Many Centuries Later

Johrir/Creed

I lost track of my former family over the years; I still think about them for a split second until the spell kicks in, and I change and think about something else. I know Elijah celebrated another birthday a few months ago, and Mina, I still miss her dearly; then I turned to see my wife, my Queen, dancing at the ball she kept for our anniversary. All her friends and allies attended, and they greeted us; some even asked when we plan to start a family, as it has been years. I honestly vowed never to get her pregnant, and I made sure of it, but I find that she has been asking a lot lately. She pretended to be this countess, and then I saw King Ivar, who was with his father. Ivar recently took the throne and was currently looking for someone to mate with, so he was invited here, hoping to find a nice maiden suitable to be Queen. No one here knows my true identity or Vivianne's, and I watched as she deceived many people over the years to get what she wanted.

Gregor was Ivar's dad, and he was ruthless among all the Lycans; he raised Ivar to be just as ruthless, and he was a force to be reckoned with. He had planned to stay out of the spotlight, but he was an old friend of Vivianne's, and I was surprised because he didn't like witches much, especially after Queen Marion turned down his wedding proposal, so I've heard. I took a walk away from everyone when I heard moans in the distance; I walked to the other side so as not to disturb them, when I heard a familiar voice. I tried not to think much about it, and I ended up stumbling upon them anyway. I could have sworn I saw a ghost; it was Jemmont's son, Kolie, with a maiden; he was the spitting image of his father, and I smiled. He looked at me; I wanted to tell him who I was and to get help, but he wouldn't know me, or I wasn't able to speak about it, so I smiled, saying, "My apologies," and walked away. I went back to the party as my wife walked up to me, saying, "You are doing well among your old friends."

I wanted to tell them who I was, but I had hoped to see Elijah since Kolie was here; we ended up dancing as the crowd watched when Elijah walked in with a maiden on his arm. She mind-linked me, "If you notify him of who you are, I will end everyone in this room, and you know I have the means to do it, all-powerful, Johrir." I smiled because she had threatened my family, and I wanted to snap her neck, but not at the expense of my family; I turned to her around to face me, lifting her chin so that she looked into my eyes, and I planted a kiss on her soft lips as the crowd cheered. I mind-linked her, "I will never disobey you, My Queen," after the night wined down, I watched my son leave, and my heart hurt. King Ivar was introduced to Lady Gwen, and they seem to have hit it off; I wish them the best. His father was quite pleased with the choice, and I guessed it was up to the Elders now; I hoped this wasn't a setup by Vivianne.

I went to bed, and I saw Vivianne naked, and I knew what she wanted; she said, "Join me, lover boy," and although I hated being treated like a s*x slave, I enjoyed our lovemaking. I was burying my c**k deep in her p***y, hearing my wife's moans as she left scratches on my back; she had her legs open wide for me as I moved my waist in a circular motion between her legs, enjoying the intimacy that we shared. I suck on her breast while playing with the other one as she called my name, begging me to make her c*m, I wanted to make her c*m, and I wanted to c*m as well, so I kept going. I kissed her, biting her lip, tasting her blood, and drinking it, feeling my release approaching. Vivianne's toes curled, and I felt her body starting to shake; then she screamed as her orgasm ripped through her, and I pulled out, last minute cuming on her stomach, growling, "f**k," it was intense. She looked disappointed as I looked at her breathing heavily; I said, "I'm not ready," and she said, "It's been years, Johrir, I want a baby."

Elijah

I returned to the Palace after meeting on neutral ground for Count Craven's anniversary party; they were well-established elites, and I was skeptical about attending since I rarely leave the territory unless I need to. I reached back to my room and saw Jonx on the bed waiting for me; he smiled and walked over to me, saying, "You should have taken me with you," I planted a kiss on his lips and said, "I wasn't ready for the gossip." Jonx sniffed me, asking, "Who is the b***h?" I rolled my eyes, saying, "It was harmless, he was jealous a lot lately, and I didn't mind, but he was clinging to me a lot more over the years, and it can be annoying. I pulled him in for a kiss, but he slapped me, saying, "Who is she?" I looked at him and grabbed his throat, pushing him back to the wall and saying, "Don't you ever slap me again," I saw his tears roll down his cheek; he was hurt about the woman I was with. I soften up the hold I had around his neck, and he kisses me; I feel his hand around my c**k, saying, "I love you, Elijah, you are mine," feeling him slowly jerk my c**k.

I looked him in the eyes, wiping his tears as he was getting me harder with each stroke; I slowly backed away, holding his hand and leading him to my bed. I lay him down, taking my clothes off and kissing his chest, leaving little bite marks and hickeys on his n*****s and stomach; he was hard as I wrapped my mouth around his c**k, returning the favor that he had always done to me. I love his little moans, he never could help himself once he gets his fill of c**k, I had him on his belly as I was thrusting in his ass more kissing his back as he reached back, biting his lip and grabbing my hair, sliding his leg forward at the side of him, his open leg giving me more room to thrust deeper. I could smell the strong scent of s*x in the room; his masculine scent drove me crazy with lust. I was in love with this man, Jonx; I was ready to mate him, and I will ask him at a later date to be my consort.

I woke up the next day after a long night of lovemaking; I was in love and finally admitting it to myself, and I felt better, and I was going to tell my mother. I felt a hand around my c**k again, taking me out of my thoughts to see Jonx smile at me, and I knew it was time for another round of lovemaking. I looked at him after our climax, seeing my handprint around his neck from last night, and I apologized for hurting him. He kissed me saying, "All forgiven," he got up to take a shower, and I ended up joining him, and we stayed in bed most of the day. I was summoned to a brief meeting, and I left Jonx in my room reading a book; he loves reading, and I loved that about him. He has told me he wants to open up an orphanage, and I smile at the way his face lit up when he talks about kids.

Malvor was one of my Elders and informed Kolie and me about a little village being attacked by wolves, and I was confused as to why wolves would be attacking villages in my territory. The Rogue King, Jacob, was becoming a pain in my ass, not just the wolves. I mind-linked Jonx that I wouldn't be back for two days, and although disappointed, he understood; I headed out with Kolie, and Piot, our third in command, was ensuring everything ran smoothly in our absence. I told Kolie, as we rode horseback to the village, that I was planning to mate with Jonx, and he was happy for me, but he wanted to make sure I was sure about this. I smile, telling him, "I'm very sure." He was happy because now he said that he would get to sleep with more women, and I laughed as we reached the bridge leading into the village.

Our men were already here, and the townfolk lost many men defending their land; the rogues attacked during the day when most vampires sleep, not many vampires are daywalkers, and that was the advantage they had on us. My men usually protect those who are asleep during the day, and we have bunkers that were underground for the homeless. My army and guards and their families are all day walkers; those who are of the hierarchy are day walkers, and when you mate, it passes on. Anyone else will earn daylight rings, but that is limited for now until we get things settled as time changes and moves on, technology grows, and we need to grow with it. I walked through the town, and the mess made was unforgivable; I decided we would need to come up with a plan to stop the Rogue King. I turned to head back to the small motel, and inside the bar, I saw a little maiden who looked at me and smiled; there was something about her, but I headed to my room to rest for the night.
