Bound by Blood Chapter 118: Elric's truth
Things had gone well between Freya and Elric, though it was only outwardly. She couldn't stop herself from thinking about all the things he told her about himself. A day had passed, and yet she was still engrossed in the thoughts.The way he mentioned that he killed the people that tried to use him was very strange. She could see the satisfaction in his eyes as he said that. She would really love to know more about that side of him. She wondered if he would tell her if she asked. He was very open with her the previous day anyway. She decided to ask him.She climbed up the stairs and went to the balcony where he was, seated across a table, with an opened wine bottle on it, and in his hand, a glass half filled with a red liquid. He seemed to be enjoying the scenery ahead."Duk... Sorry, Elric." It was still a struggle, calling him by his name.He turned to her. "Freya."She walked to him, took the seat across him and sat. "Is that blood?" She asked curiously, staring at the glass.Elric
Bound by Blood Fighting demons
Freya could not bring herself to say anything for a good one minute. Her brain took its sweet time to process everything he had told her. Elric looked at her and smiled, understanding her turmoil."You probably see me in a different light now." He stated, schooling her expression. He then took a slow sip of his wine. She nodded. She had always known him to be calm and kind. But now, she was beginning to think that he was also a dangerous man. His calm nature, making him even more dangerous."Honestly, yes. You are not as simple as I thought you to be. But I don't respect or like you any less." She confessed. "Perhaps even more."He smiled. "That is good to hear.""You didn't want to kill the prince of Durville at that time, but you were willing to kill him during the short war you recently fought?" Freya inquired. She had of course asked him about it, especially since she found out that he was Luciana's husband."That was war. I am supposed to kill my enemies. He happened to be the l
Bound by Blood Unreciprocated feelings
Luciana could feel the deep emotions that were coming from him. His regret was palpable, clouding him like a second skin. His love for her, the sincerity in his voice cut so deep and she felt it in her heart. She felt butterflies go loose in her stomach, and her heart did a little flip. This was the first time he confessed to her."Raziel." She drew close to him. "I agree with you. You hurt me. These past few days, you have made me follow you and struggle to keep you in check, you made me so scared, and all that occupied my head and heart was the fear of losing you forever. It was funny, it wasn't easy."She looked into his eyes and was surprised to see the deep sadness and guilt they held, it made her heart clench."I am sorry, Lucy.""Raziel," He answered her with a hum. "All these happened within a few days when your body was undergoing the biggest change you have ever experienced. I would be surprised if you weren't affected."His gaze turned surprised. He thought she was blaming
Bound by Blood Fishing for the betrayer
Luciana went to the laboratory after putting Lorenzo on Raziel's watch. Apart from her, he was he only one he seemed to listen to. But it was a lot of work for him, compared to her. She was still a bit glad as he seemed to be showing some signs of his old self since the night they had that talk. It was a mental struggle for him, but she believed that he would pull through.She got to the laboratory, her guards with her."Do you still enjoy working here like you used to?" Arlo asked her. "I guess that the treatment would be different from before. Does it make you uncomfortable?"She smiled. He was thoughtful. "It does. That is the one downside of being Queen. At least I don't come here as much as before.""One would think you came here to work." Sofia chimed in, and Luciana gave her a knowing look.The moment they stepped into the laboratory, the busy environment seemed to halt for a moment, as the attention of everyone seemed to be pulled towards her. People close by offered their gre
Bound by Blood Royal wedding
When Luciana got back to the castle, she left Terrence for her guards, while she went to find Raziel. She was surprised to find them in the parlour, talking over an early lunch. Dahlia was there too. Two servants walked round the table, serving them. Maybe the gathering was exactly what she needed after finding out about Terrence's betrayal."My love." Raziel cooed at her, making her lips lift into a smile. She walked to him and placed a kiss on his right cheek, before pulling out a chair to sit beside him."What is the party for?" She asked as she settled into her chair. Raziel, Lorenzo and Dahlia shared knowing glances, making her feel like they were hiding something from her. "Tell me." She turned to Raziel, but he smiled sheepishly. She then faced Dahlia, and she averted her gaze. "Lorenzo help me out. Please?" She asked in a low tone, knowing that he would likely not deny her."Uh, I am sorry, your majesty, but it is up to the king to tell you.""Raziel?" She called softly, turni
Bound by Blood A baby
Dahlia and Rebecca took it upon themselves to prepare Luciana for the upcoming wedding. All the plannings and big decisions were made by them, but they would make sure it was approved by the couple to be wedded.Luciana only had three people to invite, and she already sent invitations to them. While Raziel sent invitations to a few cousins and his uncle. He also invited some kings and noble men, just to show off. He invited Dahlia's parents also, just to start trouble.Dahlia invited the seamstress to come to the castle to take her measurements, so they would have time if they were to make any adjustments in the dress. She tried her best, wanting to make everything perfect.Luciana stood in her dressing room, while the girls moved around her, taking her measurements. Dahlia and Rebecca were there, giving out instructions on how they wanted the dress to be."You really have no preference, Red... Your majesty?" She quickly corrected herself, seeing that they were other people there, but
Bound by Blood Guns and pistols
Ever since Raziel found out that Luciana was pregnant, he did everything he could to make her extra comfortable. He made sure she had everything she was craving, and at the moment she was craving it. But he also took the physician's advice to mind, making her eat healthy. He was going to relieve her from every duty, but she disagreed with him. She argued that she would lose her sanity if all she ever did was to sit around and be taken care of all day. Luckily for her, the physician supported her."Open your mouth." Raziel said, bringing a slice of apple to her lips. She lay on the bed, while he sat on a chair beside her."Have you ever seen a pregnant woman before, Raziel?" She questioned him."Of course. Why do you ask?""I just wanted to know if you once saw anyone collapse and die from lack of care for a minute."He chuckled. "Ah, so now you are tired of me?""I love you, but you are annoying." She stated with a roll of her eyes."Ouch!"She then smiled apologetically. "Sorry. But
Bound by Blood A case
Elric continued to direct Freya, completely unaware of her internal turmoil. Or maybe he was, but he chose to prove ignorant.Gradually, she began to pick up and shoot better. "This is actually fun."He laughed as he let her hand go. "It is only fun because you are shooting at a board. It would be a whole different experience if you are shooting at a real person.""How many people have you shot at?" She asked, wondering if he would know the number."Two.""Two?" Her brows furrowed as she stared at him in disbelief. From the stories he told her, she expected that he would have shot a whole lot more.He laughed. "That was a joke of course. It is countless." He then went to one side of the wall and relaxed his back there. "When do you plan on leaving for Durville?"Oh, something she meant to ask him."I was going to ask you that.""It's your sister's wedding. You should decide." He urged her."Thank you. Well, I would prefer to be there a few days to the wedding.""We will get there in t

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
