Hello all.
So by my lack of posting and existing I guess you can guess I’ve mostly quit tumblr. I still look at notifications and all that. But I’m not writing for any characters. In fact I’m writing my own stories hoping to make a writer of myself in the world.
I’m going to give myself a goal though and to finish all my unfinished stories the best I can so nothing is half done or I’m going to delete the ones I just can’t find inspiration with so it’ll only be complete story’s on here now in my material list.
Anyway just want to say thank you to my followers and all the likes and reads. Hope you continue to enjoy my old story’s and maybe I’ll write again one day.

The tieflings of Elturel
Zevlor x tiefling!reader
Warnings: AOB, age gap, angst, gore, hurt/comfort, eventual smut, claiming, Male Tav insert (Druid elf)
Tumblr media
I’m honestly terrible at remember names lol I’m gonna get them wrong xD
Upon arriving to the Grove you were so happy for shelter, for some relaxation and peace. The druids however were not all inclined to you staying despite what Halsin said. You were exhausted from the days on the road, from the fall, you don’t know how much more your omega body could handle. You weren’t the only omega though and you had to help your people. You were sorting out some supplies when you saw Zevlor, a stern look on his face. Gods what did those Druids do now? you sighed a little continuing your sorting before Zevlor called your name. You perked up as he cocked his head for you to follow and you did. You followed him through the stone doors and into his private area.
“What is it?” You asked sensing the alphas stress.
“The Druids want us gone, with Halsin not here-“ he growled and you gulped a little trying to calm him with your scent. He was usually so composed, but with what’s been happening lately he was getting ready to burst.
“Apologies child I-“ he sighed back turned to you as you stepped closer.
“It’s alright, what can I do?” You asked as he turned to you.
“You’ve done too much already, I want you to rest” he said and you hesitated.
“I have to help-“ you gestured out the door referring to the camp.
“Zevlor!” Tilses called rushing in.
“What is it?” Zevlor asked now on high alert.
“Aradin and his crew are back, but we’ve got problems-“ before the woman could finish Zevlor growled and stormed out, you following suit. You headed to the gate seeing Aradin and his fighters and a pack of goblins behind him. It happened quickly, Harkon got shot, his dead body falling to the floor. The gate slid shut as you ducked from more arrows. You saw Wyll out the corner of your eye as he jumped down the rocks to help. You prepared a spell, protecting the fighters down below, concentrating your magic on them as they fought. Zevlor knelt close to the edge his crossbow in hand. You saw another group appear behind the goblins and they began fighting as well. You extended your protection to them feeling the drain heavily in your body as you pushed through. The fighting stopped and you fell to your knees.
“Everyone inside now!” Zevlor yelled as the gate was opened.
“Gods, are you alright?” He asked as you nodded smiling weakly.
“Just need a moment” you muttered as you tried to get up. Zevlor caught you quickly and you felt your body tingle in response.
“Sorry-“ you forced your body up taking in his alpha scent as he gave you a worried look.
“I’ll be fine, we’ve got company it seems” you said glancing to the four travellers. You smiled and waved the older alpha off who hesitated, but nodded. You headed back to your camp a headache brewing as you sat in your bedroll.
“Excuse me” you frowned looking up seeing the group and standing back up.
“I wanted to thank you for your help” you smiled at the beta elf before glancing to his companions.
“Of course, did any goblins get you?” You asked and they shook their heads.
“Netties the healer in the sanctuary, I don’t know if they’ll let you in though, Arron’s the trader also he is just up there” you pointed and they nodded.
“Zevlor will want to speak to you too, he’s-“ you searched for your leader.
“Probably through that stone door down there” you pointed again.
“Thank you” The elf said and you nodded smiling.
“If you need gear see Dammon, he’s by the sorry excuse of a forge” you chuckled making the elf smile.
“Are you alright?” One of his companions asked, a human, just above the shoulder length brown hair and purple robes.
“Yes, just tired, that spell takes a lot out of you” you said.
“Of course, I’ve never seen it before” he added intrigued.
“Tiefling secret” you chuckled.
“Ah of course” the man grinned.
“Best of luck on your journey” you said as they left with goodbyes. You sagged a bit going back to your bed and laying down. You fell asleep some time someone nudging you awake gently. You shot up before Zevlor scent and voice hit you.
“Easy, it’s just me” he said and you sighed in relief looking to him and the two bowls he had.
“It’s not much again” he said handing you the simple stew and spoon.
“It’s food” you shrugged as the older alpha sat by you. You ate in silence seeing the travelling group still here.
“Hung around did they?” You asked nodding to them.
“Hm? Yes they’ve agreed to help us surprisingly, I don’t know how, killing a whole goblin came can’t be that easy” Zevlor chuckled softly and you smiled.
“They seem to be a powerful bunch, gods know we need the help” you said lying your empty bowl down.
“How are you feeling?” He asked looking to you. You hesitated, honestly you felt ready to burst from exhaustion and everything that’s happened, you had no safe space or comfort to find and you were always on edge.
“I’m alright just a bit tired” you lied shrugging as you avoided his worried eyes.
“You can’t lie to me omega” he muttered and you flushed embarrassed, hiking your knees to your chest, tail coming around you.
“If I tell the truth you won’t let me do anything” you grumbled a bit with a sigh.
“You’ve done too much already, I need you strong” he said and you gulped silently.
“I sleep, I eat, I have a bed and shelter, I’ll be fine tomorrow promise” you stated shutting yourself off trying to avoid breathing in the calming alpha scent he was giving off.
“Very well, do sleep well child” he said taking your bowl and leaving. You cursed yourself softly and laid back on the bed, gods you hated this and this situation. You hated even more that you felt connected to Zevlor somehow, his scent always stood out from the others, so much more inviting, you craved to be near him at all times. You were in his eyes a child though despite being an adult, he’d never see you as a potential mate or companion, not that you should be thinking about that now. Every night you wished you could lay in his bedroll with him, curled up against him, his warmth and scent surrounding you, it would bring you comfort, stop this ache and need.

His hand gently ran across your back, his hand warm and leaving goosebumps as he went before a knock came. You jolted while he chuckled darkly.
“Our first customer” he said saying a ‘come in’ while you went to scramble off his lap. He was quicker than you and kept his arm around your waist smirking as the man came in. An elf by his pointed ears, you felt an odd sensation seeing his soul it was darkened by something he had done.
“Apologies, is this a bad time?” He asked nervously and Raphael shook his head while you studied the elf.
“What is you see little mouse?” He asked you as you frowned.
“His soul” you said the man gasping slightly.
“Darkened isn’t it?” Raphael said and you nodded.
“Why have you come oh mortal?” Raphael asked as you continued to study.
“I’ve done something I need clearing” he said as you shifted in Raphael’s lap, back to his chest as you sat on his thigh. His arm was still securely around your waist as you prodded into the elfs mind without him knowing.
“What has he done?” Raphael asked you as you saw him killing a woman, his wife.
“Killed his wife” you said a glare on your face.
“Why did you kill her? She had no reason to die” you fought.
“She slept with another man!” The elf explained.
“No she didn’t” you stated and he froze.
“You accused her because you were to insecure” you snapped anger boiling inside you.
“Seems you’ve upset my mouse” Raphael commented.
“Kill him” his voice echoed in your mind.
“We won’t help you” you said sensing Raphael’s surprise.
“Live with what you’ve done” you said scaring the man out the room.
“Well done” Raphael chuckled and you felt pride boil from the compliment.
“You could’ve killed him easily” he stated.
“Would’ve been easy” you muttered leaning back into him arms crossing over your chest.
“You deserve a reward little mouse” he chuckled and you felt your body grow hot.
“It wasn’t anything” you said trying to hide the way your cheeks burned.
“I don’t like mortals” you grumbled and he laughed.
“Based off of one elf?” He chuckled and you pouted feeling his hand spread across your stomach.
“Trust me, mortals can be quite entertaining” he whispered by your ear making you shudder briefly.
You watched as he made a few deals, he was true about his word, mortals were entertaining, selling their souls for something so stupid. You watched and learned, having left his lap long ago as you wandered the room. It smelt of roses and sulphur, petals over the floor and sleek rosewood furniture around the room with a large bed in the middle. You wanted to jump on the bed and sag into it, you wondered if it would be as comfortable as your one at home. The outside world had darkened and one last customer came in, he stank of wine, his soul tainted like the rest.
“Greetings, should you really be here? I like my clients sober” Raphael sneered as the drunkard grinned looking directly at you.
“I thought it just rumours” he laughed as you felt yourself shrink a bit at his intense stare.
“I want to make a deal” he turned to Raphael, but kept his eyes on you.
“I want her” he giggled pointing to you and your rage flared, you wished you were in your devil form, send him running out the door.
“She is not for sale” Raphael’s voice was low and warning, but the drunkard pressed.
“Why she here with you? You never have girls up here!” He said as you moved more to Raphael’s side, going behind him almost.
“Because she’s mine” The way his voice went deadly made shivers go up his spine as hellfire engulfed him and his devil form replaced him.
