Bound By Blood Chapter 1 | Happy Birthday
RayaAnxiety fills my body, each minute brings me closer to the time I turn 18 and it terrifies me. My life… my pure existence it isn’t normal. I’m not like others. I’m half vampire and half human, I live with my human mother and she has hidden who I am from the rest of the world.But when you’re a vampire certain ages bring about certain qualities. By the time you’re five you’ll sprout your fangs, by thirteen you’ll notice that you’re stronger and faster than humans are, and when you turn 18 you’re supposed to come into the full powers of whatever gifting your blood line has.I’ll officially turn 18 in one hour. I have no idea what powers I may come into and I’m in the worst place I could possibly be in. My stepfather, Trevor and my stepsister, Blair hate vampires with a burning passion, once a month they go on hunting trips to try to kill them. They claim that they are ridding this world of evil. I think that Trevor brainwashed Blair over the years into the deep hatred she has. Don’
Bound By Blood Chapter 2 | The Cabin
RayaI’m placed on my feet and I try hard not to waver as I adjust to solid ground after all of that running. I look in front of me to see a simple cottage, hidden deep in the forest. The trees all around us help shade the home so that none of it is in direct sunlight. Honestly, that seems like a smart design choice for a vampire.Where am I? How far am I from home?I jump when the vampire’s deep voice says, “Come along, child.”My eyebrows knit together as I watch him walk through the front door of the cottage, leaving the door open for me to follow him. I know that this is my chance, that I could try to run away, I could hide somewhere in these woods. But, curiosity has piqued my interest. I can’t just walk away now, I need to know what he wants with me, why he was willing to go through all of that effort for me.I walk through the front door, shutting it behind me, and I watch as I see a flash of the man here and there as he zooms around the house using that vampire speed. A littl
Bound By Blood Chapter 3 | Hello Stranger
RayaIt’s hard to believe that this man- no not man, vampire, my father, the Arthur Locke, looks scared as he stares at the door, but makes no movement. A deep voice that sends a chill down my spine says, “Open the door if you know what’s good for you, Arthur.”My eyes flicker from the door to Arthur, this vampire that I’ve known for only an hour and had seemed so strong now seems terrified to do something as simple as answering the door. But he breathes out and in a blink of an eye, he’s in front of the door and has his hand on the knob. He closes his eyes as if trying to regain his composure before opening the door.A man steps across the threshold and my whole body tenses as I stare at the most handsome man I’ve ever seen. He’s gorgeous, but he also looks terrifying. I wouldn’t want to be on his shit list.His long black hair is pulled back with a few strands framing his forehead, his clothes are name brand and refined he looks like he should be a business man, but the clothing can
Bound By Blood Chapter 4 | Changed
RayaI follow behind the man with shaky legs, scared of what may happen to me if I don’t do as he instructed. He doesn’t wait for me and continues his long strides, if I don’t try harder to keep pace then I’ll get left behind.I push myself to get closer to him and try to maintain my breathing, not wanting him to think that I’m weak for panting as I try to keep up with his long strides.He opens the door to a large office where two other vampires both turn to look at us. They look similar to him, both of them are just as striking. Truly, these three vampire men might be the most stunning men I’ve ever seen, but they are also just as terrifying as they are gorgeous.One of the men has his dark hair shaved on the sides with the middle part of his hair being longer and framing his face. He seems more relaxed than the other two. His shoulders are relaxed and although his eyes widened upon seeing me, he now has a lazy half smile. The other vampire sits behind a desk, his hair is perfectly
Bound By Blood Chapter 5 | Half-Blood
Adam AmbroseBlade left to bring our guest to her room. I’m grateful to be away from her rather confusing presence. She resisted my powers… how is that possible? Luther sits across from me and turns to me with a wicked grin as he says, “The new girl is hot.”I shush him and rub my temples from the ongoing headache I’ve had since she stepped through those doors. Luther grumbles in response, he doesn’t like being shushed but knows better than to push me right now. The truth is, he’s not wrong, the girl is attractive, but I can’t focus on that right now.My mind is swirling because no one has ever been able to resist my power of compelling. Literally, the only people who can resist it is my immediate family, even other vampires feel forced to tell me what I want to know.But not her. She’s only a half-blood. How can she resist me like that?Our family comes from one of the original, pure vampire lines and we have managed to keep those lines pure. Because of this, we’re stronger than almo
Bound By Blood Chapter 6 | Forbidden
RayaIt takes over an hour before my heartbeat returns to normal. Finally, the walls don’t feel like they’re going to close in on me and I can breathe again. Now, I can actually look around this room I was given.I walk around slowly, taking everything in. There’s a large walk in closet that literally is big enough to fit a king’s size bed, but it’s empty. There’s a bathroom that has the largest bathtub and rainfall shower I’ve ever seen. I know that I’m inside a castle, but this just seems so… so… extravagant. I can’t imagine having this kind of money or a place of my own like this. And this is just my room. Are all the rooms like this? Are some nicer than mine? How is it possible to just have this much wealth?I guess when you’re a vampire and you’re practically immortal then you have the opportunity to have a ridiculous amount of wealth.I walk into the bathroom to wash my face and I look in the mirror. My reflection is faded, the same way it always is at night. In a few hours it’
Bound By Blood Chapter 7 | Shadows
BladeI lurk in the shadows watching Raya Locke’s room. I got here too late, my brother is already in there. But I do not disturb, more curious than anything to see what will happen.Luther has always been the most charming brother, rarely using his powers of compulsion to win people over and instead just flirting with them and persuading them with his body language. I can’t help but wonder if Raya is immune to all of our powers with compulsion or if it is just Adam.Luther walks out of her room and a drop of blood falls from his arm to the floor. Anger fills my body as I step out from the shadows and demand, “What did you do?”He scoffs in response, he even has the audacity to roll his eyes as he responds, “Relax, Blade, it didn’t work anyway. She didn’t drink my blood. Hence why it’s dripping on the floor.”I growl stepping in front of him to block his path. I glare down at him as I say, “Don’t tell me to relax. You know we cannot fuck with her.”Luther rolls his eyes, “It doesn’t m
Bound By Blood Chapter 8 | A Lot to Learn
RayaI wake up feeling refreshed because… I don’t know the last time that I slept for so long, but I’m also starving. Normally, I’d want eggs or pancakes or you know, something normal for breakfast.Not today.Today, for the first time in my life, I find myself craving blood.I only tasted blood once yesterday, is this really how my life is going to be? Constantly craving it and feeing like a monster because it feels like I need it? Did this happen because I got my first real taste of it yesterday or is it just something that occurred because I’m not 18?My stomach lets out a loud grumble and it snaps me out of my thoughts. Okay, so, I’m craving real food too. Surely, that’s a good sign. It must be daytime by now so the vampires are probably asleep by now… right? Like, wouldn’t they be nocturnal? If they’re asleep then it would give me an opportunity to roam around my new home and potentially figure out the way to escape it.I push myself out of the bed and ignore the fact that for
