Alexander’s POV

I have never been accused of being unreasonable.

The word follows me around anyway. It appears in boardrooms, in council chambers, in the careful pauses before a decision is announced and no one bothers to argue. Reasonable does not mean merciful. It means I know precisely how far to go, and when to stop.

I stand at the window of my office at Graham Constructions, one hand resting against the glass. The city lies below, sharp and disciplined. Steel and concrete arranged into

  • The Vampire King's Virgin Mistake    Chapter Sixty Four

    I freeze mid-step. The weight of Lady Audrey’s stare pins me in place like a butterfly to a board. Her voice is crisp, aristocratic. Laced with an accent that screams old European wealth and generations accustomed to power. Those pale blue eyes do not merely look at me. They are assessing. Dissecting. Judging. Damon shifts his considerable frame half a step. He positions himself with practiced subtlety between us but not quite blocking her view. The woman’s perfectly sculpted eyebrow arches a fraction. The venom in her expression doesn’t fade. It settles deeper like poison finding a vein. Damon’s jaw tightens almost imperceptibly. “Miss Montoya was just returning to her duties. If you’ll excuse us Lady Audrey.” But she doesn’t move. Instead she takes one elegant step closer, the scent of something expensive and floral wafting toward me. Every instinct tells me this woman is dangerous. I feel it immediately now. The strange pressure surrounding her. The unnatural stillness ben

  • The Vampire King's Virgin Mistake    Chapter Sixty Three

    There’s something about the way Damon had looked at that message, and what he said afterward. It unsettles me.I glance toward the closed bedroom doors.“Does he need to be woken?” I ask quietly.Damon’s eyes flick briefly toward the room before returning to me.“No. Nothing that cannot be handled, Miss Grace.”The answer is smooth. Effortless. Entirely unhelpful.I narrow my eyes slightly. His response sounded suspiciously rehearsed.I do not press the issue. Damon is... reliable. Unshakable. I have seen he and Max interact in ways that have had me wondering about the dynamics of their relationship. This goes beyond employer and employee. Max obviously trusts him completely.I move toward the door, pausing briefly beside him.Up close Damon is enormous. Broad shoulders. Dark suit perfectly fitted. The sort of man people instinctively move aside for in hallways.And yet despite how frightening he can appear, he has never once made me feel unsafe.Quite the opposite.“I’ll be back afte

    Grace’s POVSunlight spills softly through the tall windows of the suite, washing the room in muted gold.For a long moment I simply lie there beneath the sheets, warm and boneless with satisfaction, listening to the silence around me.Or rather… feeling it.Max’s arm remains wrapped tightly around my waist even in sleep, heavy and possessive. His head rests against my breasts, dark hair spilling across my skin while one powerful thigh remains tangled with mine beneath the sheets.Two weeks ago I would have been horrified to wake up like this.Now I find myself tracing my fingers through his hair while fighting the stupid smile trying to creep onto my face.Somewhere along the line this arrangement has stopped feeling temporary.That realization should probably alarm me more than it does.This had only been meant to last a few days. A dangerous affair with a powerful man. Something reckless. Physical. An escape.Instead we somehow ended up here.Two weeks.Not that I am complaining. T

    “You are doing that thing again,” Mina says calmly from the doorway.Warmth unfurls quietly through my chest at the sight of her.Dr Mina Santiago stands there balancing two mugs of coffee while watching me with knowing amusement. Dark curls pinned carelessly atop her head. Oversized cream sweater slipping from one shoulder. Soft grey scrub pants hugging long elegant legs.Beautiful. Comfortingly familiar. Fifteen years of friendship and eight of those years bound by blood.Long enough that I no longer remember what my life felt like before her.Mina steps into the office and nudges the door shut behind her with her hip.“You have that face again,” she says suspiciously as she crosses toward my desk. “The one that says you're obsessing and probably plotting something medically unethical.”“I have never done anything medically unethical.”She sets one mug beside me and gives me a look.“Amanda.”“I document everything thoroughly.”“That is not the reassuring statement you think it is.

    Amanda’s POVI know the precise moment I decide to leave Isidora. It happens sometime after midnight while rain murmurs softly against the clinic windows. I'm sitting alone in my office and staring at a report I should have dismissed over an hour ago.The desk lamp casts a muted golden glow across scattered journals, handwritten notes and blood analysis reports while the laptop screen glimmers quietly in the dark. Outside, the mountain mist curls lazily through the sleeping streets of Isidora.Quiet. Safe. Hidden. My home.Exactly as it has always been.My gaze drifts beyond the windows toward the distant outline of the mountains.I still remember when this place was barely more than a settlement tucked deep within the Peruvian highlands. A handful of homes. Dirt pathways. Smoke rising from cooking fires at dusk.Back then it had not had an official name.Only families loyal to House Matesson lived here. Families tied to old covenants and older secrets. People who understood silence

  • The Vampire King's Virgin Mistake    Chapter Fifty Nine

    A sharp knock cuts through the suite before I can sink too deeply into the thought.Damon moves before the second knock lands.He opens the door and Russell steps inside with the quiet confidence of a man who knows exactly where he stands in this world.Human. Loyal. Dangerous in his own way.Five years ago Russell was part of my personal security detail. One of the few humans capable of keeping pace with vampire politics without getting himself killed. Intelligent enough to anticipate violence before it happened. Ruthless enough to survive it. Now he runs discreet operations for me. Intelligence gathering. Surveillance. Council infiltration. The kind of work that requires silence more than strength.If Damon did not already exist, Russell is the closest thing I would ever consider for my bloodsworn.Though even I have limits.The bloodsworn bond is not simple. It sharpens loyalty into obsession. Instinct into possession. Feeding becomes… complicated. Intimate in ways most outsiders

    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

    Rosalinda’s POV Three days have passed since my life was turned into chaos. It feels like a lifetime measured wrong. It is barely dawn and I am awake again. The house is quiet, everyone mostly still sleeping but I am sure a maid or two are up already. I sit up slowly, dizzy. I wait hoping it wi

    “She is with child.” For a moment, the words fail to take shape. Mother’s breath leaves her in a broken sound. “No… Dios mío…” “That is not possible,” my father says sharply. “You must be mistaken.” “I am certain,” the doctor replies. “The signs are unmistakable.” My hands move instinctively t

  • The Vampire King's Virgin Mistake    Chapter Fourteen

    Rosalinda's POV It has been seven days. Still I am unable to stop thinking about him. Every night I lay awake in bed still beneath the sheets. My body betrays me in quiet humiliating ways. I am not able sleep. Tusing. Turning. Catching only short spells, moments that are filled with memories o
