Freya tried to keep herself busy by tidying the house up. Elric told her that his mother would be coming that day or the next. The house didn't even need much work, as it was already very neat. She observed that the house was always neat. Perhaps the Duke was a clean freak.

She wondered why she hadn't seen any of his family before, nor had she heard him mention them. And why did he have such a big house when he lived alone? Perhaps it was because he was a Duke. For a Duke, he usually didn't have much visitors. Why? She expected to be seeing nobilities from far and wide visit him? Even commoners often visited the nobles for help. Something was off with him.

The duke stepped out for a bit, and she decided to walk around the house to see parts she had not seen before.

She climbed down the stairs, and walked into the hallways. There was another hallway connected at the right side of the main one, but it was dark. She turned curious, and decided to go that way.

She did not see any rooms at

    Evelyn was led to the bathroom to bath. The bathroom was not actually what she expected. It was very tidy, and somewhat luxurious. Why would so much luxury be spent on a house where slaves were kept?She was grateful for it anyway. She could not imagine herself bathing in a dirty place. She had been in dirt for too long. It was already enough that she had no servants to help her. At least she was free already. She couldn't wait to go back to her father's kingdom.When she was almost done, she heard a knock on the door, before the door opened and a young girl stepped in holding clothes."What the hell is wrong with you? Are you stupid? How dare you barge in without waiting for my response? Do you know that your offence could cost you your life?"The girl looked confused, as her gaze darted from the door to the lady bathing."Who are you?" She asked."How dare you ask me that way? I am your queen!" Evelyn's yell echoed all over the bathroom.The girl looked at her like something was wro

    Evelyn followed behind the general who was walking too fast for her. She had to jog along, just to keep up with his pace. She would have yelled at him, but she was afraid he would lock her up in some dungeon again. "What are we doing here?" She asked calmly, but Lorenzo didn't answer her. He just continued walking. He entered the building, and began to climb up the stairs. She noticed how people that they came across greeted him there, and she realized that he was very much respected. She feared more, as she had no one on her side.Lorenzo finally stopped when he got to an office room door, with three guards on either side, located in the top floor. He knocked once, before he gently pushed it open. Evelyn's fear magnified with each passing moment. Her hands grew cold, and they were trembling slightly."Come with me." He told her, and she reluctantly walked in with him. "This is the head council's office." He informed her in a hushed tone.Evelyn then noticed a man sitting on a chair

  • Bound by Blood    The siren tale

    Luciana was dumbstruck as she stared at the siren who was brave enough to enter a vampire's castle. And how did she get legs? Now she understood why Rebecca looked so confused. She indeed was. The siren had compelled her.Lorissa swung her legs childishly where she sat, staring at them with admiration."You were looking for me your majesty. Here I am.""So you heard?" Luciana asked in disbelief."Yes. But it wasn't convenient for me.""Now it is convenient for you?" She asked, and the siren nodded. "What if it is not convenient for me?"Lorissa gave her one of those her charming smiles that revealed her beautiful dimples. Luciana thought she was a little annoying."How did you get past the guards? And how come you have legs?" Luciana asked curiously. She had an idea of how she got past the guards though. She could compel, but she could only compel one person at a time, so Luciana was curious."The guards? It was truly easy and fun to get past them. They couldn't get their eyes off of

    Luciana was calm even after she listened to Lorissa's story. What she heard was unbelievable, and she didn't exactly know what to feel or how to react. She needed to talk to Raziel about it first."You are going to let me teach you right?" Lorissa asked hopefully."Teach me what exactly?""How to grow into your powers, and fulfill Lycerys' wish.""Like I said before, I want no part in fulfilling Lycerys' wish."Lorissa then stood up and walked to Luciana. She removed the necklace that hung on her neck and gave it to Luciana."Touch it and call my name when you need me, it will draw my attention to you."Luciana took the necklace. It had a glittering shell-like object attached to it."I should leave now." Lorissa said, before stepping out of the door.When she went out of the door, she was surprised to see a guard standing there as he wasn't there when she entered. Perhaps he was the queen's guard. She noticed him staring at her, and she wondered if she needed to compel him. What if he

  • Bound by Blood    Dreaded wedding

    Dahlia went to bed that night, turning and tossing, unable to sleep. She knew that once she woke up, she would face what she dreaded most at that moment, and that would be marrying that man. She wished he would just die.She finally got up when she heard a knock on the door, she had sent a maid to get her blood tea mixed with sleeping herbs. She didn't care if it was going to make her sleepy the next day, it would even be better. If she was going to really end up marrying that man, it was better she did so while knocked off.The maid entered, dressed in the usual Valenn's maid's uniform, carrying the cup of tea. She came to the bed and gave it to Dahlia."The tea, my lady.""Thank you. Did you remember to include the sleeping herb?"The maid shook her head. "No my lady."Dahlia frowned, believing that the maid did that to keep her from sleeping through the wedding. "Why would you disobey?"The maid placed both hands on her bed, and her gaze narrowed suspiciously. She instinctively mov

    Dahlia's heart skipped in terror as she stepped into the room. They were only a few guests there as the rest were yet to arrive. It was still too early for a wedding to take place, and most of the guests were not informed of the shift in time. She was sure that a whole lot more would come later.She saw the king seated in front, on his throne. He wife was seated beside him, and there was another smaller throne which she guessed would be for her, in his other side. She felt insulted.Her gaze scanned the entire room. The room was heavily and luxuriously decorated, but she wasn't in the mood to admire the decoration. She looked around, and her eyes met her mother's who gave her a curt nod of encouragement. She looked away from her and met her father's eyes, who had a smug smile on his lips. He was perhaps feeling victorious.She couldn't bear to look at them anymore, so she turned away from them. But no where seemed to be better. There was no familiar face. She felt trapped and hopeless

    By the time Lorenzo got to Valenn, it was already noon. He managed to find everyone he had sent before him, and they went a little far from the castle and into the woods, before they could start talking."Did you find her?" Lorenzo asked them. They were three, and all female."Yes general, but it would be difficult to rescue her right now. She's presently being monitored closely by the king's guards. Her father gave instructions to some his men to take out her personal maid." One girl answered.Lorenzo was surprised by the turnouts, but he did well to hide it. "The maid is safe now. Do you have any idea if the king or her father is near her? Where is she right now?""Last we saw her father, we went to meet some of his men from Woodrow. Perhaps he went to give them the order to kill the maid. While the king left to attend to some of the wedding guests. More are still coming.""Is the wedding over? Did she end up marrying him?" He asked again, and he failed to conceal the desperation i

  • Bound by Blood    Night of the wedding

    Freya stared at the woman hugging her son from a distance. This wasn't what she had expected when she thought of his mother. She even reeked of alcohol. How could she be his mother? Elric was too responsible, where as... Or was it too early to judge?The woman seemed to be falling on him, so he had to hold her to keep her steady. She stared at him with a wide grin."It's been so long Elric, you have refused to come see your mother.""I have been very busy here mah." He answered, sounding somehow awkward. "We should go inside. And why didn't you inform me that are coming with aunty and whoever that is?" He asked, referring to the man. "And you made me wait for days. I was worried.""You don't always have to worry about me. See? I am fine." She swayed heavily, and he caught her before she would fall. "I don't think you can walk." He sounded a little annoyed now. He then picked her up, and carried her in his arms. His gaze then searched for Freya before giving her an apologetic look."H

    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

  • 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
