Vanessa's POV

I sucked in my breath and fell backwards on the bed. He didn't budge from where he was kneeling.

"Vanessa?" He called but I didn't respond.

650 years old. I was predestined to be the Queen of a 650 year old King. Someone who even seniored my great great great grand parents. Someone who has lived six and a half centuries.

"Vanessa you're scaring me". He said and I felt the fear in his voice.

"Please just give me some minutes to absorb this information". I said, placing my right palm on my forehead.

After a while, I sat upright and looked at him.

"Urano". I said and looked into his eyes. They were full of hope.

650 years. Could he even father a child? As if he read my thoughts, he spoke.

"I can still perform agilely in all ramifications of that is your fear". He said and a blush crept up my cheeks.

"What's that on your cheeks? Why is it red? Are you hurting?" He asked in concern, touching my cheeks.

I laughed. He didn't know what a b

She was nowhere to be found. He searched everywhere for her but couldn't find her. Tired, he tried opening the locket but couldn't so he chose to read the letter first. I remember it word for word. I eat it everyday alongside dad. It said: ‘Dear Lucas, everyday I spent with you were the happiest days of my life. I never thought true love felt this way. I'm happy Vanessa came to us.

How could she be so bold to tell angry, veryme she didn't love me? I was angry. All my genes wanted out of which I couldn't allow happen. It wasn't safe so I let my dragon represent them instead."Urano! Let me go". She screamed.‘Just wait till I let you go’. I snapped angrily in my head.It was no wonder she knew it was me. She had seen my dragon's eyes while I was in human form, before I transformed. I was aware my dragon would frighten her and it was exactly what I wanted. She needed to fear me like everyone else.When I got to where I wanted, I let go of her and she screamed as she toppled downwards to the ground."Urano!!! I'll kill you after this". She screamed.‘Not if you die first’. I thought.I knew where I dropped her. One of my favorite springs. I made sure to drop her where I knew the water was shallow just in

How long have I been asleep?I turned around to find Dracula. His head lay on the bed beside me, his eyes shut tight. Soft snores emanated from him. His hair, packed all up, fell to his side. His crown was not on his head.I sighed as the memories came rushing to me, from when I had ran away from our wedding to how I met with the Werewolf Queen and a human who turned out to be the Queen Supreme. Down to when we were captured and taken to the King Supreme and how Dracula had bit me in the garden and to when I woke up. The last was before I slept, when I rejected him.I sighed deeply and looked away from him. One of the hardest things to do was to reject a soulmate, especially after blood exchange. The rejected may die if not strong enough. I couldn't stay with him any longer.What if Vanessa had not come to Supreme? What if she

She cried, while wiggling up and down in the water."Make me". I taunted her with a smirk on my face."Urano I'll kick you where the sun doesn't shine". She cried, gasping for breath."Ooo!" I said enthusiastically."If you're kicking me with your tongue, I got no problem". I teased, the smirk never leaving my face.She turned beet root red in embarrassment."It sounds like a good idea right?" She covered her face and I chuckled, taking that opportunity to tickle her more.She laughed so hard the heavens themselves smiled. The things her laughter did to me were amazing."Urano.....let.....me....go". She said in between laughs. She was gasping for breath already."On one condition only". I said and she looked at me weirdly while gasping for breath."What condition?""You have to promise to do whatever I ask". She crossed her arms a

I waited patiently for her inside the chambers, to finish having her bath, so I could have mine too and then we'll have dinner.She emerged minutes later, a towel wrapped around her breast. She paused by the door, her legs crossed.Was she trying to seduce me?Well, sorry Vanessa but I'm the one playing the game here. You don't get to tease me with your body. I get to tease you whenever and however I want.I got up from the bed shirtless. I saw her eyes dart towards my chest. She inhaled sharply and looked up at me, gulping before managing to regain composure.I smirked at her and walked towards her. My lips were imprinted on her neck in beautiful red hickeys.

It's not easy with me*."You're the one making it hard for yourself. You don't have to think so much about whether or not to let me go. I told you your opinion doesn't matter. I'm leaving".

