S.A. Smith

Sadie loves Sebastian. Deep down she's felt it since he first materialized to her in a dream. Pulled together by fate, their instant connection has entangled their lives together and changed them both forever. After being openly threatened by Lars Dracco, Sadie and Sebastian decide to drop everything and hurry to the Mandurago capitol to get bound in the Mandurago (aka Vampire) tradition. The binding ceremony is the Mandurago way of making their love "officially" known.. but will Lars get to her before they can have their special moment?
Only time will tell...but what if you had Forever?
Excerpt from Royal Blood- Book Two:
“Fine then Sebastian, what is a Mandurago that you aren’t telling me?” Sadie asked hesitantly.
He walked towards me and paused for a moment, as if he was trying to make a decision. When he finally reached me, his eyes looked worried and I knew he was struggling with what he was about to tell me. He placed his fingers under my chin, and lifted up my head so our eyes would meet.
“I am your soulmate, I have traveled oceans of time be with you.” He paused for a moment as if deciding whether he wanted to continue. He moved his hands to mine and held them both, looking deeper into my eyes. “Mandurago is who I am, but we are also known by other names around the world. Some know us as Strigoi or Ramanga, but you might know me better as Vampire.” After speaking the words he was reluctant to say, he stood ominously still waiting for my reaction. His eyes were searching mine, desperately trying to read my thoughts.
In my heart I had already known that he had to be a vampire, there was no other explanation. But actually hearing him say it, well that hit me harder than I had expected. I stumbled backwards a bit and sat down on the couch just as my knees decided to give out underneath me. He rushed to my side and waited for me to speak. I took an unsteady breath. “I knew it, I already knew it. Even when you first came to see me at the store I thought it.”
He played with my bangs, and moved the hair out of my eyes.
I turned and looked at him. “But you’re not cold, you’re supposed to be the undead and you’re awake, you’re awake right now. It’s daytime…you should be sleeping in a dark coffin or something.” I looked around and noticed again that all the draperies had been closed.
“I am as alive as you are. Why would I be cold? As for daytime, I prefer to sleep during the day. I do not fall into a coffin when the sun goes down as the old Dracula story goes. I sleep when I am tired, just as you do…no different. The sun is not my friend though, the legend has that correct. I don’t burn, but it is very uncomfortable, so I stay out of it as much as possible.”
“How about the blood drinking? Is that just an old Dracula story?” I asked hoping that was the case.
He looked at me, like he was afraid of the question. “No, unfortunately that is true, but I don’t hunt down humans and kill them to suck their blood like in the stories. I prefer to feed off animals, the same as you do. Although...I don’t slaughter them, roast them, skin them and then eat their flesh like humans do. That just seems so barbaric.” He smiled at me, waiting to see what I would say next.
