"Andrei, you are in charge of keeping Gabriel under wraps. I want her to have some freedom but you and I know she also brings trouble to herself," Vali said watching Gabriel walk around the castle style manor.

"I will have three Rovers and a dozen of your best gypsies to guard her. I will personally ride with her."

"Hmm, good though I am going to add my personal touch. As much as I don't want to, I'm going to 'boost' her with a small amount of my blood," Vali sighed.

"May I ask why my Lord?"

"She's a golden blood and her rare blood type means she could die before I can get to her or get a blood transfusion in time. Gabriel is going to be an absolute nightmare but I would rather be bothered recapturing her versus burying her," the Vampire King replied.

"Golden blood? They exist?" Andrei inquired.

"They do, there is only 43 on record with all 61 Rh null and she is not on the list. Her father must have worked hard to keep her blood type a secret," the Shadow King smirked. "Her blood is divine and I don't plan on sharing anytime soon."

"Lord Draganu...this is none of my business but are you really going to kill her if she falls in love with you?" Andrei asked.

"Hmm, I will. I am All Father, as she calls me and it is my vampiric right as the First Nosferatu to spill even the most expensive and rare blood in the world..."

All Father turned and watched Gabriel walking with Baskerville or Bodu as she called him. That still was a sore spot with the Vampire King but the hound could keep her safe.

"Ingerasul meu! Come! I need to speak with you."

Gabriel sprinted up to him to stand in front of him. "How do you like it here draga mea?"

"It's beautiful Kazikli Bey...may I ask why?"

"Perhaps spend the holidays here? Or Vienna?" he asked tipping her head with his fingers under her chin.

"Wherever you choose is fine..."

"That is not reassuring about today..." his hand moved quickly from her chin to her throat and lifted her off the floor. "Don't betray my limited trust in you!"

Gabriel stared at him and gasped like a fish out of the water but didn't struggle. Most would have squirmed and grabbed his arm to attempt a futile fight to break free. Vali growled and rolled his eyes. He set her down and scooped her up in his arms as she began to fill her lungs with precious air. The Vampire sat down on a couch.

"Fuck girl! Everyone else would be dead but you hang in my hand like a sad kitten," Vampire King grumbled. "Shit! You're turning me into a softie baby girl."

Gabriel coughed "Sorry Kazıkli Voivode..."

"You are not sorry!" Vali growled in her ear. "Well, you're mostly sorry or you couldn't pull that look off. What am I going to do with you Draga mea?"

"Aah... do me?" Gabriel giggled.

The Vampire chuckled,"Such the dirty little mind you have so I must oblige you of course."

"Oh no! Lord Draganu! That's not a good look on your face! I was trying to improve your mood with a cute pun is all considering..."

"Too late.." the  Vampire said, throwing her over his shoulder and headed to a room off the lobby area.