“Get out” he sneered and the drunkard ran in fear making you smirk slightly. You felt his hell fire heat, you swore you felt his rage also. You hesitated, but moved to stand in front him, his eyes instantly snapping to yours as you cupped his face. You never really got to touch him besides today when you sat upon his lap. The devil frowned at you as you gently stroked his cheek. You leant up and pressed your lips to his the devil growling in response, you did what felt right. His clawed hand grabbed your waist and tugged you closer, his hot lips pressing into yours harder as his nails dug into your flesh. Your body’s went flush together and your warmth radiated the room as you pulled apart.
“You’re playing a dangerous game” he said eyes still on you.
“Am I?” you asked tilting your head as he smirked.

Raphael x devil!reader

Tumblr media
Your surroundings were hotter than usual, your body was hotter than usual. You opened your eyes staring at the deep red ceiling with intricate patterns adorning it. You tilted your head in confusion, where were you? Who were you? You sat up glancing down your body, what were you wearing? A beautiful dress.
“So you’ve awoken” you jolted at the sound of a voice something behind you shuffling. You frowned glancing behind you seeing two red bay like wings.
“They’re wings little mouse” the devil in front of you said, devil? How did you know things and not know who you were?
“Who are you? Where am I? Who am I?” The questions tumbled out and the devil rolled his eyes.
“So my father just gave you knowledge of everything else, but a name?” He scoffed, father?
“Oh delightful” you frowned seeing another devil behind him, one wearing a lot less making you gulp. He held a smirk looking extremely similar to the well dressed devil.
“A new play thing” the almost naked one said.
“No” the nicely dressed one said sternly.
“No fun” the almost naked one sauntered over and you backed up.
“Back off” you snapped wings flurrying in response.
“Oh, feisty I do so love the feisty ones” he chuckled before the devil behind him snapped his fingers and the other devil was gone. You stuttered seeing some smoke left in his place.
“Raphael” he said bowing slightly.
“Uh” you gulped trying to flicker through your mind for a name before you said it.
“Hm, come up with that just now?” He chuckled and you glared.
“I had no other choice!” You snapped as he repeated your new name.
“Good” he said and you felt a tingle go up your spine.
“Now, why are you here little mouse?” He asked, did he just ignore the fact that you now had a name?
“How am I supposed to know?!” You yelled and he raised an eyebrow.
“Loud aren’t you” he sighed.
“I have every right to be” you said huffing as you finally crawled off the bed wincing when you squished your tail? You frowned glancing behind you seeing a tail moving.
“That’s a tail dear” he commented.
“Yeah no shit dumbass!” You said.
“I don’t appreciate your tone little mouse” his tone lowered and you looked back to him, his eyes stern. You gulped slightly muttering an apology.
“Good, at least you’ll be easy to train” he said and your mouth hung open.
“Train? Excuse me I am not a pet” you put your hands on your hip and huffed and he chuckled darkly.
“Oh but you are, the sooner you accept that, the easier this will be” he said and you froze, what is this?
“What exactly is this?” You asked hesitantly and he smirked.
“Hell” he said.
The devil, Raphael had not been lying when he said this was hell, you were literally a slave, doing his dirty work, not like he had real slaves around the house to do all of it, no he wanted to make your life a personal hell. You didn’t even get a chance to find out about yourself who you were, you sometimes go glanced in the mirror, an odd face staring back at you, horns on your head, fangs in your mouth and black filled eyes with colour in the middle. Your wings and tail were difficult, you had trouble controlling them, you assumed it was like your other limbs that seemed to be working just fine, but no, you knocked things over very often and Raphael would sigh or roll his eyes making you clean whatever you knocked over up. You had your own room thankfully, a big bed, a fire place, not that hell really needed more fire. You often spent nights reading whatever books you stole from his library or journaling so you might make sense of who you were and how you knew everything, but yourself. You read about humans, elves, gnomes, teiflings, Dragonborn’s whatever races were in the mortal plain, it fascinated you, you wished to go there to explore learn about their ways and customs. Though if you even hinted it to Raphael he’d snap harder than a belt and send you to your room like a child. You were an adult, physically, you had the body of a woman, you’d stare at yourself sometimes, unsure of what it all meant. You’d touch yourself, run your hands down your hips, your arms and legs, over your chest, only over your chest it felt different, especially over your nipples. It was like a light tingly shock went through you and your lower stomach would clench. You’d explore lower running your finger through your folds and how that same tingly feeling ran up your spine and made you feel good. You focused on one point of your body, rubbing slowly at first with light pressure before building and building till your body shook and euphoria filled your body. You chased that feeling often, enjoying how it made your body shake and jolt, problem was, you only knew it felt good, didn’t know what it meant.
You sat idly in Raphael’s office fiddling with your wings, you found they were also sensitive, making your thighs clench together.
“As much as I enjoy watching you pleasuring yourself we have business” Raphael said and you looked to him as he stood.
“Pleasuring?” You asked and he gave you a questioning look.
“What’s that?” You added and he chuckled lightly.
“So you didn’t come fully aware of your body” he said and you frowned as he walked to you and stood in front of you.
“I can hear you at night, your little gasps and moans, exploring your body” his claw gently traced down your cheek and hooked under your chin, you felt your body shudder and the facial or clench of excitement in your stomach.
“Feels good doesn’t it?” He leant down face inches from yours as you forgot how to breathe. You simply nodded and he smirked, his fangs showing.
“Perhaps when you ‘sneak’ into my library you should look over some romance novels” his claw left your chin and he walked to the door leaving you breathless. Wait he knew about your library stealing?!
You quickly followed him to the soul pillar room as a rune began to glow on the ground.
“I promise I put the books back!” You said as he chuckled.
“Little mouse, I know all about your sneaking around, I know everything that happens in this house, I let you do it” he grinned as he began to mutter some infernal words. You groaned quietly and cursed yourself tail swishing relentlessly behind you.
“Come here” he ordered and you did.
“What’s going on?” You asked as he suddenly waved a spell on you. You froze looking down at your body, no tail, no wings, you felt your head, no horns.
“What did you do?!” You yelled and he winced glaring at you as he changed his form also.
“Making us human” he rolled his eyes as he dragged you into the circle. You almost screamed and closed your eyes tightly as magic pulsed around you and stopped.
“You can open your eyes” Raphael tsked and you let go of your breath and opened your eyes. You frowned at the rather bright interior of whatever house this was.
“Where are we?” You asked curiously as you looked around.
“The devils fee” he said and you raised an eyebrow laughing slightly.
“You’re always childish, Baldurs gate, Faerun” wait, did he say Baldurs gate? You were in the material plain?
“Where in the material plain?” You squealed and he growled making you stop instantly as someone opened the door.
“Raphael what a surprise” a halfling woman said and you stared at her in awe.
“And you brought company, why is she staring like that?” The woman frowned. Raphael clicked his fingers in front of your face and you jolted thinking he cast a spell, but he didn’t.
“Let’s just say she’s been alive for two months” Raphael rolled his eyes and the woman frowned again.
“Alright, come on down” she said walking out the door, you and Raphael following. Your mouth hung open the whole way down the stairs as you began to inspect every skull and trinket she had in her shop before you spotted outside. You stared in awe looking at the clear blue sky and yellow, extremely bright! Sun. You winced and looked away as you saw some people walking by, you stared and walked after them grinning from ear to ear. They walked off quickly, but you got distracted by the walls, the crates, the grass and puddles. You found yourself caught up in a crowd hearing chatter upon chatter, nothing like the house of hopes. You saw a little boy holding up some paper and walked over.
“2 gold ma’am, lasted stories!” He said and you frowned, you didn’t have any gold. You could just take it from him, that wasn’t among human custom though, you think. You smiled and left as you wandered the streets before an angry Raphael appeared in front of you.
“Did I say you could run off?” He said eyes angry.
“You can’t expect me to not run off” you said hands crossing over your chest as he gritted his teeth.
“If you don’t behave I will send you back home” he said and you tensed.
“Fine, but you-“ he raised an eyebrow and you shut up before following him quietly. You wandered the streets your grin coming back as you glanced in buildings the best you could and looked at all the people. You saw some overly large steel beings also, nothing with a soul, just huge things with swords following around armoured men and women, fascinating.
You crossed a bridge heading to another part of the city, you chuckled softly peering over the edge wondering if you could just fly off it only to be pulled back by an angry Raphael.
“Focus” he said and you pouted, but continued to follow him. You finally entered a building, sharess caress, you smiled as you saw people everywhere.
“Welcome back” the older woman smirked behind the counter.
“Oh and you’ve brought company” she winked at you and you smiled.
“Don’t get any ideas” Raphael growled in warning making you frown. The woman laughed and you tensed slightly, but Raphael did nothing.
“Of course, off you go” she shooed you away and you followed Raphael through the building and up the stairs. You frowned walking past doors hearing moans coming from inside.
“No” Raphael said as your hand reached for the door. You groaned and followed him to where he had stopped.
