Ra’s looked at the new soulmark etched upon his arm: Vladimir Masters . Well, it was certainly a new thing for him after over six centuries of life. A soulmate. He had assumed that he had no soul anymore if he ever had one. Yet there was the proof, right on his arm. He had a soul. His soul had an other half. Someone who was born to be his perfect match.
He could only imagine the destruction this Vladimir would wrought before they would meet. He would have to be something special to be matched to the Demon’s head.
Ra’s smiled thinking of how much this man must be to have been matched with Ra’s and not his daughter. Though now that he thought about it, Talia had been much more careful about her wrist recently.
That was a future him issue. For now he would think about the ways he could properly court his soulmate.
Vlad looked at the man who had summoned him. An utterly gorgeous man. The most gorgeous human being Vlad had ever laid his eyes on.
Maybe this summoning wouldn’t be as bad as others.
“Who summons me?” he asked, letting a hint of his power show through, though that most mortals would cower in fear.
“I am Ra’s al Ghul,” the man said calmly.
Much too calmly for Vlad’s liking.
Then the name hit him. His soulmate was standing in front of him.
Vlad lowered himself to the ground.
“Do you know who I am?”
The man smiled like a cat that caught the canary.
“My soulmate,” he purred. “One that may just be worthy of me.”
“See I told you death wasn’t to be feared,” Vlad said, leading his love through the Ghost Zone to his palace.
“Not once it was certain I would gain this power,” Ra’s said.
Vlad could feel the being that was his eternal mate flexing his powers. The centuries of life and magic and being drenched in ectoplasm had not only allowed his love to become a ghost like him but master his powers at a rapid rate.
Much faster than either Vlad or the brat Daniel had.
But that didn’t matter. What did was that his soulmate would never have to leave his side again.
They landed on the edge of the island that held Vlad’s palace. Which was already beginning to shift to match the new second master of the island.
“It’s magnificent,” Ra’s said.
“And will only grow more so as you come further into your power,” Vlad said.
“Perfect,” Ra’s said, with the signature purr that Vlad had come to associate with a specific mood of his partner.
“What would you like to see first?”
“The bedroom of course.”
