Novelas y relatos de Caius Volturi

“They weren’t all auxiliaries.” Quintus’ smug tone departed his voice. “Valintien? You jest with me! That big animal is dead? He’s about as mean as that Porcius beast in your troop.” He gestured with his right hand over at the thuggish cavalryman, Porcius, who checked the hooves of his mount, cleaning them out with a fine rod usually used for scouring teeth. Porcius’ black eyes, typical of a man from Greece, drilled into Quintus, but went back to his labor presently.

’ Hadrian looked at the source of the voice. ‘Go ahead, Lord von Asparn.’ Hadrian answered as the young man stood up. ‘Regardless of his allegiance, I believe that Archduke Albert has, indeed, committed a crime against the Crown and the Empire.’ The young man is Duke Richard Vilhelm Albert von Asparn, one of the Hussar commanders that fought with Hadrian during the Battle of Kahlenberg. Vilhelm's mother is the late Emperor Franz' elder sister who married a count and thus, a child of a morganatic marriage.

"I have arranged a chopper that would take you from the kingdom to the pack." "Thank you," I told him. Using a helicopter for the journey might seem extravagant, but it reduces the risk of running into danger significantly. "Your vampire was not bad," I said. Vorenus seemed to me like a very stoic man guided by some moral principles that might have been misplaced when he became a vampire. "Not bad," Mitch muttered. "But what sort of name is Vorenus?" I asked, chuckling slightly. "He is from the Roman soldiers that fought with Julius Caesar," Mitch said.

Roman’s my left, and Kai is kinda the legs I stand on. If Hails’ my advisor, then Roman is my General. All my armies are his. Malachi is equally important. He is young, but he’s the one who keeps all our shit together. The eternal student handles every penny to the Vlademyre name and monitors every investment made by our clan. Clans and Families are different. Sort of immediate family versus cousins and others with several degrees of separation, if not linked to us by marriage. Any way, despite being the youngest, and possibly the most flamboyant vamp I’ve ever met, Kai keeps our businesses at pretty high gains.

I felt my breath catch, my chest tightening, as his gaze burned into me. “Oh… " It’s you again,” he said, his tone casual but dismissive, like I was some minor inconvenience he didn’t have time for. “Oh… " It’s me,” I muttered under my breath, barely able to meet his eyes. The barista nodded toward him. “There. That’s the man you need. The only one who can take you to Blackthorn. Meet Cairos… Cairos Veylan, the mayor’s son.” Cairos paused mid-step, his eyes flicking toward the barista, then back to me. Cold. Intense. Unyielding.

Lucien said as he found her features changing to sadness “The wise woman was called by Governor Celine, and embodied her and went to tell your mate the truth.” Lucian's eyes widened, and he felt like his heart was about to explode “Don’t worry, I changed the memory recovery powder, with a powder that can’t do anything, but that doesn’t mean that Celine will stop, there is no doubt that she will tell her the truth.” He felt anger rising inside him "So everyone's starting to move." He whispered as he remembered the last report he had recently received, which stated that a group of vampires had entered his land. It did not require much thought to know that it was Lucas, Irene, and their agents.

"You love him, don't you?" I paused for a moment, thinking of Zac, then softly replied, "Yes, I do. I love him very much." Verus nodded, understanding, sitting back in his seat and smiled. "Well, let's go get him, then." And at that point, I knew I had no choice but to trust this almost two-thousand-year-old gladiator. I just hoped I was making the right choice. "Before we go, let's get one thing straight," I said, my own green eyes flaring. One side of Verus' lips curled into a menacing smile, knowing what I was going to say. "If you double cross me, you won't live long to tell about it. That's a promise."

That happens in real life? "Well okay. That makes total sense" I said, sarcastically and very angrily. "How about you pause your questions for later and work on that temper boiling in you. You are a few seconds away from reducing every building in this school to ashes. You wouldn't want that would u?" What is this..... I don't even know how to address the voice in my head. How cam I possibly burn a building? Is she trying to be funny or what? "I'm afraid not Azura."

Julius scoffed, hardly sold on Eve’s plan. Eve rolls her white eyes in response. “Of course not, at the very least the Lycan paired with Adrian is as intelligent as I am. But he’s cocky, overly confident He believes strength and physicality is all he needs to assert himself as the ultimate ruler. It’s why he recruits rogues. Disposable, reckless… but strong, acclimatised to their environment and in tune with their instincts. They can be great fighters if the fight starts in their favour. But they have no loyalty to anyone but themselves. They’re deserters, weak-willed… incomparable to the strength of your pack.” Julius’ demeanour shifted, as though he was half way convinced.
