GERALD bowed graciously with the parchment placed upon his flattened palm. He rose back up and awaited my order.

"You will send this letter as I have instructed."

"Yes, your majesty."

The man spun on his heels, footsteps receding to execute his duty. I approached the cushion at the center of the room, where Lucious and Cyrus had settled.

The piece of robot occupied Cyrus's attention, his obnoxious laughter hitting my eardrums every now and then as he laughed when the snake tickl

    Niall AlcottCUP thudding hard against the table, I wiped my mouth and belched, loud and horrifying.My cheeks were swollen, red like the hues of tomatoes. More gas threatened to escape from my stomach and I plopped deeper into the seat, cursing in a low tone."I need something better, Ana." I cried out.When I opened my eyes, I saw that she wasn't by my side anymore. I trailed her voice to the door where she was bidding a goodbye to her client, a woman with grey hair and slow walks.She locked the door behind her and took off her apron."Goodness, if you weren't a good friend, I'd have smacked you right now." She snapped as she strode hurriedly towards me. She snatched the cup from my hand and threw me the eye."This is a medicinal tea. It's meant to help one sleep.""Well, I need to get drunk and sleep." My voice emitted slur."You, my friend, are in a very bad condition. I shall indulge you tonight over chicken and beer." She said and my eyes fluttered open. I rose to my feet, my b

I approached the cushion at the center of the room, where Lucious and Cyrus had settled.The piece of robot occupied Cyrus's attention, his obnoxious laughter hitting my eardrums every now and then as he laughed when the snake tickled him. Lucious handed me a wine cup."Bless you, brother."I popped a cranky neck and leaned over so he could pour me some blackberry wine mixed with pints of blood. The taste danced on my lips like notes from a harmonious tune.We sat in silence for a long moment. The sun stretched into the room, casting beams that illuminated a spark in the space. The curtains, slid to the side, allowed more breeze. Sea-salted scent, so potent one could feel it on their tongue if you breathed a while with you

    Niall AlcottHANDS clasped together, I stood before the brothers. I had led the walk to the Chamber with confidence that surprised me.Cyrus had Sebastian coiling over his neck, streaming down his chest in a manner that exposed his pecs and I caught the ink there. Distracted for a second, I bit my tongue."You have something to say, Niall." Xander urged. "Indulge us.""Yes." I cleared my throat. Sinful thoughts be bound beneath me."I have been thinking. With all that has been happening, Emrys's attack, the hollows, I figured I can't be treated like I'm something fragile in need of protection."I paused, my voice lowering slightly."I'm not weak, and I can very much protect myself but I need more if I'm to be efficient. Ser Percival was once my chance, but he's gone. For that, I have a request."I had no idea why I was beating around the bush. I expected the brothers to say something…anything, just so I'd not be stuck inside my head, overthinking the matter.They simply observed my l

    Niall AlcottON my behalf, rage burned in the Caldwells' eyes. Their hunger rose to the surface, the sound rumbling from within and once they took a step forward, I sensed the danger in the air.I was subtly getting accustomed to their ways which was brutal in every sense.I turned to them, "no…"Xander, Cyrus, and Lucious. The three of them halted, their eyes lowering to my height."You're not doing that…"Xander angled his face at me, already collecting himself. Same as Lucious. However, Cyrus did look like he was about to end up yanking out Chris's intestines as though the ones layering the floor in a pool of blood wasn't disgusting enough."He's disrespecting you. How can you let him live?" Xander whispered.I gritted my teeth, jaw clenching as my nerves spiked. "This is my fight."I almost regarded the Caldwells as good puppies as they receded, correcting themselves and letting me have the floor. As though our minds worked collectively.I faced Chris, taking a step forward."What

  • My Heat and the Three Alpha Vampires   CH.35: When Least Expected

    Xander Caldwell I counted every second with each tap on my thighs. Every minute I spent here, my monster prickled my skin, snarling for freedom. Untamed in my mind, he trashed with venom-spitting approach. If I let him out, he'd wrecked this place to the ground and not even leave out a bone untouched. A few hours ago, we'd found Niall by tracing his scent. Cyrus wanted to destroy the club straightforwardly, but I had other plans. I wanted to see the settings, and those who operate the trafficking. For the fact that we are in territories where Emrys played his cards, we needed to be calculative. And perhaps I wanted to leave Niall frightened a little bit, so we could totally be his knight in shining armour. That could settle our earlier differences, a subtle exchange worth the forgiveness I sought from him. I read the faces of each man who raised their placard to buy Niall. Lucious and Cyrus locked them in. Through my sight, our minds linked, they watched what was happening

    Niall AlcottTICK-TOCK. My patience wore thin. Though the plan had been affirmed between Gwen and I, the thrill lunged at my throat.A nerve-wracking sound erupted, steel hitting steel, as one of the guards arrived. He hit a pole steel against the iron bar, drawing attention upon himself."Arise, sunshine. It's a brand new day!" He growled, tone dripping with amusement.His dark eyes scanned the cell cage, pointing at people and laughing at their fear."You…You…You. Who's it gonna be?"I gritted my teeth, my senses spiking above the bar. I darted my eyes to the girl again and chewed the inside of my mouth."Niall, relax…" Gwen muttered behind me, her breath softly blowing on my skin. "He'll come in. In time…" she trailed off."Oh, I can't wait." I said, but the sarcasm didn't match the tone used.The guard, having realised he'd blown fear into everyone, opened the door. He was plain, reliant on his fangs and claws and the strength of his designation.He went to the frail girl, grabbin
