Chapter Ten

While Crystal was in the shower Quinten made a phone call to Marissa, a woman that he had met seventy-five years ago. When Marissa answered Quinten quickly filled her in on what was happening and asked if she would be willing to help. Marissa agreed to help and told Quinten that she would be in touch when she had gathered some information.

After speaking with Quinten Marissa changed into dark skinny jeans, black leather high-heeled boots, and a black leather jacket. Marissa had the ability to locate any vampire if she had their full name. Marissa could also not be affected by anyone else's abilities which was one of the reasons she could infiltrate into Zander’s ranks. Marissa was one of the few vampires that could see in color and feel their emotions before she met her soulmate. Marissa was able to locate Zander in the Appalachian Mountains. Marissa quickly packed a suitcase, purchased a plane ticket, and set off for the closest major city that was near where Zander was located. While Marissa was waiting on her plane to board, she did some research on the town she was going to visit. Marissa found a vampire owned bar that might lead to a meeting with Zander. Marissa also found a decent hotel and booked a room there.

Marissa arrived in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee she hoped into a shuttle van to her hotel. After feeding, unpacking, and getting a lay of the town Marissa went to the bar that she had found online. Based on Quinten’s description Marissa was able to recognize Zander when he walked into the bar but, Zander had a woman with him which was unexpected. Zander and the woman took seats next to Marissa at the bar. Marissa turned to the woman and said, “I am so sorry to bother you but, I am new to town, and I was wondering if you of an apartment complex that is safe and decently priced.”

Zander turned and answered for the woman, “No, we do not know of an apartment complex as we do not come into town often. But I might be able to help you with a place to stay.”

“Do you own property nearby?”

“In a manner of speaking. I have a facility up in the mountains that has rooms in it.”

“That sounds like my kind of place. My name is Marissa.”

“Zander and Stephanie.” Zander pointed to the woman sitting next to him. Zander asked after a moment, “What has brought you to Pigeon Forge?”

“I am not sure if I am quite ready to tell you that Zander but, I would be interested in you showing me your facility.”

“Fair enough. Are you staying at a hotel Marissa?”

“I am staying at the Best Western Plaza Inn.”

“Why don’t we meet there tomorrow afternoon?”

“That works for me. Can I buy the two of you a drink?”

“That is very generous of you Marissa.”

“It is the least I can do since, you are hopefully going to allow me to stay at this facility that you own.”

“Let’s just see how tomorrow goes shall we?”

“Fair enough Zander.” Marissa said as she ordered drinks for herself, Stephanie, and Zander. Marissa watched Stephanie closely throughout the evening and she was told not to speak to anyone besides Zander. Even though Marissa knew what was going on it was odd to see a man being so domineering especially with their soulmate. Marissa realized that she was being followed on her way back to her hotel. Marissa was sure that Zander was tracking her. Once Marissa was back in her room, she replaced the information that was out in the world about her with false information. Marissa made it clear to anyone that read the latest information would know that she did not like the laws or the ruling family of the vampire world. Marissa spent several hours creating an online journal with entries of what she wanted the world to be and how it should be run. Marissa also contacted Quinten with a burner phone to give him an update.

Quinten brought Crystal back to his dorm room and told everyone about Marissa and her abilities. Quinten also informed them that Marissa had seen Stephanie but, it looked like she was still under Zander compulsion. Marissa also mentioned that Zander had a compound in the Appalachian Mountains, and she was going to see it tomorrow. Crystal said, “Thank you for contacting Marissa my prince she seems to be the perfect person to infiltrate Zander’s ranks.”

“I just hope that we can make more headway having someone on the inside. Now, do you feel up to training?”

“I will do whatever it takes to get Stephanie back.”

“All right then let us get started. My father has already contacted the school and we have a room that is exclusively for our use.” Quinten’s father even had his best and most trusted general come to Darkmyth University so, that he could train us. Nicholas clearly wanted all of them to be prepared for anything that could happen. Once Brody, Lucas, Michael, Crystal, and Quinten were inside of the room General Montague introduced himself to everyone and started by having everyone stretch.

After several hours of exercise and practice using their abilities, General Montague released everyone. Crystal looked exhausted but, happy that she had made it through the regiment. After showering, changing clothes, and eating something Crystal said, “My prince, I need you to be honest with me, all right?” Quinten nodded so, Crystal asked, “Would it be easier to defeat Zander if we completed the s****l part of the mating process?”

Quinten said, “There is no way for me to give you a straight yes or no to that question because I do not know all the abilities of the people that are following Zander. What I can tell you is that we,” Quinten said motioning between himself and Crystal, “would be stronger if we completed the s****l part of the mating process. Understand my angel that the more vampires you meet, the more powers you will store.”

