"I… I can manage now. Thank… thank you… for your help." She replied, stammering. "I can definitely do it on my own now."

"Be careful. If you need help, just call me." He said and when she nodded, he tactfully turned and left the room.

The moment the door was closed, Alex raked his hand through his hair and exhaled shakily while leaning against the bathroom's door, feeling his legs as unsteady as a new-born foal's. His suddenly stiff fingers fumbled with his cloak and yanked it away as if it were causing him to suffocate from heat.

A muffled groan escaped his lips followed by a curt curse. His control was barely hanging on by a thread. When she grabbed his hair and he looked up to see those dazed pair of amber eyes, only the devil knew how much he had to draw out his legendary iron control to stop himself from grabbing her legs and parting them wide for him so he could… he could indulge and ravage her there and then. He was always a man of control when it came to women, treating them casually and with relaxed ease. He was never the type to pounce on a lady like a starved beast but at that moment he was about to do just that. He was more used to having the ladies throw themselves at him than the other way around. This was really an eye-opening experience. He was certain he wouldn't have managed to stop himself if he didn't feel how ice-cold her toes were and saw her bluish lips and the goosebumps all over her legs.

He realized that the longer he was not allowed to touch her, the more he wanted her. He was literally dying – burning up – just to have her.

"Elijah." His voice, deep and dark, echoed out and the bedroom's main door opened. When the butler emerged, he immediately ordered for new sets of clothes while taking off his shirt.

His attention was fully focused on the sounds coming from the bathroom. He had asked Elijah to bring him clothes and decided to change his wet clothes by the bathroom's door because he didn't want to leave even for a moment.

He had just put on a fresh and clean trouser when he heard her soft gasp. Whipping around, Alex grabbed the door handle, pushing it open.

"Julie! What's wrong? I'm comin –"

Julie's eyes were wide like saucers. She was still in the tub, enjoying the hot bath that was finally melting her frozen nerves.

Her face flushed red like cooked shrimp at the sight of him barging into the bathroom, half naked, and also at the fact that she was naked. Gladly, she realized she was immersed in the hot water and the slightly scented and billowy steam produced from the bath covered her sufficiently. "I'm fine. I just dropped the soap, th… that's all." She stammered and Alex forced himself to drag his eyes away from the extremely tempting view and look at the soap lying innocently on the floor.

He approached the tub and silently picked the soap up and handed it back to her. His eyes quickly swept over her before stubbornly locking onto her face and ears slightly reddened.

"I am only not allowed to touch without your permission, Julie… so I'm allowed to look whenever I want." He said, even smirking at her wickedly that Julie couldn't help but drop her jaw in utter surprise.

But then he chuckled in amusement at her dumbfounded reaction and Julie found herself relaxing, suddenly feeling the urge to grab the bar of scented soap back from his hands to chuck it at him for laughing at her. But she just left it as her imagination and took the bar of soap from his hand and looked away shyly.

"Are you certain you don't need any help?" he asked a little hopefully and Julie nodded like a rattle, wanting him to finally leave so she could continue enjoying her hot bath without him in here, the breathing, walking temptation.

"Yes. I'm really doing good, I'll… call you if I need help." She said to make him leave and to her relief (and maybe slight disappointment which she convinced herself must be a mistake), he finally left.

Alex leaned against the door again and took another deep breath. He seemed to be taking more calming and deep breaths since his wife came back with him from the human world. His ears remained vigilant while he finished dressing up.

"Your Highness, if you're that worried, you shouldn't have sent the maids away." Elijah told him through silent conversation when their eyes met.

"She is not comfortable with aliens yet, and… those maids wouldn't know how to handle a human. I'm afraid they'd hurt her before they even realize they did."

    Elijah couldn't deny his reasoning, but he also could not agree with his master offering to assist his wife like a maid! "You might be right, but you can't just offer to take over the job of a maid like that. You're not a bloody maid Your Highness! Please think of your position.""I'm her husband. And that is not an issue. Helping my wife out is my responsibility." His gaze sharpened, causing Elijah to sigh, knowing that it won't be a good idea for him to say more. 'Good Lord,' he could only think inside him."Go prepare something for her to eat." Alex ordered and Elijah immediately moved.A deep sigh escaped Alex's lips as soon as Elijah was gone. Crossing his arms in front of him, he leaned his head back against the door."Julie?" he called out a long while later when he thought that his wife had taken too long."Yes. I'm almost done." He heard her soft voice and he finally pushed himself away from the door. He walked towards the foot of the bed and sat there as he waited for her to

    "The lady's meal is ready, Your Highness." A knock sounded from the door followed by a voice, breaking the heavy silence that followed Alex's intimately intense words.He eased back and looked at her hair before giving a satisfied nod and finally letting the strands glide smoothly over his fingers – missing their texture immediately the second they left his grasp. When he lifted his gaze to the mirror, he saw his wife's face burning red and was as pleased as punch. He found her reaction absolutely adorable, and her lips were finally pink again.Since he had awakened her before daybreak, Alex knew that she must be starving. He had suspected her weakness from earlier until now was mostly caused by starvation. Reason being, last night, as soon as he arrived home, he had dug out from her maids and Elijah that she had not been eating well since he left, and she even skipped her dinner before going to bed last night. He had planned on feeding her but with all the chaos that were occurring,