“The devils den?” You questioned seeing the sign.
“Get in” he said and you put your hands up and went inside. You stopped slightly seeing the lovely room. A big bath to your left, fancy rosewood furniture and a large bed at the end on a round platform with petals on the floor.
“Why’re we here?” You asked curiously as you looked through the room.
“We are going to make some deals” he said and you froze.
“Devil deals?” You said.
“Yes” he said apparently unbothered.
“I am not-“ you struggled, you were a devil, you were not a dealing devil.
“A dealing devil!” You said and he raised an eyebrow at you.
“Thats your job! Isn't it?” You gulped finding yourself slightly unstable without your wings or tail.
“This form feels funny” you said glancing behind you, seeing no tail or wings.
“You can’t wander around the city as a devil little mouse, a cat will get you” Raphael said. You frowned slightly hearing a cry next door, you glanced to Raphael who only smirked.
“Should we help them?” You asked gesturing to next door and the devil laughed.
“They don’t need any help my dear” he laughed sitting down on a plush red chair.
“Come” he patted his thigh and you raised an eyebrow in question. The devil gave you a hard stare and you walked over till you were standing in front of him.
“Sit” he gestured to his lap and you hesitated.
“I can grab another chair” you pointed to the wooden one by the desk.
“I said sit” he ordered and you gulped and climbed into his lap. You didn’t put any weight on him, you sat awkwardly on your knees as Raphael looked up at you, head resting on his hand.
“Little mouse how many times must I repeat myself” he said annoyed as his hand rested on your hip and forced you to sit on him. You froze in place arms huddled to your chest as your body ran hotter than normal.
“Good girl” he said and you stared at him wide eyed, your lower stomach clenching.
“Why am I sitting here?” You asked hesitantly as he smirked his hand still on your hip.
“I thought we were devil dealing” you mumbled unable to keep his stare.
“We are” he smirked.
“I’ve read about it, this isn’t how we deal, there’s contracts, manipulation, lying-“ he cut you off with a pointed look and you silenced yourself.
“This isn’t in the books” you mumbled.
“This is in books you haven’t read, little mouse” he said his hand slipping under your shirt. The contact made you gasp quietly, strange to have someone else touch you.
“What books?” You asked hesitantly and he chuckled devishly.

PART 3 Souls coming together (last part most likely)
Ascended Vampire Duke!Astarion x human!reader
(Intertwined with a mortal continuation read part one here)
Warnings: Olden times, age gap, lots of feels, angst, working through trauma, tension, sexual, oral f-receiving, marriage, Astarions trauma and issues, body shaming, harassment, anxiety’s and depression, lotta issues xD
Previous part <-
Tumblr media
You didn’t see the duke for a week and you were going mad. You were thinking the worst happened, either a vampire hunter got him, or he wasn’t drinking again, or he truely gave up this time on you and him. Gods you were a mess, you often writ letters, but never sent them, you tried to avoid public outings because of chatter and whispers. It was becoming a little to stressful on your omega self, it was the eighth night now and you were putting on a hood, some of your oldest gross clothing you could find before you glanced out your window. You hesitated freezing when your door opened.
“Lady Y/n?” Your servant asked and you turned around ushering her in and closing the door as softly as you could before sighing.
“May I ask what’s going on?” She said slightly amused.
“I’m going-“ you stopped feeling your cheeks warm.
“To see Duke Ancunin?” She finished and you groaned quietly.
“It’s been eight days! Eight! He missed the party which was horrible anyway, he hasn’t visited either!” You felt over worried.
“Sneaking out the window is the best idea, come” she smiled and you froze, she was going to help you? She led you out one of the back doors and onto the street without being heard or seen, you were surprised at how sneaky she was as she gave you a grin and ushered you off.
“Is this really wise?” You suddenly asked and she huffed.
“Fine, come on then, I doubt you even know where to go” she rolled her eyes taking your hand and leading you down the streets of Baldurs gate. You ended up at the dukes place with little trouble, a few odd looks by those without homes, but they didn’t comment or trouble you.
“This is highly inappropriate!” You whispered stopping her.
“You wanted to do this” she stated.
“Shhh! I wanted to see him, without actually seeing him!” You groaned quietly making your servant raise her eyebrow.
“That makes total sense, come, I know a man here” she said and by the look on her face she knew him very well. She knocked with a rhythm and an elf opened the door.
“Laria? What on earth are you doing here?” Asked looking to you before his eyes went wide.
“You bought a lady of your house?! Are you mad?!” He snapped as she huffed at the poor beta.
“Let us in” she said and the elf groaned, but let you in.
“The master is not going to be happy” he mumbled.
“Is he alive?” You asked.
“He’s alive” The elf said vaguely and your stomach churned.
“He’s not himself” the elf added making your stomach churn even worse.
“I don’t know what’s gotten into him lately” the elf sighed and your servant smirked.
“I do” she grinned and you glared at her.
“Besides the lady! This should be a blessing finding your mate instead he’s acting like this!” The elf sighed body sagging.
“I try to talk to him and it goes sour really quickly, by either of us, I don’t know what’s going on or how to talk to him” you said sadly.
“Maybe you should go see him” the elf said.
“Come” he added beginning to walk up the stairs. You followed him your servant by your side before he stopped in front of a door. Light shone through the bottom and you gulped slightly. You sensed him in there and you knew he did too by the silence.
“Maybe this was a bad idea” the elf muttered and you huffed hand reaching out to the door with shakiness. You took a breath before opening the door frowning a bit at the utter chaos of the office. Books were everywhere, papers had flow everywhere, things were broken and smashed. You saw him in the corner of the room sitting on the floor his eyes staring at you. You closed the door behind you and shrugged off your cloak and hung it up on the surprisingly standing hanger.
“Why’re you here?” The duke asked.
“How are here?” He added a frown on his face.
“I snuck out” you said gulping as his eyes narrowed. He was suddenly in front of you and you let out a small gasp.
“You shouldn’t walk around at night” he said eyes boring into yours.
“Astar- duke Ancunin, I haven’t seeing you in eight days, you missed the party and I am concerned for your well being” you spoke softly and kept your eyes from his.
“After our last encounter something happened” you said looking to him.
“Nothing happened” he said and you saddened.
“We can’t keep doing this” you muttered.
“Doing what?” He asked and you clenched your jaw briefly.
“Shutting everything out or off, avoiding actual conversation, simply dancing and expecting it to work- I” you took a shaky breath.
“I want to know you” you said looking to him again, his eyes widened as he stared at you.
“Whatever demons or past haunts you, you don’t have to say, I just-“ you sighed again.
“I want to know my mate, be with him, more than dance and fake lives” you whispered looking to the ground again.
“I will marry you, if that’s what it takes” you added searching his eyes only his walls were too high. You sagged again, stomach dropping and the same feeling of rejection settled in again.
“Then we shall marry” he said and you looked up to him in surprise. You couldn’t read his expression though.
“If that’s what you desire” he nodded and you shook your head.
“What do you want?” You almost begged.
“It can’t just be one sided it’s a union of two people! Two souls!” You gestured between the both of you and he frowned.
“Please, what do you want?” You begged finally trying to hold onto a sliver of hope.
“You” he muttered his eyes on you so intently it made you shudder. He hesitated briefly making you frown slightly before lips pressed against yours. You made a surprised noise, but quickly welcomed him your hands cupping his face. His hands grabbed your waist, tugging you closer before backing you up to the wall. You moaned quietly one hand tangling in his hair the other resting on his chest, gripping the white frilled shirt he wore. His hands ran over your sides, squeezing the flesh as he went sending your body alight. You made small noises opening your mouth hoping to get air. He pulled back only to kiss down your jaw and to your neck as he began untying the back of your dress in haste. You tilted your head panting harshly as he managed to slip your dress off, leaving in your undergarments and slip. You felt your cheeks go hot as he moved from your neck back to your lips, tongue prodding against your lips. You parted your lips letting his tongue slide in. He moved you both and you fell on a lounge, him following. You gripped the hem of his shirt and tugged it up, he pulled apart letting you lift it over his head. You threw it on the floor and held his face as you kissed him again, he rested his hips on yours as your hands glided up his arms and into his back. You felt him freeze instantly though as your finger went over raised skin. You looked to him feeling more raised skin in a pattern, what was it? Before you could ask you saw his eyes glaze over like they did when you last met. You panicked a bit cupping his cheeks instead.
“Astarion?” You asked breathlessly and worried, he couldn’t exactly disappear in his own house. You frowned slightly an image flashing in your mind, people locked in in a prison, a man’s face with a sinister grin, the same man bloodied and dead on the floor, you felt power flooding through you, heard screams of many. You opened your eyes with a groan before panting harshly as Astarion shook above you. You focused back on him, who was that man? What had happened there? You tugged him to you gently, forcing him gently to lay on you. You kept your arms around him fingers lightly massaging his scalp. You didn’t know what to do, didn’t know what was happening, but you felt his need to be safe, find somewhere safe, you just hoped you could provide it.

