Vampires exist. But they aren't the etheral, seducing types that we are taught about. They slither and scheme, kill and reduce to ash all that is around them and even worse, One has claimed my heart as theirs. Only, he doesn't know I'm not the woman he thinks I am. I'm not his lover, nor do I want to be. Kidnaped and forced into proximity with the King of the Dead I learn one thing, nothing is as it seems at first sight. Hades is a man with power, but Thomas saved me from death. One is human and the other is close to a God. A greater threat looms in the distance, the humans I wish to stand with are under attack. The Vampire's war is not mine to fight, but can I truly stay on the side lines and watch everyone I have come to care about perish? And can I truly find love in the arms of a cold detached man, when warmth and happiness lays in wait for me with Thomas?
ดูเพิ่มเติมWhen I wake up again it's morning. It's bright and misty and slightly cold. My eyes move to the window where the vampire- Micah stood last night. How was it possible that I had family members still alive? How was he even related to me? How could I be a vampire? I shake my head at the thought. Nothing he said was true. All they did was play mind games. I've never drunk blood before, never felt the need to. I don't hear heart's beat, I can't move super fast either and definitely I shiver in the cold. I'm not a vampire and I don't have a family, not anymore.Throwing the covers back, I jump from the bed walking on the barren floor. This room was completely naked, as if forgotten by time-or Aiden. Whichever came first. Surely she's going to kill me for trashing my room, but I've never felt better. Tearing things apart made me feel so alive, the adrenaline of it all so exhilarating. Like the time I walked in the snow. My headached for awhile as it came back to memory. I wasn't myself then,
******WARNING******This scene contains triggers. The author does not believe nor endorse the use of weapons or suicide. “This isn’t the time to be an idiot Yuuki, I promised I’d keep you alive. You’re important to me”“But what if something happens to you” I mumbled my lips trembling at the thought of him being out there all alone. “Don’t worry bone head. I’ll be safe. Don’t worry” I twisted, tossing back and forth the feeling of watching a memory and being in reality rocking me like a bob on a pendelum. My heart aches, though I don't know why. We were happy, so why do I feel so freaking empty? Energy moved through me like a pulse and like many times before what I'm seeing is now eaten up in swirling winds, before leaving me again. "Oh my god Yuuki! Will you just shut up!" Thomas glared at me, daring me to say another word. "I didn't think I'd be annoyed having you again"Offense taken! "Um, I'm offended thank you very much. And if I wanted to be told to shut up, I could've sta
My eyes skimmed my watch for the third time since we've sat waiting on Amy. May catches my glance, smiling wearily moving to pour her second fill. "Should I pour you a cup likewise?" " No" "When last have you fed, Aiden?" " I'm not hungry. How long will she be?" I questioned impatiently. "I'm not sure" May says staring through the door. "She's not normally late for anything. I'm sure she'll only be a few more minutes" "So you say" "I thought Hayden was going to oversee this meeting" "I'm also involved in the running of my Kingdom, May" "There's no need to be snippy about it. We're all on edge about what's going on."The corners of my mouth lift a little glancing at the vampire before me. "I'm not disturbed at all by the turn of events. I'm happy they happened in fact" "Lord Michaelis we lost many good vampires. Your apathetic demeanor will not be tolerated by many" "Would you give your life to save my own, May?" Her eyes widen but when she speaks I hear no words. There's
I awake with a loud gasp taking in all the air that could fill my lungs. I blink, my throat tender as I swallow forcing my saliva down. I'm no longer in the room I notice. Everywhere is filled with some form of antique, the room vast and the carpet flush against my skin. I'm on the ground. My body protests as I attempt to sit up and I come face to face with my attacker. Lady Amy watches me from her seat, drinking what I supposed was blood from a transparent glass. Her eyes change from red to grey then back. Maybe her own attempt to remind me who she was. An intimidation of sorts.I shuffle backwards attempting to get away, tears stinging my eyes, I don't want to die but my choices were limited. I wasn't equipped to fight a vampire and though Aiden had said I could harm him he had neglected to mention how. Garlic, silver, a stake? None of those were currently within my reach and I doubted the bitch kept garlic in her house."Oh come on, are you seriously trying to escape me? You should
Thomas is beside me, I'm wrapped in his arms but I'm still astonished to find him here. In some ways I thought I'll never see him again. That they've finally succeeded in taking him away from me. But he's here, warm and still clinging as usual. I sigh once more too trapped in my reverie to express much. I don't want to talk, to ruin this moment lest in some way he disappears from me.Yes I might be going crazy silently but do you blame me? I'm always stuck in a box with myself as company. I see nor hear anything. Completely blind to the world. It's sad. How fate has decided to launch me into unforgiving circumstances.Thomas nuzzles my hair taking a deep breath and I sigh tugging him a little closer towards me. I'm swinging. Swinging between bursting into tears or being completed incensed."I can't believe your back" I say finally finding the words."I know" Thomas answers holding me close."You didn't even write or anything. I wasn't sure if you w
