CHAPTER EIGHT

The king sat opposite the queen in their private quarters. It seemed inconceivable they were about to have this conversation. However, a promise was a promise.

“So.”

“So.” Lia gave him a small smile.

He’d called Guiliana ‘Lia’ from the beginning, a term of endearment and a way to bring her closer to being his.

Which was what this was all about, at the root of it.

“There’s no need to feel guilty, my love, we both agreed to this.”

“Are you truly ready, though?”

That was the question.

“Is one ever ready to have their head removed?”

His queen blanched.

“Francis, is that really necessary?”

He shrugged.

There was no point in skirting around the reality of what would need to take place for them to pass on from this life. It was either a dagger to the heart or the removal of their heads.

Who the hell was going to do it, was the next question?

Francis has always assumed one of their sons would, but now they had reached this moment. It felt truly unthinkable.

For all of them.

Still, a promise was a promise, and here they were, one thousand years on. He would do as his queen wished—he owed her that. Before, though, he was going to make her talk about it and make sure she was absolutely sure.

There was no reversing a severed head.

“Is this still what you want? To leave our sons to reign, to never see our grandvamps?”

Guiliana looked away, biting her lower lip as she always had. His cock stirring in reaction, as it always had.

“There will never be a perfect time,” she said. “My choice was taken from me. I never wanted to be immortal and live this long.”

“No.” he said flatly. No, she hadn’t. And he had been the one to take her mortality.

Out of fear.

Memory was a strange keeper of history, but the moment he had bitten her was forever etched in his mind.

Francis had met with Guiliana every night, preparing her body for his entry. He had desired her more than any female and quickly decided he had to have her. Night after night, he’d taught her about her body. And his.

Eventually, the time came when he knew she was ready.

His cock entered her body, followed by a powerful energy which left him with no question she was his mate. Desire suddenly became a need.

Guiliana was but a mere pup, only eighteen cycles around the sun. Every evening, she spoke excitedly about him meeting her family. She asked more about who he was, which were all normal stages of a human falling in love.

Of course, he could not answer her with any truth, and had no interest in pretending to be human in front of her family. It would end with him having to wipe their memories when he pulled her into his world.

Which he’d decided would be sooner rather than later.

His Lia had such spirit. She shared her love of working on the farm, swimming in the ocean, and running through fields of flowers. She wanted to dance with him under the moonlight and share all of her favorite people with him.
