The Alpha Vampire

It has been over an hour that Lilith excused herself to her room; it is unlike her to even step away from a party. I guess she is still shaken from the incident with the boy, which is entirely understandable; she grew very close to him in only but a few days. I could see the pain that was hiding behind those deep blue eyes. She always wanted to be a mother; in fact, she would have been if it was not for that wolf that attacked her and took the life of her baby. I am yet to forgive myself for not being able to save him, which I can safely say will not happen. As a Vampire, we should not feel remorse, especially for lives that are being taken, and neither shall we take the life of a child. Thus it is why it infuriates me that a mut could have done such a thing. Unfortunately, until this day, I have not caught the disgusting beast.

So I shall give her the space that she needs. Her longing to have the boy shall remain for some time to come. But as I say this, I do hope she realizes that this is not resolved; there shall be no way that I allow Lucius to get away with taking one of my kind. I shall get the boy back, no matter what it takes. If I need to kill the King of the Underworld, then so be it. He does not enter my home, threaten my family, and then take the boy away from his mother.

I shall give Lilith the time to be at peace tonight, but tomorrow we shall plan how we will get the boy back. And that, unfortunately, leaves me to entertain a whole bunch of Vampires, who I am afraid I can not even remember half of their names. So I make my way deep into the crowd with my beloved by my side and do the thing I hate the most, as they call it, making small talk. Well, I can officially say by the third Vampire couple that I am completely failing at it, which makes their departure the most welcome event of the evening. I do hope that these shall become less frequent once we have the boy back, as Lilith can shift her focus elsewhere instead.

But her absence does have one Vampire deeply worried, for Victor has now come to express his concern about Lilith.

“Lucas, I am afraid that Lilith has been gone for far too long.”

“My dear Victor, I think we need to give her the space that she needs.”

“It troubles me that she did not mention a thing, the Lilith that I know would have made her anger known. The thing is, she never once expressed that she is broken by not having the boy present. It is not so much what she said that concerned me but what she did not say instead. I beg, please could you send for Cassidy to check on her.”

“If it shall put you at ease, Cassidy, she does this at once.”

With that, I send Cassidy upstairs to check on Lilith

…Cassidy…

My heart does bleed for Lilith; the poor woman had her heart set on being a mother to young Stefan. The bond she created was, and I even dare to say, it is far stronger than Lucas and me. Lucas has told me about the very unfortunate incident with her own child. I can’t even begin to imagine how important this must have been for her.

Then for someone as that ungodly Lucius to come into our home and taking one of our own. Can the man not see that if it was not for Lilith turning Stefan, that he would have perished. And as I understand it, the Underworld is not one of the best placed to live, and even far worse, a place for a child to be. I do hope that in all my Vampire years, I would not have to see it.

So as I approach her room, I softly knock on the door waiting for her to answer, but there is only silence. I wait for a few seconds, then I knock again, but yet there is no answer. So I announce myself.

“Lilith, may I enter?”

But as I get no reply, I enter the room only to find it empty. As I scan the room, all I can see that appears out of place is an open window.

I immediately rush downstairs to make Lucas aware of my discovery.

“Lucas, she is not in her room.”

“Have you checked elsewhere in the house?”

“No, but her window is open.”

“Oh, god.”

…Victor POV…

I know exactly what an open window means. In the early years of Lilith’s Vampire years, she used to sneak away from her room often to meet up with me at the local park. She did stop this after a while once she made our relationship known to Lucas. Now has she done this once again?

But it not is not so much the fact that he has slipped away again, for I know she is not seeing another man; what does frighten me is where I think she might have gone. And even worse if she is already there. I do hope she sees that Lucius cannot be trusted; not a single word that leaves his mouth is the truth. It is, after all, his nature to deceive and lie to get what he needs.

So absolutely shaken to horror, I turn to Lucas.

“Lucas, you do know what this means?”

“I am afraid so Victor, she has snuck outside, and I somehow don’t expect it to be with another.”

