~~~~~~~Throughout the night~~~~~~~
Walter De Ville x reader
Tumblr media
For others his name will give them a scare,
Yet for you, saying it is a privilege.
Others scream his name with pure terror.
While you scream his name with pleasure.
Others called him monster,
Yet you call him perfection.
________________________________
in the darkest hour a scream of a woman can be heard at the library. You took a deep breath as you wait in the bedroom. Sitting, reading and waiting for your master. As you turn the next page in the book you're reading, you heard heavy steps entering the bedroom.
You look up, there you saw him. Tall, charming and Devilishly Handsome standing on the other side of your bed, Walter De Ville; your husband.
"Had a good meal, my love?" you smiled at him as he grins at you. Walter undresses his clothes as he walks towards you, deciding to sit next to you.
Walter nods then proceeds to take your hands to his, kissing it while looking at you. Finally he spoke "How was your day my love?"
“Shouldn’t I be asking you that, My love? You’ve been gone all day” you look down pouting “I might think you don’t love me anymore y’know…” you said in a teasing manner with hidden indication of sadness in it.
Walter chuckles as he lift your face using both of his hands making you looks at him. “You silly girl” Walter smirks kissing the top of your nose “You don’t know how I’ve been thinking bout you all day…”
Walter kissed your cheeks down to your neck making you tickle. “Mmh I doubt that Mr. De Ville” you teased, making him raised his eyebrow.
His eyes darken “oh…so it’s Mr.De Ville now huh? You naughty little girl” Walter then pins you down your bed whispering in your ears.
“Then I guess I have to show you how much I missed my favorite lovely wife…hm?”
And so the night ended with you panting in his bed. Sweaty, tired and exhausted as your dear husband pleasures you throughout the night. Whispering lovely and gentle words, opposite from what he’s doing from your behind.

Forever and Always My Truest: Chapter 1
A/N: Hey guys! Thanks for all the lovely comments for the prologue of this series. I hope you guys enjoy this chapter.

Anyways I hope you enjoy!
Summary: After yet another night of restless sleep the reader finds herself wandered the manor until Walter comes looking for her. Safe to say that things escalate in more ways than one. From a lovers’ quarrel, to making up, and breakfast being served, there is no denying that there is never a dull moment in the Master and his eternal bride’s marriage.
Word Count: 1,800-ish

Chapter 1: Revelations Come to Light
~Current Day in 2022~
~(Y/N) P.O.V~
           Long ago there was a period in my life when I was a restless sleeper. I would wander the halls of my ancestor's grand castle. Even now over four and a half centuries later that has not changed as I now glide through the halls of the De Ville Manor whilst steering clear of the evenings’ sun lit areas. It never harmed me, but it didn’t mean it was any less agitating to my sensitive skin. Ordinarily, my restlessness would be quite vexing for me, however, that feeling couldn’t help but be trumped by the excitement of the fact that Walter and I’s anniversary party was just a week and a half away. It was sure to be grand in every way with my Lord Love sparing no expense for our cherished day. Allowing me free reign over the celebration as usual.
‘Nothing but the best for my truest.’ he had confidently stated to me one night as we lounged on a chaise in his study talking about the upcoming date. Though not much was said after that, as we had just devoured our dinner, and I was feeling in a playful and wanton mood. A mood my beloved Master was all too willing to indulge me in, if his sharp smile of adoration was anything to go by. Speaking of my Lord Love, he shall be rather displeased if he wakes in our tomb, and finds that I am not by his side. He insisted from our first night as newlyweds that he and I would share our sleeping place as any Lord husband and his Lady wife would. I was certain Victoria’s face would tear open from her burning ire, at hearing this information, knowing he never intended to share such things with her or any other brides for that matter.
I sighed wistfully and turned before letting out a haunting shriek. Walter stood there with sleep filled eyes and a raised brow. “My truest, what are you doing awake? You must have your rest!”
