THE STING OF THE VAMPIRE'S BITE EPISODE 70
DAMIEN I clenched my fists so tightly that my nails cut into my palms, drawing blood. The scent of it filled the air, but I ignored it. The urge to destroy something—anything—coursed through me, but I forced myself to stay still. Losing control would get me nothing. Seth spun me around by my shoulder with a rough jerk, forcing me to face him. A guttural growl rumbled in his throat, his eyes burning with fury. "Where is Garbie? Did she go with the human?" His voice was sharp, laced with accusation and barely contained rage. A snarl erupted from Ralph before I could even respond. "She fucking has a name," he snapped, stepping toward Seth, his wolf flickering beneath his skin. Seth didn’t even glance at him. His glare stayed fixed on me as he spat, "To fucking hell I care about that." His chest heaved with frustration as he ran a hand through his hair before stabbing a finger in my direction. "I never liked that little thing from the first time you brought her here, and now look—she

DAMIEN I parked the car at the side of the road, the wheels crunching over gravel as I threw it into park. I turned to Seth, keeping my voice steady but firm. "Stay in the car. I’ll be right back."Seth didn’t say anything, just nodded as I got out of the car. I walked to the backseat, opened the door, and carefully lifted Marina into my arms. Her body was cold, unnervingly still.As I moved towards the woods, I noticed Ralph getting out of his car right behind mine. He didn’t say anything, just leaned against the side of his car, his arms crossed. He wasn’t trying to make this more complicated than it already was.James met me halfway as I carried Marina, walking quietly beside me, his eyes scanning the forest. We made our way towards the boundary where the barrier that separated the woods from Greenery Village stood visible, a shimmering line of magic hanging in the air. It felt like stepping into another world, one that was both calming and dangerous at the same time.When we reac

DAMIEN Ralph let out a frustrated growl. "Africa? Are you serious?"Sylra gave him a pointed look. "Do I look like I'm joking?"Dahlia sighed, rubbing her forehead. "Okay, fine. Where exactly in Africa?"Sylra hesitated for a moment before answering. "Uganda.Ralph let out a scoff. “Great, I’ve never even heard of Uganda before.”Sylra rolled her eyes. “Not my problem. But if you want your girlfriend back, you better figure it out fast.” There's an elder there, a powerful fae who might be able to help you."I exhaled sharply, running a hand through my hair. "Might?"She shrugged. "Depends on his mood."Ralph cursed under his breath. "Great. So we have to fly across the world to beg some moody fae elder for help?""Pretty much," Sylra said flatly.I glanced at Seth, who had been quiet the entire time. He met my gaze and gave a small nod. We didn’t have a choice."Fine," I said. "Give us his name and where to find him."Sylra stepped back into her house, leaving us standing there. A f

KEILAH The old woman didn’t flinch at Aaron’s warning. Instead, her sharp eyes studied me, her expression unreadable. The people around her murmured in hushed voices, their gazes shifting between Aaron and me as if we were pieces of a puzzle they couldn’t quite fit together.Garbie moved closer, her arm brushing against mine. “Keilah,” she whispered, “I don’t like this.”Neither did I.The old woman took a step forward, her long robes whispering against the ground. A faint golden mist trailed her movements as if the air itself bent to her will. “Step aside, Aaron,” she said calmly, but there was an unshakable authority in her tone. “The girl is ours.”I turned sharply to Aaron, confusion tightening my chest. “What is she talking about?” I demanded. “What does she mean I’m theirs?”Aaron didn’t answer me. He ignored me completely and stepped forward, his eyes locked onto the old woman. “Enough of this, Elira,” he said, his voice dangerously smooth. “She’s mine. I found her first, and

RALPH The moment we stepped onto the plane, I felt the weight of exhaustion settles deep into my bones. We had been running on pure adrenaline for hours, but now, with nothing to do but sit through the long flight, fatigue hit me like a freight train.I slid into my seat, adjusting my position until I was comfortable enough. Dahlia took the seat next to me, scrolling through her phone with a look of deep concentration. Across the aisle, Damien leaned back, his eyes closed, arms crossed over his chest. He was pretending to sleep, but I knew better. His mind was working through a thousand scenarios, trying to figure out the next move. And next to him was Jay.As the plane taxied down the runway, I turned to Dahlia. "So, any updates on this whole government crackdown thing? Are we walking into a trap the moment we land?"She sighed. "Not exactly a trap, but Uganda has been tightening its security on foreigners. There's been a lot of strict screenings lately. If we don’t have all our pap

RALPH The immigration officer, a woman with brown eyes that held a piercing stare, didn’t say anything at first. She just looked at our passports for a long moment, flipping through the pages. The air around me felt thick, and I could almost hear the ticking of my pulse in my ears.“Purpose of your visit?” she asked sharply, her gaze still fixed on Dahlia’s passport.“Tourism,” Dahlia answered smoothly, her voice steady. “We’re here to see the Rwenzori Mountains.”The officer didn’t respond immediately. She looked at Dahlia for a moment longer before flipping through her documents, her fingers brushing against the pages slowly. Then she glanced up. “And how long do you intend to stay in Uganda?”Dahlia didn’t hesitate. “Two weeks.”The officer raised an eyebrow, scrutinizing her. “Two weeks. And where will you be staying?”“Fort Portal,” Dahlia replied, without missing a beat. “We’ll be staying at a lodge near the mountains.”The officer continued to flip through the pages of Dahlia’

