Demetrius“What do you mean she has not eaten?” I narrow my eyes to the guard assigned to Xenia’s room. Three days have passed since I brought her here and I’m being told she has refused her food for a third day in a row. Does she mean to starve herself? How far would she go? I would force the food down her throat if I had to. As harsh as it sounded, I couldn’t allow her to hurt herself.“She still will not eat. She is very stubborn.” This much I knew to be true. I waved him off signaling him to leave us. As hard as it’s been, I have decided to give her some space in hopes she would settle down, but it seems my attempts to weigh her down have been wasted. She is indeed a feisty one. As expected, Father accepted Avalon’s request concerning Xenia. Although he was a little surprised to know we had a new human in our presence, he was pleased to learn about her specialty and agreed with me that the dual option of providing therapy or education sessions to Avalon while also being a “blood

XeniaI thought Aiden had me feeling low before, but being here, I have never felt so empty and depressed. I can’t stop replaying everything over and over again in my head. Just last week everything was fine. I was getting back on top of things, focusing on my degree, feeling better. My life wasn’t in complete shambles like it is now. I’m trying to come to terms with my situation, but it’s hard when it has been completely uprooted in such a way. I feel like I’m on the brink of insanity. I’m not sure what I was expecting from him, but I can’t seem to get past his treachery. I had started to develop feelings for this man, and it hurts to find out he is nowhere near the person who I thought he was. He’s not even a person…What was I thinking letting my guard down like that right after a breakup? I’m beating myself up for missing the signs, but I know it’s not really my fault. It’s like he knew everything I wanted in a man, bottled it all up and spread it over him. He was master of decep

Xenia“Hey, Xenia!” I jerk my head in the direction of my name being called as the blond woman strides over to me. Isabel, one of the other human women that provide ‘services’ greets me with a warm smile. I’ve only been here for a total of four days, I think, and surprisingly it seems like I’ve made a friend. Isabel has been genuinely kind to me from the second day, and has given me the runaround of how everything works. It’s odd to think that women, human women just like me, choose to be here to provide their blood and have sex with the vampires. Apparently, there’s some men here too that do the same, but I’ve yet to see them. They receive a hefty income for doing it. And according to Isabel, sex with vampires was really hot, and far exceeded that of a regular person. I guess I can’t object to that bit of information… The room is pretty similar to a classroom setting. The building is separate from the mansion that I have been staying in, but it’s within walking distance. It’s like a

XeniaShaky fingers trail down my chest against my laced see-through shirt as I glance to the side. I tug at the hem of my leather mini skirt while giving myself a once over. Okay. Admittedly, my ass looks good in this skirt, but now I’m thinking maybe staying inside wouldn’t be so bad after all. But Demetrius said he was going to be out and about, and I’m wondering where the hell to. That kind of annoys me. He can come and go as he pleases, but I’m expected to stay in like a child on punishment? No. That doesn’t really work for me. And it’s that thought that pushes me over the edge and makes me stick with the decision. I’m going out, and I’m going to have fun.With vampires… “Damn, girl. You look good!” Isabel’s words make me blush now that I’m under the scrutiny of gazes from others. “This is Hendrix, Yuno, and you know Celine, right? Guys, this is Xenia. She’s new.” She’s said new like I’m a thing and not a person making me tense. I climb inside the back of the bla

Unknown VampireFrom this view, sitting back and lurking in the shadows, I see all. Something had led me to this despicable place, and although it’s a venue I typically wouldn’t frequent, I decided to follow my instincts, and as always, it paid off. Even though I’m not within the safe confines of my coven boundaries, I have no fear of harm coming to me. Anonymity is my companion, so I felt the need to mask my scent and I don’t regret that for a moment. Because just as I was about to leave, on the cusp of giving up after becoming extremely bored with the countless women putting everything they had to offer on show for all to see, my beauty appeared like the answer to a prayer. It’s no mere coincidence we are here together. Her marking has led her straight to me. The problem is she’s not alone. Who the fuck are they? She’s accompanied by two vampires, and it takes everything in me not to turn this room into a blood bath. They aren’t weak, bottom feeders, but their strength doesn’t compa
