AndreasThey say you can wake up on the wrong side of the bed. Since mine is a round California King, I’m not so sure that it has an actual side, but today when my eyes opened and I stood tall, something told me it would truly be a good day.That feeling solidified when I sensed my future queen’s presence. I quickly removed the two vampire women who had unceremoniously fallen asleep after being too tired to do it the night before. Women typically weren’t allowed to infringe upon my personal space after rendering their services, and usually there would be punishment for that mistake. I hated waking up to the needy things that wanted to put their hand on me after I’d already had my fill. But today since I was in such a great mood, I would show them some grace and allow them to live.So it seems sending the whore Odette off to her old beloved had paid off after all. It was a bold and risky move, but in that moment, I was a desperate man. Not even 24 hours later and Xenia has come back ab

XeniaThe attraction I feel for him is unreal. It’s otherworldly and unnatural, and deep in my mind, I know something is not right, but the logical side of my brain has become fuzzy and distant. Resisting is too hard. My body is being pulled to him like a magnet and I’m not sure I can fight it. A part of me doesn’t want to…He turns with a drink and cut finger dripping blood, and I can’t take my eyes away. Soon he’s stalking towards me with a determined hunger in his eyes, only I’m the one feeling like a predator. The blood… it calls to me.Before I can really object, I open my mouth only for a small taste, but the way it coats my tongue is something hard to explain. This is the second vampire’s blood I’ve tasted, so I don’t have much to compare it to, but it’s different. Unlike Demetrius’s it’s not as sweet. It doesn’t taste as good, but it’s the way it instantly makes me feel that has me baffled. I feel like I’m floating, like I can actually fly. I’m stronger, my mind is crisper l

AndreasA sudden knock at the door makes me halt, bringing forth another bout of anger. Right when things were getting very good, a distraction comes to ruin the moments.Fucking peasants. Is everyone here completely useless? I think so. They truly lack comprehension. What part of under no circumstances am I to be bothered was confusing? Whoever is at the other side will pay for disrupting me right before tasting what I knew would be the sweetest nectar that has ever graced my tongue. In fact, I am of a mind to kill them all for their insubordination. I’m kneeling in front of Xenia, when I feel her tension and uncertainties caused by the intrusion. Her head jerks in the direction of the door with widened eyes.“Sir, my apologies, but it’s urgent.” Sebastian’s voice is low, his words ominous. Of all the vampires around here, he is the most obedient and loyal to me. So for him to disturb us like this tells me it is of great importance. I stand hesitantly looking down at the lovely wom

DemetriusMy eyes fall to hers in disbelief as I stare expectantly waiting for a sign that her words are untrue. Please smile. Please laugh. Please do anything to tell me this is all a joke and that the woman who has changed my life for the better still knows who I am.But the confusion on her face is real. Her defensive body language and the need for her to back away from me is indicative of a stranger, telling me the exact opposite of what I want.Perhaps this is karma for when I tried to erase myself from her mind before, penance for playing with her emotions and bringing her into my world of the damned. It’s a punishment of the most dreadful kind. Because just now one of my worst fears has come true. Xenia has no idea who I am, and Andreas is here to fill the void of my absence.The bastard used his command to rip her memories of us away. How dare he take something so precious from her. How dare he force her in this way? The thought of him worming his way into a spot that

XeniaMy head is thumping again when I wake suddenly. Looking around the room, my heart drums rapidly against my chest realizing I’m in a strange bed alone. No. I’m in Andreas’ castle. He said something about this being my new home and he’s put in a lot of effort to ensure I’m comfortable. That should make me happy, right? Who wouldn’t want to be a queen living in a castle… Only now I’m getting the feeling that something is very off.Like, why am I drinking blood? And why do I like it? Why was I surrounded by that powerful purple glow? All of those things are extremely disturbing, questions to which there are no answers. But the one that burns into my mind the most is who was that man?Demetrius. His name… there’s a familiarity to it and it stirs things inside. I’m certain this was our first meeting, because how would I not remember someone like him? He was more than attractive. Even his voice did something to me. Those thoughts aren’t right. I shouldn’t be thinking about another man
