In the depths of France, where flowers decay but never die, two fledgeling Vampires are brought before the Court of the Unwilting. 

Lafayette had the life he'd always wished for. Adventures behind, profits ahead. A wife at his hip, alongside a bag of coins. It was all going well. That is, until he met the vampire.

Now drawn into a series of political games and violent choices, one question reigns supreme above any other - who can you trust, when death itself becomes a game?

When children beg and bleed, when doctors drink the blood of their own patients, and when Countesses scheme, all that's clear in this hazy dream is this: you either drink, or you drown...

The King's Queen  by AllTheSpilledTea
37 parts Complete Mature
#7 in vampire #1 in queen The world has gotten boring to him after living for many centuries, through many generations. He thought of it as a curse. His gift was anything but a gift, in his opinion. He loved killing people. He always has. He enjoyed seeing the life being drained out of them, quite literally. He always drank every last drop of their life essence, he didn't have mercy. Though he was the king there was something he could never have unlike others of his kind. A soulmate. He hadn't been turned or born from vampire parents. No, he was born a monster from human parents. The first of his kind. Why he was born like it, he didn't know. He didn't care. All he knew was that he wanted to die already, since he had no mate to look forward to. He lived because he couldn't die, at least not physically. He had no reason to live, but many reasons to die and even though he tried many times by many methods, none of them suceeded. He staked himself, on multiple occasions. It felt like a needle piercing his skin. He hung himself. He didn't die, but he hung there, very much conscious. He went on the gillotine. It made his body dissapear and reappear in the same spot he was born in. He took his heart out. He grew one back. He bled out. His blood regenerated. He used silver stakes. They burned his flesh. He overdosed. It did nothing since drugs, alcohol and other dangerous things do absolutely nothing to him, except get him under the influence to a certain level. But none of them filled the emptiness in his heart. He just needed her. But all he got were unimportant girls he used and forgot about. He never felt anything for them. He couldn't. But then on that day while he was walking around a small town's forest, he felt the emptiness slowly being filled up a bit. He stood there in shock. He couldn't believe it. He almost cried of happiness, right then and there. He had her. He had a mate. His mate. His one and only mate. His Queen.

He looked over at me in the dimness, fingers loose in my grip. "You are hurting me," he said, without interest. He had caked powder on his already pale skin, all of one shade except for points made by a hot pencil. Though it was no longer the mode at court, the new fashion more ostentatious and overdrawn, he still favored it, and as I did. My fingers crept up his wrist. I felt rough punctures, half healed and raw, a scattering of them, and I pulled. Laurent could not resist, weakened by the drawing of his blood. My vocal cords had been severed by the younger one's teeth, and so I could not speak, but I pushed up his sleeve, the luxury of his white linen, and found his arm colored like a polluted river. I touched the bites with my fingertips, ten, fifteen, twenty. "I have felt your judgment already," L whispered, trying to pull his arm back, "I have felt it these now two hundred years. Judgment judgment. Cry not. Is it pity? You are a cold thing, without heart, to judge me for what I do. Prideful toad." His arm muscles worked against my grip beneath his blood bruised skin. "Unhand me. Wretched, lye-broken flesh." After a time, he made a sound like a trapped fox, a dying child's keen, and gave up, lying back on the bed such that his hair fell across my face. My other hand found his neck and stroked him. "You will not know what it feels like, good heart," he said to me, softly, doing me one of his gentle nips of an insult, "for love to change you in an instant." He relaxed under my stroking, and his tone softened. "I only meant to help him die." ** After his untimely death, the story of the vampire "L" comes together. Devotees tell the story from many points of view across history, painting a portrait of a man crushed by great loves, desperation, and the indifferent march of time. featured 3/9/16 complete 8/31/16 Editing, as of 5/11/2018.

BLOODLINES OF FATE by NicoleNewby0
34 parts Complete Mature
Bloodlines of Fate Caitlin Brioche always believed she was just an ordinary girl-until the truth came crashing down around her. For sixteen years, she lived under her grandmother's watchful eye, sheltered from the outside world, never understanding why she was kept hidden. But secrets have a way of unraveling, and when Caitlin finally steps beyond the confines of her small-town life, she discovers the chilling reality of her family's past. A curse, generations old, runs through her blood. A darkness that has haunted her ancestors now awakens within her, threatening to consume everything she knows. As Caitlin's reckless thirst for freedom leads her into dangerous territory, she finds herself entangled in a world she never believed existed-a world of shadows, secrets, and creatures of the night. At the center of it all is Hunter-a brooding, dangerously alluring vampire whose presence both terrifies and excites her. He awakens something deep inside her, an undeniable hunger that has nothing to do with fear. But as their passion ignites, another truth is revealed. With enemies lurking in the darkness, Caitlin is thrust into a battle she never asked for. Ancient forces want her dead. Powerful creatures seek to use her for their own sinister purposes. And the two men who now dominate her life-one her lover, the other her blood-will do anything to keep her safe. As her world spins out of control, Caitlin must decide: Will she run from her fate, or will she embrace the darkness within? Some love is forbidden. Some bloodlines are cursed. And some destinies... are inescapable.
So You Used to Be Human - Book 3  (Original Version) by iamRodneyVSmith
52 parts Complete Mature
CURRENTLY BEING RE-WRITTEN AS PART OF THE "HOW NOT TO VAMPIRE" SERIES) It's the week from Hell as Bob tries to save his ex-girlfriend Jaime from certain death... by turning her into a vampire. Needless to say, she doesn't quite agree with this plan and what follows is an epic journey in the making as Bob and Jaime try to track down the one vampire who might know how to turn Jaime back into a human. Oh yeah, and Bob's sometime-stalker-ex-girlfriend Beatrice is trying to kill them. Book 1: SO I MIGHT BE A VAMPIRE Book 2: SO I'M A VAMPIRE... NOW WHAT? Book 3: SO YOU USED TO BE HUMAN Book 4: SO YOU WANT TO KILL A VAMPIRE (now in drafts to return in Fall 2019?) Wattpad original: SO YOU MIGHT BE A VAMPIRE (799K reads, featured, #2 in Humor) ########## This was originally Book 2 of the series, but it's now Book 3 since SO I'M A VAMPIRE... NOW WHAT has been created to be Book 2. We've done a bit of editing and SO YOU MIGHT BE A VAMPIRE is now two books instead of one. Unfortunately, this means that Book 3 (this one) is finished before Book 2. So if you;re confused, sorry. If you're willing to wait a year and read the new book 2 first as it comes out on Wattled, then kudos to you, but to be honest, this book is awesome, so go ahead and read it now. Or not. Entirely up to you. Hilarity? Hell yes. Vulgar humour and excessive use of all examples of vulgar language that Bob can think up? You got it!
