They continued eating in silence, with Johan growing more and more uneasy with the silence."The food is nice," she said as a way to break the ice."Yes, the servants know their way around." Alistair nodded."Why do you keep referring to them as servants?" Johan asked. "Why not maids?" "Because that is what they are. Servants, here to serve me. Besides, it is an upgrade from the word slaves. My mother was the one to make the name change, because it seemed…" He trailed off with a chuckle.Derek pointed his fork at the vampire king. "I noticed that some of them look no older than, what? Ten. Why is that so?"Alistair chuckled, "I have servants at all different age ranges. With the youngest being no older than five and the eldest being in her nineties. They all were prices." Derek narrowed his eyes. "You say all that as if it is ok.""Well, wolf. In my kingdom, it is. They work, they live and play. We are all used to it, with them accepting their faiths ages ago.""How did you even com
"Can I go? I have no idea what you are talking about." October whispered but everyone heard her perfectly."No my bride, you have to be involved in everything pertaining to this kingdom. You are queen, and have to rule by my side.''"Don't blame me if I fall asleep," she told him."You can lean on my shoulder," Alistair told her.October took that as a cue to go sit in his lap, where she curled up and rested her head on his chest.Alistair placed one protective arm around her, before kissing the top of her head."Alistair, my beta and I wish to speak with you in private. Without our mate and bride." Gore said.Harlow glared at Gore, wondering what was so important for her to be left out of talks about the fate of the world.Alistair laughed at his niece's expression, then said. "Very well, but I'm sure you have to answer to Harlow later."October looked up at Alistair. "Yes, you may leave." He told her.Harlow only left because she wanted to know more about the bride of her uncle, and
When Harlow went back to her room, she found Gore pacing the length of the floor. "Hey there, big guy." "Where have you been?" He rushed over to her. "Helping my uncle. Why do you seem so worried?" "Because I didn't know where you were, and in a place filled with vamps anything could have happened." "Oh Gore, I'm family. You should see the way they bow to me." Harlow smiled. "But to ease your worried mind, I was helping my uncle with his bride. He changed her just now." "Really? I was wondering why she was still human. I thought he had her for blood, but not seeing any bite marks…" Gore trailed off when Harlow narrowed her eyes at him. "Vampires don't drink from their mate. I don't take your blood, not do I?" "No, sorry." "October has the darkness as well. Alistair didn't know, but Onyx did, which is baffling. Anyway, with her being a human, the darkness was consuming her. Making her sick, and to make it worse. A servant tried to kill her." "What?" All this happened, and I di
"If you couldn't take my darkness, what makes you think that you can take theirs? And even so, we both know that, that stone has no true power unless Scarlet is the one using it. So you stole it from her people for no reason at all." Harlow gave a mocking laugh. Before Onyx could come up with a comeback, Harlow took a deep breath, which caused her uncle to levitate off the ground without him noticing. It was after he slowly floated towards her did he take notice and struggle. "I'm also more powerful than your jinn now." Harlow smirked. Onyx laughed, trying to hide his fear, but they were cut off when something invisible wrapped around his neck. His eyes bulged out. He tried to move but couldn't. He struggled then, started to yell, but no words came from his mouth. Harlow gave him a wide smile, baring her fangs. "See how easy it is to kill you, my uncle? Right now you are nothing but a little pest to us all, and we will eradicate all of you that wish to upset the order of things.
“Katrina, run." The warlock told the female."But-""Run, just run. Don't worry about me or even look back. As soon as I kill this abomination, I'll come find you.""See now, I came here all good and shit, but I don't like disrespect.""But you are an abomination. You are two things that everyone fears and hates.""You are a warlock! Which makes you no different from me.""I don't kill people." "Neither do I!""Murdoch, I think it is best if we give her the pendant. Maybe that will stop them from always coming after us.""No Katrina, if you do-""It's fine. My eyesight isn't worth all this trouble. I rather to surrender this thing if will keep us safe." The female said."Your eyesight?" Harlow questioned."Yes, I am blind. I lost my eyesight in a car accident when I was a child. But ever since I found this thing, it gave me perfect vision. But with that came a lot of creatures trying to take it from me.""That's incredible, the power of the vessel can truly work miracles""I think so
Harlow leant back on a tree, painting the scenic view that surrounded her. She was tired from all the extensive training they were doing. She didn't see the need for it, since things came naturally to them. It was their instinct to protect themselves and kill whoever tried to threaten them.After seeing that her painting wasn't coming out as she wanted it to, she drew a white line through it."Well, that sucks." She huffed, blowing hair from her face.Just then, October appeared, floating before her."Sorry to startle you," October said.Harlow chuckled. "Startle you say? Trust me, there are few things that I fear or can get a raise out of me.""I want to thank you for helping me.""It was no bother.'' Harlow waved her off.October smiled, showing off fangs."I also came here to tell you a few things I have learnt from Grace, the servant girl who tried to kill me."Harlow moved forward on the branch she was sitting on."What did you learn?" "It's about Onyx and the witch of his." Oct
"Is everything in place? Are the others that you have contacted truly on our side?" Harlow asked."Yes, I'm sure of it. They all want to stop Onyx and get their family back, everyone want things to go back to the way it was." Gore assured her."Good, everything is in place. I'm sure that we will stop that overly ambitious idiot.''Gore rolled to his back, pulling Harlow on top of him where he played in her hair."Yes, he will be stopped." Gore said, kissing the side of her head."We should get to packing, we all need to be in the same place as our allies.'' Harlow sat up, her leg rubbed against Gore's cock and he groaned."Don't tell me that you are still horny."Gore chuckled. "I'm always horny. Ever since you became of age, I can't help it."Harlow giggled, "good to know that you are sexually attracted to just me."Gore wrapped his arms around her waist. "That's how it is supposed to be. We are made for each other. Only you can turn me on and satisfy my needs."*****"So this all ou
"Us." A transparent looking dog appeared. At the same moment, a cat jumped on Scarlet's shoulder."You have no right to say such a thing." Alistair told the two animals.The cat laughed. "Relax, no need to get your royal panties in a twist. Besides, you have no authority here."The dog floating around Alistair's head, taunting him. "I'm sure all Loreans by now have heard about how you used to beat the crap out of your bride. Just the sadistic ways of a vampire, right? But the moment she turned, you treated her differently." The dog teased."Do you want to lose a limb, or your head?" Alistair shot back."Go a head, I'm already dead." The dog floated a head of Alistair now, making a point to lift its tail to show him its butt hole."So he was treating her badly then?" Gore put in."What happened between us is no one's business." Alistair hissed."You might not think that, but you don't treat your mates like trash and expect to go unpunished for it." Gore growled. "I was put in place to
