>>Maya “And that’s how after a long wait, Quincey and I got married and became the Queen and King of the dark realm.” Nena finished her long love story, “We got married in the human world. It was a small event with very few close guests.” She smiled, “And yes, I invited my three fake boyfriends too.” She took a deep breath, “That was the last I saw of them.” She grinned, “And then we moved to the Vampire capital and years passed by.” “Woah…” I was shocked, “That was a lot to take in.”I definitely didn't think you’d turn out to be such a manipulative person.” It was unbelievable really. She chuckled, “Everything is allowed in love and war Ma,” She had a mischievous look on her face, “And look at us, we were two orphans whose parents were killed unjustly.” Her smile turned a little sad, “And now we’re Queens.” I smiled back, “I guess fate isn’t that bad.” She shrugged, “I’m happy now so I guess.” She smiled, “My time with Quincey has been amazing!” “How much more time before you gi
Sometimes the things you hate the most can turn into something you love the most.Things seem like they might never work out.Everything seems to be taking a turn for the worstButWhen nothing is going your way, you have to find a way to turn things around.To struggle for the things you want.For the things, that really matter.***>>MayaI stood outside the university gate staring at the building in disbelief. I still don’t know how I got in. I mean I’ve been here for a year now and it might be weird that I still think about it but in my life rarely anything has gone my way.Taking a deep breath I walk in. My pace slows down as I begin to look around in search of a certain person.My eyes darted everywhere but I couldn’t spot him. Strange, he’s always here waiting around the benches.I stop so that I could get a better view but exactly at that second someone wraps his arms around me from the back and twirls me around.After getting me a single but powerful spin the person put me d
>> YohanThe day was stressful as usual. Running a company can be very hard at times. Especially when you’ve taken over not too long ago.At this point in the night, I’m usually beat, so the only thing on my mind is my bed. After taking a shower I crashed on my bed and looked at my phone.Not a single text from my troublemaker brother.I threw the phone on the other side of the bed. I told him not to get in trouble and so far he hasn’t. It’s fine if he doesn’t contact me. It’s not like we’re close anyway.Even though I was beat it took me some time to fall asleep.Five minutes in and a loud ringing woke me up.Who the fuck!I growled as I looked at my phone ringing. I should have put it on silent.I snatched it up and looked at the caller Id.Ruda.Then I looked at the time.1 amI’m going to kill this brat if it isn’t important.I swiped the answer icon.“What?” “...Um…” He seemed a bit hesitant.“Speak.”“Can you please bail me out? I’m in the police station.”“...” It took me a
>> MayaI reached my dorm and shut the door behind me while panting like a dog.Slowly I slipped down against the door, my heart pounding in my chest. I gulped down my own saliva in an attempt to calm my dry throat.Obviously, at this point in the night, I was not going to find any bus and I had no money to spare for a taxi or uber so I ran all the way back.I’m out of breath and out of strength but! I touched my lips with trembling hands.The feeling was still there.That sense of desire.Those lips against mine. The feeling of wanting more.That feeling of bliss and attraction.It drew me in so much that I would have gone further.I shuddered and shook my head.I can’t!No!Not me.The image of that beautiful man flashed before my eyes again.How can someone be so beautiful?He had white hair but it looked so natural on him like that’s how he was born. His eyes felt so sharp but when he looked at me it was as if they were the kindest ones.I shook my head again and looked at my righ
>>MayaMy stomach growled while I stood outside a cafe and stared at the desserts on display. Then I looked at my purse.No money for luxury.I closed my eyes in frustration.Hell!I only have enough for one meal a day!God! Why is this happening to me? I began to walk towards my current lodging.It’s all because the university decided to cancel dorm scholarships… At least I got free breakfast and dinner there. I only had to worry about one meal.I sighed when my stomach growled again. Going from three meals a day to just one can be cruel huh? Very very cruel.I kept walking till I reached a fruit stall.The owner was a middle aged female. She noticed the drool coming down my mouth while I was staring at those shiny red apples. It was as if they were glossed to appear more appealing.I didn’t notice she had seen me ogling the fruits until she picked one and presented one to me.“Want one?”I stared at it for a second, almost tempted to take it but then I shook my head.“No. I’m not h
