Chapter One

He was the Lord of Ireland, the vampire who held the most power on this land, the one feared and respected in other lands, because if truth be told, he could rule them all. The party raged on around him as he walked through the throng of people who moved out of his way. They recognized his power and bowed to him as he passed. Sin Donovan had been a lowly farmer growing up, but a single night had changed his life forever, made him into the man he was today. It had taken years for him to control his power, but when he did—there was no stopping him.

With a slight nod of his head, one of his men went to the woman he had picked for the night. Humans knew what they were getting into when they came to parties such as these, they were called blood parties for a reason. Sin had one rule: no one would hurt or abuse any human who was brought to these parties. They had to freely give them consent to drink from their bodies. The woman he chose, Sin had already known would say yes, he had used her before.

With a nod of his head, he walked to his office and waited for her to be brought to him. He understood why humans would want the bite of a vampire; it could bring the greatest of pleasures. It was the first thing he learned after his own blood thirst had been controlled, his turning had been torturous and violent. No matter what power he had, Sin refused to become a monster. When he was turned all those years ago, vampires were out of control. They turned and fed on humans without regard to anything, which of course led to his turning. When he discovered his true power, Sin made his own rules, and others who wanted to follow him complied. The rules had led to many vampires coming to him and pledging their alliance. He was a cruel bastard when it came to business—cross him and face his wrath. However, biting a human for feeding was one of the great pleasures a vampire had, and making it violent didn’t bring him satisfaction. Usually it was done during sex, since both vampire and human would be aroused, but Sin had long been able to control himself that way, which made him powerful.

The woman smiled as she stepped into the room and walked to where he was lounging on the couch. Sin, she whispered and sat down next to him and pulled her long hair to one side, offering him her neck. She knew the score, he would not have sex with her, if he had wanted that, then she would have been brought to his bedroom.

"Go leor," Sin whispered, meaning pretty, before he leaned forward and sank his teeth into the pulsing vein of her neck. The warm blood began to flow over his tongue and slide down his throat.

Sin finished drinking from the woman by licking her wounds clean. Her head was thrown back, lost in her own world from the ecstasy his bite brought. The woman whose name started with a T was done for the evening, and Sin fought the urge to call one of his servants to escort her out, he didn’t have the desire to take the other gift she was offering. For some reason, over the last few months he hadn’t wanted to do anything but drink from his companions. It was disconcerting and annoying really. The sweet tangy taste of the woman’s blood clung to his lips as he left her lying on the couch, a hint of champagne, exactly the way he liked.

Moving with his usual quiet grace, he walked over to the phone to call Cillian, his lieutenant to arrange for her to be taken home. He had some work to finish; after all, all work and no play makes Sin a very dull boy. He smiled at the very American thought. He loved his life and he loved his special treats, such as the woman lying on the couch in his study. That was why his disinterest in his companions was driving him crazy. With one last glance he turned and instantly forgot the woman who was there, someone would be along to collect her soon.

Cillian came in within a few minutes of him sitting at his desk. His lieutenant, or second in command, had been with him for decades. Cillian was once the leader of a battalion of soldiers, finding him nearly dead on the battlefield had been a stroke of luck for Sin.

Cillian, what is going on this week? I have a feeling people are getting restless, and need to be let out of their cages. Any events, rugby, football, anything? Sin asked, as a Vampire Lord his house was larger than most, and sometimes tensions ran high if they were working too hard. He didn’t mind the occasional formal get together, but he was getting tired of wearing a suit and tie, and would love to dress down. His people knew and tended to wait until he offered them such an outing to release their stress. He had power, more than most, and lived longer than most vampires, but it was getting tiresome to the point he was thinking of vacationing to another location.

Well there is the rugby match tomorrow night, my Lord? Jager will be there with his contingency, you approved their coming to the match. Cillian chuckled. It could make for an interesting evening.

Jager Lexicon was the Vampire Lord from Germany, they had meetings in the later part of the week, something was going on in the vampire community, and since Jager was an ally of sorts, Sin intended to find out if the vampire had heard anything. His people had been talking about disruptions along the border—the current cause for the stress they were all feeling.

The European countries were divided using the borders of the countries as imaginary lines other clans should not cross. Doing so would be an act of war if they didn’t have permission. Even the lowest of vampires had to ask permission from the lord whose territory they would like to cross into.

"Perfect, let’s get some seats and make a night of it. And for God's sake, Cillian, stop with the lord shit. There