Tumblr media
After the party you felt an eagerness to get home, wanting the comforts of your room, but also having the duke visiting. Gods your thoughts went sinful, you quickly changed then as you arrived home. You said your goodnights, not wanting to talk about what happened to your parents. You told your servant to leave you also and she did with a sad smile. You sat in front of your mirror staring at yourself, hating how everything felt bigger, uglier the longer you stared. You looked away with a small noise of disgust before you turned to your painting, it was two lovers, dancing in the garden at night. You sagged a bit trying to find the pins in your hair before you jumped at a voice.
“Let me” you looked in the mirror and saw no one, you glanced behind you and saw the duke. You nodded letting your hands rest in your lap as you felt him pull the four pins out that were holding your hair. You felt your cheeks go warm and glanced in the mirror again, odd seeing your hair move almost on its own. You felt him move your hair to the side, undoing the silver necklace you had and laying it on the table before he moved to your earrings. This felt oddly intimate as he laid the earrings on the table and grabbed your brush.
“I thought we were going to talk” you stopped him, speaking in a hushed tone.
“You reek of anxiety’s, I know this soothes some women” he said and for some reason you found yourself jealous and frowning. You snatched your hair brush back and laid it on the table turning to him.
“I don’t need to calm down” you said standing up as he smirked.
“Speak!” You huffed at him and he raised an eyebrow.
“You suggested this since you care now” you crumbled and his gaze hardened and his brows furrowed.
“The lady’s what do they say?” He asked and you tensed.
“Can you not hear them?” You said, didn’t he have super hearing or something.
“Darling it’s hard to focus when you’re in my arms and your heart pounds in my ear” he said smirking and you found yourself flushed.
“Doesn’t matter then” you said struggling with your dress ties, finding it hard to breathe.
“It’s upsetting you a great deal so it does matter and my alternative wouldn’t be appropriate” he said softly by your ear making you shudder as you felt his hands untie your dress.
“What alternative?” You dared asked.
“Murder” he said simply and your mouth hung open and you glanced to him.
“What are you doing?” You slapped his hands away holding the dress up.
“You are uncomfortable in this clothing” he stated and you sighed pinching the bridge of your nose.
“This is something a husband does! Not you!” You snapped quietly.
“Get out, just go away, this was an excellent talk, please leave” you gestured to the door seeing his frown briefly as you avoided his Ruby eyes.
“What do they say?” He asked voice firm and ordering, it made you shudder.
“Things Astarion!” You snapped again.
“Duke Ancunin” you quickly corrected, cheeks hot from embarrassment.
“In the future don’t ask me to dance” you said suddenly and he froze.
“Clearly this” you gestured between you both.
“Is just-“ you struggled with words and he growled lips capturing yours quickly in a possessive kiss. you whimpered softly your omega side instantly submitting despite your feelings. His hands went to your hips, pulling you flush against him while your hands held his biceps.
“I will do, what I please, with my mate” he muttered against your lips before he moved down to kiss your jaw then your neck. Your heart fluttered as one of his hands slid up your waist and the other went to lift your thigh, holding your leg against him. Your body felt like it was on fire as you struggled to breathe properly. His fangs caressed your skin and you shuddered gripping his arm tightly. You felt excitement light up in your body as he gently sucked, but didn’t pierce the skin. He let out a raspy breath against your skin and you felt him shudder under your touch before he pulled back, your leg slipping from his hold. You frowned, something in his eyes glazed over and his face looked scared.
“Duke Ancunin?” You asked softly as he looked to you, but it felt like he was stuck in his mind.
“Astarion?” You said softly lifting a hand to cup his cheek. He flinched though and you frowned softly before trying again, successful this time.
“Where are you?” you whispered in question softly, his eyes focused back and he frowned stepping away from you quickly. He was gone in an instant, a grey mist remnant in place of where he was before it faded quickly. You stood confused and flushed what had he been thinking?

(Should I make a Wyll story like this?)
Tumblr media
The social season was continuing on, lords and lady’s were finding their matches and spending quality time with their matches as their bonds strengthened, or depleted. Seems this season was up and down for most of the lady’s, whatever was in the air was toxic.
You’d had a total of five dances with the duke after his ‘proposal’ you felt like he was still a mystery though. You knew of his confliction though, his vampirism, his emotional side, his non-talkative side, his dick head side and you still knew nothing. He thankfully hasn’t given you any midnight visits in your room again, though the only time you spent together was dinner or at a party. At dinner he would put on a perfect act, smile and speak about his trades and life that you felt like he made up. When asked about his parents you felt his anxiety’s like your own, before he’d cover it with a story you didn’t believe one bit. You hated his perfect act, not when you’ve seen him so broken and he’s seen you so broken, maybe it’d all been for naught.
There was yet another party tonight, you hated it even more now you were dancing with the duke. People would whisper about you, they never said anything nice. They’d say you were just looking for attention, that you were just another bed warmer, seeking high company because you looked the way you did. It all hurt, their words stung you like bees. You weren’t right for the duke, not in looks, personality, anything really, you were opposites. When the duke would initiate a dance you disliked it, hated how the people talked, the older lady’s whispering, giggling or glaring. You would stare at his chest or the floor, you’d try to focus on his scent, his coolness, but it never worked. The whispers felt like loud laughter and snarky comments echoing in your mind, their looks were enough to send you to your knees had you not been held up, and all the while you felt like the duke never noticed, or didn’t care, after all he was ‘stuck with you’.
This party felt worse than the rest, it was clear now who was getting with who, what matches worked and what ones didn’t, gossip flying around like flys to food. Your family had suffered also, whispers about them led your mother to be embarrassed and ashamed while your father tried to hold it all together and talk such gossip away, but lady’s were lady’s.
You stood by Jen and Karlach sipping the sparkling fruit juice that was on the table. You didn’t see or sense the duke tonight and for some reason you felt happy about it, relieved. Jen and Karlach were talking while you simply listened before you saw Duke Ravengard coming over.
“Lady’s” he greeted with a smile, the omega lady Lila on his arms smiling also.
“Duke Ravengard” Jen bowed respectfully as did Karlach before he looked to you. You smiled at the couple, greeting them also.
“So has there been a proposal yet?” Jen said cheekily with a slight smirk making the poor omega flush embarrassed and Wyll chuckle nervously.
“Not yet” he said.
“Soon hopefully” Lady Lila said and you nodded smiling, but found a bittersweet jealousy lodged in your mind.
“I was just coming over if you’d like a dance, Lady Y/n, Duke Ancunin doesn’t seem to be here” Wyll said with a frown glancing over the crowd.
“Oh, no that’s highly inappropriate-“ you nodded to Lady Lila who smiled brightly shaking her head.
“Nonsense I do not mind, besides I need a drink” she said as she let Wylls arm go and pushed his hand out to you.
“Be my guest” she chuckled and you gulped, but nodded. You to the dukes hand feeling the familiar warmth. A country song began to play and the dance was more upbeat than the last as you began. You felt the stared the murmurs, going in a circle you heard some of their words.
“Stealing an already taken duke? Gods”
“Who does she think she is?”
“Like the duke would ever willingly dance with her, her family probably paid him”
“Looking like that? Most certainly had some agreement”
“Thought she was warming Duke Ancunin bed”
You stopped when the comments became too much, tears in your eyes as you rushed out the home, Duke Ravengard calling to you.
You ran into the gardens and sobbed, leaning against the small garden shed. You cried softly hanging your head in shame.
“Lady-“ you heard Duke Ravengard and looked up seeing him. He spotted you and you took off again, gods why was he out here?
“Gods go away!” You said as he followed you a frown on his face.
“Can’t you hear them?!” You snapped as he looked to you.
“It was a simple dance” he said and you scoffed.
“Duke Ravengard” you felt your body shudder at the sound of your vampire mate, he wore a black and red suit with silver embroidery.
“Duke Ancunin” Wyll nodded.
“Is something the matter?” Duke Ancunin looked to you as you spoke and you sighed.
“Alone again in the garden with two men! Truely I will be more to talk about, please, just go” you said sagging. Duke Ravengard nodded with a sad look on his face and left while your vampire mate stayed.
“What has happened?” He asked walking closer making you tense.
“Did you not hear a word I just said?” You asked.
“I did, however you are in distress, your scent is like rotten cakes and you’re trembling” he said glancing over you as he stood in front of you.
“Now, tell me what happened” he said eyes gazing at you. You cursed him silently and looked away, praying nobody would come.
“Silly womanly things you shouldn’t concern yourself with” you huffed arms crossing and resting by your stomach. He took a small breath, like he was sniffing.
“You’re not on your cycle or due” he said and you felt your cheeks burn.
“You don’t know that!” You said embarrassed.
“I would smell your slick, the change in your scent” he grinned lightly and you glared.
“That doesn’t matter, that’s not what I’m talking about either! Gods!” You groaned almost wanting to stomp your foot.
“You’re a man, a wealthy man you have no worries, now please leave before someone comes and decides to gossip more!” You huffed feeling your shoulders sag.
