The Vampire's Muse Chapter Eight
“You called for me, sir?” I asked as I closed the door behind me. The captain looked up from his usual stack of job orders on his desk before gesturing towards a chair. “Ah, yes. Sit down, Avery.” I did as I was told. “Do you have a specific job for me, sir?” “Actually, yes. But it’s not an assassination, I just need you to investigate,” Mr. Morgan fished out a manila folder from one of his drawers and handed it to me. I quickly skimmed through the file and found documents about a certain drug ring operating in the city. “It’s a delicate case, so do treat it as such.” “Copy that,” I replied. I looked at the file once more and tilted my head in confusion. “But sir, if it’s okay to ask…Didn’t you tell me before that cases like these should be handed over to the kingdom?” “Yes, the king himself required our assistance.” “T-The king?” I sputtered. This never happened before, for as long as I can remember. And I should know since I’ve been in the force for ten years now while the guil
The Vampire's Muse Chapter Seven
The sun was just beginning to rise, bathing the city in an almost ethereal hue of gold and orange. I’ve always loved the peace in early mornings when the streets were bright yet void of their usual bustle. The sound of the tree leaves rustling through the wind and the birds chirping made me calm. Well, except today, I wasn’t in the right headspace to appreciate the peace and calm.I unwrapped my towel, let it fall to the floor and positioned myself in front of the mirror. I stared at my reflection for a few moments, studying the bright red hickeys on my body. Then, as if my reflection was another person, I frowned at myself and muttered, “You idiot.”Flashbacks of last night ran through my head. I could vividly remember how Calum Reed’s body looked—unexpectedly muscular—and how his moans sounded. My skin tingled as if it had a life of its own and was reminding me how good his touch felt. The memory sent a shiver down my spine.What happened last night was great, probably even the best
The Vampire's Muse Chapter Six
I only realized the gravity of the situation I was in upon seeing Calum Reed sitting on the foot of his king-sized bed, wearing nothing but a bath robe and holding a flute of champagne in one hand. I’ve always thought how pale his skin was, but the sliver of chest muscle that peeked through his robe was much paler.Feeling undeniably self-conscious and embarrassed with each passing second, I visibly shrank into the identical robe I was wearing. My arms crossed over my chest in an attempt to hide myself, but I still felt as exposed as ever. When I noticed a sly, amused smirk form on his lips, I knew then that there was no use left to pretend that I wasn’t bothered at all.“Can’t we do this while dressed?” I asked him in a low voice while awkwardly hovering by his bedroom door and fiddling with the fabric of my robe. “I don’t see why I have to look like…this.”He gulped down the remaining contents of his glass before standing up to set it down on one of his bedside tables. For a moment,

“Oh god,” I breathed out. My eyes were wide in horror as I stared at my hand grasping at the hilt of my knife. The blade was completely buried into Calum Reed’s flesh, his blood trickling down my arm. The shock has made my body freeze but sent my brain on overdrive. “Oh god, oh god, oh god…”“Why would you do that?”I finally had the strength to lift my head to meet his eyes. His voice was calm. His face contorted in a way that made it seem like the knife in his chest was a minor inconvenience rather than a fatal injury. I didn’t know whether I should be confused, impressed, or worried. “I-I didn’t mean to. I—”“You are acting strangely guilty for a person who follows kill orders,” before I could even come up with a retort, he brushed off my hand and swiftly pulled out the knife. I winced at the sight and decided to look away. I heard the metal being thrown on the ground before he spoke once again, “Good thing your knife was not silver.”I slowly craned my head to look back at him. “S
The Vampire's Muse Chapter Four
I watched my arrow speed through the wind until its blade finally sank into the dummy target made out of pieces of mismatched fabrics sown together and hay stuffing. Old buttons were used for eyes, and a thick line of thread formed a permanent frown onto its face. My arrow jutted out of its shoulder, many inches away from where its heart was supposed to be in if it had one. Sweat run down the sides of my face as my vision faded in and out for a fraction of a second once again. The frustration worsened the headache that was already pounding against my skull consistently for the past few days. The lack of sleep was probably catching up to me, and my body was paying the price. “Your aim is even worse today.” I quickly turned around to find Kyle walking past the slightly ajar barn doors to join me. He was holding a bow with one hand while a satchel and a quiver full of newly sharpened arrows were strapped across his torso. The afternoon sunlight behind him made his dirty blonde hair bri

“I read the news. Congratulations on another success,” Kyle said after catching up to me. Judging from his polished boots and his quiver full of sharp arrows, I could immediately tell that he was going on a mission, possibly later tonight. He then casually slung an arm over my shoulders and leaned in close to whisper, “But didn’t you go solo? It wasn’t like you to torture him after shooting an arrow to his chest.”My heart went frantic at our close proximity, but I have learned over the years how to play it cool. With a confused frown, I whispered back, “What do you mean I tortured him? I shot him and then that was it.”“Hmm, I guess the media was exaggerating again,” he thought out loud while an adorable pout formed on his lips. “They said the corpse looked like it was ravaged by dogs. The article went into gore detail about the claw and bite marks, and how he was sucked dry.”We turned to another hallway and was immediately greeted by the huge framed portraits of all the captains th
