“Because your bloodline remains among the oldest surviving branch outside the throne itself.”

Ah. There it is again.

Contingency. Succession. Containment.

Subtle enough to maintain plausible deniability while still testing my reaction.

Pathetic.

“You overestimate my interest in political opportunism” I replied calmly.

“Do we?”

Another voice this time. Lord Cassiel Rothadam.

Lord Cassiel Rothadam.Audrey’s father.Cassiel Rothadam. Son of Elias Rothadam and heir to one of the oldest hybrid bloodlines still in existence. Fortunate enough to have successfully created a pureblood female before the ban, a circumstance that later elevated his house far beyond its peers. He eventually took her as his wife, and Audrey inherited much from that union. Strong blood. Noble standing. Enough purity that her house has spent centuries polishing her into a future consort candidate.Unlike his daughter, Cassiel rarely wastes words unnecessarily.“The Council requires stability” he said evenly. “If the throne becomes comprom

  • The Vampire King's Virgin Mistake    Chapter Sixty Nine

    Alex’s POV The city below my office windows glows silver beneath the early morning rain. Traffic crawls through the streets in muted ribbons of light while distant thunder rolls softly somewhere beyond the skyline. Normally I find the sound calming. This morning it only sharpens my restlessness. I stand near the windows with one hand tucked into my pocket while the other turns a crystal tumbler slowly between my fingers. Untouched. The amber liquid catches the dim light from the office lamps but I have long since lost interest in drinking it. My attention remains fixed instead on the folder lying open across my desk. Council Inquiry - House Matesson Lineage. Even the title irritates me. For centuries my sister has existed as rumor. A carefully buried possibility hidden beneath noble discretion and strategic silence. Very few knew mother survived childbirth. Fewer still knew she had birthed twins. A surviving Sancta was already unprecedented. A surviving Sancta who delivere

  • The Vampire King's Virgin Mistake    Chapter Sixty Eight

    Amanda’s POV I have never liked airports. Too crowded. Too loud. Too many heartbeats moving in every direction all at once. Usually I avoid it entirely. Private travel whenever possible. Remote roads when necessary. Anonymity is easier that way. But today even the noise cannot distract me from the growing unease beneath my ribs. Mina notices as always. “You are doing the face again.” I glance sideways at her while adjusting the sleeve of my coat. “I have no idea what you mean.” “The brooding one.” She gestures vaguely toward me while balancing two coffees and somehow still managing to look effortlessly elegant at five in the morning. “Very gothic. Very tragic heroine standing on a cliff waiting for the sea to reclaim her.” “I hate that you speak to me this early.” “And I love you too darling.” Mina grins smugly before handing me one of the coffees as we continue through the terminal. Dark curls spill over the collar of her coat today, her mouth still pink from the lip glo

  • The Vampire King's Virgin Mistake    Chapter Sixty Seven

    By the time Damon returns, Grace has gone already. I remain exactly where she left me. One arm is stretched along the back of the sofa while the events of the last hour replay slowly through my mind. The kiss had only lasted seconds before restraint disappeared entirely. One moment Grace had been pressed against the suite doors trembling beneath my mouth. The next I had her straddling me against the edge of the living room sofa, my hand tangled in her hair while she shattered around me hard enough to leave bite marks in my shoulder trying to stay quiet. Frenzied. Desperate. Nothing controlled about it. Afterward she remained curled against my chest beneath the blanket for nearly an hour, unusually quiet while I traced idle circles against her spine. Thinking. Processing. I knew better than to force the conversation. The experience of witnessing my power for the first time can be overwhelmed. Push too hard and she might flee emotionally, if not physically. That is not something

  • The Vampire King's Virgin Mistake    Chapter Sixty Six

    Audrey is not so subtle. The insult glides beneath her polished tone like a blade wrapped in silk. To anyone else it might sound like concern. Courtly caution. Loyalty to the crown. But I hear the accusation hidden beneath every carefully chosen word. I always do. Centuries seated on a throne teaches a man to hear what is not spoken far more clearly than what is. She knows Grace is human. I can smell that realization on her already. But pride will not allow her to admit that someone she considers beneath her could capture my attention...let alone keep it. The realization disgusts her. Worse... it unsettles her. Because Grace should not exist within my orbit like this. Not untouched. Not protected. Not sleeping in my bed while still carrying a human heartbeat inside her chest. And being human means she should not be alive. The only logical explanation then being foul play. Alchemy at work just like with my father and mother. The old accusation. The old stain.

  • The Vampire King's Virgin Mistake    Chapter Sixty Five

    Max’s POV I wake to silence. The kind that tells me the room is empty before my eyes even open. Grace is gone. For a moment I remain still, staring at the ceiling while the last remnants of sleep loosen their hold on me. I close my eyes briefly and inhale. Her scent still saturates the room. It lingers across the pillows, beneath the sheets and against my skin itself. I can still taste it, that impossible sweetness in her blood that leaves me stronger than any feeding has in centuries. My body feels rested. Sharpened. Alive in a way my kind should not feel. Dangerous. She is becoming dangerous to me in ways no enemy has ever managed. I sit up slowly, letting the sheets fall to my waist. Three hours. Perhaps less. The sleep is shortening. That should please me. It means I am adapting to her blood. Or rather my body is learning how to take what it needs without surrendering entirely afterward. Still I do not like the vulnerability. I like even less that I do not regret it.

  • The Vampire King's Virgin Mistake    Chapter Twenty One

    Alexander’s POV I should not feel unsettled. Not by a human house. The house seems to hold its breath. I feel it immediately. I move slowly. My choice. Every step measured. Every shadow acknowledged. Roland walks beside me, still as stone. Alert. I do not need to look at him to know that he fe

  • The Vampire King's Virgin Mistake    Chapter Twenty

    Alexander’s POV My jet touched down smoothly with barely a tremor through the cabin. The flight was short, but it felt longer than it should have. Anticipation does that. Distorts time. Stretches minutes untill they feel unbearable. For someone who has waited over three centuries, a few hours sh

    The rest of the day goes by in quiet routine. Father has been away and since his return has stayed shut in his study. My meals are brought to me in my room. I eat mostly because I have to. I walk the halls once, take the stairs deliberately. Then retreat to the window and sit. I can feel the

  • The Vampire King's Virgin Mistake    Chapter Eighteen

    Not long after Mother leaves, there is another knock, soft. Almost hesitant. “Miss?” Betty’s voice, muffled through the wood. “C...can I come in?” “Yes.” She steps inside and closing the door quietly behind her. Her eyes are red-rimmed. Her face drawn with exhaustion. For a long moment we simply
