CHAPTER 29: THE BOOK OF LUST

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Please this is a flashback.

Narrator's POV

She remembered it all like it was just yesterday. Day by day, she would watch him drive around in the streets of Port Harcourt. Wherever he went, his aura accorded, no, demanded respected.

Prince David Everglade was his name. She always thought it wasn't fair that she was a mere teenager while he was a full-fledged man.

One day she would be the head of the family and he would finally notice her.

"Stop staring too hard, he already has a wife and kids." Said Gina Johnson who was practically her older sister as they were both single kids.

"It doesn't matter, I'll soon become his mistress." She said with her fists in the air.

"You know other girls your age wants to become lawyers, doctors and other bullshit." GJ shook her head.

"I'm not like the other girls. I don't think it's bad being his mistress."

"Maybe you're forgetting that your families don't agree with each other right. And as the future head of the Collins family you are only allowed to marry whosever your family deems fit."

"That's Maria's problem not mine."

GJ knew there was no convincing this girl. What did she see in the guy anyway?

One day, her family lost almost all their business shares to the Everglade family. They were backed to the wall with little or no chances provided to fight back. They were at the mercy of David Everglade.

This had certainly increased her respect and admiration for the man. She yearned to be someone with such an immense power as his. He was, in her eyes, a true king.

Some days passed by, and her family was greeted with a letter requesting their assistance in a project called the Book Of Lust. David personally wrote the letter to the family and requested for her! This was her chance to be by his side and drop this stupid family stuff behind. She convinced her parents to let her be a part of the experiment. She persisted until, they agreed.

On the day, she was carried away for the project, she could barely contain her excitement. A limousine had taken her to the venue for the project.

She was placed in a lodge and to her surprise, there were other girls there. 12 girls including herself. She was given a tag with the word Beta-12 written on it.

She tried to socialize with the other girls but they seemed off.

"They have mental health conditions thanks to the experiments," a girl with Beta-10 tag told her.

Beta-11 said, "From Beta-8 to Beta-12 still have their minds intact but I don't know how long it will last."

Vivian was clearly surprised. This wasn't what she had in mind about the experiments.

Days passed and she started seeing less and less of the Betas 1-7. Her instincts told her they went coming back. That's if they were still alive.

Beta-9 kept telling her about the horrible tests they had to go through. The thing was, Vivian had been there for 6 days but hadn't experienced any tests.

She remembered waking up to screams. She noticed Beta-8 stabbing her private-parts with a fork. She was screaming but seemed to be enjoying it. The medical personnel came in and took 8 out of the room and never returned her.

Vivian and the other Betas missed Beta-8. She was an orphan but acted like an older sister to the rest of them and Vivian missed the stories 8 used to tell them. That's true, Vivian didn't know their names.

"Uhm, 9, 10 and 11 what are your names?" she asked.

"I'm Joy." Said 9

"I'm Felicia," said 10

"I'm Ella," said 11

"I'm Vivian, nice to meet all of you. Don't worry we'll get out of this soon." She said with a smile.

But, they didn't. 11 collapsed and was removed, followed by 9 who suffered from extreme hallucinations. They say fear itself is torture. This was true for Felicia and Vivian who were scared out of their little minds.

One night, Vivian was woken from her sleep due to the hands that played with her thighs. The hands belonged to Felicia.

"What are you..." Vivian couldn't complete the question. Something was off with Felicia.

Felicia had a very dark aura that made her tremble in fear.

Felicia grabbed Vivian and kissed her quite possessively. Vivian's screams were muffled by Felicia's kisses. Vivian didn't like the fact that a girl had stolen her first kiss.

When Felicia finally broke the kiss, she attacked Vivian's breasts.

"Felicia stop please." Pleaded Vivian, "Why are you doing this?"

Felicia answered by biting one of Vivian's nipples making her gasp loudly. The attack on her breasts raged on until Vivian couldn't fight back anymore. Vivian wasn't enjoying this at all but her attacker was clearly stronger than her and the aura she gave off, intimidated her. Vivian tried to keep her legs closed just to avoid Felicia's hands from reaching her inner thighs. Felicia spread her legs open with ease and ripped off her underwear. Felicia kissed her pussy then started licking it. Vivian tried to squirm free. Vivian was lucky enough to land a kick in Felicia's face making her assailant topple backwards.

