I stared at the two men standing on the lower deck, surrounded by Rosanna’s men.
My eyes drifted to Lucas first, because he seemed to be the one who looked slightly different from before…and maybe because I was trying to avoid looking at Damien for as long as I could.
Lucas had grown out his hair so that it now reached his shoulders. He also seemed to have gotten a tan, but still there was a familiarity to him that I was used to. All this time apart and he still managed to give me a smile without the hint of any shadows from the past. I smiled back nervously, not knowing why he was here in the first place. Last night, Neema had said that he was coming, not they. And yet, here they were, both men that I had thought I had outrun almost a year ago.
“I presume you have a good reason to be here, King Damien Vandolff and Alpha Lucas Donovan?” Rosanna‘s voice was calm and yet

Chapter 8:Trisha’s P.O.VIt took a while for his words to register, but when it did, I was about ready to strangle him to death myself.“You’re planning on going to the Elder’s Court?” I asked even though I already knew the answer. “Do you really want to die that badly?”“I’m afraid I’d be dead either way.” Damien gave me a sarcastic smile. “Might as well go down trying.”“You think this is funny?” I asked through gritted teeth, trying to put up an angry front so that Damien wouldn’t know what was going on inside me. “You’re putting the entire race’s future on the line here! Everyone in the land looks up to you; trusts you to protect them! What happens to all those people? What happens to all the centuries that you’ve ruled over them with promises of a better future?” What happens to me

Trisha’s P.O.V“So, how did it go for the two of you?” Rosanna asked as she unboxed another fancy wine bottle from one of the boxes that Damien had brought along with him as a peace offering.“Fine.” I told her curtly, my mind full of dread for the future. Damien and I had arrived back on the Shelter later in the evening where everyone had pretty much assumed that we wouldn’t return at all.According to some of the Shelter’s gossip vines, Lucas had thrown a tantrum at having been left behind and Rosanna had pretty much sulked all day until Neema had reassured her that I was coming back. But Damien had brought in enough rations with him so that Rosanna and her crew could spend the winter months in comfort without having to eat canned soups and stale bread. The wine had been an instant hit and so had the fresh meats and fruits. As a result, Rose had declared that we’d be having a feast tonight, in ho

Trisha’s P.O.V“What do you want?” I asked her wearily.“I don’t steal another’s man, Trisha.” Rosanna gave a cunning smile. “But he’s available and he’s powerful. If you don’t act fast, don’t sulk when you find him in my bed tomorrow morning.” With that she turned and left my room.I unclenched my fists, finally aware of the sting and the feeling of blood dripping down my fingers. I brought my hands up in front of me and plopped down on to the bed as I watched the tiny half-moon shaped marks heal in front of my eyes. It only took a few seconds for them to be completely healed.Rosanna was right; Damien was powerful and very much single. Everyone’s eyes will be on him tonight and so will Rosanna’s. She’s a very sexual woman, and she is drop dead gorgeous. I wouldn’t be surprised if I did find Damien in her bed tonight.NO

Chapter 11:Trisha’s P.O.VDamien sat up on the bed with me still straddling him; his hands wrapped around my body to bring me closer to him. It was like every cell in my body came back to screaming life. If possible, this felt even better than the first kiss we shared that night with the castle burning behind us. It felt like I’d take my first breath of fresh air after an eon.I wound my hands at his nape, bringing our bodies even closer. Damien bit down on my lip with his fangs, hard enough to make me gasp, but not enough to make me bleed and then he took the opportunity to thrust his tongue into my mouth, tasting every corner and battling my tongue for dominance. Tugging hard on my hair, he pulled my head back on a groan and then he trailed hot, wet kisses down my throat, past my collar bone and just above my breasts.We were both being impatient, as if trying to make up for all the time we had lost.

