Rowan's POV
A weight sits upon my chest, warm pouring from it. Cracking my eyes open, blonde waves are all I see. A groan comes from in front of me, and the waves shift to the side as the weight on my chest does as well. Again, I see the blooded man from before, but this time up close. Confused, I look around the room.
"Katherine," I call.
"Yes, Dear," she answers, walking into the room. behind her, are four more people, the same ones from earlier. I focus on the guests, eyes looking for any threat, body ready to defend.
"Dear, calm down. These are the others," she smiles softly, introducing them. "This is Lilth," the ice queen "this is Elizabeth," the shy princess "this is Theo," the mischeivous prince " and this is Maximus" a cold emperor.
She points at the man on my chest," This is Liam."
"How did I get here," i question.
"You don't remeber." she tilts her head. " You wouldn't allow anyone too close to you two. You hear Liam in pain and came to help and became overprotective of him."
I nod my head," Makes sense."
"What's your name," a deep rough voice comes from Maximus.
"Rowan. Roawn Amijr Spade. and my son-"
"Son?! You dare cheat," Theo fumes.
Something inside of me gets irriated. A growl rips from my throat.
"Don't you dare yell at me! Silas is my adopted son, but he might as well be blood."
Theo shivers, lowering his head, giving a small nod.
"Now, I'm sorry for that. I don't know what came over me. Please do not let that stop you from enjoying your stay here," I apologize.
"Uh. . Why is everything so loud," Liam groans. Instinctively, I pull him closer to me, sniffing him head, giving it a small kiss. He stiffens, slowly turning towards me.
"Liam, control!!"
Confused, I turn towards Maximus, who is rushing to me with Theo right behind me. Looking back to Liam, his eyes turn from a bright orange to a shining red. He reaches up to me, pulling me down, and whispers," It's been too long." It happens too fast.
He bites into my neck. Pleasure like never before courses through my veins. I grab his waist, gripping tight, as he feeds from me. I hold my hand up, stopping Maximuz and Theo in their tracks.
"What's wrong," I groan, when I can ignore the pleasure for a second.
Katherine frowns," I didn't tell you because I was didn't think you would want to until you actually fell in love with me. " she sighs," One of the , i guess you can say, 'side affects' of doing the contract, is you can choose to drink from your spouse. It makes it so you don't have to drink from humans. Your spouse's blood will be like a drug, but it's also something intimate within the vampiric world."
"Liam most times don't know control and ever since you were introduced into our dynamic, he's been more off. He could bleed you dry," Theo explains, reaching for Liam.
"No, " I shake my head. " It's fine, leave him. You should've told me sooner, I would've let you drink from me if that's what you desire. Any of you for that matter."
A gasp leaves my lips as Liam bites down harder into my neck. Tingles shook up my spines, as I groan roughly. Pleasure spikes through me, threaten to take me for a ride, but I ignore it. Liam clutches to me, as if I'm going to leave, but i hold his head to my neck and coo," Relax, I'm not going anywhere."
Letting him have his way, at a minute before he leans up, gasping for breathe. blood in his mouth. his eyes roll to the back of his head for a second, as his tongue comes out and licks his lips.
"Had enough," I muse, staring at him. Everyone else in the room, stands in tension, ready to step in.
"I'm satisfied for now," Liam admits, licking the rest of the blood on my neck. "You taste better than i thought. Spicy and sweet at the same time."
"Why thank you," i chuckle. "Rest, some more, you were injured badly."
I remove myself from him, letting him lean back onto the couch. Walking to the door, I guesture for them to follow. Yes, I want to get to know them and spend time with them, but I also have a duty to contiune to train for the first of the Trials.
I can already see that I'm going to have my hands full.
"Fill me in of what's going on," i speak.
Lilth steps forward a bit," We were attacked when heading here to meet you. As you know, we have laws, some you can bypass, others you cannot. We have a treaty with the Church to allow them to hunt the vampires who murder innocents or kill excessively." I nod, understanding so far. " The group that attacked us, claimed we murdered thirty people in the 13th Ward."
"13th Ward?"
"In North American, the vampire worldhave divided it into different sections and within those section are Wards," explains Maximus. "As of right now, we are in the 27th Ward."
I nod," And I assume that the De Clare family own this 27th Ward and probably those surrounding it?"
"You are correct," Katherine nods.
"So this treaty-"
"It was made to benefit humans many years ago, but now that times have changed. Humans have many ways , dangerous ways, that can hurt even a Noble," Maximus interrupts. "This could mean war, on many levels. "
I sigh, thinking about the possible war. It'll be bloody, and many people both side will die. So I've got to get stronger, much stronger. Looking down at my hands, they look pathetic to me, not even worth mentioning to anyone.
"I need to get back to training," I voice, letting it be know.
"Ah! Katherine you were for real," Theo exclaims. "You're letting Rowan partake in the Trials!"
Anger bubbles in my chest.
"I need not her permission," I glare.
"But you are our little husband," Maximus purrs, from the side.
"That does not make me weak," I retort. "You do not control me. If this is going to work, then understand this. I bow before no one." I'll die first.
Walking away, I hear Lilth mutter," Nice going you two."
I plan to set a schedule for the chapters soon, hopefully. However life is not perfect. Throughout the week I'll drop at least three chapters, maybe more.
Tell me what you think, give be positive feedback!
Three days have passed, and life is resuming as normal. My training has kicked to a new level, with Vampire now being introduced to my combat field. Katherine watches from afar, deep within her thoughts. Ever since the Church's attack, Katherine has been more or less zoned out. Liam has begun to move around, although he's still weak.
