Infernal Creatures (Age of Vampires #3)

by Caroline Peckham

Twins of sun and moon will rise, When one has lived a thousand lives.

So this happened.

A circle of gold shall join two souls,

So this is Montana marrying Erik right?

how could I have realised what I’d been agreeing to when I made my decision?

MAYBE BECAUSE HE LITERALLY TRIED TO TELL YOU.

I’d been so stupid.

No shit Sherlock.

“You are not disposable to me,”

“You have awoken something in me I thought long dead, and I will not let you go because of it. No matter how much you torment or inconvenience me. I have laid claim to you, and I will not relinquish that claim now that you have chosen me in kind.”

“You're not just a courtier anymore, rebel. You are my fiancée. And if you want to be there, you will be.

He's handling this a lot better than i thought he would tbh

And if he’d been so against the idea of me taking the vow then he should have made the implications clearer.

Girl stfu he tried and you ignored him. This is on you.

drakaina hjarta.

I need to know what this means

Gammel kjærleik rustar ikkje.

Old love doesn't rust (or something along those lines)

My path always led me back to the bookcase, but after searching all over it, I had to accept it wasn’t there.

Does he have a secret room back there??

a book was a portal, and when life got tough, you only needed to enter one to forget your woes for a while.

“I’ve seen a picture of one of these before. It’s a cumpit,”

Determination gripped me as I tucked the blade into the back of my jeans and pulled my sweater over it.

Do you really think he won't notice it's gone???

The legend speaks of a magical ring, Andvaranaut, which held great power. It was one of many pieces of treasure possessed by Andvari, and the other gods often tried to steal it from him.

THIS IS HER MOTHERS RING I JUST KNOW IT

1000 YEARS AGO

Okay i'm gonna need curent time POVs here babes

It wasn’t really fair of us to mock her as we did, but my wife-to-be had become the subject of many such jokes recently.

You're also 17. So basically a fuckboy.

They almost seemed to know what we’d do before we knew ourselves.

Do they know about familiars yet?

But the air that flowed through the inch of space separating us felt alive with energy.

The moment her training is done is gonna be explosive

Do you know how many warriors have ever gotten me on my back like this?”

In or out of bed?

irrationally angry that Erik had declared I was free now when I clearly wasn’t.

I think you kinda might be pretty much free though....

“Yes, that’s it, I am a slave to it, your highness. It's the curse. It has taken root in me. Please help me recover.”

This is giving "yes Master, whatever you say Master"

“Stay here. No one goes in that room, no one watches, and no one comes with us, understood?”

He knows she has the sword....

Fabian roared as he locked me in his hold.

Oh shit.....

“I only said you would find it. Not that you could have it.”

That's awful. Fuck this lady.

“Oh yes, Valentina is long dead,”

So we're just gonna not mention that she's all grrr now?

drakaina hjarta?”

I finally googled it. This means dragon heart and tbh i should have figured that out before because duh.

I gazed out at the demonic figure in the road.

Is this Julius?

“Stop it. Why aren’t you being a good little maiden, singing my praises and stroking my ego? I like it when they do that. Go on, do that.”

This is totally Julius

“And hear me now, slayer. If you have left a single scratch on her when I hunt you down, I will ensure you know the kind of agony that only exists in the merciless depths of the afterlife. There is no path treacherous enough to keep me from her.”

Daddy

That’s a slayer dick. Blessed by the gods. It even glows in the dark.”

I like him. But he better not try to get with her because Daddy.

“I’m Julius. It’s nice to meet you at last.”

I FUCKING KNEW IT.

Like with the wings, and the magic, and the love of shiny sticks.”

Gabriellllll <3

“You’ll trust me in time. We were destined to meet,”

Why would he say or know that?

Idun has helped me adjust to this new world.

So this bitch has been helping Julius left and right, while pretty much ignoring his brother... Knows he and Magnor are alive and just letting them think they're all alone for this last year?? yeah fuck Idun.

Warrior born and monster made…Moon Child walks the path of salvation. Erik Larsen walks the very same path. A monster must be made, Julius Elioson. It is time.

HA SUCK IT ASSHOLE. DADDY IS GOOD.

“Who do you think?”

This is the oldest trick in the book. He's a goddamn idiot if he falls for that shit

the Elite sneered, taking the bait and providing his own answer.

Idiot.

“Delusional confidence is the key to life,”

This blood is destined for the royal wedding; they don’t want it sampled until after the celebrations.”

Holy shit.... So basically everyone excepy Erik will die because he won't drink in front of Montana

Considering she was supposed to be helping us, that goddess really was a meddling bitch.

Babe you have no idea.

In an instant, I lost all control and gave in to the rampant thirst that was my sole desire, flooded by the desperate longing to sate this need.

That's kinda whbat i figured happened when Magnar and Julius described Erik and how awful he waz s.

I was more than a monster; I was an abomination.

“Forgive me.”

Okay so his motivations behind this weren't awful. I mean knowing him i kinda figured.

If you’re curious enough, we can go ahead and do the vow right now.”

Is he really so desperate to not be alone that he'll push her into this? So far Julius is funny but he's also quite the asshole.

“I’m only filthy in the good ways.”

Okay he's talking like a daddy... But i want Erik to be my daddy. I've already grown attached. And sisters ending up with brothers feels weird to me.

sensing Nightmare's connection to Menace growing even stronger.

This feels like a trap.... But i'm okay with it because it means she'll be reunited with Daddy again soon.

I’m a vampire but I'm a slayer too, and our people were made to walk in the light. The sun doesn’t hurt me, and I can still wield our blades.

Oh shit so she's really fucking powerful.... She's gonna be a problem

“Why am I dressed like a porno Viking?”

Girl... You know why.

His mouth claimed mine

Oh thank goodness they should be able to bone in their dreams. Or will it do the thin where you wake up before it gets good?
