My Bloody Revenge novel Chapter 42

"There you are." Jaze greets as soon as they enter the kitchen. "Did everything go well?" the

question is directed more towards Lydoran than her.

"It went much better than I hoped for. She’s taking everything surprisingly well for a newly

changed." Smiling he places a soft kiss to her temple.

Jaze raises an eyebrow at the open display of affection. Surprise and curiosity flashes in his eyes

as he looks at them both holding hands and generally touching each other. There is a silent

question dancing in them too about what has happened but refrains from asking.

"Consort bond." Lydoran fills in bluntly as if knowing what’s on his mind.

Stunned Jaze blinks in disbelief. "How the hell did that happen?"

"I’m wondering the same thing but not complaining though. Going to call Malarath later and

see if he can shed some light on the matter."

"Congratulations to you both. Having a consort is a powerful thing and true eternal love is

special among our kind." Jaze smiles brightly and hands out glasses filled with blood. The clank

of glasses rings out in the kitchen as they make a toast to happiness and welcoming Lyra into

the world of shadows. Taking a zip of blood resulted in her doing a one shot and instead of

feeling embarrassed she holds out her glass and politely asks for more. It's not as sweet,

smooth or have the same richness as Lydoran’s blood but it serves it purpose and she isn’t

complaining.

"I forgot how thirsty a newly turned can be and still you show more restraint than most. You

keep on surprising." Jaze points out impressed.

"Another thing I need to ask Malarath about. Lyra doesn't act like the typical child. Lyra is too

controlled, civil and have flawless manners. In short, the appearance has been altered but

personality wise she’s pretty much the same."

"You two make it sound like that would be something awful." Lyra chimes in in mock offence,

downing the content in two big gulps then serves herself a third serving which she sips instead

of devouring.

"Except for displaying a nice set of backbone and confidence." Jaze teases affectionately.

"Before I forget, again." mumbling the last part to himself. "Thought we could all go hunting

after sun down. Lots of darkness and little to no moonlight, which makes it a perfect night to

turn vampire for the first time. Are you up for it, love?"

"Hell yeah! I wonder what I'll look like." Lyra shouts out all excited.

Lydoran let out a humorous chuckle before giving her a tender kiss. "You will look stunning like

no one else, shkoi amsolon." (my eternity)

Lyra have no idea what he said but her entire body responded with a shiver and she imagined

him saying it with fully elongated fangs.

"Someone is swooning and you, dear father, is lying it on thick by speaking shadow language"

"You have your own language?" Lyra looks from one to the other in amazement.

"We do but not many speak it. Lydoran here tried to teach me but I gave up. I can understand

some things but no way near all. But I do know he just called you his eternity."

Secretly Lydoran wanted to be the one to tell her what it meant but he doesn’t mind that Jaze

did it instead. Instead he decides to make that call so they can prepare for their hunting.

Stepping a bit to the side he fishes out the phone and hits up Malarath’s contact. Two sets of

eyes are on him as he listens to the dial tone but he ignores them.

"Speaking." a deep voice says in the other end.

"Rmeoj flijeron nomnde daf aljhmarth." (greetings to you too father)

"Lydhromorna? Ahmno sqolp lo morqjlornhs, djoqilh? (Lydoran? What can I do for you, son?)

"Amfantoj Lyra? Kvixes atrimas shkilj fa ajavoilm, dygh fo aftaronshkoi amsolon. Mhjer

wymajlon mofklanat asl conforson omynal. Herrimy squamt omynal, aljhmarth."

(Remember Lyra? She chose me as maker and is now my eternity. We somehow made a

consort bond. Really deep bond, father.)

There is a pause in the conversation.

"How deep?"

"We can calm each other down by touch or thought. Tingles, mind talking and feel if the other

is withing touching range, same building or even further away."

"Anything else?"

"Avst (Yes), she is not acting like a typical child. After drinking from me she downed two wine

glasses with blood and is only sipping on the third. Appears normal other than smaller changes

in behavior but for the better. "
