Prologue:
The only son of Krait, third leader, sat before the Vampire Council, staring, in a numbly calm state, at the leaders that stood, cloaked and hardly visible from behind the portal that separated the fourth realm.
Only two of the five Ian had heard of were present: Nicholas, blooded young of Aeluis, and Lucius, blooded son Caiside. The area where his sire once sat was empty. The sight left himā¦numb. Later, the reality would consume him, but for the time, he was floating in an emotionless abyss. It was sick. It was freeing.
It was Ianās first time standing beneath the malesā easy glowers. In his young mind, he couldnāt recall a time where he was close enough to be noticed, close enough to encounter the reactions the males inflicted in all. Awe-worth they were, standing tall, proud, and prevailing. All the things Ian was not.
āStand all.ā The voice was low, but just as forceful as itād be from a shout. All Vampires obeyed instantly, staring with the same cold, empty eyes. Ian jerked to a stance seconds to late, light-headed as he tried to breathe evenly, but it was hard, the mass of judgment was contracting around his lungs.
The voice rang on. āOn this day, we stand to decide the fate of our lost. Krait Payneās blooded young, Ian Derik Payne, third leader in line.ā Ianās eyes, which had dropped to his wringing hands, rose to eye the Council doubtfully.
Surely they were not actually considering himā¦? He was nobody, being the spawn of a powered Blood Bonds meant nothing.
He meant naught a thing. And he never had.
Around him, transitioned classes of the ramai grunted their disapproval, not that Ian actually heeded. Except he inwardly winced, faced with the reality that he did careā¦Of course he cared if he destroyed his fatherās reputation. The only good of the male.
But that was Ianās mindset. Ianās demons. It was his bearings and like his father had taught him to do, he straightened and met the stares of the Council, but this time, blindly. Let them speak now.
To his astonishment, some looked away from his āwhat he hoped to be cold āgaze, though other stared with earned arrogance. But this time, he reminded himself, he was his fatherās son, he didnāt have to care about them.
āAll in favor of a challenge, voice now with an āIā,ā the voice he now recognized as leader Lucius gave nothing away. Ian felt a hollow grin stretch his lips, aiming to convince the he no longer cared.
He was not in favor of a challenge for the right to keep his legal position. That and he knew heād be slaughtered easily. That was simply how it worked in his world. Survival of the fittest. And Ian, being five foot six, and deathly skinny, was not the least bit fit. Untransitioned males were always the weakest. Especially him ā nearing twenty and still without a transition.
Some leader heād prove.
The hall remained silent though, easing his tension, but just some. It went to the deepest pit of Fifth Realm rather quickly though.
āSince all transitioned males are unwilling, I shall challenge,ā came the cool voice of leader Nicholas. Ian wasnāt exactly frightened to say, more soā¦ prepared. Heād managed to keep alive within in fatherās grips and nothing could defy that.
Though, his father had aimed more for torment, rather than a kill. Yet as the leaderās blue gaze caught Ianās green one, something close to suspicion flared in their depths and he swallowed tightly, feeling thrown off.
āChallenge accepted.ā
Chapter One:
Thirty-Six Years Later:
Beth eyed her older brother, Tallis, skeptically as she leant on the steel door of her bedroom. A six foot transitioned male, Tallis didnāt act his age, or for the matter, his size.
āI left my girl back hoooommeee! I donāt love āer no mooooree!ā His booming voice echoed through the halls of the large manor as he attempted to sing a song she couldnāt even recognize. Beth smiled despite herself, knowing he had no idea how loud he was being, the headphones in his ears preventing him from hearing anything beyond the beat.
Lucky for him, he sounded like a dying cat.
Tallis looked nothing like her. With a muscular build and a strong face, he was the opposite of Bethās shorter five foot nine, curvy frame. While his hair was cut in a skull trim, the blonde of it hidden by its short length, Beth had somehow come out with thicker, black hair that hung to the small of her back. Though there was one thing she could say that marked him as her brother, the pale blue of their eyes, a trait theyād both gotten from their father.
Completely oblivious to her, Tallis started towards the entrance hall, but Beth was bored and, well she liked to mess with him. She ran up behind him, jumping onto his back and covering his eyes with his hands. She could tell he knew it was her by the wide smile on his face as his hands locked around her ankles, and he started spinning. Round and round they went with enough speed that everything was a blur to her as she gave a laugh, light-headed already.
āStop! Stop!ā she managed to gasp, though he shook his head, obviously having too much fun. So they were playing that game huh?
Unhooking one hand from his face, she dug her nails into his neck, making him hiss and try to jerk away. But there wasnāt anywhere to go and she was prepared for a full on attack as she grinned widely. Unexpectedly, he stopped, arms reaching behind to her sides, hurling her backwards with enough force that she hit the opposite wall. Fortunately for her head, she stopped herself, pushing her hands out for support, though unfortunately enough, her hands would be bruised.
The room wouldnāt stop spinning and she tried to glare at Tallisā moving form because he looked completely unfazed as he clutched his stomach in laughter on the carpeted floors.
āYou knowā he breathed between cackles. āIf father saw us like thisā¦ā Beth couldnāt help but laugh at the thought of their fatherās twitchy facial expressions every time he tried to be serious and failed so badly. It was one of the funniest things around, especially when she was locked away in a manor with nothing to do for nine hours of the day while all the āsuperiorā teenage males were out slutting around and having some actual fun.
The thought sobered her up enough that she could finally raise her head to catch her brotherās identical gaze.
Tallis was only two years older than her so theyād grown up closer than most civilian siblings. She adored his sense of humor and recklessness, which saved her from a lot of boredom as a child. They were usually in sync with each other, although they both had their fair share of secrets. Bethās admittedly more severe, but that was a risk she was willing to take.
āSo, I think we should sign you up for Americaās Got Talent or whatever,ā Beth smiled slightly, sitting up and scooting closer to her brother, who was still as stone. He glared, but the amusement in his eyes told her he wasnāt actually put off.
āHuh. Dad would get a kick outta that one.ā She snorted, rolling her eyes.
āMore like a heart attack.ā He grinned in that lopsided way that made her heart swell with pride, but then his eyebrows furrowed and great.
āShouldnāt you be at the training center?ā
āShould be, would be, but ām not.ā She bit her lip, dropping her eyes as she tried to suppress the shiver of fear that ran up her spine at the thought of just why she didnāt actually go to training much anymore. It was because of him. The third and coldest member of the Council, Lord Payne, or as the others liked to call him, Lord Ice.
Sheād never done well around males. And the leader was definitely male. The first day of training heād humiliated her in front of every female in the roomā¦After that, she couldnāt be around him for too long. Especially not two whole hours, that was just cruel and unbearable.
It was worse that
