"He… he agreed?" Julie's face was suddenly drained of all colour. However, her facial expressions did not change in the slightest.

"I haven't met my husband or the prince yet, but it appeared this was what the council had concluded and decided on. If the prince had not given his consent, there would be no way that anyone could have made a move."

"I see…" was all Julie said. But her reaction was clear to the Duchess. It was obvious Juliet was affected and was even probably devastated, and heart broken, judging from the dispirited look in her eyes.

This was not what the duchess had expected. Didn't she hate Alex that she didn't even allow him to sleep with her in the same room? Aurora had heard that yesterday, the prince left the princess' room and slept somewhere else. Even the servants have started gossiping, saying that the princess must have kicked him out in the middle of the day.

So, what was with her betrayed expression now? Could it be that they were missing out on an important piece of information? This could spell out a disaster if things were not handled correctly.

"I would like to retire now, Duchess Aurora. It's been a pleasure to meet and speak with you." Julie forced a small smile and then turned away to leave. Her voice, her forced smile, and the sorrowful look in her eyes… It was crystal clear to the duchess on how hard she was struggling to keep her emotions in check. These were not the reactions and expressions of a wife who does not care about her husband at all. In fact, she was behaving as if her husband had betrayed their love and marriage vows despite giving her heart to him! What exactly was happening here?

It appeared she and the rest of them were wrong to believe in the rumors. But her, not allowing Alex to touch her wasn't a rumor. Could it be that the princess was slowly falling for the prince now?

"Please slowdown Milady. You might fall." Elijah said when Julie hastened her pace, desperately wanting to get back to the security of the room she shared with Alex.

Elijah was also surprised at what he had heard. He was not aware about this as he had yet to meet with the prince since the prince left for the meeting. Did he really agree? He highly doubted it but since he was certain that the Duke and the Duchess would never do anything without the Prince's permission, he could only take it as the truth. The Duke had never done anything against the Prince's wishes before.

And because Elijah and all the other five loyal men of Prince Alex had also been urging their master to sire a child, he could not hide his relief and gladness. They understood the importance of having another royalty. It was all for Prince Alex sake as well. Everyone who supported the prince wanted this so badly that all of them would probably do anything to make it happen, if only the Prince was not against it.

Julie suddenly lost her balance as she stepped on her skirt due to her rushed steps. Thankfully, Elijah caught her right on time, just before she could fall to her face.

"Your Highness, please. I just told you to slow do…" Elijah could not continue his statement because he finally saw the look in Julie's face. Oh no… he had totally forgotten about the lady.

Hiding her face, Julie pulled away from Elijah as she rushed forward again. Realizing that the lady was not happy at all and even looked as if her heart were crushed, Elijah couldn't help but worry. He didn't expect her to be affected this badly and take it so harsh, since he knows that she still didn't allow the prince to touch her.

Could it be because she's worried that the Prince will eventually marry one of his concubines? He remembered how she reacted about the issue with Lady Thea back in the capital and Elijah's worry skyrocketed. He was certain that the reason why she went to the little forest and encountered a beast was because she was angry and hurt, thinking that the prince was going to take on another wife.

Afraid that she was going to do something that would end up hurting herself, Elijah slightly panicked. The prince would probably kill him if something happened to her. He must do something to calm her. He must reassure her that there was nothing to worry about.

"Milady, uhm… I hope you can understand this. I know you're already aware about the brewing war between the prince and the fake royal family so everyone is really unstable right now." He started explaining as he walked beside her.

But Julie continued, seemingly determined to finally reach her room and shut him out. "Everyone is urging the prince to sire a child to secure the royal bloodline. And that's why they could only resort to this. You know that Aliens don't conceive children easily, right? So having him take more than two concubines would be the most ideal way to increase the chance of him siring a child."

Julie wished she could close her ears and shut down her mind. She didn't want to hear any more. Yes. She knew. She was completely aware about this matter that Elijah had mentioned. The importance of the damn bloodline. Because her own family was suffering from this and unfortunately… her father did the same, just for the sake of producing an heir, since her mother was unable to give him a male child. She could not believe she was going to go through this as well.

"And you are already aware about the fact that it is almost impossible for a human and a Alien to have a child together, right? So… I hope you can understand why this had to happen, Milady. The people are desperate for a reassurance especially during this troubling times. They want to do everything and anything possible to secure the royal bloodline before the war starts.

So please don't worry, Milady. Because I am certain His Highness will never take another wife. You will be his only wife. The concubines' sole purpose is to bear His Highness an heir." He continued and Julie almost laughed.