“What are they speaking about? You?” He asked head tilted and you stared at him, was he interested? Now?!
“You care now?” You blurted before you instantly regretted it and saw hurt flash across his face.
“Astar- Duke Ancunin please leave” you said gesturing to the exit as he narrowed his eyes.
“Why must you be so stubborn?” He tsked and you glared.
“Why must you be such an asshole?” You put your hands on your hips and gave him a look. He kept your gaze and you almost cracked till he chuckled lightly.
“Cheeky little pup” he said and you felt your cheeks go hot again.
“Perhaps we should talk tonight, after this party?” He said a new seriousness in his tone, an unknown look in his face also.
“I- alright” you sighed.
“After the party how?” You asked confused and he smiled.
“A late night visit” he simply said beginning to walk away leaving you with your mouth hung open.

Tumblr media
Your father and mother stood by the entrance way to the dining table while you held the duke. Your mother glanced to your father worried while your father kind of just stared.
“Seems you two need a long talk, come love” your father said urging your mother back into the dining room.
“Astarion” you muttered softly as the elf stood straighter glancing around. The servants were avoiding looking, but they’d seen everything. You saw a broken man in front of you, his cheeks stained with tears.
“Apologies my lady” he said straightening himself up his walls coming back up.
“There’s no issues my duke” you assured, but he shook his head.
“This was a shameful act-“ you sighed as he began and he frowned.
“Shameful would be not showing your emotions” you cut in and he stuttered slightly.
“I cannot argue with you” he said and you smiled slightly.
“Good” you teased lightly seeing the smirk that graced his lips.
“I suggest you head back home for now, rest and tomorrow we shall talk ok?” You said and the vampire nodded.
“No midnight visits!” You hissed softly so only he could hear and he grinned making you slap his arm lightly.
“I’m sorry again Milady, I shall see you tomorrow” he held your hand and pressed it against his lips before leaving. You sighed a little loudly and saw your parents come back out. You didn’t want to talk, not right now.
“The duke will return tomorrow for a proper talk, I suggested he go home and calm himself before tomorrow” you nodded and your mother nodded back. You began to go up the stairs your mother stuttering before she silenced and let you leave.
You collapsed on your bed your tears rolling free at the amount of emotions you held in gods what a mess.
When morn came you waited in the dining room, dressed nicely, hair done. There was a party tonight as well, gods you didn’t want to go, but it was expected of you. You’re sure you’d get talked about, your disappearing, the dukes visiting and going. A knock came and your mum and dad stood while you stayed seated suddenly immobile. Your heart pounded and you stared at your hands in your lap, nervously picking at your nails. You sensed him before he walked through the door, red eyes finding yours instantly. You stood up quickly, a little too quickly, you almost fell back down.
“Milady” the duke nodded.
“Duke Ancunin” you bowed your head slightly offering the spot beside you as you sat again. Your parents sat by the fire place while you sat in the other end of the room. You didn’t know what to say, heart pounding in your chest and ears. A hand held yours suddenly and you stuttered in confusion as the duke took your hand into his lap instead.
“You’ll hurt your delicate hands” he said running his thumb over your fingers gently. You felt your cheeks go hot as he continued to hold your hand, staring at it.
“I believe apologies are in order” you said suddenly and his eyes met yours.
“It was most improper and unlady like of me to yell and turn you down” what the hell were you saying? The duke stared at you with a frown as you took your hand away.
“There is a party tonight I expect you will be there to dance?” You said as continued to stare confused.
“Good” you stood brushing your dress off.
“Tonight then” you said bowing your head as he stood also, but you were already gone. Your whole body trembled and your mind screamed at you as you made it to your room and closed the door. You collapsed to the ground crying again as you smacked your forehead. You winced quickly rubbing the spot before you heard your parents knock and call. You shook your head keeping your back against the door before the left. You cursed yourself continuing to softly bang your hand against your head. You gasped though when hands took your wrists and pulled them away from your head.
“I don’t appreciate my mate hurting herself” the duke muttered and you glared but it left quickly. You struggled in his hold before he tugged you to him knocking you both over, you lying atop him.
“No- no” Astarion forced you to lay there and you have in quickly, your tears staining his tailored coat. You laid there for a while, your breathing evening out, your mind going numb. The dukes hand rubbed the back of your neck gently something commonly done to calm omegas.
Astarion had been utterly confused by your lack of wanting to speak and your apology. You had glazed over, avoided your feelings and he didn’t know why. He’d been the one to do it to, but seeing you do it? His dead heart was stabbed again. When you bid him farewell and left he left also, only with the intent to appear in your room which he did. He felt your emotions strongly the moment he got into the carriage, he told the driver to head home while he entered the mist and went into your room. You were on the floor shaking and crying softly hitting yourself, gods.
He felt what you felt strongly, he was just unsure what brought it on, why you were doing this. When you both ended up on the ground his body gladly accepted the weight of you on him, his body hummed. You however were intent on getting up, but he forced you to lay there, hand on the back of your neck massaging. You calmed down, your heart slowed and your scent returned to normal despite the blandness it held.
“We need to talk” he began and felt you sag.
“Course” you mumbled.
“What happened?” He asked and you tensed briefly.
“It’s too much” you whispered and he felt his heart clench again.
“I don’t know what I’m doing” you added and his free arm twitched to hold you.
“Gods I’m stupid” you whispered.
“You are not” he fought, before regretting his tone. He’d put this on you, his little mate. You laid their body basking in being in contact with him. You prayed your parents wouldn’t walk in other wise you would have to marry him. What happened to you? You don’t even know, you felt some overwhelmed the moment he came in and then nothing. Your mate had been through so much more, being a vampire, he didn’t know his family, who knows what troubles he’s faced and here you were breaking down because you couldn’t handle your feelings. You glanced to his free arm lying beside you, gods you were probably squishing him. You tried to will your body up, you felt numb though. You forced it though, forced yourself up and off him. He sat up also frowning slightly as you quickly looked away.
“I don’t know what came over me” you muttered biting your inner cheek.
“You’re overwhelmed, love” he said softly the name rolling off his tongue.
“Overwhelmed? By what? Finally finding my mate?” You scoffed angered with yourself.
“You’ve been through far worse, I can’t imagine what, you said you didn’t even know your family and here I-“ he cut you off.
“It doesn’t matter what I’ve been through, I’ve been here far longer, I know how to handle things” he said.
“You shouldn’t have too!” You fought and he blinked in surprise.
“You should be weeping, angry I don’t know!” You struggled for breath again as you tried to calm your heart.
“Here I am a stupid fat omega girl, fated to a beautiful duke” you muttered those words, but he heard them.
“Come off it, don’t ever talk about yourself like that again” he said voice deadly serious it made you tense.
“You are the beautiful creature I’ve laid eyes on in my two centuries, if I could see myself I wouldn’t compare” he said and you felt your heart warm despite his light joke at the end.
“I don’t know what I’m doing either” you said sighing again and sagging.
“Then we’ll figure it out together” he said a smile gracing his lips.

Tumblr media
You'd rushed to bed and almost hid under the covers, gods help you. You silently screamed into your blanket as you kept it over your head and huffed.
“Little pup” you shot up like you did last night staring at the duke in front of you. The vampire in front of you.
“No, I will scream-“ you said as he stalked closer, but stopped at your words.
“I want to talk” he said eyes seeming to avoid yours.
“Yes, please do!” You snapped glaring at him.
“You bit me! You’re a-“ you stopped as he finally looked to you.
“A vampire” he finished and you nodded sharply.
“Exactly” you stated wondering why you weren’t screaming or even mad at him. You forced your face to show anger, but for some reason you didn’t feel it.
“How did I not see the signs” you groaned, two hundred years of confliction? Fangs? Red eyes?! Were you stupid?!
“Because I’m very good at hiding” he said and you huffed.
“Why am I not angry at you?!” You demanded and he smirked slightly before it quickly left.
“Because I wasn’t lying when I said you were my mate” he said and you froze a bit.
“A vampires mate? Gods, I’m going insane” you rested your head in your hands and sighed.
“You’re made for me, made to need me, made to be alright with this” he gestured to himself briefly.
“I’m not alright!” You said, but found it not fully being true.
“So what it’s magic?” You scoffed.
“More powerful” he said and you groaned quietly.
“So you just never spoke to me because of this? Led me on, then broke my heart?” You said and guilt filled his features.
“This is hard on me also” he growled.
“No, no it’s not because you had no issue rejecting me!” You snapped.
“Miss?” You froze at the knock on your door. The vampire suddenly atop of you hand on your mouth, eyes staring at you.
“Are you alright? I heard chatter?” The servant added as the vampire slowly moved his hand.
“I’m alright! Sorry I just lost something” you lied.
“Alright miss, did you need help?” She added.
“No! No thank you I found it” you said heart pounding in your chest.
“Very well, Goodnight Miss” she said.
“Night” you called and almost collapsed as her footsteps left.