My head collided with the cold concrete of the wall, taking a deep breath. I'm exhausted, weak and damn well deprived of sleep. Since I'm not taking their blood drugs I'm more tired than anyone else. My mind shifts to Yuuki for awhile. She's the only person that gets me going through the shitty days I've got. She's the reason why I'm doing this. I'm just praying she's still okay. Larry will take care of her, I know that but I can't help but worry.Lying here, I diffuse my restlessness with thoughts of her. The softness of her hair, the brightness of her smile, her laughter. Just how welcomed her warm body would feel against mine. God I missed her. I missed kissing her and holding her. Being apart for so long was driving me crazy. We weren't supposed to be apart, but here I am a hundred miles away from the woman I loved."No he didn't suspect a thing"" Are you sure? ""Of course I'm sure"I paused my reverie peaking around the column where I laid resting, seeing a woman and vampire Fe
"Ah Lord Michaelis. How good of you to honor the invitation." "Sir Vanriel," I reply. "Its been awhile."The aged vampire moved forward glancing me up and down. "Yes well, let's not be partisan here. It's more pleasant to address everyone with their titles" "It's that so? Then please forgive me, Council man, it seems I've forgotten my manners"His eyes move from me towards the figure that had now settled next to me, a look of complete astonishment on his face. "Well all my life. This must be your sibbling, yes?" The Councilman gestured to Hayden that was busy picking lint from his clothes, a sign that he's not interested in joining the conversation. "I don't think we've ever seen him." "Our parents moved back to Romania before he was born" "Right, right" He says still staring at my brother. "Though I'm going to have to resent his invitation. There's already a Michaelis attending, we can't have two. It's just not necessary" "Oh, is that how it is?" Hayden asks joining the borin
When we arrive, Aiden leaves completely ignoring me as usual. I do my best to remain indifferent but everything is worst than when the human bride was about. He is spaced out at times and even now his mood is absolutely fickle. When we were kids we hardly socialized together. He was always caught up in his father's work and when he wasn't he ignored everyone. Everyone except his brother. Then again he was only twelve.I try my best not to seem utterly displeased or disturbed by his demeanor anymore but I'm not always at my best. I can't hide how I feel or that the fact that he doesn't care for my feelings at all doesn't hurt. That woman has changed him for the worst, if anything it was better they had never met. Aiden doesn't have a bone of pleasantries left in his body which just makes him all the more terrifying. Especially since he looks so much like uncle Ashton.The large foryer is empty as I make my way into the house. I'm guessing with Aiden's less than pleasant demeanor coming
The chime of the store bell went off as I stepped inside, meeting the curious gazes of humans. Some stared indiscriminately while others averted their gazed hurrying from my way. As if I was dying from thirst and would most likely drain them. Only they weren't appealing as snacks, or any course of meal for that matter. I only had a craving for one blood and that was Yuuki's. Everything else was cheap gold. Completely useless. Making my way through the isle, I sought the books that Belle had read to me a few times. With nothing to do until Luke was back, because I hadn't bothered going through the piles of letters that lay in my study. I thought maybe reading would diminish the time. Though I knew my brother would have a field day with this. Sleeping was my next option but I wasn't ready yet. I grabbed four books with worn covers, and frail pages. There was always something soothing about old books. They told of experience, treasure, heart. Or maybe they just felt ancient in my hands
Everything was obsidian black. The same it had been for as long as I could remember. There were no windows, no clocks, nothing that hinted at the time of day. Time had no portion here. It was just black and cold. Always cold. I couldn’t tell if I was fat or skinny. Not that your size mattered, when you couldn’t even make out the outline of yourself, or view the fingers you held up. But I did tell myself that I was beautiful, to put some ease to my mumbling mind. Why was I here, in this condemned place? I hadn’t a clue. I didn’t know if my parents were trying to get rid of me, hoping I’d just finally die at some point. I barely remember their faces anymore. There were no visitors. Nothing, well, except for the scurry of a rat every now and again. It didn’t have to be a rat. Could have been something much worse, but I was still alive, so I guess not. Today was quiet, I noticed. There were no receding footsteps of anyone to or fro from here. I pushed my weakened body against the freez...
