Vampires Don't Give Love Bites Part Thirty One
Lily's mother leaned forward, her eyes holding a mixture of pride and sorrow. "There's more," she said, her voice dropping to a near whisper. "While vampires are technically immortal and quite difficult to kill, Lily and I... well, we’re almost impossible to kill."The words sent a shiver down Lily's spine. She'd always known she was different, but hearing it stated so plainly made her feel suddenly alien, even in her own skin. She watched Caspian's face carefully, searching for any sign of fear or revulsion."It's one of the curses of our bloodline," her mother continued, her fingers tracing the rim of her whiskey glass. "There's a strong chance she would outlive you, Caspian."Lily's breath caught in her throat. She hadn't allowed herself to think that far ahead, to imagine a future where she might have to watch Caspian fade away while she remained eternally youthful. The weight of potential loss settled heavily on her chest.Her mother's face fell, a shadow of old pain crossing her

"There are other things too," she continued, her voice husky. "We can…""Astral projection," her mother interjected smoothly, her tone matter-of-fact. "The ability to separate our consciousness from our physical bodies and travel great distances."Lily blinked, momentarily thrown off balance. She'd almost forgotten that particular skill. "Right," she nodded, shooting her mother a grateful look. "And we can manipulate energy fields, create protective barriers…""And heal," her mother added softly. "Both ourselves and others, to an extent."The weight of these revelations hung heavy in the air, thick with unspoken implications. Lily could feel Caspian's gaze on her, intense and searching. She wondered what he was thinking, whether these truths would change how he saw her. The vulnerability of the moment was almost overwhelming, a stark contrast to her usual guarded demeanor. Lily's mother leaned forward, her eyes glinting with a mixture of pride and concern. "These abilities are extrao

"The next topic," her mother continued, her voice dropping to a near whisper, "is Gideon."Lily's breath caught in her throat at the mention of that name. Images flashed through her mind: piercing green eyes, a relentless pursuit, the constant fear of being hunted. She unconsciously leaned closer to Caspian, seeking comfort in his solid presence."Who is this Gideon? Other than a hunter?" Caspian asked, his arm tightening protectively around Lily.Lily closed her eyes, steeling herself. When she opened them, her gaze met her mother's, a silent communication passing between them. It was time to reveal another dangerous piece of her past, one that could change everything. Lily took a deep breath, the scent of old books and lingering magic filling her lungs. She turned to face Caspian, her fingers tracing nervous patterns on the worn leather of the armchair."Gideon Thorne," she began, her voice low and laced with a mix of regret and apprehension, "is a vampire I was... involved with wh

Lily's mother pursed her lips, her brow furrowing with concern. The room seemed to darken, shadows creeping in at the edges as she spoke the words Lily had been dreading to hear:"If he's here, we can assume he wants to force Lily into a bond again."A chill ran down Lily's spine, icy tendrils of fear gripping her heart. The warmth of Caspian's arms around her suddenly felt like a fragile shield against the looming threat. She closed her eyes, inhaling his comforting scent of sandalwood and spice, trying to ground herself in the present moment."No," Lily whispered, her voice barely audible. "I won't let him."But even as the words left her lips, doubt gnawed at her. Memories of Gideon's relentless pursuit flooded her mind - his obsessive determination, the predatory glint in his eyes. She shuddered, remembering how close he'd come to succeeding last time.Caspian's grip tightened protectively. "I won't let him near you," he growled, a dangerous edge to his voice. Lily's mother sighe

Lily's mother cleared her throat softly, drawing their attention back to her. Her eyes, so like Lily's own, held a mixture of concern and resignation as she spoke."From what Lily has told me," she began, her voice measured and careful, "I believe it is very likely you two are destined mates."The words hung in the air, heavy with implication. Lily felt her breath catch in her throat, her heart thundering against her ribcage. She glanced at Caspian, searching his face for a reaction.His expression was inscrutable, but his hand tightened almost imperceptibly around hers. Lily could feel the tension radiating off him in waves, could almost taste the conflicting emotions swirling beneath his carefully controlled exterior."Destined mates," Caspian repeated, his voice low and thoughtful. "I've heard whispers of such bonds, but I never..." He trailed off, his gaze locked with Lily's.Her mother's voice cut through her jumbled thoughts. "It's rare, but not unheard of. It’s been centuries s