Chapter 12:Trisha’s P.O.V:It was late into the night when I was woken up from my sleep.It was a strange new sensation for me, to wake up in the arms of the man I loved, but it was a sensation that I would very much welcome for the rest of my life.Damien had curled himself around me and he was fast asleep. He looked so peaceful that I just wanted to snuggle back into him and never wake up. I don’t think he’s ever been able to sleep next to anyone like this before; he must’ve been really tired. I brought up my hand to his face to brush away the strands of hair that had fallen on to his forehead. When he didn’t rise, I brought my face closer to his and placed a soft kiss to his lips.When he still didn’t rise, I took the opportunity to go check on Neema. He’ll be fast asleep at this point, but I had this guilty feeling in my gut for not being able to put him to bed tonight

Chapter 13:Trisha’s P.O.V:An old sensation of fear and anger gripped my heart. I wasn’t going to deal with this again! Man and King, I accept them both and if it meant my heart skipping a beat every time I disobeyed an order or every time I found that he could have insecurities like any normal male, then so be it. No matter who spoke to me, it would always be Damien, my Damien. And that Damien was now looking at me with doubt written all over his face. It felt like he wanted to tell me something but couldn’t.Well, I wasn’t going to let those insecurities taint our lives anymore, not when we had already wasted so much time already. So, I tightened my fist in his hair and pulled back his head so that his neck was exposed to me. Without thinking, I brought my lips to the vulnerable column of his throat and bit into it with my fangs extended.A groan of pleasure escaped Damien’s lips and soon,

Chapter 14:Trisha’s P.O.V:The next morning, the four of us stood in Rosanna’s office, around a large world map trying to find out the best possible way to take care of the dire situation in front of us.“Trisha, before we start, mind telling me why are these two here?” Damien asked, pointing towards Lucas and Rose.“How ungrateful.” Rose puffed up her cheeks childishly, her long red hair flowing down to her hips, grabbing everyone’s attention while Lucas just raised an eyebrow at Damien saying, “You’re the one that dragged me into this.”“Damien,” I touched his hand lightly. “This is important. They’re here to help. You’re the King of all vampires across the globe and if something happens to you, it affects all of them too.” I urged him to look me in the eye so he could understand. “You can trust them. I do.&rdqu

And, please don’t take this as an insult but he has access to far older lawyers with much more experience.”“None taken,” I reassured Lucas before answering his question. “It’s because I…and now you guys, are the only ones who know that Damien isn’t King Dominic’s son and he can’t risk more people finding out. The older and more experienced a lawyer, the more set in their ways they are and more likely to agree with the Elders jurisdiction rather than

Trisha’s P.O.VEverything is a lie.My life, my love…everything.I couldn’t tell the difference between reality and dreams and the more I thought, the more my head pounded, making me feel sick to my stomach.This wasn’t the first time that my life had turned upside down within a moment’s notice. But this was the first time in my life I wanted to question whatever divine power ruled the universe…why did they keep me alive?My entire town in the countryside had been slaughtered. No one had been left alive as the werewolves shred through the populace, splattering blood and guts on the walls and ending precious lives one by one like it didn’t mean anything. My precious little boy, my David, as well as my husband and my mother…they had all died a painful death as the wolves entered out house, breaking through concrete and used their sharp claws and fangs to rip everyone to shreds.

Trisha’s P.O.V“Damnit!” I threw aside another book that had a promising title but did not have what I needed!I needed scandals and dirt on the Elders, not flowery words and love poems on their beauty! So yes, I was pissed off enough to throw around books that had hundreds of years of history, but I wasn’t a monster, so I instantly regretted my decision and ran after said book, picking it up from the floor and properly keeping them back in place after making sure I hadn't made any damages.So far the only thing I had gathered was that the Council consisted of four members, three men and one woman. They were considered over ten thousand years in age and they were certainly not the first vampires, but…the last of the first? And there was more misinformation about the Elders than information, because the records kept varying from one data to another.So not only was I angry, I was frustrated and exhausted and

What subject?” I went to sit on his bed as he made room for me.“Math.” He showed me what he was working on. “The teacher said I need to finish by tomorrow, but I’m sleepy.”“Really?” I raised my eyebrows at his sheepish smile. “Who was it that stayed past their bedtime again?”“Sorry.” He wrapped an arm around my waist and placed his head on my chest, holding on to me tightly. “But it was your and Damien’s wedding! I couldn’t miss it!”Smiling, I wrapped my arms around my precious boy. “Ne

