“Would you have said yes?” he asks raising his eyebrow at
me.
“Maybe, if you had let me think about it for a minute,” I
then yell at him.
“A minute, a second. It makes no difference, I marked you
and you accepted and now it is done,” he says mildly.
“Oh you are just… infuriating. No bloody wonder I found you.
Seems to be my lot in life to be surrounded by tall, gorgeous, exasperatingly
maddening beasts.” I am riled up now and even more so as he just smirks at me.
“You think I’m gorgeous?” he asks and I clench my fist and
pull back to punch him squarely in the face.
Admittedly, I didn’t use much of my Vampire strength but
clearly I should have, the man is built like a brick shithouse.
“Fuck!” I yell at him shaking out my hand, as he rubs his
jaw in mirth.
“Is that all you’ve got? I’d have pegged you for much a
harder hit than that.”
“Oh let me try again and you won’t even see me you’ll be so
far into that forest,” I snarl at him and he laughs at me. I step forward and
he steps to the side turning us in a circle away from the windows almost as if
he is goading me. My three now silent boys back up as they see the change go
over me and none of them particularly wants to intervene. Flexing my fist again
I advance on him and using all of my Vampire strength I punch him again in his
face and this time much to my satisfaction he goes flying into the door behind
him and well actually through it, into the main corridor. We are just busting
doors all over the place tonight. Not bad going, really. Okay maybe I used a
bit of my Dragon Power as well. Shaking it off as I step through the gaping
hole, I find him still conscious, barely, slumped up against the opposite wall.
“Better?” I say to him as I help him up.
“Much,” he says as he stands shakily. “You are truly
worthy.”
“Humph, I should think so. You won’t find anyone better,” I
say, no false modesty here.
“No, I won’t. I chose well.”
“Yes, you did.”
“Chose what?” CK snaps at us as he too steps through the
gaping hole although he looks furious with me, I see the pride as well for the
damage I caused.
Aww crap, I think as Lincoln beams at me adoringly, “I
marked her. We are paired. She is my Alpha mate.”
Tuscany, Italy, 1277 - Aefre
Three. It had to be three. I didn’t know why. It was how
I liked it. He knew as he came in to find me lying on the floor in the last
patch of sunlight before it disappeared, leaving me in the dark again. I didn’t
have much energy to move so I just stayed there. He placed the candles on the
side by the bed and quietly came over to pick me up, cradling me in his arms
and whispering to me. I relaxed as his voice washed over me, pulling me under
his spell. He placed me gently on the bed and I turned away from him. He sighed
and lit the other two candles from the one already burning. Three. It had to be
three. He crawled onto the bed behind me and held me close. He loosely draped
his arm around me careful not to hold too tight, in our nightly ritual. He
waited with me until I fell asleep and stayed with me to comfort me as I cried
in my sleep.
“Please come back to me, Aefre,” he whispered as he does
every night. “I am sorry I left you there. If I had known, I would have come
for you.”
I didn’t say anything. I never said anything to him or
anyone any more. I knew he wanted me to be well again but I didn’t think I
could do it. I knew at least a dozen years, more even, had passed since I was
held in capture but I was broken. I was so tired because I didn’t drink enough.
Having been starved of blood for twelve years, I drank so much when I was
rescued that I killed the human. I drained him dry and it made me physically
ill. I didn’t drink from humans anymore and barely partook of Vampire blood and
only then, his.
“Aefre, please drink.” He picked up on my weak thoughts
and placed his wrist to my mouth. I wanted to. I wanted to make him happy. I
was doing nothing to please him and I was afraid now he was going to leave me.
To take me somewhere and just leave me there to be rid of this burden I was for
him. That thought scared me so much I dropped my fangs and pulled his wrist
into my mouth. He hissed as I bit down on him and he whispered, “Good girl.
Drink. Take your fill.” I did as he asked now desperate to keep him happy with
me. I could feel the power of his blood giving me strength and I took more as
my thoughts became clearer. As the haze started to fade I pulled back and I
knew I had to respond to him. I didn’t want him to leave me. I turned in his
arms to his surprise and I looked into his beautiful dark eyes that went darker
as he saw signs of life in mine. I closed them as he stroked my face. “Oh
Aefre. Are you coming back to me? I have waited for this day for so long.
Please speak to me. Tell me you are coming back to me.”
I tried to speak but no sound came out. I tried again but
it only came out as a whisper, “I love you Constantine. Please don’t leave me.”
His eyes lit up at my words. “I love you, Aefre. I will
not leave you. Not ever again. Not ever again. I will be by your side forever,”
he said fiercely and I knew I would be well again.

I was born in
England and grew up in South Africa. I moved back to England in 1997 and met my
husband, now separated, but we have two beautiful children: a girl and a boy.
I am currently
studying towards a BA in English Language & Literature, which is something
I have always wanted to do and never had the time before. I enjoy the finer
things in life. I love Louboutins and fast cars & my beloved Manchester
United. A perfect evening in, is good wine, candles and a good book!
I have always
loved to read, anything Paranormal catches my interest, and writing has always
been a passion of mine so I decided to take the plunge and combine the two into
a series novels. I have many more ideas churning around in my head and can’t
wait to get them down on paper!
I hope you enjoy reading
my books as much as I enjoy writing them!
