and was pleasantly surprised to find that my once narrow hips were now more curvy and my boobs seemed to have gone up two cup sizes. Now that I thought about it my boobs did feel a bit squashed in my bra. My boobs weren’t even that small before the blood exchange. Now they seemed huge even to me, but not ridiculously so, I had to admit that they suited me though.

As I turned around to face the three vampires in my bedroom I caught Dimitri’s amused look. I could hear him chuckling in my head, at how pleased I was with my breasts.

I could only roll my eyes at him.

“why are we checking out Phoenix?” Quinn asked. “and what is it with you two and your long knowing looks?”

I looked at Dimitri to see what he was going to tell them would he tell them the truth or make something…..

“Phoenix is my new Enforcer.” Dimitri told the two vamps in a very serious voice that I had only ever heard him use in his memories when he was behaving as the king he was.

“but my lord! A female?” Ari asked in shock as he looked me up and down.

“wow Dimitri! At last! I have been waiting for you to find an Enforcer for years!” Quinn laughed. “finally I can have a break from tracking down the rogues. It looks likes its up to you now Phoenix.” Quinn told me with a wink.

I could only laugh at the little exchange between the three vampires. Quinn was definatly the most laid back and comfortable one out of him and Ari. The fact that Ari called Dimitri ’my lord’ made me want to curtsey, even though Dimitri wasn’t my king

“there will be no questioning me Ari. My word is law and you will abide by it.” Dimitri said in a bellowing voice laced with power. I saw Ari’s frame shrink back, as though he was a scared animal trying to get out of the line of a more dangerous animal. At the same time I felt Dimitri push power onto Ari.

“Right! Dimitri were you not going to help me pack up my things so I could move into your place tonight?” I said while starring daggers at him and sending ‘leave him alone’ thoughts his way.

I felt the power shimmer away and Ari collapsed onto my bed out of breath.

“this gets better and better.” Quinn said with a chuckle. He didn’t seem too worried about his friend. “you‘re coming to live with us.”

“us?” I asked slightly wary.

I read the answer in Dimitri’s head.

“hell no!” I said before Quinn could answer. “you live with ten other male vampires?”

I asked Dimitri.

He shrugged his shoulders. “yeah so?” he asked.

He read the answer in my head this time. And laughed, he actually laughed. I did not find it funny at all. I was right to be wary of moving in with eleven powerfully strong vampire’s, at least eight of whom were strangers to me.

“there is nothing for you to worry about Ashes.” he told me. “you are my Enforcer and therefore under the kings protection from any harm that comes in the form of anything other than rogue vampires. The rogues however will be your speciality.” Dimitri’s eyes sparkled mischievously suddenly as he looked at Quinn and Ari. “although, you can always take any of my men with you when you go hunting. In my absence you will have complete control over them.”

“you can have complete control over me any day you want poppet.” Quinn told me in a mock flirtatious voice.

“please don‘t call me poppet ever again, its kinda creepy.” I told him while scrunching up my nose.

Quinn laughed at my reaction. “what shall I call you then?” he asked.

“you can call me what all my friends and family call me, Nix or Nixy. You can choose which one.”

“Nixy it is then.” he told me straight away.

“right lets get to work.” Dimitri said, interrupting me and Quinn’s fun.

“what do you need us to do?” Ari asked, finally coming back into the conversation.

“you two brought the boxes didn‘t you?” Dimitri asked.

“yep, they are sitting out in the hallway.” Quinn told him.

“good, go and get them and then start filling them up with all the personal effects you see around the apartment. Me and Phoenix will focus on her bedroom.”

Once the two vamps had gone, me and Dimitri worked fast on my room. I packed all my clothes that I wanted to take with me into the suitcases I had brought from Ireland. I was just folding the last of my clothing into my bag when Quinn and Ari came back into my room.

“we have everything packed into the boxes and everything is in the van downstairs. Are you guys finished in here?” Quinn asked.

I looked around my now bare bedroom. “yeah we‘re finished.”

“allow me to take your bags to the van for you Nix.” Ari said as he came up behind me.

I smiled at him gratefully and handed him the last of my bags.

An hour later.

