against the wall. “You have just gotten married. Isn’t it enough? You show great disrespect toward your wife” The older brother was absolute beside himself in rage. He already saw Sera as her dearest sister and his brother’s behavior was almost too much for him. Dominic didn’t seem moved by Markus as he leaned back in his chair. “What I do is really none of your concern, big brother. Sera is my wife, she belongs to me” he replied in a calm voice, almost wistful. “I can do as I please with her and with the whore I brought back with me. There is no law against it.” Markus ran his hand over his face and let out a long sigh. “It’s not right. You incur the wrath of the Great Builder on your head for betraying your vows to your wife” the older man reasoned.  Dominic raised his eyebrows and suddenly started to laugh, it animated his whole body. “I had no idea you are a religious man, Brother. Perhaps you should have been a preacher instead of a warrior. Between the two of us I don’t believe in what the bishops say. They might think that there is something special about those stones they protect, and that they have some sort of natural magic from the planet. It’s a crock in my opinion. My wife is just a woman and women are weak. “Dominic stated and leaned forward a bit, a smile crossing his lips. “You might be fooled by that plain little dove you have in your bed, but I know better.” The older man knew he should blow up in anger at his younger brother, but he realized it would do not good. Such a jaded creature as Dominic would come to a bad end.
    4. Tempest
    The months to come were surprisingly quiet as Sera went about her womanly arts. She got up early and made sure her husband’s armor was polished and that the servants in the quarter they were staying was clean.  When she wasn’t doing that she was using her given gifts as the healer of the complex. Soldiers, their families, servants, and slaves came to her for care. Her husband’s had gifted her with a room that was stalked with herbs, cloths, fresh water for washing, and other items needed.  It kept her busy and got her the reputation of being a good person. Being busy kept her mind busy from the dishearten knowledge that she has not yet gotten pregnant with a child. Standing in her healing room she washed her hands with rose water and dried them off. Sera sighed softly and glanced out the small window into the side yard.  She was already packed and ready for the trip to the Adonus Mountain Retreat. It was an old Sythian castle ruin that was now a beautiful retreat sight for the soldiers and their guests. It was one of the unusual phenomenon in the land. The old ruined castle had underground hot springs and reflective stone walls. Dominic had decided that he would take her there along with her servants to get her away from the hustle and bustle. Markus and the other men were coming as well for a whole different reason. The ruined castle had rumors of a legendary sword that was crafted together by the legendary human king and the former vampire sire. It was the sword that broke the stone of power into the pieces that are protected now. It was said to be the most powerful weapon in existence, but has gone missing over the centuries.  Sera thought it was a nice trip and finished packing up her supplies. She could see out the window, Brena removing some sheets from a clothing line, but not without a painstakingly slow and bored look on her face.  Since the day her husband had brought the young woman to the compound she has been a lazy and combatant. She couldn’t understand why the girl had agreed to be a servant when she clearly didn’t want to do it. Sera didn’t like the way the girl looked at her husband as well with a needy and possessive look. The healer wasn’t a jealous woman, but it made her uneasy. Naturally she wanted to send her packing, but she didn’t think Dominic would let her dismiss her when he went through all the