"Well, well," her mother said, her eyes twinkling. "It seems you've let go of your reservations, haven't you, dear?"Heat rushed to Lily's cheeks as she nodded, acutely aware of Caspian's hand still resting on her knee. She glanced at him, noticing the confusion etched on his handsome features."What do you mean?" Caspian asked, his brow furrowed.Lily's mother settled into her armchair, her gaze moving between the two of them. "The reason Lily smelled so strongly of you earlier, Caspian, isn't just because you marked her. You've claimed her, instinctively, when you stopped fighting the bond."Lily felt a tremor run through Caspian's body, his grip on her knee tightening ever so slightly. She placed her hand over his, offering silent reassurance."And now," her mother continued, her voice soft but intent, "Lily has stopped fighting it too. She's claimed you in return."The air in the room seemed to thicken, charged with an electric tension that made Lily's skin prickle. She turned to

The door clicked shut, leaving Lily and Caspian alone in the softly lit living room. Shadows danced across the walls, cast by flickering candles that filled the air with the heady scent of jasmine and vanilla. Lily exhaled slowly, her shoulders relaxing as she turned to face Caspian."I have to admit," she said, her voice barely above a whisper, "I did not expect my mother to take my relationship with a vampire this well." A wry smile played at the corners of her lips.Caspian's silver eyes gleamed in the dim light as he moved closer, his movements fluid and predatory. "Are you disappointed?" he asked, a hint of amusement in his smooth voice. "Did you hope for more drama?"Lily felt a shiver run down her spine as he approached, her skin tingling with awareness. She shook her head, red curls bouncing. "No, not disappointed. Just... surprised." Her gaze fell to his lips, then quickly darted away. "I've spent so long being cautious, always looking over my shoulder. It's strange to have s

The water lapped gently around them, creating a soothing rhythm that seemed to sync with their heartbeats. Caspian's fingers traced lazy patterns on her skin, sending shivers down her spine despite the warmth of the bath."Is that so?" he whispered, his lips brushing against her ear. "And here I thought you were just using me as a comfortable backrest."Lily chuckled, the sound rich and genuine. She tilted her head back, resting it on his shoulder to look up at him. "Well, you are rather comfortable. But I suppose the company isn't half bad either."Her emerald eyes locked with his, a spark of mischief dancing in their depths. The tension between them crackled, electric and alive, but there was no rush, no urgency. For once, Lily felt no need to be on guard, to analyze every word and gesture."Tell me something, Caspian," she said softly, her fingers intertwining with his beneath the water. "In all your years, have you ever felt... at peace like this?"The question hung in the air, we

He looked up at her, his eyes glinting with a predatory hunger that reminded her of what he truly was. His fingers toyed with the edge of her thong, the delicate lace a flimsy barrier between them."Yes, my little witch?" he purred, his breath cool against her heated skin.Lily struggled to form coherent thoughts, caught between the intoxicating sensations he was evoking and the nagging voice in the back of her mind reminding her of the enormity of their union - witch and vampire, destined mates defying centuries of animosity."I..." she began, but words failed her as Caspian's fingers slipped beneath the lace.His touch was feather-light, gentle despite his obvious strength.

Under her breath, she murmured words in an ancient tongue, her voice barely audible but thrumming with power. The air seemed to thicken, shimmering faintly in the dim light of the room. Caspian felt a prickle along his skin, the hair on his arms standing on end as Lily's magic unfurled around them.Damien shifted uneasily, his curiosity getting the better of him. "What exactly are you…"Before he could finish, Lily shot him a pointed glance over her shoulder. The intensity in her green eyes was enough to make even the vampire take a step back. Damien's mouth snapped shut, his question dying on his lips.Caspian couldn't help but feel a surge of pride mixed with desire.