I leaned against the balcony railing as I gripped it in my left hand and placed my right hand over my permanently stilled heart.
“My love, you frightened me,” I exclaimed in breaths of haunting of exasperation. “You know I have never been one for restful sleep and with all the excitement to be had, I fear I am even more so restless, my Lord Love.”
His face settled into one of sympathy as he beckoned me to his side, never being able to remain agitated with me for long. I practically leapt from my spot and glided over to him without hesitation. My white negligée swept around my feet with my body movement, and he earnestly enveloped me into his arms as I hugged myself to his side and delicately caressed the side of his face and neck. He nuzzles and caresses my hair as his strong hands stroked my back before leaning back to look upon my face and speak, “Well, seeing as it is almost time to rise for the evening, why don’t I have breakfast brought to my study for us to eat?”
I gave out a haunting moan of frustration and lightly stomped my foot, “But Master, I been locked away in this manor for weeks!” He sighed as he goes to speak, but I interrupt him as my eyes light up in a glowing golden hue and I gasp out a brilliant idea, “Why do we not go out for a hunt together. You have always loved when you and I terrorize a few most unfortunate souls in the village!”
Despite his irritation already slightly spiked by my interruption and slight brattiness, Walter takes it in stride and seeks to placate me, “Because the wolves are growing more confident in coming closer to our territory and I would be absolutely devastated if a single hair on my cherished queen’s head was hurt.”
I only proceed to pout at my feet as he rubbed his hands up and down my arms waiting for me to look at him. Once I cast my gaze up to him through my lashes he leans in with a playful twinkle to his eyes and whispered against still pouting lips, “besides you always insist on playing with your food, my truest.”
I let out an indignant squeak of protest which only prompted a heartily chuckle and a sensational quick kiss to my lips from Walter. “But Master—”
“(Y/N)!” I immediately shrank under the sternness of Walter’s voice. I dared to look at him and my face morphed into a crestfallen look as he gazed unwaveringly at me. “DO NOT argue with me on this matter! It is currently not safe for you outside these walls and therefore you will not leave this castle until the problem is dealt with. I will hear NO MORE of this! Do you understand me?”
I gazed back at the floor as I backed away from him, my golden irises welled to the brim with fresh tears. “Yes Master, I understand.” My voice cracking against my will. At seeing my fragile state Walter gave a regretful sigh whilst closed his eyes. Upon hearing my small haunted weeping, always seeming to echo like screams in his ears, he looked upon me hugging myself.
“My truest…please, do not cry. I did not mean to scared you. Do not be frightened by me, my truest.” I hear him speak gently. I slowly look up at him and he gave me an imploring and loving look. Knowing my mind, after so many centuries together, he goes to speak once more, “I am not angry with you, my truest. I could never be angry with you.”
He held out his hand for me to take and I cautiously crept by to him as my weeping quieted but continued to give off a haunting echo. I had seen his true anger many times. It was never directed at me, but it was nevertheless absolutely terrifying. He really only ever yelled at Victoria and others in the walls and on rare occasions, he would yell at Lucy. He seemed to always have little to absolutely no patience with any of them. He never yelled at me though, which is why I would take the blame for most of the mistakes that Lucy made as they were few and far between. I had sneaking suspicion that he knew but allowed me to protect Lucy since I seemed to personally favor her. Nevertheless, he mostly only spoke with sternness to get his point across, when it came to me.
Once I was within reaching distance, he pulled me back into his arms and placed a loving kiss to my temple, “My perfect little wife. My beautiful queen.” He sweetly cooes me, as he sways us gently. Finally, my weeping stops completely, and Walter calls out for Renfield to whom responded promptly.
“Have the food brought to my study. My queen and I will break our fast in there tonight.”
Renfield swiftly nodded before giving a bow to us, “Right away, my Lord. My Lady.”
He left almost as quickly as he came, and Walter gently ushers me to his study. Once inside he guides me to the plush Victorian sofa and sits with me in his lap and begins to softly wipe the tear stains from my glowing cheeks. I look at him for a moment before shifting my seated position and straddling his lap. I wrap my arms around his neck and play with his hair.
