Catalina’s POVOne week went by, and nothing changed for me. I'm still here waiting for him to come back to me, as I always have. I'm looking at the wedding ring on my finger and smiling at myself as I think about him, but someone else got my attention. Connor was standing at the door. He was looking at me with the sweetest smile, and then Ryder Blue came. Ryder saw him, and now they were talking about business. Jane had just arrived, and when she saw me, she smiled and hugged me. "I'm sorry, I'm running late. I'd like to wish your grandfather a happy 78th birthday, but I don't know where he is.""He's inside. You can go now!" I said happily. She looked up and saw me looking at Connor. "Well, I guess you need to talk to him," she said. Ryder walked inside, then he kissed my cheek as a warm greeting, “Hi, thanks for inviting me.” "Thank you for coming, Ryder." He then gave the nod and went inside. Leila was the one who talked to him and offered him a place. I was going to look for
Catalina’s POVI had nothing but contempt for him in my gaze, and all I could think about was escaping this hellish environment. When the man noticed that the large metal door had already been opened to the outside, he cast a peek in my direction. When I went outside, I heard a low growl, and then I felt as if a ghost had started to haunt me when a group of vampires was staring at me. They came up to me with cheery expressions and greeted me with the words, "Come with us, princess." They grabbed my arm and dragged me to the blood-filled jacuzzi, causing every part of my body to shake with rage and terror. Then, to my utter astonishment, they prepared to force me into that pool of blood. I fumbled my words as I raised my hand and said, "Hey! Don't - Please don't do this to me! I'm terrified of....blood!" Then I stepped backward and ran away from them, but then they were already surrounding me with a smile on their faces. “Did she really think that she could get away with us?” The
Catalina’s POVThaddeus's face darkened when he saw Connor walk in, holding a bouquet of flowers for me. Connor is one of my best friends, and I'm glad he's such a great one. He smiled at me and said something softly but angrily. "If I had been there, I would have set that monster vampire on fire and let them yell for pain!" “It’s okay…I’m safe already. Thaddeus save me—” "He has no choice but to save you, Catalina. He's the reason vampires have always wanted to kill you, because you'll always be tied to this man!" Connor answered with a face full of anger. "Stop it, Connor. Don't tell that to the person who saved my life." I'm trying to stop him from punching Thaddeus by holding his hand. I know Thaddeus is a vampire, so he might not have been able to control himself. He might hurt Connor really badly by mistake. If staring could kill, Connor and Thaddeus would have killed each other right in front of me. Thaddeus made a threatening face at Connor, clenched his jaw, and said, "I
Catalina’s POVThaddeus, take me to my new villa that I bought last week. I like to buy things that make me happy, and this cute villa reminds me of how I wanted to live with my prince when I was a little girl. I’m in love with him. I really do. How much more heartbreak can I bear when he leaves me again? All I wanted to do was hug him forever. The idea that he would abandon me again with a broken heart is driving me crazy. He led me inside like a bride, and I couldn't help but laugh gently when he kissed my forehead and worked his way down to my lips. The kiss became more passionate, and as I kissed him back, I used my hands to tenderly trace the curve of his neck all the way down to his chest. He grinned the entire time he kissed me, even when he lightly nibbled the corner of my lower lip. He realized what he was doing and quickly backed away to rein in his urge to bite me. “I’m sorry….are you alright?” he asked as he put his thumb on my lips. I nod my head, and say, “I’m fin
Catalina’s POV"Thaddeus….are you jealous?" I asked in a funny way and faced him with my arms crossed. I watched as his soft, red lips turned into a smile, and his cheeks turned pink as if he was blushing. He stepped back and smiled at me while his eyes got smaller. "I'm not jealous, okay?" "Are you not? Then why are you acting that way? It's not normal that you kicked Ryder out of my room and made him look like a loser. You don't have to do that again if you aren't jealous." When I thought about what had happened a few minutes ago, I sighed softly and rolled over in my bed. I smiled secretly because it made my heart so happy that the man I loved was jealous.He sat on my bed and poked my leg. I initially ignored him, but when he put his hand on my thigh, I bit my lower lip and stared at him wide-eyed. "What are you doing?""N-Nothing." He put up his hands and let out a sigh. "Okay, look. I'm jealous….Every guy who was close to you makes me jealous, and if you forgot, I know you ki
Catalina’s POVMy anxiety is killing me, and it's no longer entertaining for me. I'm losing control of my feelings, and it makes me feel like I can't breathe whenever I look at my half-sister giving me the death stare. Connor took a call from his men, and I happened to overhear them talking about the vampire, so I asked him about it. "A vampire? Connor, don’t tell me that you are torturing vampires again! I know that you’re a vampire hunter, but please….don’t touch Thaddeus!” “You’re really into him, huh? Really? You will sacrifice everything just for him?” I gasped, “Well, you don’t understand. I care for that guy.” After he hung up the phone, he looked at me and said, "Yes, you know that I'm hunting deadly vampires in our city now. I received a news report that a vampire killed a man in the street, and his organs were tangled and bleeding on the inside. I'm still confused as to how vampires are able to do that without even so much as cracking one of the man's bones." “It’s the
