The Secretary, Jeiana Airen [bts books to read TXT] 📗

the original blood line.  He was one  of rare talent and intelligence so he was appointed second in command when he turned 16.  We were friends as we grew together but he stayed distant when they announced me as the successor.  So now Levil looked at me as his rival and he would do anything to target all of my weakness and the situation between me and Elizabeth cannot be concealed.  "So i heard that you have this special delicacy that you can't get enough of?"  he spoke when i entered the room.  "Will you be bringing her during our feast? to share of course".

"I don't know that yet, maybe? perhaps? we'll see about that when the time comes.  So how was everything here? I'm sure he will be pleased with all the things you have done."  as i divert his attention to the topic.  I myself don't really understand the pull i have for elizabeth and her blood but i am not willing to share or do anything about it for now.  I continued to ask Levil all the plans for the feast and if there is anything i could help but he dismissed all inquiries and told me that there is nothing he can't handle.  He told me not to get used or attached to the human world as after the feast i will need to spend more time in the palace being an heir and all.  For now i  have been holding back from all my grandfather's request to take over early as soon he will need to rest and sleep for the next 100 years.

     I went home very cautious of my action knowing that all of my movements are being watched.  From now on i need to be more than careful and i need to find out what this foreign feeling is before it ruin me.

 

 

11. The Elders

 

 

     "Margaret, what do you think you're doing?  Are you trying to destroy everything!  That girl is innocent"

     "How can you say she is?!  My son is on the middle of strengthening his power to step up the throne and he does not need any distraction.  This girl is making him out of focus because of her blood, she even offered blood to me without hesitation!  I saw her emotions and she should stop or it will be disaster!"

 

     Dara was very stunned and was not able to react to Margaret's word; but being human he does not fully understand how vampire council work or how being drawn to a human's blood is very wrong when BLOOD is their source of life.  He stood beside her wife trying to console and calm her to avoid unnecessary harm to other employee as she is emitting a force that make others afraid.  Margaret's eyes were turning black either because of anger, hunger or fear though she said everything is alright.  Dara accompanied her out the office to go home and rest because of her sudden exposure to direct sunlight she has not fully recovered yet.  When they reach the mansion they were greeted by a veer who are servants of the high vampire who holds invitation for lady Margaret to visit the castle.  Dara was confused because he may be accepted in their society  but he was not included in this particular invitation which made him think that something dangerous may happen.  Though Dara refused for Margaret to go, she just ignore the plea and said that everything will be alright, that her father just wish to see her in private.  Margaret then kissed Dara goodbye and went to the castle with the veers.

 

     Margaret was presented to the king her father.  She was questioned about a certain girl who was with Raine most of the time.  Other than being the heir, Raine was also entitled to fulfill another vampire prophecy stating that his children will be the most powerful vampire of all so his partner will also be of importance.  Her mother explained that the girl was just his most trusted secretary and was very good at her job.  The king dismissed the subject and asked Margaret to find a suitable wife or partner for Raine.

 

     Margaret met with Levil after so he can introduce her to some of the girls the king chose for Raine.  As the mother Margaret should know what is best for her son.  The king was very strict and she knows exactly how he punish whenever his wish was not granted.

 

     At home....

 

     Raine went home and was greeted by his father "How was your day son?"

     "Everything was doing ok father.  I actually met Levil and he was changed somehow, he does not sound like the old friend i have. Anyway i need to checked my schedule and meet with Liz i'm hungry"

"I don't think that would be a good idea son" Dara stopping him from leaving again.

"Why is that father? i don't think it is a good idea to starve and i also need to hunt.  Of course you do not understand this being a human and all."

     Dara felt defeated and step aside to let Raine go.

   

 

12 Feeding

  *12. *   *Feeding*     

 

As expected Elizabeth was at the office doing all the paper work i sent yesterday.  I just had my meal 30 minutes before i arrived and yet i smell her as soon as i entered the building.  This is damn crazy, I only choose to drink blood from the finest woman.  Some are daughter's of a big entrepreneur, others are highly known celebrities or even daughters of politicians.  High classed women who can bring wealth to the clan and all are also candidate to be my wife but none of them have this kind of pull.  This may just be a big misunderstanding as i cannot just feed on one person alone or else i could kill her.  This has to be a way to sort this out somehow.     

 

"Good morning sir!"  a girl with a secretary uniform greeted,  revealing my presence to Elizabeth.  I just nod and went to her desk signaling to come and follow me inside the office.  For Liz, she is so capable the she knows every meaning of my look or expression that you do not need to tell her what to do at all.    

 

I unlock the door and went in to settle, after a few minutes Liz followed and i heard the door clicked as it closed.  She approached me with a smile and all i need to do is ask and she gave me her most delicious blood, my very own drug to survive.  With her i do not need to play or have sex but she still gave the best there is i could find.    

 

"After you fixed yourself i need you to send gift to this girl".      

 

Liz look at it as if questioning.  It read 'Adelina Erlitz Executive of Ruby Trade' another one famous daughter from a business mogul and she is my new meal partner. I know that i do not need to explain but there is just this itch that i have to tell her but my pride won and just send her of to work instead.  Elizabeth then read to me my schedule for this December.  We have a huge Christmas party that the company sponsored to gather most businessman or rich man from the city.  Every year we also invite some people from different charity institutions not just to share but also to spread and gather information about the environment in order to widen the societies influence.  As much as i hate attending to this type of party, it seems that i have no choice because this is also a part where i hunt and learn new things so i decided to invite Elizabeth to the said party.

 

"Elizabeth i need you to come with me to the party this December 25"

 

"I already have plan for that day"

 

"You do not have a boyfriend.  You are workaholic so i doubt you have the time to find one, plus it will only be you and your mother for that day.  so i believe your mother will understand.  Besides it will be for official business and of course you will be paid accordingly" She was so sure of rejecting me the first time and i know for a fact that she won't be able to resist if it is for work.

13 CHRISTMAS

   *Elizabeth*     

 

I really hate it whenever he uses work to get what he wants but it always works.  He is well aware that i need the money and my mother would really understand this type of things.  Since i have debt because of school and i also want to help my mother in terms of bill payment and such, i really need to work hard.  When i got home i talked to my mom about the party and asked if she will be alright.  She just said that she will just spend it with her friends at work as well.  With that being settled the other problem would be the dress to wear.    

 

I was able to find the most decent dress i can find when i went to the last weekend.  Since it is Christmas season all the shopping malls are crowded from last minute shoppers to dine in restaurants and even the salons cannot find chairs for their clients.  That may be the reason why i was not able to pick the type of "perfect dress".  The image still shows of that most capable secretary for my most demanding boss.    

 

Christmas day is here and i was wearing the dress i bought and i was happy about how it looks.  It is a plain v neck sleeveless dress that accentuate my curve with a brouche on the left side.  My usual hairstyle and my glasses of course and i wear my most beautiful smile.The mood change as i was greeted by my boss scrutinizing eyes "What the hell are you wearing?!'.  I did not hesitate to give him a frown and i made sure that he would understand that he is acting like an idiot that he is.  Instead of responding he just shook his head andpinch the bridge of his nose in defeat.

 

 

"Will go out a little bit early later before we go the party." Withoutsaying anything he just went inside his office and start the work.After that the day went slowly until the clock strikes 3pm.

 

"Are you ready to leave?" gesturing for me if i am