Vivian ran across the room and picked up a glass bottle and pointed it towards her attacker who was extremely pissed off. Felicia moved so fast! Before Vivian could realize it, her assailant had planted a fist in her stomach making her fall to her knees. Felicia grabbed Vivian's neck and started to strangle her.

Vivian reached for the bottle which was just by her side and smashed it on Felicia's head causing her to bleed. Using one of the glass shards, Vivian stabbed Felicia's neck making her body go limp and fall to the ground with a thud.

"I'm sorry," said Felicia softly.

"Oh my God!" Vivian screamed and checked for a pulse, "No, no, no I'm sorry. I didn't mean to."

"I guess it wasn't compatible with me. I wasn't able to control my urges. Thanks for stopping me," she said and coughed up some blood.

"Don't talk too much. The nurses would help you," said Vivian who was choking on her tears.

"You really think so?"

"Mmmm Hmm"

"Ha, I wish I could see my annoying little brother again."

"Don't say that! Of course you will."

Felicia chuckled weakly, "Say Vivian, could you drink my blood?"

"I can't do that!" Vivian shook her head negatively.

"Please, it's the only way I can help you."

Vivian nodded and pulled out the glass shard stuck in Felicia's throat. The blood gushed out faster making Felicia let out a small groan of pain. Vivian covered the hole with her mouth and swallowed all the blood she could. She tried not to throw-up until she was done.

"Th-Thank you," said Felicia, "Little vampire."

"No problem. You're always welcome," said Vivian.

Felicia nodded and let out a deep sigh. Vivian tried moving her but noticed she was already gone.

Vivian busted into tears and started to scream. She had just killed someone. Someone who had a family to go back to. She was the only Beta left. What was going to happen to her now?

The following day, she was taken to a room and lay in a purple looking symbol on the floor. This was no experiment; it was a ritual!

Needles were injected into different parts of her body causing her to bleed slowly. Along with the blood, she could feel Felicia's dark aura oozing out of the tiny holes which had just been added to her body.

Her pussy started to feel hot and dewy making her extremely uncomfortable. She knew what her body wanted but she was a virgin and the only way out was to masturbate. She got rid of the thought as she remembered what happened to Beta 8. Masturbating was not an option; she needed actual sex.

Felicia's aura grew stronger in her making her to scream. She was so wet she couldn't handle it anymore.

Some of the personnel came into the room to restrain her. 4 of them to be exact. 3 females and 1 male. One of the female personnel touched the blood that had spilled from Vivian. No sooner than she made contact with the blood, she started feeling off and collapsed.

"Martha what's wrong?!" asked another personnel who ran up to Martha.

Martha grabbed her and started ripping off her clothes and kissed her. The personnel also went mad with lust and transferred it to the other two. Not able to control their lust, they started sexually devouring each other. Vivian in her confined position watched them enjoy themselves and she longed for her aching to be cured. The personnel didn't seem able to stop. The guy was not able to keep up with the demands of his colleagues. Martha grabbed his dick and pulled it out. He just stared at his member that was now in her bloodstained hand before giving up the ghost. Vivian gasped in horror. The three women started to satisfy themselves by masturbating. Vivian could tell they were no longer humans.

Three shots were fired, followed by the sounds of three bodies hitting the ground.

Footsteps could be heard approaching Vivian's body.

Vivian recognized the man who approached her, "Mr Everglade... Help me."

"Don't worry Vivian," he said then stooped low to see her face, "I'll ease your desire."

He kissed her softly. She couldn't help but kiss back. Despite how angry she was, her body yearned for something as sinful as this. He continued to kiss her until he introduced his tongue into her mouth. Her eyes widened in surprise for the intrusion but softened as she accepted his kisses with soft and clumsy once. It was her first time, putting aside Felicia. He tore the shirt she was wearing and kissed her nipples softly. Unlike Felicia, he was extremely gentle allowing Vivian enjoy every bit of the pleasure she felt. He ran his tongue from the middle of chest down to her exposed pussy. With one hand playing with her underdeveloped breasts, the other gently stroked her pussy. She let out small moans as he slid a finger into her. Although she had wanted her first sexual experience to be on her matrimonial bed, there was no helping the situation. He continued to finger her until she orgasmed causing her urges to calm down.

