"I told him that I might take one or two." Raziel recounted his meeting with his father to her."Oh, 'might'. You are not certain.""You'd be surprised." Raziel said with a smirk."I don't believe it." Luciana argued, her gaze narrowed at him."You don't want me to get married?" Raziel raised a brow teasingly at her."That's not in my place to decide, but I don't believe you will be getting married. You must have some ace up your sleeve.""I'm with her. Knowing you, you would play a trick on them again." Lorenzo added, and Raziel only smiled."We will see."*****The next morning, Luciana woke up early to go find Raziel. Strangely she did not have her nightmares that night and she would have loved to sleep more, but Raziel offered to help her find her sister, and she didn't want the opportunity to slip off her finRelated chapters
Bound by Blood Meeting with the princess
Raziel got water for Luciana to rinse her mouth and wash her face. They then went out.Luciana insisted that they visit Lord Kruger's mansion. She had made sure to bring along with her her arrows and bow, the only weapon she knew how to use.Raziel not wanting to turn her down, agreed. He too wanted to meet this infamous Lord that had killed her family.They entered one of the town's carriage that would lead them to Lord Kruger's mansion. The coachman was going to wait for the carriage to be full, but Raziel insisted that he took only the both of them, and paid for the empty seats."How do you feel now Luciana?"She shook her head. "I don't know. Sometimes I feel it is not true, and that I will see them one day. It is too cruel to be real.""I understand you." He said to her, and she smiled sadly.When they got to Kruger's mansions, they saw guards stationed all around his gate.Raziel held Luciana's hand and walked
Bound by Blood I will marry you
It was obvious that the princess was displeased with Raziel's attitude, but she tried her best to hide it. She gave him one of her polite practiced smiles."I am Lyra your highness, the first princess of Crestland, and the daughter of...""I didn't ask you for details. I only asked for your name." Raziel cut her off, and she gave him a smile which was obviously forced. Raziel smiled to himself. This one was easy."What are your hobbies your highness?" He asked as he began to eat. "I am an outdoor person. I usually enjoy mountain climbing and picnics.""We have something in common then." Raziel stated, and he noticed her face brighten a bit. "I am an outdoor person too, but I don't do mountain climbing and picnics. My favorite outdoor activity is slaughtering.""Slaughtering? I don't understand. Do you hunt?""Yes. But not animals."The princess shifted uncomfortably in her seat, and he noticed the little sweat gathering on her forehead."Humans then?""Humans, vampires, werewolves, w
Bound by Blood An agreement
Luciana was back in the parlour again after Dahlia left."I might have gotten myself a wife." Raziel said to her when she joined him.Luciana frowned. "I don't believe you.""She agreed to marry me. I think the plan on my father's side was to get someone who would agree to marry me after meeting me."Luciana shook her head. "I thought the plan was to scare them off." "When did we make that plan?" He asked. "And you seem disappointed. You don't want me married?" He then lowered his voice and said. "Or maybe you want to marry me instead, just so you can see more of my naked self."Luciana stood up abruptly. "Thank you for your company your highness."She then left quickly before he could say more, while Raziel laughed at her reaction. This side of her was totally new to him.____The next day came quickly, and the whole castle was busy and boozing with people, in preparation for the king's wedding. Evelyn was
Bound by Blood Meeting a siren
Luciana stepped out of the castle one morning, searching for some herbs for more experiments, but she didn't find the ones she needed. Especially the wolves bane. She pondered if or not she should ask Raziel, and she finally decided to.It's been about three days since the king married Evelyn and made her Queen, and ever since Raziel had been very busy. It was as if the king left every of his duty for him, and it also seemed like the duties doubled. She had seen less of him since then.She finally gave up on her search for the wolves bane and decided to go back to the castle. But just then she heard a female voice from afar, and she turned to the direction where the voice was coming from. Whomever it was was singing a strange song, and she felt drawn to it. She moved towards the source of the voice, until she arrived at the stream she had washed clothes for Evelyn. The singing continued, and it sounded like it was coming from the water. Luciana walked to
Bound by Blood Sneaking
Elric stared at the girl in disbelief, while her eyes were filled with both hope and fear as she looked back at him. Elric turned back to see the Earl coming towards them, and he crouched down to be on the same level with Freya.He grabbed her chin a little roughly, forcing her to look up at him. Freya was taken aback at how he was acting, but she still stayed calm. Not like she could do anything."I like her." Elric said to the Earl. "How much will I give you to have her?" His thumb trailed Freya's chin in a sensual manner, and he noticed her shiver in fear and hopelessness. Tears filled her eyes."She's not for sale Duke Elric. I was only asked to keep her."Elric gaze trailed her body. He could only see her back, as she hid the rest of her body to hide her nakedness."Has she been fed since she was brought here?""No your grace. I think she was under punishment. Lord Kruger said he wanted to have his way with her, and she denied him.""A stubborn one." He then stood up. "I am surpri
Bound by Blood Plan evil
Freya jumped in fright when someone knocked on the door to the room she was kept in. She instinctively moved back into the bed, while she held the sheets tight as if it will protect her.The knock came again, before the door slowly opened, and a woman came in."Good morning. The duke asked me to check on you.""I am fine." She whispered."I should prepare a warm bath for you."Freya nodded, as she was cold. She had been left naked for days and exposed to the cold.The lady walked into the room and to Freya's bed. She touched her body."You are so cold."She then went into the bathroom to prepare the bath. Freya walked into the bathroom with the robe she was given to wear the previous night. She wanted to undress, but she noticed that the lady was not going away."Uhm... I need to..." She awkwardly cleared her throat, not knowing how to send her away. "Will you stay here while I... bath?""
