Se connecter"Jason you idiot. You back stabbing little dick! You piece of shit. Arrogant annoying godforsaken demon!" I threw down my used tissue and my friend Quinn handed me another. I took it and blew my nose into it and continued with my crying fit.
I was currently in my bedroom sobbing on my bed in a sitting position, while my best friend Quinn sat on the edge with a role of tissue in her hands as she tried to comfort me.
"Awwww, stop crying Kate. We all expected this to happen. I mean I warned you about him when you two started dating."
I glared at her in anger. So much for comforting Quinn.
Unlike me, Quinn Evans is a real beauty. Her short artificial pink hair was pretty and suits her perfectly, although it is a sore to my eyes in this moment, and her beautiful blue eyes stared at me like I was a bird who got my feathers broken, but it's worst than that! I'm a human who got her heart broken.
"You have the nerve to say that Quinn. When did you warn me about him? Your exact words were, 'make sure you get in his pants before he dumps you! You call that a warning ?"
She shrugged casually, "well I did mention that he was going to dump you, and besides, the signs were clear girl. Jason Davidson is the biggest player in the whole town and he has had up to twenty five exes. Wasn't that enough sign that he's a red flag?"
I sniffed and sobbed again. She's right, but I'm not going to admit that, "I don't care. I hate him! I hate him so much. He's not even that handsome! He can't even hold a candle to a gorilla!!"
Quinn chuckled in amusement, "if a gorilla looks like Jason Davidson, I'm pretty sure I'll be at the zoo everyday." I glared at her in anger. Who's side is she on? Quinn noticed the look on my face and her smile fell, "sorry bestie. It's so sad that you had to go through that, and no matter how much I want to comfort you, we have a much bigger problem that we must address."
I stared at her like she has just grown two heads. "What problem could be bigger than me getting my heart broken by that undeserving dick?! I gave him everything! Fuck you Jason!!"
She scrunched up her face like my words physically disturbs her sanity, and she said. "I'm afriad that's only going to happen in your dreams from now on. Right now we have to come up with a way of finding the perfect boyfriend for you. Someone," she made air quotes "apparently better than Jason."
I stared at her in confusion, unsure of what she was saying. "And why do I need a boyfriend that's better than Jason?"
Quinn gave me a look that translated to. 'girl I think you've finally lost it!' "Seriously girl, have you forgotten everything that you said in front of the whole school? You told everyone that you have a boyfriend better than Jason." She sighed studying me like I was a disappointment to the whole world. "You couldn't think of a better lie than that? Even the school freak; Judy B Thompson was laughing so hard at you."
A light bulb clicked in my brain and I remembered what she is talking about. "Oh that! I just blurted it out at the spur of the moment. I didn't want to give Jason the satisfaction of thinking that he hurt me."
She rolled her eyes at my lame answer. "Yeah I get that part and all, but you also said that this boyfriend of yours_ who doesn't exist might I add, is coming to prom with you. So where's he going to come from? Heaven or what?"
I snorted into my tissue and Quinn watched me with disgust as I answered. "How am I supposed to know that?!"
Her eyes widened, and she looked at me like I have gone mad. "What the fuck do you mean?! You're the one who lied!"
I ran a hand through my hair in distress. I didn't really think that much about the consequences at that time. All I wanted was to get that fucker off my hair, but it seems like I have made a bigger mistake while trying to do that.
"I know! Fuck I know that well enough. But that's why I have you as my friend right?" My expression became hopeful. "You're more social than I am. You know people and you've got to help me."
At first Quinn was silent and I waited for her to say the magic words that she was going to help me. Instead, she sighed and reached for her bag that was on the nightstand. Then she brought out the picture of a very hot and handsome man.
His eyes were light green but they held something dark in their depths, and his thick black hair was tousled behind his head. He's what anyone would refer to as dark and handsome, and it didn't help that he was wearing all black.
I knew who the man is. Domenic Darkshadow, the Russian Mafia lord who rules our city.
"How about him. Domenic Darkshadow. He's the Russian Mafia lord who runs the city. Everyone's scared of him and he's super handsome." Quinn said reading my exact thoughts.
I gave her a deadpan look. Has she suddenly gone nuts? "First his name is creepy, second he doesn't even live in our town, probably halfway across the city, he's a lot older than me, and doesn't even know me. Let's not forget he's dangerous."
"But he's the only person I know who would leave Jason's jaw hanging if you bring him over as your prom date." She thought about it and grinned evilly "that's really something I would pay to see."
I shook my head. "That's a no no! It's not even possible!" My expression became pleading again. I gave her my best puppy eyes. "Do you seriously not know anyone who would help me pretend just for prom?"
She thought about it for a second and let out a disappointed sigh. "The only rich person I know is my fifty five year old uncle, but he's not handsome and definitely not richer or better than Jason."
I tried my best not to strangle her right here right now. "Then why mention him?"
She shrugged, "I'm just measuring our options."
I groaned at her inability to be serious for once in her life. This is a matter of life and death. If I don't bring my new boyfriend to prom, Jason is gonna know I lied and the whole school are gonna laugh at me and treat me like a freak. I seriously can't let that happen!
"Seriously Quinn. Please help me." I held her arm with big grey eyes filled with fake tears if course. I had to do all I can to make her help me. "Your brother is in college right? He might know people who can help."
She groaned, and I know I'm a pain in the ass right now, but I really have no choice. "Alright fine, I'll call my brother and ask for his help. I doubt it will do us any good, but I guess I could try."
I smiled so wide you would think I won a lottery. "Thank you so much Quinn. You're one in a million."
I pulled her in a side hug and she groaned again. "Don't thank me yet sweetie. Wait until my brother says he has someone."
