Chapter 8

“Martin…” she said on a soft and deep tone, making him shiver as she stroked along his face “I’m glad you felt ready for the awakening. It was high time. My beloved David have missed you” she said walking around the kneeling man in her elegant white corset and nightgown, a tiny smile played around her full lips when she saw him close his eyes from her touches and warm energy.

Martin recalled what David had told him about female demons, although somehow he instinctively knew how to act around her. He remembered his lover’s soft whispers in the dark room. It was clear that he adored female demons, like all males. The reason for this was because there were more males and because females could provide them babies to pass down their teachings. Those old pagan religions came into the curly man’s mind where the mother figure was in the centre of attention and admiration, where females were the cradle of life. Now he understood it more feeling the queen’s intoxicating presence, calling forth his own powers. He found her breathtakingly beautiful and not just in the physical sense. A yet unknown deep respect flooded his senses towards her that he couldn’t explain, but didn’t want either. It just felt right. Like when a lost piece of a puzzle finds the place it fits in perfectly. They didn’t have to tell him, he already knew that she was their leading female, the one who held their clan or family together. It was crystal clear from her enormous power and the way the other two males and their energies acted around her.

“Thank you, my lady” he said hoarsely. He knew that he was still a stranger until she said he could stay.

“I know what your heart desires, Martin” she said on a calm tone “You want to belong. You are already one of us, but my word decides who will belong to our family. You want to belong to our clan, don’t you? To seek shelter, love and safety.”

“Yes, my lady” Martin whispered and nodded.

“Very well. I expect honesty from everyone around here. And I would know anyway if you hid something from me. But… your heart is pure and curious; your mind is open to new things. This is why it was easy for David to persuade you about your true nature, wasn’t it?”

“I guess so, my lady.”

“Yes, it was” she sent a warm look and a smile to the dark-haired man “My sweet impulsive, David…” she said lost in thoughts for a moment then turned back to the curly man. “I will welcome you in our family with one condition.”

“And what would that be, my lady?”

“You have to help us find out who tries to blame the murders on David. If you manage to solve the case, you will pass my test and truly become one of us after an initiation.”

“What kind of initiation if I may ask, my lady?”

A smile slowly spread on her face “Let that be a surprise, dear Martin. Will you accept my condition?”

Martin looked up at this beautiful woman for a long moment and examined his feelings. He had no doubt. “Yes, my lady.”

“Very well then. You can stay here with us. I want you to observe everyone you might meet here. I completely trust David and Brian. I know well that they would not do such horrible things. Their souls are pure and honest, I can see it with my powers. But we suspect that there is a snake lurking in the grass, if you know what I mean.”

“I understand. You want me to find a possible traitor.”

“Correct. Even the possibility makes me utterly sad, but I cannot take any risks. David is dear to my heart and I don’t want to lose him. Or anyone else from our family. But if there is a traitor, I want you to bring him or her in front of me so I can punish them the way I may see fit.”

“As you wish, my lady.”

“Good boy. Now you can leave. I need to deal with other issues.”

Martin nodded “I understood. And thank you for seeing me.”

She just nodded and sat back to her desk next to the big mahogany bed, reaching for a bottle of spiced wine. Martin stood up and saw that the other two men did the same, but only Dave turned around and walked towards him with a small smile on his lips. They walked out of the room and after the door closed, he faced Martin and took his face between his hands, pressing a soft kiss on his lips. The blonde man still felt dizzy and this move surprised him, but he felt that his lover was happy.

“I know you’ll be able to solve this, Martin. And when you do, you’ll be fully a part of our clan and we will awaken all of your powers. You’ll be able to feel us completely and you’ll fully understand what it means to be my pair.”

Martin just looked into his darkly shining wet eyes and nodded with happiness and a little fear in his heart. But it was just the fear of the unknown future. Now he had a task to focus on and solve the riddle that’s been bugging his mind since he saw the first victim.

