Adrian sat on the other end of the couch placing his mates head on his lap running his hands through her hair gently. “even I don’t deserve her but she still stayed with me after what I put her through, our time together wasn’t always pleasant, I hated her very being at first but I was still drawn to her, then when she got hurt, it was like my world came crashing down around me, I didn’t believe a monster like me could have a mate but there she was integrating herself into my life,” Adrian smiled a little before he continued speaking.“then I found out Throne was her father, it felt like fate was trying to break me and funniest thing is that you can’t break what's already broken, my lycan side didn’t care who her father was but my human side couldn’t stomach the fact that his worst enemy’s daughter was his mate, I did the only thing I could think of, I ran but she still found her way too me, then I knew we could never be apart so I crush that feeling and decided that no one could stop
The next day Ella had sent one of her ladies in waiting to their cottage to invite them to breakfast, a knock came from the door as gaining Serena’s attention, Adrian was still in the bathroom so she put on his robe before going to the door to open it and see who was at their door so early in the morning. When Serena opened up the door she recognized the young lady immediately, “oh hello Hannah, good morning, what do you need” Serena asked giving her a questioning look. “the queen wants you to have breakfast with you and your husband,” Hannah said briefly before she turned to walk away, before what she said could register in Serena’s head Hannah was already gone.With a sigh leaving her lips Serena closed the door to find Adrian standing in front of the door to their room, “who was that” Adrian asked drying his hair with a towel. “one of the queen’s lady in waiting, she wanted to tell us that the queen invited us to breakfast,”.“hmm, well she wants to know how you are Serena, she car
Stephen stared at his little sister wandering what she knew, does she know the reason why he left, did my mother tell her something else, Stephen frowned as different thoughts ran through his head, “stop frowning it will give you wrinkles Stephen” Sarah said as Stephen was brought out of his thoughts giving her small smile. “What were you talking about before, you know why I left, who told you?” Stephen questioned but tried not to scare her while he stared at his little sister.With a smile Sarah leaned in and whispered into Stephen’s ear “don’t worry, brother, I will tell you later,” Sarah said before she pulled away from Stephen turning to walked towards Adrian and Serena.The little girl had beautiful blonde hair, ocean blue eyes that complimented her olive coloured skin, her face was heart shaped as well as her lips. this little lady was going to be the talk of the town when she is older, Serena thought as she smiled at the young girl who was currently standing in front of her mat
“I see, the maids will show you your room, have a lovely evening” Elena said as her daughter and her walked back into the castle with her guards following behind them. “She still hasn’t changed, Lisa is becoming like her with each passing day and that scares me” Stephen whispered under his breath to no one in particular.“let's go in shall we” Ella said as we all walked into the castle, it was like the castle was actually made of ice“My Queen why does it look like the castle is made of actually ice,” Serena asked as she turned to Ella who was lost in thought, so Stephen turned to her giving her a concerned look “Aunt Ella are you okay,Karenina was asking you a question but you looked out of it”.“i’m sorry dear what was your question” Ella sighed softly.“That doesn’t matter now, are you okay?” Serena asked one again. “i’m sorry it’s just that being back here brings back painful memories, everything remind me of her and it's just making me sad but I’m okay I promise, you don’t need
“You look beautiful Duchess Karenina” Stephen said with a proud smile pulling me in for a hug, “thank you Stephen, you don’t look bad yourself” Serena giggled causing Stephen’s smile to widen. “Oh I know but your mate is stealing all the attention, every female can’t take their eyes off him” “I know right and he was the one complaining that I would be the one getting all the attention” Serena pouted causing Stephen and Adrian to laugh“He is not wrong, you're getting your fair share of attention from the males here too, he looks like he wants to rip all their heads off” Stephen laughed, causing Adrian to glare at him.“Don’t encourage him he already had murder in his mind before we even got here he promised to rip out their eyes and their limbs if they even look at me, can you believe him” Serena sighed“Funny thing is that if I was in his place, I would do the same thing too,” Stephen said, making Adrian smirk. “You guys are two peas in a pod, I can’t take you anywhere,” Serena p
On their way back from the bathroom, Serena and Sarah were stopped by a drunk vampire, “Hello may I know the name of the most beautiful woman in the room” the vampire asked as he stood a little too close for comfort to the two of them, Serena tried not to gag at the pick up line as she turned to face Sarah, “Serena I’m scared” Sarah muttered staring at the man with fear in her eyes, Serena knelt down so she could look into Sarah’s eyes “honey, I need you to be strong and go get Adrian and Stephen, can you do that for me love,” Serena whispered as Sarah, as she nodded and ran away from the man whose attention wasn’t focused on her”“I don’t want too, so please let me pass” Serena asked politely, she could smell the alcohol on him, being careful as not to provoke a drunk vampire, “you can’t deny me your name, do you know who I am”“I really don’t care and I don’t want to tell you my name, so please let me pass,” Serena said, trying to walk past him but he blocked her escape route.“stop
