Instead, he chose to sit directly across from Annesa in the quiet reading room of Eryx’s estate. The late afternoon sunlight filtered through the tall stained-glass windows, refracting golden beams across the dark mahogany table separating them.Spread across the small table were several sheets of fine linen note paper, an unstoppered dark ink

Annesa, Vampire King's Mate Chapter 16 — The Blood That Should Never Have Existed
(Eryx's POV)In my study, enveloped in the aroma of aged wood and beeswax, the darkness always felt far thicker at night.I stood alone near the large window facing south—toward the town where Gareth's laboratory stood beneath the shadow of the old church. My long fingers traced the blade of the silver dagger at my waist. In the dim reflection of the window pane, my pair of red eyes glowed faintly, reflecting the image of my long silver hair falling in waves over my shoulders.Every time I looked out the window into the cold night, memories of my past as a human whispered back like poison.Long ago, before this cursed immortality stripped away my humanity, I was merely a wealthy merchant selling rare goods and luxuries to the royal court. But the most bloody betrayal tore my life apart: the woman I loved deeply sold my devotion for wealth and status beside the Vampire King. That cruel man stole everything from me, she turned me into a monster
Annesa, Vampire King's Mate CHAPTER 15 — Day Three: In the Shadows
(Gareth`s POV) That morning, the city sky was draped in a thin mist carrying the scent of dew and damp earth. The black horse-drawn carriage carrying us surged forward, cutting through the cobblestone streets that were still quiet. Annesa sat across from me, observing the scenery outside the window with an unquenchable curiosity. "Where are we headed today, Gareth?" she asked softly. I smoothed the folds of my coat, adjusting my silver spectacles before answering. "To my main laboratory. The place where all my synthetic blood formulations and biological research reside." Annesa nodded in understanding. However, when the carriage came to a halt and I helped her step down, her eyes widened. The building before us was no ancient fortress or secluded residence in the middle of a forest. The laboratory stood within a two-story stone building adjoining—almost touching—a grand gothic cathedral in the heart of the city.
Annesa, Vampire King's Mate CHAPTER 14— Day Two with Gareth
(Gareth’s POV) Ever since my eyes opened at dawn, my mind was no longer entirely present inside the quiet space of my study. For over three hundred years spent traversing the wilderness of immortality, my brain had grown accustomed to operating like the precise mechanism of a silver clock—cold, structured, and dictated by rational numbers and medical data. Yet, since yesterday afternoon, a wild variable had hacked through the entire logical order I had painstakingly built. That variable was named Annesa. That morning, I intentionally turned down the servant’s offer to deliver a message. I chose to walk alone down the chilly corridors of Eryx’s residence, heading toward her quarters. I knew this defied my usual managerial protocol. A scientist was not supposed to personally pick up his research subject at her door. Yet, stepping out into the courtyard, a closed carriage adorned with dark wood accents was already prepared and

Gareth was in no rush to break out glass vials, silver needles, or the medical equipment he typically used to collect blood samples.Instead, he chose to sit directly across from Annesa in the quiet reading room of Eryx’s estate. The late afternoon sunlight filtered through the tall stained-glass windows, refracting golden beams across the dark mahogany table separating them.Spread across the small table were several sheets of fine linen note paper, an unstoppered dark ink bottle, a goose-feather quill with silver engravings along its stem, and a thick, dark-brown leather-bound book containing Gareth’s research on vampire blood metabolism and biological traits compiled over more than a century.Gareth’s demeanor was calm, composed, and remarkably controlled.His black noble attire was tailored with absolute precision to match his broad, firm shoulders. The clothing was exceptionally immaculate, free of even the smallest crease. His gleaming golde
Annesa, Vampire King's Mate CHAPTER 12 - The Defector Group
The thick oak door, carved with ancient reliefs, was tightly closed, dulling all noise from outside the castle. In one of the deepest, most hidden meeting rooms of Eryx’s estate, the silence was so dense that a human’s heartbeat—had one been present—would have been clearly audible.The room was vastly different from the rest of the castle. There were no magnificent red silk drapes, no crystal chandeliers casting a warm glow, and no servants passing through carrying goblets. Even regular guards were forbidden from approaching this corridor. Two tall, heavily built vampires with cold gazes—the most loyal warriors trusted directly by Eryx—stood at attention outside the door, ensuring not a single pair of ears could eavesdrop.Faint candlelight cast long shadows across the long wooden table dominating the room. Spread across the aged, scratched surface of the table was a large map of the Vampire Kingdom.Several regions were marked in deep red ink—areas still entirely under the tight grip
Annesa, Vampire King's Mate Chapter 11- The Story Eryx Never Told
The carriage came to a stop in the town center.Annesa stepped down slowly.The atmosphere in town was much livelier than back at Eryx's estate. People were strolling along the streets, merchants were hawking their wares, and several carriages passed between the stone buildings.Annesa was accompanied by a maidservant and two guards in plain clothes.However, this time, her eyes caught on a particular store.A bookstore.Annesa stopped."May we go inside?"The maidservant smiled. "Of course, my Lady."Annesa walked right in.The scent of paper and ink welcomed her. Tall bookshelves filled the room.There were history books, magic texts, books on politics, trade, and a few titles that made Annesa’s eyes instantly light up.Novels.Annesa walked toward the shelf at the very end. There were love stories, verse, poetry, stories about couples meeting by chance, and tales of nobles falling in love with commoners. There were even a few stories about vampires and humans.Annesa picked up a bo