I rest my forehead against his, “I am so sorry, my Lord Love. I didn’t mean to upset you in the slightest.” Shaking my head vehemently, as he gives a smile and pushes my hair from my face to see me better.
“I know, my truest. I am sorry I lose my temper. I hate to see you cry, more than anything, especially when I am the cause for such a crime.” He kisses me sensationally and I melt into his body with a satisfied wanton moan. Our kissing quickly grows more passionate, and I feel my hips begin to move of their own accord. My warm bare heat slide over his growing hardness trapped within the confines of his trousers. Walter breaks our kissing with a groan as his head leans back. I felt a moan release from my mouth in what can only be described as pornographic as I feel his hands grip my hips move them faster while lifting his hips to press harder against my heat.
“You’re so beautiful!” He moans, whilst looking at me with a heated heavy-lidded look. I keep eye contact with him as I feel my climax closing in, and I can tell by his moans his is closing in too. “My Lord!” I sighed. I could feel it, it was so close.
“Cum, my truest. Cum for your Master.” One of his hands sliding up my torso to caress my breasts before traveling up to my neck to grip it firmly but not too tight. I felt my core explode with heat as he did this. As he lets go of my neck and my head falls into his neck as I ride out my ecstasy. Once I come down, I then notice he hasn’t felt his release and so my hips pick up the pace and I whimper at the overstimulation of my clit. He shushes me soothingly and I move my head to begin licking his neck.
Receiving the hint, he gives a euphoric smirk and gives me more access to his neck. I place several open mouth kisses along the slope of his neck before finding the perfect spot. I slowly bite down and begin sucking as his body give a jerk and he lets loose a loud cry of pleasure. He quickly reaches his climax and hugs me tighter to his body before moving some of my hair and swiftly biting down. I release a muffled moan as he began drinking and closed my eyes in bliss.
All good things must come to an end though because not long after there is a sharp knock on the door of the study. Walter growls at the nuisance as I unlatch from his neck, and he releases mine. I sit up and give him a playful smile, my fangs coated with his blood. My mischievous eyes gleam as he gives me a loving look despite his annoyance at the interruption.
“Our food is here, my Lord Love.” I breathlessly gasped out with a haunting echo of excitement. He chuckled, and lightly spanked my bottom, before responding.
“Yes, just remember to not play with your food, my truest.”
I stand up on wobbly legs as I say, “You’ve been saying that for over four and a half centuries! I do not understand why you think tonight will be the night I give up my entertainment.”
He jokingly rolls his eyes before pulling me into a passionate kiss and summoning Renfield in.
‘Now the fun really begins.”

For those who missed the clues in The Invitation
To my frustration there are people who saw the 2022 movie The Invitation but did not realize that it was a Dracula movie because the name is never said out loud. 
Tumblr media
If they had said the name out loud this would be considered “idiot proofing.”  That is the impolite term for when Hollywood over-simplifies things for an audience that they think is either stupid or not paying attention. 
Here are all the “clues” that Walter De Ville in The Invitation was actually Count Dracula.
1.  De Ville is the alias Dracula used while fleeing the heroes in the novel Dracula by Bram Stoker.  It’s a pun on the fact that the name Dracula can translate to mean Son of the Dragon or Son of The Devil.  Son of the Dragon is actually more accurate since the historic Vladislaus Dracula was a member of The Order of The Dragon, as was his father.    2.  His home is called New Carfax Abbey.   Carfax (usually called Carfax Abby in movies) was the English property Count Dracula buys in the original Dracula novel by Bram Stoker.  3.  You can hear a wolf howl in the background in some night scenes. There are no wolves in England (not for centuries) however Dracula, in Bram Stoker’s novel, could transform into a wolf at will.
