Thank you.

Hey sorry about the delay. Still dealing with my depression and lack of motivation to write in general. I may need to take a couple weeks break or something.

Victoria smiled softly at Vail as he suggested that she try to test her own strength and assess her on her own merits. He wasn’t certain what to do with her, the tome didn’t reveal too much when they had read it together. But she concurred with his suggestion to keep away from humans for now. Even her mother, to keep her safe. Before she could voice her agreement, what he said next actually came as a bit of a shock to her.

Her already bright eyes, widened even further to become even brighter, from hearing Vail say she’d like for her to be there when he went to check on his family. “Really? You don’t think my presence will upset your father further?” She wondered as she felt a surge of warmth and happiness growing for their flourishing relationship. She felt like Vail was ready to commit to their bond. Not only was she his lover but now his ward. His own blood flowed through her veins now, sustaining her life.

She smiled brightly though, despite her worry about Vail’s father’s reaction. Family was everything to her. To be finally accepted into Vail’s family as his potential wife and life mate would mean the world to her. She hadn’t really felt the loss of Vail’s company since she fell into her death coma. However, she had felt the crave of his presence when they were days apart due to his father’s disapproval of his son from seeing her. And she felt even closer to him now after she knew he saved her life. Not for the first time either. He had always been there for her when she needed help. Albeit it started out as a mutually beneficial contract in the beginning. She wanted o be by his side forever, be there for when he needed someone. He was now the Hygrace leader it seemed and faced many hard decisions in the future.

She squeezed his hand and nodded. “I’d like to go with you, show your family that I am here to support you as well. And prove that I’m not just a liability anymore.” As a human, she was considered so. As a vampire, she wouldn’t have the influence of any of the vampire’s bloodlust or cause a showdown between Vail and the other members like her presence did during her stay there whilst she recuperated from Spencer’s abuse.

Probably both bad timing and not prioritising as we moved in the week before Christmas.

I hope you all goes well for you!

Victoria felt less guilty after hearing exactly how deep their feud ran with the Wynters. She just happened to be the opportunity they were waiting for to strike the Hygraces at the same time. Still, she felt somewhat responsible for providing that opportunity just because of her genetics making her blood irresistible to vampires. Now she was a vampire like he and his family, she supposed she had to adopt the same dogma, but she didn’t want to bite another human being, it just wasn’t nice, having experienced it by force. And she had no human lover to drink blood from like Vail did.

She had to wonder if the Moncourier clan adopted the Hygrace dogma or the Wynter dogma. Now was the ideal time to find out. She had a half-brother to connect with. She could see why the Wynters might think they were superior to humans, she felt this overwhelming power surging within her. Like she could reach up to touch the sun and crush it in her hand. She noted how he spoke in the past tense. Did he think the Wynters had taken over? Surely the Hygraces would have some loyalty in their allies.

Victoria received his tender kiss with a warm smile. She was so happy to be back with him, safe and sound. Her eyes fell melancholy when he explained how Katherine was coping. And for him seeing his father in such a way, a father he was used to seeing being strong. She stroked the back of his hair as he said he was tired but waiting for her to wake up was even harder. She felt a warmth spread in her chest for her vampire lover, knowing he was worried about her and didn’t even visit his family, it sounded like he had never left her side. She knew in that moment that she wanted to become his wife. He cared about her in a way a doting husband would.

“I’m sorry you had to go through all that alone, my love.” She squeezed his hand. “You will no longer be alone ever again. You’ve got me now and I am not going anywhere.” She vowed and kissed the back of his hand, trying to be very gentle with him as she was not used to this level of strength she now had. “Do you want me to go see your family with you? Or do I need to stay cooped up inside for a while?” She didn’t know what to expect to feel or experience in her transformation. She knew that she didn’t crave her mother’s human blood. Being around other vampires wouldn’t cause her to have a lust for their blood either. Maybe she hadn’t experienced the worst of the hunger yet…

Victoria felt Vail’s eyes shift away from her when she hoped the Saints were okay. It seemed he was the pessimist right now and her the optimist. She knew by that shift in his actions that it was bad news and she felt her heart drop a little. What had everyone gone through while she was asleep? She felt guilty for not being there for anyone. But it could not be helped since she was dying and had to be turned.

As Vail came to join her on the seat she smiled weakly at him, he appeared weary in his mental state rather than physical. His eye no longer shined as brightly when she looked into them. His heart was heavy with burden, she could see that and she squeezed his hand softly in return when he stroked hers with his thumb. As soon as he mentioned that her estate wasn’t the only one attacked, she knew it meant his. She knew the Hygrace and the Wynters were enemies in the past.

He searched her eyes for a way to cope with telling her what happened. Reliving it in one’s mind was cruel enough without having to openly recite it. Speaking of atrocities somehow made it seem more real…it dragged up those raw emotions having to go through the pain all over again. Her bright eyes widened even more to seem even brighter but she was in shock. A small gasp escaped her lips as he revealed more than half his clan was murdered. She felt her hands squeezing his all the more, showing that she was there for him in this difficult time. It was still heart wrenching to hear of his family’s tragedy. “Oh no…I am so sorry. If they weren’t after me in the first place, they’d never have attacked your family.” She felt guilty like it was her fault to begin with.

Thank god some of them managed to escape Mikael. The fact Vail escaped unscathed going up against him was nothing short of a miracle. As he leaned forward, she leaned a little more toward him in return. “They’re here?” She wondered why they came with them here. She couldn’t imagine his father wanting them to go with the Crests and Moncouriers. She furrowed her eyebrows as he stated his father was now permanently crippled. Could vampires even be permanently crippled? As Vail frowned, Victoria cupped his cheek gently and caressed his perfect skin, she still couldn’t believe he didn’t feel as cold. His father did not sound himself at all. It was all left to him and his mother.“How is Katherine doing?”She asked as he brushed her lock of hair behind her ear and leaned in to put her forehead against him. She couldn’t imagine his mother was fairing that well with such a heavy burden on her now. “And more importantly..how are you feeling my love?” She asked and nuzzled her nose against his affectionately. “It cannot be easy seeing your father this way.”
