Chapter 26
I remember that was one of the longest days of my existence. Molly and I endured the long drive back to Liverpool in grief-stricken silence. Neither of us talks about what happened. The tension and bitter emotions in the car were suffocating. Somehow, what had started as a family camping trip turned into tragedy. I racked my brain trying to understand what the Fuck went wrong! We stopped at a service station to fill up on gas. I made my way inside to buy some chocolate for Molly, she cried her eyes dry as she slept during the drive. I know how it is to lose a parent, nothing will except time dulls the pain. I am grateful to be here with her, no one should suffer it alone.
In the following weeks, I had informed her parents about the accident. I had met her father once at Molly's Graduation. I only wish life did not go this way. Lucinda made bad choices by excluding her family without giving a legitimate reason now, she is lost to them forever. Their comfort and mine areRelated chapters
The Beloved Chapter 27
It feels like it has been forever since I have seen my old friend Victor Nelson. Seeing him show up surprisingly in front of the building where my penthouse resides was a true delight. We embraced each other and took a stroll along the beachfront of Lake Michigan in Chicago by Navy pier. It was amazing to catch up with him since he has been absent from my life for so many years. I inquired how his mate is doing, where he is in life now. I was pleased to learn that he and his mate her very happy together, she helped him redirect his life, and he became a lawyer. I invited him to join my legal team, and be my official legal advisor if he will accept it.Later that night we enjoyed ourselves like old times. we traveled out of the city and painted each town we happened across red while satiating our thirsts. After hours of hunting, I do not even realize that I am once again in the clearing of anguish from so many years ago. The cabin is still there, a bit weathered by natur
The Beloved Chapter 28
Over the next few weeks it seems as if my life was filled with neverending chaos. An endless parade of meetings, media appearances and paparrazzi. Filthy parasites! and werewolves give me derogatory names. Paparazzi make me want to go on a killing spree and suck them all dry! Trying to walk out of my apartment building during common hours of the day is daunting, they are literally right in my face at times. When they begin to pester me too much I improvise, solve my problem, by inviting them over for a "night cap" of my own. I still remember last week, during an evening which was a really difficult day for me. I felt so suffocated, I had not hunted in what felt like awhile, and a photographer, who could have been gorgeous if given the right style clothing, would not stop pestering me, she was very bold and in my face. I snapped, compelled her to come to my Penthouse in the late hours. That was a very entertaining night, we spent long hours tangled in my guest bedroom sheets, as I sa

The weeks passed, life started to feel tedious. Going through the daily motions of being a "human" multi-billionaire was starting to grow old. I will never give up my business however, a part of the longs for some time off, just like Charles is enjoying. Perhaps I should connect with Victor now that he has returned to the city. We used to have some wild fun before he found his mate he had a great time painting the town red. I miss the hunting trips, that was a different world though, with a lot less technology, easier to lurk and hunt in small towns.I decide to do something which I have not done in years and should have done ages ago. I am going to see the Coven Council. I need to shake things up in my life, and it starts by demanding the claim which they know I rightfully deserved. I know that many of them do not like me, degenerate, outdated old leeches. I know who I rightfully am, and they have been holding me back. Out of all those blood-sucking parasites, only a h

The time is slowly starting to arrive when I reveal myself to my old friend. For years I have been keeping a close watch on Hunter Eldridge. I am disgusted with what I have seen, he really has gone from a ruthless dark lord to a human-loving marshmallow. I have been watching over Hunter for years, with each passing year he makes one mistake after another.I pace around my secluded mansion, this is where I have been for decades, as I let him believe that I died that fateful night. It was my push for him to overcome his wallowing for that human bitch. He needed to move on from his dearly beloved and embrace his darkness, once he did, I knew he would become a ruthless monster!

The flight felt like it lasted for hours before the plane finally landed. I was relieved to be exiting the plane, as soon as I was outside, on located my car. I am very thankful to Ms. Tomes for arranging for my driver William to meet me at my location."Hello, Mr. Eldridge" he greets me with a professional smile."Hello Will, how is the family?" I ask him as I place myself in the back seat. He informs me during the drive of their wellbeing. He tells me that his son just graduated from Yale with honors. As I exit the car I give him five hundred in cash as congratulations for his son after I remove my luggage. Shocked with a smile, he thanks me as he drives away. I head to the concierge desk. The woman behind the desk is blatantly ignoring me while talking on the phone, in what appears to be a personal call. I think right there if I should invest in buying this whole to hire acceptable people! I clear my throat "Ahem! excuse me, miss!" I speak loudly
The Beloved Chapter 32
I stand here in this hotel hallway while I stare at the Vampiric face of my wife!It is so hard to comprehend unless, Bathilda did not kill her, and my cloudy human eyes deceived me. It was so dark that night, anything could have happened. I heard her scream, I saw her body lying on the ground unmoving. My only conclusion is that she had been drained to the point of unconsciousness and turned. That is a stretch but, possible. She looks at me as if she has no idea who I am?"Sir, are you alright?" I stammer then speak "forgive me, miss, you look exactly someone I used to know". Not knowing what else to say. She giggles "I get that at times, my name is Veronica Powers" she greets me as she smiles. Veronica was Eliza's middle name. I am completely beside myself. She smiles until her phone goes off. She pales, and starts to shake "oh no!" she whispers. I look at her with concern for the fear I feel coming from her. I stand here while my party watches from afar.

Tonight marks a historical change in the Vampiric world, here tonight in this grand manor which is isolated in the upper state new york countryside.

I am also glad that I was able to help Elizabeth claim the revenge she has sought her three hundred years existence since lord byron stole her life from her. I hated that man, sickening maggot, I never want to know just how many lives he destroyed on his "conquests" for the vampiric race. He was disgusting, the world does not need Vampires such as him.&nb

Camille's P.O.VThe sun poured in through my blinds, reminding me that today was a new day. Another shit show. I rolled over in my bed to look at my alarm clock. Fuck, it was seven in the morning, why did morning have to come so soon. I prefer the night, time to party and have fun in life."Camille! Are you awake?" I heard Allison shout as she came up the stairs. Just fucking great, her with her peppy attitude, I am not going to be able to go back to sleep once she enters the room. I am staying with her this weekend, I stay with her every night I come home from Portland. This time, it is the holidays, woohoo.