These same things were told to her mother as well. She wondered how painful it was for her mother. Now that she was being told the same thing. She wondered how her mother managed herself during those times and most probably, until now. Because it already felt unbearable to her… even though she didn't even love him… She didn't? Then why was this impossible painful feeling running throughout her whole being right now?

    Julie ended up spending the entire time waiting up for Alex in their room, sometimes pacing up and down, sometimes sitting on the bed in a daze – but he never did appear. She eventually fell into a troubled and fitful sleep, plagued with a painful and heavy heart.When she finally woke up, her gaze immediately fell to the empty side of their bed before she turned her head towards the window.

    Julie stiffened at his words but she maintained her indifference. "Nothing happened.""Look at me, Juliet." He said firmly. And when Julie refused to obey, Alex took a deep breath, closed his eyes for a brief moment, and opened them again. "Don't make me repeat myself…"Julie finally turned, and she could not believe that even at this moment, the stunning beauty of the man before her still could cause her breath to catch in her throat. Why does he have to be this bewitching?Trying her hardest to keep her emotion hidden from him, Julie looked at him with emotionless eyes.The muscle in Alex's cheek ticked along his jaw but he stayed very still for a long moment, as if he were having his very own internal battle within him while scrutinizing his wife's face."Alright… I won't ask why you're acting like this anymore." His gaze softened. "Why don't you question me instead, wife? Won't you dig and find out the reason why I couldn't spend the day with you?" came his impossibly alluring voi

    Alex finally lifted his head from the thoughts of his maddening wife that were plaguing his mind and realized that no one else were in the room but the ladies who were with him. This made him narrow his eyes dangerously.The bolder one of the two women was already undressing in front of him. "Your Highness, we could tell you're in a very foul mood. Did your wife kick you out of your bed again? Do not worry, we are here to serve and please you, Your Highness." The other woman whispered to him as she caressed his chest seductively. "Let us help you relax." She added as the other woman approached him, naked.Alex felt the rage he was trying so hard to suppress rapidly explode out of him. "Who gave you both the permission to do this!?" he snarled in a wintry, hostile voice."Y-Your Highness, pl-please don't think about anything else and –"His eyes immediately burned red, and aura flamed outwards, causing the women to be knocked back a few steps and they even started to tremble just by th

    "Julie…"Not knowing what to do, Alex slowly lifted his hands and reverently touched her face, resting them below her ears. Her cheeks were icy cold it made his heart ache even more but what struck him the hardest were her tears. "I'm sorry…" his voice cracked a little and he then inched forward, erasing the space between them, he buried his face in her hair and held her, almost desperately. "I'm so sorry… this is a misunderstanding. Those ladies. I never allowed it. I never agreed. I didn't even know the duke had called them here." He explained as fast as he could. "Please. Don't cry. I was outside the castle since yesterday, surveying the frontlines in preparation for the war. It was so sudden as I received an urgent report informing that the crown prince was on his way here to siege the city. I only arrived a while ago and came straight to you."Julie couldn't believe what she was hearing. The warmth of him as he hugged her so tightly, the desperate tone he was using, the cracks ap

    Shocked with utter embarrassment, Julie automatically reached down and grabbed Alex's hair to stop his face from reaching her most private area. Her face was as red as a cooked lobster as she looked down at him with wide-opened eyes.Alex peeked up at her and his eyes glimmered more startlingly than usual. A hint of devious yet relaxed and hypnotic smile graced the corners of his mouth.Without averting his eyes from hers, he licked her inner thigh, causing Julie to tremble and gasp again. Her hands on his head grasped onto his hair tighter and he took advantage of her disorientation, moving further towards his goal. His breath was hot as he trailed his searing tongue along her soft skin."Don't worry, I'll make you feel good, wife." He said huskily, sounding as though he was soothing her with his mouth and tongue. "Open your legs for me, love…" he coaxed, and she did not know how she ended up doing so when he was not even holding her legs with his hands.She could feel him smiling ag

    Reluctantly, he finally eased away and pulled the blanket over her. He was about to stand when Julie reached out and tugged on his robe."Where… where are you going?" she asked, her face suddenly anxious as her fingers tightened on his robe without realisation."I have an errand to take care of." He responded, as his gaze tilted towards the door and the commotion that was going on outside for a long while now."Errand?""Mm. Don't worry, I'm not going to leave again without telling you first." he smiled contentedly and kissed her forehead, causing her colour to rise again. "I'll come back as soon as I deal… as soon as I am done saying a few words to them."...The duke and everyone else involved were waiting anxiously in the throne hall where it was silent and tense as they all stood before Alex.When they were suddenly summoned by the prince with such an urgency, they could not help but feel threatened. Aside from his stubbornness, Prince Alex had been a good and incredibly sensible