DAMIEN The moment I turned, my breath caught in my chest.The woman standing beside Isaac had long, dark braided hair and a slender frame. Even in the dark, I could see her features clearly. My heart pounded hard as I took in her face—she looked exactly like Keilah.My mind raced with the possibility—could she be Keilah’s mother? That thought sent a jolt through me. But I had heard that Keilah’s mother was dead.I glanced at Ralph, and when our eyes met, I knew he was thinking the same thing.The woman spoke in the local language, her voice sharp and questioning as she looked at Isaac. Her tone carried suspicion like she was demanding an explanation.Isaac responded calmly, gesturing toward us as he spoke. But whatever he said didn’t ease her anger. She replied in a harsher tone, shaking her head firmly, her expression set like stone.Isaac turned back to us with a sigh. “She’s not happy about us showing up at her house in the middle of the night,” he explained. “I told her what you

DAMIEN Knowing exactly who Dahlia was talking about, I didn’t hesitate. I moved swiftly, making my way to the reception area. The atmosphere in the lobby was quiet, the hum of conversation low as I approached the desk. The receptionist gestured toward the guest area, and I followed the path, my mind racing with questions. When I reached the designated space, I saw her. The woman stood up as soon as she spotted me, her eyes sharp, assessing. Before I could say a word, she spoke. “We need to talk, but not here. If it’s possible, let’s go to my house.”I nodded, not wasting time. “Alright, but I’m not alone in this. As you saw yesterday, there are four of us.”She went quiet for a moment. After a long pause, she said, “Fine. If they’re trustworthy, you can all come.”I motioned toward the reception. “Give me a few minutes to clean up.”She shook her head. “I can’t wait here. Whenever you’re ready, find me at my house.”With that, she turned and walked past me. I watched her leave, eye

DAMIEN The palace loomed ahead, tall and gleaming beneath the pale light that filtered through the high glass arches. The stones underfoot were too clean. Too quiet. Even the breeze that usually whispered through the garden halls felt… still.Something was off.I felt it in my bones. In my breath. In the way the fine hairs on the back of my neck prickled.This was supposed to be a day of reward—of power being handed over. The women were getting their damn clans today. So was Aaron. That’s what the Queen had promised. That’s why we were summoned.But my instincts screamed otherwise.Something wasn’t right.I walked in silence, hands clenched at my sides as I followed behind the women. They moved with giddy steps, barely able to contain their excitement. Their laughter bounced off the crystal walls like bells—sharp, high-pitched, too loud in a place that had grown too still.They didn’t notice it. The shift in the air.But I did.I always did.The way the guards stood was tighter, more

KEILAH My knees trembled beneath me. The Queen’s words echoed again and again in my mind like a bell tolling for the dead.She’s out there.Alive.My mother—alive?I couldn’t breathe. Couldn’t think. My heart slammed against my ribs so hard it hurt. But before I could ask anything, before I could reach for that sliver of impossible hope, the Queen’s face twisted into something crueler. Colder.“Tomorrow, you’re going to watch me kill the vampire and the wolf.”My blood turned to ice.“No.” The word fell out of my mouth like a prayer, like a curse. “You can’t—”She took a step forward, her gown dragging like smoke behind her. “Oh, but I can. And I will. I’ll make you watch every second, child. I want you to see what happens to those who think they can defy me.”“No!” I roared, surging forward with blinding fury, fists clenched. “If you lay a hand on either of them, I swear to the gods—”But I didn’t get to finish.The Queen’s snarl tore through the air, vicious and inhuman, and with o

KEILAH The steam curled around me like whispered secrets as I stood in the pool, letting the warm water cascade over my bare shoulders. My fingers drifted through the stream, slow and absent, while my thoughts—traitorous, wild thoughts—raced far away from where they should’ve stayed.He was gone now. Left not long ago, with a soft kiss and a promise I didn’t ask him to make.I told him to go. I had to.Because tomorrow, everything will burn.Still… gods, I hadn’t wanted him to leave.The water was supposed to help—supposed to soothe me, ground me—but instead, it only made me ache more. My cheeks flamed, hotter than the water itself, as memory clawed its way back into my skin.Damien.His mouth.His tongue.The way he looked at me like I was something he could never get enough of—like touching me wasn’t enough like he needed to breathe me in to survive.I sucked in a sharp breath, covering my face with my hands. “Stop it,” I whispered to myself, shaking my head. “Just stop.”But I cou

