"I have brought you all here today because we have some important news on Leon's whereabouts. He is back in the human world where I hear; he is recruiting for his army by turning as many humans as he can. This needs to be stopped now." Carter was addressing the troops of vampires, witches, and wolves about our next plan of attack. Everyone was looking up at him like some kind of god, and all I could do was picture him naked, bouncing on top of me.

"Eb, you ok? You almost fell backward, lost in thought?" Jake said, putting his hand on my back.

"Oh, all good," I said, rubbing my neck. One thing I had noticed since I became a vampire was that I was literally insatiable; I could not get enough sex. I thought about it all the time; I thought about it while I was doing it. I had spoken to Jake about it, and after he stopped laughing and trying to seduce me, he told me I had to learn to control my urges, which he was still trying to learn how to do.

"You were thinking about sex again?" He smiled as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"Yes," I said, shaking my head. "This is ridiculous, we are preparing for war, and all I can think about is being pounded from behind," I shrugged.

Jake stared at me as he slowly raised his eyebrows, almost drooling at my words.

"You're picturing it right now, aren't you?"

"You have no idea," he said slowly.

"Together, we can defeat them, but we all need to work together to achieve this," Carter yelled as the crowd cheered. "I believe we can do this, and with your help..."

"This is ridiculous; I need to stop looking at him, or I'm going to jump on top of him on that stage. I'm just going to hang back a bit and try and think about puppies or something."

"If you guys breed, can I have one of your wolf puppies?" Jake chuckled.

I hit him in the arm. "They wouldn't be puppies, you asshole."

"I would name him insatiable just like his momma," he winked as he dodged my swinging fist.

"I hate you," I said as I walked away.

"I hate you more," he cheerfully called to me as I walked back towards the castle gate and started doing handstands and yoga poses, anything to make my horny brain stop thinking about Carter and his hard, long, stiff ...

"You're getting good at that," I heard a voice say behind me as I tried to do the splits while standing on my hands. I lost my balance and fell to the floor on my back.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. Are you ok?" I looked up to see Henry's face looking down at me on the ground.

"Hey, stranger, where have you been lately?" I smiled up at him.

"Oh, you know, around. How are you doing with all of this?" He helped me off the ground, and I instantly hugged him tightly. I don't care what Carter says, he's my friend, and I missed him.

"I've missed these," he said, picking me off the ground for a moment as we hugged. "Nobody else ever wants to cuddle."

"Where have you been? I haven't seen you in forever." I said, cleaning myself off the grass and dirt on my clothes.

"I saw you two days ago? Are you experiencing memory loss?" He said, concerned.

"It's a figure of speech," I laughed, looking at his adorable confused face. "I just mean it has been a while, that's all."

"Oh, yes, of course, I have been quite busy lately with all of this. Father is quite distressed about the war, and I have been put in charge of this whole operation, which is very daunting." He pressed his lips together.

"Henry, that's amazing. Wait, this is a good thing, yes?"

He shrugged, looking uncomfortable at the question, "I don't know," he looked away, avoiding my eyes.

"Why do you look so sad?" I said, touching his face. "What's going on?"

"I don't know. I guess I'm just a bit preoccupied at the moment." He looked back at me, and his big blue eyes sparkled in the light as he looked at me. He put his hand on mine and went to say something, but he stopped himself and closed his eyes, shaking his head.

"With what?" I rubbed his shoulder, trying to comfort him. "Did I miss something?"

He turned his head away from me, clearing his throat. "Nothing, I'm fine. It's a great honor to have this title, and I have just been busy," he said coldly. "I should get back to the troops and prepare them. It was nice to see you again, Ebony. Take care of yourself," he said, avoiding my eyes and walking away, not looking back.

"Henry, please don't push me away right now. I could use a friend, I'm scared right now, and I need you to be ok. I don't want to lose you."

He stopped walking and turned back to me. "You will never lose me, Ebony, that is not possible, but right now, I need to focus on my task and not get distracted by things. Stay safe, Ebony Summers. If you need me, I'll always be right by your side," he said as he put on a big smile purely for my benefit.

"You promise?" I said, feeling my stomach churn.

"I promise, my friend. You are indeed one in a million for me, and I want nothing more than to see you safe and happy. I will always have your back, no matter what." he quickly turned and walked away from me, heading back to the castle.

"What is it with you and all these vampires?" I heard Genevieve's voice say behind me. "Do you have blood pouring from your nipples or something?"

"First of all, disgusting." I turned to look at her. "Second of all, why are you here?" I snapped back at her as she walked toward me, looking proud of herself for making me angry.

"Well, it's just all these guys seem to be entirely under your spell. I mean, you have Carter begging on his knees for you, and that very handsome prince is clearly in love with you."

