Luciana thought he was going to drop her in the bathtub, but instead he dropped her on the floor and entered the tub.He turned to see her glaring at him."You can join me if you want."She knew that he just wanted to tease her, so she entered and sat astride him, feeling the warm water soothing her skin. She wondered when the bath was prepared."This is exactly what you want right?" She asked playfully, and he nodded. Raziel then adjusted himself, until his hard length entered her again.By the time they were done bathing, they went back to the room, while Raziel draped one of his robes over her so she could go change in her room."You will have to pick a personal maid and at least two guards after now.""Why?""You would be queen."So it was necessary. She didn't have problem picking guards. She was already used to having Arlo, Luke and Sofia around sometimes. So she would just pick them. The problem was picking a maid. It made her feel a little uncomfortable, having someone else do
Luciana felt overwhelmed with what Raziel did. He had gone against the nobles to marry her and make her queen, now he was breaking rules for her. She felt her chest swell with happiness. No one had ever made her feel the way he did. Not even close. He was just too good to her.It was also overwhelming that she had men and women of nobilities kneeling at her feet. Never had she ever thought of this, nor did she dare to dream of it. The people that would usually look down on her, because she was born of a specie that they classified as inferior.She turned to him, and he grabbed her waist and gave her a snacking kiss right in front of everyone. She didn't even have the time to protest, and after he kissed her for a while, she didn't feel the need to protest again. She wanted more of his kisses. The people got on their feet, and a round of applause resounded in the hall.Just outside the throne room, stood none other than the duke of Wesborne, Elric. He watched with clenched fist as the
Rebecca felt humiliated as she knelt before the human who was formerly a slave under her, but was now queen. Life could be ironic sometimes.She even felt more pained at the fact that the king seemed to favour her a lot. He even made her queen at his own coronation. How could she be so lucky?Then aside those feelings, she also felt fear. She knew that she had looked down at her, and wronged her a lot. She had even starved her. She would have hit her a number of times if she was allowed. What if she wanted revenge? What if she told the king and he decided to punish her? She visibly shivered at the thought."You can stand up now Rebecca." Luciana said, and Rebecca stood up. Noticing her fear, she asked; "Are you okay?"Rebecca nodded. But she was confused why the new queen asked if she was okay. Have she forgiven her, or did she have plans to punish her later?"I am okay, my queen. Thank you for asking.""You trust Rebecca?" Raziel asked her, and shook her head."It's not exactly a tru
Rebecca looked at Luciana before lowering her gaze again. She just wanted to run away from there. She hated the fact that she could not tell what the new queen was thinking. She couldn't tell if she was in trouble or not, but she knew that she was supposed to be, judging by her offenses. She only hoped that the human had a forgiving heart. "You are not sorry at all Rebecca, you are just afraid of punishments." Luciana said, and Rebecca fervently shook her head."I truly am sorry.""You may leave now." Luciana ordered. The she wolf was confused. Just like that? Or was there something waiting for her? "Now?""Yes."After Rebecca had left, Luciana went into their room. She smiled when she saw that Raziel had her reading table and chair, together with her books brought in. He could be so thoughtful.She then went to the table and began to write something, on a neat piece of paper. When she was done, she went to look for the royal stamp, and she stamped the paper before placing it into a
Lorenzo quickly took the lady's hand away from his chest, while he stared at her in disbelief."I thought ladies of nobilities are thought manners." "I didn't take my lessons seriously." She grinned wide, and he shook his head. This one was really something else."I am hungry Lorenzo."With the way she stared at him, he wasn't sure which kind of hunger she was talking about.She smiled as if she could read his thoughts. "I want to eat. And I mean food, not whatever might be on your mind right now.""Do you know that you have an annoying smile?" Lorenzo asked her, and she only grinned wider."The last person that told me that wanted to sleep with me." She blurted, and his eyes dilated. "So tell me Lorenzo, do you want to sleep with me?"He knew that she was joking, but he was still surprised to see a lady that shameless, especially considering her status, and the fact that she barely knew him."That is a very dangerous joke to tell a man while lying beside him on his bed." He warned,
Luciana wondered if he was joking, but he looked to be very serious. Coffins? "Why are coffins in the basement?" She curiously asked. "Are they empty?"Knowing how curious she could be, he answered, "They have been there for centuries now. They are there because that is the best place to keep them, and no, they are not empty." He answered her questions, making her turn even more curious."Why is that the best place? Shouldn't the people inside be buried? Or is the coffin filled with something else, and not people?" He sighed. "There are people inside." He told her, and her brows furrowed in confusion. "But they are not dead.""Then why are they in a coffin?" Luciana asked again."They are my great grand parents. They are known to have demonic powers, and we do not to how it came to be. They lose control a lot, and then they try to kill everyone and destroy everything they come across." Raziel explained, while she looked on in shock. "My grand father, and his siblings tried numerous
The duke looked surprise at how she yelled back at him, and it only got him angrier. Perhaps the young king had thought her how to be arrogant."You dare talk back at me?"She stood up before he was able to get to her, and she dodged his next hit."I am not going to marry the man you had set up for me father." She stubbornly insisted. She then walked to the door."If you move an inch, I will disown you." He threatened."That would be a breath of fresh air."But before she could open the door, he rushed at her from behind, continuously hitting her on her face. Dahlia crouched down to protect her face from his blows.At that moment, the door opened and Luciana barged in with Luke, Arlo and Sofia behind her."Take him away." She ordered angrily, and they went to grab the duke."You dare not touch me." He warned, but the guards paid no attention to his words, and they grabbed him."You are no longer allowed in this castle." Luciana said, while the duke was being dragged out.She then walk
By the time Raziel and Lorenzo got back to the castle, it was already twilight. The king went straight to look for his wife, while the general kept himself busy around the castle.Raziel found Luciana having dinner with Dahlia in the parlour at the ground floor of the castle. When he entered, she turned to him and she smiled. He could tell that she was pleased by his presence, and it gladdened him.His mind then went to what the witch had told him. How could she possibly be a danger to him? He highly doubted that. He then remembered the witch saying that she could either make him, or break him. She was already making him. He wondered what the witch meant by she's more than meet the eyes.Raziel walked up to the ladies and just stopped behind Luciana's chair, and opposite Dahlia. He bent to kiss the top of her hair, and Luciana could feel her heart leap, and her stomach flutter. She felt a little shy because of Dahlia's presence."Good evening my queen. Did you miss me?" He placed his
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
