The Alpha Vampire

I never have before experienced excitement and yet been more terrified at the same time as I do now. It is truly amazing how the things you desire can bring you to your knees. In saying things, I do mean a woman, that one such a creature can break down your defenses. I always believed that a woman should be my undoing, but this is an undoing that I do welcome. And as I stand here, I have never been so sure about anything in this life and the lifetime before.

But let me tell you a story of a man so lost and incomplete that he dwelled for years in trying to find that one thing that he eluded him so, love. The man that tells you that they do not desire to experience love and not be love in return is not only a liar and a fool. The craving to be loved is a desire that every mortal, and believe me when I say, that every Vampire does have.

Now how do you love? You love with your heart and your head, your instinct and your experience. Should you lack any of these, there shall always be another way; you shall find a way to complete that perfect love that dreams and fantasy are made of. If you do not live with wanting that fairytale ending for yourself, then what is it worth dreaming for in the first place.

Does love come easy for a mystical creature? Well, not truly so, for if you think that it shall be easier to find that true love between a realm that is made of miracles and the unexplained, it is so far from the truth. With a being that could most possibly be considered as perfect, the one you seek shall have to be beyond spectacular. So is it not so unusual that creatures from our realm shall seek the love of a mortal that brings so many unknown and amazing experiences to your life.

I never did think that the evening I enter that pesky little Hunter’s establishment that I shall find the meaning of why I have existed for all these years. It is true what they say that everything that you have done in your life has lead up to this very moment, this very hour, this very minute.

So this ceremony that was not supposed to have been a wedding has now become one very much so. The only thing that we lack is the presence of a priest, and do believe me, if there is one that pops out these walls that Lilith shall have hell to pay.

But everything else except Cassidy and me has now seized to exist, for, in less than a minute, she shall appear around the corner, and I shall set sight on my bride. And I do know that Lilith would have gone to such lengths to present me with not only the woman of my dreams but one that fairytales are made of.

…Cassidy POV…

And so we are having this ceremony that has now turned into a wedding in little less than a minute. I am standing around the corner of the ballroom waiting to enter and walk up to my groom. Now, if you were human, there should have been a fiancé before, but it seems that these Vampires do things very much in their own way. I would even go as far as in saying that they have created this ceremony that is not a wedding, for they are indeed scared that they shall need to spend eternity with one person alone.

Now before I walk into the scariest experience of my love, let me do tell you about a woman that has been terrified her own lifetime to spent it with only that one person. I did crave the love of only one man, yet I looked for all the reasons why I should not settle with this man. I was perhaps ridiculous in my requirements of such a man, but should you not be since this shall be the one that you woke up every day? I think for a mortal, these things do carry more seriousness as you only have so many years to live, and making a wrong decision can set you for a rather miserable and unfulfilled time until your death.

So it is with confidence that I can say that the moment I laid my eyes on Lucas Lecarde, that I did look at him to be such a man in my life. Of course, I did not expect it to be for eternity but does a full life for a mortal not mean eternity for them. Regardless of how long eternity is, I found that man to fill that space in that night in Jacob’s pub. I would even go as far as to say that it was fate that brought us together that nights for I really did not frequent that establishment that much.

I can go even as far as to say that should Lucas have asked me to turn under normal circumstances, well, not that it is a normal thing to do, but I would have said yes. My life did not have much meaning until he walks into it that night in that alley where he brought me to my knees. I do believe that I always knew that a man should be my undoing, and he did break all my defenses down.

And the minute that has now arrived that I shall step into a new beginning in my immortal life.

…Lucas POV…

That is when I see her, elegant and exquisite as if she is floating on air. Her skin is glowing from the afternoon sun that is falling through the window from outside. The curves of her body are softly covered in layers of chiffon. The hint of lace does captive the beauty she holds in its own perfect way. Her long locks of blonde hair are neatly tucked into spirals of curls that are flowing in and out of each other like a perfect masterpiece. I can nearly smell the sweet scent of jasmine and vanilla as she comes closer up to me. But what captivates me the most is those velvety Iips, and let is not forget those stilettos.

