“Some had pale skin with dark tattoos. Others had darker skin with luminescent body markings. White eyes beamed toward us, empty, emotionless. Most of them had slightly pointed ears. They were taller and bigger than most people I knew. Some glided, others walked, and all wore long black robes.”

That’s kind of cool. Ana tried to visualize those chained, and the tall silhouettes gliding inside the cave. It made her shiver.

“They inspected everyone in the room and separated us into groups. We were the lucky ones, they said, chosen to rule the Earth.” Jonas ran his hand over the lower half of his face. “They spoke our language with ease.” He leaned against the backrest of his chair again, as if he wasn’t used to sitting, or he was uncomfortable. “It seemed the ones with darker skin and luminescent tattoos were higher ranked. One of them signaled, and more came in.” He glanced at Ana. “On some floating carts, motionless human bodies were piled up, and we each got one dropped at our feet—”

“Where they dead?” Ana interrupted.

Jonas shook his head. “No. They showed us how to feed. That was the first time I drank human blood.”

He stopped again. Ghosts seemed to be haunting his eyes, as if trying to escape.

Ana gathered her legs, curling them under her frame. She had dismissed the earlier lesson from Mara in regard to the posture.

“Who were they?” Ana slightly leaned forward, devouring every word.

Jonas stared at her like her words woke him from a trance.

“They told us they were from Vamphora. Called themselves Vamphorians and named us vampires.”

“Wait. Are you saying they were aliens?” Ana couldn’t believe her own words.

“Yes.” Jonas nodded in agreement. “They were searching for a new home. Theirs was on the brink of extinction.”

Bloodline Destinies

Bloodline Book 2

In the year 2516 humans share Earth with elusive vampires and GeMs—a new species of blood-drinkers who appeared after the Flood.

Months before his five-hundredth birthday, Theodor De Croix, Prince of The Old Coven, crosses paths with Vivienne. Torn between proving himself worthy of his bloodline and centuries-old beliefs about true love, he saves her life but rejects the idea that she might be sent to him by fate itself.

Vivienne is a human scientist turned GeM in an accident. Body and mind forever altered, she struggles every day to adapt to her new life. Attracted to the man who saved her, but fearing his kind, she finds herself in more danger than ever.

Caught up in a whirlwind of dreams and evil plots, both must confront their own demons in order to save each other, testing the powers of fate and love.

For the first time that night, Theodor deliberately investigated her mind. All of a sudden, the human he thought weak, spineless, and afraid of everything, demanded an answer.

With his curiosity piqued, his right eyebrow arched. She still thought he was a GeM, like her, even if he denied it more than just once.

Theodor took a few steps in silence, and decided it was time for her first real test. Let’s see how she’s going to react.

He stopped a couple of feet away from her. His gaze cut through her like a laser. “I am Theodor De Croix, Prince of the Old Coven.” His chin jotted up. “And I’m a vampire.”

Vivienne took a step back. Her eyes opened wide with a mix of fear and doubt.

“Vampire . . . A monster . . .” she whispered in visible disbelief. “Are you going to kill me?”

“Of course not. Why would I do that?”

Theodor followed all her thoughts. As much as he detested invading anyone’s mind, this time he needed to know.

“Is it not what vampires do? I never believed they even existed.”

“It isn’t what we do. We have, in fact, watched over humans for centuries.” Theodor took a step closer to her. “In the old

times, yes, my kind used to feed on human blood, but not anymore.” His voice softened. “You’re safe. I won’t hurt you.”

She continued to retreat. Her fear hit him in waves.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t believe you.”

She panicked. Her pupils dilated, her pulse accelerated, and her heartbeat became erratic. The attempt to put some distance between them failed.

Theodor hissed, displaying his long, white fangs.

Vivienne whirled on her heels. Her hair danced around her shoulders, and a few strands covered part of her face.

Theodor cut off her way to the exit. His hands grabbed her shoulders. Damn, she needs to eat more.

“Viv, I will not hurt you. I would—”

“You’re a blood-sucking monster,” she yelled with tears running down her face, trying to free herself from his firm hold.

Her words shouldn’t have surprised or hurt him. Humans called vampires all sorts of names. He knew since the day he found out what he was how much humans feared and hated his kind. So, why did her words hurt? Why did they feel like a slap to his face?

“Funny, coming from a GeM.”

His confrontation didn’t stop her. She continued to squirm in his hands, trying to break free. He wasn’t going to let her go.

“Look at me.” Theodor’s demand froze her in place, and she stared at him.

He drove deeper into her mind. For the first time, she noticed his dark blue eyes, and for a fraction of a second, to his satisfaction, she thought they were beautiful.

“Please, let me go.”

He couldn’t allow her to return to where she escaped from, or on the streets. I didn’t save her life to send her back to her death.

Theodor needed more time and used his magnetism on her. She fell unconscious in his arms without another sound.

“You failed, Viv.” He was the sole witness to his own words.
