Soul Song: A Witch & Shifter Romance

by Amos, Ashley

  “I know,” Selena sighed. “I’ve really been writing like crazy though; and I have multiple fiction stories started and more of them ready to go. I’ll have the final draft of the auto done in about the next three days.” “Sounds good,” Sara said. “You look great by the way. You have a glow about you.” “Thanks! I’ve had some interesting experiences lately.”

  They bade each other goodbye, and Sara once again reiterated the importance of finishing the final draft soon as she exited the house. Selena checked herself in the mirror one more time, and then her cab arrived. The driver attempted to make small talk (“Damn! She’s hot!” he thought). Selena responded politely, then they had arrived at the biggest club in town – Fangs. It seemed that the general public’s fascination with vampires wasn’t going to die down anytime soon. As Selena entered the club, all heads turned to stare. Even in the dark, Selena’s hair shone like fire, and her outfit showed off her curvy body to its best. Little did she know – this club was named Fangs for a reason – it was a prime hangout for local vampires.

  Selena made her way through the sweaty crowd and proceeded to the bar. The bartender winked at her and came to get her order, ignoring many patrons already waiting. She ordered a vodka and tonic with lime. As she reached to give the bartender her card to run a tab, a tall man came up to her right side and handed his credit card to the bartender. “Whatever she wants, it’s on me,” he said. “That’s okay,” Selena protested. “I insist,” the tall man said as he gazed into her eyes. She no longer wanted to protest, so she thanked him.

  “Please join me in the VIP suite.” The man led her to the white couch in the less crowded and quieter VIP section in the back. They sat down, and Selena thanked the man again. She did make sure to keep her drink on the table at her side of the couch. The man introduced himself: “I am Vincent. I know that you are Selena. You’re quite the celebrity around here. I’ve read all of your books. You’re quite talented, but you’re even more beautiful in person.” “Thank you Vincent.” Just then, the cocktail waitress came by. Vincent ordered a bottle of Veuve Clicquot. She was sure it wasn’t the first that he had ordered, as the other girls in this particular section of VIP were already a little tipsy. When the waitress returned, he automatically filled up everyone’s glasses, then he poured one for Selena. “Thank you so much. This is one of the best champagnes out there.” She raised her glass as he did as well. “To an enchanting evening with an enchanting companion.” Once again, she felt under a spell, very similar to the way she felt with Aron. At the same time, she didn’t want to betray him.

  “Tell me more about yourself, beautiful,” Vincent said after he sipped some champagne. Selena told him about her latest writing projects, and she also told him how she loved nice things – clothes, furniture, etc. – and how she loved to decorate her home to make it lavish and inviting at the same time. “Perhaps I can see it sometime soon,” Vincent said. “Perhaps.” Selena blushed, and then she shifted her ample curves on the couch as she felt rather shy.

  As the evening wore on, they both drank copious amounts of champagne, and Selena danced with abandon until her long red hair was filled with sweat, and her face shone with a glow unlike any woman in the club. Vincent could not take his eyes off of her, as was the case with most of the men in the club. The vampires were all fascinated with her, as she was so beautiful and sexy, and they could all smell her blood. They knew that she was very tasty, and many of them wanted to establish a relationship with her, not just a one night stand and feeding. They could all sense Aron’s mark on her (although he had not even made love to her or bitten her yet), yet most of them just didn’t care. She was such a tasty and inviting morsel.

  Selena was thoroughly enjoying herself, and she felt sexier than she ever had in her life. She had really needed this night of wild abandon. However, the champagne had definitely gone to her head, and it was 2 AM before she knew it. The club would not be closing until 4 AM, yet she really needed some rest. She was also scared that she was going to miss Aron’s nightly visit. For some reason, she felt that this was something that should not be done. It scared her a little thinking of what he might do, especially since she had partied and drank with Vincent all night. Although she and Aron had made no promises of any sort to each other, she felt a strange devotion to him that she had never felt with any other man. She excused herself politely from Vincent, and then ran outside to catch the first waiting cab.

