Xei is still sitting in the chair looking slightly uncomfortable about the emotional exchange between Gin and I. “I’m sorry you had to see that. It was inappropriate.” I say hoping he will understand I meant no disrespect. “Don’t worry so much, this is nothing compared to what I have seen you and him do naked.” He says with a laugh but his eyes hold a hint of what almost looks like longing. He stands and starts to walk toward the door. A mixture of emotions rush through me of guilt, regret, longing, confusion and much more as I watch him walk away. “Wait!” I say almost shout and he flinches in surprise and turns around in question. “Sorry.” I mumble trying to figure out what I want to say. “Ali, you and Gin have a history and I applaud you both for finally getting through the past.” “I’m sorry I raised my voice, you big oaf.” He chuckles and then a serious look crosses his face, “That man deserves to die, and I have ev

We’ve been in the meeting for over an hour and Ali shows no signs of stopping. She wants to know every detail about every business the bravata has dealings with. As the meeting goes on I’m impressed with her more and more, her attention to detail is on point. She’s firm and unyielding when she wants an answer or an explanation. I’m impressed to say the least. When we first entered her father‘s office I was floored by her beauty. She was sitting behind the desk with her hair up in its usual bun accentuating her long gorgeous neck. Flashes of her beautiful blonde hair wrapped around my hands, neck pulled back as I thrusted in her flash across my mind. Soon the thoughts of her wet, tight pussy clenching my cock pop in my mind making me instantly hard. Shit. I adjust myself quickly before anyone sees and try to focus on the conversation. I look up and see Ali is now standing with both hands pressed against the desk leaning forward with a look

Soon after the meeting finally ends with us agreeing to reconvene tomorrow morning so we can discuss Vex and how he is involved in all of this. Dinner is going to be served in a few hours so I decide I might as well get started on my assignment. I begin to walk the grounds checking the security detail and quickly find many security gaps that we need to address quickly. I am surprised by how many there actually are, especially since Gin’s father was in charge of security. Only one guard at each entrance, the cameras that I’ve checked have all been disabled, and I can only imagine the last time the property was swept for bugs. No wonder he was poisoned. The security needs to be updated as soon as possible. I’m making a mental note to address it in the meeting tomorrow as I see Ali walking along the edge of the pond a few feet in front of me. I look around to see if she has a guard with her and when I realize she doesn’t my angst starts to b

Soon we all go our separate ways and I get a notification that the burial ceremony will be held this evening at seven giving me three hours to finish up my initial inspection of security and the warriors. I make a plan and before I know it the hidden cameras have been put up, I have a good size list of warriors that are beholden to Ali and her father. However, what has me concerned is the ones who are more loyal to Alister than the Bravada itself. I am pondering this as I walk toward the onsite graveyard. “You are thinking very hard.” I hear Gin say as he walks next to me. “Security check has been done. I have cameras in places only Ali, you and I know about and have access too. I have made a list of loyal warriors as well. They will meet us in the training room tomorrow morning.” “Well, it seems like it is all falling in line, what is with the worry all over your face?” “Allister.” “My father? What about him?” I hesitate f

Gin

It has been two days, and all has been quiet for the most part. Xei and I have been training the recruits and I am pleased that we have such strong soldiers. I was surprised that Frankie was tucked away as a doorman since he is an exceptional fighter, and his power of foresight gives him an advantage in battle unlike any I have seen. I can’t believe my father never recruited him for the warriors. However, if what Xei had mentioned was true I guess it would be best to keep the good fighters out of the way. Ali has been hidden away in her father’s office for most of the time. We only really see her at dinner when she gives us a breakdown of what we need to know, and we do the same for her. My nerves are beginning to fray not knowing exactly where all of us stand. I know she has decided to keep us both but that is about all we know. The ties are not secure which means her powers are not as strong as they could be. That worries me with the upcoming battles. Not to mention my