    After Julie was done with her meal, Elijah brought her around to tour the inside of the castle. Elijah did not bring Julie to venture outside due to the heavy snow. However, Elijah had cut short the tour even before they could have a look at everything, citing the reason that she had to go to bed and rest. The Alien was obviously regarding her as someone so fragile and weak, looking very alert and uneasy with worry the whole time he accompanied her around, telling her to be careful as they were going up or down the stairs as though she would suddenly trip and fall.Julie could not blame him though. She knew that to the Aliens; humans were fragile vases that could be shattered to pieces with just one mistake. For most of the time, this statement would hold true. Compared to them, human life truly was fragile. Even simple accidents could ultimately lead to one's death. But Julie had also seen so many strong humans who go against the norm. Many of them who break the mould and do not conf

    Julie pressed her lips together, seeing that he seemed to be enjoying his little teasing game. But she really wanted to know what this piece of good news was."You're… a tease." Though she complained, she stepped closer to Alex who ended up biting his lower lip again probably to stop himself from chuckling."Closer, wife."She pressed her lips tighter and despite the moment of hesitation, she still obeyed, causing Alex's eyes to lighten up even more.Julie steeled herself as she continued to approach Alex. They were already too close, and their faces were only inches apart! She didn't dare look up at him and just kept her eyes staring straight at his chest while waiting in anticipation. He finally bent over, so close that his lips felt like they lightly brushed past her ear. She knew it didn't, but his cool breath caressed her ear and she couldn't help but feel disoriented. "My wife finally made a move on me."She drew back, looking at him. "What?"He bent again, this time, his breath

    "Let me touch you." The raspy voice that was hot and heavy with want, literally scorched her with the intense heat of his intensions.And Julie could not speak. Her tongue felt swollen, and her mouth seemed to be glued shut. She was transfixed by his glittering eyes that held her so intensely, making her unable to move. He was doing it again, seducing her, hypnotizing her and she could not help but fall helplessly under this deadly but somehow welcoming spell that was killing every one of her will and thoughts and hesitations."Is that too much for me to ask yet?" his voice came out like a pained groan but a moment later, it became even deeper, hoarser, darker and hungrier than ever before. "Then… how about a kiss? Let me kiss you, Julie... just a kiss… I won't touch, I promise."His words, his closeness, his electric gaze, and the erotic waft of his cool breath against her lips turned Julie's mind into mush. She could not even follow the rhythm of her heart anymore. And before she kn

    After the deliciously toe-curling kiss, he eased back a little until their lips were barely touching. The steamy puffs of their breaths mingling as she finally opened her intoxicated eyes. But before his glorious face could register in her blurry gaze, his tongue was buried inside her mouth again. Another deep, raw and spine tingling kiss followed. He continued tasting, sucking, and licking the inside of her mouth as though he could not get enough of her.And as he feasted on her mouth, Julie could not do anything but feel the inexplicable pleasure that was threatening to blot out her consciousness. Something hot and sweet began to swell within her breast and stomach and between her thighs.Another sweet moan escaped from her lips as her trembling hands move on their own and settled lightly against his naked chest. A sound of satisfaction rumbled in Alex's throat and his mouth was suddenly latched onto her jaw. He kissed and nibbled her there and then slowly travelled down the hollow

    The other side of the bed was empty and cold when Julie woke up. She couldn't help but wonder if what happened last night… no last morning was all just a dream. Did he even get any sleep at all? He should have as he was asleep before her. Did he wake up after sleeping for just a couple of hours?Julie shook her head and hastily climbed off the bed as the memories of their kiss began to invade her mind again. Elijah had knocked on her door after Julie was done with her private matters and he escorted her out of her room.It was sunset and her meal was prepared at the castle's terrace. The snow had stopped falling but everything was still covered in white, and the venue of her meal was unexpectedly quite regal. She was going to eat on a beautiful terrace overlooking the city accompanied by the lovely sunset.She still could not get used to the fact that in this place, their breakfast was not after sunrise but at sunset. Elijah had pleaded to her yesterday to follow the Aliens' sleep rou

    "The late empress hid her son in such a place because she knew that the emperor would kill His Highness the moment he sees his appearance. That's why nobody had ever seen His Highness for the first 16 years of his life except the late empress herself," Elijah continued. "When the late empress revealed the existence of Prince Alex, the imperial palace was shaken since they never thought the empress had ever conceived the emperor's child. That time, Prince Alex's eyes were scarlet red, and his hair was dark brown. Nobody knew that the late empress had purposely starved His Highness so his eyes could remain red all the time and had dyed his hair as well. She had told everyone the reason why she had hidden His Highness' existence for so many years was due to the prince's unusual red eyes and she was just trying to protect her child from any harm.Everyone knew that the empress and the emperor's relationship was not one that was on good terms with each other as the emperor blatantly showed

    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?
