    About this ebook

    Kaevan is tall, dark, mysterious, and one of the most feared Vampire warriors within the Blood Reign Coven, the lead warrior to be exact. He is also the right hand advisor and protector of the coven's leader, Mikhail. With his unwavering loyalty, he faithfully guards and offers his council to his liege without question. So, when his leader and his best friend found his mate in a human woman, Kaevan was happy for Mikhail. But Kaevan's world was turned upside down when the beautiful woman arrived at the coven house with her little brother, Phelan in tow. Kaevan took one look at the gorgeous little human and everything about the boy triggered the vampire’s most primal, possessive, and protective instincts. Kaevan was bound and determined to convince his skittish little love interest that he was the only one that could love and cherish Phelan the way he deserved. Read to see how the fierce warrior opens his heart and his world to the love of his life, in hopes that Phelan will be able to accept him as his true mate.

    I am an an artist and an author. I love to draw, read, and I love to write, my hope is to one day getting my work professionally published. I want to hear someone say, "Oh my, I love that author, or I loved that book." That is my dream.My interest in reading began on one sunny summer afternoon at the age of 12. I went back home to Jamiaca to spend my summer vacation with family that still lived on the island. Well let me tell you, being the youngest and always left out by the older ones, I had nothing to do, until one fateful day I stumbled across my mother's old Mills and Boons and Harlequin books and the rest is history.Over the years reading has become my passion, it is my number one go to whenever I can find the chance, my house, my car, and now through the wonderful world of technology my kindle, my phone, and my computer are covered with books.Then my daughter, bless her heart, another reading addict introduced me to wattpad, huh, free stories...woohoo..then wait, anyone can write in this site...and what do you know, ladydianna01 was born. I ran across all types of genres in there, and then on kindle, but what really grabbed me was Male on Male stories. They were just so much more than regular day in and day out Female and Male love stories. But the stories I read were either one time hookups, or BDSM scenes with no real love and romance, I mean there were some, but I wanted to see if I could combine the two.

      Chapter 1

      Kaevan stood discreetly in the shadows of the sumptuous bed chamber and kept a close eye on the leader of his Coven as he drank his fill of warm life sustaining blood from a feeder. The young servant had a contented look on her face as she was used for the purpose she served. In the hierarchy of the Blood Reign Coven, there was the Ruling Family, headed by Mikhail Dragos. His Parents and Grandparents, along with a long line of Uncles and Aunts, had ruled the coven for millennia or more before him. Kaevan’s family tree hailed the warriors and advisors to the leaders and guardians of the Coven. Then came the multiple families that made up the multiple councils. Lastly the families that were the serving class: such as the feeders and domestics.

      All of the residing families in the Coven were Vampires, or they were once human before being turned in the mating ritual when they were revealed as a true mate to their Vampire significant others. Feeding is a very powerful and erotic act, therefore the feeders are vampires who were born into servitude and trained in all manners of sexual indulgences, and they were often used for sexual gratification as well as a food source. Feeders were never mistreated, as a matter of fact; they were very well cared for by the families who owned them. The servants were held in high esteem and seen as the most precious of commodities until one takes a mate, because they were the very source of life to the species. Anyone who mistreated a feeder was immediately put to death, and it was usually by Mikhail’s or Kaevan’s hand.

      Kaevan kept a watchful eye on his liege as the Vampire fed from the beautiful young woman who was all but writhing in delight underneath his friend’s muscular bulk. Seeing that there was no imminent threat to his leader, Kaevan let his mind wander for a little bit. He shook his head at the memories that flooded his senses. The images of all the trouble they used to get themselves into as young boys running through the main house without a care in the world. That was until one of their Fathers would catch them shirking their studies and take them in hand. They were unceremoniously shuffled back over to their tutors to finish their assignments. If they were caught by one of their Mothers or Aunts, they were of course, coddled and pampered like the young princes they were before getting sent on their way. Both Kaevan and Mikhail were born within hours of each other on the very same day, and both boys had been inseparable ever since. Even now, two hundred and twelve years later, they were more faithful and loyal to each other than a long time mated couple.

      Kaevan was brought out of his reminiscing as the servant girl whimpered in protest when Mikhail levered his powerful body away from hers. He gently swiped his tongue over her flesh, effectively closing the puncture wounds created on her throat. It was obvious she wanted to provide more than just sustenance for her Master, but Mikhail didn’t seem to be in the mood or else he would have excused Kaevan from his sentinel duties for the remainder of the evening.

      Mikhail bent over and whispered to her and expressed his gratitude for her services as his crystallized blue gaze caught Kaevan’s eye and he dutifully stepped forward knowing immediately what his friend wanted. Mikhail thanked the young lady, he believed her name was, Maeve as he gently helped her from the massive silk covered bed, and handed her over to Kaevan. The other Vampire escorted her to the door and sent her on her way. Kaevan quietly closed the heavy chamber door and turned back to his friend.

      So pretty little Maeve left disappointed and aroused. Are you getting old my friend? Kaevan teased a second before his lightening quick reflexes allowed him to efficiently duck the sharp dagger that was thrown in his direction. The blade whispered past his ear and embedded itself into a priceless painting on the wall.

      Kaevan chuckled as he stood upright and straightened the jacket to the black Armani suit that was one of the staples of his
