The Gift

Lord Marcus was currently at a judgment ceremony with his father vampire, and he hated being there for multiple reasons.

His father Lord Scott is noble pure blood, which means they are a part of the first set of vampires to walk the earth, so they are automatically given the title Lord before their names and given a part of the country to rule. “I will like him executed.” Lord Scott said with no emotion. He is just stripping people of their freedom. Lord Marcus said to himself scrunched up his nose in disgust. Lord Scott was cruel to humans and to his own kind not giving any regard to justice or not. As the man begged for his life Lord Scott just said to the guards with a straight face “Take him away.”

I hate being here, I just want to stay in my room and read a novel, but I have no choice because I am an only child. Marcus said to himself.

Marcus must become the ruler of the south division because he has no choice, it is the law.

I sometimes wonder when my mom was alive how did she stand him?

she was nothing like him.

Lord Scott’s late wife and Lord Marcus’ mother died three years ago in a car crash.

Marcus was then shaken out of his thoughts when another prisoner was brought in, it was a lady. The lady was a lowborn vampire, Marcus could tell by her clothes and her feral eye color because of lack of blood. In the vampire society money is key if you are poor living would be difficult, if a vampire doesn’t have the money to buy a pet or to buy blood itself or have any animals to feed on, that vampire will lose its mind and find blood then return to normal not remembering the events from before. But for a poor vampire they would have gotten use to not having any blood and slowly wither away.

“Please no .....please no I have a sick mother and a son a... please I beg you my lord .... free me ........spare me I wil..... she was sick I needed the blood I am so sorry for stealing” The lady pleaded but got cut off by Lord Scott.

Marcus frowned as his heart sank in despair, he felt sympathy for her. “Just shut up!” Lord Scott said in a demanding tone clearly getting annoyed. She knew that nothing she did could save her from a punishment Lord Scott had for her and that made her cry even more.

“I will go easy on you.” Lord Scott said blankly. Marcus looked over at him in complete shock sitting up in his seat.

He never goes easy what the bloody hell is going on.

“You will get life in prison.” Lord Scott said standing up fixing his coat getting ready to leave.

I knew it!

The prisoner started to cry even more.

I must stop this foolishness.

“No,” Marcus said to his father standing up.

“You will not give her life in prison father, that is just despicable!” Lord Marcus walk to the lady taking off her handcuffs. “You will get 20 days community service, the work you do within those twenty days will pay back your dept for the blood you stole. She gave Lord Marcus a bright smiled and before she got up she kissed his feet and said, “You will make a fine ruler, Lord Marcus, may the gods bless you.” then she ran out of the room to do her service.

Lord Scott groaned and sighed at Marcus. He was now pissed, I can tell he is, I can feel the room getting tenser as he released his pheromones reminding me that he is my superior.

“Leave!” Lord Scott shouted at the guards in pure anger, they nodded respectively and walked out of the room then he looked at Marcus.

“How can you be the ruler of the south division if you are so soft-hearted Marcus? why did you let her go? she was also a part of that rebellion against me and that is a serious law she broke rebelling against nobles, she should of be put to death Marcus!” Lord Scott shouted standing up. “You are weak Marcus, and you are a disgrace to this kingdom, if you don’t have a firm back to the south they are going to want to rebel and they will over through you.”

“I really don’t care father,” Marcus said walking away.

“You will make people rule you with that soft heart of yours..... you should rule them little boy.” Lord Scott shouted at Lord Marcus. “You know I won’t do that and I will find a better way to rule the south when it’s my time,” Marcus said. “When are you going to find a wife to rule alongside you?” Lord Scott asked.

“Dad I have Italia for that ...“Marcus fixing his crown laughing again. Then Lord Scott stopped and looked at his son then said, “I’ll kill you; you know that right.” “I was just joking father.” Marcus said smiling walking to the door of the room. “I am sorry dad I can’t be strict like you father, but you were going to kill the lady for no reason, you know what father, I just can’t be like you ok so just let me be, tomorrow I’m turning eighteen, after that, I will try not to be so soft ok,” Marcus said walking off. “Rule with such a weak aura, how can you be a pure blood with weak abilities.” Lord Scott said walking to his car. “When you arrive home prepare for your birthday, you will be called out when we are ready to leave to your aunt’s house for your party tomorrow.” He said then stepped into his car driving off.

“Manipulation is not the only power I have,” Marcus whispered to himself as one of his servants opened the car door for him.

Marcus let out a frustrated sigh and walked into his room. Why did I have to be the soft heart one, why did I have to take pity on the weak no why did he have to be my father, why did my mother have to die, I hate everything.

If you break a rule you die. That’s all he talks about.

…………………….

" Lord Marcus.” Marcus heard a low voice.