4.    During one of the kill scenes (the one with the flickering light effect) you can hear the squeaking of a bat.  Dracula, traditionally, can turn into a bat.   In this particular kill scene you see him swoop down from above.  
5.  He’s a vampire Lord..  Dracula is a vampire lord, possibly even the king of vampires (in some films).   6.   De Ville has three wives / brides.  In the Dracula novel three woman vampires reside in Dracula’s castle. They were not called brides, however, until the 1931 Dracula movie starring Bela Lugosi.    
7.  One of the two remaining brides (after one killed herself early in the movie) is named Lucy.  Lucy was the name of the first woman Dracula turned into a vampire on Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula.
8.   One of the two brides is named Victoria.  This may not mean anything at all but the original Dracula novel was published in 1897 and set in 1891, the Victorian era.  In Anno Dracula, Dracula turned Queen Victoria into a vampire.
9.   There are scenes depicting heavy mist at night.  Dracula’s shapeshifting powers were usually reserved for night time in most depictions (though in the novel he can walk about by day).  It’s hard to tell if he conjured the mist or if he IS the mist.  Remember, Dracula is a shapeshifter and wolf, bat, and mist are his most common forms.  But he could also control the weather.
10.  When Evie learns the truth about Walter De Ville he tells her that his preferred name is one that means son of The Dragon.  She figures out what this means and says something like “So you’re...” and he smiles.  Remember, the original meaning of Dracula is “Son of The Dragon.”  
11.  When Evie flees Walter De Ville she comes across a seemingly kind, elderly, couple by the names of Jonathan and Mina Harker.  Jonathan and Mina Harker were two of the heroes in the Dracula novel.  Keep in mind that the vampires in Dracula can change their apparent ages at will, partly based on how well fed they are. There are photographs in the Harker house that indicate they are at least a century old, indicating that yes, these are the Jonathan and Mina Harker of the Dracula novel.  Dracula did turn them both into vampires after all.        12.  When Walter De Ville is badly wounded by Evie he ages into the form of an old man.  The vampires in Bram Stoker’s Dracula novel can change their ages at will based on how much they feed or how healthy they are.  Usually Dracula is depicted (at youngest) looking about forty-five or forty-six-years-old when well fed.  13.  Walter De Ville is shown with claw-like retractable nails, pointed ears, and retractable fangs.   These are traits from both the original Dracula novel by Bram Stoker and Fred Saberhagen’s Dracula novels.
14.   When Walter De Ville turns Evie into a vampire this is done via a blood exchange where she drinks his blood, much like what Dracula did to Mina in Bram Stoker’s Dracula.  And much like in the original Dracula novel it was believed that Evie would revert to being human if she killed him.  
15.  The alternate ending of the movie shows De Ville in his old man form aboard a ship, healed or healing from Evie having “killed” him.  If you know Hammer Dracula movies you know that like Jason Voorhees or Freddy Krueger, Dracula never stays dead.  Also Dracula is known to have incredible healing powers. He appears to have re-attached or regenerated his lost hand from his fight with Evie.    
16.   His butler “Mr. Field” is credited as Renfield.  Renfield was the mentally-ill man from the original Dracula story who was Dracula’s loyal disciple.  It looks like Dracula gave him immortality after all.   
17.   Renfield softly addresses Walter De Ville in either Romanian or Hungarian a few times in the movie, both languages are languages Dracula would speak and would be considered his native language. (Transylvania was a part of Hungary in 1891, when the Dracula novel takes place, before reverting to Romania a few decades later in the 20th century).
18.   Various characters (including Renfield) call Walter De Ville by “The Master.”  This is what Renfield often called Dracula in the original Dracula novel.  The Master’s song is even a song number in Frank Wildhorn’s Dracula The Musical, sung by Renfield.   
19.  Earlier in the film Evie’s friend warns her not to trust any man with a goatee. In the original Dracula novel he had a handlebar-like mustache in his old man form but a goatee in his more youthful form.