>>Maya“Order whatever you want,” Yohan said while he sat across from me on the chair.After hearing my obnoxiously loud growling he held my hand and brought me here, to a nearby restaurant. He must have felt a great deal of sympathy for me. I mean he caught me stealing and even found out how hungry I was. Why else would he bring me here? I know I last ate yesterday morning but this stupid stomach of mine! It could have waited a few more seconds until he was gone to honk like a warship.I looked at him while he was looking at the menu placed on the table, unamused. His cheek was resting in the palm of his hand while his elbow was right next to the menu on the table surface. With his other hand he flipped through the pages.I noticed he was wearing an earring on his right earlobe. It was a crescent moon shaped earring in black color. It especially suited him since all of his features were rather pale, from his hair to his skin.I think he noticed me staring because he looked up from
>> YohanAs the sun began to set I parked my car near a cafe and walked towards the forest that was about 2 km away from there.My day was supposed to be normal but that unexpectedly changed when I met my mate. Although the circumstances were a bit weird, but because of that I got to spend time with her and take her to lunch.I grinned.I also received a nice kiss. I scratched my cheek. I only joked with her when I said that but she gave me one of her own accord. It means she started to like me. Right?I began to jog towards the forest. I was so excited that even my inner wolf wanted to come out and run around in glee.As I was nearing my destination I thought about my mate again. She was lovely. So beautiful. Everything about her drew me in and even though it’s hard containing myself around her, I’m glad I do.She’s human and unlike us werewolves she doesn’t have the outburst of emotions as soon as we meet but still the attraction is there.I don’t want to rush things with her but I
>> MayaI stood in the living room of his house confused as hell.How did he find me? I made sure to go back late so no one would ever notice.I glanced at him. He was carrying my stuff inside. All my stuff from the tent.I don’t know why but he was angry when he saw me there in the tent and he still seemed mad.I had no idea what to do while I stood there fiddling with my clothes as he brought my things in trips from the car. I didn’t have much anyway so it was actually no trouble loading everything in the car.I mean, think about it. What can I keep in a tent?A few clothes, some books.That’s all.After he was done bringing in the things he walked into the living room and stopped about a meter right in front of me while I looked at the ground.“So.” He started, “How much did you lie about today?”“I-” I sort of knew there was going to be no escape but I still wanted to try, “I didn’t exactly lie…”He folded his arms, “Mmmhmm.” His tone was unamused. It was as if he knew that I was

>>Quincy“What if some other Vampire tries to harm her?” I asked the king, my father and Luci. We four were present in the King’s audience chamber and we're going through some stuff, “There is always a chance someone could try something because she’s still a human. It’s going to take time for her blood mate powers to show.” I was making a point here, solely for Nena’s sake. Still being a man who has claim to the throne meant there was a chance someone might disagree of Nena and try to harm her.“Boy, the thing is, even if you revoke all your rights officially, there is still a chance it might happen.” The king made his point, “Because no matter what, you can’t fight the blood that runs in your veins.” He was right. No matter what effort I did here, it won’t change the fact that I was part of the royal bloodline. I sighed and looked down in defeat. What now? If not this, then what can I do?The king cleared his throat and made me look at him again, “Well you just need to be in a posi
>>Quincey“So none of you ever liked her?” I asked the boys while we all sat in the lounge of my house. I was sitting on one side and the three of them were side by side on the other.“Nope,” They all replied as they shook their heads in unison.“You want me to believe that?” I had my arms folded.“We only did it because she was helping us out. It was mutual help.” Chris said, “We had a deal between ourselves.”“Helping you guys out?” “She’s a pretend girlfriend for us because women don’t stop chasing rich men, especially when they’re single.” Sam said, “Nena is the perfect person for that role since she beats the shit out of people too.”I raised my brows as I frowned. It made sense, there were a number of times she came home and I could tell right away she had a fight with someone. So this was the reason why.“Don’t worry,” Chris said after he noticed the visible discontent on my face, “We just need her for another semester and then our deal ends.” He smiled, “We really don’t have
>>NenaThe world started getting blurred. Like a dancing mirage.The dark magic began to consume me and I started seeing red. A stream of liquid started coming out of my eyes that was not water.AH…No wonder Quincey told me I’d never survive here. I feel like I’m being consumed. It’s like there is a furnace in my body that’s steadily heating up and it’ll keep heating up till there is nothing left of me. Till all of me is burned and not even my soul survives.I felt like I was fading away with the increasing pain, “Nena!!” A voice reached me, “Nena!” I looked to my side and saw Quincey running towards me. He slid down next to me and brought me into his embrace, “What the hell are you doing here!!!” He yelled at me, “Why the hell aren’t you doing anything??” He looked at his father and uncle.“She refused to leave.” Daddy said, “I tried.” He raised his hands up in defense, “I really did.”The king nodded, “She’s too stubborn.” He said, “This is why we sent Luci to get you.”Wow, these
