Nicklaus gazed down at Tiana as she blushed, and he couldn't help but bring his hand up and caress her pink cheek with his thumb. Heavens knew how much he wanted to lean down and kiss her. She was tempting him with this dress and her bare neck and shoulders.He had been surprised and relieved that he hadn't forced himself on her last night when his demon was in control. Seems that his demon craves Tiana as much as he does the only difference is that his demon doesn't care about Tiana’s feelings while he does."Are you alright? I heard that the king is unwell" she asked worried. He had almost forgotten the big problem he had to deal with when he saw her."Tiana, I want you to pack some clothes, we will leave the castle". He didn't want Tiana to stay another minute here. The alpha could die anytime and he knew that he would be the one to be attacked first, since his brothers hated him. Tiana looked confused at him "I will explain everything on the way" he said"now hurry!".Once Tiana l
We sat leaning against a tree after Nicklaus told his men that they should rest for a while. Tiana knew he was doing it for her."Where are we going?" she asked."To Nephus, To your family." He was going to ask her father to help in this war between brothers. "Will you really kill your brothers?" she asked carefully."Yes" he said without hesitation. She shivered at the thought."Even your nephews?" he clenched his jaw and closed his eyes, then opened them again."I won't have to kill them because my brothers will."Why? They are just kids. Why kill your family for the throne? That's something she could never understand.Standing up "we should continue" he said. They continued their journey and reached there at night, after riding the whole day.Tiana’s brothers were the ones to welcome them. They spoke mostly to Nicklaus, ignoring her totally. She wasn’t expecting more. They were never close. Their family always separated men and women. While men were respected, almost worshipped wom
"Ah, the scars? They healed." he said simply pulling the robe over his shoulders."That's impossible, they can't heal that fast and even if they did, they would leave scars," Tiana said still trying to make sense of everything."Well, they healed, and they didn't leave any scars, don’t forget am a werewolf and our healing power are better than mere human my dear human wife," was all Nicklaus said," now your father is waiting, I need to get going."Tiana was still confused as he walked to the bathroom. Do werewolf heal with no scar left behind?? That was the question she could find answer to.After taking a bath, dressing up and making her hair with the help of some maids, Tiana was on her way to the dining room. Nicklaus had already left not to let the king wait. Tiana opened the door to the dining room and walked inside.Her Father was sitting on the short side of the table as mother and Nicklaus were sitting opposite each other on the long side of it. As she walked closer, she notic
They were riding fast through the woods after leaving her father disappointed for failing in his mission to make her stay.“Are you sure you want to come with me?" Nicklaus had asked. "Your life will be in danger."Tiana had decided that she would rather live in danger than live like a dead person, but that wasn't the main reason she didn't want to stay. She didn't want to stay because she wanted to be with her husband."Feeling alright?" Nicklaus asked after slowing down."Yes, I am fine. I think I am getting used to it" Tiana said, slightly delighted. "Where are we going?""To Crescent pack" he replied. Crescent, a pack known for its wars, slavery and prostitution. Their alpha was a cruel one with a thirst for blood and appetite for women. It is said that he takes a new wife and a new concubine every day and that liquor, parties and sex are a part of his daily life and everyone else's living in the pack."Are you sure it's a good idea to go there?" Tiana asked, she heard about Cresc
Rita kept glancing Nicklaus’ way as we ate our breakfast, while the King and Nicklaus spoke informally with each other, which surprised Tiana. The King was willing to help Nicklaus as they were already speaking of how to win this war. Tiana only feared he would ask for something in exchange. Something bad. "You should stay here until the King dies, then we will take action," the King said. As if waiting for someone's death was a daily occurrence. "Derek? can you stop acting like a King at least until we eat our breakfast?" Rita asked. "Of course" Derek smiled at his sister. "We have a party tonight. I hope you can attend after you have rested," he then said to Tiana and Nicklaus. "Of course" Nicklaus replied. "Jennifer, why don't you take them to a nice room. I am sure they would like to rest." Tiana was so tired, but as she laid on the bed next to Nicklaus all she could do was ask questions. "You seem to know Derek pretty well,” she began. "Yes," was all Nicklaus said before
Back in the room;Tiana laid in the bathtub filled with hot water, thinking about what the guards had said about her. She shouldn't have slapped Nicklaus in front of his men. It was disrespectful, and still he hadn't got angry with her.Nicklaus was asleep when she came back to the room, so she asked a maid to prepare a hot bath for her. The hot water was soothing, relaxing her tense muscles until it felt like a massage and in a moment it made her fall into a deep sleep.She woke up shifting in the bed. The soft satin sheets rubbed against her skin and she realized she was not wearing much. Tiana quickly sat up on the bed and lifted the sheet up. She was only wearing a towel, her shoulders, legs and thighs were bare. It took her a moment to remember that she was taking a bath earlier and fell asleep and now here she was. How?A sound made her look to her side. Nicklaus was sitting in a chair, a glass of wine in his hands as he studied her with those extraordinary eyes. He was the only
