“Huh? What do you mean?” He asked and she sighed.“Don't worry about that, it's nothing.” “No it's not, come on, tell me what you said, I didn't get that.” “I asked why you always choose to forget me?” She asked and he scratched his hair in confusion.“I... I don't understand.” He replied and she nodded.“I know.” She replied sadly.“Am sorry Ashley, I don't just know what you are talking about, I feel like you are upset with me.” He said and she shook her head. “Am sorry.” “It's fine, I will finish up the meal myself.” She said and took the spoon for him and started to eat.“Ashley come on, am sorry.” He apologized as she ate. “It's fine Hayden, you did nothing.” She smiled at him.“Are you sure? You look disappointed in me. You asked me why I keep forgetting you, I don't think we have ever met before right?” “Nah, I don't think so too, forget I said that.” She replied and smiled at him.“Are you sure? Bryan said I marked you that am your mate, did I lose my memory or something
“Huh?” Ashley asked confused and he wrapped his arms around her waist.“Marry me, Ashley.” He said and Ashley kept staring at him, she needed time to process what he just said, is he being for real?“Hey, you don't have to reply now and you don't have to say yes if you don't want to, I just want you... ““Yes.” She cut him off and smiled at him.“What?”“Yes Hayden, I will marry you.” She replied and he smiled.“Thank you, thank you so much.” He said and kissed her lips, Ashley smiled and giggled happily.“I promise to remember our memories as soon as possible.” “It's fine, I will also help you remember.” Ashley replied and he nodded with a smile. They both suddenly heard a knock on the door and they glanced at each other.“Come in.” Hayden said and the door opened revealing the Royal guards.“Good day Sir Hayden, the King demands Miss Ashley’s presence in the throne room immediately.” The guard said and Ashley sighed.“Shit, I forgot about that. Are they going to do anything bad t
“You know what? It's fine. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to, all I need right now is a favor from you.”“What is it? I promise to do anything for you, I have really caused you a lot.”“Good, in that case, I need you to tell everyone the truth in the throne room tomorrow.” Ashley said and she froze.“What?”“I believe you heard me, Evelyn.”“I... I did but I can't... ““You made a promise just now, remember?” “Yes, and that was because I thought you would ask for something else.”“Really? What do you think I would ask for?” “I don't know but I expected anything apart from that.” “Well, sorry but that is what I want.”“Am sorry Ashley, I can't do it.” She said and Ashley sighed.“Look, I get the fact that you are scared of the royal family but I will get locked up tomorrow for something I didn't do, do you really want that?” “Then what will happen to me if I tell the truth? I could get punished for having a secret affair with the Prince or worse, I could get killed for
Bryan walked in the hallway as he headed towards his chambers, he came across Princess Ariadne and she smiled at him.“Bryan.” “Princess Ariadne.” He called and smiled at her.“Is that smile genuine?”“Is there a reason why it won't be genuine?” Bryan asked with his hands in his pocket.“I don't know, maybe because I am having issues with your demon and his supposed lover.” She replied with a smile and moved closer to him slowly.“It's them you are having issues with, not me. Have a nice day Princess.” He said and was about to leave but the Princess stood in front of him.“Not so fast cutie.” She whispered and wrapped her arms around her neck.“You do realize you are betrothed to my demon right?”“Oh please, we both know Hayden doesn't want me, he is obsessed with that annoying maid.” “I don't like you calling my friend annoying.” “Ugh, fine, am sorry.” She apologized and stroked his hair.“Let me go of me, Ariadne.” Bryan said and tried pushing her off but she held him tightly.“O
Ashley slowly opened her eyes and the first pair of eyes she saw was Hayden’s.“Hey, babe.” Hayden called and helped her sit up on the bed.“Hey.” She replied and creased her hair.“Where is Bryan?” She asked.“Right here.” Bryan replied and she turned to see him sitting on the other side of the bed. She stared at him and noticed he looked terrified, she turned to Hayden and sighed.“So, what did you see? Is Bryan in danger? Is he not? Did he do something?” Hayden asked and Ashley smiled.“Nah, I didn't see much, all I saw was just some flashes of memories.” “What memories?” Hayden asked.“None of your business.” Ashley laughed and he frowned.“I deserve to know, I was panicking when you passed out.” “It's none of your business.” She laughed and he rolled his eyes.“Whatever.” He scoffed and she smiled.“Can I go to my room? I just want to pick something up.” Ashley said and Hayden frowned.“Ten minutes, if you are a second late, I will get upset.”“Yes sir.” She joked and got off t
“Hmm, dad, I now work in a bank.” Ashley replied.“See? I told you.” Her mother said to her father.“That’s nice honey, we have to go now. Bye.” Her father said and ended the call. Ashley sighed in relief and dropped her phone, she turned and suddenly screamed in fear when she hit something hard.“It's ten minutes twenty seconds already.” Hayden said and she looked up at him breathing heavily.“Is that why you want to give a heart attack?” She yelled and he chuckled.“Am sorry I scared you, I was just worried.”“Yeah, because I am twenty seconds late.” She scoffed and she smiled.“Let’s go.” He said and wrapped his arms around her waist, Ashley closed her eyes and expected them to show up in his room but instead, they appeared somewhere else. The woods.“What are we doing here?” Ashley asked looking around as he let go of her waist.“Just felt like coming out, that castle is so boring.” He sighed and Ashley took her time to analyze the environment. She hasn't been to this part of the
“Hayden.” Ashley called holding his hands as he choked her, she stared into his eyes and she knew the man standing in front of her wasn't Hayden. He looked so ruthless and angry.“Hayden.” She called and hit his hand repeatedly, she knew he wasn't going to let her go and she needed to do something.“Bryan.” She muttered but he didn't show up.“Bryan.” She gasped and he still didn't show up, Hayden was about to finally squeeze the life out of her when Bryan showed up.“Fuck, Hayden.” Bryan called and pulled Ashley away from him, she coughed repeatedly and gasped for breath.“Are you okay?” Bryan asked and she nodded.“What is wrong with Hayden?” Ashley asked as Hayden walked towards them.“I don't know, am not sure, did he kill anyone or did he taste blood?” “Yes, he did. We were attacked by vampires.” Ashley replied and stood up.“Should we run?” Ashley asked in fear.“Yes, that is the best idea.” Bryan replied and tried teleporting with Ashley but he couldn't.“What is going on?”“I
“I am so sorry.” He said again and she smiled at him.“It's fine.” She replied and he stared at her neck. He sighed and creased it.“I don't think I can ever get over this.” He muttered as he creased the scars.“It's okay, I am fine.”“Are you feeling any pain?”“No, not at all.” She replied and he sighed in relief.“Thanks to Bryan though.” She said and he nodded.“Yeah, thanks to him.” He muttered and kissed her.“Bryan.” Hayden called as he pulled away from the kiss and Bryan showed up.“Hey, there is the angry naked man.” Bryan joked and Hayden glared at him, Ashley laughed and Hayden also glared at her.“Shut up.”“Seems you guys already made up.” “Yeah.” Ashley replied and smiled at Hayden.“Thanks for showing up man.” Hayden said and he nodded.“Anytime, now will both of you please leave my room?” He asked and Ashley giggled, Hayden teleported with her and they appeared in his room.Ashley sighed and was about to lie on the bed but Hayden pulled her to himself and placed his h