“I want to understand what is needed to defeat Zander my prince not just rescue Stephanie. I know that there is still a lot of information that we do not have but, if completing the mating process will help then I am willing to complete it.”

Quinten took a deep breath and said, “I do not want you to feel as if you are being pressured into something that you are not ready for.”

Crystal looked Quinten in the eyes and said, “The first time I had no control over what happened to me and even when I said no, I was forced to perform s****l acts with someone I did not want to. I have a choice now and I know that we were destined to be together. I am in love with you Quinten and that is all that I need to give myself to you freely.”

Quinten said, “I love you too Crystal. Are you sure that you want to complete the mating process?” Crystal nodded in confirmation. Quinten picked Crystal up wedding style and kissed me softly while walking to Crystal’s bedroom. Quinten pulled away from Crystal to slowly take his shirt off and say, “If you want to stop at any point in time, please tell me. I need you to promise that you will tell me stop my angel.”

“I promise that I will tell you to stop my prince.” Crystal said taking off her own top. Quinten’s eyes darkened as he looked from Crystal’s face over her cleavage and down to her toned stomach. Quinten kissed Crystal again on her lips while running his without trouble Crystal’s arms and then ran his hands up from where Crystal’s pajama shorts started until he reached the edge of her bra. Crystal squirmed, laughed a bit, and then moaned in pleasure. Every time Quinten’s hand touched an exposed area it sent shock waves through Crystal’s body.

Quinten watched as Crystal tentatively touched his solar plexus and then explore his chest and stomach with her hands. Quinten did not have a single hair on his chest and Crystal sat there looking at it for a moment before becoming bold and pulling Quinten down toward her. Crystal took Quinten’s head and turned it so she could nibble gently on his earlobe then, she moved her nibbling down his neck all the way to the junction between his neck and his shoulder. Quinten growled in satisfaction at Crystal’s actions. Quinten took the opportunity while Crystal was distracted to take the rest of his clothing off and it felt amazing to release his erect member from his boxers. Once Quinten had completed his task, he turned to slowly start removing Crystal’s pajama bottoms. Crystal was purring as Quinten’s hands ran down her hips and legs but, she felt a bit shy suddenly being mostly naked in front of Quinten. Quinten said softly, “You are beautiful my angle there is no reason for you to be shy.” Crystal nodded letting Quinten know that she had heard him. “Are you okay to keep going my angel?”

Again, Crystal nodded. Quinten brought his head down so, that he could kiss down Crystal’s neck until he reached the junction between her neck and her shoulder and then Quinten started moving his tongue over the area while sucking leaving a hickey. Crystal moaned in pleasure and involuntarily raised her pelvis towards Quinten’s pelvis. Crystal felt Quinten’s long hard member against her the outside fabric of her underwear but, enjoyed the sensation of Quinten’s member rubbing against her privates. Quinten moaned against Crystal’s skin as he slowly undid her bra and removed it. Once Crystal’s breasts where free Quinten took the left one in his hand while he slowly kissed down Crystal’s chest until his mouth was over her right breast. While Quinten situated himself, he took his right hand and slowly ran it up Crystal’s right thigh and then over the fabric of her underwear. Crystal wanted more from Quinten, so she trusted her pelvis against his hand indicating that it was okay for him to continue. Trying not to rush things Quinten gently removed Crystal’s underwear with his right hand, returned it to her v****a, and rubbed against her c******s. Crystal moaned as Quinten rubbed her and kissed her intimately. Crystal could feel a pressure building up inside of her that needed to be released. Crystal thrusted her hips while Quinten’s hand was rubbing against her c******s causing his finger to enter her which caused Crystal to moan and say, “Oh Quinten.”

Quinten smirked at Crystal’s response and continued to pump his finger in and out of her inner sanctum. After a few minutes Quinten added as second finger, switched his mouth to Crystal’s other breast, and began pumping faster. Crystal balled her fists in the sheets as she felt the pressure that had built up inside release and she moaned, “Yes, Quinten keep going.”

After a few more pumps Quinten positioned his member in front of Crystal inner sanctum entrance and while kissing Crystal passionately on the lips Quinten slowly thrust his member inside her inner sanctum. Crystal moaned into Quinten’s mouth and scoured her fingernails down his back. Once Quinten’s member was all the way inside of Crystal’s inner sanctum he paused for a moment, pulling away from the kiss and said looking at Crystal, “We will need to mark one another by biting each other at the junction between our neck and shoulder.”

Crystal investigated Quinten’s passion filled gaze and said, “Understood my prince.” Quinten began thrusting slowly in and out of Crystal’s inner sanctum. Crystal began to move with Quinten and the sensation of him being inside her became even more amazing.

