Chapter 68: Riley isn’t invited but she is
"He did what?" Vlad’s eyes flashed a glowing red instantly, and he started fuming "My piece of shit son did what?"
"You’re telling me my piece of shit son drugged my future daughter in law." Vlad snapped, the disrespect he’d shown earlier and now this. Oh, his son was going to be lucky if he let him keep his fangs.
Storming out of the room Vlad rushes straight for Riley’s room and Hyde follows.
Everyone else completely oblivious to the battle that was about to unfold.
Gabriel was dealing with the party set up, everything was running on schedule despite the fiasco that has been the last two days. The wine, champagne, and other alcoholic/nonalcoholic beverages. Catering. Out back is decorated with streamers and extra lighting making the ambiance perfect while keeping the area well let. There’s dance floors set up outside and a stage with a DJ booth. The brothers spared no effort or expense in arranging this party. Gabriel had brought on extra staff, both human and supernatural beings. Gabriel was sure to brief the others on keeping their race hidden to not freak out the humans that will be attending. Everything was going perfectly.
Violet was with Viktoria in her room cuddled up napping together. After everything that went down between them it would amaze anyone how Violet was able to make Viktoria feel safe enough to sleep in the same bed. Viktoria had no idea how much she needed this girl friend thing, but she does now. Violet in one day has made herself a top priority in Viktoria’s book.
Violet would bring peace and light to people and places that have long spent to much time in the dark. Violet understood now, why her cousins were so protective over Violet: it wasn’t just the sex and blood, it was the light she brought that chased away their haunting shadows. Viktoria knew for some reason she would be safe, Violet would protect her, and she would die for Violet.
Everything that was peaceful was about to be turned upside down. Hell was about to break loose.
Bursting through the back doors he badges up to Riley’s room. Everyone present stopped dead in their tracks, a mix of fear, confusion, curiosity and excitement was felt through the room. The doors slamming and the sounds of stomping footsteps jerked Violet and Viktoria awake.
Viktoria sensing a shift in the power in the house, now get threatened and needed to protect Violet. Viktoria quickly moves in front of Violet on the bed fangs stretched claws extended she gets into a launching position ready to use her body as a shield and sword for Violet.
It’s weird this new sense of need when it came to Violet. Viktoria liked girls but not to this extent. Was it her blood still having a lasting effect? Or was it really her stirring affection for Violet.