Catalina’s POVEverything happened so quickly that I didn't know whether to say yes or no. My tongue was stuck in my mouth, and I didn't know what to say because I didn't want to upset my grandpa in his last few weeks. The doctor told him that he would die in a few weeks, and I wanted him to be happy and not think about anything. I stood on the terrace and watched my grandpa walk outside with his nurse and two guards. They waved goodbye and then left. Connor stood next to me, so I took off the ring on my finger and said, "We don't have to do this. We can pretend to get married, but it should be fake." In the dark, Connor's green eyes flashed, and he said in a serious voice. "This is the only way to save your grandfather's business. Your grandfather didn't force me to marry you, Catalina. Well, if that's what you want, we can make it a fake marriage." And that's how things start to get out of hand....*********Thaddeus’ POVA year later…."King Thaddeus, we heard that a few new m
Catalina’s POVI bit my lower lip until it bled, then wiped it with my thumb and opened the door to look for him. I'm afraid I won't see him again or that I'll have to wait months to see him again. To my surprise, he was already smiling sweetly and standing in front of me. "Are you looking for me?"I dramatically licked my lower lip and grabbed his collar to give him a wild, desperate kiss. His soft lips stayed and melted in my mouth. I opened my mouth to let his tongue in until we closed the door of my suit, and we never broke the passionate kiss. He tasted the blood on my lower lip, moaned softly, and slowly pulled me away. At the same time, I was trying to catch my breath while staring at him with doubt. He said, "I can't do that because you're married and—" I didn't let him finish his sentence. Instead, I grabbed him by the neck and pulled him in for a kiss. When he kissed me back, I pulled the kiss away. I bit my lower lip and didn't look him in the eyes, which was my way o
THIRD POV Tonight will be the night of coronation because it's already a full moon and the night will be full of celebrations. Catalina looking at the full moon while holding her baby is the best feeling. she kissed her baby’s forehead and said, “You will have your coronation tonight as the heir of the Vampire King, do you know why everyone is here? It's because they love you and they respect your father. I am sure in the future you will be like him, you will be the next Vampire king too…you will be the only heir in the family.” She said and hugged her baby while waiting for Thaddeus to come out on the stage. Catalina looked around and she sees different personalities and she can't believe all of these people were Vampires too. Leila and Salvatore arrived to witness the grand night Leila is already pregnant too, and Salvatore bit her to be one of them, and her sister now is a pure vampire. “Hi, baby, let me take your baby, please…ah he is so cute, I want him,” Leila said and carri
A few months later, Catalina’s POVOur lives have been full of ups and downs for some time now, and because of our complex thinking, we are unsure of how certain we are or how we will manage the situation when it arises. I'm sitting next to him in our bed, giving his lips a passionate kiss to rouse him from his slumber so we can eat breakfast which was delicious fresh blood from animals that we hunted last night. He groaned as he wrapped his hands around my waist and pulled me in for a kiss."I love you..."“I love you too…” And my tummy isn't very noticeable yet; I'm not sure why; perhaps it's because I don't have a massive baby bulge like the other woman. In addition, I am one month and two weeks pregnant. Before I know it, I'll be holding a baby who is wailing with excitement (soon).He passionately kissed me and is now on top of me; I shower early in the morning, so he is eager to make love to me; I am preparing to provide him with my most complete and passionate love.Because
Catalina’s POV"Behold, the bride has arrived!" The minister continued, and all eyes turned to the bride as she made her way down the aisle. She looks so attractive and sexy, and her svelte figure perfectly matches her stunning wedding dress. It was a moment of pure delight when she smiled at me, and I know how appreciative she is that Thaddeus and I were a part of her wedding day. While we gazed at one another adoringly and Thaddeus gently stroked my palm, he communicated with me through a mind link, saying, "I love you..." In return, I gave him a grin and asked, "Do you know why I love you so much?" "Why?""Because you never stop showing me how much love you have for me." When Leila and Salvatore kissed in front of the three biggest groups of vampires, they proved that our hearts, not our heads, decide who we fall in love with. Like the love between Thaddeus and me, this is undeniable. All my waiting for him paid off since he finally came home for me, and he never tires of chasi
