THE STING OF THE VAMPIRE'S BITE ย ย ย EPISODE 79
KEILAH The queen reached for my hand again, but I quickly pulled back, pressing it tightly against my chest. "Iโll walk myself," I said firmly. The queen only smiled. "Alright, follow me." She turned to Aaron, who was still bowing. "You too, young man. Follow me." I reached for Garbieโs hand, gripping it tightly as we followed the queen. Aaron walked behind us, leading Varion. As we stepped forward, my jaw dropped. A long, gleaming walkway stretched before us, leading straight to the most breathtaking castle I had ever seen. The path was made of smooth, silver-white stone, polished so perfectly that it reflected the sky above like glass. It felt unreal, like stepping into a dream. On either side of the walkway, lush gardens bloomed with flowers I had never seen beforeโpetals shimmering in iridescent colours, shifting as if they were alive. Glowing blue vines twisted up golden trellises, their faint light casting soft patterns onto the ground. A crystal-clear stream ran al

KEILAH Before I could even begin to think about what this meant, the door opened again. Two beautiful women entered, their dark hair flowing smoothly behind their backs. They wore elegant gowns, their movements graceful as they stepped forward and bowed lightly. One of them lifted her head and spoke softly. โPlease follow us.โ I hesitated. โWhere?โ โItโs the queenโs orders,โ the other woman said gently. โWe are to get you both ready.โ I glanced at Garbie, still feeling the weight of the queenโs words pressing down on me. But I had no choice. With a deep breath, I stood and followed them.One of the women gently took Garbieโs arm, leading her in a different direction, while the other woman motioned for me to follow her. My heart pounded as I was guided down a long corridor until she stopped before a door and pushed it open. I gasped. The room before me was like nothing I had ever seen. The ceiling was a massive glass dome, revealing an endless, mesmerizing underwater world

DAMIEN A soft breeze rustled through the glowing leaves, carrying a scent both floral and unfamiliar. The air was thick with magic, an energy that pulsed like a heartbeat around me. Every breath I took felt charged, as though I had stepped into a world that was alive in ways I couldnโt comprehend.I straightened, brushing off the damp moss clinging to my clothes. Ralph was nowhere in sight, and I had no idea how far we had been separated.I turned slowly, taking in my surroundings. The trees stretched endlessly into the sky, their bark a deep shade of violet, their leaves shifting colours with each passing second. Strange, bioluminescent flowers bloomed at their bases, casting a faint glow onto the forest floor. The ground beneath me felt oddly soft as if the earth itself breathed beneath my feet.I needed to move. Standing still wouldnโt get me any closer to Keilah.A distant chime-like sound echoed through the trees, almost like laughter, but distorted. I tensed, scanning the shado

DAMIEN I blinked, my head spinning as the world around me came into focus. A crowd surged forward, their excitement pressing in from all sides. The golden gates ahead towered impossibly high, stretching so far up they seemed to dissolve into the silversheen skyline. Laughter and murmurs swelled like a tide, the energy crackling in the air. I turned sharply to the woman clutching my arm like an iron shackle. Her grip was too firm, too sure, like she was bound to me by something more than just flesh and bone. It was unnatural. My patience snapped. โWhat the hell did you do to me?โ I hissed, keeping my voice low. โDragging me here without me even realizing?โ She barely reactedโjust smirked, her amusement infuriatingly effortless. โNo questions,โ she said smoothly. โWeโre heading inside. After watching the queenโs granddaughter, we can talk about you.โ I ran a hand through my hair, frustration prickling at the edges of my mind. I shouldโve been furious. I wanted to be. But somethi

RALPH The moment I hit the groundโor whatever the hell this wasโI knew something was wrong."Son of aโ!" I barely got the words out before I was yanked down again, thick vines wrapping around my arms and legs like living chains. No, not vines. Roses.Giant, deep red, glowing roses.I thrashed, trying to pull myself up, but the damn things had a grip like iron. Every time I moved an inch, they sprawled higher, coiling tighter, dragging me deeper into their grasp. Their petals looked soft, almost beautifulโuntil I saw the teeth hidden beneath them, snapping dangerously close to my skin."That woman said the fae world isn't a joke!" I growled, struggling harder. "But she failed to mention the motherfucking sea of carnivorous roses!"A thorn sliced into my arm, and I hissed. Great. These things werenโt just strong; they were sharp as hell too.I twisted my body, trying to reach for the knife I stole from that faeโs house in Uganda strapped behind my back. My fingers barely brushed the ha

