Mystery: something strange or not known that has not yet been explained or understoodTessaThe next day I woke up to Nero lying dead beside me. He didn't breathe and I was still latching onto his body like a stubborn starfish. I sighed, feeling the comfort of his cold body, and fell back into a peaceful sleep until I get up again when my stomach started growling.Looking at my phone I saw that it was past noon, and I hated that humans didn't get to sleep as long as vampires. I do want to wake up with him. Maybe if we did, I would be as beautiful and have their perfect skin. I pecked his lips and decided to start my day, carefully opening the door, and making sure that I didn't let any sunlight into the room. No wonder vampires are so pale, I can practically see veins webbing on his cheeks, thighs, and hips, and oh so many delicious places all over his body.Ugh..."Gergo!" I smiled widely when I saw the hound was already waiting for me in the kitchen. He ran towards me when he saw me
Content: a state of peaceful happiness. Nero "Father, why don't you tell her about the castle that you just bought yesterday? The one with the dungeons and vast secret passages promising ghostly feel." Lucius managed to ruin my surprise when he just casually let it slip. If I hadn't known better, my son was trying to get rid of me. I bought the castle thinking that it was a good investment. And I also like a place of my own when I come to visit my son, cause it seemed that he was adamant to stay at the little eerie village. And with the long travel, I like to stay longer than a week or two. "Son, we stayed here for four days. I was looking forward to spending more time with you." "Wow, you bought a castle? with secret passages and did I hear dungeons as in plural? wait, does it come with a chef with cheese meals expertise too?" I couldn't help but laugh when cheese was one of Tessa's primary concerns. She was lazily spooning her cheese pie while Gergo sits by her feet waiting f
Happiness: in the context of mental or emotional states, is positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy. Tessa I never enjoy Disney movies since when I was a child, not with its happily ever after stuff. I never believed in that. Though the tragedy before the happy ending was always interesting. It was human nature, people were greedy, ambitious, and just loved to bully others who were inferior to them. This goes all across the board, in families, with friends, at your workplace, and even with strangers on the internet. Hell, someone even wants me dead and I still didn't know who and why. "I like it too and I'm glad you like it. We can spend more time here in the future. You can quit your job, and..." Nero was rambling as he showed me the new giant mansion that was probably double the size of his son's estate. "Wait, when did we get to that conclusion? Do you think my stalker isn't ambitious enough to follow me here and kill me on the three months mark?"
Bliss: The highest degree of happiness, especially spiritual joy; perfect felicity; supreme delight; extreme happiness; ecstasy. Tessa When I woke up on top of my boyfriend I was feeling the familiar coldness of his body. The perfect part of being with a vampire is that they don't get to see how you wake up in the morning, or the afternoon. Cause despite what the movies portrayed, women did not wake up in full makeup. No, we'd go all panda eyes if we don't wash our faces before we go to bed. And don't start with morning breath, ugh... I can't, just don't even try. "Gergo! you're here!" I patted the black hound's head when I saw him waiting for me in front of the dining hall. Yeah, the dining area was so big, Nero told me the day he took me here that it was called a dining hall. Gergo wagged his tail excitedly while his face remained serious, he was looking straight through me. And I have to turn around to see what he was so entranced with, and I should've known. The hound was being
Den: the lair of a wild usually predatory animal. Nero Tessa should be finished with her job by now, maybe she was already on her way back to my apartment. I was not worried, because I have eyes on her. When Aldrich came to see me at the den, I was supposed to go back to the penthouse in less than an hour so I could spend time with Tessa before she ends her day and goes to sleep. "Tell me, what did you find?" "Writings on her wall," Aldrich said, giving me his tablet with a picture of her wall. "It was spray painted red the writing read, forty-five days. Her room was ruined, all spray-painted red in random chaos. Someone really hated her." My anger flared seconds after seeing her personal belongings trashed, and her personal space violated. I need more from my best guard, and when he told me that the wolf scent was not familiar I almost lost it. "I thought you brought in your wolf friend, what did he say?" "Exactly that," Aldrich said, "the scent was not familiar, he said the w
Oblivious: not aware of or not concerned about what is happening around one.TessaOkay, so turns out there was no specific job that the big boss wanted me to do. Yep, Chad lied, and the worst thing was I did not catch his deception. I fell right into it. I was so gullible while getting pumped for my kill."Chad, you better pay me more for wasting my time." I pouted and put my hands together, I really don't want to kill my handler. Not yet, anyway."You're so full of yourself as always, beauty, that's what I like about you. But there won't be any money coming out of my pocket. My woman had me drained and my other woman...ugh, enough, we're not here about me... I think I might have a lead on your assassination.""Aww... Chad, you make it sound as if I'm the president." I smirked and bumped my shoulder into his, trying to get him to loosen up and spill more than he might want to. This wasn't the first time Chad had held important information for me. The man likes saying stuff in riddles
Playground: a place where a particular group of people chooses to enjoy themselves.Tessa"Yeah, I have a parents' issue for sure. My dad was never a role model, I was never close. I was practically raised by my grandparents." Nero and I were talking in his apartment. He decided to stay and accompany me while waiting for Vesper. We talked about my half-brother yesterday, though somehow I had a feeling that something was off like he knew something that I don't. I did not expect that from him. I have no idea why he would keep things from me. Maybe I should just ask, but I have trust issues."Come on, little killer, Vesper is here." Nero kissed my temple and tugged me out of the bed. I didn't even hear the front door opening. I still envied their vampire sense and Nero knows it."Father, I was summoned. I thought you'd be at the den. I should've known by now that you'd be with my future mother." Vesper announced himself when he entered Nero's living space with Aldrich following behind h
Throne: a decorative chair or seat on which a monarch, a king or queen, sits.NeroThe way she looked at me was full of lust, and I kept on sucking the guy, holding his jugular until his body went limp and I satisfied my thirst for blood.Tessa still locked her eyes on me, intensely watching as I licked my lips clean of the man's blood. I could smell her arousal in the damp dark alley and I tugged her by the waist and claimed her mouth and groaned the second she moaned my name. "Oh, God, this is how it feels watching your parents making out," I could feel Vesper shudder behind me and it took all of my wills to unlatch myself from my little killer. Aldrich had just finished with his meal and piled the guy on top of the others. He pulled out his phone to call the cleaners, these were humans working for us to literally clean after us. We don't always do it, but when there were multiple dead humans with blood drained from their bodies we prefer not to cause drama."Hey, be nice. She just
