Chapter 7 - Tatiana

After being on the road for days, Nikolas finally brought Tatiana with him into one of the communal tents on a morning when they stopped to rest. Three vampires were drinking cups of reheated blood inside, and their conversation ceased when the pair entered.

Tatiana recognized all three of them from their watch rotations. They were the more dedicated guards who accompanied the prince to Gaivalon, but they didn’t look like the royal guards that she’d seen at Castle Eroch the few times she’d been there.

For some reason, Nikolas had taken fresh faces with him on this trip, ruffians instead of the refined soldiers available at home.

Part of it, she suspected, was that all these guards were local to the Vale, which was a rougher part of Rainada due to the extreme weather compared to the rest of the kingdom. The vampires who lived there were cut with a harder edge, and perhaps Nikolas liked having them by his side to make him look more formidable than he really was.

From what Tatiana had gathered in the short time she’d spent with Nikolas so far, he was frustrated by the brutality his brothers enacted because there was the expectation that he was a violent monster as well. It was an injustice, or so he claimed, because if he wasn’t violent when the moment called for it, especially in the Vale, then his subordinates began to think he was weak.

And so, they would act out of turn to cause him problems.

“Greetings, sire,” the one with beady eyes said. “Warmed you some blood if you’d like. Unless you’ve had your fill already?”

The men in the tent eyed Tatiana with a poorly veiled hunger that made her stomach turn. She chose to look them directly in the eye, refining her defiance to a sharp weapon, but their lust wasn’t dissuaded by the promise of a fight if they so much as breathed on her.

Not by her, at least, and so far, Nikolas didn’t move to stop them from lusting after her.

Instead, he chuckled. “I’ll have a swig, yes.” He shoved Tatiana to her knees beside his wooden throne, forcing her to look up at him like a dog. “I’m savoring this beauty one drop at a time.”

“Savoring’s not the word I’d use for what’s been going on in that sleigh,” another one of them men spoke. His face was covered in tattoos that made him look like a demon. “Probably fucked her bloody, eh? Needs a break, does she?”

To Tatiana’s absolute humiliation, Nikolas began to stroke the top of her head. She cringed away from his touch, but then he grabbed a fistful of her hair and yanked her closer.

“Owwww,” she cried out as he dragged her closer.

This time, she lowered her head and let him pet her. Heat burned her cheeks, a mixture of rage and embarrassment. The other men snickered and jeered at her like she was a disobedient dog, and she supposed, to them, she was. She bared her