  Vincent had not wanted to let her leave, but she did in fact have free will. She was also a relatively strong woman in mind and heart. She had been independent for so long that no one could make her do anything – not even a vampire attempting to glamour her. The cab ride home seemed to take forever, and Selena couldn’t wait to rush into her house and then invite Aron in.

  She waited for two hours, even drinking some mid-grade champagne that she had stashed in the refrigerator. He never showed up. Selena had never been more disappointed than she was on this morning as the sun rose and shone into her living room. She poured out the little bit of champagne that was left, and headed up to bed. Would he ever come back? Did he somehow know about her spending time with Vincent? Had he been at the club and she hadn’t noticed? What if something had happened to him? All of these questions replayed in her mind over and over until she finally fell into a fitful sleep.

  Chapter 4: The Night of Love

  Aron did know about Selena’s evening, and he was deeply disappointed in his muse. Although he had not bitten her yet, he was tied to her through hundreds of years of devotion to finally finding her. She was his muse, his protégé, his one true love. He was hurt, but he was also a little angry at himself. Because he had wanted to take things slow so as not to scare her off, he had passed on the chance several times to truly mark her and mesmerize her. This would not be the case any longer. Although he was still disappointed in her behavior, he loved her beyond measure, and he was ready to take things to the next level. In fact, he knew that he must. Vincent was a pretty powerful foe of his, and he often enjoyed collecting human females for his amusement. Most of them went to his lair quite willingly, unaware that they would be captives for an indefinite amount of time. When he was bored with them, he usually just threw them out and went to collect a new toy.

  Aron did not operate like Vincent. He had had loves in the past, and he was a very virile vampire, but he really had been waiting for Selena for many centuries. He wasn’t about to let her slip through his fingers. As the moon rose, he made his way through the skies to his one true love’s abode. Little did she know that his plan included moving her into his mansion on the hill.

  When Aron arrived, Selena was crying softly on the chaise lounge. She hadn’t written all day long, and she had only nibbled on a piece of toast. She was weak and sniffling, and her face and eyes were red and puffy from crying so much. When Aron knocked on the door, she jumped up as if a fire had been lit under her. She ran to the door, and immediately let him in when she saw his handsome face through the glass. He swooped her up into his arms and placed her gently on the chaise lounge. He had intended to scold her, but she actually had done nothing wrong. It was Vincent who had ulterior motives, and Selena had only gone out for an evening of much deserved fun.

  They began to kiss slowly and languidly for the very first time. Soon, neither of them could contain their excitement and lust. Aron grabbed her hand, pulled her off of the chaise lounge then lifted her curvy body up easily to carry her up to her bedroom. She was wearing a white silk negligee, and his deft fingers ripped it straight down the middle. Her white panties had a wet trail from her slit, and Aron could smell Selena’s desire. She had never been this excited in her life. His pants lifted as he grew harder and harder, and suddenly Selena became nervous. He was no slouch in that department, and she had never been taken fully by a man. Aron wanted her so badly, that the knowledge that she was a virgin completely slipped from his mind. He grabbed the silky panties and ripped them in half as well.

  “Oh!” Selena
exclaimed. This was real; this was really happening. A man was about to make love to her for the first time. She had no clue that a vampire was about to deflower her. He leaned down to kiss her again, and laid his strong, hard body over her softer, more pliable one. Their kisses became more frenzied like before, and he reached for one of her huge breasts. He suckled the nipple carefully yet firmly, causing her to moan loudly. He moved back up to her throat, and smelled the blood pumping through her artery. He savored the sweet, peach-like smell of her pale skin, and licked her neck while making himself hold back from biting her. He wanted to insert his manhood into her honeypot unlike any other desire that he had ever had. He sucked on both breasts with equal time and abandon, and then he moved to her dripping wetness. He used his long, deft tongue to lick and suck on her clitoris, and he licked her slit. She moaned loudly again, and begged him “Please. Please Aron, make love to me.”

