Introduction;

Nikolai Vlademyre

I am Nikolai Vlademyre. It depends on who some one is, as to what they address me as. You can call me Nik. I am the new King of Carpathia. Well new in our terms. I took over about 10 years ago. While in human time that seems like a lot; to vampires your still fresh until you've been at it 100 years or more.

I was groomed for the position by the previous King my father, and Queen my mother prior to the crowning, but it was still unexpected. They'd been at it for about 600 years. Their untimely deaths put me in the chair probably a lot sooner than I was ready to be. As the Vlademyre heir and having trained with my Dad for over a century you'd think I'd be good.

Not really. With out my brother's I'd have bombed. I am the oldest of four. There is my twin Mikhail, my middle brother Roman and my youngest brother Malachi. All of us have different fathers. Aside from Mikhail obviously. I had a sister too, but she died when Hail and I were young.

I realize that to some this may seem a bit odd, because all of my mother's husbands lived with us. It wasn't a make up break up thing. It's how mine and many of the royal families operated. There are a lot of misconceptions about Vampires, but every family has its Queen so to speak.

For my family a rule of 5 was applied. My mother had the option to choose 5 husbands to continue the Vlademyre line. It is one of the original blood lines. You'll probably hear a lot about pure bloods through this tale. It basically means that we never mixed with mortals. Our blood is old, powerful and untainted. I really don't get into how that's possible. More Hail's cup of tea as he's the Caretaker.

That just means he's my right hand. Roman's my left and Kai is kinda the legs I stand on. I'm all for my people. Kinda my job as King, but the only people I trust or need in this world are my brothers. Don't get me wrong, I'll help people out. Especially beautiful women. Hell I'll answer most people's call for assistance noble or not when it comes down to rouges or assholes trying to fuck up the relative peace in my part of the world; I'm just not the commitment sort. For any body or anything other than my position.

It's a demanding one, and one that my family has upheld for more than a few millennium. Since there was a throne, a Vlad has sat in it. Carpathia is more or less the Carpathian mountains. There's a lot of stories that come from my part of the world, most of which demonize or fancify my kind depending on which you hear.

We aren't undead or damned. In some ways it does feel like we are cursed, but that's just personal shit. We drink blood, have a lot of sex and fight. Silver doesn't hurt us, the sun doesn't make us burst into flames. I love garlic and crosses. What idiot came up with that I'll never try to get. We can also walk in and out of any where we choose invited or not. I sleep in a bed, not dirt or a coffin. We eat food, have beating hearts and do breathe air.

We don't require those things to survive at least not in the same way that humans do, but it sure does make life easier. With out blood though we will eventually die. Food does taste good and processes through are bodies pretty similarly; same with liquids. Blood though has nutrients on physical and spiritual levels that sustains us. Just like there are enzymes in red meat you can't get any where else there's shit we need in blood that keeps us alive and healthy. It also takes good to us. Well some of it. Just like every one has a distinct smell, they have a distinct taste. Some are sweet, some savory, some sour and some are just nasty. I have a sweet tooth personally.

Every vamp on my side of the world has a family and a clan. My family is Vlademyre, my clan is Dracule. A family doesn't have to be blood related, but generally are. It's us and our mates, what you call husbands and wives and kids that determines some one's 'house'. Extended family is the clan. We just aren't like the ones who have extended family barbecues. Any Drac can come to us for assistance and as the head family we have to open our home to some one with our seal, whether we like them or not.

There's a lot of expectation in that department, which is why Hail has been hounding me for the last five years to get a new Head. We'll get more into that in a bit.

The Dracule, are families with Vlad blood. There are 3 other clans in my side of the world and all of them have more than a dozen families each larger than mine. There are more vamps in my region than most others in the world and there are some, but not many mystics outside of them.

There's only one pack in our region, which Roman avoids at all costs and three covens. There are scattered other sorts of mystics, but all of them both accept and adhere to my law as King. That's just on the Vamp side. On the human side of things I own a few corporations that make me more or less boss of them too.

There is only one major city about 3 hours out from my place. I have to do a lot of business there, but only stay overnight when I absolutely have to. It's actually a really nice place. The crime is low, interest is high, and all around it's pretty well cared for. I don't allow gangs and the sort. The elected officials are all under my watch too.

I do my best to leave politics in that arena to other members of the Dracule, but when shit goes down I'm there.

