Eric's P.o.V.
When she came home , she unloaded all the information on me . The death of Sophie Ann , the blood share and him getting her drunk . She was exhausted when she arrived home . I fed her and she sat there in silence for a a small time while I got settled for bed .
"We need to re-clarify forming connections as a nymph " Olivia began .
"What do you mean ?" I asked and she looked at me .
"I feel him inside of . " she said calmly . "I know he can feel me "
Everything has gone to hell . This man was a puzzle I couldn't scratch . He knew who she was , he knew who I was . Which made me wonder who he was even more . Olivia watched me as I processed everything .
"We can't back out " I said . "You have to keep this going "
"So ... " she began .
"I will find the rules of the nymph so I will know how deep this bond goes and how to sever it . " I said .
"You mean if " she said .
"You already said you feel him " I said . "The bond is there we need to use it "
"So " she said . Her eyes pleading that she didn't have to do what she did tonight but she does . He wants her . She is the key .
"I'll get it figure out . You just relax " I said and we started down the steps to basement and I begin to undress and so does he . We lay beside each other in the bed . I press my body to hers lovingly and she embraces me and shakes her head against my chest .
"I can't " she says . "Jidenna will know "
I weighed my options. Feeling her skin against mine , the connection felt different . I looked at her and she looked at me , a tear running down her cheek . I wiped it away and we laid there till we fell asleep .
When we rose , she got in the shower and I went to make a few phone calls . I looked for Dr. Ludwigs number first and I called her first . She picked up on the first ring .
"You damned never let me be " she said . "What do you want ?"
"I have some questions on Nymphs " I said .
"Is this about the girl you keep holed up in your basement " she said . I rolled my eyes thinking of when Dr.Ludwig first met Olivia . 20 years ago , Olivia was poisoned by one of our enemies when we fought them and it left her mentally insane . She was chained into the basement until Dr. Ludwig had to cure her.
"She is not in the basement now that she is better " I said . She snorted in response . I continued . "I need to know about what blood sharing and the bonds do . She has been bonded to me by blood for a long time and now we have made the true connections but directly after was forced to feed off another vampire "
"Blood bonds can still be made . And might be even more powerful if the vampire is old enough. Like yourself" she said . "Sharing blood with another vampire will make a blood connection and if the sexual bond is made , can break your bond . Nymphs were traded as slaves in the olden days Mr. Northman . The relationships , although loyal , were made to be temporary. So for you to have kept a Nymph for so long is unheard of and because the rest are in hiding in the other realms . It is completely understandable you've kept her for so long , but Kings of the other realms gave Nymphs as peace treaties , it might be time to pass yours on .if she feeds from him 3 times she's -"
I hung up on her . What the fuck does she know. I made my way to the bedroom to see Olivia dressed . More formal then usual, in all white .
"You look good . Where are you going ?" I asked .
"To see Jidenna " she said . "He's sending the car . " she approached me and kissed me .
"Don't you think we should make a plan first . A lot jut happened ." I said , "I don't want you going back over there if he's going to have you feeding off of him "
"It's already done " she said . "I will keep Jidenna distracted while you Bill and Pam make a plan to follow through with , quickly" she said . "Or he will be the King " she shrugged .
"You say that nonchalantly . Don't tell me you want him to be King " I said and she shook her head at me .
"I want you to be King , Eric and that's what he wants to offer" she said . A honk sounds and she begins for the door and i looked at her .
"You mean we should take his deal ?" I asked. "We need to side with him?"
She looked at me and shrugged . "I don't know anymore Eric . We'll talk later " she placed kiss on my cheek . Then went out the door . I immediately call Dr. Ludwig back .
Olivia's P.o.V .
I approached Jidenna's feet and he smiled with glee when he saw me and and stood to his feet ."You look magnificent" he said as he pulled me closer and pressed his lips to my temple . I felt a peace flow over my body , I'd never felt before and he smiled at me . "How does Eric feel about the proposition "
"He's considering it . You know his life as it is now , is the simplest we've lived . Coming out the closet , has allowed us a new freedom " I explained . He nodded and smiled at me .
"That is true " he begins . "I trust you'll convince him to see the light " he said . I nodded and he smiled . "Lets have a drink ". A man comes from around the corner , with the usual pitcher and 2 large goblets . He sits it down in front of us and pours us both drinks . Jidenna handed me a drink and smiled at me. I sipped some and immediately felt warmness in my belly. There was vampire blood in this cup , I looked at him.
"Sophie Ann , is so sweet huh " he said and he took a large gulp . I began to sit the cup down but he grabbed my wrist before I set the cup down . We made eye contact and he immediately leaned forward , pressing his lips to mine . He kissed me deeply . I felt admiration all over my body as he kissed me . I began to forget what the problem was . He cupped my face and pulled away .
"Finish your drink first , love " he smiles sweetly and I put the glass to my lips again and try to control the tears from running down my face as I gulped down the sweet substance that was a mixture of the blood of Sophie Ann , and Jidenna .
