My Love Forever (The Night Movers Vampire Series Book 1) by Helen Bright

anymore. But my sister was now to become a vampire and I hoped that she would be the same kind woman that she had been before she had all this loss, for I knew that whatever she became she would now be it forever.”
    “She will sleep for a day and when she awakens she will be fully immortal, a vampire with the need to feed on blood as well as human food. Father spoke those words so normally. Like the scene of the last hour had not happened. ‘She will not want to do this on her own my son so will you take the blood and join her in this life everlasting’, my father questioned with hope in his voice.”
    “Freya will never forgive you for this father. You have done a terrible thing this night; I said my voice laden with sorrow. ‘I will join Freya in this life but only she will ever have my loyalty for you do not deserve it.’
    I left the room and went in search of Gamall to tell him all that had happened and ask his help in gaining my immortality.”
    “The next day, with the help of the villagers I buried the baby, Brisa and Tobias as Freya had requested then went with Gamall to my home where I drank his blood and at thirty seven years old had my last human sleep.”

Chapter 8
    Alex
    Julia was sobbing quietly in my arms by the time I had finished my story and although I wanted to cry right along with her, instead I just held her to me and found comfort in her embrace.
    “I am so sorry for all your family suffered Alex. How on earth did you carry on? How could Freya survive such an ordeal?” she questioned through her tears.
    “Julia of the many things I have seen and known over the centuries, the very thing that stands out the most is that the inner strength and power that is within most females is something that will always prevail above all else. Even if it takes some time to emerge and show itself it will always be there.”
    “Men will always have more physical strength and power than women of equal stature but that’s where it ends in respect of the dominant of the species. Human men are emotionally weaker than Human females and they find it harder to empathise with people than women do. That’s why I have a lot of respect for all of the women in my life.”
    “All of the women?” Julia questioned, I could tell she was a little put out by this remark and maybe a little jealous too, hopefully.
    “Yes all of them,” I answered without worry as I began to explain my statement.
    “Freya of course, but I will tell you more of her story later. Then Maggie, well she is just an Angel really. She looks after Josh, Nik and myself like a mother hen always reminding us about things we forget and making sure we are ok. She’s done this for over thirty years, even whilst she was looking after her husband and three children, then Daniel and Keeley her nephew and niece when their mother passed away. And lately her elderly mum and in laws and holds down a full time job.”
    “Then there is Gina, she’s in charge of our cafeteria and cleaning duties, even in mine Josh, and Nik’s cottages so you can see how much we trust her. She’s worked for us in different capacities for about fifteen years now. In that time she’s brought up two children, had a few health problems yet still kept going. She is unhappy but has stayed in a loveless marriage because she doesn’t want to be a failure by admitting that she’s spent all these years working at keeping her family together, but is unloved by her husband. I mean how many men would be so selfless as to stay with someone like that.”
    “How do you know all this about her Alex?” “Gina is a lovely woman Julia, I’m sure you will become friends because everyone gets on really well with her, you just can’t help it. Anyway, I caught her and Nik arguing one day a few months back. He’s had a thing for her for a long time but she seemed to think he was just winding her up. She’s always carried a bit of extra weight and I know she’s been trying and failing over