He stared at his fingers which were drenched in her cum, "You're wet enough now."

"But I've finally calmed down," she said as she watched in horror, the man she respected so much take off his belt.

"It still isn't enough," he said as he tossed the belt across the room.

Trying to resist she said, "I don't want to. I'm fine. Please stop."

Her pleas fell on deaf ears as her legs were spread open followed by the demanding tongue that now explored her pussy. As the sounds of her pussy being sucked reverbed in her ears, she continued to wriggle free from the chains and arms that held her in place.

"Stop. I don't like it!" she screamed.

"Is that so?" he asked teasingly, "Your body screams quite the opposite."

He got up and freed his erect cock, "Get ready, I'm coming in."

She continued to plead "no". He slid his dick into her. As this was her first time, he slid in as slowly as he could.

"You're so tight," he whispered when his dick had finally gone deeply into her. Her walls clenched tightly around his dick which was his liking.

He started to move. With each slow thrusts, quiet grunts, soft moans escaping from both their lips, Vivian could feel nothing but hatred for the man she once admired. Something told her this was what he did to the other girls.

"You seem to have better control of the Vivlio tis lagneias than Felicia." He said as he increased his pace, "Give in to your lust now."

She used her legs to hold him in place as he increased in pace. Her lust was returning.

"Now, what do you want?" he said.

"Fuck me harder, faster! Ruin me so that I can loathe you along with the other girls you've murdered!" She yelled.

He sighed, "I guess there's no helping it. Vivlío tis lagneías hear my call. My body is fire, and lust is my fuel. Bow to my body's desire."

Her eyes widened in shock; it seemed his dick was getting bigger in her pussy. Combined with an increase in strength and speed, he continued to pound her. She gasped and held onto his shoulders. He stuck his tongue into her ear making her body to wobble. Her orgasm started again. He was also reaching his limit. Pulling out his dick, he cummed all over her chest and face. She noticed there was blood on his dick. Her blood.

He left her alone while some other personnel came into the room to change her clothes.

The days went by and different tests were carried out. Whenever she felt the Vivlío tis lagneías take over, David would suppress them.

From what she overheard from the people experimenting on her, Vivlío tis lagneías represented a way humans could look younger just by having sex fueled with pure lust. According to one of them, teenagers were perfect for test subjects because they are prone to mistake lust for love and are usually unable to control their wildest sexual fantasies. From what she understood, the other betas were all dead and had their blood transferred to herself. So the blood of the Betas coursed her veins giving her better control of the Vivlío tis lagneías. Or so she thought.

One day, David came into the room with a lady. Vivian recognized her as Princess Emilia Everglade. Although Emilia wasn't the head of the family, she was one of the most feared women amongst the 4 families. What was she doing her?

"Isn't this the daughter of Maria?" asked Emilia.

"Yes she is," said David, "She is the only Beta alive."

"Alive?" asked Emilia with surprised eyes, "But you said the experiment wouldn't cost their lives!"

"All small prices to pay for eternal youth."

"But you killed innocent lives. They all had bright futures ahead of them!"

"Are you someone who should talk about that topic?"

Emilia's eyes saddened.

David looked at Vivian's tired eyes, "Sadly, it also looks like it worked all too well."

"What do you mean?" asked Emilia

"The key factor in aging lies in the end section of our chromosomes, called telomeres which protect our genetic information in cells as they reproduce. But each time the cells divide, the telomeres shorten and when they stop dividing, aging sets in." said David, "Vivlío tis lagneías is supposed to reduce the rate at which the telomeres divides in order to slow aging and retain a youthful look."

"So what did you mean it worked all too well?"

"Rather than reducing the rate at which the telomeres divide, they have stopped dividing completely."

"So she'll age faster?"

"That's what we thought but she has stopped aging completely."

