Figuring things out on my own I slept fantastically and woke refreshed and ready to take on whatever came my way. I was surprised by the closets full of clothing in my size. I picked an outfit and took a nice hot shower. I dressed and dried my hair and bound quickly to the kitchen smelling coffee. I opened the door and Lori greeted me kindly. She told me to sit with my son and she'd bring me coffee. "Where is Vlad, is he not up yet," I inquired and she shook her head."The king left last evening to take care of something very important to him and said he'd return once it was complete," she told me simply and I frowned. I sipped my coffee and thought about what he could possibly be doing. Then it hit me. Was he going to return to his normal vessel? Did he leave it because he was ill? What will happen to Rogue's body? The questions were giving me a headache and I rubbed my eyes. A bag of blood was laid before me and I looked up and gasped. Vlad stood there looking divine. He was in a d

Dealing with the government I returned to Vlad and could hear the helicopter overhead. It's spotlight was shining down at our home and I scowled at their uncouth behavior. I stood next to Vlad holding his hand as the helicopter landed and several military officials exited followed by what was obviously some sort of general. The grunts cocked their guns and directed them at me. I chuckled internally."Apparently you're more of a concern than me," Vlad laughed softly as the general approached him with a raised hand."I'm general Hank Marshall and I have a warrant for this woman, Ms Hera Constantine. We don't want any problems sir," Hank bellowed in authority. Vlad smiled and shook the offered hand."This woman is my wife and the queen of the vampires, are you certain that there is a warrant for her arrest, Hank," Vlad asked."And who are you, may I ask," Hank scowled angrily. "I am the true vampire king Vlad Drăculea," he grinned, bowing his head slightly and the guns left me and were

Our new home and Russian alliances The trip was chaotic but everyone that was coming managed to get put in the same flight. I'm sure it helped that Viktor and Vlad both owned their own planes. When we arrived at the actual freaking palace my eyes widened momentarily but then I remembered I'd been here numerous times as a child and my fifties. I raised my brow and glanced at Vlad. He was smiling at the excitement on his children's faces. He felt my eyes and grinned at me."Surely you remember this amazing place," he stated and I nodded, telling him that I did. Surprisingly I remembered where every room led and the river that flowed in the back along with the forest. Our vehicles all stop at the entrance and to the line of houseworkers. They all stood in a long line awaiting the master of the home or their king and now queen. Vlad exited the car without waiting for his driver to come and open it. The children scrambled out after him and I was last. Vlad helped me and took my hand in his

Coming to terms with my messed up lifeI watched Ambrose approach me reluctantly and rolled my eyes."Just do it, I don't feel like bleeding out and dying at this time," I growled angrily and felt his hot damp tongue move across my skin erotically and my eyes widened and my mouth fell open. Is this what a real pereche feels like, I thought as the warmth curled in my insides and settled in my abdomen. Ambrose had paused mid lick and inhaled deeply to adjust his pants."I'd forgotten how intense it was between us," he said roughly and looked at me with glowing green eyes. I laughed suddenly, not from humor but because it felt so strange, like going back in time. I lifted my hand and palmed his cheek and grinned when he rubbed against it unaware. It was just our bodies responding to the connection without our knowledge. We were natural mates yet we were reluctant to complete the bond. My injuries were sealed and Ambrose sat up and chuckled."You were my first kiss, I still remember that d

Finding a way back to Russia from Mexico The four of us made it easily across the border and even passed people traveling the other way. We could see the Mexican Federals searching where we had just been."Doesn't look safe in this country either," I mumbled bitterly and Ambrose exhaled."Make us invisible, Hera," he stated firmly and I looked at him like he was insane."I can't do that," I replied. He looked at me and smiled, telling me that it had been removed from my memory."Didn't you even wonder how your father was the number one assassin, it was because he could disappear. It's more like a chameleon, same concept and you can do like your father, only you can do it for the people you touch as well. That's why you were trained by Vlad, like your father was," he said quickly as the Federals came closer. I chewed on my bottom lip and grabbed each of their hands. I closed my eyes and prayed I could do this. I heightened my other senses and could hear three federal officers approachi