"No, he is not. He is my friend."

"Vampires don't have friends, my dear, they have dicks, and they like to put them in, well, apparently, your vagina," she said with amusement.

"Screw you. You are not taking what I have with them and making it into something vile," I yelled at her.

"I'm not judging, darling. In fact, I'm quite jealous, actually. Jake is practically begging you for attention, and that is something I have been trying to get for years. I hear he is quite the stallion in the bedroom, and apparently, he hung like a..."

"Enough," I said through gritted teeth.

"And, that Prince Henry, yummy. The things I'd like to do to him." she practically licked her lips as she said his name.

"What do you want?"

"I just want you to know that I understand what you must be feeling right now. I remember being young and wanting to screw everything that stood still." She smiled and flicked her dark hair over her shoulder as she looked me up and down. "I do mean everything." She purred, almost gagging on her thoughts.

"Is that why you slept with Vinnie? You ran out of men?" I smirked.

"You mock me, but that is almost quite true." She laughed at her joke. "Look, I'm not here to start trouble with you. I just want to help. I know you must be consumed with the thought of sex, and trust me, that is normal for a young vampire, but you mustn't let it control you. I found that killing innocent things helped me control my lust."

"Well, thank you for the concern, but Carter is managing to keep me fully satisfied, so I'm good." I smiled smugly.

"I'm sure he is. Carter will always be my favorite bedmate, but he is about to become the leader of this war, and I doubt he will have any time for you or your urges, especially with the full moon approaching us in a few days." She looked up to the sky.

"I'll be fine, thanks." I turned away from her.

"Don't do anything stupid. I would hate for Carter to find out and destroy this pathetic little affair you are both having," she yelled at me as she laughed.

"You want to start something with me?" I said, feeling the anger in my body rush through me.

"Please, you couldn't fight your way out of a paper bag," she sneered at me.

"Let's put it to the test, shall we?" I said, turning around to face her.

"Try your best little girl," she yelled, motioning me to come at her.

"Ebony Summers, stop this nonsense at once. You cannot attack a pregnant woman under any circumstances," Carter yelled furiously at me as he walked towards us.

"She started it," I protested.

"I did no such thing, I just tried to give the girl some advice about controlling her urges, and she attacked me right after she hugged that very handsome prince," Genevieve said innocently. "I was just trying to tell her to respect you and your relationship, Carter."

"You crazy bitch, are you serious?" I yelled at her.

"You hugged Henry?" Carter said, staring at me.

"I did, but it was because I'm worried about him."

"He was all over her, Carter, saying all sorts of things that are highly inappropriate for just 'friends,'" she said. "She basically threw herself at him."

Carter's eyes didn't leave mine; he looked disgusted and angry at the same time but said nothing.

"Carter, come on. I swear it's not like that. You know me, and you know I would never ever hurt you like that. She is insane and just causing trouble." I pointed to Genevieve, who gasped innocently.

"I was just trying to help." She protested.

"Leave us, Genevieve. I need to talk to Ebony alone," he growled, cutting her off.

"Of course, I do hope I didn't start any trouble between you both," she said, walking away, grinning at me.

"Carter, I swear nothing happened."

"You know how I feel about you and Henry being together alone. I told you he liked you, and I don't want you near him without me."

"But nothing happened, we were talking about the war, and he seemed upset, so I was just checking on him."

"You hugged him?"

"Yes, but it was an innocent hug."

"What did he say to you?"

"Nothing, he just said that he always has my back and that he wants me to be safe."

"I see, and nothing else was said?"

"No, we are just friends."

"Vampires don't have friends, Ebony, they eat and fuck, and that is it. I don't want you near him again, do you understand me?"

"How can you say that? Jake is my friend."

"No, he's not." Carter looked amused as he continued. "He wants to sleep with you, but he fears me more than anything, so he turns it into humor, but Henry has nothing to lose here. He will eventually challenge me, which I don't really have a problem with, but I know if you see me kill him, you will resent me, and I don't want that. I'm asking you to do this before one of us has to die," he said sternly.

"He won't challenge you; he doesn't look at me like that." I scoffed.

"Then when I rip his head off, and I will, you cannot get mad at me. This is your choice; this blood will be on your hands." He held up his hand's surrender.

"He is my friend, just like Jake and your son, and none of them will challenge you for me. You're being primitive and ridiculous."

"I love you, baby, I really do, but this blood is now on your hands. I tried to warn you, and I will kill whoever threatens my love for you," he kissed me gently. "They will die."

"Enough already, and kiss me again." I crashed my lips to his and kissed him with everything I had.

No one is going to challenge him. No one is that stupid. Right?