Our corporations are world wide as well. So I travel a lot. I relish being home when I can be there, but like I said with out my brothers, I for sure would have bombed my first year out. I don't have a wife or mate like my parents had each other. My mom trusted her mates, my uncles implicitly and knew how to divide the responsibilities among them. The work load alone is enough of a reason for the way that we do things.

While the world has advanced in a lot of other ways we are generally armed with swords or blades of some sort. All the new age corporations and business stuff aside, one of our main responsibilities is keeping the people safe. Humans and mystics alike. I suppose our family is an army of sorts, but we don't meet on battlefields any more and go head to head.

We deal with traitors, monsters and rogues. My side of the world is at the very least superstitious and unlike a lot of other countries humans here are very aware of our existence, whether they admit the fact or not. They also know we're the ones to call if any one or anything shows up with pointy teeth, and a bad I'm going to eat you attitude.

Rogue is a really loose term for the blood sucking animals that attack unprovoked. Some of them have a conscious, some don't. Some look human. Some don't. There are a lot of specifications in that arena. While he's generally considered the most threatening, Roman's the man to ask about that. Defense is kind of his job. If Hails' my advisor then Roman is my General. All my armies are his. Malachi is equally important. He is young, but he's the one who keeps all our shit together. The college student handles every penny to the Dracule name and keeps all our businesses at pretty high gains.

Unlike other larger families and those who depend on outside help, the four of us tend not to. It is a lot of shit to deal with and we do have allies, but the only people on this planet who cannot be replaced in under an hour are the three assholes that I love more than life itself.

The only people we trust is us, and the only member we would add to our clan is a mate. This is complicated for more than one reason. My mother was Queen like I said. She chose my father as King and three other mates. All of which who loved her deeply and shared her equally.

Any mate that one of us chooses has to be accepted by all of us. Being so different that's not an easy thing. It is our job to extend the Vlad blood line. Given our history in the matter it's not something any of us are really open to trying again. Not to say we don't enjoy sex or share partners, because we do. Regularly.

We just don't commit to any one knowing that there is no way that one woman would be agreed on by the four of us, even if Kai weren't gay. Any of us can choose to have one love slash lover, and walk away from the group, but we don't. I also know they never would.

Blood and sex are great things, which I often indulge in, kind of expected of me and one of the few things I don't ever complain about needing. I just like variety. I also know that just as much as I don't approve of my brother's choices when it comes to females, they don't approve of mine.

Fun for a day to two, week at most, but not something that we do long term. That's more about our inability to like the same woman more than it is us enjoying it. After what we've been through and the fact it's pretty obvious that we don't agree on each other's females, it's too much to ask of any of us to claim one.

I like damsels in distress. Mikhail likes, well I'm not really sure how to describe his tastes, but I don't really care for the females we share for more than a couple sessions. Any of the females he keeps in the house for his little games we have all been with. They are pretty needy though. Expecting constant instruction and care, like children.

Roman is as tough as they come. He is better left alone and the few occasions he does bring some one home they are hell beasts or amazons that are more than capable of breaking us in half. All of my brothers are assholes, but he pretty well takes the cake in that department, and would sooner deck some one then ever explain himself.

Malachi on the other hand likes every one and is liked by every one and has no discernible taste other than his food having a pulse. He prefers men and has never brought any one to share because he knows we don't. He will indulge in any one we give to him, but doesn't seem to like ours any more than we like his. He's even more of a commitment phobe than I am. I get pleasure as much as the next person, but self respect is kind of a thing that I expect from every one.

We have never really agreed on any one that all of us would be willing to care for and protect long term. Well since that woman, which is probably the reason she's the first last and only. Might be off putting to some, but I'm called every where an any where at the drop of a hat.

I can't always be around, so any one I choose would have to depend on my brothers in my absence. I leave for weeks at a time in some cases, and always have shit to deal with. Not really fair to leave a pretty young thing cold at night .

My family also gets a lot of attention so protection is a big thing too. I like women's pleasure. I'm happy to give it. Happy to receive it and really enjoy watching it. Not to brag... Eh who am I kidding we earned bragging rights. Still, we all have big dicks, know how to use them. Far as sex goes we're thorough, if not a bit deviant. I can't say I have met a female yet who didn't enjoy being shared by us.

Call us freaks, but honestly it's pretty common among the royal houses. Men having five women are fucking nuts in my opinion. Even for an orgy. There is only so much of me to go around. It is also a lot less bitching and moaning when I'm busy if they have some one else to take care of them. My brother's feel the same. Plus I have no intention of giving up my freedom any more than my brothers do.