The stage has been set for a high-stakes encounter, a game of shadows, and a web of deceit that had woven its way through the ranks of the Bravata syndicate. The Nesting Club is serving as the backdrop for this carefully orchestrated plan to expose Venera's treachery.Ali, now hailed as the new Bravata Queen, has taken calculated steps to lure Venera into the open. Under the guise of relinquishing control of The Nesting Box Club to the enigmatic Venera, she has arranged a meeting between them. It was an offer that no one in the criminal underworld could resist—the keys to an empire disguised as a mere nightclub.I watch the clock as it ticks toward the appointed hour, Ali, adorned in an elegant evening gown, stood at the entrance of The Nesting Box Club, exuding an air of regal authority. Her loyal team members, handpicked for their unwavering loyalty, were strategically positioned throughout the club.I stand nearby, scanning the room for any signs of Venera's arrival. Xei remains

Ali

As I watch the clean up crew pick up the carnage left from this night I stand at the bar, exhausted and ready for the night to end when I see Gin helping his father patch up the gunshot wound that saved son's life. I have agreed to marry him however I can't seem to get past a personal concern that has haunted me for years.I can’t help but remember the pain I had felt when he had left me without a word all those years ago. It has been a betrayal that has cut deep, a wound that has festered in my soul.I searched for him in the darkest corners of our world, driven by a desperate need to understand why he had abandoned me. Those relentless pursuits had led me down treacherous paths, exposed me to dangerous individuals, and ultimately resulted in the life-altering attack that had left me part vampire. The memory of his absence, the unanswered questions, and the emotional scars I have carried with me are like ghosts from the past.However, I am also acutely aware of the transformative

Ali

I sigh, as my frustration gives way to concern. "It means that we're now connected on a level that goes beyond anything you've ever experienced. Our souls are bound together, and our emotions, our thoughts, they're intertwined. You'll feel what I feel, and I'll feel what you feel. It's a bond that can't be broken."Xei's eyes soften, and he moves closer to me, taking my hands in his. "I know, Ali," he says gently, "but it's not something we can change now. It's a part of who we are, a connection that's forged between mates. And I want you to understand that I don't regret it. I don't regret sharing my blood with you."I search his eyes, knowing that my own is filled with uncertainty. "But why, Xei? Why would you do something so significant without my consent?”Xei's gaze held my own, unwavering. "Because I love you, Ali," he says simply. "And I couldn't stand the thought of you in pain, of you suffering. I couldn't let you go through that alone. I know you may not feel the same way,

I watch as Ali lay asleep. When a vampire starves themselves their body starts to slow down and the frenzy begins. Luckily her phoenix blood is strong and was able to slow down the process. Rest is what she needs now. I have already contacted my sources and reached out to have deliveries of blood sent down. Gin was pissed and I can’t blame him. She has been putting too much on herself and never taking a break. As I watch her sleep my mind wanders. I have always been a solitary creature, my existence marked by the cold embrace of the shadows and the whispers of ancient secrets. For centuries, I have roamed the night, untethered by the bonds of family or clan. Birsha is the closest and only bond that I have allowed to breach my walls. But now, everything has changed. My encounter with Ali, Gin has shattered the walls I have built around my heart, and I find myself inextricably drawn into their worldThe concept of a mating bond is a foreign one to me, a relic of ancient traditions that

The sun hangs low in the sky as I stand at the head of the training grounds, a vast expanse of open terrain dotted with makeshift obstacles and targets. My gaze sweeps over the assembled Bravata soldiers, their faces a mix of determination and weariness. Training had been relentless, as it always is, for the Bravata never wavered in their pursuit of excellence. They were the elite, the defenders of their realm, and they trained as such.I have assumed the role of their instructor, a duty I take seriously. My reputation as a fierce warrior and a master of various combat disciplines precedes me, and the soldiers look up to me with a mix of respect and apprehension. I have trained many in the past, molding them into formidable fighters. But in this batch, there is one soldier who has caught my attention—Zion.Zion is a quiet and enigmatic figure among the Bravata ranks. His jet-black hair frames a face that seems perpetually shrouded in shadows. He seldom speaks, and when he does, it is
