When I woke up the next day, I found Tessa was not in our bed. I didn’t know what she was up to today but every time I still check her side of the walk-in closet making sure the favorite babies were still there. Seeing her most cherished guns and knives were still perfectly displayed, I put on my clothes and went straight to Marshall’s room.

Marius had assigned our human helpers and they were informed of the situation. He had assured me that I was going to be satisfied. That I was going to find the room of my newest sired son to my satisfaction. Fit for a prince.

I found Tessa in front of Marshall’s door, talking to Marius who looked like he was not letting her in. I smirked at both of them thinking that Tessa’s maternal instinct was already kicking in though she hasn’t yet had my blood coursing through her veins.

“Nero! Great you’re here… I need to see this marshall guy, but Marius here won’t let me through!”

“Worried already?” I teased, pulling her close for a long gentle kiss. She flushed beautifully and Marius tried not to be awkward about him being in the front seat of our little PDA. That guy had always been one of the shy ones, doesn’t matter if he was one of my best guards.

“Am not. I’m just making sure he’s okay after drinking your blood. What if Marshall’s body rejected your blood? I mean he drank it, and it’s not exactly hygienic. I was wondering how even your blood gets into his veins when he drinks it, and you did drink his blood. I need to know if we need to get him a blood transfusion, go to the hospital, and…”

Tessa was babbling, and I could see Marius was trying to hold his laughter.

“Come, let’s see how our son is coping. Marius, you can wait outside for me, do not disturb us until I tell you otherwise.”Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

I didn’t wait for his reply knowing he’d do as he was told.

“He’s not our anything. I’m merely concerned about his well-being, though I’m still not sure why… Nero! Are you ignoring me? I can’t believe this!” She crossed her arms to her chest, ready to spill more anger when I kissed her temple and opened the door for her. She hurriedly followed me into the room when I wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her back to stand behind me.

The feverish moans let out by Marshall were making her stand straighter. Her eyes widened as she takes in the sight in front of her. “What’s happening to him, he looked so pale. We should get him to a human doctor.”

“He needs to feed. He’ll be feeding off me for the next five days and I’ll have one of his brothers or sister mentoring him before he can go out and hunt for himself.”

“So this… this is normal?”

“Yes,”

I didn’t say anything further as I sat on his bed. Marshall looked sluggish when I sat by his side then instructed Tessa to sit on the sofa if she didn’t want to leave. She was still a human and I didn’t want her scent to affect the feeding process.

The moment I tear the skin on my wrist, his eyes opened as the familiar scent of my blood was awakening his desire to feed. His hands were quick to wrap my arm and his lips latched on my wrist and started sucking like an infant. The little satisfied moans he let out eases my inside, letting me know that he was feeding and that everything was indeed going well as far as his transition into becoming the blood-craving creature that we are.

“Ssh… that’s enough for now my prince. Marius will give you more in a couple of more hours.” I stop his feeding session when I felt that he had his fill. Marius had been instructed to start feeding him with human blood in small amounts because being my heir I will need to provide the majority of his feeding. He will be stronger than most vampires in my den because of it, just like my other children.

Marshall whined when I pulled my hand away from him, and I was pleased that his instinct was instructing him to lick my open wrist and the skin stitched itself in mere seconds.

“Thank you, I… what am I?”

“You, my beautiful child is mine. You’re a vampire Prince to King Nero Severus Xerxes, one of the strongest vampire clans in the world. You’re my sixth, sired from the wish of our future Queen, Tessa,” I paused to let him see her and nodded. “She’s the one who wanted me to save you. You will show her your respect as you would to me.” My hand trailed to his soft strands and let him slowly take it all in. He looked calm and satisfied after his feed, his eyes were sleepy and I kissed his forehead before telling him to go back to sleep.

Marshall did as he was told. He’s such a good youngling and it made me smile as I go to Tessa and held out my hand to her.

“You picked a very good son, my future Queen. He’d be a good one. I can already feel it.”

Tessa gasped, she looked like she was too confused to say anything. So I kissed her cheek and ushered her out of Marshall’s room.

“Give him one bag of blood every six hours. I’ll feed him again later.” I instructed Marius and ushered Tessa back to our living space knowing that I have more things to settle before I can spend more time with her. And honestly, I need to talk with her before she goes off and does her own thing.

“Thanks for before. Um… though it weirded me out seeing how you’re so paternal with a stranger. You practically just met Marshall.”

I have to give it to Tessa, she always speaks her mind and I really appreciate that she was blabbering her thoughts and letting me in on her worries so I can do my best to calm her down. And once she was back doing her thing, which as of this moment was going to our very large backyard and playing with her new toys. I had one of Aldrich’s men keep an eye on her. Aside from making sure that no vampires lay a hand on her, I was more concerned that she was about to stir chaos in the backyard and cause unnecessary attention to our den.

As soon as it was safe to leave my Queen with her various sizes of guns for her so-called target practice. I decided to call Vesper and get him to talk face-to-face. It amazed me that he hadn’t come to find me knowing that he’ll be on brother duty the moment I sent Marius to let him know.

“Father,”

“Ah, my favorite wolf-loving son.”

“Eh… Um… about that,”

I chuckled knowing that he would be uneasy about me knowing that he has eyes for Tessa’s half-brother.

“Vesper, I was told that you had Aldrich sneaking out of your room. I thought you were done with him.” And now I know that he had a bit too much fun with my guard last night.

“Wait, I thought you were summoning me to talk about the newest human you sired, courtesy of the future queen?”

I almost rolled my eyes at him, but managed to keep my calm and told him that it was indeed my intention. “You know about the newest addition to our family already, I need you to be hands-on. He’s not the first brother I asked you to look after and guide. Though I don’t understand how you can guide them to be the perfect vampire while you lack the discipline to be one.”

I paused until I knew that I had his full attention. Scolding him was needed from time to time and today was one of those days.

“So, will I have your word or will I need to call one of your brothers or sister to take care of Marshall?”

“I’ll do it.” He grumbled but relent and told me that he was going to talk to Marius and adjust his schedule.

It was a privilege to be sired by a king and Vesper knows this. One doesn’t need to go hungry and hunt on his own. For the first week, things will be feral for younglings. Those whose sire was not there for them will go blood-crazy and kill more humans than they should. The feeding frenzy had made more younglings die from blood poisoning where the blood intake was more than needed when their sires didn’t contribute any blood necessary coursing through their veins.

A sired prince or princess will be treated like a royal no matter what he was previously as a human. In this case, Marshall will have my guards’ protection, they will feed him for the first week along with me as his sire before one of my children will look after him. And since everyone was nowhere near I know the job will go to Vesper and he’d do a good job just like he had a couple of times before.
