In the realm of Eshe, Shifters and Vampires do not mix and are governed by the Sila Treaty that maintains peace between the two breeds.

Our bodies pressed together had the same effect as the first time we met. He froze when I rubbed myself against him. I affected him as much as he affected me. This was good news for me. I was not in this predicament alone. I convinced myself.

Forbidden Mates

So many vampires had been killed. I knew trouble was coming my way. I opened the mind link and sent a message to Lycus. “My love. Trouble has finally found us. Two hundred vampires have been killed at the border. This time the numbers are higher and I anticipate a fight.”


Silence greeted me at the end of the mind link and after a while, I got a response. “Two hundred?” It came as a whisper.


“Someone is instigating war again. They will not stop until we tear each other’s throats. I’m afraid the Sila council elders will not be able to help us this time,” I messaged him back.


“Did you say two hundred?” he sent a message back.


“They have gone overboard. This time we shall not evade the attack. But let’s stall as much as we can. I don’t want to go to war with you, my love. I am sending Tristan to Seth so that we can come up with a plan to counteract this. I am afraid I can’t leave the coven.”


“That’s fine. The accusation must be that the vampire hunters killed the vampires.”