20.   Walter De Ville gives Evie several dresses including one that is blood red.  This is very similar to the dress Dracula gives Mina in the 1992 movie Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
21.  Victoria deliberately scares Evie in her bedroom similar to how The Brides messed with Jonathan Harker in the original Dracula novel.  Also Dracula, himself, had scared Jonathan Harker by walking on the ceiling. 
22.  Evie goes to sleep wearing an Outlander t-shirt.  Though this could just be a shameless plug for he show, Outlander is a romance dealing heavily with magick, time travel, ghosts, witchcraft, and even some immortals.  One episode of Outlander even had a character watching the 1960s Gothic soap opera Dark Shadows (which featured a vampire protagonist usually looking for his lost love or trying to protect his large and dysfunctional family).  The movie The Invitation also features at least one actress from Outlander so this could have been a nod to her.
23. Walter De Ville is shown to have no reflection if you look very carefully.   Dracula, of course, casts no reflection in the mirror.  This is also why Evie’s room has no mirror.  They claim it was broken and hasn’t been replaced yet. 24.   The small but predatory birds on the grounds are shrikes.  They impale animals on spikes and then eat them.   The historic Dracula is also known as Vlad the Impaler.  Țepeș just means impaler.  The spikes to supposedly keep out the birds would make for very convenient impaling implements FOR the birds. The historic Dracula impaled his enemies on long wooden spikes.  He also supposedly impaled small animals out of boredom while he was imprisoned by the king of Hungary.   It seems the Shrikes carry on that tradition.

Walter de Ville x Wife!Reader
Tumblr media
~Present day in 2022~
~(Y/N) P.O.V~
Roses. Traditional and elegant, but so unoriginal. Possibly the bleeding heart flower? The master would certain find that choice amusing. Then again, there is Cherry Blossoms. Representing renewal, which is befitting given the celebration.
‘Oh, but we had those for our 342nd Anniversary!’ I thought in frustration, huffing out a sigh. ‘Where is the creativity. The awe factor!’
The event coordinator must have sensed my rapidly rising irritation, as I shuffled through the damn flower books, and she scrambled to suggest more flower ideas. “There is always Locus flowers, Lady De Ville! They would certainly make a statement and the setting—”
“No.” I stated, indifference overcoming my composure. “No, I just don’t understand I suppose. You’ve had days and days to prepare and nothing you have shown me has yet to impress me in the slightest. Perhaps, I was wrong in believing you fit for the task…”
I stare her down as she struggles to find words in her defense. It was amusing in a way. Despite how I am in the presence of my husband, I cast off an entirely different persona in the presence of the public. A persona to rival that of the master. It’s certainly an entertaining sight for my Lord Love to watch as I interact with people. My mother always said, “who we are and who we have to be, are sometimes to completely different things.”
‘Words that I live by to this day.’  I mused to myself.
The coordinator still has yet to find solid footing and I grow tired of her incompetence. I close my eyes in disappointment and turn to leave the gardens before an innocent voice cuts through the air.
“Wait (Y/N/N)! Look at these flowers, Jade Vines.” Lucy called out, turning to me with a picture of turquoise blue flowers. ‘They certainly were stunning and most of all unconventional’ I pondered. I beckon her closer and she came bounding over, blonde curls bouncing softly with her every movement.
I hear the coordinator finally find her irksome voice, “Yes, Jade Vines would be an excellent choice! They are exotic flowers from the Philippines and considered one of the world’s most rare flowers, if not the rarest.”
I drown out her voice as a study the picture before I cast my gaze up to Lucy’s anticipated facial expression. I finally smile as I speak, “Yes, the Jade Vines would be perfect!” Lucy lets out an excited squeak. “Well done, Lucy.”
I bestow a soft endearing look to her as her face lights up at the praise and she bounces in her place. Viktoria can be so impatient with Lucy, bossing her about, and sometimes being just downright cruel. When Viktoria isn’t bullying her she simply ignores Lucy as if she isn’t even there. It saddens me to think that Lucy believes that no one cares for what she has to say. I do though, and I gladly listen her rambling. It’s nostalgic in a way as it reminds me of a younger me. A human me.
