Violet smiled at King Azure who had cracked a joke. She along with her sisters was having lunch with the king. So many days had passed and they'd gotten comfortable in the palace amidst the vampires. On the command of Lennox, the girls were shifted to a double room. There was a huge room with a king-sized bed in the middle and then within that room, there was a door to another room with two single beds and that room belonged to Ella and Emily. She had thanked King Azure for this but he said Lennox was behind that gesture. The girls were free to roam the palace. The guards even escorted them out to the marketplace. They were living freely and true to Lennox's words. He didn't show up in front of her ever again to the point she thought he didn't live in the palace anymore. Dana told her otherwise. She had said that she thought the prince had learned Violet's routine and avoided her carefully. Violet didn't say anything about that. She was glad. Most importantly she was surprised tha
"What?""We asked for your permission but you planned everything from decorations to gifts and everything in a span of a few seconds. You like her. Don't you?" Ella narrowed her eyes at him. "Yeah," He breathed. Both the girls paused as they blinked at him dumbfounded. "What?" They both shrieked in shock as astonishment sparkled in their big blue eyes. "I do like your sister. A lot," He clicked his tongue before smirking and gauging their reactions. They were gobsmacked by his confession as he tried to suppress his smile. He expected such a reaction but their comical faces were insane. He likes it. "Like in a way she's a good person," Ella said after regaining her composure while Emily still blinked at him, surprised. Her cheeks tinted red, the prince of vampires confessed his feelings for her sister. A prince for a princess. "No, like as in, I'm interested in her," He mused and their eyes broadened once again. "How dare you!""So romantic."Ella rumbled darkly while Emily s
It was absurd of her to even think that they'd be mates. He was a vampire. The chances of him being her fated mate were zero to none. But the fact that he was hoping to be her mate did something to her heart. He wants her to be his mate and he also wants to marry her. If it was just him wanting to marry her because he likes her. She might've agreed rather happily but he was doing it for his people. Almost like a sacrifice. She didn't want that. She wants to be loved and cherished. Her sisters gave her her gifts as she hugged them. Lennox didn't give her any present but then again the whole surprise was a present in itself and those flowers were also present. Emily yawned. Holding Ella and Emily's hand, Violet faced Lennox. "Um, thank you for everything." She said, Lennox winked at her, startling her. He didn't act like a prince one bit. This man was surprising. Passing him a small smile she walked away with Dana right behind her while Lennox couldn't stop staring at her ret
Violet was fast asleep. The door to her room flung open and a man stood at the doorway, peering inside at the woman lying on the bed defenceless. The hair at the back stood up and her eyes flew open. Her breath hitched upon seeing a man looming at the doorway, she sat upright scooting back before stumbling out of the bed. Her eyes were solely fixed on the man as she wondered where the guards were. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. I was just checking if you guys were alright because there was no guard on duty on the floor.""Lennox...."It was him. She squinted her eyes and he eased her scrutiny by stepping further into the room out of the shadows. Her heart stopped upon seeing him coated in blood. She was frozen for a brief second before pain kicked in. She scrambled to his side. "What happened? Are we under attack or something?" The fear in her voice gave of the trauma of how she escaped her palace and what she went through there. "No, we are safe. You're safe. And this
Her eyes glided over to the ink on his skin, starting from his neck and spreading like a canvas on his shoulder and arm. The patterns were so beautiful and captivating. "You like them?""Yeah," It left her lips before she could stop it, so to hide her embarrassment she kept her gaze fixed on his chest. Violet gulped, as she wiped all the blood away. She could see his muscles, the strong shoulders, that broad sturdy chest, and those Greek God-like abs followed by a very prominent V line, she forced her eyes to stay rooted on his chest. He had such a captivating physique. "It must've hurt a lot?""Not really.""Violet...""Yes," She was almost breathless. His proximity was doing things to her that she couldn't control, the sensations so foreign to her body. Her stomach was quivering and she wondered why. "I want to kiss you," He rasped and her eyes snapped up meeting his gaze. Her lips parted, too stunned to speak nor did he let her, his lips came crashing down on hers with such fo
Violet was strolling in the garden. A week had passed since she treated his wounds and they slept on the same bed while he cuddled the life out of her. When she woke up in the morning she was in her room. He kept his promise. King Azure had informed her about the situation back in her kingdom. No one was aware that Violet and her sisters were alive except for Hunter. So people were rebelling. For now, the vampires had kept the castle safe and no one could claim the throne. They presumed that vampires would take over and that was why they were being hostile and planning a war against the vampire kingdom. The king didn't say anything apart from that, it sounded like he was informing her about the situation of her kingdom but she was intelligent enough to know the meaning behind all this. He wanted her to quickly decide everything before the bloodshed and massacre. The turmoil in her heart was chaotic and messy but she had eventually come to a decision. It was hard for her but she kne
Her lips wobbled and she was frozen like ice. Her mind went blank and her heartbeat accelerated to an abnormal pace. Lennox's head snapped at her and her breath hitched upon witnessing the deadly blank look in his eyes. The way he was looking at her had her heart churning in her ribcage. He was waiting for her to confirm what the man had just said. She was scared, terrified out of her wits, not knowing what to say. "My mate!" The man roared again, fearless. Her eyes snapped to the man as she forced herself not to step back. "Mate," It was a mere whisper but Lennox heard it and that man read her lips. "Princess! You're alive." That man rumbled. Her throat clogged up. He even knew she was a princess. "You're my mate," He repeated as if he couldn't believe it. A stone-like obstruction in her throat left her with difficulty in breathing. Her shivering gaze fell on the man standing close to her and her heart coiled in fear seeing that deadly look in his eyes. There was only one thin
Violet was escorted to the dungeons by Lennox. He was right beside her as Dana walked behind them. Violet didn't want Lennox to be there. She wouldn't be able to talk if he stayed there but she had a feeling if she told him to leave her alone with her mate, he might not let her meet him at all. She noticed that all the rogues from last night were kept in separate dungeons. When Lennox escorted her to the basement she was surprised to find there was a huge jail below because she thought he kept his captives at the warehouse. The closer she got to her mate, his scent got stronger. She could feel that he was near. Violet was scared. She was never the type to cause someone pain but today she might hurt someone and that person was her mate. The one moon Goddess chose for her. They came to a halt in front of silver bars. Her mate was on the other side. His eyes snapped up but he didn't say anything nor did he move. His gaze flickered between Lennox and Violet before they solely set on h
