Prologue

1719 Words
(Year 1803) Seraphim sat still on the branch of an old oak tree. Watching a vast mansion owned by a wealthy man. With wealth greater than anyone he met, but not as great as his. His mother, perished in the hands of hunters, left him a great deal of treasure. Not only fortune but kingship. His beautiful mother, the only daughter of The Count, saved him from death. He was the only offspring she had. Their one and only heir. A royalty believed to be the most cruel of all. He kills and drank the blood of anyone he encounters. Every trait that his father and mother have all passed on to him. His blood can revive any dying vampires and create new ones. He was their god, he was their king. He creates and takes life as he pleases. He feeds on virgin humans be it male or female, since untouched bodies in lust gave him much more. He always prefer them to be in their adulthood. In this era, they have an immeasurable number of pure adults. Seth, his second in command hunted them for him. He brought him limitless women and men that wanted to be in bed with them. When they lay on his bed, he always planted desire and passion on their prey’s minds. Once he is to feed on them, he takes it away and they run away from him. The king always loves a good hunt. The more they ran from him, the more lust for blood he felt. When he’s in the mood he walked around the forest to find his next prey. He drinks their blood to the last drop and decides whether he will keep them alive or not. It all depends on what he sees in their memories when he suckle from the corner of their necks. Or he simply goes on killing spree. His prey only screamed for help when they see his eyes turn from brown to luminous scarlet. Everytime he showed them his true nature, they ran away. But the moment he caught them and sink his teeth into their flesh, they feel unfathomable amount of lust. Made it easier for him to drink their blood. But it all changed, because of Jinri, the son of this wealthy man. The young male he carefully watched everyday, even when drinking someone’s blood he imagined he drinks his. The king found him wandering in the deepest part of the forest, where a virgin waterfalls lies. He always played with the water that graces his feet. His smile gave the king a blissful feeling. He watched him everyday silently among the trees. When Jinri starts to undress himself, it made Seraphim’s body moved closer to his direction. He was overwhelmed with the feeling of wanting to touch Jinri’s beautiful body. Jinri bathes into this waterfalls all the time. His bare body clearly seen in the pure waters. For the first time, Seraphim felt something different. His cold heart throbbed in his chest. He felt desire and lust, but not for blood this time.  The thought of Jinri in his arms, his beautiful unclothed body, parted sweet lips while he moaned in his ears continuously. The smell of his pure blood in his mouth had given him more desire for blood than he ever had with any humans. Seraphim watched him everyday with undisguised lust. He never longed for anybody this much. Seraphim’s mother had once told him of a vision she had about him. She said he will be besotted to someone. He will be completely enamored. Not just with the blood but with everything. He laughed at his mother’s premonition, he never believed her, until he laid eyes on Jinri. His thoughts came back to him when Seth spoke, “my lord. Are we to stand still? I could get the women in that mansion for you and bring them to your chamber. They have a variety of different women...” “Shhhhh… I don’t want them… I have my eyes set on one.” he said while he watched Jinri lay on his bed reading a book. Seth stood next to him, “my lord, tell me who you desire and I will get them for you.” “That one…” Seraphim pointed to a young male lying in his bed. “The general’s son?” Seth sounded shocked. Seraphim looked at him and he lowered his eyes. The king turned his gaze back to Jinri. “What could he taste like? I’ve been watching him since I saw him in the forest. I’ve never wanted anyone so badly, yet I stopped myself every time I see him.” Seraphim felt his body shivered a little from the imagination of Jinri’s bare body under him. “My lord, if I take this young male his father would be looking for him. It may be unfavorable for us, that general is a vampire hunter.” Seraphim looked at Seth, he knelt down. “Since when did you fear a hunter?” Seraphim asked. “Your father-...” “My father is not here anymore. I’m your king now.” “But your mother… she told me to look after you.” “That is the reason why, you were the only vampire who had a chance to copulate with my mother. She did that because you gave her an oath to stand by my side in any way I pleased. She created you for me.” “I have never forgotten the reason of my existence, my lord. I adored the countess for so long, but I’m also your friend sire. That is why I will protect you with every ounce of my blood.” Seraphim glanced at Seth again, “yes, you are the only one I trust and consider as a confidant. That is why you do this for me, unless you want to cut ties with me.” Seth lowered his head and bowed, “I will never dare, my king. Please pardon my pretentious questioning.” Seraphim turned his eyes to Jinri’s again. He wanted to know what he taste like. He had never been attracted to a human, but Jinri is different. He had never even tasted a single drop of his blood. Never even touched a strand of his hair. Yet, he’s attracted to the scent of his skin. Even this far Seraphim can smell him. “If you are too scared to get him for me then I’ll do it myself. I don’t want you to touch him either,” Seraphim launched himself to the ground and walked towards the mansion. The sun sets. As the last rays shine directly on the king’s skin, he felt the warmth of the sun. Being a royalty, it gave him the ability to walk during the daytime without turning to dust. Seth followed him, he had the opportunity of drinking Seraphim’s blood and his mother’s  to make himself resilient from the burning sun. “My lord, it’s the general,” Seth stopped Seraphim from walking. They both watched as Jinri’s father came inside his room. He smiled at his father. Seraphim’s heart suddenly races. He backed away immediately. His heart, the strongest part of his body, continuously beats loudly in his ears. His mother was right after all, Seraphim knew she is never wrong with her visions. He only laughed because he thought it would be the first time she will be wrong. But now, as he watched Jinri smiled and laughed, even with this distance, Seraphim knew well that he now yearned for this young male. What he felt towards him is stronger than his yearning for blood. “My lord, what’s wrong?” “Protect him as how you will protect me.” Seraphim looked at Seth. His eyes widened in surprise as he knew who and what the king was talking about. “Swear on my mother’s blood coursing through your veins, you will protect him from anyone who may harm him, including myself.” “My lord, I don’t under-...” “Swear!” “Sire…” Seraphim cupped Seth’s neck with both hands, “swear with your life. Swear on my mother’s name…” Seth kneel, “I swear to you, my lord, my king. I swear in the Countess’ name, I will protect the young male in all his lifetime. I will devote myself to you and him, until my last breath.” Seraphim pulled Seth’s face to his and kissed him, sealing the promise. He drew blood from his wrist and let Seth drink from it. “Drink and make yourself stronger than anyone below you. You will never leave his side like how you did mine. You will protect him if I’m not there to do so. You will give your life for him like how you would do for me.” Seraphim felt Seth’s teeth sunk into his wrist. He grabbed his arm with both of his hands and sucked. The king patted his head as he blessed him with strength and power to do his oath. To protect the only human who could make him vulnerable. As the sky darkened, the only light Seraphim see was the light in Jinri’s room. He watched fondly as Jinri stood by the window looking at the night sky. He wanted to savor Jinri’s blood in his mouth. Taste him in his tongue, take him undraped in his arms. Make love to him passionately for the first time in his eternity. But he wants to protect him more. He will have Jinri in his arms, he swore on his royal blood. Even if it means to never drink any other human blood, but Jinri’s only. “I will come for you and make you mine, my chosen mate.”
