Richardo's POV:

I looked at Paris and purred softly as I heard the carriage stop finally, pulling up in front of a large castle. Hopefully... Laurence isn't going to trick us and turn us in to our parents. I can't bare to be separated from him. I love him too much. Our parents can't understand that, and they'd tear us apart from one another and force us away from each other. I can't allow it.... I held him close and buried my face into his neck, breathing in his sweet comforting scent. He is mine, and no one else's.... I want to be with him for eternity, and not just because he's my mate. I sincerely love him. I don't care if he's male- it makes me love him more for it. I gave his neck a soft kiss and smiled. I'd do anything for him. "Paris, we're here," I whispered in his ear then pulled away from his neck to look him in the eyes then gave a sigh. "Let's go see him. I'm sure he's waiting for us patiently. He must know we're here already." I opened the carriage door then climbed out first, looking towards the castle then reached back for him. I took his hand and helped him out like a gentleman before I held him close, putting an arm around his waist as I kept a tight grip on his hand. "I hope he won't trick us," I whispered then glanced behind us, seeing Dante, Victor, Val, Laura, and Reuben getting out of their carriages. Victor had a look in his eyes that made me a little concerned, looking somewhat starved. He must not be getting enough from who we have with us. Dante probably isn't sharing Reuben because of Reuben being his mate... and Laura can only feed so many vampires before she gets sickly. She was already pale from the donations she's given, and she's been favoring feeding Val first when we go to feed from her.

"Well, we're here," Dante hummed out then smirked before he grabbed Reuben's hand and started to pull him up the stairs to the doors. "Come along, Reuben. Don't leave my side while we're here. I'd hate to lose you here." Victor closely followed them and gave a slight growl as he eyed Reuben's neck hungrily then smirked slowly like he was thinking about ripping him away from Dante for a taste. I shook my head then looked at Paris.

"We're going to have to do something about feeding Victor. He looks starved," I whispered to him then sighed. We could all do with some fresh, new blood. We've only been drinking from a few humans and each other... and the humans are getting tired out from supporting five blood thirsty vampires and a newborn. I hope Laurence will be able to feed Victor.... As we started up the steps of the castle, the doors opened to a few servants waiting on us.

"Master Laurence has asked of us to make sure you're fed before bringing you to him." A maid announced. "We have agreed to as long as you're kind. Master Laurence is waiting in his throne room." I looked up at them then nodded before I looked at Paris and held him close, pulling him towards the door by his waist as I looked the maids over.

"Thank you," I told the maid then glanced towards Victor as he looked at the maid hungrily and walked up to her. He looked down into her eyes then gave a soft purr before he took her wrist and gave it a gentle kiss and bit in quickly, starting to feed. "That didn't take him long," I whispered to Paris and laughed. "At least he's not tearing her apart. You should feed too," I murmured as I got him up the steps and looked towards another maid. "Could you please feed him?" I asked her and then moved my hands to his shoulders and held them. "He could use some fresh blood too."

"Of course. We're here for that," the maid said kindly and offered her wrist. Paris took it and started to drink from her- biting down deep to get as much as possible and be quick about it.

"I could use some fresh blood," Val said quickly and walked up to a butler waiting. She took his hand and brought it up to her mouth before biting him. Looks like she wanted something different from her human.

"Dante," Reuben husked out. "They smell so delicious." Dante looked at Reuben then at a maid.

"Come here," he purred softly to Reuben then moved him to the maid and gently took her wrist, bringing it up to his mate's lips. "Expose your fangs and bite down gently. Don't hurt her too bad, okay? She's not one of my maids, so don't upset them." He gave his mate a sweet look and kissed the top of his head before he rubbed Reuben's jaw, coaxing him to her. "This will be your first taste of human blood, won't it?" He hummed out thoughtfully. "You haven't had Laura's blood...." I shook my head at them then went towards a nearby butler, not wanting to go too far from Paris and then brought the butler close, leaning in towards his neck and bit down into it. I moaned softly from the new taste and gripped the front of his vest as I brought my fangs in deeper. He groaned a little but didn't push me away. I heard a roar nearby, shaking the ground around us that made my heart start to race. I widened my eyes then yanked away from the butler, looking for the sound then saw a man chasing a giant black dragon with chains.
