in it. I found myself on my bed when I woke up, and my lips were still sore. However, I did not want to believe it was Lord Ralph that brought me up to bed because he could not care that much and had just shown it by showing me his ruthlessness. After sending Bryce to the junkyard to work on a bartered car, he added to my chores yesterday. I knew I would give him a piece of my mind sometime, but I would hold my peace now until I could not take it anymore. Ana was already gone when I woke up, so I did not get to ask who put me to bed. I knew it was Bryce, and we would Iron out things today. I went down the stairs and was surprised to see many people in the yard and police cars and ambulances. I also noticed some people were looking at me. I spotted Ana in a corner, and she saw me, too, and walked over to me. She grabbed my hand and dragged me toward the backyard without letting me speak. "What is going on? Why i
JOVITA "Hello there, pretty one. I am Lord Landon, nice to meet you." "Hello," I said and moved away from his way. "Excuse me." I made to leave, but he grabbed my hand and I stopped me right in front of me. His hand was colder than most vampires. Something about him seemed troublesome. "Eh eh, not so fast, human. I guess you are going with me tonight." "Lord Landon, let the girl do her job," someone said from behind, relieving me. I turned to see Lord Ralph's brother standing behind us. I sighed with relief when the other man's hand left me. He sighed and rolled his eyes. "Well, if it is not the goody-two-shoes," the other Lord muttered. "What are you doing here, Landon?" Lord Colbert asked. "Am I not supposed to be here? This is a traditional vampire gathering and I do not rememeber Viktor banning me from coming here." I took that as my cue to leave. My face cheeks were hot and my heart pounded in my ribcage. I did not know why that L
JOVITA I rolled the cart into the event center and looked around; the vampires were chattering amongst themselves. I handed them over to one of the servers and reclined in the corner, waiting for another order. My eyes ran around the place and locked with the lord called Landon. He had a crooked smile plastered on his face and signaled me to come over. I approached him and saw Lord Ralph watching me with a jaw sharp enough to slice me in two. I hated him and wanted to hurt him so badly. I walked up to the vampire that called me and doubled over to hear what he had to say. "I will eat you. You look so delicious," he whispered into my ear. I felt like vomiting all over his face. I straightened up and flashed him a fake smile. "What do you want? Some blood?" I asked, still holding my phony smile. Someone grabbed my arm from behind, and I looked to see Lord Ralph staring at me with fury in his eyes. I tried to snatch my hand from him, but he held me tightly.
JOVITA The event of the previous night stayed with me throughout the day and into the night, occupying me when I was alone. As usual, I went to throw the thrash out, but only one thing remained in my mind and that was the image of lord Ralph having sex with the girl. Anytime I think of this, there was this rippling sensation I get. I had being trying to forget about it but it was all I could think of. The fire his mouth and tongue lit on my body still lingered and even though I had taken my bath twice today, his scent still lingered on me. I sighed, what was wrong with me? Why did I keep thinking about it? This was a man I was supposed to kill not fuck. But I could not help it. He arose those feral desires in me. I huffed deeply and walked away from the thrash can. I looked up again at the bright moon in the sky and thought about Bryce. How was he? Is he out of comma? "I see the moon makes you think of me," a deep voice I knew too well said. I looked
RALPH "I will make you want me, but I will not fuck you." That was my mouth speaking, but I wanted to rip her legs apart and fuck her until she forgot her own name. I only have an ounce of control remaining as I work my way through her body. Jovita. I hated the name, but I wanted to fuck the girl. She was in my head every time, even when I was not thinking about her. I thought doing all those things would make me forget her. Maltreating her, removing her from being my assistant. I thought making her hate me would make me hate her, but it made me fucking miss her. I wanted her. I wanted her every fucking night. In a bid to get her out of my system, I go to my club and fetch many vampire women. I slept with them to get her out of my system, but she was there when I had sex with them. Her body was the only thing I thought of when I fuck those women and the only image that drove me to climax. I had lost count of how many times I had masturba
RALPH I pulled into the compound and saw Kala, my driver, waiting for me. I decided to indulge him and know what he thought about me being the reason for the boy's demise, but before I could even get out of the car, my assistant, whom I hadn't asked her name yet, came walking up to me with a news Colbert had insisted on going down and using the public transport to go back to his city. Our argument did not end well, and I was grumpy. This was the first time Colbert blatantly disagreed with me on anything. It left me sorer than I cared to admit. "Welcome, Lord Ralph. You have a visitor." "I am not entertaining visitors now," I said, tossing my keys to Kala. "Hello, there," someone greeted from a few feet. I looked up to see Andres. My heart fell low inside my stomach. I looked from him to my assistant as if wanting her to explain things to me, but she offered no help. It was quite a relief that I got rid of Colbert on the way. "What are you doing
RALPH I did not need my driver today, so I took the car keys from him. Colbert watched me, wondering what was going on in my mind. I signaled him to enter the car as I sat in the driver's seat. He came in and sat in the passenger's seat. "Alright, where are we going to?" he asked. "I wanted to make it none of my business, but now that you asked, I think I will pick up this case." "Are you really saying you didn't do that? Do you have an alibi?" Jovita was supposed to be my alibi. I was kissing and carrying her to bed around that time, but I could not say that to Colbert. He will project this love thing again. "Of course not. I know this is difficult to believe but trust me, I did not do this. Someone is trying to set me up, but what worries me is the reason for that." "Maybe another vampire that is secretly into her?" I did not like the sound of that. No other male will touch her. I zoomed off, heading straight to the hospita
JOVITA Lord Ralph stared at me without blinking. I stood there contemplating jumping into the sea behind me. Did he see me? Did he notice I was going through his stuff? "What did you think you were doing, human?" His voice was cold and steel. It sounded more like a growl. "I... I... I was..." I lost what to say. What could I possibly say to him? Hey, I was checking out your secrets, and I know them now. He stalked toward me, and I took a few steps back. Resentment and anxiety were warring inside me, and anxiety was winning more. My hands shook, and my lips shivered. I could feel the rage he exuded. He hated me enough to give me hard labor for nothing; he hated me enough to beat Bryce to a pulp. Nothing would stop him from killing me right now. "You feel you can disobey me?" He took off his jacket and started to unbuckle his belt. My eyes widened. What? Was he going to hit me? I bet I misjudged this man. He was worse than everything they said he was.