>>Nena“What happened to the previous one?” I was very curious now even though my head was starting to hurt, “Who was that human?”The king looked at Alister and I followed his gaze. Alister hesitated a little, then sighed, “It happened two hundred years ago,” He started a story, “Two hundred years back humans were still thinking of us as monsters.” He nodded sadly, “And Quincey grew fond of a human that once helped him but that same human killed herself when she found out what she got caught up in.”“What?” I shook my head, “What happened?”The two royal bloods looked at each other, “Let me tell you a short story about how Quincey grew a little distant from relationships.” Alister gestured to Luci to do something and Luci left while Alister came and sat down in front of me.“Are you alright?” He asked me.I shook my head, “I feel like a fever is rising…”“It’ll get worse from here.” Alister patted my head, “So I’ll give you the major details of what happened.”“Alright,” I nodded.He
>>NenaThe dark continent gave the vibe of a dark fantasy setting. It was clearly daylight but the sky was covered with dark clouds continuously and forever so no sun rays made it down to the land.The roads were old, looked like the ones the Romans made centuries ago but all the houses were big, like mansions. The market place was busy but not bustling. It looked like there were a limited number of people there.“I thought there would be more people here.” I asked Luci while he and I walked towards the Palace.“Many vampires go to the human world nowadays.” The Palace was in view, “The human realm has a lot of entertainment after all.”“Why not just bring it here?” I asked.“The magic realm doesn’t allow it.” I started seeing some royal guards.“It doesn’t allow it?”“Even if you try to bring it here, the portal which we cross through throws it out before you enter the magic space.”“Why though?”“To preserve the magic.”“Does technology ruin it or something?”“I guess you can say th
>>Quincey“Quincey stop!!” Luci hugged me from behind frantically to stop me, “Humans can’t take magic this strong!!” He head butted my back, “Idiot! What if someone dies?” His words made me freeze and he loosened up, “What if Nena dies?” He moved to look at my face that was filled with horror.My chest tightened and my brain went blank for a moment.No!! I looked at Nena who was unconscious on the floor.Oh hell…I ran to her, “Hey,” I embraced her in my arms, “Hey wake up,” I shook her a little but she was blacked out. Luci came and sat beside me, “Nena…?” I felt like my world was falling apart, “Nena, are you okay?” There was no response. Her body seemed lifeless with no reaction at all.Shit…Oh shit!!“Nena!” I check her temperature but my body is already cold. I couldn’t tell if she was okay like that or not because to me, a fresh corpse is warm too.Damnit!!I had never been so nervous in my life. I felt so shattered, so broken and so ashamed! What have I done? This is my faul
>>NenaSam stood his ground, “You got no say in this.” He said, “This is her decision.” He looked at me and all the attention was on me all of the sudden.Oh shit!Having so many eyes on me all of the sudden made me flinch but I got myself under control..I rolled my eyes and looked at Chris, “Where’s the food?”He was shaken up by what was happening but still managed to answer me, “It’ll be here soon.” He said, “Let’s set the table up.”“Sure,” I stood up and went to grab Nathan and Sam’s hand to get them away from Quincey. Luci, on the other hand, walked over to Quincy to calm him down.They exchanged a few words and a few times in between they glanced at me while my boy grabbed the cutlery to put on the table.>>SamI took a deep breath and looked at Quincey who was consciously glaring at me.This won’t do.I walked over to him while he sat in the lounge and folded my arms as I stood in front of him.“Don’t look at me like that.” He raised his head to glare at me some more and I ro
>>NenaLuciel should be doing what he was asked.I hope it riles Quincey enough for him to take action. I hope he does a good job.I was sitting at the dinner table at Chris’s apartment. He lives independently that’s why we had ordered out and our pizza was going to be here anytime now.“What do you think?” Chris brought the plates and glasses, “About Luciel?” He placed the things on the table and sat down on the chair in front of me.“I don’t know,” I had my arms folded, “I just got to know him but,” There was something bothering me, “I feel like there is more to him than he shows.” I looked at Chris, “Get what I mean?”“You’re saying he’s hiding behind a fool’s mask?” He raised his brows at me.I nodded, “Yea,” I looked around aimlessly, “But it seems like he’s doing that for no deeper meaning.” I looked back at Chris, “Maybe just for fun?”“Mmhmm,” He looked at his phone when he received a text, “For now, let’s hope he does a good job.”“I feel like he will.” I leaned on the table.
