The weeks seem to fly by as we dove into the wedding preparations. An event of such magnitude didn’t happen every day in Verso. In fact, it had never happened. The kingdom was abuzz with excitement.
Since I was also queen of Vampire Land and the mutant-vampire kingdom, Geo suggested we invite them to the wedding. I wasn’t the only one who was hesitant about the idea. Gwendoline practically had a heart attack. She ranted for days about how difficult it was to work a shield around Verso to protect us against the very vampires he was inviting in. When he ignored her rantings, and informed her he intended to invite the Fae as well, my grandmother had to mix up a remedy to salvage Gwendoline’s nerves.
I did my best to hide the fact that I still wasn’t one-hundred percent. My magic returned just as strong as ever, as did my vampirism, but I still felt odd at times; as well as excessively tired. Since Geo insis
Since we were so far from the fighting and time was of the essence, Abigail was forced to endure teleportation once again. I assumed she was getting more accustomed to the sensation because her vomiting was less severe. I felt sympathy for her. Teleporting was something that took getting used to for magical beings. I could only imagine the impact it had on supernaturals who didn’t possess magic.We emerged at the edge of the battlefield. I searched for Geo. There were so many bodies flying through the air or wrestling with each other that it was difficult to identify anyone in particular. A beam of light shot through the crowd. It passed right through the humans without a scratch, but destroyed any supernatural it touched. I looked for a retaliation blast from one of our weaponry neutralizer, but nothing came.I wasn’t ready to make my presence known, so I refrained from shooting fireballs at them. I wan
Geo rushed to my side to inspect my injury. The fireball went through my inner thigh and severed my femoral vein. I looked down to see a pool of my blood forming on the floor.“We have to do something for her now,” he said. “We need to get Gwendoline back in here.”“She ran after Morena,” Julia said.“I’ll get her,” Abigail said as she raced from the room at vampire speed.I put my arms around Geo’s neck as he helped me to the guest room. Lord Moken’s worried face peered over Geo’s shoulder.“Should we give her blood?” he asked, hesitantly. “Vampires usually repair quickly. I don’t understand why she’s bleeding out.”“I’m sure Morena attached a magic spell to the fireballs," I said as I winced with pain. “I’d try to counter it, but I feel too weak.”“Lady Gwendoli
Abigail accompanied me back to Vampire Land. The distance between Verso and Vampire land could be crossed in one day if we kept a steady pace. Since neither of us wanted to spend our resting time sleeping in a tree because we feared making camp in such dangerous times, we started before the sun came up and traveled light and fast. We entered the gates of Vampire Land just after the stroke of midnight.Lord Moken was just coming out of the dining hall when he spotted us coming down the corridor toward him.“Your majesty,” he said with surprise as he rushed toward me and bowed low. “Forgive me. I did not realize you were returning to us so soon or I would have had a reception party waiting for you.”“We came with a matter of importance,” I said as I nodded acknowledgement to his bowing and motioned for him to follow us to a nearby antechamber.I closed the door behind me and immediately began telling him of ou
By the time we returned to Verso with our children in tow, Abigail was waiting for us. She admitted to pouting about being left behind for a moment, but she understood the urgency in Gwendoline and Geo reaching me, as well as the fact that Gwendoline needed to be sure she didn’t use too much energy teleporting extra bodies. She needed to be sharp and quick when they caught up with me.I felt a little guilty eavesdropping on Abigail and Luthias as they stood in the corner, but not so guilty as to stop. I smiled to myself when he told Abigail I called him an ‘oaf’. He praised her for her courage in going into the hut alone with me and speculated that she must truly care for me to take such a risk or offer to perform a task that he knew she resented being asked to do by Charles for so long.I listened as she reinforced my opinion that he was indeed an ‘oaf’ and confided that she had very few female friends. She conside
By the time Abigail returned to me, I’d managed to remove the rest of my clothes. Since, when I turned, I would shed them anyway, starting out naked seemed the sensible thing.“This feels so clinical,” I said as Abigail traced my breasts with her soft lips and smooth tongue.“Try to relax,” she whispered as she removed her shirt and placed my hand over her own full breast. “Relax and enjoy the sensation.“I don’t know if I can,” I admitted.“Do you want me to get Luthias?” she asked, impatiently.“It’s not that,” I said. “It’s the fact that there is a group of people standing right outside waiting for us to do this.”“Everyone can leave now,” she called out. “Our vampire queen is shy.”“Thanks a lot,” I said, sarcastically.“Anytime,” she giggled. After a moment
I missed Morena’s crystal ball. I paced the grounds around the tiny hut while I worried about how my children were doing. It was silly, since they were in the competent care of both my grandparent’s and Gwendoline and safe within the confines of Luthias’ compound. I decided my anxiety was because I developed a routine that I was forced to stop.I questioned Luthias about the safety of my grandparents and Gwendoline in his compound. They were Fae, after all, and the compound was filled with beings who were half vampire. He assured me that the urge for animal blood superseded the urge for human blood because of the wolf influence. He explained that their sense of smell was also different. They were more concerned with body odors than blood odors. To them, the smell of Fae was no better or worse than the smell of a human; which wasn’t their first choice for sustenance. This information made me realize how well the