    Clad in a furry and thick white cloak, Julie stood at the top of the tallest watchtower at the City's entrance. Alex was standing next to her – a sight to behold as well as he stood tall and elegant clad entirely in black – holding her hand, and watching her silvery hair being blown behind her by the gentle cold breeze.Julie had her eyes fixed at the vast snow-white meadow spread out before them, realizing from what her eyes were looking at, that Dacria was truly a fortified city. The giant ancient walls that seemed to be made from black stones looked so formidable and impregnable. No human army could ever manage to breach these fortifications and seize such a place like this.Now that she was looking at the full view of the entire fortress, and saw what a formidable stronghold Dacria actually was, Julie could not help but look on with wonder. Why did the Dacrians ever thought of creating and building such gigantic walls in the first place? Was there an unknown reason that prompted t

    Julie glanced at the bed and innocently nodded. But the next moment, her expression changed."But… why?" she asked hesitantly. "Did something happen between you and the duke?""No, love. Nothing happened. I simply said some kind words to him as a reminder and everything's fine now." He immediately answered with a smile. "I am needed here and since I don't want to leave you all alone in the castle, I decided to bring you here with me. Moreover, I don't want any more misunderstanding between us. Given our track record, I'm afraid that something will happen again if I leave you, so I'd better keep you close to me. This is alright with you, right?" he gave her a mischievous grin, letting her know that he was teasing her and taking the sting out of his words, just in case she felt slighted at him referencing all their previous misunderstandings with each other.When Julie just stared at him without answering, Alex craned his head and moved his face closer to hers until his breath was fanni

    Blood suddenly sprayed out of the huge man's body without him realizing until Alex's powerful fist crashed into his face and he was sent flying away from the troops only to drop to the ground not unlike a chunk of huge stone. Following the tremor of Gallas' collapse, there reigned a few seconds of dumbfounded silence from both armies who were watching this awe-inspiring exchange.Watching the fight and being able to follow their moves, Alex's men smiled. "There he goes," Joshua smirked and then lifted his sword as he shouted out at the Dacrian soldiers. "Our prince is the strongest, so don't falter! Kill them all!" he roared, and the Dacrians' morale soared as they too roared along and attacked with an even higher and renewed vigour. Their roar was so loud that the crown prince at the far back heard them and his darkened face went even darker.Leon, the half-blood Alex sent away in one strike, who stayed back to observe was now back. Jumping in front of Alex and blocking him before he

    The half-bloods instinctively stepped back. Their expressions had changed, especially Gallas'. His haughty look was now gone, being replaced by incredulity and shock. He had been prepared to expect many things from this traitorous prince, but this was not one of the possibilities that he had imagined ever happening. At all. Leon who rarely shows any emotions was also showing a wary look on his face and very clearly had his guard up.Their purple eyes had gone bloody red. Time seemed to have come to a standstill and the suffocating air that enveloped them thickened even further. It was as if they were mired in a bog and not only their breathing was being smothered, but the movements of their limbs were also slowed down, like invisible strong chains were weighing them down and pulling them back.The next moment, a flash of something whisked out from the direction of the rubble and struck at one of them. The half-blood called Leon had speedy reflexes and managed to block the unexpected s

    Staring uneasily out the windows, towards the direction of the front line that her eyes could not even see, Julie remained tense long after Luc had dropped her off according to Alex's orders. She somehow felt that the air was heavier and chillier, even though the temperature was the same as last night.Unease and worry laid heavy on her as if there were a boulder sitting on her chest. She remembered those times in her younger years, she and her mother used to feel this way every time her father goes out to war. It was an awful feeling. Like she was holding back her breath the whole time and could only breath again when he finally come back home, alive. And this time, she could obviously feel her anxiety was more intense.Taking a deep breath, Julie gripped the dagger Alex had gifted to her. Tonight, she was not going to do anything but to patiently wait and hope and fervently pray that her husband will be fine and fulfil his promise… that he will be returning to her side. She sighed w