"I don't believe these things." Tiana said as she noticed Nicklaus dancing with Rita, and she completely forgot what the king just told her. Tiana saw Rita blushed as she said something to Nicklaus and blinked with her long lashes seductively.The King chuckled, "you're pretty possessive about your husband."Tiana wasn’t listening to him anymore because Rita was leading Nicklaus somewhere secluded outside of the hall."I need to speak with my husband. Will you excuse me, Your Majesty?" Tiana said.Derek gave Tiana a knowing smile and dropped her hand. She rushed through the dancing crowd and proceeded out of the hall. Where did she take him? Looking through the halls, Tiana couldn't find him and even if she did, what would she do? Men had the privilege of taking other women if they desired to. She hated this unfairness."My lady, are you lost?" said a maid who noticed that Tiana was walking through the halls looking for something.Yes, she was lost; she didn't know where to go or what
Tiana panicked, how could she have fallen asleep when Nicklaus was ill? Tiana quickly placed her hand on Nicklaus’ forehead who was still sleeping. No fever. What had made him so ill last night? He seemed fine just before we kissed.The kiss!!His hand on her back, around her waist, in her hair, pressing her body to his, the heat, the tingling sensation. Tiana subconsciously brought her hand up to her lips. His lips had been so soft yet so firm, moving against hers till she was breathless. He tasted like pepper; hot burning your tongue, yet you came back for more. More... Yes, she wanted more.Tiana had been willing to give herself to him last night, but slowly his kiss had become sloppy. His arms trembled before his entire body shook. Fear showed in his beautiful eyes, struggle on his face and sweat beads on his forehead. She had seen him like that once before, when we were in the woods, when our lips had touched. Something told Tiana it had to do with the kiss, but why?Someone knoc
Imagine living in a world full of fiery, feral beings, hiding in the shadows, roving in our dreams, creeping under our skin. Eavesdropping, manipulating our minds, and exploring our bodies. They are savages, beasts but some of them are companions and childhood friends. Some are dangerous, others even more dangerous. They live amongst us. Some of us call them Demons, vampires but some of them should never be called….There is one man. A mysterious silver-eyed stranger who keeps appearing in her dreams. Who is he and what does he want? Is he a friend or an enemy?A/N: I may take two to three months before writing again i have some health issue i need to treat first. thank yoyu all my readers for supporting me lets meet when all goes well on my side bye love you all!!!
Nicklaus sat at the end of the table. To his right side, his family were sitting and to his left side the family who had saved him. They were dining and chatting happily. Nicklaus looked at each one of them and warmth filled his chest.Once in his life, he had been completely alone. He had no mother at all and no father who cared for him. His siblings were his main enemies and he had no friends. There was no one who knew what he was and no one had cared to know. Even he didn't know who he was. He had been confused, sad, lost and alone. He had given up on life. Until he met her. His wife.The woman who brought light in his dark world, the woman who brought happiness on his gloomy world. The woman who warmed his cold heart and comforted him when he was alone and sad and defended him when he was bullied. She took the darkness away and borough happiness and bliss in his life. Not only did she bring happiness, she gave him a priceless gift their daughter.Tiana. His joy and day light. His
When Tiana heard his footstep she looked up and put the letter away quickly. There were tears in her eyes that she tried to hide."Is your mother fine?" Nicklaus asked as he walked closer.Tiana nodded. "She is fine." She smiled giving him a comforting look. Nicklaus sat next to her on the bed. "When do you want to go and see her? Or do you want her to come here?” He asked hating to see her sad. They had planned to meet Tiana’s mother, but back then Tiana postponed it because of pregnancy and after giving birth raising a child took most of her time. Tiana mother was also queen mother and had a lot of thing to do back in Nephus. But the two would always write letter for each other.Tiana looked at Nicklaus, she has been planning to meet her mother but she had to postpone it. “Not any time soon, Briella is still young to travel.” She said then carefully she reached for Briella. Once Briella was in her arms a smile lit up her face."I can't believe she grew so fast. It feels like I gave
