It was the middle of the night in Lorenzo's house, Dahlia and Lorenzo were still yet to sleep. They still lay together in Dahlia's bed, and Lorenzo still had her wrapped in his embrace. He was staring at her, while she glared at him like she wanted to kill him.Dahlia brought her lips to his neck, and she bit him hard. Reflexively, he pushed her away."Ouch!" He yelped as his found found his neck where she had bitten, rubbing it, as if soothing the pain.Dahlia used the opportunity to climb him, straddling him. Her hand reached for his neck, wanting to stangle him. Lorenzo chuckled. "So you plan to kill me now?" He teased, wiggling his brows at her. She squeezed his neck harder, and he pretended that he was dying."I hate you." Dahlia blurted, and she heard him chuckle, a sound that seemed to annoy her. "No you don't." He smiled charmingly at her, and she went back to strangling him. Lorenzo's hands found her waist, and he held both sides. He moved her against him, creating a frictio
Luciana took Raziel's arm, as she knelt by his side as she examined it closely. He was bleeding, but the bleeding was beginning to heal. From the look of things, it didn't seem like he would be affected by it in the long run. Perhaps it was because of his purebred royal blood, and it didn't graze his vital organs. But she still thought that he should be more affected by it."Does it still hurt now?" She asked him, and he shook his head."No. I am only bothered with finding the person that did it. I don't think it is a mistake. Someone is intentionally targeting us. I might be the target, but there is also a chance that it could be you." Raziel said, worrying more for her than for himself."And someone betrayed us. Only a few people have access to the poison, and most of them are from the lab." After the short war, Luciana saw the damages that the poison caused, and she ordered that it be kept hidden, away from the public access, and even high ranking nobles. Only her, the king and a v
Luciana stood in disbelief, as she gazed into the distance where the men had disappeared into. For a good one minute, she was unable to react. Then a long suffocating breath escaped her lips, and she felt herself stagger a little. The cool wind wasn't comforting anymore, it was chilling and biting her skin. She hugged herself with her hands as if that would protect her from the reality that had just befell her. She felt painful knots forming on the pit of her stomach.Raziel! They took him. She felt guilty that she made him so vulnerable. Because he was in desperate need to protect her, he couldn't protect himself. And he was wounded by the very creation of her own hands. He was injured badly, and she knew that he would definitely be in pain. But pain was the least that could happen to him with the amount of poison that was put in his body.The vampire poison was made to kill, even pure blooded royal vampires. She had seen it work on other vampires. She had personally used it. It was
"My queen, are you sure about this? Will you be safe in the water?" Sofia asked in worry. She heard the thing they said about sirens and powers, but she doubted it was true. How could she be a siren?"Trust our queen. I believe she knows what she is doing." Arlo said, while Luke gave them both a look to be quiet."Your majesty, do you still require our presence this close?" Luke asked Luciana, knowing that she was going to take off her clothes. They knew that the king would have asked them to leave if he was there. But since they serve her first, they needed to hear from her."Just turn around." Luke, Arlo and Sofia turned, while Rebecca already used to seeing her naked wasn't sure if she was to turn. She was her personal maid after all."You are a girl Sofia. There is no need to turn."Perhaps because she had been a soldier for too long, she often forgot that she was a girl. Anyway, she got the same treatment as the male soldiers, she carry out the same duties and receive the same p
Lorissa sighed. She expected Luciana to be tired, or perhaps asking for a break by now, by no, she was still going very strong."When I talk about the siren song, I know that you think we have a particular song we sing.""Don't you?""No we don't. What matters is your mind and concentration, and any song that can help you focus. Perhaps a song you like and can connect to. Maybe a song precious to you, something that stirs your emotions, something you can connect your soul to."This was the part Luciana had a problem with. She was not the type that sings or likes to sing. That was her sister and her mother. So finding a song like Lorissa had described was a tasking thing for her."You have no such song?" Lorissa inquired, noticing her hesitance. Luciana shook her head. "Think hard. I believe everyone has a song that reminds their heart of something. Someone perhaps."Luciana looked thoughtful for a moment. She couldn't think of a song of her own, but she remembered her mother used to s
It only took a couple of minutes before Ranos and the other man arrived the stream where Luciana and the others were. Ranos eyes darted in confusion, while the other man's eyes were blazing with fury towards Ranos. He didn't understand why he suddenly grabbed him, only to run like his life was on the line. That was when he looked and saw the people around them.His eyes turned back to Ranos with an unconcealed accusation. "You? You work for the Queen? Why did you bring me to her? But we are only working for you, I didn't do anything wrong."Ranos pointed an accusing finger at Luciana."Witch. I heard her voice. She..." He trailed off as a resounding slap echoed in his face. His vision went blank for a moment, and he could swear that he heard vibrations in his head. Luke had slapped him, and stepped back casually.The other man attempted to run away, but he was quickly caught by Arlo and Sofia, and with their skills, they held him down.Luciana looked at Ranos who was still struggling
~Back in WesborneIt had been up and down for Freya since Elric's mother and Aunty came to stay with them. The mother had been very nice and friendly to her, she even liked to involve her in conversations and small talks. The only problem was his aunty. She didn't like her because she wasn't from a noble home. She believed she was a dishonour to their family name. She had even considered leaving once, but Elric persuaded her to stay. He reminded her that he owned the house, and not his aunty. He also never failed to defend her in front of the woman. The last time, he threatened to send her away if she should mistreat Freya again.Right at that moment, Freya and the Duke were together in the kitchen, making dinner for everyone, as the servants were still not back. She discovered that he liked cooking. In fact, he found pleasure in doing simple tasks, things a man of his status would not even think of.She still wasn't free with people touching her, but her mind kind of an exception for
Luciana was completely taken aback by the sudden attack on her neck. Raziel's hand held her waist close and firm, not even giving her the chance to move, not to talk of freeing herself. His hold was so strong, nothing like the gentleness he usually showed her. Luciana panicked when she realized the rate at which he was drinking her blood. She knew that he loved the taste of her blood, and now that he didn't seem to recognize her, she knew that she was in trouble. He was not holding back, and when he sucked her dry, he would blame himself."Raziel stop." She said, tapping his back. "Raziel you are going to hurt me." She hit him, but it felt like she was just pouring water on a rock.Luke was confused for a moment, he didn't know if he should attack Raziel as he was his king, but he needed to help Luciana. After contemplating for a little while, he decided to go after Raziel. He hit his back hard with his vampiric strength, but the man wasn't shaken. It was as if he didn't even notice.
