As the king and queen and their court continued toward their destination, Ryden, Gabriel, and I made good time getting home.
We arrived at the castle swiftly and parted ways. Ryden said she needed to get cleaned up. I wanted to do that, as well. It was too long since I bathed. Gabriel went to report to Sharra that I was found, and all was well.
When I entered my room, two male humans greeted me. Neither wore clothing on their top halves, and their trousers hung low on their hips.
My mouth watered.
"Well-kept humans," I muttered, taking my fill of one and then the other.
No doubt, they were a gift from my sister, and I didn't want to hurt her feelings.
I'd be doing more than that soon enough when I proved to her once and for all I was and would always remain ruler of the vampires