---

In the next few days he had to go to the police station to do some paper work since his boss, Mr. Fletcher took him off this murder case. Now that he had a task from the queen, he tried to stay low and do whatever his supervisor gave him so that he could get off early and go back to the house. It turned out that it wasn’t really just David’s house, although it was on his name. It was more like the “nest” of his demon family. Although Martin didn’t know if the leading female, named Celestia as Dave told him, lived there with the others, but Martin saw her a few times walking along the corridors. It became clear to him that although she was very powerful, all the males around her had the task to protect her from any harm – let it be physical or supernatural.

In his free time he was careful with his visits, making in sure that no one followed or saw him, because he didn’t want to put David in further danger while the investigation was still going on. Martin spent most of his time in the house, watching the others from the background when there were some events or just came to visit. Sometimes he talked with them, too, then took notes in a little book that he carried around with him wherever he went.

“What are they?” he asked sipping from that delicious spiced wine that guy Maynard made for the queen and the other members of the family. He was standing next to Brian by a window, eyeing a certain type of people in the crowd. Strange men and women that seemed to serve the gathered demons, who didn’t waste too much attention on them.

“Vampires” he shrugged and took a sip from his wine, his now greenish-grey eyes glowing calmly.

“For real?” Martin frowned.

“What did you expect? That only demons exist from the fairy tales? No, my naïve friend, there are a lot more for you to learn about our world. But yes, real vampires, though they are not entirely like in the silly books you might have read.”

“What’s the difference and why are they here?”

“They are mostly humans, but their second nature allows them to feed on blood or energies. They are more like snacks to us. Their blood is like an energy boost for demons. Makes us heal quicker, for example.”

“But how did they become vampires?”

“Restless evil souls. Those can nestle into the fresh corpses and cling to them, bringing the body back. Others inherited it through a dirty bloodline, or witches manipulated them. There are different kinds. Usually they cling to sleeping demons like you used to be and suck their enormous energies away, until the demon side of the human fades away. Fucking bastards…” he growled “But they are fun to toy with. Especially when a demon feeds them on his or her blood. That way the vampire gets tied to the demon. Our blood is highly addictive to them. Filthy minions…”

“Isn’t it dangerous to have them around?” Martin watched a lean man with blank dark eyes stare up at David from next the couch his demon lover was sitting on talking with the man called Jonathan, both enjoying some expensive cigars.

“They wouldn’t dare to betray us, especially if one has tasted demon blood. After that the vampire needs to have it again time after time.”

“What happens when he doesn’t get it?” the blond man asked sill keeping his eyes on that vampire with a prominent nose.

“They get weaker and hungrier and fade away with time. Human blood wouldn’t satisfy their thirst” he shrugged again. “So… how’s the investigating going?” he asked with a small smile in the corner of his lips and flashed his sharp little teeth at Martin, slightly pushing him with his hips.

The curly man cleared his throat and slightly flushed as he answered “Still gathering information.”

“Oh, you are so cute. You don’t have to blush, Mr. Gore. You’ve already sucked my cock the first night you came here, so I thought we were past this” Brian chuckled dirtily “Perhaps we should repeat that some time. I know David wouldn’t mind it” he said and pinched Martin’s butt, snickering even more on his confused face. “You know, sex by us is a way to get to know the other better. Haven’t your lover told you this yet?” he winked playfully. “And I know him very… well, if you know what I mean.”

“Great, Mr. Molko” he cleared his throat again.

“Oh come on, Martin… your shyness just turns me on more” he teased grinning and grabbed him through the trousers. “I know you are curious about me… I saw you watching me when you thought I wouldn’t notice…” he whispered into his ear, surrounding him with his power and feeling the growing excitement inside Martin and under his palm too, as he kept on massaging him in the shady corner they were standing in. When he bit into the blond man’s neck and heard his throaty moan, he knew he had won. Like always.
