Dimitri

"I want everything you can find on Natalie Pierce," I told Victor, my voice cutting through the dim hush of the lounge like a blade.

We were beneath the manor—deep underground where sunlight had never dared to intrude—waiting for the clan to gather. These meetings had long since lost their thrill.

A century of politics, of ritual and posturing, wears even the immortal thin.

Victor nodded and vanished into the shadows, as he always did—efficient, silent, loyal.

Of course, Lancly couldn’t keep his tongue still. He leaned forward from the velvet-backed chair, the firelight casting sharp angles across his pale face. “What exactly do you need to know about her?”

I didn’t even look at him. “What I need to know,” I said evenly, “is none of your concern.”

He chuckled, the sound low and mocking. “There’s no need to waste resources. If she survives the ritual, she’ll be handed to the Strigoi in line. That’s Volodymir’s command.”

I turned to him then. Slowly. “We will do no such t

And I hope that at the end she won’t have to be shared with them at all. Carson is an alpha yes but he’s too weak for her and won’t protect her

I think she’s a special kind and attract other and no one know not even her but her real truest mate is definitely is Adrian and that’s why Carson’s is so weak and maybe even Dimitri but is her nature that called them and Adrian said it. He won’t share her with anyone.

Please, my dear, let Natalie not be the eldest. There is no way in hell Adrian is going to allow you, sir, to claim his mate. I wonder, however, what is special about Natalie that everybody wants to mate her. could she have more than one mate? if she does, let it be Carson and Adrian

    Adrian“I’m not a full-blooded Strigoi,” I said softly, desperate for her to see me—not the creature she feared, but the man still standing before her. “The reason I’m different is because I have a soul. And you, Natalie… you share that soul with me.”She froze, her breath catching, her eyes red and wet.“I’ve never connected with anyone—not like this. Not ever. Before you, I thought I’d wander through eternity alone. But then you happened to me. That afternoon in the woods… when I saw you—it was like something ancient snapped into place. It was written in the stars. You are mine… and I am yours.”I stepped closer, my voice breaking.“Please… don’t be afraid of me.”There was a long pause. Her shoulders trembled, but then she wiped her tears roughly with the back of her hand. She turned, walked past me, back toward the car.“Take me to Lisa,” she said.Just like that.It should’ve felt like a win. Like a crack in the wall she’d just built between us. But it didn’t. It felt cold. Final

    Adrian“How are you able to walk in the sun? You eat, right?” Natalie’s voice wavered, clinging to logic like it might save her.She was trying to make sense of something that defied everything she’d ever known. Trying to convince herself this was all a joke.But it wasn’t.I shook my head, gently. “It’s real, Natalie. All of it.”“Dimitri?” she asked, voice barely a whisper.“A Strigoi like my father,” I confirmed. “No sunlight. No food.”She screamed again—high and panicked—and took another step back.The terror on her face gutted me. Every word I said carved deeper into that innocence I swore to protect.“The people at the ball,” she gasped, “were they the loyalists? The vampire-human servants Alester talked about?”I nodded. “Yes. Others you saw are prospectives—training for loyalty or protection.”She shook her head violently. “No. No, Adrian. Tell me it isn’t true. That this is just some twisted prank. Maybe Alester messing with me again, trying to push one of his myth agendas—”

    AdrianI exhaled slowly, staring into her eyes, hoping she could see it—me. My heart, my soul. Everything I was, laid bare in a single look.“Once we cross into Blackgate,” I said, voice low, “I won’t be able to move freely anymore. It’s wolf territory.”She frowned, not quite understanding. Her confusion etched across her face like a question she hadn’t yet found the words for.“There’s something about me… something about this world your parents tried to shield you from,” I continued, and her eyes searched mine, trying to find something solid to hold onto. But I wasn’t done.“I was hoping Professor Alester might’ve given you a crash course,” I added, half-laughing at the thought. “But I guess he failed you there.”She gave a nervous chuckle. “Alester? The guy who specializes in terrifying first-years with campfire stories and urban legends? What exactly was he supposed to teach me?”I gave her a nod, acknowledging the absurdity—at least from her side of the veil.My fingers brushed t

    Adrian I won’t pretend I wasn’t scared. I heard every word Lisa said—clear as day—even though I played dumb. And yeah, it rattled me. Not just because of what she might be thinking… but because I was taking her into wolf territory. A place where my power was limited. Where I’d have to watch every move. Where protecting her could spark a war. I should’ve told her the truth when I had the chance. Just said it—no filters, no games. But I didn’t. I let her stop me. Let my fear of losing her keep my mouth shut. And now we were here, barreling toward danger, every mile a countdown I couldn’t stop. I told myself I needed more time. A day. An hour. Anything. But Lisa stole that from me with a single phone call. The car ride was dead silent, but my head was screaming. Thoughts circling, building. Then something in me snapped. I pulled over without a word, hands gripping the wheel like I was bracing for impact. She needed to hear it from me. Not from Carson’s twisted version. Not from

