Eternal Reign (Age of Vampires, #1)

by Caroline Peckham

He cocked his head to one side, amusement brightening his gaze to liquid moonlight.

Okay are they gonna fall in love first?? Like Darcy and Orion or are they gonna be the Tory and Darius of this series??

The door flew open and Erik stepped back into the room

YOU ASSHOLE WE WERE JUST ABOUT TO GET SOME ANSWERS

I was shocked he let me get away with it at all.

you're the prettiest thing he's ever seen that's why.

“A nickname? I was naming my new pet.”

Savage.

“It is easy to create perfection out of a creature that is already so close to it,”

Daddy

“Because the prince you choose to pair with will sire you.”

Whaaaaaaat

“You wish to make me beg?”

i wish that greatly.

“There is nothing in this world which will ever see me on my knees,”

EXCEPT HER.

he growled, the word about as far from begging as he could get.

STILL COUNTS

“It is my duty as a slayer to protect your kind,”

Way to ruin the moment my dude

“Come on out, poppet,”

What is he a pirate???

I ducked beneath her grasping hands once more and slashed at her with Fury.

I feel a training montage coming on

Her cerulean eyes lit up, filling me with hope.

Are the Belvederes all turned vampires? Can you be born a vampire? Is this how they continue their line?

“So, are you going to ask me, or are we going to keep pretending I didn't hear that entire conversation?”

He gets right down to business doesn't he?

“You're going to pick Fabian at the choosing ceremony. But before that, you're going to make him want you so badly, he'll be begging you to pick him.”

Is he trying to pull a prank on his brother?

“You’d know if it was, and trust me, you would be more than willing.”

Daddy

“Perhaps you’re the one who needs a good fuck, drakaina hjarta, you harbour a lot of anger in your soul.”

DADDY and what is this nickname??

At first, I assumed it was some kind of wound, but the shape was too perfect, too purposeful.

SO it's like the Hunter's Mark from Vampire diaries... The more vampires she kills the bigger her mark will be.

If the cause demands you take a husband and produce more children to inherit the gifts of our kind, then you would be obligated to do it.”

Isn't that just him though?

“Why would I want to manipulate some ignorant halfblooded girl into carrying my children?”

First of all, rude. You'd be lucky to get in her pants.

“If I take on your training, then no such thing could ever take place between us anyway.

So he'd be like her sponser or something?

If I wanted to fuck you, I could have you begging beneath me within the hour.”

...... We're still mad at you but.... Daddy.

I was pretty sure being an Earl meant that he’d been a leader,

Ooooorrrr it means he was the dude from that one show

He looked at me in a way that I had never seen myself, my golden hair and sun-kissed skin almost seeming to glow, my face more beautiful than I had ever thought myself, the stubborn glint in my eyes a challenge that beckoned him closer even as he felt an overwhelming urge to protect me, but I couldn’t tell why.

I already said this... He wants the v

If you're not wearing this by the time I knock on your door this morning, you're going to meet my angry side. And no, you haven't met him yet.

......daddy

“I lock myself in a coffin and watch TV on my tablet.”

lol he's got jokes

Snatching my hand, he tugged me toward the open carriage door and gestured for me to go first.

Why does this feel like jealousy??

“Ornithologist,”

I prefer birdologist. I'll be using that from now on.

“This is the New Empire State building,”

Did they destroy the old one?

“Yes, perhaps that is an adequate choice of word.”

Or is it not enough???

I was trapped, pushing through swathes of white material as a man laughed. There was no joy in his mocking tone.

Is she seeing Montana's memories?

“Killer of a Thousand Souls.”

what an odd way to spell daddy

“If I do one thing with my time on this earth, then it shall be to remove him from it.”

It's gonna be real awkward when this mother fucker becomes your brother in law....

Being forced to kill his own father…

Girlllllllll just you wait

Fantasies were only your friend when you were in them.

“You can buy my fear with threats, but respect is earned,”

Mommy

“You do realise you have to marry her if she chooses you at the ceremony?”

Wait....... What?

Erik snarled in a warning, but I wasn’t sure why.

Because she's jealous. Duh.

Erik's grip on me was growing too uncomfortable to bear, and I looked up to bathe in his embarrassment, though ,unfortunately, he showed no visible signs of it.

That's because Daddy is realizing he wants you fr himself.

“Perhaps she won't want to spend the day with you after finishing the night with me.”

JEALOUSY TURNING SAINTS INTO DECEIT

“I'm not sure, your highness. Perhaps you sat on it with your royal ass.”

The balls on this crazy bitch. I love it.

“Any cause you think you're fighting for is an illusion. Your kind are safe, housed and given free food. All we require of you is blood donations. Is that really so bad?”

WHY CAN'T SHE JUST COMMUNICATE WITH HIM UGH. I hate this. But also I get it. He's gonna have to go to Realm G on his own.

I heard Magnar’s deep voice raised in a challenging growl, the sound of it sending a ripple of energy right down to my core.

Okay. I think they're gonna bone before Montana and Erik. She is so fucking hot for this dude.

Impossibly, there were no more guards on watch here, no fanged wraiths descending on me in my bid for freedom.

Babe. He is so obviously letting you go and he will be waiting.

Perhaps it was sheer luck, or else some divine intervention from the universe,

Ugh. She's so stupid.

“Don’t let anyone tell you the moon’s out of your reach, baby girl. If you want that big bulbous motherfucker, then you reach up into the sky and you take it.”

I bit my tongue to force some clarity into my head and hastily drew my arms back over his head,

Dumb bitch. He was literally asking you to shove your tongue down his throat.

“Ask me to take that pretty mouth of yours and quiet the lashing of your tongue.”

Daddy

Someone collided with me so hard from behind that I was thrown onto the ground, the weight of them falling over me and pinning me in place.

Three guesses as to who that was

“I don't want another human,”
