I took a deep breath. It meant he would live alone once I returned to my world. That made me feel sad for him for some reason.
“I was pretty steamed when I heard this. If I refused the wedding, people would think I went back on my word. A royal’s word is everything. Other kingdoms would not trust me. I became a king at a young age, and I had responsibilities.”
I nodded. All made sense. I noticed his voice was growing bitter.
“So, I went over to confront Princess Mia. She was away. Her kingdom was a two-day ride away, so I decided to spend the night. I was trying to sleep when her lady maiden entered my room. I will not make a lame excuse she seduced me or something. All I can say is she was angry with the princess. Sleeping with a maiden is a grave sin. Right in the middle, Princess Mia walked in on us. To make the matters worse, the lady was her best friend. I broke her heart. She used the sorceress and put a curse. The righteous anger was on her side. She m
Being attracted to someone on a mild level was one thing; however, becoming pregnant was an entirely different level of commitment. Something like that was something I was already aware of. "I'm not sure what to make of this," I say. "I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to say." The motion was made with his head in a shaky manner. I made the decision to become a member of the organization. Having been crowned queen, I'm beginning to feel the weight of responsibility that comes with the position. Please do not inquire as to the reason for this. "Please refrain from spitting in the face of the gift." His amusement was quickly replaced by a smile, which eventually developed into a broad grin as he walked away. In order to keep a smile on my face while answering, I did everything I could. It was becoming more and more difficult to manage. The situation, whatever the circumstances, could not be tolerated! At the time of my vows, I was cons
"You appear to have settled in well here, Queen Nia," I exclaimed, to which she responded with a smile. "We've come to express our regret for what we've done. "We were wrong in what we did to you." There seemed to be an interminable pause. Then she gave a wink. The royal elegance has been replaced by a sense of mischief. Her actions were completely incomprehensible to me. I would have made the other person sweat and demonstrated my dominance over them. "I should be enraged at you, but for some reason I'm not," she admitted, her voice full of candor. "Please accept Queen Nia's apologies, Lady Jasmine." This time, the anticipation was even greater. Her cheeks were becoming increasingly flushed. For a split second, I thought she was going to say no. "I'm sorry, Queen Nia," she said, a slight bend of her head indicating her regret."You must put your hands on her feet," I instructed."That is not necessary," Queen Nia exclaimed, taki
"I'd like to see the entirety of the kingdom." "I need to get a sense of what Beastie is in charge of," I announced the following day. I was evolving into a woman with lofty aspirations. What a difference from working a low-wage job for fourteen hours a day, seven days a week, with no weekends or holidays. "Are you certain? "Your Majesty, it appears that you are not feeling well."I snorted when I heard their reply. They could be a little too formal. "Come on, ladies. Let's get this party started." "I'm not going to let a little bug get the better of me for long." I needed to get a sense of what this world was like before I returned home. Instead of being consumed by all of these conflicting thoughts and emotions, I decided to be more active. As if it were a wonderful dream, I needed to make the most of it while it was still in my possession. "It is entirely up to you, Queen Nia. Please hold on a moment. "We'll get a horse ready for you." "Does
“But she needs me.” “Be King, please, do not be a baby.” He wanted to argue, but her look froze his words. “I will be right outside the door. Call me if you need me, Queen Nia. Do not you worry about a thing. I am with you.” “Thank you, Beastie,” I whispered. I licked my lips. His anxiety was rubbing on me. I wanted him at my side, but I was too scared to suggest it. "Men," she muttered angrily.It took the midwife an hour and a half to examine me. The procedure was intrusive and humiliating for the participants. What kind of woman would allow someone to probe her like that?Queen Nia asked, a grin on her face, showing her toothless and dark gums. "Do you get sick in the mornings?" she inquired, a grin on her face. "Yes, the healer was aware of my presence. He believes that the water is in disagreement with me. It's not a big deal at all. "Do I have a serious illness?" I wonder. That was a terrifying thought to have. she
I really wanted them to leave right now, but I couldn't bring myself to say it out loud. What were they thinking at the time? I really wanted to throw them away.The ladies flitted around, attempting to make me feel comfortable and ready for the day. I was unable to find even a single moment of tranquility, however. After passing through the trees, the full moon was visible high in the sky above us. It served as a timely reminder that the clock was ticking. The next full moon would be in a month's time. This was becoming increasingly unfair.What a waste of time. This was not going to be a particularly memorable night, I reasoned. "Queen Nia, I hope you have a pleasant and restful night," Lady Alana said, a wink in her eye. "Yes, sweet dreams, my fair queen," Lady Josephine agreed, her voice echoing the others. When they were together, they could be a sadistic pair. I could hear the laughter and snickers of the ladies for a mile as they walked back to t