Marcus opened his eyes to a dozen of my maids standing at the door. “Happy 18th birthday!!!” They all shouted in sync holding a cake with 18 candles on it.

“Blow them out Lord Marcus.” One of the maids said very happily, Marcus always loved when the workers around the house was happy, it made him happy too, it made him feel alive. Marcus sat up properly on his bed and blew out the candles, “We made this cake just you as a gift and as a thank you for being so nice to us.” A maid said smiling.

Then they all smiled with some showing their fangs.

“I......well we all wish you many many many many many many many many more to come Lord Marcus.” Another said looking down at her feet.“Thank you.” Marcus said with a smile they screamed in joy because he doesn’t smile much. They celebrated by eating cake and talking they even told Marcus that they all brought gifts and that they are in the fridge and that made Marcus eyes glow bright red because he knows that means more blood.

“We manage to get five packs of my favorite AB negative Lord Marcus.” A maid said. “Thank you but you didn’t have to, AB negative is quite expensive.” Marcus said Standing up helping them pack up the plates and cups.

“No, we don’t care you are the best thing about this job Lord Marcus.” Another made said taking the plates from him and pointing to the bed telling him to sit down. After all the cleaning only one made was left “The king said you should be ready by 9:30 to be at your aunt for your party by 10:50, have a nice day Lord Marcus.” She said then left.

Briyanna’s POV

I woke up to the sound of my cage being banged “Wake the fuck up you piece of shit; the king is coming to buy one of you so be on your best behavior.” Tagashi the pet store owner said walking along the cages waking the other pets up then walked out of the room possibly to the next room to tell the other pets what he told us.

I have been here since I was born, waiting to be sold off to a vampire. We human's whole existence now is just to be merchandise. I was told by some of the older humans that I have sometimes shared cages with that we inhabited the planet first, but we overrun by the vampires, but she said she wasn’t sure because stories can be altered. I started training right after I turned two learning to speak, then obey then when I turned twelve they decide what kind of pet I become: food if your that worthless, house workers and that comes in categories also like a gardener, washer, cleaner but we don’t cook for safety purposes, they have vampire maids for that, then from that situation, you now have the sex slaves which is me and the other girls in the room , we have to do training again like what to do in a situation, well we mostly watch videos of people have sex then we get tests.

We don’t do anything physical because the buyers like the virgins.

Moreover, we are also place by how rare our blood is.

The door then creaked open “King this is the sex slave room #2 and these girls have a rare blood type.” Tagashi said has they both walked in, the king looked around walking across cages I have heard a lot of stories about him and most well all of them are bad, I did not want him to buy me. I pushed back into my cage trying to hide, he was so close to my cage and it scared me, he then stopped and slowly stepped towards my cage looking at the paper that has my information on it.

lord please don’t make him pick me please don.......

“I will have her, “he says, my heart sank, and I started to cry, I heard sighs in relief from the other girls that they weren’t in my position.

Tagashi then pulled me out of the cage and I screamed but the king just stood and watched.

I was on my knees; the king then gave Tagashi a black and gold collar he put it around my neck then the king said to me “Stand.” In a dark voice, I did as told fearing for my life, the energy he gives off is suffocating.

“That will be $99,000.“Tagashi said then the king paid him and we left, when he opened the door a man with a black umbrella covered the king as we walked to the truck car thing. “Go in.” the king said, and I obeyed I sat at the far end so we didn’t have to touch and make him uncomfortable so I wouldn’t get punished. He sat at the other side of the car fixing his crown.

“Take us home.” He said to the man that was in the driver’s seat with a stern voice.

“Yes sir.” and as he said that the car drove off.

“You are a gift for my son’s eighteenth birthday, he will be your master and you will not disobey him, you will pleasure him when he pleases and if you don’t you will be punished understood.” He said and I nodded in return but that was a bad idea. He grabbed my head and slammed it into the door, then he repeated himself raising an eyebrow “Understood?”

“Yes sir.” I stuttered feeling my head throb then he freed my head from his grip. Now I know firsthand that this is a man you should not play with, he slammed my head onto the door with no expression on his face.

“At home, he will provide you with the rest of the rules,” he said softly it was like he was in my head I felt weak, and my mind was telling me I must obey. “Yes sir,” I said softly then he smirked.

...............

When we arrived at the castle he stood against the car with my leash in his hand and i knelt next to him while three women came up to us .

“This is Marcus’ gift keep her, give her food and put a black bow on her or something, I will call you and then you will bring her to his room, do not communicate with her if not needed understood.” He said the disappeared in thin air that must be one of his powers.

The ladies with red eyes held my leash and walked me to a room.

I have never heard of the king’s son before I do not know what to expect, but anything that comes goes because I am the slave not them they give the orders I obey, I must always obey so I don’t get punished.