  Aron removed his shirt, pants and underwear. Although he was very close to the point of erupting, he slowed his breathing and thought about other things to bring about some amount of control. There was something he wanted her to do before he made love to her. He moved her head down to his cock as he laid down on the bed. “But I never….” Selena protested. “Now is the time,” he reassured her. She opened her full lips, placing them carefully onto the head of his cock. She circled her tongue around the tip; it was as if she had been made for this. Aron couldn’t stop himself – he pushed her head down until his head hit the back of her throat. He grabbed her neck to make her head bob up and down. She gagged a little, but kept going. She really was quite good at this. However, he was going to cum if she didn’t stop, and he was ready beyond measure to enter Selena’s sweet lady cave.

  Aron lifted Selena’s head from his shaft. He moved to gently place his body on top of hers, and he began to kiss her again. This time he went very slowly. He had remembered suddenly that she was a virgin. He didn’t want to hurt her, although the juices dripping from her pussy were going to make it a little bit easier to enter her. He grabbed his cock, which had juices of its own dripping from the head. He slid it in as gently as he could, although it was tough to not just shove it in. she moaned softly as the head entered, and he bumped against her hymen. He pumped back and forth a bit, making sure to kiss her even more. Finally, he could not control himself any longer. He pushed, and then he had to push some more. As he popped her cherry, she moaned a little in pain. He smelled the little bit of blood begin to flow, and he refrained from stopping to lick it. He gently pinched one of her nipples, then he began to pump with abandon.

  Selena was surprised, but after the initial pain began to wear off, her passion was back, and she began to lift her hips to meet Aron’s thrusts. They soon were making love as if their lives depended on it. Aron used his strong ability to mind control himself, so that he wouldn’t shoot off suddenly before Selena had cum. Before he knew it, she was lifting her hips as high as she could against his, and she was calling out his name over and over. He thrust harder and faster, and soon they climaxed together. They both saw stars, and Selena even blacked out for a brief moment. When they finally stopped, both collapsed into each other’s arms, covered in sweat and sex. When Aron finally moved off of her, he then lay behind her and they spooned for a little while. She was asleep within fifteen minutes.

  It wasn’t yet time for Aron to retire to his abode, as the sun wasn’t due to rise for a few more hours. He could not resist any longer. He turned Selena onto her back, and began to sniff and lick her neck. The blood pumping was enough to drive him crazy. That sweet peach-like smell made him insane. He kissed her neck and licked it some more. Selena stirred. “What are you…”. Before she could get the rest of the words out, Aron had bitten into the artery. He sucked long and deep, and then he forced himself to back off some. He licked gently, while using the powers of his mind to keep the blood from spurting out and to keep her from freaking out and jumping up to get away. “My love.” Then he began to suck again, before biting himself on the wrist and placing it to her mouth. She started to suck with wild abandon, as if her life depended on it, which at this point it did. He let her go far enough so that she was now his, and his alone. Then he stopped her, having to use some force as she did not want to let go. As he lifted her head, she took a deep breath and looked at Aron. Suddenly, she could see through him into his soul. She could see his beautiful aura, and she could see the veins all over his body. She looked around her bedroom, and it was if she had never seen it before. Everything had a sheen to it, almost a sparkle. It was as if she was a newborn baby whose vision had just cleared.

  Aron was ready for this; he had turned people before. He knew that he would have to protect Selena from danger. She would be so excited to explore the world with her new eyes, and she would feel invincible. For now, he was going to have to show her how to rest and to go under before dawn.