  • Fated In Darkness   72 Another  Interruption

    Natalie Adrian lay beside me, his body warm against mine, and without a word, pulled me into his arms. It wasn’t a casual embrace—it was grounding, possessive, like he had no intention of letting me go. I melted into him, my muscles still trembling, my skin still humming from everything we’d shared. I didn’t want to move either. I was about to shift, to face him, maybe trace the line of his jaw with my fingertips, when the sharp trill of my phone shattered the moment. I groaned. Everything inside me ached—in that sweet, satisfied way—and answering a call felt like the last thing I wanted to do. It rang once, stopped, then started again. Persistent. Desperate. Reluctantly, I slipped from Adrian’s arms, feeling his hold linger even as I pulled away. The truth was, I didn’t mind the interruption. Not entirely. I wasn’t ready to explain why I hadn’t told him I was a virgin. It wasn’t shame—it just felt... unnecessary now. That part of me was gone. Given. Taken. Shared. Whatever it ha

    NatalieAdrian’s tongue moved upward from my pussy to my clit—cool, deliberate, relentless. The rhythm of his mouth, the subtle sounds of his desire—it all built around me, within me, tightening every nerve to the edge.He knew exactly what he was doing, how to keep me hovering at the brink, how to pull me back just when I was ready to fall.And then, just as I was about to break, he moved— leaving my pussy— his lips pressing into the sensitive skin of my inner thigh.I flinched. Something sharp grazed me there. Not painful, but sudden—like the brief kiss of a blade.It vanished in an instant, lost beneath the distraction of his hands gripping my hips, anchoring me to the bed as he returned to my clit.He moved slowly, teasing, navigating the place between my clit and my pussy with infuriating precision. Until I shattered.My body arched, helpless. The climax rolled through me like a wave crashing into a cliff.I moaned his name—loud, broken, needy—as he kept going, his tongue dipping

    NatalieAdrian eased me back onto the bed, his movements fluid, almost reverent. With a flick of his fingers, he parted the fabric of my shirt, and the cool air brushed over my bare skin.His eyes drank me in—slowly, intently—as if I were something rare and exquisite. He didn’t rush. He just watched, and in that gaze, I felt stripped bare in more ways than one.My own eyes wandered, drawn to the curve of his mouth, then lower.He was carved from something wild and ancient, all hard lines and quiet power. Everything about him whispered danger in the most intoxicating way.My heart stammered in my chest as he leaned in, and when his lips finally met mine, the world fell away.His kiss was unhurried, deliberate, like he was memorising the taste of me.Then he drifted—his mouth trailing to the line of my jaw, the curve of my neck, the slope of my shoulder. Each touch sent sparks beneath my skin.His mouth was cool—unnaturally so—and the contrast to the fire building inside me was maddenin

    Natalie“Do you like the place?” Adrian asked, pulling me from my thoughts.I nodded, offering a small smile before slipping away toward the bedroom. I needed a moment—space to breathe, to steady the storm quietly building in my chest.He’d told me not to pack. Said he’d take care of everything.Curious, I opened the wardrobe.Inside, carefully arranged, were soft cotton tees, thick snow gear, and lingerie—lace, of course. He liked lace. My cheeks flushed instantly. He’d mentioned it before, his fondness for it, but seeing it here… prepared, folded, expected—it sent a flutter through my stomach. Not fear exactly, but something that buzzed with awareness.I thought of what happened in the park. How Adrian had this uncanny ability to unravel me, strip away my nervousness with just a look, and his touch… it was maddening. By laying these clothes out, he wasn’t just choosing my outfits—he was creating a mood. A moment. A plan.I spotted hiking gear too. So, snow and seduction? That was hi

    NatalieAdrian didn’t say a word for a while. The silence between us stretched out, soft and strange, like the lull before a storm. Then, without warning, he placed his hand gently on my thigh.“Did I swoop in for the save?” he asked, the teasing in his voice so perfectly timed it made me laugh.“I didn’t need saving from Carson. He’s just a friend,” I said, smiling at the road ahead.Adrian let out a low chuckle. “Didn’t look that way to me. He seemed… tense. Like he wanted more than you were willing to give.”I glanced over, and he turned toward me with that soft, practiced smile before looking back at the road.“He was desperate for your attention at the meet-and-greet,” he went on, voice smooth. “Sending Grant to my booth like that? That was pure Carson. He never oversteps unless something’s really bothering him.”Adrian flicked his gaze to me again. “You must’ve made one hell of an impression,” he said, and then winked.I shrugged. “Maybe I did.”We both laughed, but something li
