Chapter One
Contrary to popular belief, Drake did not decide to sleep because of boredom. He wasn't bored of the bloodshed that followed him across the world. He and his inner demon reveled in the power and fear he invoked in his children. He had plenty of willing human and vampires of either gender entering his bed. Drake decided to sleep because of one simple reason.
Drake was lonely.
Throughout all his travels and conquests he could never find an ideal mate. He found those who were worthy of immortality but not worthy of standing beside him for all of eternity. All of his children feared him too much to ever be considered worthy by him or his demon. Drake didn't want or need a simpering mate by his side.
Drake wanted and needed an equal for his mate. He desired someone who wasn't afraid of fighting him. A strong and willful mate who wouldn't bow down to him without a struggle is what he wanted. Physical appearance while important was not the most important trait to him. A strong and unbreakable spirit is what Drake and his inner demon desired but could not find.
So on warm day in what would be known as Syria in the future, Drake went into his chosen tomb and went to sleep. Drake slept with the hope that in the distant future that he would be able to find the one that would complete his soul. He had all the time in the world, all he needed to do was be patient.
