As a young girl, the tender nickname “Ella Bella” was affectionately used by Aunt Keira, reflecting little Ella’s deep fascination with the tale of Beauty and the Beast. However, with the birth of Fae, this moniker evolved whimsically into “Ella Belly.” This playful name, originating from the joyous moments where Ella would delight in blowing raspberries on baby Fae’s belly, would adhere to her over the years, becoming a term of endearment utilized by family members and her cousin Faith well into Ella’s adult years.

Ella’s narrative gains momentum in the “Hellbeast King” series, where fate intricately entwines her path with that of Jared Cerberus. Their initial meeting, seemingly accidental, occurs when Ella is but a 16-year-old, navigating the complex tapestry of adolescence. The narrative then leaps forward, reacquainting readers with an older Ella who, after completing her collegiate journey, immerses herself in a career closely aligned with her love for animals, assuming the role of a park ranger.

In the cradle of nature, where the whispering trees and untamed wilderness provide a backdrop, Ella’s story with Jared Cerberus unfolds, weaving a narrative rich in adventure, romance, and the eternal dance between destiny and desire. The canvas of her life, painted with the hues of family love, personal growth, and a romance as wild and free as the beasts she tends to, invites readers into a captivating saga where every chapter reveals a new layer of her character and the world she inhabits.

Yvonne Dubeck was an Ego Vereor Demon. She was small-framed, a thin woman with half-moon glasses resting on her long beak-like nose. She wore her hair pulled back into a tight bun. She was pale and her mousey colored hair did nothing for the grey strands showing through.

She was working as a Librarian and was instantly attracted to George because she could detect his grief.

Her name was Yvonne Dubeck and Draven told me that she was called an Ego Vereor Everto, meaning ‘Self Fear Demon’ in Latin. She liked to feed from the negative emotions caused by paranoia. She would gradually gain the trust of these poor unsuspecting humans by befriending them and then little by little she would implant delusions of what people feared the most.

In George’s case, it was Alien abductions. He soon became obsessed that he had been abducted numerous times and was living in fear until his next abduction. In the end he became a recluse and lived in the woods like a hermit.

The only person he would see was Yvonne as he never got abducted when she was around. She would get stronger every second she was with him, but because he was a strong character, he would fight back getting better when not in her presence. Of course, she would not allow this to happen for long. In the end, she got the ultimate high when his paranoia got too much one day and he took his own life which unfortunately happened before Draven could intervene.

Draven had been too late to save George and Yvonne disappeared before her punishment could be inflicted.

The post Yvonne Dubeck first appeared on The Afterlife Saga.

He was a well-liked man who always helped out with the community. He had been a fireman, most of his life but took early retirement when his wife passed away with cancer.

The death of his wife hit him hard, as it would with most, but it looked as though his family were kept in the dark about the true depth of his depression because one day a hiker found his hanging corpse in his log cabin.

He hadn’t spoken to his family in nine months. They put his suicide down to his desperation to be back with his wife. Frank had been the last person he had seen, two months prior to his death. He was also the last person he spoke to when he rang a week before he was found. He told Frank that he had left him everything, but his only wish was that the cabin and the land were never sold. He didn’t care about the house which Frank had found the strangest thing of all as it had been in Frank’s family for generations and his wife had adored the place.

George had started to actually get his life back together unbeknown to his family. He had an evening poker night with some of his old buddies from the fire department and he had finished restoring his cabin which he used for hunting. But he took a fateful visit to the library and that’s when he met who he didn’t know was a demon who fed off of his misery.

She serves Draven, like a servant in his personal home. In Transfusion, we learn that she’s actually a “real nice angel”. But the books don’t say much about her.

We first learn about Celina in the first book in the series. She was a demon that Jack had fell in love with, (not knowing who she really was of course).

In Jack’s mind one day he’s dating this fabulous girl and then meets Dominic Draven and he never sees her again.

Of course later on we learn there is much, much more to this story.

Celina is a demon and according to the laws of the immortals, they are forbidden from dating mortals. Draven advocated for Celina and saved her life if she promised never to see the moral Jack ever again. Of course, she agreed and she also started serving on Draven’s council.

When Keira first met Draven he was worried about her safety in his world, so to push her away he pretended to be engaged to Celina.