    Someone deliberately cleared his throat so Julie could only push Alex away."Your Highness, it's more than time already. We must depart now." Luc said, his face still managing to remain quite stoic, despite everything that he had seen and heard."Go, I'll be fine." Julie urged her husband as well all the while trying to break free from his hold. Elijah also emerged from the stairs, already holding Julie's cloak and dagger with him."Alright," Alex's hold finally loosened rather reluctantly. His struggle to let go of her was apparent to everyone that were present. "But I need you to kiss me first." Alex demanded Julie boldly, not caring that his men and butler were there to witness how childish he was behaving at the moment.Julie, and the other two vampires could literally hear their jaws dropping to the ground. She glanced at Elijah and Luc and the two suddenly whirled around, turning their backs to them in a bid to afford the couple their privacy – well, whatever privacy could be af

    Shock was clearly etched on Julie's face as Romeo eased away from her and faced Luc. Julie saw how his face had transformed from one that was playful and seductive, into one that was cold and flint-like."Take my wife back to the castle." He ordered in a calm voice and the green eyed blond immediately nodded.Julie reached out and clasped at Alex's coat. Her expression was severe.Seeing the worry in her eyes, Alex bent and whispered to her. "Don't make that face, love. Didn't I promise I'd protect you? I will not let a single unwelcomed person get pass this wall so do not worry, okay? Furthermore, we need to continue what we started but was rudely interrupted… right?" Gavriel teased with a grin, trying to ease Julie's worry.The certainty in his voice made Julie felt secured and that teasing managed to get her to loosen up a little. However, she was not so much worried about herself but more for him. She knew he was strong but… that earlier nightmare… what if her father had allied hi

    Julie's eyes flung open. She was sweating and breathing hard as her wide opened eyes stared fixedly at the ceiling until she managed to get her breathing stabilized. How long had it been since she last had a nightmare? She could not even remember anymore.To the members of the house of Silverado, nightmares were not just some random or normal occurrence. For them, these were taken seriously and were messages of forewarning or signs of things to come.Strangely, it was very rare for the members of the family to ever have nightmares. She heard that there were even some members who had never experienced having nightmares in their lifetime. Julie however had experienced it once, but that was when she was still a child, so she already knew how it felt.Back home, if one of them would ever have a nightmare, they were required to immediately confess everything that they saw to the head of the family, the dragon keeper. This was a rule of the house that must not be broken, and everyone could

    "Julie, stop –" Alex chocked on his saliva as he was incredibly turned on but had to force himself to hold back for her sake.She squeezed him gently and all he could do was groan. His hands that held her, the hands that was supposed to stop her trembled. This was bad. He wanted her so much it was killing him. He didn't want to stop her. The caresses of her delicate hands felt like salvation. He felt like a person who was dying of thirst in the desert and had finally found that saving jug of water – only to have it held at arm's length. It was so close yet so far that he felt himself nearing insanity.Her lashes lifted as her hands continued caressing him and Alex sucked in his breath. Her hair had darkened because of their wetness. She was like a moon goddess that had emerged from some mystical lake."This is…" she opened her lips hesitantly. "What a man will put inside a woman, right?" she asked, shy and innocent. Not knowing that her innocent question was the most potent drug that

    Julie supported her weight on his shoulders and rose to her knees when Alex stilled under her. She was too dazed to realize the primitive hunger dancing in his eyes."Al –" she couldn't even complete his name because Alex suddenly moved and grabbed her. His strong arms wrapped around her waist, lifting her up slightly as he buried his head against her torso. Julie felt his forehead a feverish contrast as to the cool span of her upper body, helping her clear her muddled head a little."Julie… oh, god…" his tone was grave, his eyes were passion-drowsed as he cupped the soft shape of her breast with his one hand. He gently kneaded, squeezed it while his mouth kissed her throat.His hands began to explore her body, on and on, she felt both his light and heavy touches alternately everywhere as if he were determined to leave nothing untouched and unexplored."Alex…" Juliet moaned and gasped and strained at his touches and kisses. The strong hands tracing over every nook and cranny of her bo

    "You're so exquisite, my love." He said, his gaze worshipfully running across every curve and dip of her delectable figure. But he stepped away. "Get into the water first while I undress. It's cold."Even though Julie unusually was not feeling cold at all, she took Alex's hand and let him help her into the tub. She quickly lowered herself until all of her was submerged except her head, in the hopes of hiding her naked body in the water. The water felt too hot on her already feverish skin.Julie could see him undressing from the corner of her eyes, but she did not dare turn that way to look and confirm her thoughts. She instead resolutely fixed her gaze at the fireplace, trying to calm herself from the seemingly growing fire inside of her. What was going with her, was she having a fever? But it did not feel like the fever she normally get…"Wife," his voice pulled her attention back to him and she absentmindedly turned her head towards Alex."Hmmm?