“Get off” you weakly shoved at his chest finding it difficult to think with him atop you. He was straddling your legs, his coldness present, now you knew why. His scent filled your nose and you finally looked to him. Your body craved something, you didn’t know what as you looked to your hands against his chest. He wore formal day attire, strange for this time of night really.
“Omega” he muttered and you jolted stomach doing a flip as you looked to him.
“No, no” you mumbled sighing closing your eyes briefly. Lips pressed to yours and you felt yourself give in quickly to the new feeling. Your hands clenched his coat the best you could as you lied back down on your pillows and brought him with you. You whined softly as his hand cupped your neck and he tilted your head more, deepening the kiss. You opened your lips trying to breathe, but he took the opportunity to push his tongue past your lips and taste you. One of your hands moved to tangle in his hair, clenching the soft white curls. You pulled back panting harshly as air filled your lungs while his mouth went to your neck and kissed the mark he’d left. You tensed a bit, but the kisses were soft.
“I should have never of harmed you” he growled and you felt your body shudder.
“You looked starving” you mumbled as he continued to kiss your neck.
“I had a moment of weakness” he snapped lifting his head and for some reason his words hurt.
“I’m a weakness?” You asked and he frowned emotions swirling in his eyes. He just kissed you again not answering your question.
“I’ll see you tomorrow pup” he said climbing off the bed.
“I’ll be-“ he disappeared before you could say anything more.
“Out” you finished before a growl left your lips and you slammed a pillow over your face to groan.
You were annoyed when you awoke. The servants unfortunately catching your annoyance and leaving quickly. You were on edge, wanting more and wanting to smack his handsome face. He didn’t talk to you, you had no idea what was going on his mind. You went out despite his words going with your mum to the bakery and seamstress. You felt calmer after that and happier. As you entered your home you felt the air shift and glanced slightly into the dining room seeing the duke there talking to your father. You cursed silently before your mum saw him and smiled brightly and urged you in the room. The two men stood and you were forced to greet the duke by your mother.
“Duke Ancunin what a surprise” she gushed and you almost rolled your eyes.
“If I’d known you were visiting we wouldn’t have gone out” she chuckled.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” She said to you.
“She didn’t know lady Y/L/n” Duke Ancunin said.
“Oh a surprise visit, how exciting” your mother chuckled.
“Well you two chat, I’ll go get some cakes and tea prepared” your mum said going to move before the duke spoke.
“Actually I require your attention” The duke said and she frowned as did you. What was he up too?
“Oh? Of course” your mother nodded nudging your arm slightly.
“Continue” you said and she huffed.
“I’ve come to ask for your daughters hand” Duke Ancunin said and your mouth hung open. Your mother looked surprised, but to excited and happy while your father smiled slightly.
“Oh this is wonderful news!” She didn’t question the duke and you glared at him.
“Oh a proposal” she hugged your arm as you stared at the duke. He held the same blank neutral stare he always did, you had no idea what he was thinking as he pulled out a ring. It was a silver banded ring with a Ruby a top it, two black gems either side of it down the band. He walked forward to you as you stared blankly now as he held your hand.
“No” you said making your family freeze.
“Darling” your mother chuckled nervously.
“No mother” you said sternly and she flinched slightly.
“That’s no way to talk to your mother” your father said frowning.
“A word, Duke Ancunin” you sneered grabbing his arm and tugging him into the hallway, Ignoring your calls. You slapped him harshly across the face the sound echoing off the walls. His red eyes flared slightly as he stared at you.
“You cannot treat me like this, you cannot ignore me, not talk to me, reject me! show me your darkest secret, come to me and expect me to marry you! I know nothing about you!” You spoke quietly, but your tone was filled with anger.
Astarion was surprised by your actions and words to your parents as you dragged him out. He wasn’t completely thinking properly, his mind was scrambled and he didn’t understand what was happening himself. When he came to your room last night it was out of pure selfishness, he needed to be near you again, and with the way your body reacted, you did too. He couldn’t keep doing this eventually you’d get caught and it would ruin you both, so he resorted to this, trapping you with him, gods he was stupid. Your slap came like a cold shard of ice against his cheek and his hunger grew out of anger before it died down instantly as you spoke. Your words were true you knew nothing about him, while he knew basic things about you, your favourite colour, favourite flower and food, how you enjoyed painting, your rides together where only you telling him about yourself and he liked it more than anything, but it wasn’t a one way conversation. Your face held anger, confusion you were trembling slightly, your usual sweet omega scent was sour.
“I don’t know what I’m doing” he whispered suddenly and you froze. You stared at him, fear, confliction and confusion in his face. His jaw was tightly clenched as he avoided your eyes.
“What do you mean?” You asked your anger slipping too quickly for your liking.
“I don’t know how to do this” he added as you still frowned shaking your head slightly, you didn’t understand.
“I don’t know how to love someone” his words barely reached your ear and you felt your heart shatter.
“I’ve never had a family, I don’t remember my family-“ you saw tears in his eyes and suddenly you hugged him. You tugged him down to you, hand going in his hair the other around his shoulder as he leant against your shoulder. He trembled in your hold and you hushed him. You held him tightly, what had happened to your mate?

Tumblr media
You felt like your heart had been ripped out and thrown into a fire. You didn't leave your bed and you barely touched your food. Jen and Karlach were over often just being with you, you felt bad for taking time out of their day, but they often insisted. You think it's been about three days since your rejection, you didn’t tell your parents about any of it, you just hid in your room hoping they’d pull you out of the season. Karlach and Jen had gone home and the house was finally asleep while you stared at the ceiling. Your candles were still lit, the flame flickering the shadows. You sighed heavily hoping you’d pass out eventually till you heard something. You frowned a scream in your throat as you saw Duke Ancunin in your room. He slammed a hand over your mouth his body was shaking and he panted harshly as he stared you in the eyes. Your chest heaved as you mumbled against his hand. He looked ravenous, he wore a fancy white frilled shirt, the ties undone it was dishelved against his body. He had black leather clad pants and no shoes apparently, more importantly how the hell did he get in here?!
“Don’t scream” he said breathless and you gave him a glare.
“Don’t” he added returning your stern look. You grumbled against his hand as he removed it and crawled off the bed.
“What in-“ before you could yell at him he glared pressing his hand back to your mouth.
“Don’t wake everyone” he ordered and you growled against his hand going to bite it.
“Ah ah-“ he pulled his hand away before you could.
“Give me one good reason not to wake everyone” you hissed hating the way your body was feeling better now that he was around. He looked horrible though, then again so did you, not that you cared.
“I thought you rejected me?” You scoffed crossing your arms and he growled.
“For your safety” he snapped.
“Then why are you here? How did you get here?” You added no doors where opened nor was the windows.
“Doesn’t matter” he said still panting as he suddenly climbed onto the bed. You stuttered lying back onto the pillows as he crawled over you.
“I need a taste” he said breathlessly and your cheeks went hot.
“No, what the hell are you doing here? If someone caught you-“ you pushed against his chest, but he didn’t budge. His head leant down as his lips ghosted your neck. You froze wondering what was happening.
“Duke Ancunin” you muttered and he growled hand going to your hair tilting your head to the side. You gasped when cold shards went into your neck, your mind couldn’t process what was happening as he trembled and sucked harshly against your neck. Your hands gripped his shoulders trying to push him off, he bit down harder making you groan in pain. You tried saying his title again in a stutter before you said his name.
“Astarion” you said and he snapped up. His eyes glowed slightly blood dripping down his mouth as he panted. He just bit you and drank, oh gods. It clicked as you went to scream but his hand went over your mouth again and you screamed into that. Your eyes were wide as you stared at him in fear. Guilt flashed over his face as he stuttered and suddenly disappeared in a mist. You shot up hand on your neck feeling the two puncture wounds, he was a vampire.
Morn came, but you got no sleep desperately trying to figure out how to hide the holes in your neck. You tried to start the morning like normal to avoid suspicion that the duke had been in your room at night and sucked your blood. You hated yourself though, god feeling him against you had been more good than bad. You tried to ignore conversation, tried to hide under a scarf saying you were cold before hiding back in your room and panicking. Karlach and Jen didn’t come over as they told you yesterday, they had some things to do. You were going crazy however constantly glancing in the mirror at the two puncture holes in your neck, had he marked you in a mating sense?! You sat down taking a deep breath feeling like you were going to explode.
Night took too long to get here, you were brushing your hair a little furiously when a knock came. You jumped and quickly covered your neck straining a ‘come in’. Your mother walked in a small smile on her face as she sat down on the edge of your bed and you turned to face her pretending to still brush your hair so it hid the marks.
“I just wanted to have a small talk-“ she began and you nodded.
“You’ve been terribly sad in the way of rejection, we haven’t seen or heard from the duke- I, what happened?” She asked
“Nothing, nothing happened, it’s fine I’m sure he’s just unwell” you chuckled nervously waving her off and she raised her eyebrows. Yes unwell, he’s a vampire!
“Are you ok?” She asked and you nodded.