Adrian and Serena walked side by side into the large beautifully decorated dining room, thankfully they were both seated together and Stephen had to sit beside his older sister, Lisa, who wasn’t still speaking to him. Every royal had to take their seats before everyone else was allowed to sit, ”you may all take your seat” Queen Elena said as everyone else started to take their seats.“I welcome you all to the first winter ball hosted in the North ever since my dear sister Queen Tiara died and so we decided to have it here this year to honor her memory and everything she did for her people” Queen Elena said in a sad tone but only a few knew this was all an act and she really didn’t care about her sister “Well said Queen Elena, your sister was a beautiful soul and she deserves to be celebrated,” Thorne said with a wide grin, while Serena had to bite her tongue to stop herself from saying anything she would regret at the end of the dinner.“Also my Sister, Queen Ella decided to grace us
After dinner everyone went to their respective rooms forgetting about the scene that took place during dinner more like acting like it never happened. Stephen, Serena and Adrian left the garden immediately the dinner ended, Serena and Adrian wanted to go back to their room but they were reluctant on leaving Stephen who said he wanted to go and see Queen Ella to apologize for his behavior but eventually he was able to persuade them to go.After he saw Serena and Adrian to their room, Stephen went over to Queen Ella to apologize for losing his cool when his mother was antagonizing him on purpose, on getting to her room he was told by the guards that she was still with Queen Elena, unable to wait he went back to his room telling himself he will see her tomorrow.In the dining room where Queen Ella and Elena are still present....“Why would you provoke your son in front of your subjects’ Queen Ella asked her sister, who paid no mind as she got to her feet.“Ella you have no business in ou
After the war had ended, everything slowly went back to the way it was before, Elena and Killian were dead, their armies destroyed and Killian’s research facility were all confiscated. There is a saying that goes: scars fade but Adam’s death will be a scar that will take a while to fade. Even if he lived his life doing a lot of bad things in order to save his sister and wanted to actually atone for his sins and this was the only way he knew how, dying In order to save anyone else from dying at the hands of Killian’s lycan minions.Adam's coffin was buried in the cemetery from fallen heroes even if his body wasn't able to be found by the order of Queen Ella, and no one objected. When Anna was told of her brother's death the little girl broke down and all she said was, "At least he did it for a good cause."Princess Lisa was able to calm her down and they were both brought to attend Adam's funeral but it was also a time of joy because the two girls were happy to see that everyone was aw
"How far are they ahead of us?" Lucian asked one of the guys, who were turning away from the handful of luczns chasing them, if they killed one two more would appear, they came at them like a never ending stream of water"Two miles…not much more than that," Adam responded as he turned to throw a fireball at the incoming zombies, not only did they have to deal with freakishly strong lycan, they also had zombies to deal with."Don't this fuckers get tired?" Stephen yelled over the chaos."Apparently not," Lucian muttered, stopping to ripped the head off a zombie that had approached him."Serena needs to get rid of Elena soon, because the lycans her getting closer," Adam said as she threw another fireball at a zombie.A howl came from a distance as the group turned back to see a group of lycan approaching them"Fuck! they found us!" Stephen yelled "You don't need to fucking yell we can see them!" Lucian yelled back glaring at Stephen."Someone is grumpy—" Stephen muttered under his breat
Elena and Killian headed for the west after days had passed, the scientists had perfected the serum and his lycans were ready to be dispatched, some guards from the east and north that were loyal to Elena were present at Telford getting ready for war."The day has come for us to finally take our revenge on our enemies, dear Elena, and we will be victorious!" Killian grinned with evil relish as they got into a carriage with the lycans and soldiers following behind them.Queen Ella had already received news that Elena and Killian were there, her army was ready, it was a mixture of vampires, lycans, mages and Queen Ella’s men.Queen Ella approached the podium to address the army, "I thank you all for joining me in this, let's charge and give the people the justice they deserved" Queen Ella said as the army erupted in cheers.An hour later…Adrian, Serena, Adrian and Lucian were in the front row of the army as their gaze fell on Elena and Killian who had already arrived."Everyone of you
