RayaThese men are infuriating.I spent an hour trying on dresses for them and having to model it for them. They wanted to ensure it was the perfect fit and according to them I was ‘too skinny’ since I can’t fit a lot of the clothes they have available. Each time that I walked out they would tell me to walk towards them and then do a spin. I tried to refuse but Adam caged me against the wall with his arms as he reminded me that I am theirs. And I am his ‘doll’ so I have to do what he tells me.I want to smack the smug smirk off of his face, but I can’t deny that the way these men make me feel bothered. The arousal between my legs makes my knees almost buckle under their intense gazes.I walk out to show off one of the dresses they gave me, after the third dress I stopped seeing what it looked like because it didn’t matter if I thought it looked nice. All that mattered was if they thought it was a proper fit. So when Luther says in a proud voice, “Now, that’s the dress.”I have no ide
RayaBlade stayed in my room till it was time for me to meet his father. His face is grim and he seems tense and I know he isn’t looking forward to this. I want to know more about the relationship that these guys have with their father. Adam seems determined to do everything ‘by the rules’ almost like he’s scared of him, Blade is unclear of how he feels, and Luther… he seems to either not care or to think that his dad isn’t dangerous.Blade keeps a hand on my lower back as he guides me to the dining room to meet with his father. Adam and Luther both walk in front of me as if they’re my guards. My body is in tense and on edge as I feel like I’m about to enter a fighting ring.When we enter the grand dining room I keep my facial expression blank like I’m not impressed by everything going on around me. The room is gorgeous and when Blade showed me it earlier today I didn’t have much time to be in awe of my surroundings.The man is tall and radiates a powerful ancient type of presence. It
BladeI want to kiss her. If I’m honest with myself I want to do much more than just kiss her.But before I have the opportunity to, my idiot brothers bang on the door.I huff with annoyance, her eyes flicker away from mine, and the moment is lost. Pressing my lips together, I turn and unlock the door for the two of them before locking it back after they come in.Adam looks at Raya while Luther focuses on me and says, “You have father in a state of… bewilderment.”Raya’s voice questions, “Bewilderment?”Luther looks to her as if he just noticed her presence in the room. She walks closer to us and asks, “What exactly does that mean?”Luther’s eyes flicker between the two of us as he says, “It means he is impressed by Blade, but not happy that it has to do with you. He really doesn’t like half-bloods.”Raya huffs and fluffs her dress around as she exclaims, “I can’t help what I am.”I smirk in response, she has such spunk. I thoroughly enjoy being in her presence. Adam runs his fingers
RayaI think Blade is trying to kill me.I have never in my life worked out as hard as. I am to keep up with him. But if I ever fall or say that it’s hard or I can’t do it then he tells me to get back up again and push even harder.It’s crazy to think that I was so close to kissing this man just a few hours ago because now I want to do nothing other than throttle him. He seems to know this and gives me a cocky smirk before setting a cup down in front of me and saying, “Drink. You’ve earned a five minute break.”The last thing I want to drink is blood. I want to drink water. I open my mouth to tell him that and he tells me, “The blood will rejuvenate you and make you feel energized. No arguing.”My eyes narrow and I say, “I’m half human. I need water so I don’t like… dehydrate!”He rolls his eyes and push off the wall walking to the door. I stay frozen in my spot, not sure if I should follow until I hear his voice beckon, “Come along, pet.”I let out a growl but follow behind him becau
BlairI’ve always been in good shape. My father made me work hard so that I would be ready in case a vampire ever attacked. My dad’s paranoid after he lost his parents to an attack and he wasn’t home to keep them safe.It’s crazy that when the day comes you truly aren’t prepared for it. It happened so fast, it makes me upset. I should’ve been able to do something but… I know better now. I will get Raya back. She doesn’t deserve this, even if she is his daughter. She’s a human and she belongs with our family.I travel through the woods and it’s harder than I expected it would be. The uneven terrain, feeling on edge by every sound, the hours of walking and not knowing if you’re even close to the right direction. I’m hoping that I might be able to lure the vampire to me once night comes. I could make myself bleed and then put a stake through him before he can kill me.I stop walking and look up at the sky, it shouldn’t be too much longer before the sun has fully set and the night is upon
Raya It’s been a week since I was taken to the Ambrose estate.Julian ignores my existence. I’m not allowed on his floor, not allowed to any meals he wants with his sons, and under no circumstance am I allowed to have sex with any of them.At least, that’s what Julian says. Blade hasn’t tried to be intimate with me and he’s the one around me the most. We train every day, or well… night because that’s when the boys are normally awake. He says I’m getting better, I tell him that I think he’s trying to kill me and he laughs at me.Adam seems to be cautious with me. We’ve bonded over books. He brings me a new one every couple of days that he thinks I’ll like. But otherwise, he seems to be uncomfortable with my presence.Luther enjoys teasing me. He always calls me his toy, he flirts with me more when his brothers are around because he knows it gets a rise out of them, but the few times we’ve been alone he hasn’t tried anything with me. In fact, he maintains a respectful distance from me
Raya The walk to the office where Julian Ambrose is waiting is deathly quiet. Adam and Luther walk side by side in front of me and Blade walks beside me, his hand on my lower back as he silently guides me where I need to go. We go up to the next floor where I’ve been told that Julian lives. We walk into his office and immediately his eyes glue onto me and he gestures to the seat across from him and says, “Please, sit, Raya.”I do, knowing better than to argue with him, but I notice the way all of his sons frown as if they don’t like me being near him. He tilts his head to the side as he observes me and states, “You look more like a vampire than you did when I first met you.”He’s not wrong. My complexion is slightly more pale, every day I swear my reflection fades a little more, I am learning how to move quickly, my fangs seem to be growing back.I don’t answer him, not knowing how I would even respond to his statement. He says, “I think I may have jumped the gun a little bit, Ms. L
BlairThe journey to find the vampire took longer than I thought it would. It would’ve been faster if I rode Hunter’s wolf, but something about that makes me feel uncomfortable. I don’t think he would harm me, but when it comes down to it, he’s a total stranger. I don’t know his intentions.My feet have blisters on them and apparently the vampire lives at the top of a hill and the uphill terrain is exhausting. The sun is already setting and I’m beginning to feel hopeless and like Hunter might be taking me for a ride.I look over at him, he took his shirt off hours ago murmuring about how he hates traveling in his human form, I’ve tried not to look at him much since. He’s too attractive and distracting.His southern drawl drives me crazy especially when he’s looking out for my safety. I don’t know why he cares about me other than the fact he wants to sleep with me.He says, “We should probably make camp for the night, darling.”I frown, “How much longer till we get there?”He lets out