"Can you tell me what's wrong with you, Lady Jasmine?" I was starting to get irritated. I was on the verge of imprisoning Lady Jasmine and subjecting her to hard labor. It might help her to come to her senses. She was putting my friendship to the test to the extreme. "I was under the impression that we were friends." She was just as enraged as I was with her. I thought to myself, "Well, that's unfortunate." It was imperative that we all do what was best for the father kingdom."We've been friends since we were born." "We'd always be friends," says the author. It turned out to be true. I was perplexed as to what had gotten her so worked up in the first place. If you value me, you should stop seeing Queen Nia, she said, her voice brimming with emotion. "Do you think I'm joking? "Do you think you're a child?" There was so much at stake that I couldn't afford to give in to her unreasonable demands. If I did anything to cause a rift in our family's alliance, my
I was beyond happy. I was a blessed woman. Even in my wildest dreams I did not think I would have so much good fortune. Good things happened to good people. Who knew? It is almost morning, and I was in his arms, savoring every precious second. He was stroking my back. At this moment, I knew I was loved, even though we did not voice it aloud. I hoped he would say to me those four magical letters. I did not think it would be long. I could say it first, but I wanted him to do it. “I had to go, my fair queen,” he said. But he did not move. He barely looked like a beast. Sure, there was hair, but it was like a slightly hairy man, nothing too disgusting. All I wanted nowadays is to be with him. How he looked did not matter to me. My attraction to him went way beyond his surface beauty. He was such a nice man. “Stay.” I yawned and held on to him tighter. “You do not want to see me at daytime.” “Do you want to bet?” I gave light kisses on his jaw. It
I took off running. The final image depicted the beast king battling the monster on his own. From my room, I could hear the terrible sounds of a fight. I felt terrible for putting him in such a difficult position. It seemed like an eternity before he returned. I could tell he was in a lot of pain. "Show me your scars," says the doctor. I was in a state of panic. "I'm in good health." I desperately wanted to follow him, but he had barricaded himself inside his wing. I forced down the breakfast. I was not hungry, but I had to think of the baby. I was terrified that something bad might have happened to the beast king. I could not help but caring about the beast king. I was unable to hate him for long periods. “Amy wants to see you, Queen Nia,” Lady Alana said with a twinkle. “Who is she?” “She wants some words of wisdom. It is known in the entire kingdom that you are wise and kind. I do not see it,” Lady Alana joked. Of co
Drakes Pov “So you found the location of the White Lion,” Drakes stated with a blank look as he stood not facing his new injured visitors with his hands behind his back. “Yes Master, but we barely escaped with our lives for he is too powerful. The magic you gave us is also not affective against him for he deflected it back to me.” Leona replied while still clutching on to her stomach where her biggest injury was. Her sister Leyva also stood next to her having recovered but with injuries and was also wincing from her own injuries.“So its just as I thought. Aladdin’s magic and Alucard`s Powers alone will not be enough, I need to get more physical strength plus numbers by going after the White Wolf first.” Drakes stated while rubbing his chin in thought.“But still, you FAILED. This is the second time you witch sisters. You managed to also lose my newly acquired kin, the Vampire King Adrian.” Drakes continued but now with malice in his voice.
Elise Pov After that first mysterious roar, I heard Leona`s scream as if someone had attacked her. Then I felt the hands of someone hugging me.“Luke,”’ I whispered as soon as I felt the familiar sparks, although I still did not have my sight back and was still in darkness.“Yes, it is me I got you,” he responded while hugging me tightly and making my heart calm.“How DARE YOU COME HERE AND DISTURB MY SLEEP?” The loud powerful voice ROARED again. Igniting another earthquake tremor and whirling wind. I could feel as that caused us to be thrown and fly high in the air. Then to only land painfully further away, rolling into the grass.I also heard the pained sounds of Leona, Leyva and Adrian; seems they were also being thrown around too. The power of this Roar was sparing no one.As for us, Luke was the only one to release the pained sound as he took the whole fall, making me land on top of him, like a pillow.“What is causing that,” I cou
Elise POV Lydia duplicated herself into her twenty clones and they were the first to come and attack me.Grinding my teeth against each other in anger, I confidently stood there waiting for them to reach me. I could feel my hair becoming wet and even counted the number of droplets hitting against my face and flowing down.As soon as they did reach me, a switch flipped in my head and I was soon moving in sync with the blade in my hand. Killing as many Lydia clones as I could.Instead of a trail of Lydia bodies in my wake, seems that every time they died. The clones disappeared into black smoke instead of dead bodies.But Lydia kept on redoing the spell, spawning more and more to replace each that I killed.I quickly realized that they wanted to tire me so they could easily blast their spells at me like last time.But I had no choice so I continued fighting and killing with no thought of giving up.A small smile came on to my face as I not
