Chapter 1
“Why the fuck must I be given to the Hell spawn?” Ciel was less than amused at what his father just told him.
Vincent's eyes narrowed. “Control your tongue Ciel. Do not forget who you are speaking to.” The King of vampires looked at the young boy in front of him.
Ciel was five feet exactly with deep blue-gray hair and brilliant sapphire eyes. Currently those eyes were a purple color, displaying his anger. Soft lily skin covered the thin frame which in turn was covered with clothes befitting his station. And when the boy of a mere 130 years scowled and opened those full lips to speak, the tips of fangs could be seen. They weren't extended, knowing better than to bare fangs at his father.
“Just because you're the King does not mean you can sell me!” Ciel Phantomhive was Prince of vampires and was just informed that in order to create a better peace treaty, the King of the demons demanded to be given Ciel as his mate. “I haven't even met him. And does he know how old I am? That's disgusting. Then again he is a demon after all.” The distaste for his kind was heavy in his voice.
Vincent looked like the full-grown version of Ciel, though his eyes were still blue. “I will admit it is unusual and a bit disconcerting.”
Ciel crossed his arms over his chest. “Isn't he like 2,000 years old? That's messed up.”
Vincent ran his hand though his hair. “The point is we need this treaty. The demons are growing in strength and numbers. We are fast approaching the point where if they claim war, we may not win. You are over 100 years so you are mature enough to mate.” His eyes narrowed. “You will do your duty to your people. You will sacrifice yourself as their Prince. This is happening. He will be here in one week to make the contract. Prepare yourself. Now leave.”
Ciel let out a frustrated growl, but he bowed low. “Yes father.” He turned and stormed out of the room. He prowled through the castle, his destination a specific set of rooms. He would do this for his people, but he will not give in. He didn't know much about the demon King, but he knew someone who did. There was his aunt who enjoyed gossip more than anything. She should know about the sulfur beings.
He entered the room and flinched at all the red. It really was too much. “Aunt Anne. I need to talk to you.” He still had a scowl on his face.
Angeline glanced up from the book she was reading and smirked. “Come to ask about the demon King, have you?” She was a lovely woman with short red hair and beautiful red eyes that could also glow purple with her power. She possessed the same pale porcelain skin as all vampires did. As usual she was dressed in all red. She was the sister of the Queen and while she had at one-point desired Ciel's father, she now happily watched Vincent and Rachel live their successful mating.
Ciel nodded and sat down across from her. “I have one week before he comes to get me. Tell me.”
A grin was given at the opportunity to let loose some gossip. “The King's name is Sebastian Michaelis. He is the oldest King with the longest rule. His interest in you is a shock as while he has had many lovers, he has refused to take a mate. Let alone a vampire.”
Ciel grit his teeth with disgust in his eyes at the ‘many lovers' part. “Great. I'm being given to a man-whore. Demons have no loyalty.”
Anne frowned. “Not true. Demons are possibly the most loyal beings. Once in a contract, they will never betray. That's why treaties with them are so coveted. If he swears to be only with you, he will have no one else.” She smirked. “Besides, demons are highly sexual beings. I'm sure your time will be spent mainly in his bed.”
Ciel blushed, his light skin turning an adorable shade of pink. “Don't say such things! I'm already annoyed at our age difference. Don't remind me why he wants me.”
She shrugged. “While I'm sure your looks factor into it I highly doubt that your age is part of it. And to tell the truth, your looks are likely not everything. He is highly intelligent and cunning. His power is unquestionable and he rules with a tight fist. Despite what you believe I have a feeling you will enjoy battling wits with him.”
The boy scoffed and stood. “I doubt that.” He turned and left the room. That had been very good information and he did feel a bit better about knowing the demon will be faithful. He got to his rooms and sighed. “This week will suck.”

Ciel glanced up as a knock came to his door. He sighed and stood up from where he was sitting. The possessions he was taking with him had already been sent to his new home. All he had now was a small suitcase. He was dressed in gothic Victorian clothes, as the vampires tend to lean towards old fashioned clothes more than other creatures. It just suits them. He picked up his suitcase and opened the door.
The servant waiting in the hallway bowed. “The King calls you to the throne room, my Prince.”
The young vampire nodded and made his way through the castle halls one last time. He paused outside the large ornate doors and after a deep breath he walked in.
Standing in front of the platform that held the thrones were three figures. Vincent and Rachael were facing him, Rachael laughing lightly at something said. Vincent glanced to Ciel and gave a small smile.