“I think I need some time out the house? Tomorrow do we have plans?” You asked rushed and she shook her head.
“We can go to the bakery, I need to get some things from the seamstress also” she said.
“Excellent tomorrow then, I’m going to head to bed, awfully tired” you said and she frowned slightly, but nodded and stood. You gave her a quick hug and kiss on the cheek and led her out saying goodnight and closing the door. You let your breath go and went to bed and fell into it, groaning in the pillow.
He’d messed up, messed up bad, he’d gone to your room in a mist, took your blood and revealed his secret. After his words he felt like a thousand daggers had stabbed his stomach. He didn’t drink, didn’t leave his office forcing himself to work with no sleep. His personal servant Luris had worried over him, but he’d snapped at him and sent him off. It’d been three days since he fed and he was going crazy, his body shook, his fangs ached and his mind was in a craze of needing blood, your blood. He’d disappeared quickly and found himself in your room, he found your room easily and appeared quickly crawling onto your bed with his vampiric speed and pressed a hand to your mouth. Your face was confused and shocked then angry, you’d almost bit his hand hand which would have made him smirk if he wasn’t in bloodlust.
Your scent didn’t help, it filled his senses and he found himself needing you more as he leant into your neck and listened to your heartbeat pound in his ears. You weren’t processing what he was doing, lying in shock as he felt fire ignite. Your sweet blood filled his mouth and he sucked greedily no doubt going leaving a bruise and puncture marks. His hand clenched in your hair and he felt his craze spurred on, he needed to devour you. He was thankful for the dull lit room he was straining against his pants, gods. When he heard his name fall from his lips it was like a switch flipping and he pulled off you stuttering in shock. You went to scream again and he slammed his hand over your mouth in a panic before disappearing into the mist. When he got home he panted leaning against the door before he sunk to the floor head hung, your blood drying down his lips and chin.

Tumblr media
You had awoken in better spirits, you felt calmer than the previous week. You stayed in the living room simply doing some cross stitch while your mother sighed and muttered to your father. They had worried about your issues with Duke Wyll and Duke Ancunin. A knock brought your mum to her feet quickly as she practically ran to the door. You stood placing down your cross stitch, you knew who it was, already sensed him as he appeared in the doorway. He had flowers that your mum had already taken off him and placed on the table.
“Duke Ancunin” you greeted as he smiled a little slyly.
“Milady” he pressed a kiss to the back of your hand and you glanced at your mother who almost squealed making you glare at her briefly.
“Shall we?” He asked and you frowned slightly as he held his arm out for you to take.
“Of course” you said taking his arm and heading outside to his carriage.
You sat in the carriage in silence unsure of where you were going or if it was just a ride. You glanced at the duke his eyes looking out the window, he held himself so elegantly.
“You’re staring” his eyes looked at you before his head moved.
“Apologies, Duke Ancunin,” you said looking away embarrassed as he tilted his head a smirk on his lips.
“Tell me, your little rouse with Duke Ravengard-“ you tensed the moment he mentioned Wyll and you gulped.
“Never mind,” he said and you frowned slightly looking at him.
“Duke Ravengard is a friend,” you said.
“A lady’s rouse is her own” he added and you stared as his eyes glazed over, like he was fighting questions and the subject in his head. Did he not want to know? He had a right to know you supposed.
As you spent more time with Duke Ancunin you realised how little he talked, if a topic was brought up he’d shut it down instantly whether he asked or not. He’d avoid talking at all, you felt like he was just a body there and you felt lonely. He didn’t act like he did when he first met you, with no sky smirks and flirtatious comments, he seemed to shut off, not interested and it broke your heart. You’d cry at nighttime thinking about what you had done wrong, you didn’t even do anything and it was wrong. You’d try to speak with him, about things you liked, but it felt like he wasn’t listening the more you spoke so you’d stop.
Another party, another dreaded time. You weren’t feeling a hundred per cent, your body was sore and you felt like sleeping all day. You had no fever no signs of sickness either, the doctor said you were perfectly healthy, then why the hell did you feel like this? Your mother didn’t force you to come, but you wanted to glare at the duke all night.
“You look like shit” Karlach said making Jen spit her drink.
“God's sake Karlach” she huffed at the alpha who chuckled.
“What’s going on?” Karlach added as you stared blankly at the floor. You mumbled an ‘I don’t know’ and shrugged sipping your fresh juice.
“Don’t shrug me, you look unwell, why the hells are you here?” She asked and you shrugged again.
“This is why I didn’t have children” Karlach grumbled.
“Is it the duke?” Jen asked and you shrugged again feeling your stomach drop at the mention of him.
“What’s been going on?” Karlach pressed and you sighed.
“He’s a shutdown, non-talker, who doesn’t seem to give a shit or is interested in me!” You growled making both alphas tense and the ladies near you scoffed and walked away.
“Bastards been toying with me from the start and I truly felt a connection like some needy omega virgin” Your words held venom as you spat them.
“Stupid, I could’ve had a perfectly good husband in Wyll, but no” you sneered sensing him.
“Oh look there’s the prick right now” you scoffed seeing him talking with some other gentlemen. You stared at him arms crossed over your chest as you glared daggers into his head.
“I said he was no good” Jen commented and Karlach huffed at her.
“You were correct,” you said hoping he’d look this way so you could death glare him and he falls on the floor. Your body felt weak suddenly though and you cursed Karlach catching you instantly.
“What happened?” The alpha asked worried.
“Lie down,” you said and she nodded quickly, if she could she’d probably pick you up and carry you up the stairs. Instead, she and Jen just helped you to one of the guest rooms and you collapsed on the bed feeling dizzy.
“This only started today?” Karlach asked.
“That’s what I told Mum” you lied.
“It’s been longer?!” Jen snapped.
“Like a couple of days doesn’t matter” you shrugged feeling limp.
“Doctor said it was nothing” You shrugged half-heartedly.
“Gods I hate men” she said and you raised an eyebrow.
“Doctor Connors is a fine doctor” you defended.
“No I hate dukes” she clarified.
“Ah, me too” you mumbled feeling your lids close.
“You must be true mates” Jen whispered and you raised an eyebrow, eyes still closed.
“What’s that?” You mumbled.
“An alpha and omega practically made for each other by the gods,” she said and you groaned, great even the gods hated you.
“They hate me too?” You whined and Jen sighed.
“No they don’t, Selune help me” she mumbled the last part.
“His shutting you out has taken a toll on you, your bond” Jen added.
“Huh?” Karlach said and Jen growled annoyed.
“Him being the way he is is affecting her because the bonds are not being opened and nurtured like it’s meant to be, you don’t see other couples failing because they’re talking and being together, he’s just-“Before she could be finished your whole body tensed.
“A bastard” Duke Ancunin finished her sentence and you opened your eyes.
“Karlach no” Jen said before the woman could punch him.
“You better have a good reason for ignoring her like this or I will personally send you to hell” Karlach defended, alpha tone on the brink.
“May I have a private word with my mate?” he asked and the two alphas glared at him.
“Please” he added and Jen seemed convinced enough and dragged Karlach with her out the door.
“Scream if anything goes wrong,” Karlach said closing the door, leaving you alone with the duke, why did they agree to this? You couldn’t find the effort to lift yourself as the duke walked over. You struggled to get to your elbows body aching.
“Just lay there, please,” he said hand on your shoulder so you didn’t move. He went to his knees kneeling by the bed as you stared at him. His face was stern and fearful. Swirled in his eyes.
“Come to play more games?” You scoffed lightly and he winced slightly.
“I don’t care what the gods made us, you don’t care about me, stop forcing yourself too” you added bitterly. The Duke sighed his hand suddenly lifting up. You flinched away from it and he moved his hand away jaw clenching.
“You can’t know me” he said those walls higher than ever, his face going to stern anger while your heart shattered into a million pieces.
“Then why did you talk to me, danced with me, sent me flowers, took me out!” You bit your cheek trying to calm your heart.
“Because I was going to use you till I realised I fell in love! I don’t even know what that is!” He growled as you saw the peak of fangs making you frown, how did you not notice them.
“How do you not know what love is?” You felt tears down your eyes.
“I’ve lived on this planet conflicted for two hundred years, I never had love nor do I need it” he sneered as he stood and you felt your heart break again if that was possible. you sat up weekly feeling like the string between you both got cut into pieces.
“You are better off with Duke Ravengard” he said before disappearing out the door as your tears rolled down your face. Jen and Karlach came rushing in as you began to sob and feel your body shatter.

You were biting your nails as you sat with Wyll by the lake, mind elsewhere.
“You’re miles away Milady” he chuckled lightly and you sighed.
“Did something happen?” He asked and you glared ahead.
“Yes! I don’t know what his game or problem is!” You snapped, but also trying to be mindful of those around you.
“I don’t understand this and my mother is so invested in me marrying you!” You gritted your teeth.
“Would it be so bad? Duke Ancunin is not a potential suitor, he’s a problem” Wyll said and you stared at him.
