A shiver went down her spine. The way he said it and the look in his eyes told her he was serious.

"Why are you shocked? If I can beat you and kill you then why not burn you?"

Tiana’s throat went dry and she couldn't bring herself to say something. Sighing, he stood up and left without a word.

Tiana didn't see him for the rest of the day. He didn't come for breakfast or lunch and when it was time for dinner she asked one of the guards where he was.

"His Highness went on a business journey, he won't return until tomorrow," He explained.

Even if he was angry, he should have told her. Yet another night she slept alone, but instead of feeling relieved, she felt lonely.

When she woke up in the morning the first thing that came to her mind was Nicklaus. Was he still on his journey or had he already arrived?

"Has his highness come yet?" she asked the maid while she combed her hair.

"No your highness" Tiana sighed in disappointment. What if he was still angry and decided not to come?

    Death is coming…’The note was written by blood."What are you doing here?" suddenly Nicklaus was in the study."What is this note?" Tiana asked."It's nothing," he said taking it from her and putting it back."Is someone threatening you or is it a joke?" she asked worriedly."It's nothing you need to worry about," he said grabbing her wrist and dragging her out of the study. He had a worried look on his face which told her that there was definitely something going on."Did you like my present?" he asked before she could ask any further questions."Yes, but why? I thought you were angry with me" "I was and I still am," he said leading the way to the dining room "sit down and let's eat."Tiana did as he said. He had that aura that signaled danger again. He sat opposite her and when their eyes met she could see flames in them, they weren't calm. Something was definitely different about him, maybe there is something to the rumors."How did you bring Sandra and Margret?" Tiana really wan

  • DEVIL'S TRAP: MARRIED TO THE VETOED ALPHA   11. Stay With You

    Tiana sat on the bed waiting for Nicklaus to come after eating dinner without him yet another night. There were a lot of things they needed to talk about but she didn't want to fight with him again. Because that's what you think about me. You think I am a beast who beats and kills people then you would think that I can burn them as well right?His voice echoed in Tiana’s head. She never thought of him as a beast she just thought that he was different. He looked hurt before walking out of the dining room as if he didn't want to see her again and she wondered if he really wouldn't come. Would she have to sleep alone again? she didn't even get the chance to thank him for bringing Sandra and MargretTiana decided not to sleep alone and go look for him. She looked everywhere but couldn't find him. Where could he be?"Do you know where I can find his highness?" she asked a guard."He is in the barn, Your highness."she made her way to the barn where she found Nicklaus feeding his horse. It

    What just happened? Tiana thought.Only a taste of her lips and he could feel his demon wanting to come out. He only felt like that when he was really angry, then his demon would come out to punish whoever enraged him. As time went he had learned to control his anger and keep the demon in check. It has been a long time since his demon wanted to come out so why now?Take her! She is yours. She belongs to you. The voice inside his head commanded."Is something wrong?" Tiana asked confused as she walked closer to him."Don't come close!" he almost yelled wrapping his arms around his body. Nicklaus saw hurt in Tiana’s eyes but he didn't want to hurt her like the time he set his brother on fire. Every time his demon wanted out he did bad things.Tiana turned around and started to walk away. She was probably angry which he could understand but how could he explain when he himself could not understand. He couldn't even go after her, he needed to calm down his demon first.***Tears filled T

    Laying in the bathtub as Margret washed her hair after Nicklaus had left to let her sleep some more. She knew that Margret wanted to ask something but didn't know if she should, so she was silent."He kissed me," Tiana said. Margret’s eyes sparkled."Really? Finally!" she said, "How did it feel?""It felt..." she remembered when their lips touched the warmth that spread through her body and when their lips separated the emptiness and coldness that came with it. She wanted more, "It felt good," she said."But you just kissed nothing more?" Margret asked."No,""Don't worry there will be more," she said."Maggy?""Yes, my lady,""How does the first time feel?" Tiana asked. Margret sensed that she was worried it would hurt and that she wouldn't like it. Just the thought of being naked in front of a man made her cheeks burn."Don't worry. I am sure his highness will be gentle since he seems to care for you" Margret said reassuring her "trust me, no man would have waited so long for the wo

    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?"

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?

    Six months later.The sun shone brightly in the blue sky and the warm seasonal breeze spread the scent of flowers in the air.

    "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

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.
