Chương 33: Hans' Coming-Of-Age Drink

The castle was built hundreds of years ago and had been the seat of Baron Winston's family for at least twenty generations. It was way before the family became one of the earliest vampire families.

According to the story, the Winston family was one of the human families that sided with the ancient vampires of the past during the Great War between the vampires and the werewolves. As a reward, they were granted eternal life and everlasting youth by being reborn as vampires.

The client who bought Aiden's blood was Baron Winston, but he bought it for his grandson who was recently turned into a vampire. A coming-of-age present, so to say.

Vampires did not procreate.

The so-called children and grandchildren were human beings who managed to curry favor with them, in one way or another. In most cases, these were human children who were raised in vampire families before they were officially adopted on the day they were turned.

The butler poured some brandy into a snifter and pushed it toward Aiden.

"Please have some drink," he offered with a smile.

Aiden was too nervous to drink. He shook his head and politely pushed the drink away. The butler was about to take the drink away, but Nick grabbed it instead.

"Drink, Aiden," Nick said, pushing the snifter back in front of Aiden. "You can use some. It will calm your nerves for the first time. If you want, I can put some sedatives inside."

"No," Aiden said. "I will take the drink, but no sedatives."

He was scared, but he had to maintain his consciousness to make sure that he was in control of the situation at all times. Nick and Serena could not offer any kind of help if Aiden was unable to ask for it.

The room was lit by around a hundred tall candles. The heat filled the air, making the room feel sticky and suffocating.

It was almost unbearable.

There was not enough oxygen in the room. Aiden was starting to get dizzy.

"Excuse me," he turned to the butler. "Can we... I mean, is it possible to open the window?"

The butler gave him an understanding smile.

"Of course."

The butler opened the window slightly before he left the room. Aiden was thankful for that kind gesture. Vampires did not need to breathe. The better ventilation gave Aiden not only oxygen but also more comfort.

The young man felt even better after downing the brandy. Warmth spread from his lips down to his stomach and slowly spread to his fingertips.

Aiden very rarely touched alcoholic drinks. He remembered drinking some wine on his eighteenth birthday, and then some other during prom night. That was it. The alcoholic drinks that Harrow Lane liquor shops offered had very low alcohol content.

In big cities like Dominion, those drinks were mostly described as "cheap, third-rate drinks from the suburbs."

Granted, the brandy in Baron Winston's house was even higher in grade than most brandy in the market. Aiden quickly became tipsy.

"Aiden, are you okay?"

The young man wanted to say yes, but then he slumped forward and leaned his upper body against the table.

Serena started to laugh.

"Oh my. Sweet, sweet boy. One drink is all that it takes to make his knees weak."

The door opened with a squeak and an authoritative voice was heard coming from the room entrance.

"Is everything alright, ladies?"

"Oh, Baron Winston. Yes, everything is wonderful. Aiden here is just a little drunk."

Nick leaned Aiden against the recliner. Aiden turned his head slightly to the side and saw two tall figures at the door. Baron Winston looked like a forty-year-old man at most with his slicked-back hairstyle. His left hand was draped around the shoulder of a younger man who was just about Aiden's age.

"Oh, how innocent," Baron Winston said with a light tone. "And such a handsome young lad, too. Don't you think so, Hans?"

Hans answered with a growl instead. Aiden sobered up a little when he heard the blood-curdling sound. His eyes moved from Baron Winston to his hand on Hans' shoulder.

Hans' whole body was trembling violently while the elder vampire's hand was steady. The Baron had been holding his grandson back with a single hand.

"Calm down, now. Don't scare our little friend, alright? Let's move slowly."

Hans' eyes were glowing red. He had his hungry eyes locked on Aiden. The closer he came to Aiden, the heavier his breathing became.

Chương 34: Teaching Hans How To Drink Blood

Human beings had to die in order to be reborn as vampires. For pure-blood vampires, the transformation granted them eternal life, incomparable beauty, and also a supernatural skill that was unique from person to person.

There was only one catch to the otherwise flawless deal. It also robbed them of their body warmth forever. This was another good reason why vampires liked to suck the warm blood directly from their prey.

Nick and Serena helped to move Aiden to a chaise lounge, where Hans was seated and waiting patiently. After the latter held Aiden in his arms, he calmed down a lot. There was some kind of reassurance that was connected to having the prey delivered to his claws. To knowing that he did not have to fight other vampires for the blood.

Aiden lay on Hans' lap, his head supported on the vampire's arm. Aiden's body trembled from Hans' cold body and the cold breath that blew against his throat. It was like lying on a block of ice.

Baron Winston patiently guided Hans' hand to touch his first human being. The red-eyed young vampire had sharp fingernails. One of the fingernails went to scratch at Aiden's neck and left a long trail of red mark on the beautiful skin.

"Ah, ah..." Baron Winston clicked with his tongue as he removed Hans' hand from Aiden. "Don't scratch. Here. Feel the pulse, feel the beating heart. Don't hurt him, see how lovely he is..."

Baron Winston's words sent chills down Aiden's spine, even more than Hans' cold fingers as they tapped around his neck and gently squeezed his chest.

If not for his grandfather and the two other vampires who stood guard, he might have wanted to rip open Aiden's chest and drink his blood straight from the beating heart.

The young man's breathing became haggard. He wished he had drunk more brandy.

Baron Winston's long bony finger traced Aiden's fair neck and found his jugular vein.

"Here, you see? Right here. Gently, gently..."

Hans bowed his head and Aiden scrunched up his brows.

A searing pain spread from Aiden's neck to his entire body as Hans buried his fangs into it and tore the skin open. He had only taken a sip of warm blood before Aiden started to get dizzy. He remembered flailing with a free arm in a weak attempt of defense before the arm was caught and gently put to rest. After that, his view faded into black and he did not remember what happened anymore.

In fact, Hans had only taken three mouthfuls of blood before he was forcefully dragged off Aiden. Hans trashed around violently in an attempt to get back to drinking to his heart's content. Nick dragged Aiden away to safety, while Baron Winston and Serena busied themselves with Hans.

"Good boy, that was very very good but that was enough for the first time. If you had drunk more, he would lose his young life," Baron Winston said while restraining the young vampire's both arms.

"You, lass, tie up his legs for me!"

Serena bit into her lip. That was all she could do in order to remain polite to the baron. She swiftly grabbed Hans' legs and tied him up with a rope. And then the Baron released his grandson and they tied up his hands behind his back.

"There you go," the Baron said with a smile.

"I am sorry for the trouble. Thank you for the help."

The Baron went over to check on Aiden. His pulse was weak and his face was ghastly pale, but the wound on his neck had been expertly sealed. Not a single drop of blood had been spilled on Aiden's clothes.

"Thank you for the great meal. I like him very much. Feel free to come back anytime."

Nick smiled at Baron Winston.

"Thank you as well, Baron. I will be sure to relay your appreciation."

Regular clients usually allowed the blood seller to spend the night at the client's residence to recuperate. Although the Baron was a regular, the one who drank Aiden's blood was his grandson, who was yet to learn to control his bloodlust. In order to ensure Aiden's safety, everyone agreed to let him stay in a hotel in Dominion. All expenses were naturally to be borne by Baron Winston.

It was already past midnight when they emerged from the castle. The full moon shone above them, and from far away the howling sound of wolves could be heard.
