He saw her there. Her long brown hair blowing in the wind and her skirt dancing across the breeze. She was an undeniable beauty. Akenos had never felt his heart stop beating in his chest at the sight of a woman. She was the one. He never intended on taking a mate, there was no need. He had many women to warm his bed. However now it seems there maybe one worth breaking his rules."I don't believe I have ever seen you at the eternity pools?" Akenos said out loud in his baritone voice."Perhaps that is because I have chosen for you not to see" the woman answered."Unlikely no one can hide from me. I am a God. And not just any God I am the god of destruction and desire." Akenos said the cockiness oozing from his voice."Destruction and desire? Such an odd pairing. Must make you very ineffective at your duties" the woman quipped.Akenos was incensed. Who was this woman to insult him."I am quite well at my job. Destruction can be desired and desire can be powerful enough to lead to destruc
Anna sat up in the bed gasping for air and grabbing her neck. A tear was rolling down her cheek."Ian" she whispered, "Ian please save me."With that the door slammed open and Ian was in her sight within a second. She collapsed into his arms, sobbing."My love what is wrong?" Ian asked his brows furrowed."He is coming Ian, he is coming" she sobbed."Who my love?" Ian questioned."Akenos....he is coming" she broke down in his shoulder.Akenos....Akenos. Ian couldn't place it. It felt like he should know this but it didn't seem to mean anything. He held her closer and rubbed circles on her back. "No one will harm you" he said firmly.Anna grabbed his wrist and placed her thumb on his pulse."See" she cried and then lighting went through Ian's skin. His mind became jumbled with thoughts and memories. Then he felt it. A wall coming down between his souls. A surge a raw energy crawling through his skin. And then he could smell him."Akenos!!!" he roared his eyes obsidian."I will slaught
"How much more time could you possibly need" the man shouted."Well father, since you offer no services of your own it does require me to stop my current engagements to entertain your destruction plans." Desmond stated flatly."You arrogant bastard. I made you! You are nothing without me." the man yelled."Yes the great Councilman Grey is indeed nothing without his bastard son to play to the others." Desmond smirked.He was in no mood for his "father's" commotions. In fact, he had decided last night that the councilman had served all his purpose."You would have nothing without my name boy" Grey said. His face was red with anger. Quite a feet for the disgustingly pale vampire.Just then Desmond moved and pinned Grey to the wall. His claws extended digging into the flesh of his neck."That is where you are mistaken. I only needed you to turn this forsaken human I was reborn into. I need none of your power I have my own!" Desmond Seether. His eyes began to swirl a deep red."Wha...What..
Helga rounded the corner from the office and began to walk towards the back of the mansion. Her face was a perfect blank slate, but inside her stomach churned with unease. The master's appetite for slaves was increasing weekly. She had thought that perhaps this girl would be the last. He kept her for almost three months. However, now looking back he had been distracted with this one. Now he had that same crazed look. As if he was a man possessed.She quickly approached the heavy wooden door to the cellar. She pushed the door open and began the slow decent down the stone spiral case. Her heels clicking across the stone echoed off the walls. Once at the bottom she saw the long row of doors. To the left those that were not ready yet to be fed to the master. To the right those that were viable. As she looked down the rows more doors were empty on the right. Each room held two girls. There were 12 rooms in all here in the cellar. She shook off her guilt and walked down the hall.Faint sobs
"Run...""Run...""Run....but you will never run far enough.""Ah!".Anna startles herself awake. Another nightmare, another dream of him. This stranger that keeps haunting her dreams. This has been the pattern of the last three years. She thought at first the dreams were sweet, her subconscious speaking to her empty heart. But slowly they have morphed into a chase of predator and prey. She chastised herself for reading too many damn romance novels in her early years, creating the perfect man...who doesn't exist. Now she's convinced this is her punishment for not engaging in any relationship, she never could, she had created the ultimate fantasy for herself and no real man could compare."Well...since I clearly am not going to get any sleep I might as well finish the last of this packing." She said out loud to her now almost barren apartment. She was taking the next step in her life, a huge move to Europe. Romania, of all the places that called to her this was the one. Her mother had
"Sir, your guest has arrived." the assistant said to Ian." I trust there were no issues Levi?" Ian asked, his voice stern and stare unwavering."No sir. She is located where you requested and the staff have been informed to be on their best behavior." Levi responded. His boss was very clear in his expectations and he knew the consequences of failure."Good. See to it that I have my usual table for dinner." Ian said turning the leather chair to face out across the garden."As you desire, sir. " Levi said, taking his cue to exit the office.Finally it was all coming to fruition. The months of planning and searching. The years of waiting. She was now finally within arms reach and that is all he required to finish what had been started so long ago. His eyes flickered down to the garden. Pink roses blooming, quite a feet in this environment. They had been her favorite and for her he had made sure they would survive here, in her garden, in the last place he held her before fate intervened.
The council chamber was a silent as a tomb. Ironic really when the entirety of it's occupants were the undead. Ian stood unmoved from the circle waiting for the next move to be made. Out of the corner shadows Council member Greyson came forward. He being the oldest living member of the council, he was the mountain to be moved. However, he rarely was swayed from the archaic and ancient rules governing the vampire hierarchy."If we are to believe this document, then that would make you almost a living legend. You would sire the only connection to our creator. IF....it is to be believed," Council member Greyson stated."You are more than welcome to scrutinize the document you will find it is valid in all it's nature." Ian said unwavered by Greyson's dismissive commentary."Let us perform the fire test." Greyson ordered without a moments hesitation.The fire test, an old method of validation for sure. All true articles of creation and birth are bound by a spell from the witches coven to p
"I have waited for this for so long".""You will submit to me.""Your body will crave only my touch."Anna was once again in her nightmare. She ran down the stone corridor, her purple night gown of silk flowing softly behind her. She pushed through the chamber door and barricaded herself in. "I am safe." she breathed out."My darling it is not that simple to escape me," came the baritone voice from behind her.She turned to see his piercing green eyes locked on to her. She felt her heart skip a beat, but at the same time a warm sensation creeped down to her core."I have come for what is mine." he said, as he strode across the floor to her.He grabbed her by the waist and pulled her to his body. He was solid like a wall, she could feel the tightness of his muscles, the fine movements they made as he wound his hand in her hair. She felt the solid length of his excitement caressing against her stomach."Tonight you will bathe in pleasure" he whispered just before capturing her lips. Hi