The third person turned and locked eyes on the young vampire. Ciel refused to acknowledge the gasp that left his mouth. The first thing he noticed was skin even more elegant than his own. Snug black pants hugged long legs and a black silk button up shirt was tucked in. He had shiny dress shoes and Ciel caught the light of cufflinks. His eyes moved up to the elder being's face and he swallowed. Ruby eyes that held more intensity than any others, gazed at him with barely hidden amusement. Those sinful lips quirked into a smirk that said he knew Ciel liked what he saw.
“Ah. The young Prince Ciel. So nice you accepted.” His voice was all the erotic places in the night that caressed and promised.
But Ciel definitely did not care. He frowned and walked over. “No offense, but I had no choice. I am doing this for my people. No other reason.”
Rachael frowned. “Ciel. Don't be disrespectful.”
Sebastian chuckled, the sound rolling over Ciel and causing a shiver. “Do not fear, Lady Phantomhive. I find his honesty refreshing.” He walked over to Ciel and bowed. “I am Sebastian Michaelis, King of demons. I have been interested in you for a while.”
Ciel raised a brow at that. “Really? I never would have known.” He was rather intrigued that Sebastian seemed to consider his attitude adorable. He could see it in those ruby eyes. It caused him to become more annoyed.
Sebastian shrugged. “I've been busy for the past few decades. But now we have a chance to fix that.” He took Ciel's hand and kissed it.
Ciel blushed, jerking his hand free. “Don't do that. I am not a woman.” He walked past him and over to his parents. “Goodbye mother and father. I will keep in touch.”
Rachel placed a hand on his cheek. “Be good. Don't start problems.” She kissed his forehead before hugging him tightly.
Ciel turned to his father who pulled him into a silent hug. Before releasing him, Vincent spoke in Ciel's ear. “Maintain your honor. You are still a Prince of vampires. Whether you are mated or not. You are always a Prince and forever our son.” He finally pulled away.
Ciel nodded. He turned back to the demon and walked over. “I'm ready.”
Sebastian nodded with a charming smile. “Let's be on our way then, young Lord.” He offered his arm and just waited.
Ciel was not too happy about it but decided to be polite and take it. His eyes flashed at the smirk sent his way. “Tch. Very well Sebastian.” He walked with the man outside to where a sleek car was parked. Sebastian opened the door and helped Ciel in before climbing in next to him. The driver started the trip once the door was closed. The first few minutes were in silence.
Sebastian broke the quiet, “My home won't be as big as the castle you are used to and probably a bit more modern.”
Ciel grunted. “I'm used to modern things. I have…had my rooms updated more than the rest of the castle. Also, size does not matter to me.”
Sebastian got a gleam in his eyes. “I shall keep that in mind.”
Ciel gave him a glare and mumbled out, “Pervert.” He turned his gaze out the window.
The raven watched him before speaking once more. “Now onto a different topic. How much of demon culture and traditions do you know?”
Ciel frowned. “To be honest, not much. My studies haven’t gotten that far. And even then, I doubt it would have been too detailed.” His frown turned into a scowl at the sigh given. “It’s not like I expected to suddenly be a consort to the King of demons.”
Sebastian locked eyes with him, the glowing red full of intensity. “Not a consort. You will stand beside me as my mate. Nothing less.” He saw doubt fill sapphire eyes. The other truly didn’t know much of them. “Seeing as you are unknowing to the ways of the life that you now live, I will be your personal tutor.” He raised a hand when he sensed refusal. “Hush.” A rush went through him when the boy did as he was told. “Lesson one shall be on relationships. Considering we need to build ours, this is important.” He relaxed back. “Now, young Prince. Ask your questions. Just keep it on subject.”
Ciel gathered his thoughts. It was a good idea to learn as much as he could. He would be ashamed if he messed up this treaty due to ignorance. “What would be my title?” He figured this would be a good thing to know. He wanted to know just what people would be referring to him as. Ciel wouldn’t stand something disrespectful. At the raised eyebrow he added, “Is it simply ‘King’s Mate’?” That sounded like the other owned him, which was another thing he definitely wouldn’t stand for. And he refused to be called ‘Queen’.
The demon chuckled at the forwardness. “No it’s not. The mate of the current ruler is called the ‘Ember’.” Sensing the next question he continued. “The reason behind the name is because embers are subtle yet powerful. One minute they can be close to death and the other they are starting a new fire that destroys all. The strength behind a fire, is its embers.” It was a rather poetic way to look at it.
Ciel slowly nodded. Seems there was more to the demons than he originally thought. Their species were so different. Which brought him to the next question. “Will your people even accept me?”
Sebastian blinked. “What do you mean?”
Ciel rolled his eyes at that. “I’m a vampire. Will other demons have your viewpoint?”
A chuckle was the answer. “Demons are a bit more accepting to mix species mating than others. I’m sure they’ll just be happy I finally found someone.” He enjoyed Ciel’s blush that the boy was obviously trying to deny.