Emilia looked at Vivian who remained expressionless although she heard everything the two had discussed, "You poor thing."

"Anyway, we'll continue monitoring her. If she doesn't seem to adjust to the expected results by next month, I'll dispose of her." Said David as he adjusted his crooked tie.

"That's cruel. Why not return her to family?" asked Emilia.

"It's quite surprising that a leopard like you has agreed to change her spots." Said David as he walked out of the room.

"I'm not like that anymore," Emilia clenched her fists as she tried to ignore the words her husband had just said.

"Help me and I'll help you," said Vivian.

Emilia looked at her questioning eyes, "What are you talking about? Help me with what?"

Vivian smirked as she gave off the aura of her Beta sisters making Emilia tremble in fear.

"It's just as he said, leopards such as yourself don't change easily." Said Vivian

"I don't know what you're talking about." Said Emilia.

"Keep denying it. But I understand your lust very well."

Emilia stared at the girl before laughing out loud. She brought out a dagger and walked over to Vivian. She cut off the right chain holding Vivian captive then handed the blade to her.

"Kill everyone here once you're free." Said Emilia, "Including him."

As soon as Emilia left the room, Vivian cut herself loose and walked out the door which Emilia had casually left open.

Her first victim was the idiot who brought her food. She stabbed his throat and let him bleed slowly before moving on to the next targets.

Thanks to her newly acquired abilities, she killed everyone in the building. All 26 of them.

The man she was after wasn't in the building and neither was Emilia. She would have to kill him later.

She managed to clean herself up in one of the bathrooms and found the clothes she wore when she first came here. They didn't fit her properly so she had to wear another one which probably belonged to one of the late Betas.

She emptied the pockets of her victims and was able to gather a healthy sum of Twelve Thousand Naira. She left the building and tried to find her way around town.

Vivian could feel her urges and aura build up fast. There was no way masturbating would help her. As she wandered around, she managed to buy some bread.

She could hear a girl crying nearby and walked over to see who it was. The girl was malnourished and obviously in pain. Vivian wanted her.

"Take it." Vivian said as the girl hesitated to take the loaf of bread. The girl wolfed down the bread it was as if she hadn't eaten anything in days. Vivian was about to violate the girl when she noticed someone coming. The person apparently took the girl whose name was Gina George.

Interesting.

For almost 5 years, she laid dormant not knowing what to do with her life. That is until she met Miracle Everglade; The spawn of the demon who destroyed her life. A plan concocted in her mind.

She would make his son her pawn in her game of revenge and destroy the Everglades. The first thing was to take his virginity and let her aura do the rest.

On the day she took his virginity, she thought of various ways she could get access to kill his father. Sadly, someone had beaten her to it. The media reported the death of Prince David Everglade as heart attack due to losing his wife through divorce. She didn't believe it.

She sneaked into the morgue where his body was kept and after inspecting the body, she found out that David Everglade was murdered.

Now she had an amazing plan! Find David's killer and kill them herself before destroying the Everglades

******End of Flashback****

9TH of November 2015

Vivian waited until the cemetery closed, her target was there as well.

Emilia Everglade had stayed by her daughter's grave until the cemetery closed before. As she left, she tried to shake off the feeling she was being watched but couldn't and it was starting to irritate her.

"Please, whoever you are, stop watching me," said Emilia, "If you think it's going to turn me on, then you're gravely mistaken."

As soon as she finished her words, a hooded figure, probably female and with a cigarette in her mouth, stepped towards her with confidence.

"My, my, all alone are we Mrs Emilia?" the figure said.

"Please call me Emilia," she responded, "And you are?"

"Alpha."

Emilia blinked twice, "Wait... It can't be! You're supposed to be..."

Alpha ran towards her and revealed a machete that had been hidden in her hoodie. As she swung for Emilia's head, there was a clang.

"Looks like I was right." Said Vivian.

"Yeah you were." Said Daniel Bishop.

Alpha looked up and noticed Dan who had a set of throwing knives with him. He had countered her machete with one of them.

"Alpha!" called Dan, "Let's hope you put up a better fight than my cock sucking father!"