  Chapter 6: Selena’s New Life

  Selena was in an extra coffin that Aron had in his sleeping basement. Her dreams were filled with blood and adventure, running and playing in the forest at night, and she also had similar dreams to the night that she dreamed of ivy-covered mansions. She was in one of the deepest sleeps of her life, but she was aware. She knew that someday soon, Aron and she would see those ivy-covered mansions, and that they would visit New Orleans. She had always wanted to visit, and now she knew that it would be more magical than she had ever thought possible.

  As the night began to creep in, Selena felt herself needing to stir. Even though she had slept the sleep of death, she awoke more aware and awake than she ever had. She was ready to take on her new life, and she couldn’t wait to explore that life with Aron as her Master and lover.

  They both lifted the lids of their coffins at the same time. Aron came to lift Selena from hers, and they kissed passionately. “Now I must show you how to feed, my love. I know that you are excited and filled with magical energy, but you need to slow down and listen to me. Is that clear?” she nodded her head yes.

  They exited Aron’s mansion, and moved with supernatural speed into the forest behind his home. They held hands, and Selena looked at the trees, the ground, and the sky with amazement. Everything still had that sheen that she had noticed in her bedroom the night before. It was also as if she could see into and through objects. She could see things as they truly were; most humans lost or had this power removed from them through social programming. She kept looking at Aron as well; she was so in love with him, and seeing another being’s true soul was unlike anything she had ever experienced. They explored the forest, and he showed her how to get blood from small animals. Soon she was full and sated, and he began to explain all that she needed to know of her new form.

  “You must stay away from feeding on humans at all costs; you don’t know enough yet to do so without killing them, and you definitely are not ready to turn one. There are great responsibilities that come with being a vampire, and you must make sure to get into your coffin as the dawn approaches. Everything is going to look always as it does now, but you must be careful in these first few years to use your powers responsibly. You cannot go flying around wherever you want to, just because it all looks so fascinating. You cannot tell anyone what you are, and you must be careful around other vampires, especially Vincent.”

  Selena blushed. Funny that she could still do that very human behavior. “I didn’t….”. “I know that you did nothing wrong. At first I was disappointed, but you were only having fun. I am upset with Vincent. I know how he operates, and he knew that I was already your Master, even though I hadn’t turned you yet. Beware of him Selena. Once he sets his sights on a woman, he will try to have her no matter what. He is used to getting his way. And he is not a good man.”

  Selena agreed to everything Aron said, although she knew that it would take great control to do and not do all of the things that he had warned her about. Everything was now so beautiful, it was so shiny, so fascinating. She knew that this was the way that things were really supposed to b
e, and she felt sorry for humans and their lack of vision – literally.

  The new couple explored until the night was waning, and they could sense dawn coming. Selena reluctantly went with Aron back to their coffins. Little did they know that they were being watched all evening.

  Chapter 7: Vincent’s Rage

  Vincent was pissed. He wanted Selena as his own. In fact, he wanted that curvy beauty more than he had ever wanted any silly human. He had gone to Aron’s mansion to fight him, but he had sensed that Selena was with him. When he located them in the forest, he knew immediately that Selena had been turned by Aron. He could tell by the way that she moved, and he could see the connection cords that had been cemented between the two of them. He didn’t want to scare her, so he stayed far enough away that they couldn’t see him. He put an invisible cloak on so that Aron wouldn’t know that he was nearby. Aron was very powerful, but so was Vincent. They were very close in age. They had been enemies for hundreds of years. They were both from the same area in northern Greece, and had fought each other for their first true love in a typical duel when they were both still human. Not much had changed, except that they were both stronger and of course, they were vampires.

  Vincent watched them for several hours, then he ventured back to his mansion. One of his girls was crying, and he would probably kill her soon. He couldn’t stand simpering, and she was one of the worst that he had ever captured. He had no desire to turn her. He was also getting bored with his concubines that he had turned. They were all young, and he was not actually in love with any of them. He just preferred live human blood (not like those gross little animals Aron mostly fed upon!), and he required sex in multiple forms many times daily.
