Todos os capítulos de King of Vampires: Capítulo 11 - Capítulo 20

The following week went by quickly, test running my application with the help of the tech team and the vampire database stored in the archives. Inputting in computer languages, running programs, detecting bugs and correcting errors was the highlight of my week. The quietness of Moon City echoing everywhere as everyone awaited the event to be thrown by the King of Vampires.Claude wasn't in the office again, I noted as I entered, this will make it a week since I had seen him and more than a week since I had seen Vanir, it was all like he poofed into thin air.Settling, I called Lanie to see if there was any new information on the bots, putting it on speaker phone as the dialing tone filled the air."Hello", Lanie's light voice came through as she answered."Hey, has there been any new information on the bots?", I asked, going straight to the point, my hands clicking against the keyboards as I updated my project report."The trackers have been termed disabled", Lanie informed, causing

Shaking tremendously, Andrew skittered back into the hall, the stench of his fear painting the atmosphere as Vanir faced me, the name 'Jacob' echoing in my head as Andrew's fear became my own."Vanir?", I let out, as he walked slowly to me, his eyes menacing and haunting, his gait relaxed, "Why did he call you Jacob?", I asked, stuttering as I backed up against the balcony railing, "I probably didn't hear him correctly", I said again, shaking my head as the temperature dropped around me."Vanirrr", I cried out again, as his chocolate scent warped around me, my eyes widening in dread as I locked on to his clouded eyes, his lips curling in a snarl as he reached me, caging me in between himself and the railing. "What are you doinngg?", I stuttered as I glimpsed his fangs elongate. "Vanir, please don't do this", I begged as his fangs came down on my carotid artery and I screamed, the pointed organ stopping just shy of my neck as I felt his exhale of breath."Alec would take you to my of

Vanir was Jacob St. Laurent, Vanir was the King of Vampires.That was the mantra that I repeated in my head as I made my way to work the next morning, the events of last night still replaying in my mind.Vanir had quickly made work of the newly mades that had come to cause a disruption in one of the human-vampire establishments, the gang of uncultured rebels routing when they saw their King of Vampires had intervened during their raid and then Vanir had drove me home in complete silence, not even bothering to explain or attend to the numerous questions that were raging a protest in my head and I hadn't bothered to let out the sea of questions either. All the signs, how he knew so much, the fear from people wherever we went, the waiter, the boutique woman. How did I miss that? I hurried into my office, finding Claude's desk empty as I sat and powered on my computer, going straight to G****e search, typing out the name, Jacob St. Laurent with shaky fingers and came up with nothing. Wh

Feeling his eyes on me, I glanced at him, my brows quirking in confusion, "What am I doing here?""It seems you prefer my company", Jacob responded, his eyes fixing on me in a predatory gaze."What?", I reiterated, sitting up on the bed. The bed? How did I get on a bed? Where am I?"You passed out in your home", Jacob answered plainly"Then how am I here?", I prodded, my confusion turning to anger as everything came back to me.Jacob leaned back in his chair, his black hair gleaming in the bedroom light as his eyes glinted with knowledge, "I happened to be around at the time".Happened to be around? What in the world was this man saying, "You happened to be around my house at the time I passed out?""Yes. I believe that's what I said", Jacob answered, impassively."You order me to stay away from you and forget everything I know about you. Yet you happened to be around my house?" I ranted, my eyes widening with fury. "You know what, fuck you", I said and stood, wanting to leave, as hi

The fire roared and crackled burning down everything in it's wake. I coughed, putting my hand to my nose as I banged on the door, screaming for help, my voice going hoarse from the smoke. I banged loudly, rattling the door, as everywhere grew hot and hazy"Help", I screamed, tears beginning to slip out from my eyes in realization that no one was coming for me, the fire had surrounded me, crackling and hissing and the smoke detector had gone off. I slid down to the ground trying to breathe in proper as the smoke choked and crowded my lungs. Of all days to forget my phone, I chided myself, my vision becoming grainy as the temperature in the room sweltered and I succumbed to the darkness.Beep beep beepThe beeping sounds registered in my mind, catapulting me awake as I opened my eyes groggily as my eyes took in the white walls.The equipment covering my nose and mouth pushing air into my nose even though I could breath by myself. What happened?, I thought, Why am I in the hospital?
