Blood-kin Novels & Stories

Talon is his name. Shit, I didn’t introduce myself. I’m Griffin Masters, the alpha’s son. Delinquent and bad boy. I’m the guy your mother warns you to stay way from and she has every right too. I’ve been to juvie six times, and let’s say my favorite hobby isn’t exactly legal. But anyways, back to my demon side. Somehow during the month of my birth, I ended up with a demon blood. My mother told me how it happened, and made me swear to never tell anyone. Especially my father. The blood was of a very dangerous demon, and it blended with my wolf genes. Making me a hybrid. My father hates that side of me. He can’t say I’m not his kid because I am. DNA and all.

Besides, I think they're too impatient to do things calmly. "What do you know about this wine called 'Blood of the Wise'?" Judging Orion's expression, there's no doubt, he's willing to tell him everything he wants to know. Ah. The scent of victory.

“They’ve been quiet for a while.” Katherine nods grimly. “Until now. Their leader’s daughter died last month.” A chill runs through me. “I… I’m sorry.” “Don’t be,” Alexander says darkly. “They’re not grieving. They’re hunting.” My fork pauses mid-air. “Hunting?” Katherine’s eyes meet mine, calm but heavy. “For blood.” I frown. “You mean… revenge?” She shakes her head slowly. “No, dear. Literal blood. A rare type, something their scientists call the crimson variant. It’s said to have regenerative properties. The kind that can bring someone back from the brink of death.”

"You muttered something from your father. Now I understand it. You have alpha blood, I can see it in your eyes." She looked away. Talking about her family was something that still hurt her, but she nodded. "It's a distant bloodline. I think it goes back to my grandfather from my mother's side." "But it's not recessive," Kincaid muttered. "It's still in you, lurking underneath your Beta genes." She shrugged and said, "Maybe." Kincaid suddenly remembered his encounter with the witch Sofia, and what she had said to him. She had told him that his destiny was entwined with that of the Bloodwolf of this century, and she had warned him not to leave the meeting.

Every instruction repeated the same warning. Restraint. Restraint. Restraint. Apparently the Cantari who had written this had learned the hard way. But the next section caught my attention even more. Hemokinesis often appears alongside a secondary affinity. I leaned closer to the page. Metal manipulation. I blinked. Metal? The explanation followed immediately. Blood contains iron. Those capable of manipulating blood frequently demonstrate a secondary ability to influence other iron-based materials. My thoughts raced. Metal. Weapons. Tools. My gaze drifted briefly toward the forge down the street.

he answers again. "And so, it will be, or justice will fall on you," answers the outgoing alpha, "now, kneel, "Kieran does as he asks, and the alpha uses his own claws to open his veins and pour his own blood into the mouth of his son who drinks it and both men separate and remove their shirts.

My steps echoed down the stone corridors as I moved, each one faster than the last, until at last I stood before the heavy wooden door of Kieran’s study. I raised my hand to knock, but froze when Kyden’s voice thundered from inside. “You think this ends here, Alpha Kieran? You owe me! A blood debt isn’t erased just because you parade her back with your pup!” My hand hovered in midair, my breath catching in my throat. A blood debt?! What did that even mean?! My chest tightened as Kieran’s voice answered, rough and low, though no less sharp. “Enough. Don’t bring her into this.”

Today we celebrate the joining of two souls into one. The elder grabbed the chalice and splashed it towards where Nikolai and I stood. I flinched, expecting the blood to splatter us, but to my amazement, the blood swirled around us. It was odd because while I had witnessed the elder mixing the blood together you could now tell that the blood had come from two individuals. I tried to recall the times I had seen Nikolai’s blood, trying to determine if it had been different than mine, but every time I pictured it, it was the same dark red color. One swirl of blood was a deep red color with flickers of tungsten appearing throughout it. I could tell that this was Nikolai’s blood. Tungsten was a s

Ken looked confused. “Wait, bloodline?” he asked. “It’s like soulmates, but for vampires. It’s a deep connection that draws you toward each other. You feel it now. “What humans call `raw love,’ we call `bloodline.’” “So that’s your excuse for why you stay?” he asked. She grabbed his cheeks again.
