“No.” My voice was level and firm, brokering no argument. Then I softened, my fingers stroking her spine. “You’re too young. You have no idea what you’d be giving up. I can’t.”

“I don’t care! I want to give it all up. I want to forget, I can’t take it anymore. I see their face’s, Lucian. David and my parents. Will I see them in my dreams every night if you turn me? Will I hear them calling-”

“You’ll never forget. They’ll never leave you, they’ll become an eternal part of you. You’ll carry them with you, through the ages till the end of time.” My next words were like stones in my heart. “But the pain will go.”

She nodded. “Then do it. Take my pain away. Anything is better than this… I can’t… I won’t…Please!”

“You’ll be my thrall.” I declared. “My servant. Bound to my will and do my bidding till the end of days. Is this what you want?”

“Yes!” She panted, so hot, needy, and desperate, I almost gave in. “There’s nothing left for me here. A vampire, your thrall… slave, I don’t care. I can’t go back. Take me any way you want. I’m yours!”

“There is no going back,” I warned. This was her last chance to back out. Her final chance to come to her senses.

“I know.”

“Good.” I kissed her hard before crushing her to me and laying her down on the bed. My fangs plunged deep into her throat at the same time as I ground myself back into her depths. Orgasmic screams filled the room as I drank from Kate, savouring every drop of her sweet nectar as I drained her to the point where she had not a single drop of blood left within. Feeling her go limp in my arms, I felt a sudden stinging sensation stab at my throat as I cut my veins with a sharpened talon. I leant over and spilt my own blood into the woman’s waiting mouth. “Everything I am is yours, and all you are is mine. Blood of my blood, flesh of my flesh. Together forever…”

I completed the bonding.

She died in my arms and was reborn, awakening to the world a fledgeling vampire, my thrall, my companion, and would grow to become the great love of my eternal life.

But that is a story for another time…
