The Temple Of The Vampire Novels & Stories

“He said we would find her in Golden-ville.” Vampires were standing at the bailey of the fortress, the Vampire Castle was located in the deepest part of the forest in Arcadia Falls. Hidden beyond the human imagination. Vadim was standing on the stairs that led to the entrance. Next to him was Vincenzo who was tied to a wooden beam. Vadim assembled all the vampires that dwelled in the castle so that he could pass his judgment. Some of the vampires who didn't have daylight rings were lurking in the dark places, hiding inside and looking outside through the windows, hearing, and peeping at their leader. He wanted them to witness the execution of Vincenzo, the traitor, but before that, he wanted

A vampire My instinct screamed to leave the premises at once, but I stayed. I would fight my way out if need be, but I wasn't exactly sure how many they were. The weird stance of the Secretary finally made sense—She was a vampire too. No wonders… "I've been wanting to see you, Mr.?....." "Drake," he said cheekily. "Mr. Drake, it's nice to meet you finally," I said with a sharp smile.

The Ember Ghost opened his mouth and showed his sharp teeth before lowering her mouth to the exposed woman’s neck. The crowd watched in silence as the Ember Ghost appeared to suck the woman’s blood. The woman’s arms flailed weakly but her face looked serene, if not enjoying the experience. Then, the woman’s expression slowly changed into pain and she grimaced. She placed her arms around the Ember Ghost’s head weakly before dropping them weakly to her side. Then, the woman’s limp body slid out of view leaving the Ember Ghost standing. He wiped the remaining red stains from his mouth with a swipe of his arm before disappearing within the smoke that blew from across the float.

The vampire lord who suffered from blindness and burning pain threw himself backward into the temple's darkest space near the entrance where no light reached. Vane screamed "This isn't over Warden!" because he experienced venomous agony. The Court will come for you now that The Veil is down! The moment Lord Vane lunged through the door crack he transformed into a swirl of burning dark smoke to escape the temple before the sunlight could finish killing him. The scent of old blood vanished from the area to reveal a new odor which combined ozone with the smell of burned fabric. The temple returned to its quiet state except for the sound of Dante's heavy breathing.

Lior chose the mate bond over Thornhaven's orders, and that choice came with a price that's now being actively collected. They reach the collapsed temple after what feels like hours but is probably closer to thirty minutes of difficult travel through forest that fights their passage with every step. The structure rises from undergrowth like broken teeth, ancient stone carved with symbols that predate modern wolf packs by centuries. The interior offers shelter from wind and snow, though calling it comfortable would be generous. But it's dry and defensible and far enough from both the den and any vampire positions that they should have time to rest without immediate threat of discovery.

An afterimage of creation’s first scream. The temple itself crouched low and wide, as if too sacred to rise. Built not of stone, but starbone, petrified remains of celestial giants, bones of dying gods. The pillars leaned at impossible angles, balanced by laws older than gravity. The whole place hummed. Quietly. Like a world remembering how it was once made. Kael swallowed, feeling the weight of the void in his bones. Vessa arrived next. Sword at her back. Shoulders square. Her breath caught when she saw the temple. Her eyes glinted, not with awe.

A vampire shouted and swarms of them bursted out from the trees and darkness into the battle zone. Tyler, seeing this, cursed under his breath and for a second, fear crept into him,"Oh fucking hell…"

The car stopped near an old abandoned building where Alaric stepped out and headed to the entrance. He took a deep breath before proceeding to enter the building. Although the building appeared to be abandoned for ages, from the inside, it was furnished with a dark Victorian theme. A guard followed behind Alaric and escorted him to the basement. They stood in the elevator for a while without exchanging any words. The door of the elevator opened and Alaric stepped out to meet the council elder Edna having a meeting with a young vampire cult. Her gaze fell on Alaric's distraught expression and she dismissed the meeting.

His limbs were ripped from their sockets, torn apart piece by piece. “Ah,” I let out a sharp gasp watching the gruesome sight and then realizing it was no different from what Rowan wanted to do. This scene would be a ghastly feast for any vampire, a sight that was capable of satisfying their darkest and most depraved desires - blood. And yet, this was exactly the kind of slaughter that Rowan had been craving. “Are you alright?” Alpha Axel asked me suddenly, his eyes scanning my face. “Y-yes. I am,” came my reply, with an affirmative nod.

I doubted any of them did. He lead me to where the other pets were, lining me next to another girl before leaving to get another. I stayed as still as possible, trying to focus on regaining some warmth. The other girls around me whispered and whimpered to each other, most of them shivering as well. About five more minutes passed before the lights in the front of the clinic flashed on, causing me to flinch my head away and shield my eyes. "Alright pets," A Vampire standing in front of the crowd of us yelled, "All of you should know by now how this works, but as I've learned over the years, you humans are too incompetent to remember and it pisses me off having to repeat myself so listen up!"