That doesn't stop me from hoping. "Okay. Still I'm grateful."
The scent of freshly brewed coffee and breakfast filled the breakfast table. It was made precisely for Camille's little human toy, as the rest of us in here are vampires. I can eat human food, but I wasn't feeling the need right now, but Camille and Lysander hated it.Right now, I just really miss Kate. She left last night because her mom was expecting her back home early, but I was honestly looking forward to seeing her at school. Although I had no idea what to do about my sister and her little human.I heard them last night in his room, and the scent of pleasure drove me insane. There was obviously something going on between them. I could see it in their eyes, but i didn't want to ask yet in order not to sound like Im intruding. Camille and I haven't acted like actual brother and sister for a while now. At some point, I hated her for stealing father's love, but now I've realized that's just stupid of me.Nevertheless, I decided to tease them a bit. I leaned against my chair while I
The lingering heat of Camille’s lips on mine still burned on my lips as we broke apart, our breathing ragged in the cool, magnolia-scented night air. Moonlight spilled across the opulent balcony, gilding the marble railing and the lush gardens below. My heart hammered against my ribs, a frantic counterpoint to the sudden, profound silence that had fallen between us. I saw my own stunned desire reflected in her eye. Those beautiful eyes that drew me to her like moth to flame."You… you really feel that way about me?" I whispered, the words catching in my throat. I was unable to believe someone like her would love me.Camille didn’t answer with words at first. Instead, a shy, tender smile curved her lips, one that reminded me of the clumsy housemaid who knew nothing about house chores."I have felt this way for so long, Josh," she murmured, her voice a velvet caress. "From the very moment you pulled your doors open to welcome me, my heart already wanted you."She stepped closer, the thi
The guest suite Domenic had assigned me was a masterpiece of sophistication. High, vaulted ceilings were braced by dark mahogany beams, and the walls were draped in heavy, midnight-blue velvet that swallowed the light.I was raised in luxury. I knew the difference between expensive and priceless, and this place was definitely the latter.I stood in the center of the room, thinking about all that lead to this moment in my life. I realized with a start that I didn't care about my company. I didn't care about the wealth I’d spent my entire life accumulating. All I cared about was Camille.It was an irrational, terrifying realization. I had known this woman for almost a month as my housemaid—someone I saw every day who appeared very strange into my life. Now, knowing she was a princess of a race I didn't even believe in some days ago, my only instinct was to ensure she was safe. I didn't know if it was love, or madness, or the adrenaline of the hunt, but she had become the only thing on m
The morning light filtered through the grime of our hotel room window. We had woken up early just to make our escape before the vampires found us. I watched Camille as she moved about the room with a determined look wiping every supposed smell of us. That, too, is strange, but i didn't point it out. I just kept watching.It was still a shock to me. For almost a month now, she had been my housemaid. A disaster for a housemaid, but she was my housemaid all the same. But now, she is the princess of the vampires whos being chased by her own people for refusing a union her father wants to force her into."Josh, are you ready? We need to move now," Camille whispered, drawing me out of my thoughts.I checked the weight of the silver-tipped dagger I’d tucked into my waistband. Camille had handed it to me earlier to protect myself. I've never used a knife before or any other weapon, but I gripped it anyway. Unlike Camille, I was human, but as I watched her, a strange, possessive ache thrummed
"What is going on, Camille?! How did they find you?!" I asked in shock as we drove through the city. Thankfully, the creepy vampire guy didn't come after us. God knows that if he does, there's gonna be disaster. He'll definitely be faster than my stupid car.Camille sighed and ran a hand through her hair, looking frustrated. "I seriously have no idea how they found me. But I sensed their presence and decided to go come look for you. My scent is all over you, and no doubt they would find you eventually.""Your scent?" I couldn't help asking. That's so weird."Yeah. Since we've been living together, my scent kind of rubs off on you. Wherever you go, any vampire can tell that I have been around you because you'll smell like me."I frowned a little disturbed by the concept. It's a little weird that I won't lie."So what now? Are we going back to the house?" I asked in worry. If they found her, that means they found my house, and therefore, we can't go back there. "No, we can't." And I wa
Josh’s POVWeeks passed in a blur, and to my surprise, Camille and I were living a peaceful life together. It doesn't even seem like she was a vampire anymore, safe for the extraordinary powers she displays every now and then, but besides that, Camille was completely normal.I couldn't help but find the vampire princess cute. She's like a little kitten, always eager to do something and learn something. I have been the one discouraging her for a while now. If not, Camille would have tried to make me breakfast.I barely make breakfast now because Camille doesn't even eat, and I don't want to be late for work, but it seems like she isn't satisfied with the possibility that I was trying to starve myself. See? She's that cute.As I knotted my tie, my nose quickly picked up the unpleasant smell of something burning. I frowned slightly, but when I remembered the last time Camille tried to cook, I raced out of my room to go check on her.In a flash, I was already in the kitchen. "Camille?” I
I woke up with a pounding headache and sat up in my bed with a groan. I pried my eyes open with an effort and looked round me. I found that I was in my room. How the hell did I get here?I cracked my brain trying to recall what happened last night. I had a few drinks with my friends, I came back ho

CAMILLE'S POV.I sat quietly in the living room of Josh’s apartment, the soft hum of the refrigerator, and the faint ticking of the wall clock the only sounds accompanying my thoughts. The human world was still new to me, yet somehow, sitting here felt… safe.Because it was his home.Josh. What a l
I stood behind my bedroom door longer than I needed to that morning.My hand hovered over the doorknob, fingers flexing as if I needed to convince my own body to cooperate. I hadn’t slept much. Every time I closed my eyes, my mind replayed the image of Ashley standing in the living room under the h