I looked around myself in amazement. Dimitri lived in a Mansion. It was almost a cross between a castle and a palace. Everywhere I looked there was beautiful art work and sculptors of greek gods and men and women eating feasts in roman togas, as I followed Dimitri down a long hallway I realised that all the art wok around me was created millenniums ago.

What you see around you is passed from king to king, the paintings and sculptures travel with the king to wherever he decides to live. Art has always been a love of mine and all of the kings of the past seemed to have felt the same way. Dimitri told me.

They are exquisite. I whispered in my head.

Here is your room, mine is right next door. If you ever need anything I will be here straight away. You just have to think my name. Okay?

Okay.

Quinn and Ari have left your belongings inside. In the wardrobe you will find clothes you can wear will we are training. Meet me out here in five minutes. For our fist session.

Sure.

I walked into my new room only to stop dead in my tracks. It was beautiful. There was a four poster bed in the middle of the room with white drapes falling to the white carpeted floor. There were two other sets of double doors other than the ones I had just come through.

I walked over to one of them and opened the doors. I felt along the wall until I found the light switch. As white light flooded the room I saw the most breathtaking bathroom I had ever seen. The whole room was made of black marble. Black marble floor, black marble Jacuzzi, black marble shower stall, black marble counter and sink and even a black marble toilet. The whole effect was striking and I couldn’t wait to take a relaxing Jacuzzi, I knew I would need it after my training tonight.

I walked out of the bathroom and entered the other double doors. It was my own version of Dimitri’s walk in wardrobe. The only difference was that my wardrobe was empty except for the training clothes and trainers that Dimitri had told me would be here.

I sighed as I looked at what I would have to wear. Ah well, I thought, at least I had the body to wear the sports bra and three - quarter length tight fitting workout trousers now.

I noticed that Dimitri was purposefully humming very loudly in our heads and was mentally squeezing his eyes shut as I changed.

I couldn’t help but laugh at his attempts to give me my privacy.

Don’t distract me Ashes, not unless you want me to be in your head while dress and undress.

Its okay I am decent, well as decent as I can be in these work out clothes. I amended.

“you look fine.” Dimitri told me as we met outside my bedroom. “shall we?” he asked me and motioned for me to walk with him down the stairs.

It was going to take a while to get used to his old fashioned ways.

“don‘t worry we will have more than enough time to get used to each other.” he told me as we came to the bottom of the stairs.

I started to follow Dimitri across the foyer of the mansion only to nearly run into him when he suddenly stopped. I sensed his frustration so I curiously looked up to see what he was looking at.

And I nearly took a step back at what was facing me. Only the memory of a documentary on the discovery channel stopped me. It had been about the animal food chain. Apparently when faced with an animal further up the food chain, an animal should always freeze, and not show any signs of weakness. Right now I was the prey and the odds were against me.

The other eight vampires I was going to be living with were standing across from me and they were all looking me up and down, sizing me up. The sight of that many strong powerful vampires actually scared me to death. I was going to have to get used to scarier vamps than them though if I was going to be hunting down rogue vamps who would actually kill me without a seconds thought.

I took a deep breath. I guess Quinn and Ari had told them about the new Enforcer. Me.

Chapter 4

I thought I was going to explode from the tension in the room when suddenly a door to my right opened and out came Quinn.

“Ah there you are Nixy, I wanted to catch you before you went to training. I wanted to know if I could watch. I could maybe even help.”

Quinn stopped right in front of me, completely ignoring the other vampires in the room.

Slowly, looking me up and down, a lazy smile appeared on his face.

“well don‘t you look absolutely edible Nixy.” he said in a low husky voice.

“I think that may be the problem.” Dimitri murmured.

I nervously looked over Quinn’s shoulder at the other vamps. They were all leering at me hungrily.

Suddenly, Dimitri and Quinn stood in front of me.

“Way to go guys, make me look weak in front of them why don‘t you.” I half whispered half hissed before stepping around them and facing the other vamps in the room.

I crossed my arms under my chest and jutted a hip forward to make myself look more confident.

“so your Dimitri‘s men.” I stated. “I‘m Phoenix. The Enforcer. Once I have finished my training I would be glad to have any one of you at my back in a fight. If