News of what had happened at the council headquarters had spread round the whole region and the whole world had shook; Elena and Killian had killed every last one of the Council members and every species demanded justice for their leaders' deaths.A representative of each species were summoned to the north by Queen Ella. She was going to reveal Serena’s identity and ask who would follow her and fight Killian and Elena.Some representative arrived apart from the Elf, Fae and Fairy regions, they were to fucking proud to proud to accept help from anyone.So the son of the vampire King had arrived, the lycan delegate who was against the throne, the Prince of the mages and Some North delegates.The guest were ushered into the throne room by the Royal guards and everyone was present, Adrian with Serena by his side, Stephen with Belle by his side and Adam who was standing in one corner observing the guest."I welcome you to the west,'' Queen Ella said as she looked down at the crowd."It's a
Council annual meeting…. Elena was the first to arrive at the council headquarters, it was the day of the annual council meeting and Killian had informed her how the plan would go. They would kill each council members from the weakest to the strongest and strongest of them all was King Alexander the vampire King, he was known to have multiple abilities, the the second on the list was Elena because she was the Grand High Witch, the third on the list was King Damien the mage king and Queen Seraphina the Elve Queen and finally Killian and Sabella the fairy queen where ranked last.Everyone was already seated and they were waiting for Killian, Elena took her seat beside Sabella, she was one of the nice rulers, Elena sounded her bubbly personality annoying."Queen Elena, we weren’t expecting you to come with all that had happened" Seraphina said, staring at Elena in disapproval."I have a right to be here Queen Seraphina, even if there is an investigation going on, this isn't your regu
After their meeting was over Adrian and Serena went to their room after eating dinner. Once they were in their room Serena wrapped her hands around Adrian placing a quick peck on his lips Then He bent down, his lips against her cheek, brushing it lightly—and still that light touch sent shivers through her nerves, shivers that made her whole body tremble. "Serena, I want you" Adrian whispered. When she still said nothing, he brushed his mouth against the hollow of her temple. He traced the line of her cheekbone, his lips were against hers. "Make love to me Adrian, I want you too" she said before reaching up to wrap her hands around his neck and pulling him down so their lips could meet. He kissed her gently, carefully, but it wasn’t gentleness she wanted, not now, not after all this time, and she knotted her fists in his shirt, pulling him harder against her. He groaned softly, low in his throat, and then his arms circled her, gathering her against him as he deepened the kiss, as the
Belle didn't even know when the tears started falling from her eyes, he didn't deserve all he had been through what type of mother would do that to her own son, so this was the reason he left the east and came to the north. Belle, who was still in tears, watched as the scene changed.She was now in a small room and when her gaze scanned the room she found Stephen standing in the at the corot the room staring at the wall, he looked like a lifeless zombieSeeing him like that killed her, he looked lost."Stephen," Belle called out but got no answer."I know it hurts, I know you are in pain, but the people you love are hurting because you are in pain, they miss you, I kiss you bugging me, calling me doc, we all need you to wake up" Belle said as she took steps closer to him."You know before I came to the castle, I had a little sister, she was so energetic and loved everything life had to offer" Belle sighed before she continued, "But she fell sick when she turned six, nonone knew what w
Then a knock came from the door and Alison came out of a room, Belle guessed it was her bedroom, as she opened the door shocked crossed her face..“My queen---" she exclaimed, surprised that she had come to her cabin. Elena push through the door and walked into the modest living room. Her nose turned up as she assessed the simple decor. She scoffed silently. “There is absolutely no need for pretence, Alison. I know you must hate me and wish me death---"“My queen----" Alison gasped in dismay. “Shut up and let me speak!” Elena snapped in contained rage. Alison swallowed. A little disappointed that the other woman had not come to make peace. She had been hoping that one day she would come around, and accept her relationship with her son. But it appeared it was nothing but a pipe dream. “I have come to offer you, your last chance at redemption, and if I were you, I will think well before I push further, the mother of a man which you have stolen!”“I'm sorry that you feel this way ---"
Belle then woke up in a dark forest surrounded by large pine trees, the forest was as silent as a graveyard. "Where the fuck am i?" Belle whispered under her breath as she studied her surroundings, as she walked through the dark forest last thing she remembered was going to Stephen's room to see if what the figure that visited her dream said was true.Was she truly the only one that could break Stephen’s curse as she was lost in thought a bright light appeared and she was immediately transported to a cottage in the middle of nowhere, she could hear voices coming from the next room so she decided to investigate.When she got to the next room, she saw a younger version of Stephen standing in front of a woman she didn't know he was smiling with no care in the world, thus was the first time she had ever seen him smiling like this."Come on Alison, I would love it if you would meet my mother, you are very important to me and I would like to introduce you to her" Stephen said as a worried