Quinten thrusts became faster and more intense as he began to feel Crystal about to c*m again. As they were about to reach their climax Quinten elongated his vampire fangs and positioned his mouth over Crystal’s right hand side junction between her neck and shoulder. Crystal followed suite positioning her mouth over Quinten’s left hand side junction between his neck and shoulder. As their worlds both exploded into thousands of stars, they bit the other on the neck continuing their orgasms for a few more moments.

As they both released their holds on the other persons neck Quinten pulled out of Crystal and lay next to her with a protective arm around her waist. Once Quinten regained his equilibrium, he pushed some of the strands of hair that stuck to Crystal’s cheek away and asked, “How are you feeling princess?”

Crystal smiled, turned to look at Quinten, and said, “I feel like I am finally whole again. The void that my sire created has been filled and fixed. I love you, my prince.”

“As I love you princess.” Quinten could feel the bond between him, and Crystal become solid and whole. Quinten had no idea that he had been missing something within himself until Crystal came into his life. As Quinten looked at Crystal he smiled and said, “You do realize that you are the now the princess of the vampire world, do you not?

Crystal just started laughing and said, “No, I did not realize that completing our mating process would make me a princess but, it is nice to know that I am one now.”

“Would you like to take a shower before we sleep my angel?”

“That sounds amazing actually.” Quinten picked Crystal up, carried her into her bathroom, turned on the hot water, and when the water was hot, he carried her into the shower with him. Crystal said, “I could get used to this.”

Quinten chuckled a little and said, “Well, I plan on courting you still my angel so, get used to being pampered because there is more to come.”

“Bring it on my prince. I look forward to seeing what tricks you have up proverbial sleeve.” Crystal said as she turned to grab her shampoo. Quinten placed his hands on Crystal’s hips, causing her not to be able to turn around, as he inspected the tattoo that was under the mark that he had placed on Crystal’s neck. “Is something wrong my love?”

Quinten squeezed Crystal’s hips at her use of a new endearment and said, “No, nothing is wrong princess but, there is a tattoo right under where I marked you.”

“Well, there was not a tattoo there before we made love. What does it look like?”

“It is a crest with a fleur de lis in the middle of the crest with wings surrounding the fleur de lis and angel wings surround the crest and there is a crown on top of the crest. Do I have a tattoo as well?”

Crystal quickly rinsed out the shampoo in her hair and had Quinten turn around so that she could inspect his back. Once Crystal spotted the tattoo she said, “Yes, you have the same tattoo that you just described to me. It is right under the mark I gave you as well. What does this mean?”

“I do not have the faintest idea but, my father will be able to tell us. Let us finish in here and then we will figure it out together.”

“Deal.” Crystal said grabbing the conditioner and putting it in her hair. After Crystal grabbed her luffa and put some soap on it, she switched places with Quinten. Crystal smiled a bit connivingly to herself as she decided to tease Quinten in the shower. While Quinten was rinsing out the shampoo in his hair with his eyes closed Crystal placed her hand around Quinten’s shaft and began to pump it with her hand. Quinten’s member grew hard immediately which made Crystal smile more. Once Quinten was done rinsing his hair out, he looked at Crystal who was watching his member as she stroked it.

“Princess if you’re not careful we will have a problem.”

“And what kind of problem would that be my prince?” Crystal asked with an innocent smile on her face but did not stop her actions.

“One that is going to have us calling my father at midnight.” Quinten said gruffly as he growled in satisfaction.

“Oh well, if you want me to stop my love you are going to have to say so.” Crystal said as she started pumping Quinten’s member faster. Quinten could not take it anymore, he grabbed Crystal gently by the waist, moved her to the wall to his right making sure that they were both still under the hot water, lifted her up the wall some and entered her inner sanctum quickly. Crystal dug her nails into Quinten’s shoulders as he moved in and out of her inner sanctum. After they finished their activities, washed their bodies, they went back into Crystal’s room to put on some clothes and before Quinten put on a clean t-shirt and had Crystal take a photo of the tattoo that was now on his back under where she had marked him with his iPhone 13. He opened the private text message between him and his father and sent his father the photo.

Quinten received a message from Nicholas just a few minutes after he sent the text message. The message read: Congratulations on completing the mating process my son. That is the mark of a royal though we have not had a couple who have carried a mark that clear before. You and Crystal will be the power couple that people speak about for centuries. Quinten smiled and showed Crystal the message.

After reading the message Crystal smiled and said, “Well that explains a lot. Your father has recognized me as a royal so, I suppose that means its official.”

“That it does princess. Now, it is time to rest and prepare as best as we can to rescue Stephanie. Crystal smiled, grabbed Quinten’s hand, and brought him into her room. Crystal and Quinten slept in each other's arms peacefully and went about the rest of the week training and trying to make plans to rescue Stephanie. That was a bit pointless however because they needed more information about where Stephanie was located before, they could truly plan anything.
