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
Beautiful women clad in silk flowed into the room and began to move in rhythm with the music. Nicklaus watched as the curvy women in front of him swayed with their hips seductively to get the males' attention. Derek who was sitting next to him seemed to enjoy the view while sipping his wine."I like that blonde-haired one. Which one catches your attention?" Derek asked.Nicklaus’ eyes swept over the women twirling around each other wearing almost nothing. Yes, they were beautiful, exotic, but none of them enticed him."Hard to decide? You can take two if you want." Derek said in amusement when Nicklaus didn't reply.Maybe he should. It has been a long time since he took a woman to bed, and that might be the reason his demon was out of control. Taking a woman might calm his demon down a bit so that he could finally be with Tiana."I'll take the tall one" Nicklaus finally decided. Derek gave him a knowing smile.****Looking out the window, Tiana watched as the clear blue summer sky tra
Nicklaus watched as the woman undressed seductively, waiting to get a reaction from him, but when she got nothing..."Don't be shy. Maybe... you would like to undress me?" she said as she stalked toward him while eyeing him up and down. "Or maybe I should undress you first" she continued as she tugged at his robe.He grabbed her arm harshly and gave her a hard glare. Why didn't he like the fact that this woman was trying to undress him when he came here willingly?"Oh... so you want to do it with clothes on? I get it. Everyone has their own preference." she smiled, trying to lighten his mood.He let go of her arm and as soon as he did she slid her arm around his neck and pulled him down, pressing her lips to his. She kissed him hungrily, and he kissed her back, but he felt nothing. Why? He pushed her body closer, trying to feel something but nothing. She didn't taste as sweet as Tiana, didn't smell like her, didn't feel like her. She didn't make his heart beat as fast, or his body bur
Sitting in front of the mirror, a maid combed Tiana’s hair. "Your hair is so beautiful," she smiled.Yeah but unfortunately she wasn't a tall with red hair and her husband seemed to like tall women."Thank you" she smiled back."My Lady, do you want this dress or this one?" she said holding up two new dresses once she was done with her hair."None of them. Pick me a really beautiful dress." Tiana ordered. She would make Nicklaus regret what he did. she would make him sleepless as he made her. she even wanted to make him cry because even though she didn't want to admit to herself, she cried a little last night.Oh, how I needed Margret and Sandra now.’ Tiana thought.The maid picked her a red-colored dress which complemented her hair and skin color perfectly. She put some paint on her lips and some perfume, then Tiana let her hair down, she looked at herself in the mirror.‘Now he would want me, but I wouldn't give in so easily.’ She thought.Lastly, she put my shoes on and strode out
Tiana stood there and watched while Nicklaus examined Rita’s arm. Tiana was sure she did it on purpose."I am all right." Rita said blinking with her long lashes, something Tiana had noticed she does often in Nicklaus’ presence."Are you sure." Nicklaus asked looking at her wound again. He probably felt guilty, but she was the one that wanted to fight and she was doing all this on purpose. She was doing it to get close to him.Why does she always have to fight for him? Tiana felt tired of it. Not wanting to see any of it anymore, she decided to leave.Tiana was hurt, angry, tired. Should she have stayed with her parents? Did she make a mistake by coming here with Nicklaus? Tears filled her eyes and not wanting anyone to see her cry, she walked faster through the halls. When she got around the corner she bumped into someone and stumbled backwards."I am sorry, My Lady, I didn't see you coming." Miguel said, startled."It's all right" Tiana said, trying to walk past him as she didn't wa
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