The vampire cleared his throat. “Yes, I guess that makes sense. So, why did you choose me? Obviously, you could have someone older.”
Michaelis hummed in thought. “I understand how you may think age was a factor. I can assure you it’s not.” He smiled. “As for why you. Your mind is sharp and your tongue even more so. I need someone like that to keep my own thoughts fresh.” His smile turned into a smirk. “Plus, you are very beautiful.”
Ciel blushed and grumbled. “Tch. That’s such a lame comment.”
Sebastian raised a brow. “Oh? Well then I shall rephrase my description.” He sat up straighter and cleared his throat. “To look upon you is to enjoy the pristine beauty of Winter, the eternal youth of Spring, the intense heat of Summer, and the gentle promise of Autumn. I shall treasure such a sight for as long as we are together. I give my word.”
Sapphire eyes widened and a bow mouth slightly opened. The blush still on the younger’s face deepened and spread. No one had ever spoken to him like that. It was so intense yet didn’t overstep any boundaries. And it sounded so sincere too. Aunt Anne’s words flashed through his mind.
He was quiet for a minute or two before softly saying, “Just…Just as long as you promise.” He looked away in embarrassment.
Sebastian chuckled. “Now. Back to the questions. What is your next one?” The demon kingdom was a ways off so they should be able to finish this lesson before arriving.
Ciel considered for a few seconds before saying, “What is my position?” When Sebastian raised a brow he explained, realizing the man wanted him to stay on topic. “In this relationship. What is my role?”
“You will keep my mind active and help ease the stresses of ruling.” Ciel gave him a look that caused him to sigh. “I keep to myself often as not many others hold my interest. But with you, I am looking forward to sharing my personal time and my life.”
The prince frowned. “So I suppose sex will be involved?” Sebastian raised a brow, making Ciel very annoyed that the demonic man wanted him to expound on everything. “That’s my next question.”
“Of course.” He saw the annoyed look turn to…nervous? “I am to understand you are virgin?”
Ciel glared with a full on blush. “Of course I am! I only recently reached maturity.” He crossed his arms. “And to speak of such things is-“
Sebastian cut him off. “Completely normal and appropriate between mates.” He sighed at the huff given. “Taking into account your innocence I will ease you into it.” A smirk slipped onto sinful lips. “We’ll call it another lesson.” He decided to move on before truly upsetting the other. While he did enjoy teasing and taunting him, he didn’t want to start this relationship with Ciel hating him. At least not too much, as he may have already crossed that line. “Next question.”
“Don’t you want children? Because that will obviously be a problem.” Ciel was suddenly a bit worried that Sebastian would have to impregnate some woman. The prince may have come into this unwillingly but now that he was in it, he was not going to let another enter the relationship.
But it seemed that luck was on his side. Sebastian shook his head. “I have no desire to reproduce. The throne of my kingdom is taken by power. So unless I step down, someone would have to defeat me. And if I did step down there would be a competition of sorts to determine who gets the throne. Either way I do not require an heir.” He raised a brow. “How about you? Don’t you wish to add to your clan’s name?”
Ciel didn’t really consider that. He had always just assumed that he’d have kids one day as a necessity for his family. Now, though, he didn’t need to do that. “I’ll leave that to my cousin.” His parents could also have another child if they need to, but he didn’t really like the thought of being replaced. He also decided to sneak in an off-topic question. “Will I be learning more about the process to become King?”
Red eyes gleamed a bit. “Curious, hm? That’s good. And yes we will be covering that. As well as a wide array of things that you will need to know as the Ember.” Sebastian checked his pocket watch. “We have time for one more question.”
“Will I be limited to feeding from you? I’ve never had demon blood.” Ciel was worried about this. Would the other force him to feed from a source he isn’t used to? That can make a vampire ill and their body tends to reject it. You need to ease them into a new blood type.
The demon got a thoughtful look. “What type do you usually drink?”
“Werewolf.” It was one of the most powerful because of the mix of human and wolf. Though werewolves were more complicated than that.
Sebastian smirked, seeming amused by that answer. “How interesting. Well there isn’t a werewolf at our home.” He sighed. “There is however a demon dog. I’m not fond of him but he is necessary for multiple reasons. Perhaps that will work.”
Ciel was shocked that Sebastian immediately tried to accommodate his feeding needs. He also noticed, and liked, the ‘our home’ comment. He nodded. “Perhaps feeding from the dog will help my system get used to demon blood.” He shrugged and looked away. “Then I can drink from you easier.”
The smirk turned to a genuine smile, his hand going over his heart. “I will be honored.” And he meant it.
The car slowed to a stop and after a few seconds the door was opened. Sebastian exited first and after making sure he was steadied, Ciel stepped out of the car and into his new life.
