It had been a full two days since I had seen him. In a house this size, with archery lessons in one wing and waltz rehearsals in another, it was too easy to avoid someone. I didn’t know if he was avoiding me, but I had my suspicions. In four days, we would be married, and I’d barely spent a few hours in his company. Yet my body knew him. Craved him. The hesitancy I had carried when I arrived as Vivienne’s replacement still clung to me, but the Binding blurred it at the edges, leaving only heat in its wake.

Our last interaction left me wanting. Wanting more of his touches and answers. My file still sat on my bedside table, unopened. I felt fragmented and frozen in my desire for closure on my sister. I had spent all of yesterday exploring and ignoring my fate. Lucky for me, my father and aunt were in private meetings all day so they didn’t bother me. My cousins could care less as they flirted with anything that wore heels. They were enjoying their experience here, like kids and candy,

  • The Crimson Accord   Nathaniel

    The world might be shifting under my feet, but in our wing of Tencrest, Margot was my anchor. She was waiting for me curled up on the couch with a book in her hand, her eyes lighting up when she spotted me. In seconds she has hurled herself in my arms, gripping me and laying kisses all over my face.I don’t know what I did to deserve this woman, but in this moment, I was so thankful. I searched her eyes for tears. I knew she had an appointment with Cassia this morning. Did that upset her? I find her lips and am greeted with her breath that smells like she drank a few bottles of tequila.“Did you get into the liquor cabinet?” I laugh into her ear.“No but your sister showed me the cutest little dive bar in the basement. I met a very nice bartender named Lyle.” Her grin is infectious and I am not at all surprised that Abigail was behind the daytime excursion to the basement. From Margot’s tone and lack of slur in her words, I am relieved to know that she isn’t actively drunk. We only

  • The Crimson Accord   Margot

    I woke from an uneasy nap and roamed the halls of Tencrest hoping to get lost in the maze of marble and shadows. I took stairs that I hadn’t used yet and found myself in a section of the house that I hadn’t explored yet. I wasn’t alone of course. Ivan must be sleeping. God knows the man never rested. Instead of my usual follower, a guard I didn’t recognize watched my moves from afar. He was a constant presence as I took turns aimlessly. My mind roamed as fast as my feet. The appointment with Cassia was a fresh reminder of what my role here was and my lack of freedom was blinding right now. I was beginning to really enjoy my time with Nathaniel, beyond the scary unknown of rogues and my sister. He listened to me and shared my insistence of honesty in a relationship. It was refreshing. But I also knew I couldn’t leave. Even if I might not want to escape, I still would like the choice. I was a bird in a cage, begging for an open door even though I was quite happy on my perch. My thoug

  • The Crimson Accord   Nathaniel

    I was starting to hate my office. What once brought me peace and seclusion now reeked of loneliness. It was a space that only brought me stress now. I missed my wife’s tempting curves and the way she begged when it was just us. Here in my extravagantly decorated room that was supposed to be my oasis for work and productivity, I was alone with my thoughts. And my thoughts were terrifying recently.My mind was filled with conspiracy theories of the enemies that were within Tencrest’s walls. A facade of peace was here but underneath the surface, I could feel the tension rising. Somewhere there was a rogue being questioned, a ghost of my dead ex-fiance tormenting my wife, and a villain who wanted the Accord disintegrated. The future was bleak right now and my body was heavy with that realization. On the other hand, I was enjoying fulfilling my duty in my attempt to impregnate my wife. We had grown close between our late night talks and physical connection strengthened by the undeniable

  • The Crimson Accord   Margot

    I sit with my legs hanging over the table in a sterile white room. Celia said this is where Cassia does her routine blood tests each year, a random room hidden in the basement. As new vampires and humans are added into the Founding Ten, they must be accounted for and documented. Apparently, Cassia spends the majority of her time collecting samples during the month long event, adding each sample to her files in the archives back home. A nurse of some kind wearing the House Slavius crest on their shirt escorted me in here and took my vitals and a vial of my blood. I didn’t even flinch as the needle pierced my skin, I was getting used to the sharpness of Nathaniel’s teeth and a needle wasn’t any different. The nurse was just as methodical as Cassia had been during our previous conversations. They were obviously dedicated in playing their role for the Accord.It’s cold in here and the brightness of the room hurts my eyes. I shiver underneath my outfit. Celia let me dress ‘casual’ today

  • The Crimson Accord   Nathaniel

    If I believed in God then I would be thanking Him right now for the beautiful woman that was my wife. She was soft in all the right places and tight where I needed her to be. I held her up and against the shower wall with the water raining down on us like we were actors in my biggest fantasy. She moaned against my lips as I adjusted myself so that I was touching her entrance. She nodded, knowing I wanted approval, especially after the weird day we had. It took me two seconds and I was fully in her. The water was cascading over us so that she couldn’t meet my eyes, instead holding her head under my chin as I rammed into her fast and hard. The Binding blurred my vision, the need to be rough and claim my wife was loud and forceful. I couldn’t see past her and this moment. Someone could walk in on us right now and I wouldn’t notice. It didn’t care about the rogues or the attacks on Margot and me, it boldly told me to fuck her and spill my seed. Like a pubescent teen, I fervently agree

  • The Crimson Accord   Margot

    He thinks I’m crazy. My new husband for two days and he is probably thinking about putting me in an insane asylum. But I know what I saw. Or at least I think I know. Now I’m questioning myself at Nathaniel’s doubtful looks.She had taken up so much space in my head lately. Logically, it wasn’t crazy that I would see someone similar and think it was her, but this wasn’t that. It was the same hair, blowing in the wind. The same smirk when she got caught doing something she shouldn’t. It was like a tease of her existence here on Earth. Nathaniel had ushered me into the car and given me a look that said “keep quiet.” So I did just that. Instead I flipped through the memories in my brain of my last few times seeing my sister. She had been her normal self. I had no inclination that she was about to die. She hadn’t given away her prized possessions, rather she went shopping the day before and had sent pictures of her new purchases. She was alive and breathing one day and gone the next.
