Cedric reached for her hand as they headed to the breakfast room. The room wasn’t lit. The only light that came from was a candle and a few rays of sun seeping from the thick curtain. She stopped when a girl was stomping her feet while walking and she cursed while the man behind her laughed. “You are so adorable, my love,” Dominick said. She froze upon meeting the girl’s tantalizing oceanic eyes. Memories quickly flashback as she remembers the girl in her past with the same eyes and the same face. “Camille.” She mumbled as the girl tilted her head. “Hi, I’m Bella.” The girl approached her and extended her hand. She hesitated to reach her and her mate was behind her, bulky with that dark aura emanating from him. “My name’s Lavinia.” She shook Bella’s hand briefly and she quickly stepped out as Cedric grinned and placed his hand over Lavinia. “Hey, back out Dominick. My mate’s not gonna hurt yours.” Bella turned to him. “What are you worried about?” She rolled her eyes.
Upon arriving back in the main castle, she quickly hopped off the Land Rover. Then, he walked around quickly and reached for her hand as they walked back into the castle. “Hey! The boys are asking to play Polo.” Ciel said, wearing a polo shirt and horse riding boots. “Come on, you should join.” Dominick looked at his mate who sighed. “Let’s play for an hour, then we can go back quickly. Also, I’ll bring you to a new place.” “You’ll love it!” Ciel exclaimed at her. “Let me choose a dress for you to wear.” “I am not going to wear the same outfit as yours?” She asked. “I don’t think you have that in your closet.” He said and patted her head. “Let’s just find you something else.” He threw his arms over her shoulder and kissed her temple. Do you want to ride with the horses?” “Yes, of course. So what would I do there? Just sit pretty and watch? That’s the most boring thing I imagine.” He scooped her in a swoop and tossed her over his shoulder. She squirmed as he continued
One thing that Dominick wanted to know was who wanted to kill him. Killing his mate is equal to killing him. Since his mate is an assassin, and she looks fragile, they would think that she’ll be an easy target. He puts all of the gears on her but she doesn't want to wear the helmet as she rather wears a cap. “Ride with me.” He whispered and reached for her hand. “I’ll maneuver the horse while you use the mallet. But don’t try to hit them. Okay?” “Hmm,” She nodded as he fixed her cap. He reached her cheeks. “I’m serious, Bella.” “Why would I hit them? Unless they annoy me.” “You can hit Ciel.” Ciel frowned as he crossed his arms. “No, Ciel is my friend.” She smirked as Dominick frowned. Dominick explained to her about the rules of the games. He then lifted her to the horse as she held on to the saddle while he climbed over behind her. Sharing the same saddle. It was big enough for two. She held the saddle as Ciel crossed his arms. “Bella,” He called. “Hi, Ciel.
The King once again opened the door to his friends. Group of noble youngsters from ages 20 to 30. The Featheringtons, the Cosmos, and even the boys from their play. “Big dinner is served,” Dominick said while he was holding her hand. They all headed to the great room where they usually gathered with a lot of things to do. A video game and even a table pool. “I got something for you.” He whispered as he cocked his head to the stairs to their chambers. “What is it?” She asked. She expected that it would be rare jewelry or whatnot. She’s not thrilled at all but he grinned. He took her to their room as he went to his walk-in closet. He then took out the music box from the drawer and handed it to her. “It’s yours, right? I fixed it?” She stood like a statue while staring down at it. He extended it further for her to take but she didn’t take it. “Love,” He called. “Aren’t you happy?” “Why would I be happy?” She mumbled. Her eyes glued on it. “Why not?” He reached for her hand
Dominick frowned upon hearing from the Butler that their cook was murdered just a few minutes after he had prepared all of the food. He quickly went to the dining hall to see his beloved who was currently chatting with Lavinia. “Bella,” He called as he approached her. “Let’s go back to our room.” He said as he looked at Cedric who was holding a flask. “But we haven’t eaten properly.” She mumbled. “Your food will be delivered later.” He pulled her waist. “Everyone, I apologize that our little party will end a little early.” “We understand.” Lord Cosmos said. “We are all safe thanks to Prince Cedric.” “My apologies once again,” Dominick said as the Butlers gestured to the guests. Ciel told them why they closed the castle. It’s because of the multiple assassinations of Dominick. They understood it well, but the real reason why they were here was because of the rumored mate that was being kept. “What’s happening?” Lavinia asked Cedric who lowered his head at her and whispered
Cedric watched as Bella sliced her meat and placed the half over her mate’s plate. He tilted his head. Doesn’t Bella like the steak?“Oh, baby.” Dominick grinned. “You don’t have to do that?” He amusingly watched her slice her steak into pieces. “Are you guilty of something?” “Yes, I didn’t die.” She said as she started eating her steak. “And why did you have to feed me more?” “I’m on diet.” She said as Dominick grinned. “It was very clear from her side that she wanted you to recover as soon as possible.” Cedric teased as she glared at him. Lavinia watched as Bella tried to kick Cedric under the table. She seemed to be struggling while Cedric was keeping that smiley face. She then looked outside to see the mountains to the castle close to it. The castle had lights and somehow, there were lights coming from another place. The lights immediately went off as few more were hiking toward it, probably the guards that were sent. After their dinner, Paxton quickly excused himself and th
They were horrified. Seeing a dead body, her neck was a mess yet there were no blood traces on the floor. One coffin was open. The one with a monk’s seal and chains. But Dominick already realized this. The lady seeking the key seemed to be part of this. Or were the assassins after him also part of this? First, how did they know that the vampire’s tombs were in his land? It was part of the pact made between vampires and lycans. That’s why he’s friends with Cedric. “This is what Levi mentioned about.” “There’s only one,” Dominick said as he squatted and checked the molded date that was carved on the stone. “Notorious killer. We need to find this guy as soon as possible before it wreaks havoc. This guy also kills werewolves.” Cedric crossed his arms and pulled out his phone. “I will contact my grandfather as soon as possible.” “Let’s check further if there were other open tombs,” Dominick told his men as they nodded. Then, Paxton sighed and fixed his glasses. “Bro, is it pos
Bellatrix was frozen as the girl grabbed her hand and quickly took her away. “Wait,” She caught up but the girl pulled her away from others who could hear them. She hushed her as she looked up at her. “You’ve grown.” The girl said as Bella finally squared down to level down with her. The longing in her eyes was there. She even reached her face and caressed her cheeks. “I remember the time when I brushed your hair and braided it.” Bellatrix held her small hand and continued to stare at her eyes. “But we must leave.” She said, “Bella, we must live. They killed our family.” Bella froze upon hearing it from her. “I thought you were dead when I saw you suffering from your mate’s death… but why are you here? Why are you here Bella?” “Sister?” She asked. “Yes, it’s me. Monique.” She whispered. “But are you Ciel’s mate? If you died, why hasn’t he felt it?” Bella asked. She shook her head, not going to say a thing. “Nique… please tell me.” Monique pressed her forefinger to