Elise POV “So my mother, met the Magical White Lion in the Amazonian forest?” Luke first said,“At least it did not say the moon, for that would have made this harder for us.” He added with a relieved look.“Lets go and find him then,” I said to him as we got up.“I would come too, but from what you guys told me, I cannot wear my sun ring and will continued staying indoors instead. I have enough animal blood stocked to last a last time,” as Kim mentioned animal blood, I was a bit surprised for because of her red eyes and hate for humans I had thought that she drank human blood from blood banks. Like the other rich elite Vampire who had money.But then I realised why her eyes turned red, it was when she saved Adrian, drinking the blood of her soulmate and killing him.“Kim, can I bring my mother here? She also has no sun ring and I don’t want to worry for her safety.” I stopped walking and turned around to ask her.She first glared at me, no
Elise Pov “Luke whose place is this?” I could not help but ask as we arrived at teleported right outside the Gothic looking Mansion.“This is Kim`s home.” As soon as he replied that, I quickly glared at him!Like what the hell?“One I do not get along with that rude vampire female and secondly she could be under Drakes control and thirdly why again?” I quick shouted with another deeper glare. “Kim`s mother Annie who was a Vampire historian used to always be at the castle recording my mother’s stories. Its how they became friends and why Kim was always around us as kids.”“I never got along with her, for instead of playing with me, my Twin Adrian was always following her around like a lovesick fool. So I played boy stuff with Trey instead.” Luke continued.“So we are just only here to get this book,” I asked again with a frown. And yes I was secretly jealous hoping Luke did not also like her too like Adrian did. For if so, I was ready for a
Elise POV “Still, the only way he would get Alpharix to show up is through his daughter. I need to contact Ariel! For she is still in danger with her wolf.” Luke quickly stated in panic making me realize that he was right for the magical wolf was still a father.And as a father, he would do anything for his daughter and Wolf pup Luna.“I would teleport us to their home base right away, but being rogues they never stay in one place and are always traveling. Every time I talk with Ariel she always seems to be in some other new location, or in a boat or some plane.” As Luke said this, he ran his hands through his silky hair worriedly.And We knew Wayne and his friends may still have not yet reached them to report.I then looked to see Luke move to take the slumbering Lycan King`s phone, right from his pocket as he slept.Luke had lost his own phone during the fight with his brother and I lost mine a long time ago.“Of course, the password woul
Elise`s POV My mother quickly brought a cloth and water so we could clean up the deep wound.Emma also brought a first aid kit box, so I could disinfect and bandage him up.“He will be okay, don’t worry too much.” I heard my mom say. This was after we were done as she saw the scared look on my face as I stared at his now sleeping form.“I hope so, because I cannot survive without him,” I replied in a low voice as she left, not wanting her to hear my sullen reply.I decided to take a shower first for I was still in my prom dress. Another now ruined dress but this one was worse for it was coated in the blood of those I had failed to save.What was it with me and attending functions? Only for them to end up in disaster? From now on I refused to attend another prom, ball, or some shady auctions. I was done with all kinds of parties and events.But as I now stood in the shower, busy washing my hair. I finally let the tears i had been holding thi
Elise`s POV It was Kiala`s date Wayne, He looked just as horrified as I was by all that was happening. "Hmm, a Werewolf Rogue, figures. But don't worry, for soon, I shall be able to control your kind too." Drakes stated as he noticed Wayne at the same time too."You are a monster!" Wayne instead growled back while trying to prevent Tiffany and Kiala, from killing each other."Wayne, take them to safety, please," I managed to shout while also battling some of the zombies. Every time I killed my now zombified classmates, they kept on rising again. Tiffany and Kiala were not dead yet and they could be saved. "What about you," The werewolf Rogue growled back, "Just go, I will survive. GO NOW!" I shouted so he could see how serious I was. "I will try to get help for you." He replied with a nod while knocking both screaming girls out and then carrying them with his werewolf strength. From the way he was gently carrying Nia, I coul
Elise`s POV “Yes, he makes me happy. I feel as if my life is now finally complete because of now having him by my side. He told me that he would even give me the world and anything I desired.” She replied with another happy look of someone in love. She took a glass of the red punch from a waiter and held it in her hands, swirling it around. I also took one and started drinking it too after we did a cheer.Still, I was now busy hoping Emma, would be quick in bringing Luke here. I needed my date so we could dance together and make memories.But while looking around the room, my gaze immediately froze as I stared at something distasteful. “Lydia!” I angrily shouted as there that Witch stood. How dare she show up here? After what they did to me.She was also dressed for prom with her triplet sisters next to her. There all wore dresses matching with their hair colors; Black, Purple, and Orange.“Dear Elise. Always so fiery. But tod
