Tiana rubbed her eyes as she woke up. Strangely she slept well after such a long time. Could it be because Nicklaus was sleeping next to her?Tiana looked over at Nicklaus and found herself admiring his beauty again and wondering how someone can look as sinfully beautiful as he did.As usual she could only admire his beauty while his hypnotizing eyes were closed and again her naughty fingers itched to touch him. No, she wouldn't make the mistake of touching him again while he was asleep. she had embarrassed herself enough last time. '“Only his hair. I would only touch his hair,” Tiana convinced herself and slowly brought her fingers to touch his hair when he frowned. Was he waking up? His frowned got deeper and he mumbled something looking disturbed. Was he having a nightmare?"Nicklaus?" Tiana said carefully and tapped his shoulder but he didn't wake up."Who are you?" he hissed in his sleep."Nicklaus! Nicklaus! Wake up!" Tiana called shaking him slightly. His eyes shot open and he
“I... I was a bad wife, a useless one. Yes, I never gave anything to Nicklaus and there was nothing I could give him now either, on top of that because of my selfishness I could cause his death.Rita was right, I didn't even offer him my body and got angry when he went to someone else. I was indeed selfish. I didn't have the right to be angry when he never got angry with me for not sleeping with him. The only thing I have done so far is being scared or jealous.” Tiana lamented to herself. What Rita told her hurt her to the core.What really have she done for him? What great have she done so that she could tell him not to marry someone else because she was good enough? She couldn't say that because she wasn't. her kingdom could not even help her husband."My lady? Are you alright? You look very pale." The maid who was brushing her hair asked."I am alright." Tiana said."Should I bring dinner? Maybe you are hungry.""No, I am fine. I'll go to sleep."Tiana was running in the middle of
Nicklaus should feel relieved but he didn't. He was bothered, extremely bothered. Why wouldn't Tiana mind if he married Rita? Didn't she like him anymore?After she told him she didn't mind she had left him there, confused. Something was going on with her and he didn't know what. It made him nervous. He sighed in frustration."Is something bothering you?" Nicklaus asked."Any news?" Nicklaus asked in return ignoring his question. His youngest brothers Milton and Silla and l died. Milton killed Silla and then Milton got killed by Paul. That how twisted his family was they were true predators.Ezekiel might be sly and cruel but Paul was purely evil. He was the one who bullied Nicklaus the most when they were younger."I think Paul is working with Ezekiel. Ezekiel must have promised him something." Nicklaus already knew Ezekiel was using Paul and as soon as he is finished with him he could kill him, but Paul was probably thinking that he was the one using Ezekiel.Nicklaus knew that Ezek
Death doesn't knock on the door and waits to get invited. It usually comes unexpected and without permission takes what it came for.Tiana quickly placed herself in front of Nicklaus as if she could protect him from what was about to happen, but to her surprise nor did death knock on the door nor did it come. Instead several of Nicklaus’ men almost threw themselves in front of their feet."Your Highness, we apologize for our rudeness but please help us. The crown prince has taken our families as hostages." One of them said. Tiana looked worriedly at Nicklaus but he was calm as usual."Your Highness, I beg of you to let us go and save our families." another one pleaded. Dalton came into the room looking furious."What are you doing?" He yelled at the men. "Get up on your feet and apologize to his highness if you care to live.""It's fine Dalton." Nicklaus said calmly. "You may leave to save your families," he told the men.Tiana looked surprised at Nicklaus. He was about to let half of
"Who are you?" Tiana asked the maid who made the room look like heaven. It smelled so fresh, like flowers starting to bloom in the spring. Tiana could also smell the scent of cinnamon tea combined with something else she couldn't tell, but it smelled delicious."I am your new maid. My name is Reilla My Lady" she said curtsying."Where is previous maid?" Tiana asked. The maid she was assigned for was young nice girl whom she liked very much. She didn't want a new maid."She has been transferred to Princess Rita quartered, My Lady." The maid said.Rita. she was tired of hearing her name. Tiana signed, she took her robe off and sat at the table where the scent of the delicious tea was coming from."Would you like some tea, My Lady?" Reilla asked. Tiana couldn't say no because she really wanted to taste this tea and see if it tasted as delicious as it smelled."Yes please," Tiana said. Reilla poured her the tea and handed it to her with a smile."It will help you relax, My Lady." She said
Nicklaus had been gone for five days now and Reilla and Tiana got pretty close. Reilla was a very honest person, never scared to say her opinions and Tiana felt some kind of connection with her.It was as if Reilla could understand Tiana and what she was going through. Strange, because she was sure that she couldn't have gone through what she did, although she might have gone through worse.As days went by Tiana really admired her more and more. She was a beauty with brains, very smart with her words and very graceful with everything else she did. But Tiana was still doubtful and didn't trust her entirely. Not that she did something suspicious, she just wanted to be careful.Thanks to Reilla the days didn't seem awfully long anymore, the two would chat and laugh and unlike many maids, she had a genuine laugh, not a forced one. You could see that Reilla laughed because she wanted to and not because she was scared to offend Tiana.Tiana’s thought slowly drifted to Nicklaus. Even though
"Who are you?" Nicklaus asked. The man walked closer."You should ask what I am instead." He said. The man was tall slightly taller than him and Nicklaus could feel the power coming from him."Are you like me?" Nicklaus asked remembering the man's claws."And what are you?" The man said. That was a good question. Nicklaus didn't really know what he was. All he knew was that he was different form normal werewolves."I don't know."The man narrowed his dark eyes, they were frightening."I am not like you." The man said. "But I am not here to tell you what I am. If you want to win this war you need to stop being softhearted. You need to do whatever you need to do""Why would you care about me winning this war?" Nicklaus asked."I really don't care; I just don't like your brothers." He said."Do you know my brothers?""Yes." He said with a sigh as if he was tired of all the questions, still, Nicklaus couldn't stop himself from asking."How do you know them? How did you enter the castle?"
Tiana stiffened, she didn’t know why, she knew he would kill his brothers’ sooner or later so why was she surprised? Now she understood why he was in such a bad mood last night. He must have been feeling terrible."Are you alright?" Tiana asked standing up which brought them even closer to each other."Yes, Tiana. I am perfectly fine. I don't even regret it; it is a part of me to kill. Do you know how many people these hands have killed with ease?" He asked holding up his hands." I don't even need weapons to kill. I have killed far more people with my bare hands then a sword."Why was he doing this? Why was he trying to intimidate her?"Why are you trying to scare me?""I am not." He said grabbing her arms and pulling her closer gently. "I don't want you to be scared. I just want you to be careful.""Of what?"His eyes bored into hers. "Of me. If you ever feel that I am acting different or aggressive then just go far away from me, Tiana."Far away? No, she wouldn't. In fact, she wou
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
