Clear Blindness

Chapter 2

Vincent P.O.V

   In the past there was nothing that would have been able to cause me to feel anything close to what I am at this very moment, this flicker of time. Make me feel the intense grief, loss, and mostly anger, that's flowing through me like blood coursing naturally through the veins of a human.

I used to not feel, used to not care and love no one. I was soulless, a cold creature of the night that killed without thoughts or regards to anyone but myself whether I was in the right or wrong. My parents, Coraline and Greyson, had tried to stop me multiple times from making any mistakes that I would regret in the future. It did not work. Nothing did because there was nothing that could tame the inner demon that raged like a wild fire.

It never seizes to amaze me how quickly a person can change in an instant. From one moment being cold and heartless to warm and loving. I would never had believed anyone if they had told me I would change into a whole other different person.

And that is what happened to me, I became a creature worthy of feeling, of emotion. It all started nineteen years ago when Jane – Ellie's mother – was in labor. Her mate, Gregory, and the doctor and my parents were running late. Too late. And I had the sudden urge to deliver their child into the world so I did. But, everything changed after I held their newborn baby girl in my arms.

I arrived at Coraline and Grayson's kingdom – they are the Vampire King and Queen – to inform them that I was going to take their crown. What I didn't expect was to find my Beloved.

At first I didn't know what was transpiring, but then I came to my senses as my Inner Soul awoke from the inside; the true power and strength of a pure blooded and royal vampire. The need to protect the tiny bundle in my arms was some thing I'd never felt in the one hundred fifty years I'd lived.

I remember she just looked up at me, and with one look I was immediately captured by her intense green eyes staring into me, the adorable chubby cheeks, and full pink lips that soon spread to an amazing little smile.

My once cold heart filled with warmth and love so strong it was hard to breathe. She owned my heart. She owned me.

I knew. . .I just knew in that split second that I would do do anything, be anything, for my precious Beloved without a hint of hesitation.

A low growl slipped through my parted lips as memories from what had happened after came crashing back.

They took her away from me after realizing we were meant to be together. They took away my most prized possession!

I snarl and get up while punching the wall with flying fists.

They took my Elizabeth, but how could I blame them? I was a monster. A monster who may have killed his own beloved. . . .

Chest heaving, breathing rapid, body shaking, I lean my forehead against the wall and clench my jaw so hard I was surprised it didn't break.

From that moment on I had promised myself to never stop searching, looking, for my heart. Because without Ell I had no heart to pump life through me. I have nothing to live for.

"Alpha Vincent?" The pack address's me by Alpha or King, they no longer just call me Vincent 'cause that's not me as long as my Elizabeth is gone.

I clear my throat roughly, walk to the door, slowly opening it. "Yes, Beta Anthony."

There's an odd look on his face as he looks me over. "King Vincent," I glance to the side at his younger brother, "we would appreciate it if you gave us permission to hold a pack meeting tonight to give a few words to the pack."