Catalina’s POV"Yes, Thaddeus is here to put an end to these two scumbags." I smiled proudly as I said it. "No, you can't kill my brother!" said Connor. "He's no longer your brother, and he's no longer Arthur! Connor, open your eyes!" I said as I yelled at him. He put his hand over her ear and said, "No, I won't listen to you. I will do anything to protect my brother." “Connor what the fuck are you doing?!” I saw him trying to help his brother get up, but Arthur bit his neck and stretched his face with his claws. I sighed as I saw him with deep regret in his eyes when he glanced at me. He grabbed Arthur’s head and pushed it against the wall while trying to put the injection on Arthur’s body but it had no effect. I have no choice but to kill Arthur in front of Connor, so that he could wake up in reality that Arthur was already dead, and the man in front of him was not Arthur. It was a Hybrid Zombie who wants to cause chaos with everyone. Connor yelled at me, and cried hysterical
Connor’s POV“That’s not what I mean Connor, what I want to say is that you need to open your eyes that Thaddeus is not the enemy here, and all the guards that you killed are good vampires, why do you kill them? Connor, please believe in me, there’s still good vampires out there….” I sighed in frustration, “Oh, I’m a good vampire….one of their kind bit me, and turned me into this!” I pointed to myself, and my eyes darkened red. Leila didn’t even move away when she saw me like this, she cupped my face and said. “You are not a monster, Connor. You’re good, you haven’t changed at all.” I laughed softly and said. “I have never wanted this in my life, and they turned me into one of them, that's why I hated them….I want them to vanish in this world!” I stood up and was about to leave her but she was just still sitting there watching me, and observing my behavior. “Is Salvatore saying all these things to you?” She didn’t answer me, and she took her purse because I think she’s done with
Connor’s POV"Hey, I need to get out of this place! I'm sick and tired of waiting for my life to end; why can't you just put an end to it and stop causing me to suffer each and every day? I want to die!" Theodore grumbled to himself while locked up in his sweltering cell. He appeared to be a monster as I gazed at him from head to toe; his eyes were melting, and his skin was turning gray; he looked like a monster now, the kind of monster that no one would ever want to see in their life. He looked so fucking awful that I couldn't look away from him. I laugh in satisfaction, “Well, look at you. You are so dead now, but not totally dead yet. You deserve to be tortured in this way, so that you will know how painful it is about dying!” “My son took your mom, do you think my son has tortured your mom this way?” I had not considered that possibility, but if Thaddeus were responsible for what happened to my mother, I would see to it that his father meets an unthinkable end. Thaddeus acquir
Catalina’s POV"If I really wanted to murder you...I would have done it already right now. But not yet, not too soon. Just wait for it." I responded while rolling my eyes and taking Leila with me as we exited the room that was filled with their terror due to the presence of the two older women within. I sat down in the secluded area, took a few deep breaths, and asked myself, "Why is it that I no longer feel any guilt? and I'm—" I can detect the odor of blood; someone has cut themselves out there, perhaps because they are running for miles. I could picture him wetting a dry cloth and applying it to the minor cut on his knees to staunch blood flow. I have my eyes closed and am concentrating on the smell. I need some of that blood. Damn it. When Leila called my name and yelled at me, I didn't even bother to look at her; I just continued running. "Catalina! Where do you intend to go?! Catalina!" I didn't want to hear her voice, and I didn't want to stop running; I needed to find the m
Catalina’s POVBecause I know Leila is lying to me, she does not want to look into my eyes when we are conversing. She knows something about Emily that she will not disclose to me at this time. I gave her a friendly smile and reassuring words, "There is no longer any need for you to be concerned about Emily. You've matured, and now, if she is sent to prison to pay for everything she's done to our family, everything that our father has left to you will be yours. You will one day receive what you have worked so hard for, which is a life that is rich with fulfillment."She cast a quick peek across to Salvatore, who was still having a conversation with Thaddeus. After that, she turned her attention back to me. "Do you want to see Emily and Jessica?" My curious eyes lit up, and I asked, "Where are they? Are you able to show me the way?"She held my hand and said. "Yes, Of course. Come with me." Leila and I walked inside, to the hallway, and I tried to act as human even though I wanted t
Thaddeus’ POVWhile waiting for the outcome, I was already not fine; I was anxious all the time while Salvatore and Leila were gazing at me all the time. They were also not sure what would happen in the following few hours. They both glanced at me with anxious eyes and sat next to me to make me feel better. But I am not even okay. My mind was full of thoughts right now that I didn’t even wonder if it's good to think about it. “Hey, Thaddeus. It’s going to be fine, just don’t pressure yourself because you look like you are going to explode in worry.” Salvatore said. I cocked my head to the side to cast a sidelong glance in his direction and said, "You don't know anything about being worried, Damn. I have a lot of concerns regarding her; in your opinion, do you believe she will be okay? I am aware that my heart has stopped beating, but for some reason it felt as if it was going to burst out of my chest because I was so terrified that I was going to lose her at any moment in time."Sa
