The Vampire King's Feeder Confrontation
*Kane*I make my way swiftly to my brother’s room, doing my best not to lose my cool before I get there. My hands are balled into fists, and I am doing everything I can to keep from slamming one of them into a wall.In my mind, I go over the conversation I am about to have with Lex. I am cool, calm, and collected, as I ask him if he has any idea how badly he has fucked up this entire situation.But when Lex opens the door to his room and says, “What?” I am no longer cool, calm, and collected.I slam my fist right into his face, causing him to splash the glass of blood he is holding all over himself. When he winces and glares at me, I am only upset that most of the blood now dripping down his face is not his own. “What the fuck?” he asks me, wiping at his white shirt that will now be permanently pink.“What the fuck indeed!” I shout at him as I step over the puddle at the entrance and slam his door behind him. “You are the biggest fuck up I’ve ever met in my entire life, Lex, and just
The Vampire King's Feeder Claimed by the Vampire King
*Emory*I had been shocked when they told me that I could go back to my room, that there was no reason for me to continue to stay in the infirmary. Nellie and Helga had been there with me to help me make it back to my room. I am feeling a lot better, though my shoulder is still sore.They insisted I would feel better if I took a long soak in the tub, and the two of them drew me up a nice bath.Now, I am sitting here, staring at the little silvery reflection of myself in the faucet, wondering if I will always have scars from where I was bitten, wondering if this blood that is running through my veins but isn’t mine will somehow become part of me, wondering about my sister and Opal and the mess she has caused, and Kane.I am constantly wondering about Kane.Where is he now? What is he doing? Is he busy? Is he in danger?Is he thinking about me?I get a bit of an answer to all of those questions when I think I hear a knock on the door to my bedroom and then suddenly feel his presence on
The Vampire King's Feeder I'm the King of the World
*Lex*I am a fool.Everyone knows that. In fact, it’s quite the topic of discussion at court. It’s a joke, really. Kane is the serious, responsible brother, and then there’s Lex, the playful, irresponsible, woman—or is it man—chasing whore who will never be able to accomplish anything of significance in his life no matter how many centuries he may last.Yes, it’s all something to chuckle over while sipping sherry and wondering about the weather.The possibility of Luther Alexander doing something foolish is almost as certain as a chance of rain at the castle. Both things happen nearly every day.So… it shouldn’t have been a surprise to anyone that I did something that was likely to get me into trouble or get me killed. I didn’t find it surprising at all when I pulled my sports car to a stop outside of the massive gates of the Maxwell castle later that same day that Kane had come to me to say that I’d fucked up for real this time.When the guards at the gate demand to know who I am and
The Vampire King's Feeder How Did He Escape?
*Kane*Vampires don’t get fatigued. At least, we don’t usually get fatigued. Not from simple tasks like the one I am doing now, but as I lean over the desk and stare at the map in front of me, my eyes start to blur out of focus, and everything begins to fade slightly.I’ve been looking at this fucking map for far too long, and it’s time to just make a decision.“You could just position them all here,” Rainer says, pointing at the border between my lands and King Peter’s. “If they never cross into our lands then we won’t have to worry about them attacking.”“Yes, but Alpha King Peter is not that stupid,” I remind him. “The chances of him actually sending all of his forces in from that direction is very unlikely. I think there’s a better chance that he’ll send in a diversion from that direction and use a different path to come at us.”I look at our other borders. Our lands share most of our northern border with Scarlett Thunder, Opal’s home pack. To the east, we have several smaller nei
The Vampire King's Feeder Saying Goodbye
*Emory*A walk in the garden was meant to lift my spirits, but when I return to my room a few hours later, I find that it has done very little. As I come back to my room, I am reminded that at least I no longer have to fear having my throat ripped out while I’m out and about. That is something to be happy about, I suppose.My hand goes to my neck, and I pause in front of the mirror to look at my scars. Helga and Nellie dismiss themselves into their own chambers, and I barely murmur a, “See you later,” as my fingers trace two jagged marks, one on either side of my throat.I’d healed quickly enough to keep me from bleeding out, but the speed at which my tissue had mended itself also prevented the pack healer from having the opportunity to put me back together with a straight stitch. So now, these three to four inch long tears will always be there to remind me of the horrendous encounter I had in the library.I’ve hardly even been able to look at a book since then.“They will fade, I bel
The Vampire King's Feeder The Scene of the Crime
*Kane*Whether or not my brother is lying remains to be seen. Our forces drove out from the castle in large transport vehicles that were designed to get us closer to the launching off point, but then, we would travel by foot through the thick forest, moving in on the enemy, using our speed, dexterity, and stealth to try and get the upper hand on another group of vampires attempting to do the same thing.Lex had been told differently than what we were actually doing, and I’d sent him to a different position than the one we were moving toward. If King Peter moved his main force to our eastern border, then I’d know that Lex had betrayed us. If he continued to go to the locations Lex had told me his insider at the castle had revealed to him, then he was telling me the truth.Either way, we had our bases covered for what would happen wherever Peter came out to meet us. I’d managed to secure alliances with all of our neighbors. It hadn’t been easy because some of them were reliant on Peter’
The Vampire King's Feeder An Imminent Threat
*Emory*I run off behind Nellie as she leads me to Kane’s office where I see a telephone sitting on its side. I’ve never been in here before, but I know it’s his office because it smells like him. My stomach clenches into a tight fist as I make my way across the room, terrified that something has happened on the battlefield, and this is how they are informing me.Sitting in his chair, I take a deep breath and reach for the receiver as Nellie turns to go. “Wait!” I say a little too harshly. She spins back to look at me, her eyes wide. “Sorry. I just… will you stay?”Nellie nods and turns to face me, folding her hands in front of her, but not speaking or sitting in the chairs that are closest to her on the other side of the opulent, carved, gold-gilded desk.Kane’s tastes are not reflected in his office, at least, not from what I know of him.I lift the receiver to my ear and say quietly, “This is Emory.”“Emory!”The sound of my own name explodes into my ear through the receiver, and i
The Vampire King's Feeder This Is War
*Kane*Our initial attack had been a phantom mist that rolled in through the darkness, catching King Peter and his troops completely off-guard. We’d cut between the trees through cover of night and descended upon them before they even knew we were there.I’d personally taken out fifteen of his warriors, rolling down the line, dispatching one right after the next before they could make a sound or use their telepathy to communicate the threat to one another. Now, back at camp, I had time to reflect upon it as the sun had climbed the sky and we had broken away from our enemies for a bit to regroup.The first one had been standing there in an unassuming, bored position, likely awaiting orders. I’d come from behind him, grabbed his head, and twisted until it came off. He’d crumpled to the forest floor, his knees sinking into the dew-covered grass as I tossed his head into a nearby bush and moved to the next.She’d turned to see me just in time, her blue eyes widening as she considered what
