Royal Blood

" This child will be the death of me."

Says Loretta while exhausted trying to find the hidden girl throughout the house. The common occurrence of the girl's disappearance always sends shivers to her spine.

And how come it would be different?

She would be held accountable for even the most insignificant scratch on the precious girl's skin. Nonetheless, the girl is special. The girl is the most special. Through her veins runs the noblest and most powerful blood of the first and most important vampire families.

The Leclaire Family.

The power and influence of this family began around medieval times. Their reign was powerful and influential. The family members were held tight by their tradition and the iron fist of their eldest member the feared vampire, Nicholas Leclaire. It was like one family divided into two sides. The human and the vampire side. Only the most important members knew about the existence of the dark side who reigned the immortal world during the night.

Nicholas's rules were not ones to be forgotten or ignored. He only allowed the human members to marry pre-selected royal people to keep his kingdom growing. The best ones would be selected to be transformed into vampires in a ritual called Embrace. So far he only chose three members before mysteriously disappearing Theodore, Leonel and Serena.

Theodore assumed the family leadership and over the years he embraced three royals. Erich, Richard and later on Lilith.

Time after time everything changed and the vampires decided to make their existence a secret. Ruling from backstage using the humans as mere pawns to achieve their best interests.

However one evening the controlled world of the Leclaires is surprised by the news of an unplanned child. A child that will shake their foundation and make them reevaluate everything they considered to be the truth.

How a vampire who for so long has been disconnected from his human emotions can raise a child?
