CHAPTER IV

Michael

I enjoy the stricken look on her intelligent face, as I enjoyed the show of strength she put up in the Abbot’s office. This is big for her. In that video she made about me, shouting out into the world what the alias The Devil’s Son could mean, she never mentioned this, because she never thought about it. But her suggestions were just as dangerous, and they could have drawn too much attention to me anyway.

“You’re Dracula’s son. Of course, how didn’t I see it? Dracul means devil in the old language of Transylvania.”

“Finally, someone who knows. Most people have only heard the other meaning, dragon.”

She touches my chest with her hand as one would touch a precious mummy discovered in some ancient tomb of Egypt.

“That’s why you’re feared as you are. You’re the most important carrier of Dracula’s bloodline.”

My jaw clenches, and I can’t keep the poison from my tone. “No, Angelique. I’m feared because I’m at least twice as vicious as my biological father. I took things to the next level. I’ve done things even Dracula would shudder to hear about.”

The eye contact is hard to hold but impossible to break.

“And yet you remind me so much of your father right now,” the Abbot chimes in, drawing both Michael’s and my attention. There’s something sentimental in his pretty, androgynous face.

“I’m sorry I can’t possibly take that as a compliment,” Michael says between his teeth.

“He is your father, Michael,” the Abbot insists. “And you have inherited a lot of his personality, his powers, even his kingly manner. You two are more alike than you think, and that’s not even a bad thing. He never asked to become what he is either.”

I stare at Michael as the Abbot speaks, wondering how could a man like him ever hate what he is. So incredibly beautiful, so powerful, he has the world at his feet.

The Abbot leads the way further, leaving Michael and me in the same semi-privacy as before.

“What is your biggest dream in life?” The question just slips out of me. “What is your ultimate goal?”

Michael stares at me as if nobody had ever asked him this before. “I’m not sure I understand what you mean.

“Like what do you live for?”

He raises his eyebrows, inspecting my face as if he’s exploring it for the first time.

“Why drives you to do what you do?” I press on.

“I just want peace,” he breathes. “I want to be able to let go, to just...” For a moment I think he’s actually living out in his mind what he desires, but in only the blink of an eye the ruthless Michael is back. His eyes refocus, and his mouth curves up with that sexy villainous quirk. “But I guess taking revenge against that hyena I have for a father, Dracula, would make a noble purpose.”

“He actually met his father a year ago in Bucharest,” the Abbot puts in. “There was talk all over the Flipside.”

“Yes, I met him in the human world. One of his enemies had managed to stage things in such a way that it brought us face to face.
