Would she come back? What would I do if she did? The love of my life who left me when I did not want any such thing.
Memories of our time together washed over me, she was the perfect fit for me, the mate I bonded with in blood. We lived together in the dark, committing sins together, between our naked bodies and her heated breath.
Something gnawed at me, the saying ‘an eye for an eye.’
I knew Lilith, and I knew the kind of vengeance she would seek over someone who wronged her. She would want to even the score, she wouldn’t rest until her revenge was exacted. Which only meant that Melody would never be safe until I extinguished the monster that was Lilith.

LILITH
I would curse them all.
Domenico and Dante…the entire Delesepps family would feel my wrath in one way or another.
I would not let them swear themselves to me, only to betray me the moment my back was turned. There was no strength in that, there was no loyalty either.
They played God and took Annabel’s fate into their own hands. It was not right, it was not ‘Godlike.’
But then what did I know about God? I only knew I would never be repressed and controlled by someone who demanded my submission. Submission was not in my vocabulary; it was not something that naturally came to me.
Why did we need to prove our fealty by succumbing to someone else's rules?
Believe in me, or else.
I have whispered into the girl’s ear, each night. I’m still unsure if she believes that I was her inner voice or not, but I cannot show myself to her unless I was summoned.
Whatever the answer may be, I would only speak my truth, and that I would do through the line I had created. If I was not careful, then she too would be burned, and I would never let that mistake be repeated.
I would burn them all to the ground before I ever watched another day filled with flames of my blood and bone. Never again.
I watched the girl grow from lanky arms and legs to a beautiful, curvaceous young woman who could weaken any man or woman’s knees.
I knew exactly what lingered in these Welsh woods, and I knew that there were more monsters among us than only vampires. There was a collection of beasts that would defy any human man that dared try. And When I finally fell upon a Viking who was cast aside; I knew then, he would be her savior.
I could whisper into the ear of anyone I desired, control was one thing, and free will was another. It didn’t take much to rouse his lonely heart into a fever. A fever that would burn until he saw her.
It began with dreams, but then I turned into a desire that brought him straight to her.
Once I knew their fates were sealed, I was able to move on to the largest dragon that would need slaying.
The men in the black coats did this to her, and there was only one powerful man who could have been behind it.
Domenico.
I would not rest until I had his blood-bound, Melody, the one he always told me never to fret over. I would have her, by spell, by curses that would entwine her in a sleep that would keep her from him forever.
This would be simple, especially after all I had been through. I was stronger now, and I would face him with weapons of rage.
I just needed to find him first, which would be an easy feat.
He would be inside the walls of Castle Delessepps.

When I saw him again, it was much like a bolt of lightning through my chest. I do not believe it is love, no, it was more likebloodlust. Memories soak me, and I was nostalgic for the depravity we committed together. The blood, the sex, thepower.
I wanted to ravage him and kill him, all at the same time.
