All Chapters of Passions Rising: A Forbidden Vampiric Love Story: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

Edith dropped by with correspondence for Ana and waited with her. When Ana looked at the envelopes, she saw her father’s royal seal and her slow heartbeat sped up and she felt like she couldn’t catch her breath. Ana ended up settling into a chair before she fell down and took a moment to compose herself. “It’s from my father and it’s addressed to me. His seal is on both. It’s official correspondence.” “Yes, he entrusted me to find a way to get it to you. Now this one is an official invitation to his mating celebration. But I’m dying to know what’s in this one. So, go on and open it up. Tell me what it says.” “Oh, yes, open it. It’s a good thing he sent an invitation to me, right?” “It could go one of two ways. He wants you to return and be part of the royal house again. Or he wants you back to kill you. We won’t know until you read the letter carefully.” “Read, right? Carefully.

“So, we’re agreed. We’re going to risk returning to the Vampiric Court?” Ana watched George as he packed his bag. Someone could pack everything else and return it when to them when they knew exactly what was happening. “Yes, George. I can’t see us allowing this chance to get away from us. Let’s go back and see what my father has to say. If this is all real, then we have nothing to worry about. I know my father’s handwriting, and this is his handwriting.” Ana wanted nothing more than to go back to the palace and her father’s court. She’d never believe that she’d miss the place and its terrible memories. What they would find and what would happen to them was what worried Ana. “I know we have problems with many things, and I doubt we’ll get away scot free, because my father has proof that we broke several laws. What I believe we can see when we get there is at best some form of punishment for not staying put in the dungeon, because he won’t be able to

Ana entered the suite first, followed by Caun and finally Edger. A smartly dressed couple stood there waiting for them. They weren’t in the royal livery, though they clearly wore a livery. It wasn’t unusual in the days before Adriana’s birth for other leaders to have their servants in their own livery. There were a few these days, but many were no longer used since the houses no longer existed. “The Emperor took it upon himself to outfit your servants in your personal livery. This is Jacque and Rachel. They will ace as your personal maid and valet.”Ana nodded at them in recognition. These were people her father hired for them, and that was fine. They knew enough not to say anything suspicious in front of them. The pair curtseyed and Ana dismissed them. “We’ll speak later. I’m sure you have plenty to keep you busy. Are my weapons going to be a problem for her Edger?”“No, Princess, she has received training to look after, maintain, and store your weapons appropriately should the need

Ana couldn’t help it. When they entered the private well-lit moon garden of the Vampiric Emperor, she had to marvel at the artistry of it’s many curated garden paths. It was like a maze laid out before her and put Tatiana’s garden to shame. Here her father could find a little quiet solitude away from the prying eyes of his courtiers and guards alike and he guarded that privacy as if it were more precious than gold itself. She held onto Caun’s arm as they entered the space and stepped down toward the pathway Edger used to lead them to her father. The gravel that made up the surface of the path crunched softly under their feet as they followed. The sounds of night birds in the trees floated down to them as a few random lightning bugs flitted between the trees, and the space looked like someone had infused it with a sweet healing magic that was full of warmth and gentleness.“I have to say I like your father’s choice of private spaces. Between this and

Evening of the Celebration of the Life Partner Pairing Adriana thought it was crazy to see the clothing laid out for Caun and her. She’d never seen Caun every in such regalia and her own unique sense of fashion so intricately woven into the more traditional garb of a formal event. Instead of a full-length gown with sashes, ruffles, and silk flowers enveloping it. Ana wore a full dress with a closed slit up the front of the gown. Beneath it, she wore a pair of trousers and boots. Her bodice was a beauty with false draping that allowed her to wear a short, cropped jacket that Matched Caun’s jacket only it was far shorter. It was feminine, but allowed her to show her rank as the Vampiric Ambassador and a soldier within her father’s military. Which pleased her greatly because it meant her skills weren’t a dirty secret or an embarrassment to her father. Ana’s lady’s maid didn’t have a comment or criticism about anything she assisted Ana