And as she comes to stand next to me, a small tear starts to tickle the corner of my eye. Beauty indeed lies in the eye of the beholder, and at present, beauty is flooding my sense of vision.

“My beloved, I am at a loss for the perfect word. If I thought that your beauty could not go beyond compare, I would say that I have been proven wrong.”

“And I much say you are wearing that rather well.”

“Well, I am not shy to say that I am wearing a ball of nerves somewhat better.”

“So how does this go from here, for I am very pleased to see that there is a priest present.”

“Oh, just tell me how perfect I am, and I shall tell you all the reasons why I want to be with you for the rest of eternity.”

She only but chuckles me nervously; well, we both did not quite know what happens from here, so we will go into this as blind in as we went on the first day we met.

But as they say, love is blind, and I am going to be the fool that rushes into it.

…Cassidy POV…

Well, I guess that we are going into this blindly, but not truly blindly, for I know what I feel for him. I have never been asked to confine it in a few sentences, in a string of words, broken down into syllables that should escape over my lips easily. I guess you can put it down to fate.

So it is without even having to hesitation that I take his big strong hands into my tiny ones that are trembling visibly to the eye. But the moment he envelopes them, all the anxiety and nervousness slip away. His smiles grow even fonder around the corner of his lips. Those big brown eyes sparkle like crystals in the sun. And I know this is right where I need to be.

“Lucas, you were built for me. We were meant together; you are the sea under my sky. You are the sun to my horizon. I knew the second I met you that there was something about you that I needed. It turns out it wasn’t something about you at all; it was just you. I belong to you. I had belonged to you since the beginning, since before I even knew that I did. It only took one minute to fall in love with you; if I only had one minute to live, then I will spend all sixty seconds to tell you how much I love you. Of all the things I have started, loving you is the one that I never want to finish. Here, now, a million lifetimes from this one, I will love you.”

…Lucas POV…

Now, if the day was not overwhelming enough as it is, those words coming from my beloved’s lips have laid deeply in the deepest passages of my heart. I do not even think that my words can compare to hers. But it is not a question of comparing, it is what the heart feels, and even though our hearts might not feel love the same way, it is love that we both feel. So I do not even know what to say, but I know where to start. And as I lace my fingers between hers, I start to fumble at my words.

“My beloved, ever since our first kiss, the only sweetness I crave is the one that comes from your lips. My soul made love to your soul long before our bodies met. When I first laid my eyes on you, I recognized you. You held my future in your hands. It is because of you that I am deliriously happy. You make my cheeks ache from the smile you put on my face. I am completely at home anywhere you are. My love for you spans over the lines of my past, present, and future. You are what I love remembering, what I love experiencing, and what I love looking forward to. I would have exchanged my immortality if it meant that I could only touch you once. I want you to be the first thing I touch in the morning and the last thing that I taste.”

And with that being said, that tear that tickled my eye has not rolled down my face. It seems that I am going to have some explaining to do after this. So as we get lost in this moment, I take my beloved for one of the very rare moments in front of all present and pull her slowly closer to me and wrap my arms around her shoulders. She loses herself in the warmth of my embrace. The world around us melts away; I never want this moment to end.

Once the emotions have faded away to a normal pace, we find ourselves seated to catch much needed breath. I can say that I have seen my beloved happy before, but she truly shines from the pure joy she feels. But then, I remember.

“Oh god, the rings.”

I go to my beloved and kneel down in front of her, presenting the ring I wish for her to wear to complete this eternal bond. And as I slip it gently onto her finger, I can not only see how relieved she is that it is not some unsightly thing, but it does not compare to her beauty. When she slides mine into place, I cannot say that this Vampire Master is now wed.

With the festivities dying down much later, I have the very one and only Damien coming up to me to whisper a few words in my ear.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