Six months later.The sun shone brightly in the blue sky and the warm seasonal breeze spread the scent of flowers in the air. But despite the beautiful weather and view, all Nicklaus could do was stare at his now six-month-old daughter in his arms. Nothing was more beautiful to him in this world.The last six months of his life had been a blessing. He was surrounded by people he cared for. His wife, his daughter, his mother even his father. The relationship between Nicklaus and his father had become better since that talk they had six months ago. Now Uziah was even living with them in the castle but sometime his parent would go back to their hidden nest. What more could Nicklaus wish for?Tiana was well and healthy, and an amazing mother. She was also a wise empress. Nicklaus was proud of his wife. Now being half demon, half witch, she became even stronger and emitted magnificence and confidence. Now he wasn't afraid to hurt her as before and they could go wide with their activities…
"Your Majesty. I need to clean the princess." The midwife said with a pleading look when Nicklaus didn't want to let go of his daughter.Tiana chuckled. "Okay Klaus give the baby to the midwife so she could clean her and then I can feed her.” She said and Nicklaus unwillingly handed Briella over to the midwife carefully.But he had forever to spend with these two precious people and he began by spending time with them today. He was still very emotional and all he wanted to do was hold both his daughter and wife in his arms. As they lay in their bed, Nicklaus leaned in and planted a kiss on Tiana’s forehead."Thank you for this beautiful gift. Love you so much wife." He said and then looked at their daughter who was sleeping between them."Love you too Klaus…" Was all Tiana said, as she was falling asleep as well. He could see the exhaustion on her face.Nicklaus kissed her on the forehead one more time before slowly getting out of bed. His mother had kept her distance, probably letti
And then the day came, after a few painful days, the pain hit Tiana like never before. She remembered telling the midwife to just take the baby out and make it all end and sometimes she really thought she would die. The pain was so much that she felt her mind go numb. Then she heard the cry of her child and the pain fled to the back of my head in a flash, so far back she didn't even know or care that she was in pain few seconds ago. The melodious cry of her baby was enough for her to forget all the pain she went through just seconds ago. All she wanted was to hold her child."You have given birth to a princess, Your Majesty." The midwife said sounding sympathetic. Everyone knew that Tiana always thought that her child was a boy while the emperor always wanted a girl and would always call it little princess and the couple would always end up quarrelling about the gender of their child. The midwife was just sympathetic because Tiana didn’t get a boy like she always wanted but a girl th
One night as Rita and Tiana spent time together but Rita seemed sad and absent. "What's wrong?" Tiana asked. But riata being Rita just shook her head. "Nothing.""Is it about your marriage? Did you and Kwan have a fight?""No, we didn’t have a fight, Kwan have been so sweet and understanding. It about my brother, I think he know about Kwan being a demon.” Rita said.And Tiana almost laughed out loud but pushed it down by coughing instead. She found it funny that this was the reason why rite was so distracted. Derek and Kwan had been together during the war and even if he didn’t know about Kwan’s true nature in the past, he would have learnt about it during the war in human land. so hearing Rita’s concern, Tiana found it cute but she could not blame her, the woman was not there during the war, and dint know what might have happened there so too her, she still thinks her brother who is the ruler of all werewolves doesn’t know about demons and that Kwan is one of them. So cute and innoce
Five-month later….Thing were in line, the affected kingdoms like Nephus and Zavion were already back in their feet. Human clan had Leo as their king with twelve other rulers of each state. And the same was for other clans too with Nicklaus and Tiana being the supreme leaders. Crystal city was back in its full glory under the leadership of Yael and Rex who were now married and Yael was expecting a child too. Everything was peaceful and harmonious and those who were not happy about unify of the land, were now happy about it after seeing and experiencing the benefit of it.On Tiana side, her pregnancy was now big and showy. Pregnancy was not easy as she thought. It may be a happy thing but it had its difficulties, it come with insecurities and body changes that first time may shock you and on top of that was fear, she realized that as her stomach grew. She became more and more afraid and worried, she was worried about all the things that could go wrong during labor. The stories she read
“You may live…”“Thank you so…” Rafael thanked Nicklaus cutting him from completing his word but was cut off by Nicklaus next words “but… you will show Leo all the hidden labs in this kingdom and other kingdoms. Don’t try to lie because I can read you mind. If you don’t want to die like your master… give us the name of all the hidden labs and tell us everything you know and you will live. You choice.” Nicklaus said leaving Rafael to Kwan who the handed him to Leo and his men. “He will give you names and places of all the hidden labs, destroy them and then you can see what to do with him.” Kwan told Leo before following Nicklaus.Nicklaus’ group didn’t lose much in the battle. The casualties they suffered in terms of deaths and injured were still in an acceptable range. And those who were injured and died were the vampires. The demons had no casualties on their side. Gabriel Abel Noah and Maria were dead and Rafael was imprisoned by Leo as they continued uncovering secret layouts of N
