Ambrosia (Nectar 2)
Your being on birth control skewed the results of what would be a natural test in our world. One of two things happens in an enchanted pet scenario, either the female becomes pregnant, or the male kills her when she starts menstruating and he’s then fortified until he finds another. Generations ago other males in a coven would fight over an infertile enchanted pet, all wanting the advantage, the significant advantage as the fortification could be enough to change the pecking order. When that pet has got a high amount of vampire DNA, that’s something that brings forth an extremely powerful vampire nectar. We try to keep things quiet regarding these matters as it can cause a bit of hysteria among vamps who aren’t well-equipped to handle it. Case in point: Liam.”
“So the next time I get my period?”
“We will know when it plays out. Tristan might not have killed you. We aren’t certain but it’s quite possible that he’d have fed on nectar until you completed that cycle but allowed you to live.”
“Are all women in danger during their period?”
“Bonded females only. When a super vamp, also known as a true vamp, one who is inherently vampire, keeps an enchanted blooded slash royal pet and feeds from her consecutively for several feedings, that’s when the bonding happens and that’s when it becomes an extremely symbiotic relationship. You need him as much as he needs you, probably even more.”
“You’ve said feed and breed. Does that mean I wouldn’t die if I gave birth?”
“We won’t know until that plays out. If that plays out.” He glanced at Tristan, looking contrite, then continued, “Royal pets have a better shot of survival than those who have no vampire DNA. Many pets that are chosen to breed only do so once, often because they don’t survive. Occasionally we’ve had more than one successful birth. We’ve had pets breed and survive and not survive. You have a decent chance of survival considering your amount of vampire DNA. And I’m very interested in assessments based on your blood’s composition should Tristan impregnate you. We’ve already discovered some very intriguing things from the blood sample we’ve tested.”
Kyla looked to Tristan. He was looking at Adrian, who continued,
“Human blood types go beyond alphabetical letters. Beyond A, O, etc. Tristan, as a royal vamp, would feel dissatisfied after feedings unless being fed by a pet with at least some vamp DNA.
Royal pets have a higher survival rate for childbirth. More than 9 out of 10 women impregnated by a vampire die during childbirth and in more than 9 out of 10 of the cases where there’s survival, the woman has vampire DNA. Tristan has the most royal bloodline that I’ve come across. You are the perfect feeder and breeder based on your blood type and bloodline. Tristan’s bloodline and his bloodlust, together, made you a perfect mate. Innately he knew this. That’s why he was attracted to you. That’s why feeding from you sates him. You were bred specifically for him. It’s also surprising that he didn’t kill you after you being tainted by the touch of another vamp. That’s also a testament to Tristan’s power.”
“Why am I not mesmerized by him if he’s so powerful?”
“Your not being entranced is something I need to investigate. That was a surprise. I suspect it’s due to the amount of vampire in your blood. It’s extremely rare. You, Kyla, are extremely rare. I know of no other royal pet with a bloodline as unique as yours. I’ve come across no other royal vamp with a bloodline and strengths as powerful as Tristan’s. I’ve been anxiously awaiting my opportunity to see the results of this union.”
“If I were turned?”
“We believe you’d become an extremely powerful female vamp,” Adrian answered without hesitation, “Your DNA and blood type, if you were turned, because of my bloodline, you’d be considered vampire royalty as well.”
Oh
My
God.
Tristan shuffled uneasily.
“So Tristan could’ve been a royal pet but he was chosen to become a royal vampire by being turned?”
“Not exactly. His bloodline is full of leaders, powerful and strong vamps. Full vamp on both sides. The only way he’d be a royal pet is if we didn’t know of his bloodline. Someone royal could’ve found out about his bloodline and fed on him and kept him in secret, never turning him, due to the potential competition his blood would bring. But that didn’t happen. His grandfather was very involved in preparing for Tristan to come of age. In a royal hierarchy he’s much higher than you would be, were you turned. But based on your bloodline and what I’ve seen so far in your lab results, you’d be a suitable queen, were you turned.”
Her blood ran cold a moment. She jerked her chin at him, “Would our offspring be like me or like him?”
