Stained Purity (Crow)

[FaeWhisperer]

She pulled back, gasping softly as she finished. She looked at Lucian in the eyes, she could of sworn she had seen his eyes change color. But perhaps it was the lighting.

“Thank you,” she breathed out, wiping her mouth next. She would then feel sleep pull at her very being and she gave a small yawn. “I-I’m going to lay down now..” she murmured and did so, curling up underneath the sheets and was fast asleep.

Soon a knock was heard on the door, and a voice sounded. “My lord?” It was a servant of his.

 

[Crow]

Lucian would tuck her in as she falls asleep before looking over at his servant. He would silently move out the room and closing the door "yes what is it?"

 

[FaeWhisperer]

“I was sent to remind you about the upcoming blood moon…a lot of us are hoping you’ll pick a suitable queen,” he paused, readjusting his waistcoat. “Have you found her?” He asked, noting the new fledgling that had graced their halls, the word was already buzzing in the coven from excitement.

 

[Crow]

His eyes would roll in his head at the mention of a queen. He knew that it was important for him to find a mate but there were no suitable women for him, or at least not till now. He would shake the idea out of his head, he could not force that on Cassandra. "Yes yes I know I need to find a suitable mate but no I have had no such luck"

 

[FaeWhisperer]

The servant seemed dissatisfied with that answer but didn’t press. He looked to the room behind his lord and then gave a soft sigh. “You’ll have to tell her eventually, she deserves to know the truth..”

It was supposed to be Lucian to turn Cassandra, not the vampire who had done so. Thankfully the blood bond they had was stronger than any sire bond. For years he had pined over the woman, and this servant here knew exactly what his lord was thinking.

 

[Crow]

He would hiss at the servant but knew that they were right. This was no longer something that he could keep a secret from her. "I will tell her who I really am and about the bond but that is it. She cannot know about my feelings and mustn't ever find out. Not after tonight"

 

[FaeWhisperer]

He paused before he began to leave, “I’m sure she’ll feel the same,” he assured his lord and left him alone.

Cassandra stirred in her sleep and called for Lucian when she noticed he wasn’t in the room.

 

[Crow]

He could hear her as if she was right next to him and would move to open the door "I am right here Cassandra" he would move inside the room without make a sound, closing the door behind him

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Cassandra sat up in the bed, watching him come over to her. “I’m sorry..” she apologized to him, knowing he was a busy man. He shouldn’t have to worry over a person such as she.

She was just…overwhelmed. Every sound and scent was heightened and she still had to adjust to it.

 

[Crow]

"don't be it is fine. I haven't experienced it myself but I have seen plenty of fledglings dealing with being turned" he would sit next to her trying to be a comforting presence

 

[FaeWhisperer]

She nodded, and shifted slightly, giving a small sigh. “When will the feeling go away?” She asked, Cassandra was obviously worried- she didn’t want to go on a killing spree to satisfy her hunger.

 

[Crow]

"the hunger will always be there but you will grow to control it. For now just stay here and by my side" he says leaning uo against her

 

[FaeWhisperer]

She gave a small nod, leaning against him and closing her eyes. She noted something though. It was Lucian’s scent. She obviously had never noticed it before since she hadn’t been a vampire before but something about Lucian’s scent was alluring to her…it had to do with her having that blood bond with him but it also lay deeper than that, giving the attraction she had felt to him for years but never acted upon it because as ruthless as a ruler he was, she knew he wouldn’t worry over such trivial things.

 

[Crow]

He would sigh as he moves away from her a bit "hey Cassandra there is something I need to tell you." He was a bit nervous which was definitely unlike himself "so I'm just going to throw it out there but I am kind of sort of a vampire"

 

[FaeWhisperer]

She gave a puzzled look and then she responded in a way he never would have guessed.

“Is…is that why your scent to me is so different than others?” There was no way he was a vampire made..was he a vampire born?

“How are you able to have a heartbeat and have magic still..?” She inquired, seemingly intrigued.

 

[Crow]

He was a bit taken a back by her quizzical reaction to this revelation "um yes that is why and to answer your other question. You know all those rumors about the blood moon allowing couples to eventually give birth to a vampire with magic. Well I am that child and because if that I am their king sort of"

 

[FaeWhisperer]

She stared at him. “You…what?” She asked, trying to process all of this information. “So..you coming from a long bloodline of warlocks was only half of the information?” He had to have at least one warlock ancestor and another vampire ancestor for this to work…for him to be here.

 

[Crow]

"yeah I stick to the warlock persona because it suits me better" he says glad to get this off his chest "I have had several ancestors that were warlocks including my own father but I am a vampire"

 

[FaeWhisperer]

She listened to his explanation but then nodded, “So…that’s why you have an alliance with the vampires…I’m assuming your mother was one then?”

 

[Crow]

He would nod "It is not so much an alliance as they are my subordinates" he says looking up at her "But there is also something else, being a vampire myself we are blood bonded"

 

[FaeWhisperer]

“Blood bonded…” she murmured and was curious, “What…what’s a blood bond?” She asked him, looking into his eyes, wondering what he would say next.

 

[Crow]

He would ponder his words for a moment before speaking"It is sort of like soul mates. If you have been feeling an attraction or anything else towards me that would be from the bond. It is a strong emotional link"

 

[FaeWhisperer]

“Oh-“ she spoke, feeling warm underneath her skin. Well, kinda. She touched her arm and rubbed it slightly. “So…” she looked a little embarrassed. “Do you have..someone like that?” She asked, wondering if he did, completely unaware she had made him have that for her too.

 

[Crow]

He would blush for the first time, something unbecoming for a warlock with a reputation like Lucian "Um well it works both ways, so i am bonded with you as much as you are with me" god he felt embarrassed saying this out loud, it was basically the equivilat of saying they were married

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Cassandra looked at him blushing for the first time and she bit her lip, “Is…is that a bad thing? You won’t get..in trouble with anyone right?” She asked, the fact that she was worried about him..it was kinda cute.

 

[Crow]

He shakes his head "I wont no, but once they find out they will expect you to become their queen, my bride" He looks at her smiling nervously. She was the only one to ever see him get vulnerable like this, the only one he trusted to let his guard down for,

 

[FaeWhisperer]

If her face could deepen in her embarrassment she laughed a little, “Wait..” she paused, “Are..are you serious? They’ll do that?” But she wasn’t saying it like she…was against the idea. But then again she wasn’t sure how he felt.

 

[Crow]

He nods, :The blood ties are powerful and is basically a symbol of one's relationship and signifies they are mates" He felt nervous telling her all of this but would laugh a bit, it was kind of funny. He had liked her for years and now they are forced together in this circumstance

 

[FaeWhisperer]

She leaned back and gave a sigh. “So…is everything solidified under the blood moon then?” She asked, biting her lip. Again…she wasn’t telling him no.

 

[Crow]

He would nod "That and that tends to be when offspring are made" He would look up at her finding her more enchanting than normal, perhaps this was due to the power of the bond
