Hunted By The Barbaric Vampire King

Luscious POV.

"I'm the queen of the world," yells Lovelace as she twirls in circles around the deck.

After, I took her for a spin on her new bike. She managed to convince me to take her for a ride on our yacht.

Her mother objected, of course, saying something about her tutor being on the way. So, I took it upon myself to call her tutor and give her the day off. Today is our day, I haven't seen my baby girl in months. Plus, my little love is as sharp as a whip.

One day of skipping school will not fry her brain, no matter what her mother wants her to believe. She will be just fine.

Besides, what my baby girl wants my baby, shall get just like she just said, she's the queen of the world, and giving my daughter what she wants is always worth it once I see that darling smile on her face.

It warms my frozen heart to see her living her best life.

I place my hands behind my neck as I lay back on the California king daybed on the deck as I begin to watch some horrible developed children's program on the flat-screen television while Lovelace is doing just that, living her best life.

For a second, my eyes admire the breathtakingly beautiful surroundings as the blazing sun disappears behind the horizon leaving forth an extraordinary light blue sky with some dainty see-through clouds. The strong and green smell of the ocean invades my sense of smell while I take it all in.

My eyes then linger on the crashing aqua-blue waves of the Atlantic Ocean surrounding us as we sail with the wind. It's the perfect evening for cruising, the perfect evening to set sail and the deck's wooden parkette and the strong white toile to cover this outdoor space, united with a shiny ceiling and steel poles is a remarkable grouping that seals the deal.

This moment in time is perfectly priceless. I place my eyes back onto my child, who is currently practicing her positions of the feet as her dance instructor likes to call them. Her lips are pulled back showing off pearly white teeth, smiling so bright as if it were Christmas morning. Lovelace pet husky Co-Co seems to be trying to keep up with her, circling her.

Her stylishly messy bronde hair blows with the wind. She looks so carefree and happy, so full of joy, and highly devoted to her task.

She's such a fresh breath of air. How did I ever become so blessed? My parents and siblings would have loved her. It pains my heart every time I think about the fact that she's the only blood relative that I have left.

It's unfair that she has to grow up without ever knowing her grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. They would have loved her with all of their hearts. Once, again my heart breaks into pieces just thinking about them.

That's exactly why I will never rest until every single member of the bank's bloodline is dead. They will pay for their relative's mistake in blood. I shall rid this earth of that filthy lineage, I will have my revenge. My monster's thirst for Banks's blood is never-ending, even now I can feel his fury stirring in my dark soul.

"Daddy, are you okay?" Lovelace questions knocking me out of my trance. My crimson eyes lock with her stormy grey ones.

Quickly gaining my composure, I take a deep breath and say, "Yes, princess! I'm fine."

"Are you sure? You don't look fine," she calls me out before running over and then jumping on the daybed to lay right next to me. Her rosemary and citrus scent invades my sense of smell and calms my monster down instantly.

"I wasn't, but I am now that you're next to me," I tell her the truth before wrapping my arms around her tiny little frame.

Lovelace giggles and blushes then hides her face in my chest. She does that whenever she is nervous. "You say that every time, your monster presents himself Daddy but what I don't get is why your monster presents himself so much." She places her hands underneath my cheeks and cups my face. "Why are you so angry?"
