"Father!" Ray said bursting into the throne room, it was now quiet, the ball over, all that remained was servants to clean up.
"You still high off that wolfblood son?""No! You told me to stay away from Sara, and I did, but she came and offered me her neck""And did you drink?""You told me I'll be exiled!""Not if she offers, if she so much as wink the idea that you forced her neck, then that's exile"Ray was still rattled up, that blood, he wanted it so badly, but Sara clearly doesn't understand what he meant by 'killing her' "Dad..."Victor frowned and sat forward on his chair "You are severely bothered calling me that?""I will kill her... She will die by my fangs""Are you sure? She offered her neck to me once and when she felt it was too much she effortlessly shunted me away""You!?""Yes..." Victor smiled at him "Next time drown yourself in it, it's not the amount you take, but the amount she doesn't allow you to take that makes her blood that much more sweet""We are vampires, not monsters""Tell that to the humans boy"Ray didn't know what to make of it, he felt deep in him this will end in disaster, he knew his own strength, and never as any of his victims ever managed to just 'Shunt' him away, when excessive thirst drowns him he had this primal rage about him when he feeds, and fears one day that will be his downfall."If I kill Sara?""If she offered her neck, then that was her fate"Ray turned to the staff cleaning the floors, all beautifull human women, here and there a man, Victor didn't like biting into the neck of a man, and Mishka never bit another woman, they liked the blood of opposite gender."You!" He pointed at a servant girl sweeping the floor."Yes my lord?" She asked."Come with me" He ordered and left, the girl trotted behind him quickly.He entered his room and stood aside, allowing her to enter, she had a slight excitement about her."You know why I called you?" He asked closing the door as his fangs grew, but she was already loosening her maids braid, tucked her miads dress around her collar and unbuttoned it, exposing herself compeately from the shoulders to the navel, only her lingerie sat snug on her bust."Why do you accept this so easily?" He asked feeling his fangs now lengthened fully."It is both a pleasure and an honor to be of service to you my lord" She said, Ray could hear her breathing picked up as he took her by her shoulders."You do not fear me?""No, in your castle no servant has died by the bites of our lords and Mistresses, in fact, the feeling we get from your bite is like ecstacy"Ray was pushing her until her back met the cold stone wall, she peeped at the sudden feel and looked into his eyes, now red she was taught this is a sign a vampire is craving blood, to a possible extent that he might be dangerous.She took his face in her hands, then guided him to her neck "You are your father's son, I know you have control over your thirst... Be gentle with me my lord"Ray wanted to slam his fangs into her, but her words slowed him down, he came in easily and pricked her neck, the warmth flowed over his fangs and into his mouth, flooding his taste receptors, making him suck at the nectar and she heaved a gasp.It felt normal, this he could taste was not wolf blood, he drank his fill and drew his fangs out, she sighed trembling, he felt her get heavy in his arms, with the little strength she had left she lifted a hand and brought it around his neck "Make love to me""I'm not in the mood" He said and picked her up."The feeling, of losing blood that quickly, but not dying, that's is the ecstasy, I am practically at your mercy my lord, my body has pins in needles all over... Please, the warmth of the embrace, let me keep you warm tonight"Ray felt a stir in his loins, somehow the way she asked it aroused him."What is your name?""Annette" She answered."Then so be it" He said "Annette, you are not in service to the palace tonight, you may serve me in person"She smiled as he placed her on his bed, then climbed in between her legs as she spread them.'The warmth of the embrace' Ray remembers how she asked it as he made love to her "Where did you learn that phrase?" He whispered in her ear."Which phrase, my lord" She said between lustful sigh's."The warmth, of the embrace?""It's merely what we as women gossip among eachother, words we can use to better seduce a man"Ray stopped his movement and she opened her yes "My lord?""Nothing" He said and got up."But!? I'm not finished!?" She said disappointed."I'm sorry Annette, it seems I truly was not in the mood for it"She sighed and got into her dress again, still shaking and off balance from the bite, when she made herself proper she turned and tipped her dress to him formally "Glad to be if service my lord""Next time..." He said and she stopped at the door."My lord?""Forgive me Annette, next time I will make the night more special for you, I realise even if I am what you consider a lord, I still need to respect you, so, next time"Annette nodded and left with a smile.Respect? Considering human years, thats what he'd relate it to, he was only 18... The warmth if the embrace was a powerful term, a strong sentence that made him shiver, Annette was probably way older than him, and she had a lot of experience.He got his shirt back on and buttoned it up, he's not being shy, it's disrespectful towards her, Ray respected all life, and that woman deserved a good man, he wasn't that, not to her.He walked to his window and looked out over the kingdom, the moon just started rising, somewhere out there a werewolf pack was probably setting off to hunt... How exciting that sounded.A dark corridor only lit up by faint light so weak