“Perhaps, I should place Lucy in charge of my anniversary event.” I glare at the other woman, who once again finds herself lost for words. “Don’t disappoint me again.” Which she vehemently nods in fear.
With that I swiftly turn and depart from the gardens. I’m almost inside when Renfield stops me on the spacious patio. He bows before rising to speak, “My deepest apologies for disturbing your planning, Lady De Ville. However, Oliver Alexander made an unannounced visit with what he claims is urgent news.”
I give Renfield an inquisitive and uncertain look before I fall back into my normal façade, “and tell me, why is this not being brought forth to the master?” I inquire, with a condescending head tilt.
“He has several important meetings lined up today, Mistress. Forgive me, I tried to send him away to return on a better day, but he insisted if he could not see the Master then he wished to speak to the Mistress.”
I heavily sighed before making my way towards my personal library. “Very well. Send him to my study in 10 minutes.”
“Certainly, Lady De Ville.” Renfield bowed, despite my turned back, and departed to collect Oliver Alexander.”
~(Y/N)’s Library~
I read over a few business project proposals and bank statements for some of the Castellan companies, before a steady knock sounds from the library doors. My golden hued eyes slowly trail over to the doors in disinterest. “Come in.”
Renfield swiftly opens the doors and makes way for Oliver. I internally roll my eyes, as Oliver gives me a dopey smile and bows in respect. He has always been a weasel and he truly had no favor with me at all. That’s why Walter tended to deal with him, so as not to upset me in any way. Speaking of which I didn’t need this boy here a moment longer than necessary.
“I hope your news is as urgent as you claim it to be, Oliver. You know I have little patience for those who waste my time.” My golden irises sharpen in a dangerous manner, to which the boy begins to squirm under.
“Yes of course, Lady De Ville. I wouldn’t dare dream of it. Though it truly is a marvelous occurrence and—”
“Out with it, Alexander!” I hissed, feeling my teeth elongate.
“We have discovered a female of the Alexander bloodline. Evie Alexander.” He fearfully blurted out.
This was quite a discovery. A very important one. All the bloodlines were bound in ancient magic to my Lord Love and the bloodlines worked together like a well oiled machine to insure prosperity and protection. Perhaps before the master and I were married, the prospect of offering a bride to the master held meaning, but that was no longer the case. At least not since he and I were wed and had became one. Now it was about keeping the bloodlines in line and doing our bidding under the illusion that their daughters held value. In truth, now all the families really did was help keep our identities and true nature from the light of truth. The brides from the other three bloodlines were really just incentive for the other bloodlines to behave and not induce the ire of my Lord Love.
With this new leverage over the Alexanders, we would be sure to have them under thumb once more. The only questionable matter is whether this girl was actually of the Alexander bloodline. I slowly stood from desk chair before leisurely gliding over to where Oliver stood.
“How exactly are you sure this so called long lost relative is truly of the Alexander bloodlines?” I asked, sweet sarcasm dripping from my voice.
“It was discovered through a DNA testing company that helps you discover people related to you.” He said, in excitement.
I nod as he finished speaking and waited on bated breath for my response, “Well, this is certainly a discovery. However, more research must be done into this girl. The Master must know as soon as possible, and I will be the one to inform him. Have you contacted this Evie?”
He shook his head and I nodded my approval. “Good. Make sure it remains so until I speak with my husband and he has decided what to do next. Only then will we commence with any plans.”
He gave me another idiotic smile and I gave a silent huff as I glared at him. “We shall be in touch very soon. You are dismissed.”
He bowed and quickly made way for the doors. I spun around to look out the enormous windows as my mind wanders off in thought.
‘Things are about to get a lot more difficult. This Evie was not raised like Viktoria, Lucy, and I. She is a different breed entirely, and certainly not one to be underestimated.’