Bound by Blood Ritual
Just as expected, the king and queen were very furious when they arrived back at the castle at night. They had spent hours on the road, only to be told that the invitation was fake.Evelyn was in particularly angry about the stress that she had been put through, and she took it out on her servants.She really wished to find the culprit, but she had a suspect.She went to Dahlia's room while three of her servants trailed behind her. She didn't bother to knock. She just pushed the door open. Thankfully it wasn't locked."Who could be that mannerless?" Dahlia whined, pretending not to see Evelyn at first. "Oh it is you. Your majesty." She smiled."I know you are behind the fake invitation." Evelyn went straight to accusing her, while Dahlia pretended not to know what she was talking about."Invitation? What invitation?""You know what I am talking about Dahlia. You were the one behind the invitation to your mother's birthday." Evelyn said."With all due respect your majesty, you sound s
Bound by Blood First day at work
Dahlia watched nervously as the prince's blood continue to drop into the witch's bowl. She wondered what he was up to. She really hoped that he was not really getting into a blood ritual that would bind them together. But that was his blood, and that was a witch. How else could this be explained?King Mikael was suspicious of how compliant Raziel was. The prince would never agree to things against his wish just like that. He never lets anyone tells him what to do. Even he the king couldn't fully place him under his control. Raziel would only obey when it pleases him. And that was why he would always resort to threats, using people he cared about against him.Raziel noticed his father staring at him. He gave the man a look he could not fathom. Raziel then shrugged."Don't be surprised father. I want to marry her for real." He whispered, knowing his father could hear him. The king narrowed his gaze at him.Evelyn observed from where she was. She noticed that Raziel was the only one invo

Bound by Blood The slave who became Queen (The End)
Time rolled by fast, and soon it was time for Luciana to deliver. The midwives did their best to ease her pain, and make her comfortable, but it was still a hell of pain for her. Raziel stayed with her all through, holding her hand, giving her his comfort, but even that did not work this time. She ended up hitting and scratching him for the most time. After a moment of difficulty and pain, the baby finally came out. When Luciana heard the cry, all the pain was forgotten. She wanted to reach up for the baby, but the midwife already placed it on her chest. "Congratulations, your majesty. It's a boy." She glanced at Raziel who had his eyes on the baby, before returning her eyes to the miniature being. She stared at the child, her eyes becoming moist. There was this feeling of completeness she had just from staring at him, from hearing his little cries. Raziel still held her hand, kissing the back of her palm as he watched his baby in the arms of his precious wife. He had expected this
Bound by Blood The pregnant Queen
The next few days with Elric were the best for Freya. He had always treated her good, but now he treated her like something so delicate, so precious, so valued. She never knew that she could fall more for him, but she thought wrong. What was there not to fall for? Sometimes she wondered if he was only a figment of her imagination because he was so perfect.Everything was going so perfectly. The construction for her foundation was ongoing, and he had introduced her to some individuals of high status, and they had also supported her. She knew that some of them just wanted to be close to Elric, but she would take every support. At least, they would help her create awareness.It was all laughter and fun, until the night of the next full moon. She had been worried the whole day, and Elric was the one calming her down. There was a chance that he would not pass through his usual episodes, but the uncertainty gnawed at her.Night finally came, and the moon came out. She lay beside him, prepar
Bound by Blood First taste
Elric stared at Freya, concern filling his gaze. She seemed a little frightened, as she hugged herself, her heart beat rising, almost as if she was going into a panic."Are you okay? Did I hurt you?"She shook her head. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to push you. I just..." She gasped. Just as he was about taking her clothes off, she had a flash back of when she was in Lord Kruger's mansion, and she was forced out of her clothes."Tell me." He urges her on gently, and she took a deep breath."I... it felt like... I only remembered when I was in Lord Kruger's house. He always took my clothes off." She then confessed in one breath, her body trembling a little."Come here." He pulled her into his embrace. "Don't worry, we will take it slowly." He placed a soft kiss on the top of her head, calming her down. "I'm am not Kruger, and I will never ever hurt you." He assured her. "Remember what I told you when you were afraid of letting anyone touch you? I said it was your mind playing tricks on yo
Bound by Blood Let me please you
Freya woke up the next morning, wanting to get out of bed. Then she discovered that there was a weight holding her down. That was when she realized that Elric had slept on her bed. She screamed internally. Now she didn't feel like getting up again.She turned to him, staring at his face. How could someone look so good? Her eyes fell to his lips, and she remembered their kiss the previous night.Elric's lips slowly curved into a smile, and she realized that he was awake."Good morning." He greeted in a low but husky morning voice, and her heart did a little flip. This man was trying her patience. He even had dimples... Ugh!"How long have you been awake?" She asked."A long while now.""And you didn't get up?""I prefer lying down here with you."Oh no, he just woke up and decided to attack her heart.His eyes suddenly opened to meet her orbs, staring back at him."As much as I would love to stay here all day, I have to get up."She nodded in understanding. "How do you feel now?" She c
Bound by Blood Did it work?
