      My Lord Richmond - M C. Scout

      Chapter 1

      Lord Broderick Richmond gazed over the moors of his ancestral home feeling peace while he gathered strength from this part of the world. Unable to spend more than a few years here at a time thanks to his peculiar lifestyle, coming home became more special with every visit. Though this time, he’d come home for different reasons as he needed to give the woman he loved time to make a crucial decision.

      He watched as Brick kept pace with a herd of sheep on the lower pasture and smiled. While fairly good at it, his Bouvier des Flanders didn’t get enough time herding and usually spent his time running after an errant ewe or lamb. Or does he let them run on purpose...

      They’d been together for the better part of the last century but to look at Brick, one would never know he’d been born during the years leading up to World War 1—the Great War as some called it. Considering his age, he acted more like a year old than his actual age.

      Of course, Brick epitomized the term enigma because no dog had ever survived being transformed into an immortal being with vampire blood flowing through its veins. While Richmond could shift into a hawk, Brick only shifted when angry and then he turned into a hellhound with blazing red eyes and a bite to match the fury raging through his body. Thank whoever that Brick had only become angry on rare occasions in their lives together since Richmond ceded control to nature and left Brick to his own devices until the rage left him and he returned to his playful self.

      He whistled and Brick responded by bounding up to the patio which surrounded one side of Richmond Castle. The dog spent a few moments settling his body from the exertion then lay next to the chair Richmond sat in. Both loved the cloudy days when mist settled in over the property and held the sun at bay. They could spend a few more precious hours out either at dawn or sunset depending on the conditions.

      Brick looked at his master waiting for a scratch between the ears. When looking at him didn’t attract Richmond’s attention, he began prodding his hand until Richmond did as the dog wanted. It didn’t take long for him to be a happy dog and he relaxed while remaining alert to the ever-present threat looming over them.

      Lord Broderick Richmond had been walking the earth for several hundred years. At first, he didn’t accept what had happened to him when Erica Rhodes decided to create him for her pleasure but as time went on, he came to enjoy the backward existence he’d been forced to endure. Of course, getting away from Erica helped since she had been very demanding—both before and after the change. While this worked for him, it did not work for her at all.

      He’d walked out on her after he’d taken in all the knowledge she could teach him about survival. Finding her with one of her latest creations had sent him over the edge because it finally dawned on him—how many more of us are out there? When she’d brought him into the darkness, she’d made him believe that only he mattered in her eternal life but he’d learned otherwise. How naïve I’d been...

      When he discovered his first replacement, he’d taken it in stride. Her explanation had been plausible—hell, vampires did need more than one source to feed on but that didn’t satisfy him when she became greedy and wanted a bunch of men following her around like dazed puppies. My God, did I look like that?

      Richmond chanced rebelling and caught her when she’d been sated by her latest acquisition, as she called them.

      I’m leaving, Erica, he’d stated, hoping she wouldn’t sense the overwhelming terror coursing through him. This woman could kill him instantly and they both knew it.

      And where do you think you will go?

      Not sure but I can’t stay here and watch you act like a glutton. I could handle the first few but your appetite is out of control.

      I enjoy men, she said.

      And you’re violating one of the first things you taught me. By your overzealous actions, you’ve threatened all of us. There is talk in Paris of a female killer—one described hauntingly like you. You’ve become careless and as long as I’m to live this life, I don’t want to be caught up in everything when they come after you.

      And if I say no?

      You have no choice, he stated. But know this—knowledge of your existence will never come from me. I have no interest in sending the hunters to your door because that would bring them to mine. You’ve given me a gift I’ve finally embraced and I refuse to let you threaten that but I won’t turn on you. Just let me go and leave me alone.

      He remembered her tossing her latest toy to the side and standing up. She walked to him and looked at him, Richmond knowing she wanted to see if she could break his resolve.

      All right, you can go but remember this, she said, I am your creator and at any time, I can come to you and claim you again—and I will.

      You can but don’t. You want your harem and I want my life. I have no intention of ruining what you seem to enjoy—I just cannot be a part of it.

      He turned to leave praying she wouldn’t use any of her magic on him and surprisingly, she didn’t. Erica allowed him to leave her presence though Richmond knew there would be a catch. For the moment, he took his small victory with him and left after he grabbed his things.

      As the carriage made its way down the highway heading for the docks, he realized what he’d achieved and breathed a sigh of relief. Why am I still apprehensive?

      That question had followed him through the years because every so often, Erica would come back into his life until he found a way of getting her to leave him alone. The time had come for another one of her visits and both he and Brick knew it would be soon. Now, someone else had become involved in their war and Paige had to be protected.

      The last thirty-six hours had been painful without Paige but she had to make her decision on her own. The interval apart had given him time to consider the threat and how to handle it, Paige’s protection at the forefront of his