DAMIEN The crowd held its collective breath, and for a moment, the world seemed to freeze. Every eye in the field turned toward me, a weight pressing on my chest as I felt their gazes like flames on my skin. The woman beside me muttered under her breath, her voice trembling slightly as she whispered, "Holy God, I can't believe this."But I didnโt even hear her. My eyes were locked onto Keilah, every inch of me drawn to her, my breath shallow. She was there, real, in front of me. I could see her trembling slightly, the magic around her still buzzing with energy. Her eyes were wide, searching mine, and for the briefest moment, it felt like everything else in the world faded away.The Queen's voice broke the heavy silence. "Young man, step forward," she commanded, her voice soft but filled with authority.Without hesitation, I moved, the pull to her undeniable. The woman beside meโwho had bound herself to meโtook a step back, following behind as the others in her group murmured, but the

KEILAH The moment the words left my lipsโโBecause I'm not marrying AaronโโDamienโs reaction was immediate.His jaw clenched, eyes narrowing ever so slightly as something fierce flickered behind them. He didnโt 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, โYou even know his name?โI blinked at the sharpness in his tone.โAre you two that close already to know his name that fast?โ he added, a hint of accusation buried beneath the calm. I bit my lower lip, trying not to smile. His reactionโstirred something in me I hadnโt expected. Possessiveness, worry, maybe even jealousy. And Iโd be lying if I said it didnโt 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, โAre you jealous?โHe d

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 personalโwithout my permission, without remorse.The Queen, unmoved by my rage, sat back down with her usual elegance, brushing invisible dust from her gown. โLetโs continue.โโWhy did you do that?โ I snapped, my voice trembling with emotion. โWhat gives you the right to erase my marks?!โShe raised an arched brow as if the question amused her.โWhat do you take yourself to be?โ she said coolly, her tone sharper than any blade. โMarked by menโa vampire and a werewolf? Are you cursed? Did they put you under a spell, or are you simply desperate to belong?โI felt like Iโd been slapped.Aaron, standing stiffly to the side, stepped forward, his tone respectful. โMy Queenโฆ perhaps if I could speak to her, aloneโโโNo!โ I growled, pointing a shaking finger at him. โDonโt come near me.โA blast

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 thoughtsโtraitorous, wild thoughtsโraced far away from where they shouldโve stayed.He was gone now. Left not long ago, with a soft kiss and a promise I didnโt ask him to make.I told him to go. I had to.Because tomorrow, everything will burn.Stillโฆ gods, I hadnโt wanted him to leave.The water was supposed to helpโsupposed to soothe me, ground meโbut 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 ofโlike touching me wasnโt enough like he needed to breathe me in to survive.I sucked in a sharp breath, covering my face with my hands. โStop it,โ I whispered to myself, shaking my head. โJust stop.โBut 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 herโfully, reverentlyโas if she were something sacred and breakable.โDamienโฆโ she whispered again, her voice trembling like her hands.โShh,โ I murmured, brushing a strand of hair from her face. โYouโre safe. With me, youโre always safe.โShe didnโt pull away. Instead, her gaze dropped, lashes lowering, breath shallow.I lowered myself to my knees before herโslowly, deliberatelyโkeeping my hands gently on her thighs. My eyes locked with hers, never straying, letting her see everything I felt but hadnโt 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 inchโeach exposed part a silent vow that I wasnโt 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. โIsnโt it obvious? Theyโre taking him into the palace. Strange, really. The Queen usually curses intruders into the riverโor worse. Guess he got lucky.โI scoffed under my breath, my gaze narrowing on Keilah. โNo,โ I muttered. โHe didnโt get lucky. She saved him.โKeilah 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 eyesโwild, frightenedโkept 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, โDid he just say werewolf?โI 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.โDo you think itโs that hot-tempered Alpha?โ she whispered.โI know it is,โ I breathed. โHe followed me too.โThe 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.โDo not fear,โ he said. โWe will deal with this trespasser swiftly. No harm shall come to our people.โMy stomach dropped.โRalph is in danger.โI broke away from Garbie, moving toward the altar. โExcuse me,โ I called out to the old man. โWhere is the queen?โHe turned slowly, brows lifting. โShe left. Headed for the Crescent Gate where the werewolf was seen.โM

DAHLIA The laughter from the group ahead died down. It was eerieโtoo 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 eyesโgods, his eyesโglowed faintly gold. There was something terrifyingly beautiful about him. He was the kind of man who didnโt need to speak to command a room. Power clung to him like a second skin.And then he smirkedโright at me.I felt my wolf rise like a tidal wave beneath my skin, teeth bared. She didnโt 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. โBack up, Dahlia,โ he said without turning.The
