Other POV

With the Vampire Duke Damien’s fingers still hooked under Olivia’s collar, she fainted.

Damien’s red eyes, usually cold, dropped into subzero temperatures as he took in the sight of fingerprint bruises and vampire bite-marks on Olivia’s skin.

The other vampires were afraid of Damien. Even those who had not personally witnessed his strength knew of his reputation.

The Vampire Duke was not to be trifled with.

After his visual inspection of Olivia’s body, where he counted each and every mark, he lifted his gaze to the vampires who had been sitting at this table. To those who had dared to touch and taste that which did not belong to them.

“Who has hurt this tribute?” Damien demanded of the group.

As the original vampire, Damien had many special abilities that other vampires did not. His most powerful of which was his ability to control other vampires and other creatures, no matter how strong they were. No one could escape Damien’s command.

He used this ability now, stretching ou

  • The Vampire's Tribute   #Chapter 13: Damien’s Rose

    Olivia’s POVDamien removed his hand and straightened. As he gaze down at me, his eyes showed… nothing. No emotion, not even disdain. It was as if he was entirely indifferent.Coldly, he said, “This is the price you pay for your recklessness.”I didn’t really remember the trip back to the castle. I think I was in a carriage at some point, on the floor, with Damien sitting above me on the seat.Then, at the castle, I was brought inside, cleaned and dressed back in my sheer pet clothes, and taken to the blanket at the foot of Damien’s bed.Damien barely glanced at me as he walked by. “You are my pet. You never should have been anything else.”I lowered my gaze, my heart so heavy.“Do not bother the slaves again,” he said.A strange command, but perhaps not so from his perspective. After all, I was the one who had stirred up the idea to escape. They had only joined me to protect me.Now, because of that impulsiveness, they were dead.It was a cruel twist of fate that I continued to live.

  • The Vampire's Tribute   #Chapter 12: Race To The Safe House

    Olivia’s POVWith the vampires distracted, I took off with several other slaves into the surrounding woods. We ran all through the night, keeping a quick pace with each other but never letting any of us fall behind. When the sun started to rise, we slowed our pace.Then, when we were too exhausted to continue, we took a break. After a full night of running, I finally looked around and was surprised to find Andy among the rest. I hadn’t thought he would my escape attempt. What about his redemption?Walking over to him, I asked, “Andy? You changed your mind?”He huffed a tired laugh. “We were all worried about you, Olivia. We thought something might happen if you tried to do this alone. So we’ve been secretly watching you, waiting for this to happen.”Another slave, another man I helped heal, spoke up from beside me, “None of us want to keep living under the brutal rule of the vampires, so we all thought we’d take this chance.”“I’m not a gambler,” Andy said. “But we all had to make dec

  • The Vampire's Tribute   #Chapter 11: Seeking Redemption

    Olivia’s POVSince the night Damien bit me, I never saw him again. Instead, I was taken down to the lower levels of the castle, where I was forced with the other slaves to do rougher work. Fortunately, I was also given more suitable clothing, though I was also given my rougher collar back. This time it was labeledOver the course of a few weeks, I made fast friends with a fellow slave, Andy. He and his sister Angela had worked at the castle for a long time, enough to know things that newbies, like me wouldn’t. Andy took me under his wing at once, and for that I was grateful.Andy didn’t even judge me when he learned that I was wolfless. He only cautioned, “You need to be careful. One wrong move around here and you won’t come back.”I already knew that but thanked him anyway.Andy was attempted to save up money. This was a difficult prospect as a slave, but sometimes when the vampires needed things done in a certain way, they were willing to put in a bit extra. Some vampires found rewa

  • The Vampire's Tribute   #Chapter 10: The Vampire Bite Can Give Pleasure

    Olivia’s POVThe blood drained from my face, but I wasn’t ready to admit defeat yet. “I don’t understand what you mean.”Damien hummed. Lightly, he said, “Vampires have very good hearing, mine even better than most. I can hear your heartbeat from across a crowded room. Of course I can hear it flutter as you lie.”I stiffened, realizing I was truly caught now.Damien dropped my hair then caught my chin, pinching it between his thumb and forefinger. He wasn’t gentle as he forced my gaze back up to his. “A pet could never lie to her master. This is two mistakes you’ve made so far. Two slights against me. You must be punished now, if only a little.”“If you let me explain, I can –”Damien did not allow me to finish my plea. Instead, in a flash, he lifted the chains high enough on my neck to expose my artery. Then, extending his fangs, he sank them into my flesh.His fangs were so cold and the pierce so sharp that I cried out in pain. I tried to get away, but he grabbed me roughly by the s

  • The Vampire's Tribute   #Chapter 9: Greet Your Master

    Olivia’s POVThis man who I had taken to be the werewolf doctor, wasn’t a doctor or a werewolf at all.He was Vampire Duke Damien. My master.And he had fooled me from the beginning.Why?I didn’t dare ask, knowing the precariousness of my predicament. Damien might have broken the wrist of the vampire who had grabbed me, but that didn’t mean the Vampire Duke had any loyalty to me at all. After all, I was his slave and his pet, and he had already proven that he was prone to manipulating me.How could I have looked at him and saw a werewolf doctor? How could I have been such a fool?Sophia and a few other guards came running over. As they approached, Damien said to Sophia. “Have her ankles shackled and deliver her to my room. I will deal with her myself later.”I wanted to run, but surrounded by so many vampires, and having witnessed Damien’s speed and strength, I knew a second escape attempt in this moment would be suicidal.For now, I had to bide my time. I would run again though, and

  • The Vampire's Tribute   #Chapter 8: A Vampire Duke In Wolf’s Clothing

    Damien’s POVI wasn’t even supposed to be here. The Blood Feast was still ongoing, and while I didn’t ever directly participate in the activities, I generally observed them.When I was told that my wolfless tribute’s wounds continued to worsen, with Sophia even relaying that the tribute was inferior and would die soon, I didn’t seem much point in continuing to oversee the Blood Feast.My hopes had been mildly lifted at the thought of being entertained by such sweet-tasting blood. To know that was no longer possible soured my mood straight back to indifference.I certainly wasn’t going out of my way to visit the PET hospital, I just happened to go for a walk, and that walk led me near the exterior building. And from there, I caught a whiff of the blood I had hoped to savor tonight.I still didn’t understand why that blood called to me. But I couldn’t deny the smell… the taste… was somehow special to me.It was annoying to not be able to remember, but that wasn’t all that uncommon for m