Freya didn't let Elric get up, as she basically jumped on him, and he fell back into the bed."You are okay!" She exclaimed, hugging him, her hands tightly wounded around his neck. "You scared me, you scared me so much." She whispered to him."I'm sorry I put you through that." He whispered back, stroking her hair. "I'm really sorry."Luciana and Raziel gave each other a look, before deciding to leave them to their privacy.After hugging him for a little while longer, she pulled herself up, but her legs still straddled him. "How are you feeling? Did it work?"Elric's brows furrowed, before he realized. She had actually stabbed him. That was why he lost consciousness in the first place. What did she use? He remembered the excruciating pain he felt."What did you do to me?"She thinned as lips, as she prepared herself to answer. "Please don't get angry.""I only want to know."She nodded, feeling a little nervous. "It was the vampire poison. Luciana and I... We wanted to kill your vampi
Bound by Blood Dead
Freya didn't know when the hours passed, but the next time she raised her head, it was already morning, and Elric was still yet to wake up. She got up, utterly tired. She didn't sleep at all through the night, hoping that he would wake up.She paced around the room restlessly in confusion, refusing to believe what her mind was telling her. She believed that he would wake up. Perhaps it would just take a little while to work. After walking for a while, she sat on the floor, her back against the wall.She stayed like that for only a few seconds before going back to the bed. She rested her head on his chest to check for his heart beat, but she still heard nothing. Her heart sank to her stomach, and she reached to clutch her own chest. Terror gripped her so hard, she felt like it would fall off.She suddenly burst into laughter. This was all a joke right? Perhaps it was a very bad dream. Because this could not be happening to her. She didn't fall completely and stupidly in love with him j
Bound by Blood Don't leave me
Freya engaged Elric's in talks and some fun games to keep his mind occupied. She also tried playing with his hair, making it the way her mother used to do for her and Luciana, making him appear a bit feminine. She thought he was still handsome in it though. It was as if her attempts to distract him was actually working, as he was still doing a good job controlling himself.But even with all her efforts, Freya couldn't prevent the inevitable. She noticed that he was beginning to experience his torture again when she saw that his palms were tightly clenched, and he had also gone quiet, leaving her to do all the talking. He also had his eyes tightly shut.She reached for his clenched fists, and was surprised to feel moisture. His claws has elongated, and he had wounded himself.Her heart pounded rapidly in her chest, and she just reached to hold his clenched fists. This seemed like it was going to be a very long night."Hey, how are you feeling?" She couldn't help but ask. She wanted to
Bound by Blood Stay
Luciana gave Freya a small dagger, coated with the poison. Freya's heart skipped at the reality of the situation was beginning to dawn on her. This was a really really big risk to take, and the 'what ifs' were too much."Do you need me to stay back and help you with it?" Luciana offered when she noticed Freya's nervousness, but Freya shook her head in refusal."I want to do this. And I think Raziel would throw me in your dungeons if I keep you too long." She joked, and Luciana laughed."Alright then. I wouldn't like to plead on your behalf. People might think I'm bias because you are my sister."Freya only chuckled a bit. "Thank you Lucy. It was nice having you over."After Luciana and Raziel had left, Freya became overly aware of the time. She also kept a very close eye on Elric to know if he planned on leaving the house. But he was just still very much like himself, and it didn't seem like he planned to go anywhere. She still asked Alice to keep an eye on him, just in case she misse
Bound by Blood A much needed closure
Freya was floating among the clouds as she recalled the kiss between her and Elric the previous day. She was currently lying on her bed, but she couldn't help the smile on her face. She decided to write to Luciana."Calm down Freya, it's only a kiss." She scolded herself as she got up. She had been telling herself that since the kiss happened, especially when she was close to Elric.At dinner the previous night, she thought it was going to be awkward between them, but it wasn't at all. He was very casual, and even a little more touchy. Perhaps he would think she was acting like a child. Actually, anyone would think that she was acting like a child.She was suddenly pulled out of her thoughts by a knock on the door. Her heart skipped a little, thinking it was Elric. She opened the door only to find Alice."Good morning, Lady Freya. Did I wake you up?"Freya shook her head. "Not at all. I have been up for a while. Is there a problem?""The duke wants to speak to you. He is in the balcon