the distance between them still darkened out, this was the path Villa took almost her entire life.With Rachel gone many years ago the only thing that drove her to continue was respect to the woman who rose her, taught her not only to be a huntress, but how to be a woman as well, and to make peace with being a hybrid.She was here for her last time, after Ray and Tala married she spent more time with them, got to know them, secretly still a huntress gathering information, but then the day came where Ray and Tala asked her a question that turned her world upside down.The greatest respect ever given to her, no reward, no kill, no trophy ever came close to it, a gift, a blessing, it made her open her eyes and see a brighter future, one free of blood.She first did a tour to ease her heart, and the first way took her to the Yard, where the silver test was conducted, the most horrid form of punishment, if you survive it, the
She's seen two castles in her life time but this one felt warmest even if it belonged to a vampire. Tala looked at herself in the mirror as Annette brushed her hair, never in her life has she felt this beautiful, always there in the forest, what leaves and trees wants to see a pretty werewolf? Mike also never cared of how she looked, and no other alpha even bothered.Annette saw how Tala bit her lip and smiled "Are you worried?""No, not worried..." Tala said and blinked "Am I, beautiful enough?""Is that a trick question?""You vampire women are the pretty ones, us wolves never cared about beauty, the males always wanted us to be strong, smart and fertile, never really caring about looks, so... I never cared..."Annette blushed at her view over it, then shrugged "You care so much about how you look, do you consider yourself beautiful?""Uh~ sort of?""Have you ever looked this pretty for anyone?""No""Then think of it this way, he found
The scent of him dragged her to a stop and her nose twisted around to make sure that was what she smelled.Ash stopped seeing her muzzle in the air with ears flat "What is it?""It's, its Ray, he's here!""Ray? Your vampire boyfriend?""My vampire fiancée!" She snarled at him."What will you do?""I'm going back""You heard your father! He told you to stay away from there"She didn't listen, not in full sprint as to knowing the dangers there she headed back, listening, her nose still taking it in, she came closer and closer, until just beyond the trees she saw them fight."Stay here" Ash whispered next to her, it was clearly a fight of epic proportions since no one else interfered, it went on for long and Tala's urges to join grew.The dim night started fading as the sun made its presence known, this made Tala worry, Ray showed clearly he didn't have a ring if Sol on, he fought like a true vampire, alongside her Alpha self, ho
Vlad and Tala engaged again, she swung a claw but he grabbed it and threw her, as she left his grip Ray came in and struck his face sending him back as Tala did.On the front foot Ray kept the attack going, he jumped up and landed in Vlad's gut but it was a mistake, Vlad grabbed his leg and stood up with him hanging, before Vlad could deliver a kick Tala had his arm in her jaws and pulled him from his feet, swinging and taring, managing not only to free Ray but tare away Vlad's arm and leaving him screaming.The two stood side by side watching the red in his eyes as he glared at his own bleeding stump, then his leer came to them "Don't get your hopes up just yet, you think this is the first time in lost an arm?"Both Ray and Tala felt a chill, Vlad stood upright and the blood dripping from his arm started spinning like thread, rebuilding that arm until it was fully whole."It hurts, I won't lie, but taring me apart will not mean my end, you need to dig deeper! Bu
Ray landed between them and placed Tala down, first pushing her aside to face Helga and Vlad. To him it was obvious this is his grandfather, the features laid deep, he saw his father in him.But now he was stuck between who to face first? Helga? Or Vlad?Vlad made it clear he was attacking the elders, so for now he could say Helga was the initial target, he turned to her, he didn't feel like making introduction to Vlad yet, Helga caused many wolves pain, she will fall here now."Boy, I don't know who you are, but she's mine" Vlad said."You look a little bloodied up, I recon you can take a rest, this bitch not only staked me, but killed many wolves, shattering lives! Wolves I was close to, friends with""And she killed my beloved! This reason superseded yours thousands of years ago!" Vlad yelled at him.Ray took his focus from Helga's panicking face to him, should he tell him now? Or let it simmer."She killed Rachel? I thought you staked her?"
The rush of bloodlust in the air was enough to get the wolves on their feet, Muraco almost tasted it on his gums, walking in front of his group he shot out his claws."What is it!?" Tala asked, she felt that presence in the forest, and it felt familiar."It's a vampire" Ash said smelling the air but his sence of smell was answered by a giggle, behind a tree Lilith showed herself."I've been discovered""Lilith!?" Muraco asked."So the tension rises, the very earth cries as we stand to face each other"Muraco didn't understand what she was up to, he strolled up to them, even so Muraco felt she couldn't be alone, he had to ask "Where is Asena?"Her smile became a wicked grin "The earth shall cry"Muraco moved first when the brush broke, Asena came from behind to take Tala but he dove into the High Alpha as Ash took Tala down to save her.Pinning Asena down he reared at her "What is the meaning of this!?"Asena had tears in her eyes but
