《My Vampire (Book Three)》Chapter 30
Advertisement
The rain is beginning to slow down now, there's a cool breeze that rustles the trees around us into my favorite symphony of sounds from the forest. It's not a perfect day but I'm sure she would have liked it no matter what. I set the shovel down and feel a cold hand entwine their fingers with my own.
I look back at Ada and smile when she stands closer to my side and we look down at my mother's grave.
"She would have liked it here. Buried next my father and my brothers." I say and look down at the small mound of dirt.
"She would have loved it Isaac." Ada squeezes my hand gently and I nod my head. It's been four days filled with burials of all the wolves we've lost including the proper burials of the hybrids done by their families. Desiderius was left by the decision of both Ada and Selene to burn in the sun. Meanwhile Io was burned by her daughter and Gabriel deep into the forest and her ashes reshaped into a necklace now worn by Selene. Also as a sort of gift, Selene restored his immortality in order to continue to protect the pack.
When I first woke up after the fight I wasn't mad at Ada for turning me into a hybrid. I was just happy that she loved me again, that she was okay. But then the reality of our situation began to hit me, I was immortal. I would watch my friends grow old and die. I would watch their children have children of their own and die. Meanwhile I would remain the same, the last of my name, I would never have children and I would never grow old.
Ada squeezes my hand again and I turn and face her. I look into her beautiful green eyes and she slowly smiles making my heart flutter and I place a gentle kiss on her forehead. For the next eternity I wouldn't mind missing out on all of that, because then I would have lost Ada. And there was nothing I wanted more than to spend forever with her.

"We're the same now. You could beat me in a fight if you wanted to." She teases and I chuckle and hold her tight.
"I could beat you in a fight no matter what." I say and she growls playfully and tries to escape but I hold her tight.
"I might even be stronger than you now." I tease and she laughs and wiggles her way out of my arms and begins running through the woods. I look down at my mother's grave and smile sadly down at her.
"I'll visit soon mom." I say and run after Ada. My vision is much better at night now and I'm definitely way faster than I ever was. I find Ada immediately, I'll never lose her scent again. She's leaning against a tree and biting her lip and giggling as she watches me walk towards her and run my fingers down her arms.
"Don't run away from me." I say and kiss her lips.
"I'll never leave. You're stuck with me forever." She smiles and I smile back.
"And where are we going to spend forever?" I ask raising an eyebrow and she shrugs wrapping her arms around my waist.
"Anywhere. Paris. Egypt. Milan. I want you to see everything." She says placing her hand on my cheek.
"Then we'll see everything." I smile kissing her again and feeling like the luckiest man alive.

Tales of Teleios
Born as a noble free-man, the only daughter of a lord, Arete of Syracuse was an ambitious young woman who would do anything to succeed her father's position. One day, her father was exposed of his secret movement attempted to overthrow the emperor... Tales of Teleios set in the ancient Greco-Roman. It is a very standard adventure, low fantasy, alternate historical story with common archetype and predictable storyline. It is a form of artistic expression. 🏳️🌈 LGBTQIA+ Content Tag 🙇 ESL Author 📖 A Very Brief Summary 📖 (Unavoidable Spoiler) This story is about Arete of Syracuse (the protagonist) who was on a journey to find a mysterious Teleios of Eretria. Travelling with her servant Matea, her maternal cousin Agave and a former hetaira named Pryne. Throughout their journey, they discovered the conspiracy behind the Emperor Nero's eugenic system. This story explores the topic of human advancement. Tracing the idea back to the Greco-Roman world, the idea of eugenicism started when humans attempted to achieve perfection through breeding enhancements. However, The Three Elders realised that they couldn't afford waiting on the natural process of evolution. Thus, they came out with the controversial idea of experimentation through the building up of monstrosities using different body parts of animals and attempting to achieve immortality through taking over the younger human bodies. Teleios means perfection, and the center of this story is about the journey of four very flawed characters: The protagonist, Arete was a skinny noble woman who was born premature and had amenorrhea. She was supposed to be drowned by the order of Emperor Claudius due to her imperfection. While Matea was born a perfect healthy person, but has had everything taken away from her. Agave who was born out of wedlock but was fortunate enough to be adopted into a noble family. And Pryne who was on her way to have a loving family but drifted instead throughout the world after making a decision that she deeply regretted and needed to overcome her sense of guilt along the way. The story will explore some of the most controversial topics which involved detestable ancient practices such as pedarastry, where as the Empress Sporus, being the victim of it, coping with her tragic experience through acceptance of the oppressor and her struggle for not being able to conceive. In summary, the topics were largely related to gender and sex. There will be violence and gore, as most of the fantasy works does. while the author here would like to inform the readers that this is not an erotica, nor it has any sentences that involve depiction of sexual activities. Therefore, this story is not for those who seek thrill on its sexual content. A dialogue of Empress Sporus: "The world itself abused us to a level unimaginable! Yet we have to learn to love the world! Simply to live! To make our life a little easier, a little happier. So what is wrong with that? Are you expecting me to go against the emperor when he is the one and only reason I became the empress?" Said Sporus.
