“Yeah well, that’s a little different Jade,” Gage said without looking at her. She was right, but he couldn’t change that. He was in love with her, and it wasn’t because of the baby she was carrying. Something about her changed the way he felt.
Jade didn’t say anything, she knew her words met something to him, and she wanted him to think about that. She felt something deep for him. She felt love. “The Queen said my father could find me on your realm?” “Yes,” Gage said looking down at her. “But vampires won’t travel there, it’s far too dangerous for them. Lots of demons, and we lust for their blood. It would be instant death for them. They tried it centuries ago, and they lost a huge part of their population, Jayden was among them, he was one of thRachel’s face turned bright red, she was embarrassed. “I missed this side of you mom,” Jade said getting up and hugging Rachel. “I don’t know why we couldn’t be like this more often. I wish you never lost yourself in the years leading up to this.” “Me either, I am sorry Jade.” Rachel said hugging her tighter. “I hope that we can repair our damaged relationship.” “I think we will be able to Mom.” She said moving away from her. “Besides you are going to be a grandma, and you better spoil this little guy.” “Oh you know I plan to.” “Jade.” The Queen came into her head. “I’d suggest you get a dagger.” “Why?” she inquired. “They are not planning on tak
Jade followed Gage around, Rachel trailed them, she felt out of place there. She didn’t want to be a slave, but she was glad to be with her daughter. Jade admired everything about the castle, but she didn’t fit in that well. Everyone stared at her and made her feel weird, but they bowed their head when she neared them. “Are you overwhelmed?” Gage asked. “Yes,” Jade said looking around. “Part of me wants to run and hide, and the other part wants me to tell these people to stop staring at me, they are making me mad.” She said looking at the people. &nbs
Gage came back a little while later, he was worried but he tried to remain calm. “The Elders want to do the dedication tonight, they want your introduction as well.” He said looking at Jade and then Rachel. “You are to watch our son, don’t even think about doing anything to him.” “I wouldn’t harm my grandson,” Rachel growled. “That’s not what I meant.” Gage rolled his eyes. “You need to keep him here and safe, not everyone here likes the fact that Jade is going to be our leader. They expected the Queen to be in control.” “So I’ll let her,” Jade said closing her eyes. &
The Queen had a point, but Jade didn’t want to push Rachel for anything else. She was already a slave to Jade. “I don’t know what else you want me to do to my mother, she is already a slave to us?” Jade said closing her eyes. “I mean killing her isn’t going to make things right.” “But you’re so willing to kill her boyfriend for it?” “But he’s the one that did things to me, she was just passed out in the other room. I am sure if I told her about things, she would have stopped dating him. Hell, she might have even called the police on him and all of that.” “Why don’t you tell your mother and
Jade didn’t want to press the issue anymore, she would be careful not to mention her name anymore, or anyone she is related to. She would hide if she could, she felt helpless there. “Don’t worry I will protect you.” The Queen said. “I know, but now I have to be careful, I don’t want to get Gage hurt.” “He can handle himself, but you have to be careful because you could get yourself hurt. I can heal you, but they can bind my powers without me knowing, and then we’re stuck.” She said sounding a little worried. “But we have to expect that.” “I don’t want to worry about that, I will just not
“So we have to get ready and do this introduction of you tonight,” Gage said looking at her. “The Council wants it done, the people are getting restless.” “What do am I to expect from them?” Jade said swallowing the lump in her throat. “I know they are expecting me to be something dark and powerful and I hope the Queen can come out and give them that kind of show, but I am a little worried she isn’t ready.” She said looking away from him.” “Don’t worry Jade, we can put on a show, I am sure she can come out and do a little dance for them. We don’t have to be long. They just want us to show that she is in fact out of her slumber.” Gage said walking away from her. “Don’t worry babe I will make sure they know y
Jade wanted to rub her face, but she knew she couldn’t. Gage started to move around, she didn’t say anything until he opened his eyes and realized what happened. “Jade, did they hurt you?” He said trying to pull his arms free. “Not yet.” She said shaking her head. “What happened?” “A betrayal. This is what I was afraid of.” He said shaking his head. “My best friend of many centuries turned his back on me, for power.” He growled. “I can’t believe this, and now they have you, this is not going to end well for me.” “For you?” Jade snapped. “They are going to murder me in front of the Council!” “
“I think I will get away with this Gage, you’ve been a pain in the ass far too long, you haven’t done anything but cause us pain for centuries, first not ridding the legendary vampire, now you have a baby with her.” He said glancing at her. “You are lucky I cannot find the child, her slave has him hidden well.” “Good and when we’re done here, you will not find him,” Jade growled. “I will ensure that!” “You are going to die, Jade, how are you going to ensure anything,” Michael said walking with her onto another stage. “Now Gage, don’t make this hard, otherwise I will make you kill her.” “You know I wouldn’t,” Gage growled. “Even if the Council tries to force me, it will never happen.” He said struggling, trying to get free of the two Spell-Blades holding him.
