Domination: The exercise of control or influence over someone or something, or the state of being so controlled.VesperYep, I was still hard when I reached the den and Aldrich looked at me with a smugness plastered on his face and very sexy lips that I want to punish with my cock."Did your Omega finally come to her senses?""No, she was conveniently tucked into bed after a thorough tongue fuck by your truly." I practically purred as I said the words and was satisfied when his facial expression slipped. "Come with me, I have stuff I need to tell you," I put my hand on his arm hurrying him to follow me."But, you're obviously still hard, wait... is she making you hold out?" The amusing tone of his voice was teasing me to show him my dominant side that he liked so much. Who knew the great Aldrich, the strongest bodyguard of the great Vampire king likes to be dominated by his sire's young dramatic Prince?His teasing was gone when I roughly pulled Aldrich into my room and quickly pushed
Cult: is considered pejorative by some, for a relatively small group that is typically led by a charismatic and self-appointed leader, who excessively controls its members, requiring unwavering devotion to a set of acts and practices which are considered deviant (outside the norms of society).TessaI was not nervous about going to his den and meeting his peeps. I was curious and maybe a bit too excited.The monstrosity of the mansion was what alarmed me. I lived with my grandparents and grew up mingling with the wealthy. I've seen big houses and ridiculously too-big mansions for people to flaunt their riches. But this... Nero's so-called den blew those houses off the market. Hell, the whole complex can occupy one of the small private islands I visited when I was younger. Mm...maybe I was exaggerating but sure does look like it."Well, this is not the den I was imagining. But given you cheated your way in piling money over the centuries I guess it was expected." I whistled appreciative
Emotion: a complex experience of consciousness, bodily sensation, and behavior that reflects the personal significance of a thing, an event, or a state of affairs.Ammar"You and Aldrich, huh?" Tessa's voice snapped me back from my gaze. I was pissed at my younger brother and the mentioning of the guard's name just made me irked more on the inside.So, instead of answering her question, I decided to ask her back. "Good evening, I assumed you are enjoying your stroll?" I politely questioned, thinking father cherished his human lover and I need to respect her while she was staying at the den.Tessa giggled as if my words were somehow a little too ancient for her taste. Humans... I'm too important for this, I need to get back to my territory."Hey, wait, sorry that didn't come out right," she put her hand on my arm and I look at it with a raised eyebrow. "Oh, come on, I know you're the emotionally unavailable one. What? Your daddy shares stuff. We are intimate, you know?" It was her turn
Companion: a person who frequently spends time with you, associates with you, or accompanies you when you go places.AldrichHe pushed me away. He didn't want me. They didn't want me. Fuck this. All I wanted was a mate of my own, settle down when everyone wanted nothing but my sexual companion."Aldrich, um... Where can I find the chef?"Tessa's voice interrupted my thoughts when I saw her walking into the kitchen. I was heating a blood bag since I was on rotation to guard the perimeter for the night. It was the second day she had been staying at the den, and strangely she fits in nicely with everyone. I guess partly because everyone had been tiptoeing around her, not sure of how to proceed with the strange human lover of their King."They usually left after sundown. It's one of our rules unless we demanded them otherwise. Can I help you with something?""Cheese, yes...yes, I talked to one of the chefs earlier today asking him to contact Lucius's chef for a recipe. I wonder if he had m
Desperation: a state of despair, typically one which results in rash or extreme behavior.LowellAt least there was something good about being a half-werewolf. I heal faster. I just turned twenty though probably looked like I'm thirty. I surely felt like I'm forty when my body had taken a good beating in the underground cage fighting. My knuckles felt like I'd put them through a grinder, at least my face was healed because I still need to work to pay off my debt to the Russians.After years of dealing with Mom's sickness, I was weeks away from clearing my debt with them. If my plan works. Lately, I was getting tired of juggling everything, and feels like I'm slipping away. Maybe it's a good thing.Losing Mom had felt like a lifetime ago. I had been struggling since her MS started to turn for the worst. I was young, stupid, and desperate when I decided to go to a loan shark. But it was the only thing I could think of and I did manage to get money for mom's treatment when my biological d
Brotherly: of or relating to brothers. : natural or becoming to brothers : affectionate.TessaWhen Nero told me that they had my half-brother in their dungeon I was shocked, thrilled that I could finally close that nagging feeling and get back to my life, my work. I've been bored and I needed to feel the thrill of the chase and see the fear in my victim's eyes."Don't go too crazy on him, we still need to get the truth on who's behind his constant pursuit of you," Nero, my sweet sexy king reminded me as I followed him down the narrow steps of the dungeon."Wow, you guys really had the vampire cliche down to the eerie hallways and dungeons," I whispered to no one specifically as my eyes roamed to the dimly lit passage. Nero was in front of me, while his dramatic youngest Prince, Vesper, was walking pompously behind me and Aldrich stayed close on his tail."Your half-brother is staying in our best accommodation in the dungeon. He's shackled, but I think I saw some bruises under his shir
Urge: a strong desire or impulse.Nero"Hunt, then fuck," I told Tessa before wrapping her in my arms, not wanting my little killer's mind to wander too far into her blood frenzy. I needed her calm. I didn't anticipate that watching her half-brother crumble with his life story would awaken the affectionate side of her. Seemed that brotherly love was there, and I can see that the realization was shocking the balance of her emotional nothingness."I want to bring my new toys."I cupped her face, my thumb was caressing her cheek before kissing the tip of her nose. "I'm sorry, love, we can't bring that big toy, how about your Baretta or Glock? The place will be tight, you'd want to move freely while aiming your gun.""Huh, didn't think of that. I wanted to try my bigger toys. How about we pull aside and use those Russians for some target practice?" She gave me her wicked smile and I laughed."Go on, pack your toy bag. I need to talk to Aldrich and Marius." I kissed her cheek and left her s
Son: is a male offspring; a boy or a man in relation to his parents.TessaMy heart was beating so fast as the surge of adrenaline ran throughout my body. The first shot and the second one were only seconds apart and I bit my lip when I felt the sudden jolt of thrill coursing through my veins. I know Nero could sense my excitement, but I couldn't stop myself from stealing a glance at him and smiling happily before pushing my finger on the trigger again and watching as another man fell to the ground with a heavy thud.I didn't know why I needed to avenge the injured guy in the cage but the urge was there. It was weird. It was my half-brother's words that made me chase after these damn Russians. But when I saw the guy that couldn't take the hit from the bigger guy in the cage, it made me want to blow more of these thugs' brains out.As much as I was confused about my sudden empathy for the dying guy, I just knew that I needed to do it. I needed to quench my rage, and by killing those rut