Trisha’s P.O.VThat night, Damien and I held our reception in the ship’s deck with everyone on deck having the time of their lives as we celebrated our union. Lucas and Rose seemed to be enjoying themselves a bit too much and it did raise some eyebrows, but in a good way.If Rose and Lucas decide to be together, I would be really happy for them. They had both been through a lot in their lives and they deserved their happiness.Neema seemed ecstatic as he danced away with the crew, so much so that I almost missed his bedtime. But I guess, skipping bedtime for one day wouldn’t hurt, right? This was further from the calm before the storm. This was us coming together to celebrate one small victory. And even though I was a bit worried about the amount of pastries he had consumed today and skipped his bedtime, I was willing to let it slide just this once.It was a beautiful star filled night and the ocean was quiet for the mos

Trisha’s P.O.VI walked out of the room with my father, Lucas and Rose following behind us, but they separated from us as we neared the altar.The music was light and the entire hall was filled with the scent of fragrant flowers. White roses were used as decoration, but within the purity of the white, I spotted the dark velvet petals of the black roses. However, behind the altar, there was a humongous garland made completely of black roses and it was just magnificent.Candles illuminated the room along with the electric chandeliers; it was a mix of the old and the new. I think it was a harmonious match, just like Damien and me. He was over nine centuries old while I was only two. Vampires didn’t count years as humans did and I had long since understood that passage of time for us was far different, but somewhere deep in my heart, the heart that had once been human, told me in a wondrous whisper that Damien might just have waited for

Trisha’s P.O.VI stared at the mirror across the room, unable to recognize the woman staring back at me.Damien had kept his promise. He was giving me everything I had always wanted. A grand wedding at the castle with only the staff and close friends in attendance. And a wedding dress that would be the source of envy for many a woman.The dress was pure white with a boat neck and fit bodice, but the bottom half was a flared skirt with the most gorgeous pearl embroidery I had ever seen. The sleeves were full and it was embroidered the same, with real pearls and even though there was so much decoration, the fabric was soft and breathable. The person who had done my makeup had told me that this was all Damien’s special request and that he had ordered it half a year ago. I had no idea what to feel after knowing that Damien had been planning for this way ahead of time.My stylist had even changed my hair by removing the black dye a

Trisha’s P.O.V“Damien wh-?”The world was engulfed in darkness for a few seconds and then, we were no longer inside the jungle and the ruins of the Avestenin castle. The room Damien had taken me into was dark as well and before my night vision could kick in, I saw tiny flames flicker to life.Candles. There were hundreds of them all around the room and once all of them were lit up, I found myself in a fairytale. A huge chandelier hung from the ceiling and the crystals scattered the light of the candles in all directions making it look like fractured starlight on the walls. There was a huge bed in the middle of the room and the windows were draped with blood red silk curtains. There wasn’t much furniture in the room except for the bed, a large closet and a vanity, but it was spacious and beautiful. Since the curtains were drawn, I couldn’t see outside and also because wherever we were, it was night time; but I heard

Trisha’s P.O.VRose and I joined Damien and Lucas on the table and Rose motioned for Rissa, the woman in charge of the Kitchen, to bring out our food.I was given a bag of blood along with a small bowl of beef stew and rice, while Damien was just given a bag of blood and a suspicious look. I gave Rissa a disappointed glance, but Damien shook his head, accepting the blood without complaints.“So? Any progress with the expedition?” Rose asked outright, getting straight to the point. “You didn’t immediately teleport back, so I’m assuming you had some form of success.”Damien nodded, taking a sip of his blood. “I found the castle. There was a fountain in the courtyard with the statue of a baby angel. It was made completely of jade, that’s why I remembered it. Turns out, that statue is still in pristine condition.”“And the castle?” I asked, a sliver of hope bloomin