The crystal chandelier cast dancing shadows across the opulent living room as Caspian sank into a plush velvet armchair, his long fingers curling around a cut-crystal tumbler of aged whiskey. The amber liquid glowed in the dim light, mesmerising as he swirled it gently. Lily perched on the arm of his chair, her bright blue dress a vivid splash of colour against the room's rich, dark tones.Damien sprawled across the leather sofa opposite them, legs stretched out languidly. "So," he drawled, "how exactly did you two lovebirds discover you were 'destined mates'?" His lips quirked in a smirk. "I have to admit, I'm dying to know the details."Caspian's silver eyes flicked to Lily, a silent question. She gave a slight nod."It was rather unexpected…" Caspian began, his smooth voice filling the room. He trail

"Actually," Caspian said, his voice low and smooth, "I was thinking we might all head back to our place." He turned to Lily, silver eyes searching her face. "It's just Damien and I there. You're more than welcome to join us, if you'd prefer not to go home."Lily's mind raced, weighing the implications. The thought of seeing Caspian's home, of spending the night surrounded by his scent, was intoxicating. And yet, a small voice in the back of her mind whispered caution.She smiled, pushing aside her reservations. "That sounds good," she said, her voice huskier than she'd intended.Damien's eyebrows shot up, a wicked grin spreading across his face. "Well, well," he drawled, leaning in conspiratorially. "Far be it from me to stand in the way of young love. Or old love, as the case may be." He winked at Caspi

As Elena and Fern disappeared into the crowd, Lily couldn't shake the feeling that she'd just set something dangerous in motion. The weight of her decision settled on her shoulders like a heavy cloak, and she prayed to whatever forces were listening that her trust hadn't been misplaced.Caspian's silver eyes flickered with concern as he studied Lily's face. His thumb traced soothing circles on her palm, the cool touch a stark contrast to the heat of anxiety coursing through her veins. He leaned in close, his lips brushing her ear as he whispered, "What's done is done, love. We'll face whatever comes together."His words, laced with centuries of wisdom and unwavering support, calmed the storm brewing inside her. Lily nodded, allowing herself to relax into his embrace for a moment before turning her attention to Damien.

She cleared her throat, searching for a way to redirect the conversation. "So, Damien," she said, infusing her voice with a lightness she didn't feel, "Caspian tells me you have quite the talent for...mixology. Any cocktails you'd recommend?"Damien's eyes glinted with sudden mischief, a slow smile spreading across his face. "Oh, I thought you'd never ask," he purred, rubbing his hands together with exaggerated glee. "I'll be right back."Before anyone could protest, he vanished into the pulsing crowd of the bar. The heavy bass thrummed through Lily's bones, matching the quickening of her pulse. She cast a questioning glance at Caspian, who merely shrugged, a mix of amusement and wariness in his eyes.Moments later, Damien reappeared, his arms laden with an assortment of bottles, their glass surfaces catching the low light of the bar. A cocktail shaker dangled precariously from his fingers, and a stack of glasses balanced in the crook of his elbow.As he

The tension at the table was palpable, thick enough to cut with a knife. Lily could feel the waves of disapproval radiating from Elena, contrasting sharply with Caspian's quiet support. The air felt heavy, charged with unspoken words and centuries of ingrained animosity.Suddenly, Fern's gentle voice cut through the suffocating atmosphere. "I may not fully understand it," she said, her warm brown eyes flickering between Lily and Caspian, "but I believe in it. And I'm happy for you both."Lily felt a rush of gratitude towards her friend, her chest tightening with emotion. Fern's acceptance, so freely given, was like a balm to her frayed nerves.Fern's lips quirked into a mischievous smile. "I promise I'll try not to hiss at Caspian too loudly in public," she added with a wink.

Elena's gaze flickered between them, her lips pressed into a thin line. The tension at the table was palpable, thick enough to cut with a knife. Lily's mind raced, torn between the desire to defend her choices and the fear of losing one of her oldest friends."You don't know what you're getting into," Elena whispered, her voice barely audible over the pulsing beat of the music. There was something in her eyes – was it concern? Or something darker?Lily shrugged, the movement causing her bright blue dress to shimmer under the bar's moody lighting. "Life is unpredictable," she said. The words hung in the air, heavy with unspoken implications.Elena's eyes narrowed, a dangerous glint flickering in their depths. She leaned forward, her raven hair cascading over her shoulders like a curtain of shadow. "Does he know

Beside her, Fern's eyes darted between the vampires, her fingers twitching as if ready to cast a protective spell at any moment.Caspian's arm tightened around Lily's waist. "Elena, Fern," he nodded, his voice carefully neutral. "Allow me to properly introduce you to my brother, Damien."Damien stepped forward, extending a hand. "A pleasure," he said smoothly.Elena's eyes raked over him appreciatively, the hostility in her gaze dimming slightly.