“To be married to me?” He added his eyes shy and you froze, had he not realised you weren’t interested in him? You loved his company he would make an omega beyond happy.
“I can’t marry you!” You hadn’t meant to snap and the poor alpha flinched and you felt horrid instantly. Your heart dropped and you saw his hurt instantly, you stood and apologised before briskly walking back to your family ignoring his calls.
It’d been two days since then and you were prepared to rip the skin off your bones. You cried in frustration throwing your canvas and throwing your paints and jars on the floor before crying. Your father and mother had rushed in as you sobbed. Your mother took hold of you and took you away from your room to sit out in the hall as your mother called the servants. Your mother held you as you sobbed and clutched onto her.
“I can’t do this!” You cried while she hushed you.
“I just ruined a perfect marriage” you added.
“Sweetheart,” your mother said softly.
“Duke Ravengard wasn’t your one, you were friends nothing more” she said and you looked at her as she smiled softly.
“Your dancing with Duke Ravengard was fun and familiar your dance with Duke Ancunin was passionate, a silent dance of two souls becoming one, it was amazing” She wiped your eyes.
“The heart wants what the heart wants” she said bringing you back to hold you as your father came out to sit on the other side of you.
“I snapped at him, I ruined the friendship too” you explained and she sighed softly.
“I’m going to invite their family for tea, please explain to him what’s happening, and put his thoughts to ease,” she said and simply nodded.
At the dinner you ate awkwardly, picking at your food before you all went to the living room, one of Wyll's half sister playing the piano. You sat next to Wyll feeling nervous as you glanced at your mother who gave you an encouraging smile.
“Duke-“
“Lady-“ you’d both spoken at the same time and chuckled softly.
“You first” he said nodding and you hesitated.
“You first I’m going to mess up,” you said and he smiled, but nodded.
“I apologise for what I said, it was self-indulgence,” he said sighing.
“I know your heart is already intertwined with Duke Ancunin and I cannot get between that” he said and you felt tears roll down your face. You quickly wiped them away.
“You’ll make an omega really happy, you’ll be happy with them I wish nothing less for you,” you said as he held your hand and kissed the back of your hand.
“I just-” you sighed.
“I know,” he said softly and you sagged a bit, giving his hand a small clench before looking at his sister playing.
The next party was held at the Ancunin residence, the place was grand and darker in terms of decor, it made the pale elf stand out more, like a star in the night. You had kept to your mother's side, hoping nobody would ask you to dance. Chatter filled the room as you stayed silent briefly glancing to the Duke. He kept his perfect act, but there was an unseen tension in his body, his body trembling subtly every now and then. As the dancing began, it was slower and more intimate dancing, the music somehow suiting him and the feeling in this room. You were off to the side seeing Wyll dancing with an omega you briefly remember, Lady Lila, she was smiling softly as the duke led her. You sensed his presence though and you turned seeing the duke standing there, red eyes on yours as he held his hand out, no words spoken as you took it.
As you joined in his arms you felt your previous feelings melt away as you stayed in the moment, feeling his cool hands holding you. You sighed lightly his scent filling your nose. No words were spoken, but the dance spoke for you, apologies and new feelings as you moved together. As the dance ended you both bowed as you gave a small smile before leaving back to socialise for the rest of the night.
His mind was suddenly at ease as he felt your hand in his, your familiar warmth touched his body and your sweet honeyed scent filled his nose. You looked perfect tonight, a cream dress with lace on the top, pearl earrings and necklace to match, and your hair done up differently again. He felt an urge to untangle it, watch it flow down and frame your face. He didn’t find a need to say anything, say something flirtatious or tease you, he felt at ease and nobody else mattered in this moment. He didn’t know what he was feeling, the way you moved with him so effortlessly like you were made for dancing together, the way you relaxed against him despite not knowing him or his monstrous secret. He felt different, you weren’t his prey, he was yours and he’d already fallen into your trap.

Tumblr media
At your next party, you were feeling more prepared, after your many talks with Duke Wyll it seems you were indeed shaded to everything, your mother told you nothing about all this. Though some of what Wyll said was probably not meant to be said in a brotherly company such as his. You arrived at the party in a light violet dress, your hair was done up with a light violet gemmed pin in your hair, and you wore a simple white gemmed necklace and earrings along with white gloves. You sought out Jen and Karlach on your own seeing them waving you over while your mum stood a little baffled before she left to socialise.
“I heard you had a visit” Karlach said holding your arm.
“I did” you said searching the crowd briefly.
“I think it wasn’t the type for a suitor, you look far and too happy” Jen chuckled sipping her champagne.
“Duke Ravengard has opened my eyes,” you said and Karlach almost spat out her drink.
“Gods you shouldn’t say that in public” she said and you frowned before you realised and flushed embarrassed.
“I meant it not as such, gods kill me now” you groaned and Karlach laughed.
“We just talked” You slapped her arm lightly as she kept snickering.
“Is that what they’re calling it” Jen mumbled and you stared at her in shock before you all began to laugh. You felt a familiar shiver up your spine and glanced to the upper floor balcony seeing the pale elf talking to another lord, drink in his hand. You suddenly grew nervous, your plan to talk to him when he asked you to dance went downhill. He was not going to dance with you after what stunt you pulled off, gods you fool!
“I feel like whatever confidence you had just gone into the ground,” Karlach said as you nodded.
“This is a bad idea” you muttered trying to focus, but failing.
“Hey, it’s ok” Karlach tried to use her alpha scent to calm you, but you were already panicking.
“I need five minutes, maybe twenty” Before either alpha could speak you ran off up the stairs and into the hall. Gods, your heart felt like it would jump out of your chest. You found a clear room, an unused office by the looks thanks the gods. You hid in there and sagged onto the couch head in hand trying not to ruin your makeup.
“You’re rather known for running off little pup” Your body shuddered as you looked up the Duke Ancunin. He came in closing the door behind him as you gulped avoiding his gaze.
“Can’t a lady catch her breath?” You asked sitting properly.
“The lady hasn’t done anything” he said and you huffed.
“I don’t have to do anything!” You said annoyed.
“Apparently” he muttered and you glared before you saw his smirk, he was trying to rile you up.
“Why is the duke always following me?” You asked standing up as he stepped closer.
“To catch his prey” he said his tone darker and you froze.
“I thought we talked about this” you muttered.
“You talked, I did not get a chance to answer” he spoke and moved to you slowly like you would run away, again. You held your breath as his scent filled your nose and you stared at his high collar. You frowned slightly though seeing a peak of a scar on his neck.
“The dance of lovers” he spoke softly and you looked at him confused.
“Goes on for centuries” he added tucking a stray hair behind your ear.
“We are not lovers” you said softly hearing footsteps. Your whole body tensed as he pressed a finger to your lips as he kept his ear trainer to the door. The footsteps left thankfully and you breathed out softly.
“Not yet” he whispered and was suddenly walking out the door. You stood frozen and confused, not yet?
You quickly left the office and headed downstairs seeing the dancing already started. You were trying to process your thoughts as Duke Ravengard approached.
“Evening Milady” he smiled and you smiled back.
“Duke Ravengard” you gave a small bow.
“A dance?” He asked holding his hand out and you nodded smiling and taking his hand. You joined in the dancing smiling at Wyll. You enjoyed his company much more now knowing him, though you couldn’t help, but feel two eyes staring at you. You looked around a bit as you saw Duke Ancunin holding his drink in a white-knuckled grip, eyes staring at you. Wyll chuckled lightly and you flushed looking back at him.
“Make him jealous” he whispered and you tilted your head.
“Trust me” he grinned and you nodded slightly. Your dance suddenly got more complicated, moving people out of the way, and taking over the dance floor. You followed the alpha dukes lead as you moved around each other hands pressing together with each step. You found yourself smiling and glancing at the duke only to him take off. Your heart plummeted, but you finished the dance and applause came afterwards. You panted softly giving a polite bowl and leaving the dance floor as Wyll got swept away. You looked to the spot where the pale elf was, your heart sinking.
Astarion was on thin ice, he hadn’t managed to feed before he got to the party, his hunger festering. When he saw you run off his body automatically followed even if it would you both if you were caught, your delicious scent was irresistible. You were panicking about something once again and he felt the need for comfort for some reason, he’d never felt that before. He approached you and you stood like a deer ready to run, he heard your heart pounding in your chest, the way your eyes avoided his. Your little glare was adorable, like a little feisty squirrel, easy prey. He had smirked at your responses trying to keep up the tough act despite the way your body trembled oh so slightly in his presence. He had heard footsteps before you and a thrill went through him, but your pure anxiety and fear made him hush you making sure the coast was truly clear before he left.
Seeing you dance with Duke Ravengard spiked some deep rage inside him, you were smiling, happy, before glancing at him. The alpha had made a show of you like he had only this time people appreciated more, of course, the great Ravengard son would be a great match for you, every lady sought after his hand. He’d left in anger seeking to sink his teeth into something quickly, not seeing the way you looked at him defeated as he left.
