Chapter 22I stepped into my coven meeting and everyone went silent. I was getting strange looks from my priests. I expected this as they were looking at my now blood red eyes with a rose gold tint… Yet, no one dared say a word. I didn’t bring it up either. I just carried on the meeting like normal, as if nothing was different. I educated everyone once again about the amulet and The Others. No one had found out anything that could help us. They were all aware of the extra security and the hope to figure out a way to stop The Others from retrieving the amulet, and opening Pandora's Box. I let them all know I would be in touch with more updates in two weeks. And if anyone gets wind of anything, they are to mind link me immediately with the information. As we were leaving my second in command, Nico, approached me regarding my eyes. He would be the only one who dared to ask. “They are the product of owning a pet.” I said. “You bought a pet? What?” He asked. He was surprised, I could te

Chapter 24That night I didn’t sleep much. I could hear Amethyst's slow and steady heartbeat in the room to my left, and Ambrosias erratic heartbeat in the room to my right. Amethyst never had nightmares, she slept easily and without issue. Ambrosia, on the other hand, still seemed to suffer. I offered for her to sleep in my room with me, but she insisted that she sleep in her own room. I was lying in my bed thinking about everything Amethyst had said about The Others and the Ringmaster, Claude, that it wasn’t like I was asleep anyways. I knew Ambrosia didn’t get much sleep after she woke up from a nightmare, because I had watched her night after night with the same style of routine. None of it involved going back to sleep right away. Her heartbeat was quickly getting more erratic and I decided to try something, just to see what would happen. I materialized into her room, next to her bed. I slowly climbed into bed with her, careful not to wake her. She was mumbling something in he

Chapter 26(Amethyst)Nico’s home was a lot different than Rowen’s. It was more of a standard looking place, but it was still huge. Three levels and multiple rooms throughout. His home wasn’t really decorated but he did have black and Silver accents throughout on his furniture and rugs. I noticed that the entire home was a nice shade of gray with black accent painting and then the dusting of silver that matched his eyes… When they weren’t red, of course. Nico was taller than me, by at least a foot. He had a muscular build that I think all Reaver’s shared. His skin was a beautiful porcelain color, which accented his pitch black hair and brought out the silver in his eyes. His jawline was sharp and he had short trimmed facial hair. It came down from his sideburns and connected under his chin. To say he was easy on the eyes was a complete understatement. I knew he just liked me because I could give him those extra Vampire powers that he loved, along with the blood rush… But I wasn’t co

Chapter 28After we ate, the girls hung out and Nico arrived early with Amethyst. We showed him the dresses and he said it was fine to dress her in the silver one as he had no idea what she was going to wear anyways. So it ended up working out to our liking. We had gotten everyone ready, including ourselves, and we were just waiting for the girls to come down from hair and makeup. They all came down at the same time and I couldn’t take my eyes off Ambrosia. She was absolutely stunning. In fact, all three of them were. The fact that I had to collar Ambrosia was annoying, to say the least. But if I didn’t know any better I would say Ambrosia would outshine 90% of the Vampires who will be at the Blood Ball tonight. In fact, all three of them will. I looked over at Nico and I think he was about to pass out, which made me snicker. Judging by the redness in Amethyst's face, there was more going on there than they led on. Just another reason for me to try and find a way to legally turn th

Chapter 30That’s when I decided to grab her, snapping to produce a knife and holding it to her throat. She was screaming and Claude stopped dead in his tracks. “Dude, p-please don’t hurt her.” He begged. “I won’t, as long as you give me the information that I want.” I said. Amethyst's heart was beating out of her chest. Claude definitely believed that she was in danger, even though she wasn’t. Not really. I couldn’t tell her the plan or she wouldn’t have been afraid. I needed actual fear, and I got it. I had to fight the urge to sink my fangs into her right now with all this fear running around. She was going to kill me after this and I would have to make it up to her, somehow. “Ok, ok, man, what do you want to know?” Claude said. “The Others, what were they meeting in secret about at your pet store?” I said. His eyes went wide, and I heard him whisper ‘Fuck’ under his breath. “I can literally tell you anything else, anything else but that.” He said. “That’s too bad, she’s so pre
