A/N: Hey guys. New Chapter here. Truth be told I don't really know what to say so, let's get into this.
Chapter 10: Name of the Demon
Mathew walked down the deserted tunnel. Each step taken in a confident stride. He was alone, while the Queen of Oregon had two vampires by her side. He noticed, she was looking him up and down, one eyebrow raised, a sultry look on her face. He found it funny, he wasn't a supermodel by any means, and he wasn't bad looking though. He found that people saw him in a different light because of his power; demons would throw themselves at him because of who he was.
He reached the vampire queen; she flushed her hand forward for him to kiss. He barely touched her hand with his lips, he wanted to keep the contact to a minimum yet it made her shiver in pleasure. He knew where this was going to go before the negotiations even took place.
"My Queen" said Mathew, courteously "If I may; I never got your name"
She kept the sultry look on her face throughout the whole ordeal "Eliza" she said "I have your name though, I know all about you and your powers"
"Wow" Mathew said with a smirk "I'm famous"
She gave a small giggle before saying "That you are"
"So, did my second in command explain what this meeting is about?"
"That he did" her face still had its sultry appearance.
"So, these are my terms. I intend to own all the covens in the underworld; however I cannot control everyone, so I wish for you to keep control of your coven. You will receive your orders from me and come to my aid when I need it and in return I will provide you with the full power of the vampire race. We will both receive a mutual benefit from this"
"Very well" she said, knowing she couldn't win this if it came down to a war of covens. "But there is one more thing that I want"
"And what is that?" he asked.
She looked at his eyes and grew a sultry smile "Do you have a mate?"
"No" said Mathew, he loved Karina but he only slept with her once and they weren't exactly official by any means
"Ooh, what an opportunity" she whispered "Would you consider me?" she walked up to him and began stroking his chest with her fingers.
He looked down at her, expression impassive "We shall see" and he shimmered out.

Mathew shimmered to the Andes mountain range and began walking around; he proceeded for about five minutes before reaching his destination, this was where it was stored, he made himself incorporeal and shifted into the mountain, when he emerged he had the Grimoire in his possession. He gazed at the book "And they just thought this was to elect a new Source"
With that, he shimmered out
(Line Break)
He returned to his coven to find a group of vampires who did not belong, all of them women, all of them beautiful "Who are you?" he said, surprising everyone, all eyes turned to him "Speak or die" he said.
One of them stepped forward "My lord, me and my companions are a gift to you from Queen Eliza. She hopes that you will accept her offer of mate"
"Then what is your purpose?" he said.
"While she would be your mate we would simply satisfy your desires or any request" she said. Karina looked like she wanted to rip their throats out. Mathew looked down for a moment.
"Okay?" he said, unsure how to proceed "You can stay here if you wish, if you don't you are welcome to leave and return to your coven" none of them moved, in fact some looked quite happy that they were essentially his sex-slaves, noticing this he was slightly unnerved, he turned to one of his own "Find them somewhere to sleep" he turned back to them, before looking around "I need to speak to my betas, the rest of you as you were" he said.
Altor, Tyler and Karina went into a back room where they could talk in private. The second the door was closed Karina launched into a rant "That slut, how dare she think, that you would even consider using slaves for sex, and the fact that some of them looked pleased to be bound to you, what a bunch of fucking whore's I ought to…"
"KARINA!" Mathew yelled, shocking her out of her rant. "Calm down" he added "I had an idea that this would be an effect of the negotiations, I just didn't realise it would be so soon"
"What?" said Karina, astounded?
"Queen Eliza made it very clear that she wanted me to be her mate. To make sure I didn't jeopardise the negotiations I simply left without answering" he said impassively.
"You WHAT!?" she said "HOW DARE Y…" she stopped when his gaze darkened.
"What's wrong lost your train of thought" he paused "Oh you were finished, then allow me to retort. We slept together once, once, that does not mean that I am your mate. If you think that after one time together we are bonded, you are badly mistaken"
Karina looked at him in shock and heartbreak, before breaking down and running out. "Smooth" said Altor bitterly.
"Shut up" replied Mathew, instantly. "I brought you here to select three individuals, the most loyal and powerful of my and Eliza's coven. These three will be selected and brought before me, for evaluation" he said, looking at Altor. "You" he said pointing to Tyler "You will go to the coven in Louisiana and arrange a meat with their leader, understand"
Tyler nodded and left. Altor turned to him and said "After you acquire these three candidates what do you plan to do with them?"
"That's none of your concern" said Mathew, his eyes growing darker by the second.
"Mathew, you've changed, you've changed a lot" he said, worrying.
Mathew turned to him, his eyes turned to ones of green fire "My name is Legion"
