CHAPTER SIX

Esmee worked on breakfast while Arman and Russell discussed the situation. Esmee contributed her opinion as well since they all had an interest in the outcome. The news that Celeste was attempting to interfere was not appreciated.

“Fuck that witch.” Russell shook his head in disgust.

“She felt the shift and knew your beloved was here,” Esmee spoke. “The power she envies and desires for her own is drifting out of her grasp. She thought you’d be gone in a day or two; that’s why she and her kind were staying so close to the house. But Fate had other plans.” Esmee ended with a smug smile.

“In my last days, Fate decided to pulled me back from the edge. My only problem is that Liam is human, which I’m very happy about really, but he knows nothing of our lives and culture. This is going to take a lot of explaining.” Arman leaned back against the counter and crossed his arms.

“Having Celeste frighten him the way she did last night actually worked in my favor.” He smiled at the memory. “He held onto me for comfort and support, but what happens when he discovers who I really am?”

“He is your beloved Arman. He will know you and love you just as you will know and love him.” Russell’s tender remark was unexpected coming from a man who was inclined to be pessimistic.

“You are correct, brother; Fate made the match, and Fate never fails.” Esmee supported his assertions.

Arman listened and appreciated their words but, in his heart, he knew he had a fight on his hands. Celeste would not give up easily, and her power, although less than his, would be used to corrupt. “Celeste will try again to influence our bond. She tried to scare him last night. Who knows what her next move will be.”

“We will beat her, Arman. Her clever cruelties are no match for what Fate deems destiny.” Russell was definitely on a roll today.

“Keep talking like that Russell and I might begin to believe you have a heart.” Arman smiled, softening his words.

Russell shook his head and then added very thoughtfully. “I’ve never witnessed Fate in action before, and I’m finding it rather heartening. Here we were on our last days, and in comes Liam Gabriel out of the darkness of the night to save the day. Fate can be quite the drama queen.” They all agreed.

“You take care of your beloved, and Russell and I will keep watch for Celeste,” Esmee stated as she handed Arman the breakfast tray for him and Liam. “Win him over Arman, you’re stronger just having been with him. You are the Vampire King, and he belongs to you; never forget that.” Esmee drove home the obvious, but it was the encouragement that Arman needed.

“Liam is a loving and honest man. Fate was very generous with me, and I’ll do everything in my power to convince him to stay, but in the end, the decision is his and his alone. The bond cannot be forced or stolen; he will have to enter the union willingly and with conviction.