“Does she know where to find the entrance?”

“I am afraid that she does.”

“And we have no idea how far she has gotten, but taken that she has been gone for an hour, I think we can all agree that she is already in the belly of the beast.”

And the mere thought of that sends a chill down my spine; I have always said that I shall do anything for Lilith, and I think that the time has now come. If it means that I shall need to kill the King of the Underworld, then so be it.

Without even further hesitating, I turn to both Damien and Lucas.

“I am going after her. Are you with me?”

…Lilith POV…

If I thought I could get to Stefan without this monster knowing, then I would have been sadly mistaken. I am aware that I will not be leaving here, not now and most certainly forever. I want to be a mother to the boy, which shall, unfortunately, be the only place that I can be. So I have come to my resolve that this is where I shall spend the rest of my years, which means an eternity in the pit of hell.

So as Lucius stares down on me, for a brief moment, I think that I have just made a grave mistake, but as I see Stefan sitting in the distance happily playing with some of the toys that Damien bought him, I am convinced that I have made the right choice. But that does not change the fact that Lucius is scaring me beyond the terror of seven horrors. Though it becomes quite clear very quickly that he sees my presence as an opportunity for his own sadistic needs.

And with that thought lingering in the back of my head, he steps one step closer and slowly drives my body back into the wall that has so conveniently presented itself. I can feel the heat radiate from his body, but it is not the heat of the pit; he has a deep desire that I can feel slowly building up inside him.

Then he runs his hands softly over my shoulder, twisting his fingers in the straps of my dress. There is a deep growl rising from his chest. Then he moves further down over the curves of my body, where they come to a rest around the small of my back. He pushes his groin deep into me; I feel my body tremble as his semi-erect length press into my thighs.

Then he runs the edges of his lips softly against her cheek. I softly whimper his name. He runs his warm, hot breath slowly over my soft cheek to my deep red velvety lips. His lips are but an inch away from touching mine.

“You are mine now, Lilith.”

He moves but a breath closer until we touch.

Lucius’ intention is clear, I shall not only be a mother to the boy, but I shall be here to satisfy his every need.

…Lucas POV…

I wish that Lilith had come and spoken to me; she would have known that I won’t let Lucius get away with the boy. Now she has gone off and try to get him by herself, but that is not what I fear; I do think that she might be offering herself to be with the boy. And as I know Lucius, he shall get what he desires, in any way he wants.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Now we can not just walk in there and demand both of them back. Should we even consider this, we shall only be taken down in an instant. I am afraid that four Vampires shall not be able to overpower what I could safely say could be more than over a dozen of his. But I should now consider my options very carefully for my next decision shall determine if we start a war again.

So I look over to Damien and Victor.

“This is my suggestion; now, please, I beg, let me know if I am being drastic and hasty.”

They both only nod while Cassidy raises her brow slightly; well, I myself do not even believe what I shall say.

“Regroup the Vampire army; it is the only chance we have to take them on.”

The room, as expected, goes even more dead quiet than before. Well, this was the reaction I was expecting, but the question begs, do I even care for what their answer would be? I need to act, and I need to act soon; I fear for what this monster would do to my sweet Lilith. There are some horrors you never return from, and this is one of them. No matter how charming the Kind of the Underworld can be, you do not wish to find yourself in his bed.

So I wait for a few moments longer, and after several minutes in silence, finally, speak again.

“Your silence makes me believe that you are not in agreement with my suggestion. But let me pose you with this problem, not one of us four shall make it out there alive. With the army, we have a far better chance, yes we might lose some brothers and sisters, but we live by a code where we shall always protect each other. Now Lilith and the boy are in danger; we need to get them from there before that demon touches her skin.”

The mere thought of the image awakens a beast inside of Victor.

“I will call for their gathering immediately.”

But with that, he goes silent, for he knows what needs to come next.

“Lucas, you shall need to lead them because…”

“Yes, my dear Victor, I am aware the leader is the one that needs to be saved.”