The saga of Lucius Septimius is a captivating tapestry woven through the pages of the Afterlife Series, with a backstory as engrossing as it is astonishing. Known as the eminent Vampire King, the tale of Lucius’s ascendancy to this title is laced with intrigue.

Tracing his origins to the nascent days of Christianity, Lucius’s earthly life as a human was intertwined with significant Biblical figures. Originally named Judas, he was the disciple infamously known for betraying Jesus—though, as the narrative unfurls, it reveals that history might have misinterpreted his actions. Following the crucifixion, he was unfairly vilified and met a tragic end, renouncing his faith in his final breaths.

Upon his death, he was reborn as Lucius, the progeny of Satan, bearing the distinctive power to transform demons into vampires through the potent gift embedded in his blood. This ability set him apart, anointing him as the chosen leader for a race of creatures poised on the brink of evolution. The vampires, once feeble entities, underwent a transformative mutation under Lucius’s dominion, evolving into beings of heightened strength, agility, and intellect.

Despite their shared history and kinship resembling brotherhood, the bonds between Lucius and Draven eventually frayed and snapped, leaving behind a chasm widened by betrayal and mistrust. Lucius, a figure imposing and statuesque, bore an appearance strikingly handsome yet subtly intimidating. With sandy blond hair framing a face with chiseled features and eyes that mirrored the chilling depth of darkened storm clouds, he was a visage of mesmerizing beauty and latent danger.

These eyes, a breathtaking canvas of silver-grey with icy blue flecks, possessed an allure both magnetic and treacherous, evoking images of impending storms obscuring serene skies. They were eyes that could ensnare souls, commanding attention and reverence with their intensity.

The narrative elaborates on his physical allure further, painting a picture of a man whose stature and physique were reminiscent of mythological figures of beauty and strength. Lucius, with his careless elegance and an air of indifferent charm, was a being who could easily enthrall, his presence demanding and enthralling.

The process of transformation under Lucius’s hand not only endowed vampires with unparalleled power but also bound them in servitude to him, their lives inextricably linked to his existence. It was whispered that the demise of Lucius would herald the end for all vampires tethered to him.

His powers were not merely physical; Lucius was a master manipulator, wielding control over minds with effortless ease. His dominion extended over various beings, with humans being particularly susceptible to his influence. However, stronger minds offered greater resistance, limiting the scope of his control.

Lucius’s tale, while interspersed within the Afterlife Series, is extensively explored in his dedicated series, Transfusion. It is within these pages that readers become intimately acquainted with this enigmatic figure, delving into the complexities of his character and unfolding the tale of his chosen one, Amelia Faith.

Amelia tells us in great detail about his eye color in Transfusion.

Then there were his eyes. Eyes that seemed to have the power to pierce your very soul, capturing it and only releasing it again when his gaze was no longer blessing you by being directed your way. The silver grey with flecks of blue that looked like ice over water.

The colour reminded me of a storm that was brewing, rolling in over clear blue skies and consuming them. Even the sandy blonde brows that slanted across his deep-set eyes gave him a dark angelic look that would have fooled anyone naive enough to believe that he was a man to be trusted with your life in his hands.

She also tells us a bit more about his looks. Beyond that of his eye color that is.

Incredibly tall and built like an Olympic athlete who does body building on the side, meant that he looked like a living Adonis. With his sandy coloured hair in a messy style that just screamed that he didn’t give a damn and got out the shower, rubbing a towel over it before it dried naturally that way. Or was it his chiseled jaw line and perfectly shaped lips that had women ready to sign over their ovaries and beg him to make babies with them like I was close to doing right alongside them?

He has tattoos down one cheek.

Keira said, “I don’t know why, but he reminded me of the white knight on a chessboard being taken over by the opposing dark side.”

Husband to Sophia Draven.

He’s originally from Instanbul.

All of one side of his face was covered in a strange series of tattoos that snaked around the scar and ran the full length of his face. The black ink passed through the damaged skin, but the ink disappeared when it reached the injured tissue. It made it look as if there were pieces missing from the design.

Apart from this, he had a very serious but handsome face, with long, platinum blonde hair that fell down under the black hood he wore over his head. He was ice white and scary.
