A brief teaser of Chapter 4 ~ Capitol Punishment:
I can still remember the moments after the gray smoke had cleared. My father had already joined my side so he had been safe. But across the field where Callidra had been bound, the two guards at her side hadn’t fared nearly as well.
I can still remember the anger in her eyes as she had looked at me. Callidra’s hands had been covered in crimson as blood ran down her mouth and chin, dripping onto her shirt. The heads had been literally ripped from the bodies of her two guards. It was the most grotesque site I had ever seen.
She ran away after showing us what she had done. In the next months Carlyn’s ashes were found in an urn with the words, ‘Though shalt not suffer a witch to live - Exodus 22:18,’ inscribed on the urn. In the next month the body of Cranus had been discovered. His head was still attached meaning he had been starved to death which was perhaps the most inhumane way for a vampire to die. It would have meant three months of no blood. Plus it was obvious he had been beaten and tortured the whole time that she had starved him. A sign had been wrapped around his body saying, ‘May there be blood in hell.’
Within the next year all eight of the remaining guards had died. Victor and I remained alive however. Other vampires slowly started dying. They didn’t have it bad though as it was clear none of them had suffered. All of them had had their heads severed, clean cuts. It was clear they hadn’t really been in any pain. She had shown them mercy when she killed them.

Sex, Blood, Revenge (and Everything in Between) Sneak Peek
A brief teaser of Chapter 3 ~ Burmilla:
I hiss at Herasee and Katrine immediately pushes in front of her. I have half a mind to put the poor banshee out of her misery. She has no idea how powerful I am... actually, none of them do. I haven’t used my full strength in a long time.
Katrine is a banshee – a mixed blood creature who is half vampire and half witch. The few of them who exist are actually among the most powerful beings roaming this earth, more powerful than most vampires, but they aren’t as powerful as me.
“Katrine, back down and walk away while you still have the chance.”
Katrine doesn’t back away, she doesn’t have to, because just then Burmilla comes running up. I know she has come out merely to defuse our fight, but the instant she sees me her love swells. Katrine and Herasee become nothing more than bystanders in both of our minds. I can almost hear Burmilla’s thoughts. It is shocking just how strong our familiar bond is. Of course, we have been familiars for four years and we never deny each other anything.
Burmilla is the same height as me, but she always manages to seem shorter. She runs the last steps to me and jumps into my arms. Her legs immediately wrapping around my hips as I wrap my arms around her waist. Her lips pepper my cheeks with kisses before her mouth meets mine.
Her tongue slips into my mouth, but as the kiss heats up several of the werewolves yell, “Get a room.”

An Introduction to the Characters of The Vengeful Lust Series
So I have three works of original fiction I am posting over on Fiction Press. The biggest planned out one at the moment is my novella series, The Vengeful Lust Series. Even though the individual novellas are not huge, the fact that there are a total of five novellas in the series makes it my most planned out original fiction. With that being said, I wanted to introduce some of the original characters in this series.
The series as a whole centers around an existence of supernatural in our world, but a post-apocalyptic or possibly a dystopian version of it. The idea being that the supernatural realm decided to reveal it's existence, starting with the top of the food chain. The vampires. The character who you get to know and either love or hate are all supernatural.
Among the vampires you have two different types of vampires, the blood born and the created. The blood born are ancient, many of them having lived thousands upon thousands of years. They're powerful, deadly and essentially royalty. There are a total of four blood born families and a fifth that was eradicated many millennia prior to the start of the series. If you are blood born, you are one them. Any other vampire was created. The four living families are the houses of Drakonia, Vladine, Acerbian, and Abhilasha.
The main protagonist in the first three books is Callidra Abhilasha. She's the last known survivor of her house. Because she is the Princess of Abhilasha, she is a considered a commodity among the other houses, but more than that is the fact that she's a she. Female blood borns are rare. After something happened with Donohue when she was younger and her parents were executed she abandoned her duties as a blood born vampire and fell in love with a human man name d Arian who she turned. For many centuries they were happy, but eventually the other blood borns executed her mate. After he was killed she made a vow to kill all vampires. She later turned that vow into a blood oath with the witches to make sure she never gave up on her cause.
The other two vampires you will become familiar with and also have a major role in the main 3 books are Donohue Drakonia and Arian Sarlin. Donohue is the prince of the Drokonia house and was always destined to be Callidra's mate but sometimes destiny can be thwarted... or at least delayed. Donohue is not a good man by any stretch of the imagine, but for all his hatred, anger and more, it is these very features that make him appealing in some way. By comparison, the late Arian is honest, good, just, and kind. He's the kind of man every woman should want and Callidra loved him for his shining nature. They are, very much, on opposite ends of the spectrum.
The first three stories are: Sex, Blood, Revenge (and Everything in Between); Desire, Fire, Hate (and Every Other Thing on that List); and Night, Tears, Life (and All Those Mysterious Things)
On top of the vampires, you will get to learn about four other species. The rule of law who are the witches, the half-breed spawn of a witch and vampire union which is a banshee, and two of natures creatures; the werewolves and werecats.
The main witch you will become acquainted with is Herasee. She's a powerful witch who makes sure Callidra fulfills her blood oath. Herasee is unlike most witches because, a) she has a sentient being as a familiar instead of an animal like a cat, dog or owl, and b) she works alone. She does not need the aid of a coven to work powerful spells, nor is she afraid of anything. There are reasons for this, but they won't be revealed until her book.
Her familiar is Katrine, a banshee. Banshees are technically more powerful than vampires, but there are only a handful in existence as their very existence is an affront to the law, to the hierarchy, and nature. She is very brunt and doesn't know her own limits, as such she gets into trouble regularly. Most of her story will be revealed in the same book as Herasee's.
Herasee's and Katrine's story is Anger, Hope, Fate (and the Whole Magical Getup)
Finally there are the werewolf and the werecat. Tiernan is a werewolf and familiar to Donohue. He seems to be the polar opposite of Donohue on an outward front, but the reality is that he has more demons in his closet than even Donohue. He's a very dark character with a very light front. He's multi-faceted in every way and when he ends up accidentally mating to Burmilla, a werecat and Callidra's familiar, the world turns on its metaphorical axis. Burmilla is a lover with a knowledge of how to fight and kill that is completely unmatched.
Their story is Pain, Games, Lies (and Many Other Dark Affairs)

Sex, Blood, Revenge Sneak Peek
A small teaser of Chapter 2 ~ Black Heart:
I know how to make him shut up, as well as how to let him know that I’m over it – kiss him. It’s that simple. The thing is, I’m not ready to kiss and make up yet. The masochistic part of me enjoys this fight. “Perhaps it’s because I don’t like the fact I’ve turned into a fag.”
“You think I do?” he snarls. “Do you think I enjoy being cursed to serve your needs and desires for the rest of eternity as your goddamn familiar, and all because I had to repay a life debt? Neither of us agreed to this, but I am sick and tired of your bitching. It wasn’t like you were complaining last night when I fucked you from here to high heaven”
I hiss. Of course, he is right, but it doesn’t mean I have to admit it – or want to. We’re always like this the next day, and usually I’m the one that acts grumpy the next day... Though, every once and awhile, it’s him who makes a point of being the angry one. Neither of us like the situation we are in as unwilling familiars. In all reality though, I wouldn’t change our screwed up relationship for anything.
