My Vampire Harem Will Dominate Everything

Commander Duke knew he didn't have much time.

Princess Akiko had given Ezra Matten his ultimatum and from what he'd heard of the man, he'd faced even greater troubles and came out stronger.

The caretaker wanted him to bring someone and he agreed that it had to be Olivia. For him, it wasn't because she was pregnant but because she was the weakest.

Ezra Matten was a sixth ringed vampire, Olivia was of the fifth ring and Red was of the fourth. While he was a fifth ringed vampire and was sure he could handle Red, Olivia's pregnancy was… weird. And it was doing weird things to her.

One moment, she was as weak as a feather. Another, she was stronger than steel.

He'd been keeping watch on them, trying to see if there were any patterns between her moments of weakness and strength and so far, he hadn't found any.

But that didn't mean he wasn't on the lookout for any opportunity.

He watched Ezra walk into the Princess' suite and narrowed his eyes. The man wasn't extending his Aura to cover everything this time. The conversation he was about to have must be really serious.

If not for his sensitivity to mana, he wasn't sure he'd have been able to notice the Aura but he had from the very first day.

Ezra had always used it to see his surroundings and right now, it meant that he had an opportunity he couldn't afford to squander.

"Hey." He called out to the nearest guard. "Keep an eye on Matten for me. Someone would be there soon to relieve you."

"Yes, sir." The man saluted, loyal to his superior.

He nodded to the guard and began making his way through the corridors.

This was one of the things that makes him think the Monarchy isn't all that different from the Society. Both governments used the same laws, with the Society being much more strict in enforcing them.

While he had to admit that the Monarchy gave vampires more freedom, it was all just about who was in charge. If the Courts and the Council switch sides and rule each other's nations, there really won't be that much of a difference in the life of an ordinary vampire.

"You." He called out to a passing guard as he walked past. "Go to the Princess' suite and relieve the guard keeping an eye on Ezra Matten."

"Yes, sir."

He continued on his way, taking a circuitous route. No one needed to know where he was going.

After making sure there were no eyes on him, he opened the window and slipped outside.

Clinging to the walls, he looked around. He was in one of the shaded parts of the estate covered by the trees. No one was here that much.

Sticking his hands and feet to the wall, he crawled until he got to his destination. Peeking through the window to make sure the coast was clear, he swung it open and slipped inside.

Pausing to make sure nobody was coming his way, he crept closer to where he was going.

His hands ghosted over his pockets, making sure he still had the injection. Without it, his plan was doomed.

He had acquired a large batch of the toxin he was using today from the Flower Shop girls of First City and now, he would be using his final batch.

It was necessary.

From what he'd seen from the few times he'd been in the suite, he was sure that the women slept separately. That was what he was hoping for now. That they were not together.

He knew the layout of the place like the back of his hand and it didn't take him long to find the first rooms.

He placed his hand on the door, feeling for the hidden mechanism that was placed in case of an invasion. The room was empty.

He moved to the next one. Also empty.

At the third one, he touched the mechanism, added his vitality and the image of Red streamed into his head.

Red was in there. That meant Olivia was truly alone!

A smile appeared on his face as he continued. Before long, he found Olivia, sleeping in her room.

He activated another part of the door's mechanism and stepped through the wood, moving as silently as he could.

He had caught Olivia just when she was feeling weak. How lucky!

He readied the toxin and when he was close enough, slapped a hand over Olivia's mouth and injected it into her neck.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

As expected of a fifth ringed vampire, her eyes snapped open almost immediately and she tried to struggle but his grip over her mouth was too strong.

Half a second later, her eyes widened as her struggles became weak.

"You feel it, don't you?" He chuckled as he whispered to her, his hand still over her mouth. "The heat running through you and your loss of weakness."

She did nothing and just glared at him.

"What you're feeling, Olivia Matten, is the effect of the Drain toxin, a refined version of a Flower Shop girl classic. Instead of your vitality slowly disappearing in a few minutes, it disappears instantly."

"Right now," he leaned in closer to the woman, "you're as strong as the average human woman and anything I do can kill you. But it's not you I'm worried for."

Experience more content on empire

His grin widened and he whispered. "It's your baby."

He savored the fear of the vampire as her hand drifted to her stomach.

"If you want what's best for the both of you, cooperate. If not, the Matten coven would lose the two most important people in their coven. Understand?"

Olivia nodded frantically, her eyes wide.

"Good. Stand."

He kept his hand over her mouth as she stood and led her out the way he'd come. Red was still in her room and with the suite empty of Monarchy guards, there was no one to stop him.

Getting to the window, he picked Olivia up with one hand, his other still covering her mouth. This time, he used just his legs and slowly walked down the wall until he got to the ground.

He didn't bother to put Olivia down and kept walking. The toxin would last for twenty four hours and as she was as strong as a human right now, she'd just slow him down.

He made his way to the vehicle he'd prepared and threw her in the passenger's seat. Closing the door, he was at the other side in an instant. Before Olivia could do anything, he was in the driver's seat.

He started the hover car and began driving to the back gate. If he could just get out of the Monarchy's estate, all he needed was five minutes and he'd get Olivia to the caretaker.

Just as the back gate came in sight, that was when he felt it.

"Fuck!"

Ezra Matten's Aura!