To be honest, everything has been moving fast, too fast, but I feel that I can't complain. I rather get use to everything than to know nothing. My power still seems to be locked to some aspects, but using dark magic, I'm not totally helpless.
"You're getting the hang of it," a Vampire huffs, smirking at me from the ground. Having taken advice from the many Blood Servants, I use that to help with my combat skills, going so far as to do morning training with the dagger-wielder--Violet.
"Just trying to get stronger, Mike," I chuckle. "Now let's try this magic."
He gets up and gets back to his starting position.
"Awaken," we speak.
Mana bursts out of us, raging towardseach other. With my 'new' eyes, I see my mana take the form of a mighty dragon, crawling quickly towards Mike's mana, that has taken the form of a fiery tiger, roaring as it races towards mine. It's a sight to see, to have two types of mana fighting against each other. Wind whips around us, ruffling my clothes. I feel the power coursing through my viens, it sends adrenaline through my veins, a feeling I love.
Taking a second,Mike makes the first move, rushing me. He conjures 10 fire bullets, sending them to me with a wave of his arm. They come fast. I don't panic, and instead hold up a hand. The fire bullets stop centimeters from me then unravel, my mana eating the power from it to make itself stronger. Mike sends more at me along with actually fireballs. Each are stopped the same way.
It isn't til he conjures his weapon, twin swords, that the fight really begins. I summon my weapon for the first time, and it that second, I knew that it was for me. A beautiful black double-blade scythe, its blades a obsidian black, the staff a dark blue with black accents. Mike comes down with his swords from above.
Immediately, I block, sliding black from the strength of the strike. Never have I ever fought with this type of weapon, but it fits so well in my hand, feels like it was made for me. I strike at him, making a slanted slash to test the waters. Unsurprisingly, he blocks. Again and againg, we exchange strikes, sometimes even meeting; more and more, I get a feel for my weapon, like a person who use to dance getting back into the rthym, it's only a matter of time.
Foresighted, it becomes true, with a strike stop short of Mike's throat, a thin line of blood shows on his skin. We are both huffing, trying to catch our breath amongst the fierous sparring an adrenaline. His swords laid on the ground beside him, after being knocked out of his hands.
"Good, good," Mr. Kyro praises. "Again."
That's how I pass my days, training nearly constant, with many different Vampires and Blood Servants, all having their own specialty and powerful. It becomes more and more difficult, with having to use my mana and fight at the same time. My battle skills improve greatly.
Quickly, another week flies by, and my growth is terrifying. I'm able to focus my attention to everything with a 50 meter range of me, using both weapon and mana, simultaneously.
Liam has heal almost completely, with a little bit of pain when he does certain things. Lilth and Elizabeth have joined Katherine in watching my training commince, however the boys, Maximus (Max) and Theo are a bit standoff-ish. However, knowing how they feel, I dismiss it, slightly upset with just a thought.
Talking to Lilth shed light on their attitudes, and my reaction was not pretty. I mean to be loved and cherished is one thing, but to go so far as to demand what I can and cannot do! Who do you think you are to see yourself so high?!
The meer thought made me boil with anger, my eyes showing a deep burn. With strength even I didn't know I have, I slam my hand down, stopping all my opponents in their tracks. They look as if they are under immense amount of pressure, that Blood Servant start to fall one by one, even some Vampires. Though, I don't notice, sidetrack with anger. It's only when Lilth places her hand on my shoulder that I realize, immediately stopping my manan flow. Like gasping for breath, the servants take a deep breath, and the standing Vampire finally drop to their knees. Surprizingly, Mr.Kyro appears beside me. a look in his eyes that i can't place, and he ends training. QUickly after given those words, he's off to who knows where.
"I'm sorry," I wince. " I wasn't focusing."
"It's fine, however terrifying," Peter, a Vampire, shivers. Everyone around nods their head quickly. I smile, talking abit amongst them until Lilth calls for me.
"Yes, Hun," I ask, walking to her.
"We want to have a meeting," explains Elizabeth softly.
" That's fine," I smile. "Is there a reason why?"
As we walk to Katherine's part of the castle, Katherine replies," We want to establish the dynamic of this relationship, now that we have a new partner."
Confused, I tilt my head.
"As of right now you're a outlier," LIlth starts. "We don't know how you will effect the system that we have, so to understand and make sure we're all on common ground, we're having a meeting, of sorts."
Up the many stairs we go, down many more halls, we arrive to Theo's room. Since my mates are now going to be living here, they have claimed a room of their own, decorating it as the please. Katherine doesn't wait and bursts into the room.
"You can't just-"
My words die as I see Maximus holding Theo against the wall, hands holding Theo's arms up as he bites into his neck. Liam is kneeling between them, sucking Theo's cock. Theo just whimpers, withering in their hands. Maximus chuckles, softly, bitting Theo's ear, and steps back. Patting Liam head, Liam gives one more hard suck, and leans back licking his lips, and gets up, a bliss look on his face. Same could be said for Theo giving that he has a blush heavy on his check, his chest heaving, his lips slightly swollen.
OH how I was to kiss him.
Maximus turns towards us, a smirk on his face.
"Like what you see."
"Very," I answer, a heated look in my eyes, a feeling in my chest threaten to come out, but I shake my head, focusing back on why we're here. "Let's get this meeting rolling."
Maximus seems like a a great name however I think I'm going to change it, so if you see an inconsistance with that, just know I haven't taken the time to go back in previoue chapters to change it.
However, I may do the switch out, It shall be made known.
Things are about to be talked out in the next chapter. Most dialogue and maybe some flirting and understanding.
