True Blood Vampire Hierarchy Novels & Stories

Charlotte found this silence peaceful and closed her eyes to sleep. ... “Hurry up, Move!” In the middle of the night, rattling of chains, screeching of old cages and yelps of little girls abruptly woke her up. Soon, her cage was opened too and they were dragged to a room behind the stage. From the scents, it was evident that most of buyers were Royals as well as Velenos, the most prestigious pure blood family after Royals. Pure blood Vampires were divided into four families: Royals, Velenos, Venatores and Lyns. Charlotte’s father told her that they belong to Lyns family, the lowest ranking one.

It was subtle but significant. We continued talking, going over the basics which were recorded for the Werewolf Council's files. The current leadership hierarchy was as follows: Alpha Richard, Luna Felicia, Beta Miller, and Gamma Kano. It should be noted that he didn't provide the Beta and Gamma females’ names until prodded. Sandra and Paulina respectively. It made me wonder why that was. Then there was Alpha heir Mick. The Beta and Gamma heirs were apparently only twelve, so the Alpha heir would be choosing his own Beta and Gamma when the time came for them to take over leadership. Blood Lake pack law stated that when the Alpha heir was twenty-five, OR had found his mate.

Not playful. Because I knew the truth even as I asked it. If he had told me to kneel, I would have. If he had told me to stay, I would have. If he had told me to bare my throat, I think I might have. That was not normal. That was not hunger or bond or blood intoxication. That was power. I had felt compulsion before. Vampire hierarchy was built on it. Ancient blood could bend younger wills if pushed hard enough. But this was different. This did not feel like pressure or dominance.

He took a breath letting it settle the ice of his heart and slowly he came back to himself “the new vampire lord has demanded my land” his brother said He looked at his brother in surprise “the who what now?” he said making consus smile “you’ve updated a couple of things i see” consus said “you could say that talk to me i have not heard of a new vampire lord in this area not since father abolished the rule before his death” he said “this vampire has taken it upon himself to become one and has taken to waging war to the surrounding groups, me and you and just two other groups are left he means to take the entire area and become an overlord” consus said

And he betrayed me in the cruelest way possible. "I think you know your mother always preferred me," Damon continued. "She said the Volkov bloodline would always be superior to the Vance line." In the following months, my "transfer" was just a cover. As the heirs to two ancient houses, Damon and I were soon moving through the vampire world's circles of power. The Old World Council. The Crescent Hegemony. Even the secretive Elder Coven. Every time we appeared, I could feel the awe from the other vampires. Thorne and Volkov, united. It was a symbol of unshakable power.

The royal vampire family was in charge of all Vampire Halos before they died. Unfortunately, nearly twenty years ago, an evil faction of vampires murdered the last living royal. All of the Halos fractured after that. Now, you’d think it would be good to get out of what outsiders view as an imperial autocracy, but vampires are not like that. Vampires need a hierarchical system for several reasons. Three of the biggest are; to maintain order, amplify their powers, and for their protection.

A ruby was ornamented on its center—a symbol of a coven supreme’s power. “Thank you, Romaine. By the way, I like your little crown on your head,” Rozelyn applauded with a feminine wink and wide grin. “Don’t worry, Roz. You too will be wearing this since you are my Grand Vampire.” “Grand Vampire?” “Second to the Supreme. A coven is ranked from highest to lowest, beginning with the Supreme, then the Grand Vampire, then the High Vampire. The rest were addressed in ordinal numbers, beginning from the Fourth down to the last member. A coven usually has twenty-two members, but sometimes it can exceed depending on the Supreme’s decision.”

Clustered around an ice mountain, from the outermost part of the packground to the center, the houses of the pack members were divided into the lower grounds, middle grounds, higher grounds, center grounds, and the Supreme Ground. The lower and middle grounds were respectively allocated to the weaker members of the pack such as the Omegas, half-humans and etc., while the higher and center grounds were allocated to the intermediate and stronger members of the pack, such as the Betas and Gammas, strong witches, wizards, fairies, and faes, among other shapeshifters and magic wielders. The Supreme Ground, the most sacred and special place of the pack, was home to the Vampire Lord and Werewolf Mi

At least some of these earth vampires understood what a vampire hierarchy was. The oldest overpowered the youngest unless they were of royal bloodline. I continued to glare. They slowly got the hint and threw their computers in their bags. As they scattered out the door, I lifted my lip to show a fang. Clearing my throat opened the collar wider on my dress shirt. It was getting obscenely warm in here. Since my heart started beating and being brutally aware of Christine's strong scent could do that. Could she not feel the heat?

(JO POV) Today's lecture in Vampire 101 with Dr. Matthews was particularly intriguing. It focused on the royal lineage and its division into five prominent families from the original. As Dr. Matthews delved into the complexities of vampire hierarchy, he highlighted our unique position, mentioning the rare opportunity we had to learn alongside a member of the original family.