Diana's blush couldn't be hidden.It seemed like forever since she got any compliment save for earlier in the morning when the Vampire King had complimented her. That, she didn't take into consideration as he was probably doing it for her to stay. She doubted the possibility of him ever changing. He was a cruel and wicked man. It saddened her."Hey honey are you okay?" Vanessa was in front of her on noticing the frown that etched Diana's features."Do you really go about calling people names meant for couples in the human world?" Diana chuckled slowly and she caught the Queen rolling her eyes."That's a very un-queenlike behavior". She pointed out."What?" Vanessa didn't even understand what the young lady in front of her was saying."What you did to your eyes I mean". She pointed at Vanessa's eyes.

Where was he? I rushed into the bathroom, he wasn't there. Frustrated, I went to the window."Looking for me my love?" His breath fanned my ear, his body dangerously close to mine.I turned around and looked into his eyes. At that moment, the world was complete, it made absolute total sense."Urano." I sealed our lips.Time stopped. The earth seized to spin. It was just us, a million galaxies revolving around as our lips molded into each other. After what felt like eternity, we stopped and stared into each other's eyes. Our breaths coming out short."Did you miss me that much?" "Are you kidding?? I could hardly breathe without you." He chuckled deeply." You left without telling me." I pouted." But I drop....." I cut him off."A note telling me to come downstairs for breakfast not one telli

My head didn't hurt as much as it did last night and I certainly didn't feel Star's pain as much as I did last night. Hell! It was barely there. Just a tiny piece of it flowing in the wind.I searched around, Urano was not in the room. Not even the bathroom, not the balcony. There was a note on the table in the living room.' Come to the dinning room for breakfast when you're up. Love, Urano.'"Ahh. So he left me in bed that early." I made my way to the bathroom to have a shower. The water was warm. Urano had prepared another bath for me. The scent was lavender. Smiling, I stepped into the bath tub, allowing myself soak in the water.Random thoughts began flowing into my head at the thought of Star. How was my world? How was my father? Did he tell the police I'm missing? Did he dismiss it as a runaway attempt? Ho

He looked at his sister as though a thousand machines were working in his head. Then he turned to look at me and I turned to stare at his sister. He got the information and touched his sister on the shoulder."Star". She was unmoved."Star rise". She didn't move.He turned to stare at me and we both nodded in understanding.I touched her on the shoulder and she looked up."Star rise".And she rose. She blinked and just like that, it seemed she was out of her trance."Weeeeeeeeeeeee!!!"She was on me and I was tackled to the ground. My back collided with the hard ground as well as my head. Pain seared through and I winced a bit too loudly, my eyes shut tightly.I felt the weight being lifted from me and a loud thud at the other side of the room. I opened my eyes to find Star across the room. Her left knee was on the grou

    Location: Supreme Royal Castle, Supreme Realm"You never told me you had a sister". Vanessa had questioned the moment they returned to the castle."That's because I was too excited about finding you and I've not heard from her in a while". Urano's strides were really long as he approached the vault."Why's that?". He turned to face her."She's in the human world".Vanessa paused in her tracks but seeing Urano was now farther away from her, she resumed her walk, almost running to catch up with him."Your sister is in the human world?" She was shocked. She thought Supremites weren't allowed to go into her world.Urano turned around on hearing her footsteps, struggling to catch up with his, and walked back to her."Yes".He swept her off her feet and carried her bridal style."I can walk yunno". She rolled her eyes."You were struggling to catch up with me. I did your legs a favor but it seems your mouth doesn't appreciate it". He looked down at her with a smirk."Should I let you down?"

Vanessa whispered into the night, leaning her head on the long and scaly neck of Urano's dragon.He dived and slowly, the waterfall came in sight. He went low, allowing his long talons glide on the water before landing with a heavy thud on the bank.Vanessa slid down and he turned his large head to face her."Thank you".She told a bold step and grabbed his head. He nuzzled close to her, tickling her with his breath."You better not open your mouth to speak, lest you breathe fire on me. Wait till you get back to your human form". She chuckled and he hummed lowly as she rubbed the top of his head."Stop before you breathe fire". She laughed and stepped backwards and he stared at her with sad eyes."No way Urano!" She shook her head. "No more cuddles with a dragon. Now shift!"He grunted in disapproval but shifted nonetheless."Urano!" She screamed when she realized he was naked.She turned, backing him in the speed of light. She