DAMIEN Her breath hitched the moment my fingers grazed the curve of her hip through the fabric. I didn't rush, didn't speak. I only looked at her—fully, reverently—as if she were something sacred and breakable.“Damien…” she whispered again, her voice trembling like her hands.“Shh,” I murmured, brushing a strand of hair from her face. “You’re safe. With me, you’re always safe.”She didn’t pull away. Instead, her gaze dropped, lashes lowering, breath shallow.I lowered myself to my knees before her—slowly, deliberately—keeping my hands gently on her thighs. My eyes locked with hers, never straying, letting her see everything I felt but hadn’t said. The ache. The need to soothe her. I leaned in, brushing my lips over the soft fabric just above her knee. Her breath caught. My hands moved slowly, inching the long hem of her dress higher, revealing skin inch by inch—each exposed part a silent vow that I wasn’t going to rush this. That she had all the time in the world to feel safe. Cher

DAMIEN "Where the hell are they taking him?" I growled, glaring at the guards escorting the caged wolf toward the palace.Tindra, the infuriating woman who never seemed to leave my side, glanced at me with an arched brow. “Isn’t it obvious? They’re taking him into the palace. Strange, really. The Queen usually curses intruders into the river—or worse. Guess he got lucky.”I scoffed under my breath, my gaze narrowing on Keilah. “No,” I muttered. “He didn’t get lucky. She saved him.”Keilah kept glancing over her shoulder at him, her face carved with worry. Even surrounded by guards, with their glowing armour and cold elegance, it was only her I could see. Keilah.Her eyes—wild, frightened—kept darting back to the caged wolf as if she could will him free. Her hands were clenched at her sides, her lips trembling even as she fought to look composed. But I saw through it. Every breath she took screamed with anxiety. Every step away from Ralph hurt her.And it hurt me.My fists clenched a

KEILAH I shot to my feet, my heart hammering in my ears so loud I barely heard Garbie ask, “Did he just say werewolf?”I nodded, numb, eyes locked on the old fae on the altar. My legs felt weak, but I pushed forward through the murmuring crowd, pulling Garbie gently behind me until we reached the edge of the gathering.“Do you think it’s that hot-tempered Alpha?” she whispered.“I know it is,” I breathed. “He followed me too.”The crowd buzzed like hornets. Guards emerged from shadowed corners, their armour iridescent, their eyes glowing faintly like creatures born of moonlight. The old man raised his hand to quiet the chaos.“Do not fear,” he said. “We will deal with this trespasser swiftly. No harm shall come to our people.”My stomach dropped.‘Ralph is in danger.’I broke away from Garbie, moving toward the altar. “Excuse me,” I called out to the old man. “Where is the queen?”He turned slowly, brows lifting. “She left. Headed for the Crescent Gate where the werewolf was seen.”M

DAHLIA The laughter from the group ahead died down. It was eerie—too sudden to be natural. Every single head turned in perfect unison as if some invisible signal had passed through them.Twenty pairs of eyes landed directly on us.My breath caught.Then, from the centre of the group, one of them stepped forward. He was tall and broad, easily over six feet, and darker than the others. His skin was deep ebony, smooth and unblemished, and his eyes—gods, his eyes—glowed faintly gold. There was something terrifyingly beautiful about him. He was the kind of man who didn’t need to speak to command a room. Power clung to him like a second skin.And then he smirked—right at me.I felt my wolf rise like a tidal wave beneath my skin, teeth bared. She didn’t like him. Neither did I.Jay stepped forward, slightly in front of me, his body stiff. A low, warning growl rumbled in his throat, barely audible, but enough to carry through the mountain air. “Back up, Dahlia,” he said without turning.The

KEILAH My hands clenched into fists. I shot the Queen a death glare, my chest rising and falling as fury surged through me like wildfire.How dare she.How dare she strip away something so sacred, so personal—without my permission, without remorse.The Queen, unmoved by my rage, sat back down with her usual elegance, brushing invisible dust from her gown. “Let’s continue.”“Why did you do that?” I snapped, my voice trembling with emotion. “What gives you the right to erase my marks?!”She raised an arched brow as if the question amused her.“What do you take yourself to be?” she said coolly, her tone sharper than any blade. “Marked by men—a vampire and a werewolf? Are you cursed? Did they put you under a spell, or are you simply desperate to belong?”I felt like I’d been slapped.Aaron, standing stiffly to the side, stepped forward, his tone respectful. “My Queen… perhaps if I could speak to her, alone—”“No!” I growled, pointing a shaking finger at him. “Don’t come near me.”A blast
THE STING OF THE VAMPIRE'S BITE EPISODE 85
KEILAH The moment the words left my lips—“Because I'm not marrying Aaron”—Damien’s reaction was immediate.His jaw clenched, eyes narrowing ever so slightly as something fierce flickered behind them. He didn’t say anything right away, but I saw the way his body tensed, how his shoulders rose ever so slightly like he was holding himself back from exploding.Then he said it, his voice low and tight, “You even know his name?”I blinked at the sharpness in his tone.“Are you two that close already to know his name that fast?” he added, a hint of accusation buried beneath the calm. I bit my lower lip, trying not to smile. His reaction—stirred something in me I hadn’t expected. Possessiveness, worry, maybe even jealousy. And I’d be lying if I said it didn’t affect me.Tilting my head back just a little, I looked up at him with wide eyes, studying his face. He looked so intense, so deadly serious. I mumbled beneath my breath, soft enough that it felt like a secret, “Are you jealous?”He d
